Software updater says firmware up to date - it isnt!

Hi,

I am trying to update the firmware on my 6630 - was locked to the 3
network, now unlocked and used on O2.

Current version on the phone is V 4.03.18 04-03-05 RM-1
As I understand it, there is newer firmware around that this but the
nokia software updater says that my phone is up to date.
What am I doing wrong?

Cheers

NSU works based on the original product code (ie. 3 firmware). That is
the latest version available to your phone, as 3 did not get any further
updates.

Is there any way around this?

That's not true. I have one of the oldest 6630 around and was able to
upgrade from 1.x. to the newest version available (6.03). The problem is
that the OP has a branded version, with a special firmware which only
allows upgrades to updated versions of that firmware. Best thing is to
visit the Nokia Service Center.

Which is exactly what "squelch41" said.

NSU works based on original product code ... thats true.

3 network did not get the latest 6.03 firmware .... thats true.

As squelch41 has a phone on the 3 network he can not update his phone
with NSU ... So what exactly did you not understand that makes any of my
original untrue ?

Yes, you can use another piece of software to fool it. However it is not
foolproof and you could end up with a bricked phone.

Have a look here if you want to investigate some more :

Yes it is.

Nope, you replied to squelch41. As he/she pointed out, specific operators
do not always get the latest firmware.
