Hello! I've been around various mobile phone forums and none of them gave me the info. I need.. except this one so thus I signed up to ask for some help.

I recieved an N80 phone from work and did an update over NSU to get it to the latest version of which it did, 4.(something or another). All went smoothly and was working fine. A mate of mine told me I could update to 5.x which is for the N80 Internet Edition, so I used NSS to change my product code (worked fine) and then NSU to update to 5.x - NSU said 5.x is the latest available and was updating, and then, my girlfriend comes along and sits on the bed (as my laptop and phone was on there) and disconnects the USB cable from the phone! :grrr:

NSU says something about removing battery, USB cable, charger and reconnecting so I did all that and NSU seems to of resumed but then it says the device cannot be found. I try NSU again and it detects my phone as an N80 (Windows detects it as an UNKNOWN DEVICE) and it attempts to update (downloads it) but then it just disconnects, asks me to do the battery thing again and doesn't go any futher.

I've tried ALLSORTS, everything you could possibly imagine (well near enough :P). Phoenix 2005/2006/2007, Diego 3.07/3.09, followed about 10 or-so differant tutorials, differant patches, dongle cracks, cracks, etc.

Phoenix gives me:

Programming Device initializing failed

HRESULT 0x8401226c (-2080300436)

Flash: Failed to detect prommer device. If you want to initialize operation without connection then you need to add some parameter to skip prommer detection. If USB dead flash use: BOOT_ROM_USB_FLASH.

with dead USB flashing, and without:

Product mode changing before flashing to Normal failed and the phone is also not in ADL mode

HRESULT 0x80004005 (-2147467259)
This means:
Unspecified error



Flash: Phone returned response that cannot be handled.

I have a CA-53 cable. I really need some help on this, can ANYONE help me or is it going to result in a visit to a Nokia Service Centre?

Thanks!

Try the Firmware board mate. ;)

What am I looking for exactly? I have the N80 RM-92_EMEA_PR_dp_v18.00_SW5.0719.0.2 version and trying to flash with this but I just get the errors as above.

Somebody told me that dead flashing an N80 with a DKU cable isn't possible, is that correct?

Erm I'm not sure mate. That forum is the best place to ask. I've not been involved in flashing firmware for a while. ;)

Ok, thanks for your help. Can you move my topic into the firmware forum, if you can.

Cheers.

As you wish mate. Moved from OS9.1 Discussion - Dansco

omg same hing happened to me .. but when i was patchin my n80 .. but no girl friend here it just stopped in the last 2 minutes of update and then the same as eth0izzle

now it has been in nokia service for 2 weeks and they cat fix it still :( any help wouldbe appreciated i tried diego 3.08 and phoenix 2007 and crackdongle everything thanks

@eth0izzle

so what did u finally do cuz i have the same problem with my n80,,its completely dead!!!

I'd get a new girlfriend lol (nah just kidding...)

I never flash my phone since i cant be bothered... Try flashing it in another computer/remove NSS and try again etc...

Best way is to act dumb to Nokia and say it just broke... They should fix it without problem...

There must be a way to flash it yourself, though like i said, i dont do flashing, so i dont know that much :P

try hard reset, i think:) last time i nearly make my brother's N80 can't boot normally, then after a hard reset, he used until now^^

Well, therez a solution for dead N80z, I got the same problem that is "firmware updating failed" and ma N80 was dead yesterday, I tried everything written on the blogs, forums etc but nothing happened and tonight it started again ( not by my effrots :-p ), well the solution is to revive the firmware with JAF box, if u r living in Pakistan or India, u dun have to buy all that stuff, I can guide u if u want, Thanks, take carez

So what do we have to do if we're in Pakistan/India and don't have a reliable internet connection.. Could I download a backup copy of the firmware and store it in a computer and then upgrade it offline.
