My phone is stuck with the stupid "operation failed" error when trying to access the games and applications menu. Is there any way to fix this WITHOUT using WOTAN etc.? (I Don't have a credit card.) I updated via SEUS from R1ED001 to R1KG001 without success. Master reset didn't work either. Can I use a offline flashing app to fix this? Thank you for your time!

hi there tranced...just wanted to know,i have EROM:R3A016...is it wise to upgrade it??i mean does anything change by upgrading erom???
thanks
Posted by tranced
@decay: upgrading erom will, imo, solve some problems that your phone would bring up in some future. if it's ok by now, leave it like that till it gives you some problem as the Operation Failed. and no, it wont change nothing else but the erom itself. wotan client does it for free.

Just use XS++ 1.68 and reflash your firmware. Get your firmware from topsony (post 20 message there). But beware all your personal data will be erased completely so backup your data first.

Let me just say to all you people that are saying that upgrading the erom will fix this problem, that it has nothing to do with the erom, it's the file system.
You have to re-flash the file system to fix this problem.
There are guides to this on this forum, i did it last night and it's all fixed up now.

Flash your filesystem. These days when XS++ flashing is supported is very easier to try flashing the firmware first without messing with the EROM as it is a bit risky.
You can flash your phone with offline tools like XS++.
And btw, you don't need to download firmwares only from topsony.com...
There are plenty of K800 firmwares here:
http://www.iprotebe.cz/ (registration is needed but it's free and don't require posting or waiting...)
All are there, waiting for you, ready to go in your phone

Guys, can anyone help ME?
You see, a friend of mine has the K800 but for a month or two now, every time she tries to install a game or application, she gets this error.

So I'll need to to download the europe2 firmware and only flash fs?
Will I lose my 007 customization and
what are the odds of bricking?

You can brick the phone if you stop in the middle of the flashing process, but can be repaired if you flash it again...
Posted by DBE
So I must only tick "flash file system", no need to flash main and cust. Can I use any region or only EUROPE_2. What is the "RED" in the firmware archive?
Thanks!

I've been plagued with a K800 that I keep sending back to be fixed. They keep fixing certain aspects (corrupt text messages, rebooting) but other problems still persist and this is one of them.
If you don't want to actually re-flash, I've found that this problem only occurs when you try to download java applications and install them over the internet connection on your phone. I downloaded the files to my PC and copied them over and this worked fine. Give it a go.
That said, does anyone have the Google maps .jar or other files that they can point us to? I can't get to the download page from my PC - it only likes using autodetect for your version as far as I can see.

Hi DBE,
Which method did you use? (Firmware fashing or Filesystem flashing) Can you please share the files you used? I have the same problem for over two months now and online updates haven't worked for me either.
Also would be really great if you can point me to a *newbie* guide to replicating your methods.
Thanks a ton!
Regards,
Rahul

do i need to flas elsewhere? ive flashed my phone on SEUS

@Rahul & bronxdude
xs++ phone flashing tutorial:
http://www.esato.com/board/viewtopic.php?topic=156090
Access the service menu on your phone:
At the main screen( the screen with the clock,date,wallpaper,) with keypad unlocked:
push joystick right
press the star* button
push joystick left twice
press star again
push joystick left again
(Ignore the shortcuts that might activate while doing the above, just continue)
A service menu will now pop up. Goto service info > software info
The top line should read: R1KG001
Check the line above the FIRST "Memory Stick" line, (eg. mine is EUROPE_2), write this down. This is the region for the file system firmware you will need to download
Finding the links to the firmwares is the hard part,
I found mine @ http://www.iprotebe.cz :K800_R1KG001_FS_CENT_EUROPE_RED52
Although this is FS FW is actually EUROPE_4 (and not EUROPE_2) it worked fine on my phone.
Good luck!

SEUS is 'part' flash thah is why your contact/data is preserve (and why your problem is not resolved). Use XS++ to do complete flash where it overwrites everything on your phone (your data will be gone as well).

Mine was FS CHINA i put FS EUROPE_3 lol worked as well.... although i still cant figure out why I only got english as the only language..?
Posted by tranced
EUROPE_3=>English - Danish - Dutch - French - German
if you only get english, you need to go to menu=>settings. in the general tab, look for Languages=>writing language and then select all the languages available
i may be wrong as i dont have a k800
Posted by DBE
To get more languages, choose the correct build-in cust. in XS++ that matches the FS you've flashed.
