I encountered my error prior to the phone being plugged in. I dunno if the USB cable made any difference. Also, I got 2 different USB cables and they returned the same error.

An error occurred when attempting to download firmware information.
[SoapException]
Service specific exception: com.nokia.posti.server.caresuite.webservice.ProductNotFoundFault

I tried the Quality Assurance and Nokia Care Suite servers as well and got the same error. Also, the Parse VPL box was unchecked because if checked, C3-00 will disappear from the drop down list after the above error first appears.

Please help if you can. Thanks!

I've been trying to locate a version of Navifirm that'll work with the C3-00. I've used v. 0.4, v.1.1 by Cepot and v.1.3 (Navifirm plus) and none of them have C3-00 as a choice. Is there any other freeware out there for flashing the C3? Please provide links if you can, if not, a PM to me would be very much appreciated. Thank you!

It depends on what you want to use your phone. if you just use it make a call, never upgrade it.

I am using it for more than just calls. If there is a big difference I would like to upgrade it but I am not sure if it is worth the headache. It is obviously possible but I can't find anything about how to set the Personal Settings to make the phone work. I don't want to do this unless I am sure I can get it to work.

The APN setting is locked. However, you can set your own in "personal settings". And now the newest version is v8.63. Forget about the code.

Do you have any good link to help explain this? Maybe there is a thread in this forum somewhere (though a search didn't give me anything)? I don't mind learning something new, but I want to have some idea before I attempt anything.

And is the new version worth it?

I would assume that instead of upgrading your phone firmware using the nokia route, you are actually doing it via JAF ?

yes. I did it by Nokia's Phoenix.

How did you get the APN settings? Am thinking of attempting the upgrade but not sure what I will get myself into.

thanks. anyone know where to get this micro USB cable cheap ? It is a bit ridiculous that there is no such thing comes with the phone(afterall, it is a smart 'dump phone'). I can use my LG one(just for this upgrade) but I am planning to sell it soon.

I found one and a protective case at this site, the price included free shipping which i thought was not bad. The actual packaged said it was mailed from Quebec.

I am wondering if there are serverely crippled C3 that have locked. May I ask what is your code that shows under the battery ?

yike. hope you can get back the APN settings. Does it mean it is better to hold off the upgrade ?

I tried the nokia.ca site and punch in my product code (059F4C9) and it said no update is available, same goes for the Ovi suite and the in phone software update option. *#0000# also doesn't contain the 'options' menu item.

The current one is 4.6.

Hi

Just get the C3 and like it better than my Optimus One(the screen is not as good as the LG but I feel more at home with the C3 style navigation).

Anyway, could someone tell me how do I upgrade the firmware to 7.2( from 4.2) ? I tried the builtin upgrade firmware option(via Wifi) which just tell me there is no upgrade available but we all know that the newest is 7.2

thanks in advance.

You can use the USB cable upgrade it. The newest version is 7.25. I upgraded it. but lost the APN settings.

It took a couple of weeks to arrive, but it eventually did, and it worked fine. I also bought a 4GB micro-SD card from Deal Extreme, to install in my C3.
