K750i Software Problem? (PH)

Posted by marcus
Have you ever gone to Se_ic_n only to be told that your phone is beyond repair?

I had a problem with my K750i 2days ago. It just started dropping calls and restarting everytime I try to access some menus. I couldnt text or call, hell I couldnt even set the time. I thought to myself that if SE service centers couldnt do it then its hopeless.

This afternoon I went to greenhills hoping that someone would accept the k750 for a trade-in. Then a tiangero asked me what I needed, medyo nahiya ako i-alok yung phone kasi nga sira, so instead of trading it in I ended up inquiring if they could fix it.

They explained to me why SE doesnt do flashing etc. They reassured me that the phone wouldnt die and that even if it did, he could revive it. What really convinced me was when I inquired about the SW he was going to use. "Cruiser" the rest was history.

Now my phone is still running on the same r1n005, but this time without the bugs. everything is working perfectly. He told me to observe the unit and if Im not satisfied, He'll upgrade it to the w800 sw. He does that too and has done it already several times. yun nga lang it takes 2hours for that.

So there's still hope for your K750. Here's his number incase anybody needs help:) 09278675227 his name is dave. Tell him joseph refered you. he charges 600 for that. it's a hundred higher than SE but it's worth-it!

hmm...

i like to know their answer "why SE ctrs cannot do... "

you can try http://www.davinciteam.com to do those cruizer are doing... cheaper pa.

btw, k750 converting to w800 is just around 10mins

hiya! just went to dave at GH and told him about my phone's problem (nawawalang sound ng speakerphone at kapag nadiinan, nagkakaroon), where semicon told that there's nothing they can do, told me to go to SE Glorietta, and gusess what, dave's companion just hotwired my unit adn presto! i can now use my speakerphone an in just below 30 minutes. thanks man !

happened to my K700 not so long ago, was fixed in GH too. i did plug the guy around here but i opted not to post his number in a public forum, and just PM the number to those interested. i suggest you do the same, your guy might misinterpret your actions.

where's his stall btw? dun ba 'to sa bridgeway shops? yung mga nasa main area kasi nagpapalit ng locations every month or so, ang hirap hagilapin

Eh SEUS lang katapat nyan, libre pa.

doc_othan,

I'm glad I was able to help you out. Natuwa lang talaga ko kasi naayos yung phone ko. So I'm sharing this to people like me who own grey units who were turned down by SE suppot centers. kulang ba ng "r"?

kabukijep,

Dont worry, ok lang sa kanya kasi free plugging daw yun. and he would be glad to help out those na nasiraan na ng loob after going to SemiBeyondRepairCon.

RE SE,

If you were an SE tech, would you go through the trouble of repairing a phone when you can just sign a form saying that the unit is "Beyond Repair" and has to be replaced. All you gotta do is justify it and voila! you can go back to surfing the net and sit on your lazy a_s the whole day, and still get paid the same amount. Anyway, it's not you who's gonna shoulder the expenses right.

619,

I'm not comparing Cruiser to Davinci. Basta happy ako that my phone is ok now and wont be used as paperweight anymore. I'm just trying to give average people like me who dont know tech stuff the chance to have their phones fixed. malay mo, with the bug rate of SE firmwares makakuha pa tayo ng discount dun basta esato forumer. And please bear in mind na hindi lahat ng nasa esato meron pambili ng brandnew na authentic SE phones w/ matching "Beyond Repair Warranty". Some of us get it from the grey market.

Yung convertion naman from K750i-w800 @ 2hrs is just an approximate. Kasi he still has to reprogram my phone and make it red instead of brown. Then start all over again. I'm not to technical so I'm just taking it from him.

Arnold C.

I know that SEUS is free and it's the best and first step to an upgrade. pero, some of us here have units that SEUS doenst recognize. like mine which in the first place is asian pero brown and using a EU version SW. Tried it 4 times and all I got was "You already have the latest Firmware".
What's up with that? pano magiging latest e R1n005 aka "TEST SOFTWARE for K750"? Plus I could barely use the phone kasi nga restart ng restart. Malay ko ba kung ano mangyayari pag naghang to during upgrade. I dont need a 15k paper weight. I've been searching esato since this phone went crazy and most posters have said that their phones died after trying to upgrade their faulty unit with SEUS. At least yung kanila meron warrant pwede palitan.

asus... criuzer is giving out brown files..

you shld ask for RED version na Asian (apac) so you can update using seus next time.. now naka tali ka pa sa kanya kasi brown binigay syo

ac, di tatangapin ng seus ang euro version... dapat red file and apac

re SE srv ctrs... they cannot do anything about your unit, kasi limited yung function ng client nila... if you bring your unit to them they will try to plug to their computer minsan nisisira ng client nila... its like flashing using seus too.

on their experiences, nasisira talaga ng client yung phones lalo na mga euro version na walang warranty.

w/ criuzer, setools, tms, dvt.. they can revive dead phone, they can upgrade brown files and change to red file. they cant interchange fw.

ang ok sa dvt, it can use dss25, miniusb to flash...

ang ok sa criuzer, setools, terminator... you can flash up to 1,000,000 phones .. just buy the units at around P20,000 each

now, unahan lang sila sa pag labas ng bagong fw na pwede mag unlock ng cid49 phones

619,

Yup sir, ganun nga, actually thats what he told me re the brown and red thing. I kinda liked the EU multi-character search function. that's why I chose to remain brown. But I am still thinking of having it converted to a w8. Libre naman daw, and my primary concern that day was to revive my almost useless phone. Any problems encountered by phone owners who have done this?

Does the w8 fw support this multi-character search function? I really find it very handy and there's less stress on the joystick.

Thanks in advance for answering my questions. It's really nice to see that all time greats of the esato ph forum are still very much active and still helping out non tech inclined people like me:) more power sir:)

Siguro takot sila sa backdraft.... like kung sisihin sila kung ano mangyayari sa phone... stuff like that.. especially if the unit is out of their warranty.

mine was with SE glorietta. first time i stepped into that showroom. they immediately told me that it was board problem. well thats what theyve fuond out tho... the prob with my K750 was a diferent driver from the FW. (this was before i knew davinciteam).

nung maayos ko via davinciteam.com binalikan ko ung taga SE G3 saka ung nilapitan ko sa greenhills na nde kayang ayusin ung phone before... pinamukha ko sa kanila na kaya kong ayusin...

marcus... seus APAC has multicharacter search na... tested on k750i.

Either they're to lazy or they dont know how to. That's my assumption.
For crying out loud, they're SE. everything that has to do with SE they should have. It's like going to Toyota and them telling you to buy a new transmission when the only thing w/ your car is the clutch disk.

sali ako

dinala ko rin dati sa SE Glorietta my trusty old T68i board problem, beyond repair, etc

napadaan ako sa Semicon Southmall, nagbaka-sakali...ayun, 30 minutes, fixed!

Posted by rockygali
buti na lang matatalino tayo... saka malilikot daliri naten kaya naayos naten sa ating sariling pagsisikap! mabuhay ang mga taga-esatong Pilipino...

bwiset na mga taga SE yan! mwehehehehe

Posted by 619
btw... iba na ang humahawak ng SE Glorietta 3 service center.. changed management and changed owner...

Posted by rockygali
huh ganon ka bilis? hindi pa nga sila nag a-anniv? sino daw bago humahawak?

May multisearch na sa lahat ng versions ng latest firmware for K750/W800 R1AA008, kahit China version.

Posted by doc_othan
maiba lang ako ng kaunti. i bought a dss-25 sa GH (P350) because i plan to upgrade my FW in the future. im presently using Windows ME. i downloaded tje driver from SE, installed it and connected it with my PC and K600i. i then did triwed to open the SE file manager, pereo di na-detect. sa inis ko, kinabit ko uli and mini-usb ko para makapag-file sharing with my pc. Ano ba ang kulang ko?

by the way, my present FW is

R2M001
prgCXC1250077_EU_5_
MI R2M001

customization
CDA 102338/36 R5A
cxc 1250017 R2M001
6E0W
HUTCH_1

Kabukii told me that Hutch is hutchinson, fro europe. OK
then is searched somewhere, that my CDA is Russian generic, ................................................ and its for k750i !!!

pwede pala yun kahit walang 3G and k750i. try ko videocall, ayos naman.

salamat

marcus: oh ok. i just thought posting contact numbers is generally not advisable in a public forum such like this. somebody might use that publicly available info to do un-good. cant be too careful ya know

doc: kelan ka bumili ng dss?!? sana ung sakin na lang binili mo i dont have use for it anymore-i just sold my K600 and got a W600 instead btw if youre thinking of upgrading via SEUS, no you cant do it with your current FW. SEUS checks your phone's if your CDA/IMEI/current FW loaded matches before proceeding with an upgrade. if your K600 did not originally come with a hutch-customised FW SEUS wont proceed. but you can use davinci to reflash that K600 (i never had luck with it though- and i suggest you get your hands on a T28 svc cable if you plan to reflash that thing yourself). diba 619? heheh

arrrgh ang tagal dumating ng W810!!!!

Posted by kabukijep
one more thing-doc: CDA36 is not exclusive to K600. Even other models (K750s/W800s?) have CDA36 as well. for the purpose of this thread, CDA works as the encryption system used by the phone to prevent unofficial unlocking/reflashing. hence you hear people talking about CID49 being unlockable at the moment, etc

someone correct me if im mistaken

sorry kabuki, di ko alam benta mo DSS mo nagtanong kasi ak before sa my st francis, benta 500, ask ako sa isang shop sa GH benta 850, susmaryahosep!, then napadaan ako dito sa isang shop sa loob din ng GH, benta nya 350, tawad pa ako kaya lang ayaw nya.
may tanong ako..
1. is CAD36 the same as CID?
2. ano yung red and brown file na nabanggit kanina? nawala ako dun ah.
3. paano ba gamitin ang dss-25 using ME for a K600i? na-install ko driver, kabit ko usb sa port, kabit ko phone sa dss, ilaw SE logo, pindot ko SE file manager, pero di nya detect. ano ba mali ko? di ko kabit power
kabit ko mini-usb, pindot SE file manager, detect nya.


Posted by kabukijep
I wouldve sold you mine at 300. sigh.

i havent heard of cad36

brown flashes = developer flashes. eg beta (?)

red = mainstream. gold releases

sorry, magulo ka mag explain. give us the steps you did without resorting to tarzan-talk

Posted by doc_othan
i mean CDA, and sorry sa tarzan-like tagalog. heheheh

i downloaded the usb driver for DSS 25 from SE and installed them. i then connected the dss usb to the usb port of the pc, connected the k600i with the dss 25. the SE logo at the dss 25 lit up upon connection with the cellphone. then i clicked the SE file manager to see if the phone is recognized. but alas, it wasn't detected. the i connected the mini-usb (the one included in the package when i bought the phone). i clicked again the SE file manager the the phone was recognized. that's the only time could put files from my pc to the phone.

did i made a mistake? or somehow, i still need some programs/drivers?

BTW, how could i know re: brown/red files in my phone? or, is it in the phone?

salamat ulit

Posted by kabukijep
have you tried using another phone (T610/K700) on the cradle? could be the DSS itself

if you have the right DSS-25 drivers (not the one off davinciteam.com) and the K600-compatible PC Suite installed, it should work flawlessly. what version of Windows are you using? If it's 2000/XP, try computer management > device manager > universal serial bus controllers > DSS-25 > right-click > uninstall. then plug it onto a different port and reinstall the drivers. if that doesnt work, try it on another computer. pag ayaw pa din, try another PC. if that works, something is wrong with your Windows. otherwise, alas, it's your phone. wag naman sana. lol

im using window ME

my k600i is my very first SE and i loving it again after the sound was fixed woo hooo.

one of my nurse has a Z1010 brought by her husband from KSA. it has a nice red color, but i still prefer my k600i overall. it only has a VGA camera and 2MB memory though it has memory card. we tried to BT a 3MB video but the z1010 cannot accept it becasue of low memory. probably, the z1010 initially saves the file to the internal memory and not directly to the memory card.

Posted by kabukijep
Z1010 din yata old ericsson-style connector (aside from the mini USB connector?), im not so sure. if they are, try it on your DSS-25 and see if SE File Mgr can browse through the file system

619, sent you a PM

Posted by baste07
kelan kaya lalabas bagong FW for k750?

Posted by kabukijep
baste: what do you have atm? r1a?

Posted by baste07
yup i have the R1A at the moment

Posted by kabukijep
that's as new as we can get, pero october 2005 pa ata yan eh. hopefully we're expecting another one on the way. there's still a couple of intolerable bugs with r1a, esp the static

then again, would rather see us get the w810 than fix the bugs on a year-old model. k750/w800 is nearing the end of its life cycle imo

Posted by onething
PMed you 619... 1st post... hehe newbie here. (actually lost my user/pass about a year or 2 ago)

Posted by race24
hope there's a new new firmware for the k750i. it's the best phone that i've used.
