How TO: Change Product Code On N97 or Nokia 5800

Via: The symbain Blog

This tutorial should be valid for all Nokia devices and not just the N97, which I have used to demo the procedure. In order to get started, all you need is:

• A Windows machine.
• A copy of the NSS Suite which you can get here, or use this direct link.
• A USB cable to connect the phone to the computer.
• The device itself.

HOW TO CHANGE THE PRODUCT CODE

• Simply connect your device to the computer in the ‘PC Suite’ mode.
• Install (use the default configuration, i.e. just keep clicking next during installation) and fire up NSS. You should see the following screen.

• Simply click the lens as shown in the picture above.

• You will see the above screen, next click on ‘Phone Info’ situated next to the top left corner.

• In the ‘Phone Info’ screen, click ‘Read’ to bring up your current product code, HW version etc.

• Next simply click ‘Enable’ next to the product code.

• Fill in the desired product code, I have used a fictitious ’111111′. Please make sure you fill in the right product code e.g. filling in a NAM product code when your device is a Euro model can cause serious damage when you update. Now press ‘Write’.

• Nothing will appear to have happened, but your product code would have been changed. To verify hit ‘Read’ once again.

• That’s it. You have now changed your product code and can fire up the Nokia Software Updater to get the latest firmware.
