Well this is the same problem I was dealing with, when I tried to update my firmware to I was really very upset with this one dint knew what to do, then one of my friend asked me y I don’t try to re install the previous version again so what I did was the same I did it exactly in that way I installed it again and it’s working fine now so now what I have thought it not to go with the latest version stick to this and enjoy the phone without any problems to deal with. I think you should do the same.

I have also installed it and its working fine with me I suppose you must have not installed it completely there might be some problem in your connection and your software updating must be corrupted and that is the reason why you are having this problem I think you should try reinstalling it, well I think you must have had a copy of your back up in your memory card, you would be having it in your phone memory and that’s why it would have been disappeared.

I don’t know why you are having this problem this is running fine with many people I have been in contact with. I to think it must be corrupted due to some reason and that’s why it is showing the problem. Well on problem with that I think you need to contact your nokia center they would really help you out with this or yes you can also try to re install it or get back the previous version, I hope it would be helping you out.

Ok this is the same problem which my friend was having but the backup file wasn’t deleted the media files and all was showing error what we did if formatted the memory card from pc and inserted it again then the card was working fine and then we inserted more songs in the card and everything went fine contacts wasn’t deleted don’t know why you are getting the problem with this message thing I think just try by switching of your cell phone remove the battery and then re insert it I think this would help you in sorting the messaged problem. All the best

First of all i dont think there is any such option in nokia C3-00 to download/install any specific version of firmware. It is just available in very rare models. So, you will only need to update the phone to the latest 08.63. BTW. What is the problem you facing while updating to the same ?

the problem i m facing is that after downloading update in nokia software update it starts installing it and there after when only 10 seconds are left(as shown in nokia software update) it says connection lost with device and reconnect and try again. i tried this 4 times but it gave same warning again. But when i checked my phone using *#0000# it displays 8.63 (which is latest) instead of 4.2(earlier). which means my phone is updated but not fully. when i go to conversation it displays 8 messages without content and user who sent them and they dont get delete, there are such 1 message in inbox and 7 in sent items.

it says connection lost with device and reconnect and try again. i tried this 4 times but it gave same warning again.

That is the culprit. If am not wrong you are doing it from your PC's Software Updater Application, right ? If yes, than when it starts downloading the firmware, you get an NOTE displayed on the screen saying something like "During the process pc suite will show messages like your mobile is disconnected or so, dont panic and dont disconnect the cable". Hope you saw that. Friend, that is the process of updating the device. After downloading, the updater use to install the firmware on the device and hence you get notification on the taskbar that device is diconnected. But dont remove it. Wait for some minutes. It will be done successfully.

thx, i did it without removing it and it finally said update successful. but still bugs like invisible conversation message exist because they are failure of nokia to build bug free update like always
