Firmware upgrade = how do you do it?

Hello

Could someone please tell me how I can upgrade the firmware on my Nokia 6310
?
Can this be download from the internet and installed on the phone and do I
have to have a data cable for this ?
Thanks for any advice

Ian

Hi Ian,

In short, you can't update firmware by yourself, I mean you can but you
have to buy special flashing equipment and mentioned equipment is just to
expensive for personal purpose, to learn more about flashing chk out below

Well actually yes, but you need more than just a cable. Unless you have
the right equipment, which costs in excess of £200 for a quality device,
you risk wrecking the phone.

Take it to a Nokia service centre and let them take the risk, it will cost
you less.

Thanks for all the replies.

Went to a Nokia service center and they said they can do it for a tenner. so
now I know.

thanks

And since when has a 6310 been a DCT3 handset?

The 6310 is DCT4. If you don't care about the handset and want to waste
your time & money you could buy a cheap "China" flasher for about £25 that
has no support and is so buggy that you stand a very good chance of
rendering the phone useless. To do the job properly requires decent
flashing kit such as UFS.

You need an adapter, cable, and an interface, and a program with it.
You should give it up of course, and rather ask your nearest service center
and they can upgrade it for you, maybe they'll charge you 50 dollars or
something.

Around £15 in the UK. Cheaper than £200 plus for the equipment to do it
yourself.
