right.... down to business....

Last month i purchased the Nokia N73 from a three mobile phone shop and opened a contract (Locked onto the three network obviously)

Now the phone has been great, crashed a few times with the camera but hey, it has so much stuff on it its okay ill let that go...

With the deal I had FREE MSN MESSENGER ANY TIME on the phone which was good as I'm always on it and it was one of the reasons why i went onto three....

the phone is the 2. version.... Thursday night I decided to update to the ME version (3.)

Now, When i used NSU it said I was unable to update at this time so someone on another forum told me to use some prog called nss and change some code on the phone which i did...

And i backed up all my files on my memory card and went ahead with the update...
It looked really good and worked ok...
but msn messenger wasn't on the phone!
When i download it from three it says Certificate error!

No I'm unable to use it

I have phoned up three and they have said they will look into it and send a courier to send it to their repair center!
Now I'm worried in case they wont repair it as i went from my own back and updated it!

Is there any way of me Downgrading the firmware at all???

Cheers
Andy
 
i think you may be out of luck...if they get a hold of it they will probably flash it back to a provider fw...i dont think you can flash it back to the fw you had before as 3 probably has their own specific features installed...at the worst you will lose the me and revert back to the original and get your messenger back
 
You bought a phone that is branded by the provider which has a specific firmware with a program on it that they provided. You did something which is probably against your contract's terms of services which is unbrand the phone by forcing a generic firmware on it. The fact that the customized program doesn't work anymore isn't surprising, and telling them what you did may not be a very good idea. The only way to put back the branded software would be to use specialized hardware that your provider probably has, but at this point I would just forget about using that program.
 
Unless they actually fire it up and fiddle around with it and cross reference the fw...if they are anything like cingular however, they are usually so ignorant they cant find the power button and might just replace it rather than go through the headache.
 
Ha ha, I don't have cingular, but know someone who had them exchange his treo for a new one (even though he never bought a treo from cingular-- haha).
