HOW TO: Update your firmware to the latest GENERIC FW using the Nokia Software Updater tool

Upgrade your firmware to a Nokia original version
(without your operator’s personalization) with NSU
(Nokia Software Update – the official Nokia program).

NSU reads the product code of your phone and it searches it’s database for a newer version of the corresponding firmware in order to upgrade it. This is why you will need to change the product code of your phone into a non-branded product code, before running NSU.

Download the NSS software in order to change the phone’s product code.
This is a shareware program that you can download on the site of its author here :

After that, download the following program: gsm-magic

(this is not a crack, but a program that allows the activation of any disabled options on no matter what program).
And finally, download NSU here:

NOW WE CAN BEGIN:
Install NSS
Install NSU
Connect your phone and wait for Windows to install the drivers.
Open NSS and click on “Scan for new device” on the right-upper part of the window
Click on the icon « Phone info »
Click on “Scan”
Open « gsm-magic » without closing NSS, then push the button « Enable » of “gsm-magic”.

As you can see, now you can change the product code (on the right of the « phone info »
window of NSS). Type the product code and then mark the case “Enable”.
Now press “Write”, and your phone’s product code will be changed
(you might think that nothing happened, because the phone is still in normal mode, and the changing of the product code only takes a couple of seconds, but don’t worry, the product code changed !).
Close NSS and “gsm-magic” and you can proceed now with the NSU flashing.
When the flashing with NSU is over, start-up your phone and you’ll have the pleasant surprise that your phone’s firmware is the latest Nokia non-branded firmware in date!
