Nokia 6220 Classic Firmware Upgrade To 3.23

Run the Nokia Software Updater for your Nokia 6220 classic to upgrade it for version 3.23 from 3.06. After the upgrade, all my data and installed applications stayed intact. I was hoping to do a firmware update through the 6220 classic over the air, but it could not find an update.

6220 Classic
Nokia 6220 Classic updated

The most obvious change on the Nokia 6220 Classic 3.23 firmware update is the addition of Nokia Share Online on the active standby display showing the number of new comments or photos. I don’t know what other changes were brought on by the update but I’ve only played with the Nokia 6220 for a couple of days to notice anything. I will spend some more time with the Nokia 6220 Classic and give it a thorough review soon.

  • Nick Roberts

    In UK and the nokia update software doesnt see this as available. Thinks 3.06 is the latest version available ? Anyone know anything about this ?

  • Michael

    I have been searching but cannot find product code listing for 6220 classic, I would like to find a generic Euro product code, if anyone can post such a product code or refer to a listing of 6220 classic product code I would appreciate it thank you

  • dicky

    the update is for phones with this product code 0556386

  • Michael

    dicky what region/language and is that a generic or brand?

  • Nic

    My UK phone is 0564788 and it has no new firmware, 3.06 still newest :(

  • Michael

  • svenne

    Why is this update not to all phones, here in sweden it’s not possible to find any update

  • Nic

    Michael, it is a generic SIM free phone bought from eXpansys

  • zul

    helo…sorry i didnt get it…how can i get the upgrader for version 3.23??

  • sportif

    0556423 – this is EURO3 including English language
    ver 3.23

  • rno

    Someone posted the update was for phones with product code 0556386, but NSU online reports the latest version for that PC (product code) is 3.06, but 3.23.
    Anyways, does anyone have the product code for an unbranded SCANDINAVIAN version? Mine is a unlocked, but branded, 3 phone, PC is 0566675. I want to get away from the branded software. I am now running on PC 0556389, which is fine with 3.23 BUT no swedish language support (thus, no T9 texting, bummer) and the FM radio seems to not work (different hardware chips or what?) as there’s only static and no stations found. Worked fine with the 3 firmware 3.06.
    Have anyone found a list of 6220 Classic product codes? This is the only real information I have found so far on the net, and it’s not very complete… used to having very complete lists with my N73 to choose from. :)

  • rno

    When I searched today at Nokia, all the 6220 codes I tried say “Sorry there is no software available for that product code”. When I looked at the compatible phones, 6220 Classic is not listed. What’s up?

  • Svenne

    I got the Scandnavian phone (swedish) unbranded the code is also 0566675.

  • rno

    Thank you Svenne, wierd thing my (unlocked!) 3 phone has 0566675 as well. With the 3 logo at startup/shutdown in the firmware… however it was delivered UNLOCKED though.
    Btw, I was not kidding about the problem with the radio, but it was NOT due to me reflashing it, it was just some other temproary problem. It’s working fine now. Wierd.
    Regarding the updates, I found that Nokia recalled their updates for now. Link here: http://europe.nokia.com/A4577225
    Let’s hope they resolve the problems and that the 6220 Classic doesn’t become another 6280?!

  • Nic

    @rno, thanks for the info, i changed my product code just now, and got back, phone not supported error, i thought the worse :( but now i see they have pulled update :(

  • Svenne

    Why did the recalled? and when will it be available on all 6220?

  • rno

    @Svenne, I have been reading several people had problems with their 6280 stopping halfway showing the dreaded message from NSU something like “Remove then replace batteries, press Retry, then power on phone” message. At that point you might get lucky (I did!) and see the Nokia “Local Mode” screen doing the recovery bootstrap loading process. But I’ve read several reports that users have had a dead phone at this stage.
    That is what I believe myself is the reason why Nokia pulled the updates, they don’t want people breaking their phones and service centers swamped with Nokia 6220 Classic phones on warranty repair due to a technical problem with the NSU flashing process.
    The 6280 have a similar problem (with firmware 3.40 IIRC) and it was never made available another NSU update EVER… they are up to firmware 6.xx now, but you still have to leave the phone to a service center to update. The follow up model 6288 worked fine.
    Anyways, let’s hope they get the update process of 6220 Classic working again and sort out whatever the problem might be!

  • Michael

    I don’t have the statistics but there have been many phones that had the firmware removed from NSU and restored later, and those who know more can correct me but I believe the 3.23 was a 1.5 MB patch only so maybe that sets this problem apart from the 6280 issue which admittedly I know little about. Really phones that had the firmware temporarily removed from NSU is not an exclusive club

  • Michael

    this video is not a true 640 x 480 is it? it looks like 320 x 240 that has been interpolated to 640 x 480 and saved as such- what do others observe with the main camera video recording?

  • http://thenokiablog.com Mark Guim

    James from nokiacreative.com noticed what you are saying @Michael. I need to test this myself.

  • Michael

    yes I think this will make it definitively clear why this is not Nseries, the video is severely compromised, outside of that I consider the phone to be brilliant but when I know I paid as much for 6220c as I would for N82, its clear which one I should have bought so that is a lesson learned. Very unfortunate

  • Richy

    Ive also noticed very poor video quality. This is a major let down for me. I switched from a n95 to this for its size, expecting similar quality from pictures and video.
    As this is one of the main features i use i am dissapointed to say the least.
    suirely as it is the same lens as the n95/n82 etc this is mainly down to software?

  • Richy

    oh i forgot to add. i updated 2 phones to the new firmware before it was pulled and the quality of pictures taken in low light is significantly reduced compared to the original firmware. perhaps this is one of the reasons it was pulled

  • Chris

    Anyone know where these phones can be unlocked – mine is locked to 3 at the mo’

    Thanks

  • Michael

    yes and for the record I just like to add the front camera 320×240 photo may be the worst image in the history of digital photography

  • http://www.pakistanmobileprices.com Rob

    Front camera’s are never the best cameras

  • svenn

    When will they release this firmware?

  • Michael

    Don’t know about NSU version, I did get it OTA September 6 without any problem

  • cb

    I am having serious problems with connecting my 6220 to to my cars bluetooth system and am hoping this update will be available soon as I read it should improve exactly this. Frankly this is somewhat disappointing. Is there any way to manually install this update?

  • Svenne

    Now it’s up on the site but not over the air, here in sweden with tele2

  • cb

    Where do you see it? Can you manually install it via Nokia updater??
    Here in the US I cant get it over the air with AT&T as well.

  • Tózé

    Hi
    Anyone Have PRODUCT CODE with Portuguese Language?
    Thanks

  • Svenne

    I just installed it via nokia updater. Here i Sweden.

    Check on the page http://europe.nokia.com/A4577225
    to se if you can update the phone

  • cb

    I used the latest version of the Nokia software updater and still can not update my phone, says 3.06 is the latest version. But there is several versions of the 6220 classic, I have the RM-328 model, which one do you have?
    And which site/language did you use for the Nokia updater? I used the english version, dont know if they differe for different countries…

  • Roger Nordin

    I changed back to 0566675 and reflashed from the non-Swedish EUROx-firmware 3.23 I had, to the Scandinavian (0566675) 3.23 firmware so I once again have Swedish T9-support (yeah!). Worked like a charm!

  • Svenne

    Ny is also rm-328 and it’s swedish lang. Before they removed the firmware, swedish was not availale. Ny also got the name 6220c-1

  • Tózé

    Model:6220c-1
    Code Product: 0564788
    Languages: English, French, Deutsch, Italian, Espanol, Portuguese
    Firmware Version: 3.23.229.04
    Type: RM-328

    All work Fine!!

  • cb

    Still cant make it work. I have Nokia updater 1.4.56en and it doenst offer me any updates for the Nokia updater when I start it, so I am assuming I am having the latest updater software. Now when I start running it it shows me that I have a “Nokia 6220 Classic (RM-3287) Firmware version Current: 3.06 Update 3.06″ I can only reinstall the 3.06 but not upgrade. I have re-installed the Nokia updater several times, no changes. Should I try to re-install the 3.06 or where did you downlaod your Nokia updater and what version do you have?? Thanks a lot!!!

  • cb

    Sorry it should be “Nokia 6220 Classic (RM-328) Firmware version Current: 3.06 Update 3.06″ in the comment above. Perhaps I should try the swedish updater, cant be too difficult :)

  • Tózé

    Instal this cable drivers: http://europe.nokia.com/A4144937

    Use NEMESIS SOFTWARE 1.0.38.14 if you want change Product code

    Use this Nokia PC Suite: http://europe.nokia.com/A41031064

    I hope this resolve your problem!!

    DON’T FORGET UNNISTAL THE CURRENT PROGRAM’S YOU HAVE IN PC BEFORE INSTAL ALL THIS NEW ONE SOFTWARE’S!! PC SUITE+NOKIA CABLE DRIVER+NEMESIS!!

  • Nadav

    hello, i have the n95 8gb.
    i wrote the product code to the phone, but the Nokia software updater won’t find any updates.
    what should I do to make the phone update to my language?(Hebrew – 0550802)
    please help! thanks

  • Tózé

    I think is not easy find a product code to your phone different of your original one with you language… or your phone not have your language?

  • cb

    Changing the product code with the Nemesis was the solution, thanks so much!

  • Nic

    This morning (06/10/08) PC Suite tell’s me there is new phone software available, i run Nokia Software Updater (1.4.3) and it has to update itself to 1.4.6, now it find new software (still only version 3.23) for my 6220 classic, with it’s original product code.

  • Nic

    PS. The update is 152.1MB… ouch

  • Michael

    Tózé thanks for the tip that is the product code I was looking for, and download successful. yes it is 152.1 MB, I wonder is that the largest firmware of Nokia mobile phones, does anyone know

  • AsiL

    anyone can say that firmware uptade solve the problem with 640*480 resolution ?

  • Nic

    3.46 is available for some product codes, but be warned, hellocarbide hack is no longer working on this firmware version :(

  • Michael

    yes I change my unit back to the original product code 0556499, download the update 3.46 that was 148.8 MB and as before- no data or settings lost

  • klon

    Hi, can you tell me wchich languages are in euro 3 version of PC for 6220c? I need Polish, unbranded product code.

  • Jan

    hello the pc 0556499 what lang. it what for????

  • Les

    Yep just updated mine to 3.46 with no problems – thanks for all the tips guys this is the most useful forum on the net.

  • Nic

    It is APAC product code, it has English, Chinese, Indonesia and Melayu

  • Les

    Just a quick update – if you use Nemisis to change the product code to 0556499 it will update to 3.46 also it will debrand the phone so if like me you are on 3 mobile it will remove the 3 startup screen and that horrible planet 3 button plus it adds Nokia Barcode Reader and allows you to lock the phone to UTMS mode or Dual mode (which the 3.06 firware on 3 does not allow)also I’ve seen an improvement in battery life too.

  • svenne

    I was able to lock the phone in gsm,umts or dual mode in 3.06. But my phone is unbranded.

    Anyone now the changelog between 3.23 and 3.46?

    I’m still unable to upgrade to 3.46 (0556499)

  • svenne

    sorry I got the 0566675 product code and I only find 3.23

  • coopigeon

    Anybody have the product code for 3 . I want the three start up screen etc but no one seems to have posted it anywhere on the internet. Currently using an unlocked orange 6220 classic with my 3 contract card but i want to rebrand to three firmware. thanks

  • Roger Nordin

    Well, my 6220 classic was delivered by 3, and it had product code 0566675 (scandinavia). It had 3 logo at startup/shutdown, and the 3 applications, buttons, etc. However, it was not locked! Other SIM cards worked with it.

    Furthermore, I changed to another product code, upgraded, but lost native language support (I was really missing T9 support for swedish). So I changed back when the update became available for 0566675, and reflashed. But it has the Nokia standard software! No 3 software. Btw, most of the 3 supplied applications, such as MobileTV where actually just located at the memory card itself. Dunno how they got the startup/shutdown screen, and the 3 buttons in there, and I have no idea to get it back. Sorry!

  • wahizul

    I also faced the same problem with firmware 3.23.. I noticed that my setting wizard unable to define any setting for gprs, mms n others… Because of this problem, im cannot longer use my gps because it needs positioning that requires access point of my telco. I’ve tried to save/install the configuration setting from sms given by the telco but i got ‘no setting saved’ instead!!
    Can someone help me regarding my problem?
    I’ve tried to reinstall the firmware but it stuck at 23sec left to finish the installation.

  • wahizul

    I’ve successfully installed firmware 3.23 using NSU from US nokia website instead of the error connection lost when i use NSU from nokia europe website.
    But im facing such a huge trouble with this firmware. Im no longer can set my phone configuration using the setting wizard icon and because of that, my 6220c cannot be use to send multimedia msg, browsing the internet and because of the ‘cannot define access point’ thing, i can’t use the GPS too… Im so sad.. Can someone help me to solve this problem?

  • wah

    Can anyone with three firmware on their nokia 6220c tell me whether 3′s firmware maintains an active connection all the time ie the two solid double arrow symbols below the signal strength meter? And do other peoples firmwares display broken double arrow symbols?? I think 3 skype needs an active connection all the time which I’m not getting with my generic firmware- can anybody confirm

    Hy all!

    I’ have a NOKIA 6220 classic phone SW ver 03.46 language pack 05.01 modell 6220c-1 type RM-328. My phone is branded (T-mobile H)product code: 0572025. I need a unbarnded product code.

    PS. My phone is black.

    Thanks for helping me.

  • Craigster

    @zafer, You are Legend were did you get all those codes i have been searching far and wide on the tinternet for them

  • Craigster

    I purchased a nokia 6220 classic, i had it unlocked in a shop, i was fed up of the 3 software embedded in the fone so, I backed up my fone, i used Nemisis to change the fones product code
    http://nokia.nigelcoldwell.co.uk/firmware.htm
    That shows you how
    With the help of Zafer and the product codes above I Changed the product to
    0549325 EURO1 BLACK CYAN
    This comes with english installed
    Nokia software update then recodnised the 3.23 version it updated perfectly till the end
    were at the 100% mark it said phone recovery
    I unpluged the phone and turned it on cancelled the update process but my fone had upgraded to v3.23
    It got rid of the horrid 3 welcome logo
    and the 3 store music logo changed to a plain folder hwever i was unable to delete it
    I then downloaded barcode reader and it installed perfectly.
    The only difference i noticed was gps tracking is constantly on and the first of my shortcuts on standby theme had changed but was easily fixed. Appart from that it works fine.

    Nokia 6220 classic firmware 4.13 out!! Update via NSU now!

  • Carl

    Just upgrade my nokia 6620 classic to firmware 4.13 and the GPS stopped working!
    beware!

  • Michael

    I also have the 4.13, my GPS did not stop working it seems ok, Carl are you using a specific software or the included GPS Data application

  • Artoo

    @Carl, I’ve got the same problem, did you find any solution ???

  • Carl

    @Artoo, it turns out the problem was NOT related to the upgrade per say.

    In the GPS configuration of “Positioning methods” there are four possible methods. By default “Assisted GPS” and “Integrated GPS” were selected. Somehow “Network” was also selected. With it selected no GPS worked. Removing the selection and it started working.

    Funny thing, when I removed “Integrated GPS” as a possible method, the phone found the satelites much faster!

  • jinish

    @Michael,
    i too uses the 6220 c1. just upgraded to 4.13.. i have only 60 mb of phone memory free.. but i dont have any installed files in c. previously i had installed some files in C and uninstalled it.. but still the memory is not gonna improve.. any sugeestions?

  • Malene

    I have a problem with my Nokia 6220 classic.
    I´ve tried to sent and recieve textmessage to an american cellphone – but it doesnt work.
    The problem is with the phone and not the provider – when putting the sim-card in another phone like my old samsung and even another Nokia in a store it works perfectly.
    Does anyone else have this problem and/or can anyone please help me – talked to Nokia support over the phone – they arent much help.

    I have a very basic question. I'm thinking of getting a plum 6220 from the UK as they're not available in Sweden anymore but I'd like to change the language to Swedish – menues in English is fine but I want to be able to text in Swedish. How do I go about doing this? The UK phone's unlocked, if that makes a difference.

How do I go about doing this? The UK phone's unlocked, if that makes a difference.

    Any help is gratefully received!
