Nokia 9300i Communicator with final firmware
Symbian version 6.27 still contains an old telephone hanging
bug
Earlier I've written an article tagged
How to reset to factory defaults (hard reset) hanged Nokia 9300i
device / How to format your Nokia 9300i
Therein I explained how I ended up with an unbootable telephone
after improperly shutting down my Nokia directly removing the
battery instead of pressing the Nokia front turn off button first
and then remove the battery.
Two months ago in order to get rid of the annoying nokia hanging on
boot up bug I decided to flush my firwmare.
The firmware was a flushed by a friend of me who is a Mobile
software specialist he used a special so called double cable and a
special software programmer device which is required to flush up a
certain range of mobile phones models.
Since the firmware update my Nokia was equipped with the latest
firmware version provided by Nokia corp before Nokia dropped the
support for the phone.
The latest Nokia firmware version available which was installed on
my phone was
6.27.(0)
For two months the Nokia worked just fine, however just recently
once again after a couple of different
SIM card changes with
the phone, the phone hanged the same time as described in my
earlier written article

device / How to format your Nokia 9300i
This pissed me off and I once again had to follow the necessary
described steps about formatting the Nokia 9300i Communicator
mobile device as it's explained in the up-mentioned article.
The format went fine nevertheless the newer phone firmware
version.
The format completed quite quickly once again it took in between 30
seconds and a minute to complete.
The good news after the format of my hanged Nokia phone was that it
kept the newer firmware version, even after reverting to facture
defaults with the firmware format.
Now thanksfully still my
Symbian OS version is still
6.27(0)
It's rather strange that even the newest avaialable firmware patch
for the Nokia 9300i doesn't fix such a vital boot up mobile hang
error.
Hope this info is helpful to somebody out there.
