NaviFirm+ 1.7

[Il.Socio]

Description:
NaviFirm+ is a modded version of the NAVIFIRM tool developed by EPICBIZNUS, I made the additional improvements documented in the Change-Log.
Below follows a brief description of the NAVIFIRM tool.

NAVIFIRM is the ultimate all-purpose tool for downloading Nokia firmware images, obtaining lists of product codes, and finding the right product code for your phone. NAVIFIRM downloads all this straight from Nokia's servers so you don't have to wait for people to post data packages and lists of product codes.
NAVIFIRM is useful for just about anyone:
End users: Find product codes to use with NSS/NSU
Journalists: Be the first to know when new firmware hits NSU
Developers: Download ROM images for extracting files
Care Suite/Phoenix/box users: Download ROM images to flash Additional NSU servers can be added by editing Main.cs in the source code.

NOTE: The main developer for this software is EPICBIZNUS, I have made the additional improvements which have been documented in the Change-Log.

Il.Socio, thanks for the update!
Noticed that it got slower wile starting program and when i click download hangs for ~15sec, probably my processor is not holding on on the .net fw4 (C2D 2.2, 4gb ram, 7200rpm 2.5" hdd, win7 x64)

Either way, thanks for the updates! Very nice the tooltip with pic.

edit: isn't it better to maintain the 1.6 link for ppl who cannot afford to have .net 4 on their pc's?

[Il.Socio]

that's strange... will perform some tests on older machine trying to reproduce the issue.
If it is caused by the .net fw4 will switch back again to the fw2...

[unlock_allgsm]

worked fine thanks bro

[chubbie]

¬make it works with a firewall proxy (squid proxy). Like the one in ur old school. That will be a very big development. Nice work

No offence brother

¬¬¬¬¬regards

[Il.Socio]

Don't worry, no offence taken
Actually, NaviFirm+ should be already working though proxy, you just need to configure it.
Note: your proxy must support https...

You have to edit the .config file to set the proxy address
<setting name="Proxy" serializeAs="String">
<value>Insert the proxy address here</value>
</setting>

Set the proxy port (443 is the default value for HTTPS)
<setting name="Port" serializeAs="String">
<value>443</value>
</setting>

And if your proxy requires authentication, then you'll need to set values for username and password too... otherwise, leave them empty
<setting name="User" serializeAs="String">
<value>your username</value>
</setting>
<setting name="Password" serializeAs="String">
<value>your password</value>
</setting>
