Hi - to you wiseguys, I have used NSS on my Vodafone branded Nokia N95 8GB to get another product code. A plus would be if the "Internet Telephone" suddenly would appear as well. As I understand I need to upgrade my firmware (mine is V 15.0.015) in order for the new product code to work (and perhaps also the Internet Telephone to appear?) but there is no new update when I use Nokia Software Upgrader. Is there at all any "explain-like-I-am-a-3-year-old" guidance out there on this?
Thanx guys.

Okay guys, I knew from the date of the post that it's an old hack. However, the implications are new. For example, the settings wizard makes an appearance. Which makes the SIMable unlock an even easier affair. Incidentally, trying to use NSS to unlock a Nokia is pointless since SIMable will break rhe lock but not your warranty. Incidentally, if you want to save yourself time unlocking Nokias, backup an unlocked Nokia to a memory card. Put that in a handset you want to jailbreak and then restore. All those missing apps should reappear.

No, sorry mark, network lock is something else entirely!

I haven't found an easy way of doing that with software. Although you can always give Simable a try.

Lots of us have been using NSS for years to debrand Nokias... :)
Since getting my first n-series phone, I've used nss to debrand about 20 of my friends phones so they get the generic Nokia firmware. Works a treat. :)

Glad to be of service :-D

Blimey i used this program to change the branding on my orange phone sometime last year 'cos Orange would only let me update to v13 of the software when v21 (with various performance enhancements) appeared.. iir it didn't take much googling to find! very cool tho took seconds to do. unlocking is another story entirely tho!

Hi,

Is this tool useful to break the network lock?

This hack's been kicking around for many moons, try googling 'N80 to N80i upgrade. I updated the firmware on an N80 to the N80i (Internet edition) for similar reasons a good year ago. 

Get with it guys !

Just did this on my N82 the other day to get the latest firmware, as O2 haven't provided an upgraded firmware and the latest vanilla Nokia one adds geotagging as well as fixing a few bugs.

Works like a charm although I can confirm it takes a good long while (it took at least 10 minutes to download the new firmware.) I just left the phone plugged in to the charger whilst it went.

Newer nokia phones will even keep the settings too so no need to even restore from the memory card.

One thing I did find though, I needed to install an older version of the nokia updater to get NSS working, the newest versions drivers seemed not to work with NSS.

Some of us have been using NSS for years to debrand nokias .

Most users of the afore mentioned handset have been using this application for some time now as a way of 'de-branding' thier handset and enabling newer funtionallity. (Flash lite 3 streaming anyone??. )
You may have problems if you need to repair your phone and take it back to your Network provider, but the advantages far outweigh the cons, esp if your network provider is sluggish in releasing branded S/W for your phone.
