Upgrade Firmware Nokia N73 To Nokia N73 Music Edition

If you already own the Nokia N73, you can update the firmware to the Music Edition by using the Nokia Software Update with a little trick. Retailers are just receiving the Nokia N73 Music Edition as this how-to is published, but you do not have to buy the new Nokia N73 Music Edition to take advantage of the new features. Read on to find out how to update the firmware.

Before you decide to update your Nokia N73 to the Music Edition, know that this may void your warranty and you run the risk of breaking your phone, like Darla. Is it worth taking the risk? Find out first what to expect in the new Nokia N73 Music Edition:

1. Idle Screen with new clock.
2. New Main Menu Music Icon.

3. New Default Themes.
4. New Music Player with Album Art.
5. Music Player audio settings (Stereo widening is super cool!!!)

6. Music Player Visualization - Oscilloscope


7. Music Player Visualization - Spectrum
8. Firmware Version: 3.0638.0.0.30

Now that you’ve seen how the Nokia N73 Music Edition differs from the standard Nokia N73, do you still want to do it? If so, this is how to update the firmware:

Download and install: Nemesis Service Suite and the latest Nokia Software Update.

  1. Connect your phone and wait for Windows to install the drivers.
  2. Open Nemesis Service Suite and click “Scan for new device” on the right-upper part of the window
  3. Click on the icon “Phone info”
  4. Click on “Scan”
  5. Change the product code to 0539343 and mark the case “Enable”.
  6. Press “Write”, and your phone’s product code will be changed (you might think that nothing happened, because the phone is still in normal mode, and the changing of the product code only takes a couple of seconds, but don’t worry, the product code changed !).
  7. Close Nemesis Service Suite and run the Nokia Software Update.
  8. Make sure not to touch the cable or the phone while your phone is updating or else you will break it!
  9. That’s it! When you restart your phone, it should now be the Nokia N73 Music Edition.
I just want to point out how risky this can be considering the future:
Say that you choose to change the product code to something else and then Nokia later decide to take the current product code away from NSU since they notice many people are changing this code….what will you do then if your phone goes dead?

You can no longer update the phone via NSU and if you turn to a Nokia servicepoint they will notice that your product code in the phone is different compare to the one on the label on the backside of the phone…this means that they most probably will deny to give you service since you have done something with the phone that isn´t allowed.

Next step, by a new phone !
I would say, very risky.

I found this list to update to what u want U cant go back to the earlier version without Flushing.

This is the EMEA version of the regular N73:

0527009 Euro 1
0529568 France
0529569 Alps

Couple of tips :

1) Ensure that your phone is in general profile
2) DONOT touch the phone/cable while update is going on
3) Keep the charger plugged in all the time
4) Take a backup of all the data
5) Do the backup on either on Saturday or Sunday night . This is because in case it becomes a brick u can go down to Mobile repair shop and get it reflashed :).
6) In case the update failed.. KEEP RETRYING..
7) If something is not working properly after the update do an update again.

Network Burst Hack / Trick

You Probably heard about “Burstable bandwidth” or “Network Burst” if not then Let me tell you about it.This feature mostly isn’t available for Normal Home Users but plans like Leased Line. This feature ensures that you can get a Burst in the Network when the Traffic or the Load over the network is too much. That means that the current bandwidth can be so called “OverClocked” or “SuperCharged” with more 2way Bandwidth (Incoming as well as Gigged up Outgoing Bandwidth).
So why is this trick not so famous one around you may ask me.Here is the reason. First of all you need to comply to a few conditions as given below.

* You have to be a Broadband User Using xDSL (ADSL etc) / Cable / NOP (Net On Cable) .
* Your ISP should be using Network Equipements of “Cyberoam INC” (excludes Datacard , BSNL , WLL users ).
* You should be Using “Cybroam Client” as your Network Manager (This should be provided by your ISP).

Screenshot of “Cyberoam Client”


Now if you fullfill all of the above mentioned Points then this Trick will work for you.
Now in the Older Versions of Cyberoam Client there was a Security loophole (Ver 1.3.1.1) , this loophole let us do the Bandwidth Boosting.

But how can we do this ?
Here is the Logic - Inside the Network we are Connected to the Gateway , But the Thing is that In the older version Gateway’s Network managing softwares aren’t so good at monitoring and hogging bandwidth so the management part’s job is left on the Cyberoam Client.

And this is how it works

1 > The PC Starts the Cyberoam Client.
2 > Cyberoam Client Tried to Fetch the Data Regarding the Bandwidth the User Should get from the Server.
3 > The Server returns the Bandwidth Information after a Successfull validation of User’s Login Info.
4 > The Cyberoam Client Starts an Internet Connection and manages the Bandwidth (Both Incoming and Outgoing) so that we can’t exceed the Bandwidth limit we are allocated with.

So how are we gonna do network burst ?
A very simple answer , We need a trick that will let the net connection be consistenly live and the Management of Bandwidth shouldn’t be there.To do this we simply have to make the Client crash and have to keep the connection alive and really busy so that the “Logout” command doesn’t reach the Server and so we will be able to do this in a Simpler way.
Overall explanation of the Trick , Start a connection , Start a file download to fill up the Multiple Connection Bandwidth at highest then crash the Bandwidth Manager and the Download Speed should be reaching at its highest levels now.
This happens because as soon as we crash the Client the Client tries to Send a “Logout” command over the network , but due to heavy traffic (Full usage and consistency of Bandwidth) the Response is Slow so eventually the Client Crashes due to a Hung Up condition and losses control over the Bandwidth and we can now use the Bandwidth to the Full extent as we can. Here is a Pictorial Tutorial for that.
First off all i want to clarify that the Time i Compiled this Article i had a 128Kbps Connection .
Screenshot As given Below is of www.speedtest.net

You should Note that i posses a 128 KBPS Plan in which the maximum reachable limit is 16 Kilobytes per seconds so technically i can’t exceed this limit of 16 kilobytes per seconds
To do this trick after you start your PC , Login to Cyberoam Network Manager ,
Start uTorrent and download a torrent file from the net and allocate the space for that torrent file and start downloading , now as i already did that i am gonna skip a few steps.


Now i am gonna show you the uTorrent window , in which i am currently downloading a file which is more than 900 MB , now look at that horrible speed here , its around 10 kbps , So how about a gigged up speeds here , ok.
Now there are two ways to Crash the client.

1 > End / Kill the Task From “TaskManager”

2 > Exit the Client When Highly Packed Bandwidth downloades are going on/
We are gonna perform a Simple “Exit” here and that should be enough if Heavy Downloads are going on.
So after you are Started with the uTorrent Job. Just Right Click on the “CyberoamClient” icon and Select “Exit” as shown above.
Now carefully look at the Download speed of the Torrents , They would have increased.
Mine Increased like this sequence.

After that got changes and increase in Speeds like these given Below

And even after applying the Same trick as above i was able to download Open Solaris November 2008 Edition of 687MB under 20 Mins with avaerage speeds like “487 kbps”.


I use this trick to download much bigger files (Mostly Torrents which are heavily seeded).
Note : This trick will work on Connections which are active now.Due Net disconnection no new connection request can reach the servers however Older and Consistent connections will persists.Works with Bit-Torrent Clients , IMs , Download Managers like IDM , FlashGot , FDM etc.
If you still got any questions regarding this Trick the do feel to Post Below. Thanx

Install Windows Vista / 7 Using USB Flash Drive

This guide works 100% for Vista & Windows 7 unlike most of the guides out there. I have seen many sites/blogs that have “Install Vista from USB guide” but either with incomplete steps or not working guide. I have also seen some guides that don’t’ use proper commands in this guide. After spending many hours I have come up with this 100% working guide.

I just did this method on one of my friends machine and installed the new Windows 7 BETA. The main advantage is that by using USB drive you will be able to install Windows 7/Vista in just 15 minutes. You can also use this bootable USB drive on friend’s computer who doesn’t have a DVD optical drive.

The method is very simple and you can use without any hassles. Needless to say that your motherboard should support USB Boot feature to make use of the bootable USB drive.

Requirements:

  • USB Flash Drive (Minimum 4GB)
  • Windows 7 or Vista installation files.
How to make a Bootable USB :

Having a bootable USB is very essential, especially if you are a Netbook user. Using bootable USB to install an operating system (OS) not only makes the installation faster, but also saves a DVD.

Creating or using an USB drive to install Windows operating systems is very easy if you follow the below mentioned steps.

1. Insert your USB stick to the system and backup all the data from the USB as we are going to format the USB to make it as bootable.

Now here is a catch. Every tutorial on the internet requires you to have Windows Vista / 7 Installed to complete the steps. So i started Googling and I finally got this working on XP also after 7 hours of struggle and found out it was actually pretty simple.

So I have divided the first few steps for Windows XP and Vista / 7 users :

For Windows XP Users:

If you are on Windows XP follow the steps below :

2. Download the zip file: http://www.911cd.net/forums//index.php?s=931703fec95c83bf4d634a2cfbeeff05&act=attach&type=post&id=1054
3. Run USB_MultiBoot_10.cmd. Press any key.
4. Choose option 2 i.e "H". In the windows, choose NTFS and format, not quick format. Follow this guide from step 5 and forward.

For Windows Vista & Windows 7 Users:

If you are on Windows Vista or Windows Seven follow the steps below :

2. Open Command Prompt with admin rights. Use any of the below methods to open Command Prompt with admin rights.
  1. Type cmd in Start menu search box and hit Ctrl+ Shift+ Enter.
  2. Go to Start menu > All programs > Accessories, right click on Command Prompt and select Run as administrator.

3. You need to know about the USB drive a little bit. Type in the following commands in the command prompt:

First type DISKPART and hit enter to see the below message.

Next type LIST DISK command and note down the Disk number (ex: Disk 1) of your USB flash drive. In the below screenshot my Flash Drive Disk no is Disk 1.

4. Next type all the below commands one by one. Here I assume that your disk drive no is “Disk 1”.If you have Disk 2 as your USB flash drive then use Disk 2.Refer the above step to confirm it.

So below are the commands you need to type and execute one by one:

SELECT DISK 1

CLEAN

CREATE PARTITION PRIMARY

SELECT PARTITION 1

ACTIVE

FORMAT FS=NTFS

(Format process may take few seconds)

ASSIGN

EXIT

Don’t close the command prompt as we need to execute one more command at the next step. Just minimize it.

Common Steps for Windows XP and Vista / 7 Users :

5. Insert your Windows DVD or CD / Any Other Bootable CD or DVD in the optical drive and note down the drive letter of the optical drive and USB media. Here I use “D” as my optical (DVD) drive letter and “H” as my USB drive letter.

6. Go back to command prompt and execute the following commands:

D:CD BOOT and hit enter. Where “D” is your DVD drive letter.
CD BOOT and hit enter to see the below message.
BOOTSECT.EXE/NT60 H:

(Where “H” is your USB drive letter)

7. Copy Windows DVD contents to USB i.e. copy all files from Windows DVD and paste them to USB.

You are done with your bootable USB. You can now use this bootable USB as bootable DVD on any computer that comes with USB boot feature (most of the current motherboards support this feature).
