ReplyDeleteI have gone through the steps but at last NSU says
ReplyDelete"NO Software updates available for your device"
Can any one help me regarding this
is it possible to update n 73-1 if the phone doesnt even startup
ReplyDelete@sri i think there is no available firmware for your region...
ReplyDelete@stuntboy is it during the download? or the actual updating? If it's in the updating time and the phone shuts off, your phone will be unusable, but there must be a way, try re-flashing it, you can go to a repair shop.

Some firmware update are only available for certain region. Where are you from? If you really want the new firmware, you can change your product code to asia pacific region.

ReplyDeletelanguages : hindi , english , arabic , urdu(if available)
try this product code
ReplyDelete0539354
check the product code page for more info.
I dun think update the firmware will solve the poor picture quality at night completely. It might improved but you still cant compare picture quality of phone camera with digital camera.
did this update will make n73 more faster nd reliable?
