The Nokia 5230 and 5233 variants got a firmware update today, to version 21.1.004.

The 5230 and 5233 both 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 device’s OTA (Over-The-Air) feature, or if you prefer you can download Nokia’s Software Updater application to update your device 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.

Have you updated your 5230 or 5233 yet ? Notice anything new with the firmware update that we might have missed ? Do let us know in the comments y’all !
