I had the same problem with a 'dead' P990 - just flashing the screen. Had to remove the battery (or you can keep the on/off switch pressed for 10/15 seconds). Replace the battery and try again. It took 3 attempts but managed to flash it and it came back to life

Still no luck, meter stop just about halfway then get the error (see attached pic)

@Muzikfreakah
delete all SE COM ports (Control Panel, Hardware Decives, etc), and try the whole process again.
EDIT: if the Update stops then the firmware files are probably corrupted therefore should be deleted again. Please make sure you are using a broadband connection not a mobile connection (e.g. datacard on laptop).

Or better still after installing all the drivers for the phone, which winxp does automatically....try re-booting your pc and also make sure that pc suite is installed. |

I've followed the instructions in the update application and removed the sim, reinserted the battery, and pressed the c key. Nothing seems to happen. I also tried restarting with the c key pressed and nothing happened. what am I missing here. I have tried this with the phone plugged and unplugged from the computer.
Also the "UpdateService_Inst_2.6.4.9.exe" application doesn't list the P990 as one of the supported phones on the download page. But this seems to be the software everyone seems to be using to update their phone.

BootCamp is a free emulator available on the web site for mac users who wants to run windows on their apple macintosh. Since its not relevant to this thread I shall not eloborate much. |

Well, I tried to update the FW using BootCamp on my intel iMac, but it doesn't work.
Every time I try to launch the updater program it tells me I have an "Incompatible Macromedia version"!
Could an error message be more cryptic?
Since when is Macromedia a product? I suppose they mean Flash, so what version? I installed the newest Flash version, but that didn't help.
Now I'm stumped.
Syncing with the Mac: no go!
Updating using Windows: no go!

Just found out what caused the problem: I always use Firefox when i'm in Windows.
After installing Flash using IE the updater works.
