Mr Chrbuff
What software did you use exactly to change the product code on N79?
Please advise. Need help desperately ( for 6 months now). Thx.

I managed to change the product code of my N79 using other software than NSS. Still the fm transmitter is nowhere to be seen and the Nokia Software Updater does not give me the option to reinstall. We’ll have to wait for some official upgrade from Nokia first.

Hi, I have a problem with changing the product code on my N79 via NSS. NSS doesn’t recognize the phone. Any ideas how to change the product code? I tried everything (installing-deinstalling NSS, PC Suite, connectivity cable drivers, rebooting the system etc.). NSS simply doesn’t recognize the phone. I haven’t tried to change the code via Phoenix Service Suite because it seems complicated and I’m not sure that it will change the code permanently as NSS does. I’m looking for a solution for this on Google for about a month and I haven’t found anything. Is it the only way to resolve this to wait for new version of NSS.
Thanks.

Tommy, I get the same problem. In that same forum, I believe there are other people who have noticed that NSS doesn’t detect the new phones yet, like the n85 and n79 and I think the n96. I also have the Hong Kong version, and I have called Nokia to ask whether it’s just a software problem like the N78 or if they actually took out the hardware, and the US people seemed like idiots who just read something in the website. So I’m not sure if this will work, but here’s to hoping it will.

Hi Vaibhav.
I am trying to get the FM transmitter working on an N79 in Ireland as it is a Hong Kong version.
In NSS when I click Scan or Read under Phone Info I get “Reading Values… Error!” in the botton left and no values are displayed. The phone is setup and working with Nokia PC Suite. Any ideas?

Edmond, Product codes for N79 are here:

Edmond, definately. The product codes will be different and if you use a wrong one, it could brick your phone. Googling for N79 product poduct codes should help. Do this at your own risk.

Would the product codes be different for n79? I’m just really afraid to mess up the phone since I just got it and I really love it.

Hi Vaibhav

I’d just like to know if this would work for the nokia n79 also. I just got mine, and it’s the hong kong version, which is lacking the fm transmitter…and I am quite disappointed. So I would just like to know if this would work for my phone, cause I desperately want it. Thanks a lot.

NSS changes the firmware without much fuss, to be sure it has been changed, you can connect your phone click on ‘Phone Info’ and then on ‘Scan’. Then next to the ‘Write’ button is ‘Read’, hit that.

I tried this,but after I upgraded the firmware to new version, but it doesn’t work. Do I need to do something else besides hitting “write” in NSS, like flashing it or something? Thanks!
