Thanks guys, Mine seems to have 5.51 08-07-03.

Just a couple more questions if I may.

1, Is it possible to flash the phone from my PC ?

2, Whatsoftware do I need?

3, Where can I download the firmware files from, if at all ?

Thanks

Yes.

You'll need a bit more than a cable and software for a DCT4 handset.  If you
want to do it on the cheap (and stand a 50:50 chance of rendering the
handset fubar) you could use a cheap "China" flasher.  If you want to do it
right you'll need something along the lines of UFS.  If you want to know
what UFS is have a look at the GSM-Solutions site in my sig (but buying UFS
for one phone is rather ineffective cost wise).

From the support site of whatever flashing solution you go with.

Officially, a Nokia Service Centre.  Otherwise, we or any of the regulars
here with unlocking business' can do it for you.

That should be *#0000#

I've got version 5.52 which is pretty much the final, fixed firmware. There
is a version 7 but I'm not sure what it does - anybody?

Cheers, Benedict

Ooops.  You're quite right, must remember not to post when half asleep.

Version 7.0 appears to be the final release for the 6310i.  Any versions
lower than 5.51 should be upgraded if you're planning to use BlueTooth, but
as far as I can tell, there appear to be very few differences beyond that
point.

I have two 6310i's in daily use, one has 5.50 and one has 5.51, I can't
remember which is which without looking but both have no problems using a
CK-1W car kit.

From what I remember (and it's some time ago now), many of the BlueTooth
problems were security based.  The 6310i was Nokia's development handset for
BlueTooth for a long time, but that mantle appears to have been passed to
the 6230 now.

I have 5.60, which was released to fix a security hole in the Bluetooth
implementation. I wouldn't advise using anything earlier (not if you ever
use Bluetooth, anyway).

No idea ...

Cheers,
Daniel.
