Hi PFM7,

Thanks PFM7 was looking for this for a long time and it was a standard function of Motorola which is my last phone, GONG XI FA CAI to you. Was lazy and hoping you could give me axact location. Why don't disclose your name.

********************************************

Hi Laihiru,

Its been a long time, Yes I've updated my firmware to the latest (same reference as yours in France) 2/3 days ago. All seems the same, unforunately, my radio volume has become softer again. It was fixed @ the second update, don't know why. I'm still using the F-secure anti virus but with no more updates. Just wondering if all the negative feedbacks could be the works of virus ?

    i bear no responsibility for your fone..

    TUTORIAL: How to turn ur N73 into N73 Music Edition

    screenshots here

    http://thenokiablog.com/2006/11/28/how-to-update-original-nokia-n73-firmware-to-music-edition/


    This is what we do, step by step:

    Firstly, remember to buck up ur data from the phone to the Memory card like that: Tools/memory card/options/backup phone mem.


    Steps:
    1. Download that software tool NSS from here : click here to go to the NSS downloading page
    Code:
    http://www.b-phreaks.co.uk/files/NSS/NSS10383.zip


    2. Extract the tool from the archive and install it.

    3. Connect ur N73 to the PC via data cable.

    4. Now open NSS tool, in the upper right corner there is an icon in a shape of "magnifier", press it to find ur attached device. In the upper left corner is a button "Info", press it to find out ur phone firmware code. It should be somethin like 0538........

    5. Now instead of the existing code write some of the follows:
    0537289 Euro 1
    0539193 France
    0539207 Alps
    0539239 Euro 2
    0539256 Turkey
    0539265 South Africa
    0539269 Scandanavia
    0539278 Baltains
    0539279 Russia
    0539284 Ukraine
    0539285 Bulgaria
    0539289 Hungary
    0539291 Balkans
    0539293 Greece/Cypurs
    0539294 Lebanon
    0539295 Gulf
    0539298 Israel
    0539299 Romania
    0539343 Chinese, English
    0539346 Philippines,English, Indonesia, Malaysia, Philipino
    0539349 Australia/New Zealand,English, Indonesia, Malaysia, Philipino
    0539352 Indonesia -> English, Indonesia, Malaysia, Philipino
    0539354 India/Vietnam -> English, Indonesia, Malaysia, Philipino
    0539351Thailand -> English, Thai
    0539341 Belarus (sorry guys, those are all the codes,that I know, there are many more for every region of the world)

    6. After u enter the desired code in the "Product code" field press the "Write" button below. That's it for now - exit the NSS tool software.



    The first part of the update is done,guys, now follow the second....

    1. Without disconnecting ur phone from the PC, go here to download Nokia Software Updater: click here to go to the NOKIA SOFTWARE UPDATER PAGE

    2. Install it on ur PC and run it.

    3. Follow the steps on NSU. That's all!

    REMEMBER:

    1. youR phONE SHOULD NOT BE IN OFFLINE MODE (ACCORDING TO ME SILENT MODE IS THE BEST WHILE DOING THIS SO NOONE DISTURBS U AS THE VIBRATION CAN DISCONNECT UR FONE )

    2. THE NEW FIRMWARE COULD BE ABOVE 70-76 MB AND UR PHONE SHOULD NOT BE DISCONNECTED AT ANY TIME IN THE PROCESS (COZ IT MAY COMPLETELY RUINE UR FONE)

    3. ITS NOT RISKY (WORKED OUT REALLY WELL IN MY N73)


    In the end u should have a brand new N73 Music Edition with new Music Player and 2-3 new themes

    Now get ur phone data from the backed up file on MMC like that: Tools/Memory Card/Options/Restore from card.

        hi NiR,
        I dont know why it happend, I have window Xp prof. And I dont have any Service pack as Nokia asked for upgrading the fone. Better not to touch the fone when it is upgrading,full battery charged,and better is higher internet speed.I have 1056 Kbps and it took total 20-22 minutes to upgrade. Tray agian and keep ur fone aside and dont even even touch it, just wait till the computer gives the msg that ur has been updated succesfully....thanx

              Why you are asking about a key?
              To update FIRMWARE u dont need a product key.

                Hi all. I'm thinking of buying the N73 and wondered if anybody could tell me: will the phone run slower if I put in a 2gb miniSD card than if I use a 1gb card? Many thanks.

                        N73 cannot set full screen wallpapers or animated gif wallpapers, but you can adjust image sizes accordingly ( eg: 440 x 480, or 240 x 320 ) to fit screen as much as possible.


                        Download music ringtone editor applications, such as audiogizmo ringtone creator from warez-bb.org,and create personalized mp3 / wma ringtones, alarm tones, message tones, or simply download the original Nokia tones from mobilesmania.com

                        Create new profile, rename it as anything you want, and it will appear on the top of the main screen.


                        After installation of any games / applications, go Tools > File Manager > Installed files, and clear away the items ( if any ).


                        If certain games / applications cannot be uninstalled, try removing them in Tools > Application Manager


                        Switch off Bluetooth when not in use to prevent “blue-jacking”, or hacking of mobiles.
