Updating the firmware on the 7210 ...

[AshMoussa]

Hey forum ...

I know from what i have read on this forum that there are updates to the 7210 firmware. Can anyone tell me how to flash these firmwares "SUCCESSFULLY" and what equipment to use ?? oh and another thing does anyone have the firmware files to be used in this procces ?

As always thanx for the help in advance...

Being a complete coward I would suggest the safe and boring method: get a Nokia approved dealer to do it. In the UK Carphone Warehouse will do it for free as a warranty claim against Nokia (even if they did not sell you the phone). The latest version is 4.24 I think.

Thx Tazfiend ...

Now I wish I was in the UK or anywhere in Europe for that matter. It seems that GSM technology, in Europe, is so far ahead of the US. I wouldn't know where to go here in the US to update the firmware.

I know the answer to this question already but, would you happen to know any place here in the states that could do this for me? The only 2 companies here in the US that have GSM, don't even have the 7210.

Thx again for the reply.

Regards,

Ash

Sorry, you guessed right - I don't know anywhere in the States to do the upgrade. Your other option is to get a data cable and do the flash yourself, but I've no info on that. You should be able to find out a lot just surfing these forums.

Good luck!

I think someone on here posted that the Nokia repair center (Florida) did it for them (no charge), but that it took a while.

Maybe search thru the forum some more!

I'm headed to London next week, so I will try the CarPhone Warehouse there and report back.
