This is the standard/normal N70 which can be seen everywhere.
and this is the newly launched N70 Music Edition.
Well, the difference between the standard N70 and Music Edition N70 are, Music Edition (ME) comes with the all black housing, media pack consist of (Nokia AD-41 and HS-21 headset, Nokia 1GB Mobile MMC). The standard N70 package only comes with a stereo headset, and 64MB mobile MMC.
HS21 HS20 Headset
AD-41 Adapter
Nokia AD-41 is special because it has media remote control, and it also converts Nokia standard Pop-port to the standard 3.5mm audio jack which allows you to enjoy your music using your own earphone. Compared to Nokia AD-15 which comes with the 3rd Generation N-Series, Nokia AD-41 has integrated microphone and remote control.
After the basic introduction and explaination about the difference between standard N70 and Music Edition N70, now lets see how we turn our existing N70 into Music Edition N-Series.
In summary, the difference would be:
1. The black housing
2. Nokia AD-41 adapter
3. 1GB DVRSMMC
4. The latest N70 music edition firmware which comes with the Green Theme
Let us starts with the 1st item in the list, you can actually gets the full black grade AAA housing from the internet which cost you around RM30-RM50 depends on the quality. If you don't like the grade AAA housing, you can always opt for the original housing from Nokia Personal Care centres.
Then, for the Nokia AD-41 adapter you can find some dealers which sells it at the lower price than NPC. In my situation, I manage to get it at the price of RM95 inclusive postage. The NPC sells the same adapter at the price of RM145 if I still remember it correctly.
The third item, 1GB DVRSMMC (Mobile MMC) you can get it anywhere which roughly cost you around RM80-RM90.
Lastly is the more technical part where you need to flash or upgrade your existing firmware by yourself. The targetted new firmware are v5.0638.3.0.1. The older firmware would not be able to support AD-41 adapter and you won't be able to listen to the radio through AD-41 adapter. Of course the targetted firmware solves both of this problem. It also provides new theme which green in color, and now the default Music Player and Radio background would be paint according to your theme instead of the blue color background. In case you don't know how to check your firmware version, you can check it by entering *#0000# in your phone during standby mode.
Steps of upgrade your firmware
[COLOR=#ff0000]Before you start, you must clearly understand that this process is considered quite risky. If you don't follow the steps correctly, you might damage your phone severely.[/COLOR]
[LEFT]1. Get NNS (Nemesis Service Suite Beta) from this websites http://www.b-phreaks.co.uk/software.htm (Scroll to the bottom most and there's a zip file sized around 4.75MB)
direct link is this http://www.b-phreaks.co.uk/files/NSS/NSS10387.zip
or
http://www.uploading.com/files/ZKT8B68U/NSS10387.zip.html
2. After finish download it, install the NSS into your computer. During installation, you would be prompt to choose the service which you want to used. In this case, choose Virtual USB Devices[/LEFT]
[LEFT]3. Then finish the installation, and now download the Nokia Sofware Updater from the Nokia Official Websites. http://www.nokia.co.uk/A4226014 Choose your model which is N70.
4. After finish download, install the Updater as well.
5. Connect your phone to your PC. In this case makes sure you had your PC-Suite installed. Makes sure your cable connection is stable and don't touch your cable anymore unless instructed. Cable that you can use are : CA-51 which originally bundled in N70 package, or you DKU2 which tend to be more stable.
6. After your phone is connected to your pc, starts the NSS. You can see theres a discovery icon at right top corner there. Click it to let NSS detect device information. After those information generated, click on phone info (which is the second icon from left). Key in the product code and check the enable checkbox. The product key varies depends on what kind of firmware you wish to update. If you want pure Music Edition firmware which not support chinese language, enter your product code (0543026) or (0543027). If you need chinese language support, I suggest you update to the latest standard N70 firmware. The product code would be (0524115) or (0524116).

[COLOR=#cc66cc]added on 17Dec2006[/COLOR][/LEFT]
[LEFT]7. After entered your product code, click write and wait it updates complete, then click on read button to verify your product code again.
[COLOR=#cc66cc]* Some people having problem to verify the product code by click on the read button. Don't worry, you can verify it by click on the FLASH button, then click on the scan button at the very next tab. It can reveal your new product code too.

Then exit the NSS, and open the NSU.
8. Follow the instructions given inside the NSU closely and do not touch the cable until whole update process is completed. [/LEFT]
[CENTER][LEFT]9. After finish the update, your phone now is N70 Music Edition or Compatible. You would notice theres two extra theme which is the Green theme or the Red theme. Both are exclusively designed for Music Edition series.
In the end, here you are sucessfully turn your normal N70 into a music series N70. Enjoy yaaro..

Very useful post. Keep up the good work.
I think this method can be used to turn normal N series fons to Music Edition fons if their corresponding ROM is available. Isn't it?
If so can u post d codes for all their firmwares?
Posted by amanno1
I changed my n70 to the me last year.I changed it back a few weeks later.
Posted by scottt
Much the same method as changing a normal N73 to a ME version. Very very easy tbh

I want the black housing for my N70...that whole changing of the firmware seems a bit risky.
Posted by amanno1

meh not really that risky, the software itself is offical nokia software. your just using the 3rd party app to change the product code. and if things go wrong,just chang the product code back to the original and flash it again.
its probably the same process nokia do to make the, n73 standard, music,and internet edition etc. they just dont want you to do it as theyd sell less handset!

Ok I've used NSS to change my product code to the pid listed for Australia, Euro-1, MEA1, MEA2, and for each one of these pids I have tried, Nokia Software Updater says my N70 is up to date. Each time I change pid I check NSS (click FLASH, then scan) and it shows the updated pid. What am I doing wrong?
Posted by Logan1981
Just to add to this thread, I've just changed my N70 to the N70 ME and it was dead easy to do. Just follow the above steps and you really, really can't fudge your phone up. Even the Nokia Software Updater is fool proof to some extent.
Just waiting for my genuine N70 black case to arrive from Hong Kong
Posted by MindStorm
I followed that instruction and upgraded my old n70 to N70 ME,
however I'm really unsure that it is really upgraded. Yes I do have the green and red ME-theme, but I can't find any equalizer settings or such things.
How do I know that my n70 REALLY is upgraded properly? Is there any visual settings in the menues I should look for?
Also, my old apps seems to work fine on it, but they shouldn't? ISnt N70 ME a totally newer version of the OS with the 3rd edition? Or?

sorry!

I have the same problem. Please help. My phone has that awful Orange software an I have to get rid of it. CPH is asking for 60 bucks to do it....

I couldn't get to read the pid after changing it, so I just gave the update a go and it updated my Vodafone N70 to the N70 Music Edition - Unbranded! Cooool!!
I like.
Posted by kwabs2006
pretty cool info. i'ma try on my N70 when i get it
Posted by max_wedge
seems the only real diff is the music button (what's usually the multimedia button, and is configurable, is now the music button andcan't be customised to anything else!)
Apart from the nicer themes, it's a bit of a back step
Still, it unbranded my phone in the process and that's ALL GOOD
Posted by Winger
i did the process but once i restored the memory card it turned back into vodafone firmware but music edition. its really pee'd me off! the sim card i was planning to use doesn't work!
Posted by belialwafu
my sis is planing to buy a n70 me she said the only thing that changed is the mmc 1gig black theme...what if we could only buy a bluetooth headset and a 1gig mmc. looks better
Posted by rOfLz
after update to new version my front camera is not working help me with this thanks
Posted by canester
I have done all the above mentioned instructions. but what happens with me is I get an error message when i use the NSS when i try to flash the product id. after that It says on the pc suite when i try to upgrade that my fone is not supported.
