Question of the Day: Will you be subscribing to the new Disney+ R49 streaming package?
N95 Firmware update - 20.0.015
- Thread starter LandyMan
- Start date
Changes in the new firmware
* New Welcome application
* New camera software and tweaks from the 8GB model - FAR faster shot to shot time, with 'Processing image message' during any delays
* Long press on camera button launches camera if shutter is open
* New My Nokia SMS tips and mobile web portal system
* Demand paging (for ROM applications) with 30 plus MB free RAM after booting.
* Search 4.0 integration on standby screen.
* Old multimedia menu still there, i.e. it's not the new style
* N-Gage game previews (FIFA, Asphalt) and portal/shortcut to upcoming N-Gage client, as in N81 and N95 8GB
* Nokia Music Store client, although the store server hasn't been updated to handle the N95 yet - maybe this'll happen later today
* Keypress bug gone(!), I think

How do I upgrade, just with the software updater?

Yes, but I just had a look and the new firmware is not available for the Vodafone branded Vodacom phones here in SA ... is your phone branded or unbranded tera?
It's my bro's phone uncle Landy, I'm too poor
It's unbranded I believe, it doesn't show anything about Vodafone on it

Then it might just work out the box. Go here, then check the product code behind the battery and type it into the field on the above page ... it should give you either v12.0.xxx or v20.0.xxx, depending if the new one is available for your specific product code

Can anyone remember how to change the product code?

Cool, thanks. I totally forgot about NSS. Just busy backing up all my stuff then I'm flashing.
Where do I find this file: new_menu_structure.sis

The v20.0.015 firmware is cool. Going to play around with it just now. First busy to restore my Contacts, SMS, Calender Entries etc.....

We will most probably not see it as an official SA release for at least 2 months (if lucky) ... It was only released today for Europe, and still has to go through extensive network testing for the SA networks.

Well, not really ... I've read some reports that when guys had problems with new "non-official" firmware, they reset the product code to the original and it works better (thats if you had problems with the new firmware). I reckon it is best practise to set it back in any case, if you do need to take it in for repairs to Nokia
Ok cool but what happens if somthing goes wrong when im updating, then surely they won't honour the warranty? So what do I do .... Open NSS, click phone info then fill in the product code and click the enable box next to it then click write ..... Is this correct or am I missing a step/completly wrong? Then afterwards just use nokia updater like normal?
