This is the standard/normal N70 which can be seen everywhere.

*bp0.blogger.com/_KcajYD4sqnI/RYMQHfC2NrI/AAAAAAAAAAs/nfxqHPhVwX4/s320/n70std.jpg
and this is the newly launched N70 Music Edition.
*bp0.blogger.com/_KcajYD4sqnI/RYMQHfC2NpI/AAAAAAAAAAc/a19b5oNvc-0/s320/n70-1me.jpg

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

*bp1.blogger.com/_KcajYD4sqnI/RYMRsvC2NvI/AAAAAAAAABM/aeZRXu1J-Es/s320/Screenshot2.jpg

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
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.
1. Get NNS (Nemesis Service Suite Beta) from this websites *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 *www.b-phreaks.co.uk/files/NSS/NSS10387.zip

or try this

*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​

*bp0.blogger.com/_KcajYD4sqnI/RYMRsfC2NsI/AAAAAAAAAA0/0ilea5finMQ/s320/NSS1.jpg
3. Then finish the installation, and now download the Nokia Sofware Updater from the Nokia Official Websites. *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).

*bp0.blogger.com/_KcajYD4sqnI/RYMRsfC2NtI/AAAAAAAAAA8/vBdP2oIJIf0/s320/NSS2.jpg
7. After entered your product code, click write and wait it updates complete, then click on read button to verify your product code again.
* 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. :)
- added on 1 Jan 2007
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.​
*bp1.blogger.com/_KcajYD4sqnI/RYMRsvC2NwI/AAAAAAAAABU/fG9l-2XhcPg/s320/NSU1.jpg
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. :)*bp0.blogger.com/_KcajYD4sqnI/RYMQHfC2NqI/AAAAAAAAAAk/fh-cRhaiTr4/s320/N70ME.jpg

In the end, here you are sucessfully turn your normal N70 into a music series N70. Enjoy yaaro..

hey reddick

i think u have normal n70 mobile phone ..green theme is available in default in n70 music edition mobile phone...

using NSS is said to update ur normal n70 mobile phone to n70 music edition mobile phone..

i haven't found much differences between n70 and n70 music edition...

so its ur choice if u wanna convert ur phone to music edition..

In ur case u have simply updated ur phone's firmwire via nokia sofware updater rather than changing any pid...

when u flash ur fone and insert the new PID of a N70 ME the nokia website will update ur fone with the latest firmware that they give with the Music Edition N70...

So in short... u will make Nokia server recognise ur N70 as N70 ME with the new pid...

It is not going to shorten the life if Mobile in anyways

Okay after connecting my N70 to NSS,via data cable,i entered d product code n first i click on 'write',upto this everything is fine...But whn i click on 'read',it takes tons of time n nothing happened :mad: It shows 'Reading Values...' upto so much time! So I close NSS myself n starts NSU.But it recognise my phone as N70 not ME :eek: Plz tell me why it's happening :oops: Is it normal?
A
Jan 19, 2007 at 4:27 PM
What is the correct PID for N70 music edition. I tried all the Product IDs posted in this tutorial. But NSU saying "My phone software is already up to date". My original ID was 0524128.

Another thing, what is the real meaning of PID? Is it like 0524128 etc.. How nokia will come to know about change in PID?

@reddick
I'm also having same problem. Seems like nothing is happening.

@gdatuk ur system consumes some memory n due to that only 240 or 230MB of RAM is shown :idea: Better gt urself extra RAM upto 128MB only n it gona works :wink:

arunks #29
Jan 19, 2007 at 10:09 PM
@gdatuk

ur ram is shared by video memory...

u can check that from system properties..it will be less than 256 MB
thats why it is giving error

u can try by changing that in the bios...

make it sharable 1MB in the bios..

i m also using with same procedure

@redick

have u tried Nokia Software Updater after updating ur pid with nss

Nice job. But would really want to know if you have tried the process yourself.

And from your posts I see that the process is not your property. You downloaded it from net. I think you should mention that. And also give credit to the original poster.

This has been posted in many forums.

EDIT: I have successfully installed N70ME firmware on my phone.

I changed my PID to 0536418 and updated the software. Now its working fine. After changing the PID and launching NSU, it says software upto date if you have V5.0638.3.0.1 already installed. You have to ignore that message and select reinstall option.
Another thing, I can easily change my PID back to the original one i.e. 0524128. So no problems.
I don't think this will void the warranty.

@alanpaladka

yes i was saying same that i saw in many forums where users told they were able successfully to the original pid ..
but ajayashish said he asked his some nokia friend that it is not changable to original one again

SO now all the users have live example on this thread also by alanpaladka..

good move .. actually i myself have bought n70 recently so i will give this method a try after sometime...i was just curious to search and collect knowledge abt the proceduree and related things...thats why i searched a lot on net (google specailly) :)

another piece of info

your product code is written beneath ur battery on the phone so just change the product code and do a software update again from the nokia site to get your old firmware back

also as some people mentioned that warranty is on the hardware so there shouldnt be any problems,but im not too sure of that,well 1 thing noticed is that n70 scrolling through pictures and loading is much faster on the me and ofcourse the bump up on OS version on n70 makes it better too.

NSS the APAC PID and update NSU. Well all i care is is it my N70 font will be same smaller like APAC version. Or Use another (chinese support pid) product code (0543026) or (0543027) u gave will be remain the same big font that i wanted to. (pls i really need help of this.... pls anyone out there got ideas of this and guide to do) pls post. thank u arunks... everyone.

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.

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

*bp1.blogger.com/_KcajYD4sqnI/RYMRsvC2NvI/AAAAAAAAABM/aeZRXu1J-Es/s320/Screenshot2.jpg

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
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.
1. Get NNS (Nemesis Service Suite Beta) from this websites *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 *www.b-phreaks.co.uk/files/NSS/NSS10387.zip​

or try this​

*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​

*bp0.blogger.com/_KcajYD4sqnI/RYMRsfC2NsI/AAAAAAAAAA0/0ilea5finMQ/s320/NSS1.jpg
3. Then finish the installation, and now download the Nokia Sofware Updater from the Nokia Official Websites. *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).

7. After entered your product code, click write and wait it updates complete, then click on read button to verify your product code again.
* 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.​

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. :)*bp0.blogger.com/_KcajYD4sqnI/RYMQHfC2NqI/AAAAAAAAAAk/fh-cRhaiTr4/s320/N70ME.jpg​



In the end, here you are sucessfully turn your normal N70 into a music series N70. Enjoy yaaro..​

Hello
I have updated to music edition by the code 0543026 for Meadle East.
But other than 2 new themes, nothing has changed unlike changes in n73 music.
-No feature has been added to music player,
-Music player is not always open as is for n73 music
-the phone speed has not improved that much
Is this normal or my upgrade has been unsuccessfull?
