Whenusing forks/offshoots/vendor-specific builds that are "based on OpenWrt", there may be many differences compared to the official versions (hosted by OpenWrt.org). Some of these customizations may fundamentally change the way that OpenWrt works. You might need help from people with specific/specialized knowledge about the firmware you are using, so it is possible that advice you get here may not be useful.
firmware for the device in question is unsupported by OpenWRT, and can only be used on carriers that sell the device. It would have to be ported to run on openwrt specifically however it is based on an old mip soc.
A long time ago, (I felt like) I was the coolest kid on the block, with my heavily modified Nokia 3310. A thriving community existed with the purpose of reverse engineering Nokia DCT3 phone firmwares, creating from the simplest mods like changing a few bitmaps to writing a full alternative open source firmware, aka Project MADos. Yes, I was cooking ROMs" before it was cool.
As the years passed, everyone got new phones and these projects got abandoned. While I was writing this article and working on my project, I looked back at the iconic websites of that era to find myself in a ghost city full of dilapidated buildings.
blacksphere.tk is now just a black page.
nokiafree.org attempted to renew itself providing recent Nokia news, but got abandoned early this year (but still kept the awesome forum archive).
g3gg0.de, the website of one of the legendary hackers that put a lot of effort on the reverse engineering, lost a lot of the old content in an update and stopped updating his blog in 2013. Most of the links point to dead websites, and it's getting harder to find copies of the tools and firmware images. I'll upload some later.
and the PPM is what I'm looking for: it stores all the localization data (strings and operator list), fonts, ringtones and bimaps. PPMEdit is a nice piece of software to edit and export that data.
Is there any published history that shows when new firmware versions were released? I have been experiencing unusual instability for a week or two now and I can see version is: 1.2204.01.0101 and think this might have been released quite recently.
Second, this seems to be always triggered when I visit Facebook, crazy but true it seems. It can be up and working fine for hours then if I visit
facebook.com the connection goes pretty quickly and we get another reboot.

If I could reinstall the previous firmware I could quickly prove if that is the cause, this would be good for me and for Nokia and others but this device is poor, very inflexible and very weak in terms of its metrics and error reporting.
If these people designed this well it would be easy to tell the difference between a firmware initiated reboot/bug and the simple loss of contact with the remote 5G tower/infrastructure, it should be easy to distinguish these but the design is crap.
I've developed an issue since the last Android 10 OS update where the phone doesn't charge unless it's in 'USB Controlled by device' mode, which it usually fails to switch to. I'd like to try flashing stock firmware to it, as resetting to factory default didn't fix the issue.
I've tried downloading a stock firmware file and using the recovery mode option to install from SD card, but alas the timestamp on the file was older than the current OS, and so it refused to downgrade.
Since I'm a complete newbie to the android hacking world, I'm looking for an easy to understand solution to install a fresh stock firmware / ROM (not sure what the nomenclature difference is) or failing that, backing up the existing firmware and re-installing that. Naturally, the phone isn't rooted nor is the bootloader unlocked etc, nor do I currently know how to do those things.
All the following Nokia Stock ROM (zip file) contains the original Nokia USB Driver, Flash Tool, and the Firmware File. After Downloading the firmware, follow the instruction manual shipped with the firmware to flash or install firmware on mobile.
While in general third-party firmware (Custom ROM) has system bugs and stability issues. In this case, you may experience battery issues, network issues, camera issues, missing features, lags, overheating, slow performance, and many more. But whenever you switch to Stock ROM, you can quickly fix them all.
[*] After flashing (installing) the Nokia Stock ROM on your device, you may need to flash (install) the IMEI using the IMEI tool provided with the firmware file. If you are going to flash the IMEI, then flash the Original IMEI that comes with your device.
[*] Request Firmware: If you are looking for any specific firmware that is not listed above, you can request it through the comment box below (do not request firmware through the contact page, or else it will be ignored).
Nokia firmware really suck!! Im already download the latest firmare but my N70 doesnt perform like i hope..
I doesnt see any difference with oldest version..
Hopefully someone can tell me how to downgrade my firmare =(
Hi, been trying to figure out how to reset my n70 and have been trying the dial/*/3/power combo many times, to no avail. how long should i keep them pressed down before i see a formatting screen? thanks!
1. Backup all your contacts, etc. by using the Nokia PC Suite Backup feature (Nokia Content Copier). I always like to have double-backups (especially since last time!) so backup your contacts to memory card using your phone as well.
3. Connect your fully-charged Nokia N95 via USB cable to your computer. Run Nemesis Service Suite and click on the magnifying glass at the top-right of the screen. This will search for connected devices.
5. Click on the Read icon on the right-hand side of the screen to bring up details about the firmware on your N95. Press the radio button next to Product Code and change the numbers in the box to 0536062. Press the Write button.
6. To check that you have changed the product code successfully, disconnect your N95, reconnect it and then go through steps 3 and 4 again. You should see 0536062 in the box where you changed it.
Ciao Mastro, ho trovato questo tuo blog girando.
Mi interesserebbe sapere che interfaccia hai per flashare il nokia 3310.
Avevo fatto nel 2014 un Dejan con la porta parallela ma non v piu e non riesco piu a connetterlo.
Mi daresti una mano? Grazie :)
The E6 may look a bit diminutive in today's world of monster screens, but it's still a popular concept in some circles. Not least chez Litchfield, which is why, when my E6 started playing up (after one app install too many!), I decided on a change and went looking for custom firmwares. Here's my report on the appallingly lengthily named 'Nokia E6-00 v3 - 111.140.58 -Belle Refresh Enhanced by Luna Updated' - what does it offer, over and above the final official Nokia firmware, how did the flashing go and how well does it work in practice?
Quite a list, and I'll focus on many of these below. Note that, normally, theme effects are off by default on E6 firmware, because the animations don't run smoothly due to the higher resolution screen. However, theme effects are fast enough on the E6 with this firmware, at least they are after the first (caching) load for each.
Step 1 was to grab the firmware files as a '7zip' archive from mediafire, following the link on 'Nokia E6-00 v3 - 111.140.58 -Belle Refresh Enhanced by Luna Updated'. As usual, if you do the same, watch out for misleading 'download' links and dodgy ads on these download servers.
I also needed Phoenix 2011 - I'll leave you to source this on your own if you copy me, since it's not supposed to be in user hands. All About Symbian takes no responsibility for any damage you may do to your phone, or indeed to your Windows PC. Delving into the world of custom firmwares is officially frowned upon by Nokia, but seems to be overlooked provided that all parties recognise that all warranties are instantly voided.
With the firmware moved into a RM-609 (the product code of the E6) folder inside /Nokia/Phoenix/Products, start up Phonenix in the usual way, I connected up my E6 (turned on) and picked the relevant USB connection from the drop down list. I also needed to 'Scan product' on the menu.
I used 'Firmware update' from the 'Flashing' menu and then tapped on '...' to open up the product code firmware files. In this case, we should see 'Euro_silver' - and no, this firmware isn't available for languages other than English and French. The SW version shown is Belle Refresh, the same as the last official E6 firmware build.
The E6 then restarted and then we're in business. I headed for 'SW update' first, to see what Nokia was offering me, over and above this 'Belle Refresh Enhanced' firmware. I still want most of this, but note that I used the options menu to 'select items' and then deselected 'Microsoft Apps 2.01', since this was part of the very streamlining option that this firmware embraced in the first place:
Having applied these updates (and restarted, again), I noticed one thing if I left the phone for more than a minute or two - the 'Big Clock' screen saver is enabled by default. Don't worry, it only stays on for a minute or so (to save power), but is rather cool to see on a LED-backlit screen nevertheless:
