Nokia 9300i Communicator with final firmware Symbian version 6.27 still contains an old telephone hanging bug

Sunday, 5th September 2010

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 How to reset to factory defaults (hard reset) hanged Nokia 9300i 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.

      HI Samuel,

      Unfortunately there is no easy way if there is at all that you make a flush of the phone at home.
      I personally flushed my firmware in a phone repair little shop where a friend of mine was working he told me he used a special programming device for Nokia phones and then again he had to transfer the whole firmware over 2 cables. I don’t really know how he did it but he achieved it. The firmware phone flush, costed me like 10 EUR. So I guess it’s not worthy to take the effort to make it on your own.

      Regards,
      Georgi

      Hi,
      My firmware update was done by a phone repair specialist.
      So the firmware of 6.27 which I got I’ve never installed myself and I believe it’s dangerous to do it on your own.
      I remember some links to the software were online and were downlodable some time ago but I’ve never tested them myself. So generally speaking the 6.27 firmware update might break your phone. You better ask a specialist to do it for you and pay some minimal fee let’s say 10 EUR or smth.
      Hope this helps.
      BR
