Fixed: Ovi Store not working after Hard Reset

I have seen many users complaining Ovi Store app not working at all after they Hard Rest their Symbian^3 device, such as Nokia N8, E7, C7 etc.

Ovi Store app is developed using Qt and it requires the Qt runtime on device to work properly. When a user Hard Rests his device, the runtime is gone. And unfortunately, Nokia is unable to tackle this issue so far when installing Ovi Store again on device.

I have to reset my Nokia N8 once, and I got hit by the same issue. I knew what was missing, so I just installed the Qt runtime (4.6.3) SIS from the Qt SDK 1.0 folder to my N8 and it started working just fine.

Normal users don’t have Qt SDK, which is ~1.3GB download. So, I thought it would be a good idea to put the Qt runtime SIS files on my server and let the users having issues with Ovi Store, download and install the Qt runtime without downloading the Qt SDK.

ovi_store_fixed

I created a special mobile friendly page on our SWF2Go website, where any user can just go directly using his mobile and download and install the Qt runtime.

Direct Download Qt Runtime: https://chall3ng3r.com/downloads/qt/

I uploaded Qt 4.6.3 as well as Qt 4.7.3 runtimes. You just need only one of them. I’d recommend the later as the most of the new apps such as LinkedIn for Symbian is based on it.

Update: Based on feedback I have also added Qt Mobility 1.1.3 SIS along Qt runtime. Some users have reported Ovi Store app uses Qt Mobility as well. I guess this will fix Ovi Store always loading issue after installing Qt.

Update 2: I have now added Qt Notifications APIs SIS on the download link above. The new version of Ovi Store uses these new APIs as well.

Update 3 “€œ Recommended for Symbian ^3: Nokia team has finally made available a standalone download of the Ovi Store client app. Just visit the following link to download the latest version. Read more about this at official blog.

Direct Download Ovi Store App: http://lr.ovi.mobi/store/client-symbian-3/

Update 4 (26 Oct 2011): Download new Qt QML based beta Nokia Store app. 18mb download contains Qt runtime and the client. No need to install Qt. Get it from here.

My suggestion to Nokia / Qt Team: There should be similar Qt runtime download page optimized for mobile devices, for end users. Who disparately search on internet when Ovi Store stops working.

Update 5 (Sep-2015):
Nokia Store for Symbian is no longer available. Most of the apps are moved to Opera at http://apps.opera.com. Visit this website for Opera Store installation on your Symbian OS phone.

Have fun downloading great apps from Ovi Store!

    It worked in my N8 after installing the qt 473 file. Thanks Man!!! Thanks a lot!!! I was so desperate to get back to the Ovi Store since it got corrupted. I had set to restore factory setting still it was not working. I was searching and searching for long… This is it… U find the key. Thanks for sharing the info and uploading the Qt. Thank once again man…

    1. @Michael, Glad that it worked for you :)

  2. hi
    i’ve problem with ovi store on my n8.
    But I’m not able to install the qt file 4.73 that you’ve provided. Its showing ‘update error’
    Please help.

    1. Hi,

      Uninstall Qt and Ovi Store app currently on your device. Then install Qt 4.6.3 and visit Ovi Store from your device’s browser. It should automatically detect your device and offer your to start installation of Ovi Store app.

      For me, when I had to reset my N8, I just installed Qt 4.6.3, and then opened the Ovi Store icon on the device. It took me to Ovi Store mobile site, and offered me to start installation of Ovi on N8.

      I hope this helps, and good luck!

    u r much better den those stupid nokia people… u just solved my ovi problem in a second.. which i was facing past 2 days….. thx a lot for ur support and time…
    really appreciate dis… :)

  8. vikram singh tawar says:

    yaa i agree with roy when I try to go to Ovi Store now, loading time keeps for ever and it does not start. Installed 4.7.3 runtimes.

  9. @Roy, @Vikram, try using 4.6.3 version or the Qt runtime. Maybe the Ovi Store client on your devices is older version. It could be also network connection issue. Check the you are able to browse internet via mobile browser.

    @roop, I uploaded the Qt runtime files for S^1 devices as well. Visit the link again, and download the Qt for your device.

    // chall3ng3r //

  10. roop says:

    thank you very much…i hav seen it in the link !!

    the main error behind dis problem is…..if we reset our mobile using hard format code the ovi files r corrupted to load again. So most probably if we use soft format code to reset our mobile den the problem itself would be solved…..WAT I DID!!! hope dis wud helpful

  11. Danny says:

    tried 473 not work and downgrade to 463 also not work, the ovi store just load forever on my n8. please help!

    1. @Danny, did you tried to uninstall Ovi Store app from your N8? If not, uninstall it, install Qt 4.6.3, then open store.ovi.com on your N8’s browser. It will automatically download and install latest Ovi Store version on your device.

      I hope this will work for you.

      // chall3ng3r //

  12. Ovi Store is not working in my Nokia E63. I think there is some defect or it has virus in New Version of Ovi Store.

  13. Johnchelott says:

    “please wait installation will take a few minutes” then it closes when 95% i think.

  14. Joe says:

    Thanx that is really making the ovi work

  15. @kashif and @Johnchelott,

    Maybe you can try reformatting the device again, then download the Qt runtime from the link above.

    After Qt runtime is installed, you should then try visiting store.ovi.com on your mobile browser.

    Hope it helps,

    i tried many solution on the net but at the last i get unable to install ovi store. i was give up to solve this problem with my own and was thinking to send my phone back to nokia service centre. but today i tried for the last and walla it’s working..this my solution :-

    1) hard reset again ur phone using 3 finger way.
    2) install QT 4.6.3 that provide at this forum (thanks for admin for uploading it). install the webkit also.
    3) after that check for software update at phone without using nokia ovi suite.
    4) when the list of update appear and if u can see ovi store update thats mean ur are successful.
    5) install all the update.
    6) run the ovi store at home screen at it will open and ask ur to download lastest ovi store.
    7) now ur can using back ovi store on nokia n8.

    this how i do, and its successful for me after try many solution…try it with ur own..thanks..

  17. @crewz, thanks for sharing the steps to make the Ovi Store work. Glad that now it’s working for you.

  18. Hey,

    Thanks for sharing. In my case my nokia c7 crashed (have no idea why) I sent it back to the nokia centre n it was fixed. When it came back I couldn,t log into ovistore with my username and password. So I uninstalled ovistore and reinstalled it again. Then my problem began.

    I downloaded ovistore from ovistore and it says welcome and keeps on loading. If I download from SWupdate it just shows ovistore and the black dots keep circling and in both cases nothing further happens.

    I have read several forums until I got to urs and I download the Qt473 and still nothings changed. I want to download the Qt463 but I don’t know if I should or if its adisable to add it on the qt473. I want to install nokia bubbles with the qtdowngrade and see if that will help and I am also afraid to try that. I don’t know how to uninstall the qt473 as I can’t find it in the application manager.

    In the application manager I see SSOUI, SSOUIusernamewidget, ovistore, no name and facebook (which all show a symbol different from the others and which I take to mean that they’r not functioning properly) I know this is alot to process but I could use ur help and advice.

    Thanks.

  19. Hi please tell me which version of qt i hv to install for my Nokia E63. Waiting for the reply at the earliest so that i can install YouTube downloader for my mobile

  20. @meeym, the easiest option I would suggest you is to do a hard reset. This will remove Ovi Store app as well as any Qt runtime on it. Make sure you make a backup of contacts and your data on device using Ovi Suite.

    After that, just open the Qt download link in my post, download and install Qt 4.7.3. Once it’s installed, open store.ovi.com on your browser. It will ask you to install Ovi Store app.

    @Bhaskar, I didn’t find Qt runtime for your E63, with is Symbian 3rd Edition device. You can try installing Qt 4.7.3 which is listed for Symbian ^1 devices.

    Best,

    ok this is clear now and it solve ovi store installing and it require totally removing of qt47…the point now is what will go on if i want to install qt47 again over qt46??? iam afraid very much to loose ovi store or other issue to come up.

    1. @nuerawi, you don’t have to install Qt 4.7 once your Ovi Store starts working. Just keep using Ovi Store to download new games and apps, if any app requires new version of Qt, it will automatically update it to the latest version. And will not even break Ovi Store ;)

      // chall3ng3r //

  22. vojha says:

    Hi,
    I tried both the option i.e. hard reset my N8 installed QT 4.7 then after restarting installed Store but it did not worked. It was showing loading all the times.
    Then I again reseted my phone tried installing Qt 4.6 , but at this time after installing OVI store it is getting crashed. Please help me in this.
    Thanks

  23. @vojha, make sure you are able to browse internet on your mobile browser of N8. As reported by many users, Qt 4.7 fixed the issue for them.

    Once Qt is installed, Ovi Store will always download new version from N8 internet connection, either WiFi or operators data connection.

    It’s best to try with WiFi connection.

    guess what.. last January I do a Hard Reset on my N8 and since then, I cannot install the Ovi Store anymore…. I tried searching blogs on how to fix it but non of them work.. This afternoon, i click the software update on my N8 and surprisingly there’s ovi store listed and I updated my phone accordingly hoping that it will fix the issue. After 2mins – it is SUCCESFUL – it was installed and when I click the icon for ovi store, it ask me to get the new version and I can t believe that after 6 months NOKIA release an update to fix this issue… THANKS ALOT Nokia. Hoping that the Symbian Anna update will be released here in the Philippines by August.

    Salam bro. I want to thank you so much for helping me out. Had problems visiting ovi store on my new n8 where I kept getting push around in circles while trying to resolve the problem. Finally, after many hard resets and re-downloads, I’ve managed to get in ovi store after installing 4.6.3 (4.7.3 did not worked for me). Thanks again, much appreciated.

    @Alejandro and @dheerar, Try the step @crewz provided in above comments.

    @tej, Well, maybe it’s because there could be different version of Qt for Symbian Anna, or Ovi Store. I have not tried this so I’m not sure what could be the problem in this case. You can do a format and try again.

  37. ikram says:

    i do this but now ovi is not installing. It says unable to install. Please give me a waya simply i want to follow this

  38. @ikram, the easiest way to make it work is, just hard reset your device again. Then install the Qt 4.7.3 runtime (main sis, webkit and qt mobility).

    Then visit store.ovi.com on your mobile and download latest Ovi Store app.

    Don’t forget to backup your contacts and important data on you mobile before you do a hard reset.

    Then Ive done what it says in this forum, but nothing happens. the Ovi Store remains launching and nothing!
    Please help me! Thanks a lot

  42. @ikram and @Walter, another way is, after rest of your device, install all sis files for Qt 4.7.3.

    Then restart your device and start SW Update application and check for new updates. It will tell you an update for Ovi Store, install it and then start Ovi Store from menu.

  45. hi, can anyone of you answer my confusion? Hard reset is the “three finger” reset or the “delete data and restore”? Is there any difference between them? I have try “delete data and restore” option, after installing qt4.7.3 and qt mobility, my ovi store works again. I not yet try the “three finger” reset option, so I have no comment on it. Please, anyone help to clear my confusion!

  46. @sy, hard reset is considered the reset via hardware keys. However it is only recommended when you still get issues via soft reset.

    As you mentioned that Ovi Store is now working for you, you don’t need to do hard reset.

    // chall3ng3r //

  47. It wont work for my Nokia N8. It is a big bug in the nokia OS and one cant expect with a Mobile legend like Nokia.

  67. @Mostafa, You can try to clear the cache for the SW Update app to check again for updates. To do that, read my post http://chall3ng3r.com/?p=2871

    Or, wait for a day or two and check for updates again.

    @Hammad, you need to install all the Qt 4.7.3 SIS files on the download link. After the install, wait for 10 mins, then restart your device, and open browser on your mobile and go to http://store.ovi.com

    You will be asked to install latest version of Ovi Store, or if you already have it, it will be started.

    I have removed Qt 4.6.3 runtime files as they are not needed for Ovi Store anymore.

  82. I have just updated the main post with Update 3 section. You can now directly download the Ovi Store client from Nokia.

    You do not even need to download Qt before this. The Ovi Store installer will automatically install any required components itself.

    Just read the main post again and look for instructions under Update 3 section.

    // chall3ng3r //

  83. Following my initial post to chall3ng3r and his response, I decided not to hard reset my phone as it had already crashed and I had just gotten it fixed.

    I then did something I read from the nokia forum. I installed nokia bubbles and qt downgrade.sis and uninstalled them. Restarting the phone after each installation and after unistalling them both.

    Then I installed qt 4.7.3.sis, its web kit sis and qt mobility 1.1.2.sis. In that order.

    Then nokia ovinstaller app (2.06 42 version) that I’d gotten from nokia ovi store. But at this point I kept getting the response that I couldn’t connect to the server.

    I than searched for ovistore update 2.12 42 and installed it. Then I was up and running. Ooops I forgot I also registered a new account again.

    Hope this helps those with nokia c7 like me. N thanks chall3ng3r n all ya all.

    Hi..Recently I have updated my N8 with Anna and did a *#7370# reset.. After installing the qt files ovi start up problem got fixed but got another issue… The problem is something weird.. The ovi store doesn’t stuck at the start up but it keeps showing ‘Loading’ forever when I try to open any featured application..I can search for an app but when i try to open that it fails to load the next page with description and download button.. also My stuff keeps loading forever.. Also the newly installed MS communicator with Anna update doesn’t work either..when tried to sign in it always shows “Server is not available. Application will try to connect again”.. All the settings are saved (User name, password, CWA URL and Network connection are set)..Any solutions please

  88. Hey guys,

    I got an E7 with Anna installed. My problem was that I was getting “Download error” every time I’ve tried to download anything from OVI STORE. Hard reset my device. Did all the above steps. Installed QT 4.7.3, got the latest OVI Store client 2.12.045 but I’m still getting “Download error” everytime I try to get something from Ovi Store. Can you please help?
    Thanks a lot for your help

  90. @manubharath, Santosh and Andrei: you guys can skip the downloading and installation of Qt manually.

    Use the Direct Download Link provided in main post to download the latest version of Ovi Store app. During the install, it will automatically download and install needed Qt version and required Qt libraries.

  91. Yo también le hice Hard Reset a mi Nokia c7 y se me borró la tienda Ovi. Para corregirlo solamente tuve que actualizar el software y entre las actualizaciones disponibles apareció la Tienda Nokia, nomás que con 30 Mb”¦ La descargué sin mucha fe, porque ya había probado muchos otros métodos y”¦ Funcionó! me pareció increíble.
    No sé si les va a servir a otros propietarios que les ha pasado lo mismo, espero que sí. Saludos.
    El proceso en el cel es así: Menú > Configuraciones > teléfono > administrador del teléfono > actualizar dispositivo > Opciones > Buscar actualizaciones”¦. y ahí me apareció.

  99. All of the users still having issues with Ovi/Nokia Store should try out the new beta version.

    Look in the main post for Update 4 for link. It’s a 18mb download, and it’s developed using Qt QML, and it’s a lot smooth and works great on S^3 devices (N8, E7, C7).

  100. Hey, thank you very much. I have an N 8 and after I reset and update to Anna, I could not access the ovi store. I downloaded and install each file that you provided Qt 4.7.3. Clicked on ovi store which then allow me to download ovi store and now its working. I can now go to ovi store and download my apps……thanks again

  120. amitabh bachchan says:

    I created a backup using Ovi Suite before the reset and chose to restore from that back up to try and get the apps that I paid for back onto the phone. After restoring, I have most of the content back but am still missing more than a few apps that I have paid for (a lot of which I wanted to get rid of in the first place – back to square one!).

    Why does it seem that app purchases aren’t ‘registered’ to an account or credit card, but stored in the phone? If Ovi Store tracks apps that I have purchased in the ‘My Stuff’ section, why does it make me purchase them again? This shouldn’t matter, even after a hard reset.

    Basically all I’ve achieved is a lot of time wastage, an unnecessary app purchase and now a phone with less paid apps than before, plus all the junk back that I wanted to get rid of by hard resetting (due to restore).

    My question from all this – why can’t Ovi Store recognise that I have paid for these apps?
