Hey everyone. I found a solution... kind of.
I used my friends phone who had a US version of the N95-3, he ran it and it Updated fine. Mine is a 'Telstra' (an Australian network operator) branded N95-3.
We went to the Nokia Update Site and inputted both his and my product codes into the check box. His had an update available, mine did not.
It looks like the above user was right in saying that the error message means that there is no software available.
If your phone doesn't have the latest firmware, try this:
1. Get a copy of your product code.
"... you need your device’s product code. The code is printed on the white label beneath the battery and will look similar to this: CODE: 0520001"
FYI, my product code was the first 5 numbers of a much longer number.
2. Go to
http://europe.nokia.com/A4577224 and check you product code against the database. If it says you have updates available, then proceed to NSU. My prediction is that it will work.
3. If it says you do NOT have updates available, but your firmware version is low or your phone is new then I think the issue is that your phone is branded to a specific company. By branded I do not mean locked. Branded phones (those with operator menus etc) have different product codes to the 'generic n95'.
4. Branded handsets with operator product codes do not always GET updates, as they have to be modified and approved by the operators first, which they often do not bother to do.
5. So in conclusion, i think it is just that the NSU is providing shocking user feedback into what the problem with the update is. Perhaps this is due to an actual prior server problem, where some corrupted files were downloaded. Now, while the problem appears the same, it is of a different nature. If you read my last post in this forum on page 7, you will see that I said my log files were very different from when the problem started to when I found a solution.
6. Either its that, or they have just fixed it and im an idiot.
Hope this helps, I'll check back to see what you think.
