    just got a new e61, with the firmware

    1.0610.04.04

    rm-89
    nokia e61


    downloaded nokias firmware updater and tried updating the firmware, but got the message that there were no updates available...

    i did a search on the web and it tells me that there is a version 2.000xxxx or something available.

    how come my fone is not picking it up?
    has anyone upgraded the firmware on an e61?


    also what does the RM89 mean?

    cheers

    You probably have Vodafone Ireland branded firmware, there may not be a version 2 variant of this yet.

    Most phone shops should be able to flash it with generic ver 2 for you

    RM-89 is the Nokia product code for the E61

    firmware for the e61 is at version 2.618.06.05. this is the latest for product code 0538289.

    on my e61 im running 1.0610.04.04 product code 0538289.

    nokia's web updater program does not have this new version available.

    does anyone know when this will be available online?

    apparently there are tons of users with the same firmware version as me with the same issue.

    rang the local nokia service centre said he couldnt update my fone as he had not got the equipment.

    i dont have the time to drive all round ireland looking for a nokia service centre to update my fone.... does anyone have an idea of when the firmware might be updated on their webupdater?

    or what other options do i have? i hear that you can flash an e61 with the jafbox and you get access to the latest firmwares with the jafbox...

    what other options do i have?

    A Nokia service centre will have the the equipment to flash, sounds like the person you spoke to didn't know what he was talking about.

    E61 can be easily flashed using JAF, I did it for all our office E61.

    if you are around Dublin or Wicklow can do it for you, takes less than 10 mins
