    Hi Guys, is there anywhere on the web that has 6230I firmware. Have an old meteor bill pay but the unlocking procedure is blocked.

    Just download the latest version of PC Suite from nokia.ie. There is a relatively new feature which allows you to upgrade the firmware on your handset. Not sure if it will allow you to upgrade the firmware if the handset is blocked though.

    You could ring the Telephone Centre on Dawson St 01-6776655, they are a nokia repair centre and will probably be able to give you a yes/no answer if it will work. If you ring MPRC they will just tell you to send it in to them.

    It isn't possible to update the firmware yourself on these phones, you need special software which comes with a hardware dongle, plus a special FBUS cable for the phone itself.

    Also updating the firmware will not unlock you phone, however the same software can unlocked it for you.

    If you're around Dublin or Wicklow can do it for you
