Hi
Can some people please post their own experiences with flashing your SE phone on Wotan. I was hoping to get some detail on:
1. Phone Model
2. Settings which got lost after the upgrade (eg GPRS settings, SMS Msg Centre number)
3. Anything which no longer works after the flash
4. Could you get settings again from your provider?
5. Anything gained from the upgrade
5. Anything else worth saying
I'm trying to decide whether to de-brand and I just wanted to get some other people's comments on using Wotan. I don't want to risk trashing my phone if their is no hugh benefit.

You always can call your CS rep and have them send the settings for e-mail, mms, sms, etc. directly to your phone. This is the most reliable way.

I've used wotan quite a few times with the phones I've had (k750, w810, k790) and I'm totally satisfied. you buy your credits though paypal and get the log account instantly. you do lose your settings but just a call or web visit to your service provider and everything's fine again. fortunately, I know how to enter all my settings manually.

I am from Asia and seems my ISP can't get stable connection to wotan ftp server. I got 2 credits still unused and still waiting until all underwater optic cable in Taiwan has been fixed.

My friend has flashed his K750i to W800i successfully. Wotan is awesome. It would be more if it were totally free of charge..why doesn't Wotan release a free login for a member like me? Haha..just kidding..

yeah.. wotan is pretty good... if everything is working... it not their support is kinda slow

I assume that this will remove the annoying o2 startup and shutdown animations. The shutdown one seems to take a long time to stop for some reason.

i am from asia and i can not flash/debrand my k800i using the wotan client, it always returns an error message after downloading. this is the error message:
why is this so?

maybe a corrupted FS file on the ftp server.

Seems that some part of Asia still affected by Taiwan quake. Sometime I can't even go to wotanserver website (I can few weeks ago). I guess firmware file can be corupted while downloading.

I've seen some people having troubles lately. A few seem to have trashed their phones.
Maybe I won't bother

did my brand new bond k800i within 2 hours of it arriving.
never had any problems (apart from support) when using
wotan.

After much decision making I debranded and it worked great. I'm now the proud owner of a 850 with no o2 stuff on it.
I still have no online store link on my 'My Music' menu though for some reason.
Posted by MnM
Successfully debranded O2 from the main screen but the internet button still takes me to the O2 site. Can I get rid of this? Also there is no delay - I thought the latest releases had a couple of secs delay?
Any thoughts?

Used wotanserver twice to flash the firmware on my K800i and to update the erom, no problems whatsoever, the only downside being, you lose all the data that you put on the phone (pics, messages, apps etc..) and all the operator settings (mms, wap, email).
@MnM
AFAIK The delay only happens if you flash your phone using SEUS

Hello everyone,
after ruining my w810i with x s pl pl, decided to go with wotan, payment via kagi, and seems succesfull. The mail says I will receive pass in 2 hours. but no answer yet. DO you know if they are working on Sundays ?

It could just be down to network delay. Failing that, have you checked your junk mail folder? Some email providers think wotan's emails are junk.

Well, I flash my wife Z610i APAC. I change it to HGK language and use R1JC. I forgot to choose enable AMR so that is gone (aremaboy does not choose this as well with his K800 but AMR is still preserve). Got Play Now back (I use kulankendi Taiwan R1EJ before and Play Now was gone with that flash). But what rocks is that I now able to download and install apps/games from Fun&Download with Z610 like my K800.
This (FUn&Download install) does not work even when I first bought Z610. Can't bring it to service center since I bought it in Singapore and use it in other country. When I first use it SE send a message saying would I like to register the phone which I decline. Maybe this is the cause of the problem. Seems that wotan has put more certificate while customizing which seems to fix it. My wife Z610 now have similar certificate as my K800 (K800 always use SEUS).
