Flash a 3310
Hi all, just got a nokia 3310, and i have a funny feeling the software needs flashing.

Have you got the correct parallel port cable for flashing the phone. Do you know you can flash it to make it a 3315 which gives you a few extras like picture editor. I have the software and the 3310 and 3315 flash files somewhere and as soon as I can find them will post a link for you if no one else beats me to it.

Isn't it just certain revisions of the 3310 firmware that requires a "flash cable" later firmwares allow you to use the usual datacable to upgrade to 3315.
swiftyme I have sent you a PM of where to get the flashing programs and files from. |

The Carphone Warehouse will flash your phone for free if it is under 18 months old.
(This has been asked loads of times so can we please have a sticky mobile phone FAQ with info like this and on unlocking please????!!) |

Type in *#0000# and this will tell you when it was last flashed - probably by nokia so its a good chance that this was before purchase and so if under 18 months it will be free.
The Carphone Warehouse said to me they can find out - probably via the IMEI number or something. If it has a known issue with the software they should flash it for free anyway. Otherwise they charge £30 to flash it. Be warned flashing a phone yourself can be risky and if it goes wrong the warranty will be void and you will probably have to pay for it to be flashed then anyway. I would do it myself but I have read some horror stories about people who have attempted to do it and failed. |
