On Australian Vodafone live, i can't see any of the 3g features on my k600i (which i bought off ebay). I don't know what the problem is and any help would be great.

is it unbranded/unlocked? Unbranding could be the problem..
btw, welcome to Esato

I'm not sure if it's debranded or unlocked, how would i check? If it helps the seller said they bought it in Hong Kong.

if it was meant to be a v600i, you need a phone descriptor tool to change the model name back to v600i from k600i

The Vodafone wap site checks to see what phone you are using to see if it can use the 3G services. The K600i is not on their list as they sold their own version, the V600i. You need to make your phone into a V600i for it to be able to use Vodafones 3G Live services. Its silly really but it is Vodafones way of ensuring that you use one of their handsets.

so, would i have to get v600i firmware or is there a way to trick it? Where i get a phone descriptor tool from?

you need to flash it from like www.davinciteam.com or www.totalserver.net

maybe you just need the correct settings to be able to use voda live!
maybe you can just copy somebody's v600 settings

you need a v600i .gdf
which is not available on the servers, but is available to users of usbsmart

Thanks everyone for your help. It all seems like too much of an effort, especially as my dcu-11 can't be used for flashing anyway.

sorry for the double post, but does anyone know if the k600i would be able to use 3's 3g features? again, thanks for any help
