I don't have it there either. Bit strange.
Posted by Epedemic
Hmm strange you guys dont have the instant viewer thing... Could be a 3 branding thing i guess. But im sure it wasn't there before... And besides, i can switch it off and on, but nothing happens...

I've tried updating via SEUS to R1GB001 from R1ED001 (Wotan).
The update never actually completes, and stops at 95% then drops back to the Start Update page.
I now have a K800 which shows Software Info as
R1GB001
prgCXC1250210_GENERIC_C_WI R1GB001
EROM: R3A011
prgCXC1250461_EROM_DB2020_WILMA_FOTA_SIMLOCK_FLAFLA_SIBLEY_SEMCUSB
but Customization says
Customization
CDA102511/2 R4A
cxc1250490 R1ED001
1E0W
EUROPE_2
Only real problem I'm now experiencing is the screen display takes about 15 seconds to light up once you press a key
Anyone any ideas what to do?
Thanks in advance.
I've tried updating again but can never get the update to get to 100%. What should I see when the update has completed?
Tried another update this morning after uninstalling and reinstalling SEUS. Update this time worked fine and Customization now says R1GB001 and no problems with the screen display light

Ah that make sense. I always wonder why it bahaves like when you do a text search in phone book (when press 1 it shows choice of a,b,c,1). So it try to do text search.
I think they have to make the same interface and choose just one between text search or potition search in menu level. That will not confuse everyone when browsing the UI.
Or does it have to do to the fact that file manager menu has more than 9 items listed inside (so the potition search can't cover all of them)?

I guess if we complain to SE they will take note of all bugs. So lets send email to their tech support.
About high quality video I think lower the quality is better as it take less media on M2 card. After all you won't see much difference in k800i's small screen. If you want to show it on TV then it may be a problem (but can the bluetooth multimedia viewer handle the bitrate?).
I will not update to R1GB yet then! With my new R3A016 EROM and R1ED, the text error is lessen anyway on par with my wife Z610 (just saw it happen once in Z610 after 3 months).

Hello Aremaboy, I'm new member here, though i have knew esato for 4 years.
I just wonder, i tried to update my k800 firmware through SEUS (by menu update service in the phone setting mode) but they say I have the latest software already. FYI I have R1ED001 right now which I got it 2 months ago via SEUS. Why can't I have the newer version like u did???
BTW would u mind giving me ur number where i can reach u?, i think it's the easiest way for us to comunicate since we r in the same country.
It's okay if u mind, i understand completely. Thanks!!!!!

Hi guys I am from India and successfully upgraded to R1GB via SEUS, as "aremaboy" said
"The firmware file downloaded didn't even reach 30%--it just jumped to updating phone stage. It also said 50% updating,then directly completed to 100%." But phone has the new firmware and it is working fine.

@lone_snake:
The update isn't avalaible yet via FOTA (built-in updater client). You are required to update via PC as what you did last time. Is yours APAC K800i? If it isn't, it may be because your customization isn't available atm. You can PM me if you want to discuss further. Thanks. Whereabout are you in Indonesia? As a note, I'm NOT an expert in phone firmware. I just happen to know little about SEUS.
@hanugro:
Did KulanKendi just update your EROM but not flash it..and your K800i is still alive? Hm..if it's the case, why doesn't SE do the same?
[ This Message was edited by: aremaboy on 2007-01-05 07:02 ]

@aremaboy
Nope I just update EROM through KulanKendi. EROM update is free and competely seperate from firmware update (although you may do both at once). I have not update firmware to R1GB as I am weighting the benefit and cost (CID51 EROM). If the EROM is corrupt with CID51, there is chance Kulankendi or Wotan may not be able to fix it again. Unless someone said Kulan can work with CID51 EROM. I am not against bringing the phone back to authorised service centre here in Jakarta, but it take time (at least 24hr) while you can try kulankendi to fix it in few mins using EROM updater. Hopefully R3A016 will not crash again.
I will try to update my wife Z610 using wotan (kulan has not got new firmware yet). She wants traditional chinese in her phone so I will use R1GB HGK/TAIWAN. Wotan can run now after I don't use router anymore (unlike Kulan Kendi who can use router just fine).
As I suspect before SE deliberately omit the EROM update via SEUS. I don't know exactly the reason but I hope the decision is not based on that SE can charge us for WSOD, or other EROM problem. Hope they are doing it so they can monitor any problem with specific version of EROM.
@wopo,
kulan kendi has ver1.28. You may try whether it can handle EROM CID51.

Dude maybe it's like you can turn of the little preview of the video's when you hover over them. Can you check that out?
Posted by bravint
@ mdou: cheers m8, i heard that people who had updated their erom couldn't update via seus - just wanted to check that out...
@ hanugro: cid51 shouldnt be a problem for wotan server and co. give them a few weeks and they'll have support for it. The really bad thing about cid51 (in my view) is that u lose the ability to use phone xs/xc and change files inside your phone (like the sound and camera drivers etc...). If you have no intention of doing stuff like that with your phone then i dont see cid51 as a problem
Posted by eggster2k
The instant viewer thing, (here in the UK at least) is 3's advertisement banner on the phones standby screen displaying links i.e. games, tones etc.. For example, I had a Nokia 6680 on 3, certain 3 badged firmwares included the instant viewer and the option to disable it.
@ ~DC:UK~ re the video preview, why not do the following:
- Video preview can crash the phone if the video is encoded as high quality MP4. Note that video preview cannot be turned off, although you can view the folder as a list to avoid the issue.

Well I do hope so since I am very tempted to upgrade to R1GB.
PhoneXS need 5hr brute force to crack CID49 (but still no guarantee of success). I hope I can customize my phone but for 5hr, well no thanks.
Maybe few months from now we can customize phone like we do with the CID36 now. That will prolong my interest with my k800 for another year
@Mwarner I think you need to update the first page about filemanager bug not yet fixed.

Did anyone mention that some new games caome with new firmware?
I got mine updated in HK
service centre and found many new games,
AstroPop
Extreme Powerboat
Nightmare (From Disney, it should be The Nightmare before Christmas)
V-Penguins
3D Alien Attack
3D Football Jr.
And found 1 new application,
minibus (It is written by Mobilesoft Technology (HK) Ltd., I think it it customized for HK)
But sadly all data gone as it needs a complete flash of EROM.

hey just wanna ask on what you guys think... should i update or not... coz i read a lot of stories about the effects of upgrading your firmwares... i just wanna ask if the advantages outstages the disadvantage... what do you guys think... thanks...
Posted by alexlui
What I will say is Yes, althrough still has some bugs, but it is much better than any old firmware.
I found it has English search in phone book on HK version now, before it doesn't, this made me very appreciate.

Hm you mean english search while you choose chinese traditional language? SE always have English search in phonebook for English language AFAIK.
Anybody knows what is the difference between chinese traditional HGK and Taiwan firmware?
Posted by hanugro
Finally upgrade to R1GB. It seems faster. However I live in area where 3g signal is still unstable and since I upgrade to R1GB the 3g icon has dissapeared. I will go to a place where 3g signal is stronger to see what is the problem. Hopefully it is only the signal and not the phone firmware. will report to you all back ASAP.

I've flashed my K800i to the new R1GB001 with wotan 2times, after problems with downloading content from the se// wap page. In the software-info i've the string 2E0W bevor the EUROPE_2 string. What`s that? Is there a way to fix this?

Anyone feel that new R1GB make k800 less sensitive to 3g signal? I used to be able to get a signal in my house and now I don't have it. I have tried in few places that used to get 3g signal in 500m radius of my house and it also can't pick the signal. Anyone confirm this?
However seems that it take 2g signal better than old firmware though.

My O2 K800i is still reporting via seus that R1ED is thew latest firmware.

I could be wrong but I don't think you can downgrade CID. Please tell me if it is possible!

Hi everyone, this is my first post eventhough i am following up closely with esato forum. esato forum was very usefull to me for a long time, I hope that i can help others as well.
I've just updated my K800 from R1CF001 to R1GB001 using SEUS. Everything went fine. I just would like to know the effect on the functionality of the phone with my EROM still R3A011.
As i said, it makes no difference to me as everything seems to be working fine.
Posted by vegetaleb
This R1GB is slow sometimes,I got my menu freezed for 30 sec too while opening the video folder,no new games and the ones I already installed cant start ''not enough memory in you memory stick'' while I have 50mb free,the only good news for me is that I can finally save pics under the SE browser in colors instead of the brown and white I got on the old FW,videos now can be previewed in thumbnails
Posted by DKCoo
hanugro i agree i get no 3g reception @ all now and use to get it all the time!
Posted by glorfingal
just swapped in the 3G sim and I get signal - 1 to 2 bar as opposed to 4 to 5
bars for 2G.
Not sure if you can downgrade the EROM - that's what SEUS appears to
change to CID51.
Posted by Lightning1
does any one get any problem with the phone as they come out of standby a have the r1gb from seus and it dont come on as soon as i come out of standby it could be just me
like what i mean is when i press any buttons it dont brighten up at all unless i got to brightness settings

So, what's this EROM CID 51 all about? Does it make a difference with EROM R3A011 CID 49, EROM R3A016 CID 49, EROM R3A011 CID 51 and EROM R3A016 CID 51? From what I read here, my R1GB is EROM R3A011 CID 51. Is mine now 'equal' to R3A016 meaning that the bug of WSOD is all gone? Or is it still 'potentially buggy' EROM but with 'more secure' firewall which is modding-free? Enlighten me. What I know simply my phone with R1GB001 rocks! I have no
problems with Video thumbnail as I don't save movie files there. My 10-15 secs MP4 clips work OK..lucky me then.

Well just try not to leave the batt to low and I think you will be fine. There is no need to worry to much about it as by now your EROM is CID51 and there is nothing you can do about it unless you ask authorised service centre to update it for you. Wopo confirm that newest kulan client can't update CID51 firmware. I think SE may be able to lessen the effect of the flaw in EROM with newer firmware so as long as you are not doing something extreme (like taking out the batt without turning off the phone) then it should be OK.

Well I think CID is just protection. So R3A011 is the same whichever CID you have. I could be wrong though.

Whew, I though only I affected. When I went to CBD the 3g signal appear again. I begin to regret upgrading to R1GB. However, my 2g signal in my house is always full strength now. I wonder whether it will affect batt power when you turn on '2g and 3g' mode (phone always searching 3g signal)?
Edit: I confirm again R1GB need better 3g signal. I went inside a building at CBD and the 3g signal dissapear. Older firmware can pick 3g signal just fine.
Let us write to SE to report this finding!

So, if our CID 51 K800i has troubles, neither Wotan, Davinci nor KulanKendi can help...at least for the time being only SE Service Centre can. Is it the way the business go?

Yes i can confirm wotan & kulan kendi don't work either.
