Nokia 5800 Firmware Update

Steve059

I am trying to update my Nokia 5800’s firmware from v51.0.006 to the current v60.0.003.

I have discovered Nokia now do this by "Firmware Over The Air" (FOTA).

FOTA sounds like a good idea, as the phones are automatically updated. Most users probably don't have to know that they can do this, leave alone know how to actually do it.

However, manually updating my phone is proving to be more of a PITA than FOTA.

You now can't get the very latest version using Nokia Suite or Nokia Software Updater, because the latest version available doesn't enable the phone for FOTA. Catch-22.

You need a server profile There’s a template one on the phone, but you need to edit it to your requirements. I think that I've nearly managed to find the necessary settings to do this, with a couple of exceptions.

Here’s what I’ve got so far ...

Server name = Nokia
Server ID = Nokia
Server password = firmupservpass
Access point = [My wireless access point]
Host address = https://dms.update.nokia.com/dms/omadm
Port = 443
User name = nokiams
Password = nokiamspass
Allow configuration = Yes
Network authentication = No

But, when I try to go Back and save this, I get the message, “Some settings are compulsory and must be defined. Server profile not saved. Exit anyway?”.

This seems to be because there is yet another setting which must be defined. If you set Network Authentication to Yes, two more settings appear, Network User Name and Network Password. It seems that Network User Name needs to be defined, even if Network Authentication is set to No, and it isn’t displayed.

I now have ...

Network authentication = Yes
Network user name = Must be defined
Network password = ++++

So, I have just two questions for anyone with a Nokia 5800 running v60.0.003 firmware. What’s the Network User Name? What’s the Network Password?

I'm on ASDA Mobile, aka Vodafone.
