Because it is not Walkman phone?
Posted by aremaboy
M600i has it..it's a matter of marketing only..somebody said to me the Walkman Phone W710 doesn't even have MegaBass. Not sure, though..

Well, some said CID is just a pair of RSA certificate (http://www.esato.com/board/viewtopic.php?topic=139112#post1873301) . Well you are on that threat as well.
Don't worry to much I bet within weeks Kulan/wotan will be able to load CID51 EROM again. In the mean time just make sure you don't drain/cut off the batt while the phone is still doing something.
As I said SE must have reason to not include this EROM update. I just hope the reason is not to milk those who are not covered by warranty (like bought from overseas).

I finally can flash my Wife Z610i with Taiwan firmware with Kulan Kendi. It has something to do with their feature of finalisation without flashing and I accidently activated it. But I found interesting info as well:
I talked to Kulan ppl and they said that if your phone has CID EROM 49, then you could not update to R1GB CID51 directly. You need to upgrade EROM CID 51 first then flash the firmware to R1GB and that need 2 credits. He said he can't control it and it is a suprised moved by SE. He is trying to figure out how to make that only need 1 credit. I wonder now why wotan has R1GB CID49
. The move to CID51 EROM may be made by SE to make third party update more difficult. He also confirm that you can't downgrade CID. And once you are CID51 EROM you can't install R1ED back ever as that is CID49 firmware (you can only install R1GB CID51 level or newer).
Well as some said that CID is only a pair of RSA (certificate). Maybe finalisation also just inputing necessary certificate to SE phone.

To try and answer the questions regarding the EROM and CID 51
Currently it is not ava to update the EROM using SEUS. I also dont beleive that it would be possible as you have to press more than 1 key and then remove the battery and re replace it.
Customers using the SEUS dont want to be messing about like that also some wont like to keep removing and replacing the battery.
The EROM is the BIOS of the phone and yes is the part that the Boots the phone. However the CID is also an extension of the phone EROM and the CID has been created to improve the security and boot sequence.
The new update is partly a way round in updating the boot sequence of the phone.
There has been a service adivisory out for the EROM of the SE K800 phone for a while but this is for the SE service centers only.
There are only people that read the internet etc that no about the problem, normaly when people get a fault they send it into the shop and says its stopped working, Shop repairs it and he cusotmer is happy.
The EROM doesnt afftect all K800is only some of them and it wold be impossible to do a recall on them as people dont register there phones etc.
As there is no major problem with the handset like catching fire, blowing up etc. There is no need to issue a public statment.
Many Millions of people will never update the phone or even have any problems.
I hope the above makes sense. If you need any help or want any more info then please pm me.

1. Because it's not Walkman-branded.
2. H.264 files have to be QCIF resolution to play back, it can't play back QVGA h264 files.

Hi!
I've flashed my K800i with Wotan to new firmware. I've a 2E0W String in the System-Info. How can i fix this? Wotan Support says that i've flashed my phone with the wrong CDA but i think not.

Well, I see your problem has not been resolved. But we are not sure what you are talking about. If you can provide picture that shows where the 2E0W string shows up will be helpfull!

That's why you should not upgrade through Wotan and buy a unbranded phone.

Many thanks for the explanation. So less worry for those who has upgraded to R1GB. Yeah I think considering so many k800 sold, the one who is searching the net actively is the one who has a problem or question and that is small percentage of failed k800.

Hi , can any expert here tell me whether i had update the EROM and firmware or not ?
Cause first time i upgrade using Wotan server , i get R1GB CID=49 . But then im using SEUS to update again , i get this above . Is that i've already update my phone to the latest EROM and Firmware ?

Thanks for the enlightment. The moral lesson is as long as everything runs well, don't worry so much. So, don't fix what is not broken. Once again thanks.

Hi all,
R1GB001 has been released for K790 too.
I successfully updated my K790 to R1GB001 via FOTA from India
Hi mwarner,
Its time to update your firmware details for K790 too.
Note that i have added one more item to bug fixes.
R1GB001
- Released in SE Service Centres around 15/12/06
- Released on Wotan on 30/12/06
- Released on SEUS 3/1/07 (Some regions only). Note EROM CID changed to 51 through SEUS.
Improvements
- Updated Video folder - video thumbnails now play when they are hovered over.
- Highlighted menu item animation is now supported.
Bug fixes
- Bug in search facility in applications folder is now fixed.
- Thick black line flashes on screen at the start and end of video playback when playing video in Vertical mode through the File Manager now fixed.
- Selecting More / Information on the Applications and Games folders no longer returns 0KB used and 0 files.
New Bugs
User Interface
- 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.
- Video preview can introduce a lag if the video is encoded in excessively high quality.
Intermittant / Non-working functionality
- Games and applications installed on memory stick from before the update will not work after the upgrade. Note that games and applications installed into phone memory will still function correctly.

Well I think you have updated through SEUS to R1GB right (because the crash video thumbnail preview on high quality video is a bug in R1GB) ? R1GB has update the EROM to CID51 and I am afraid there is no loader yet able to rewrite CID51 EROM. You should update EROM first before upgrading firmware to R1GB.
However it seems that you have overcome WSOD (because you seems to be able to test the video?).
If you still experience WSOD then you have to bring it to authorised service centre.
You can check what is your EROM ver. The latest is R3A016.
Posted by aremaboy
Has anyone been able to update to R1GB via FOTA? It's time to share. FOTA always comes later, yet for some users it's considered easier.
About the missing volume green balls bug, as what was stated by the previous poster---sorry don't exactly remember the name---I can confirm that if you experience it, simply go to standby and lock the phone/lock the keypad! It goes back to normal. Thanks to the founder of the 'remedy'.

Yeah the problem seems related to the encoding not by the file size. So even 1sec of very high quality clip may crash the phone. I am using high quality QVGA-stereo 3gp (maybe just a medium quality mpeg4) and it run OK. It crash if you use video preview though.
Posted by DonJuan
Does anyone ever have this problem? When i attach a picture to a contact it usually comes up when that person texts me. However every so often just the name comes up and the picture vanishes. I have to restart my phone to get it back

Of course they will not work. You need to re-install them again.

Has anybody managed to get their K800i working with Vista. If you plug it in it doesnt even show the drives. Wish sony would get their act together with the Vista drivers. I've not tried SEUS on their yet but probably best to stay away for a while.

Uhhhh.... Vista is sort of new, don't you think? Are you sure MS supplied an SDK for SE to use? Maybe it is MS that needs to get their act together.

Posted by xstreamsam
is it just me or is there a lot of lag generally in the new firmware?
scrolling through txts inbox and moving around in the main menu window seems very very laggy.
any one else come across this?

Yep, I thought the menu's were slower too. And I keep having issues with the Bluetooth Headset icon remaining on screen even after the headset has disconnected and Bluetooth turned off.

One other thing i've noticed is that the framerate for animated themes has dropped. Animations are now slower and not smooth.

I noticed after both OTA FW upgrades I have made so far, that the first time I opened the menus after the upgrade, it took a very long time, but after that initial menu opening, it returned to its normal menu speed.

Good news for 3UK subscribers as I'm right now in the middle of updating the firmware on my 3 branded K800i , about time too
Firmware for 3 now reported as: R1EJ001
Feels like a new phone, the menus and thumbnails respond like lighting now and connection to the PC seems to be more responsive too. only hope that Sony can give the user more control of photo compression

I sent SE an email when the firmware wouldn't update properly for Orange UK.
I Gave them:
My current firmware
the one I was updating to
my OS
what happened on SEUS
the resulting problem on my phone
what I thought was the problem
I got this back today (this happened about a week ago)
With regards to your enquiry, please provide further information as to the problems that you are experiencing so that we can offer further assistance.
If the Update service returns to the main screen then the Update has in fact completed on the handset.
Err, how about no, I told you it didn't reach 100%, it stopped and went back to the start. What more information do they need?

Video preview has also been sorted on mine as well after updating through SEUS. I first updated to R1GB via Wotan and the phone kept crashing on the video folder but after updating via SEUS its not crashed at all.
Just a little freeze when highlighting a video I did with the phone
