I had a really bad experience using Nokia Ovi Suite 2.2.0.241 to update my Nokia 6700 classic phone from v09.70 to v10.50.
This is what I did:
- Make a backup on my Nokia 6700 classic in NBF format
- Copy the NBF backup file to a safe place
- Install Nokia Ovi Suite 2.2.0.241 on a fully patched Windows 7 Ultimate x64 on a ThinkPad T61p
- Connect my Nokia 6700 classic to Ovi
- Start the process of updating the firmware of my Nokia 6700 classic
- Ask Ovi to make a backup of my Nokia 6700 classic first
- Finish updating the firmware of my Nokia 6700 classic
- Allow Ovi to restore the backup it made
- Reboot the phone, enter PIN, etc
Now the phone is blank: everything was wiped off, the backup restauration failed. Read the rest of this entry »
