By changing the firmware of your phone, you can significantly improve its performance. The same applies to the Nokia 5800 mobile device. However, there are some difficulties associated with it, as several firmware versions have been released in recent years. Therefore, before improving the device, it is necessary to determine its version.
Instructions
Step 1
When purchasing, please ask for the firmware version of your Nokia 5800 mobile phone. As a rule, sellers are familiar with this information. However, if the device is bought from hands or has been with you for a long time, then you need to look at the firmware yourself. To do this, you can use one of several methods.
Step 2
Switch on your Nokia 5800 phone and dial the following combination: * # 0000 #. Then go to "Menu" - "Phone", select "Phone management" and go to the "Device update" section. Thus, you can determine not only the firmware version, but also be able to find out various additional data.
Step 3
Determine the product code of the Nokia 5800 phone. To do this, remove the battery from the device and find the 7-digit combination preceded by the Product code. The inscription can be made in blue, red or black. Going to "Menu" - "Device update", go to the "Check for update" function.
Step 4
Then go to the website https://europe.nokia.com/A4577224, select your phone model Nokia 5800 and enter the corresponding numbers in the “Enter your product code:” window. As a result, you will be able to identify the firmware series and the latest available version.
Step 5
Download the Update software from Nokia website (https://europe.nokia.com). Install it on your personal computer. Connect your mobile phone to your PC using a USB cable. Launch the app and follow the prompts to determine the current firmware version and check for recommended updates.
Step 6
Check the firmware if you buy a mobile device hand-held. The fact is that Russified devices have specific versions, and if the phone was delivered from abroad illegally, it will be quite difficult for you to reflash and install additional functions.
