The Nokia N97 gets a Firmware Update to v30.0.016

   

 

Not to be left out, like it’s smaller brother, the Original Nokia N97 got a firmware update today, to version 30.0.016. It’s previous firmware was v21.0.102. Thanks to DailyMobile for the tip.

The N97 does have UDP (User Data Preservation), so while its always a good idea to backup all your data before the firmware update, none of your programs or data should be affected with the update.

Remember you can update using the N97’s OTA (Over-The-Air) feature, or if you prefer you can downloadNokia’s Software Updater application to update your N97 on your windows PC. Right now the Update seems to be only available via NSU.

(Note: From what we’ve heard, the Firmware update is only available via NSU right now (not Ovi Suite) and sometimes takes a couple days before it gets OTA)

If there’s no new firmware detected for your device yet, it might be because it hasnt reached your region product code yet, or maybe your device is carrier branded. It should roll out to all product codes eventually though.

No Official Changelog yet. We’ll update this post when we find one.

Update: Apparently there are reports of this firmware update being pulled. Strange thing to happen. However, if you did manage to get the update, do let us know how it went along!

Have you updated your N97 yet ? Notice anything new with the firmware update that we might have missed ? Do let us know in the comments y’all !
