I've been trying to upgrade my firmware for a while... My K800i is on the old R1JG001 and I notice that there is alot of firmware versions after that...
But when I go to update on SEUS, it says mine has the latest version! LIES!
I think part of the reason could be that it says my phone's firmware is a Hong Kong firmware. Would there be a way to install the latest, say, USA firmware onto it?

Phone Flashing Tutorial XS++
Posted by fraseyboy
Thanks for that tutorial. So can I flash it with a custpack for a different CDA (say the generic europe one) and change the phone, or does it have to be the same CDA that the phone has?
Thanks.

it's preferible that you use a CDA that matches your region. if your in europe, you should use a cda from europe so it wont make any problems with the languages.

Well you see, I'm in New Zealand but my phone was purchased in Hong Kong...
So as long as it displays english I don't really mind...
The custpack for the CDA my phone is right now is quite hard to find... The only place it is at is topsony and I don't have 20 posts yet

and what cda is that?
Posted by fraseyboy
CDA102511/85 R7A is my phones CDA. It doesn't seem to be anywhere.

well, i cant find it either. get a firmware from europe 1 and use a cda from europe 1 as well. i think xs++ has that cda.

Oh well. Thanks for looking.
The Main I got is 'MAIN_GENERIC_WI_RED52'. The FS is 'FS_CENT_EUROPE_RED52' and the custpack is
"CDA102568_207_R2A_GENERIC_CENT_EUROPE".
Do these all match properly?
Posted by tranced
those are ok. before flashing, check your phone is CID52 because this firmware is for CID52.

I flashed my phone and everything works perfectly now!!!
Thanks for all your help

I have the following Sony Ericsson Mobile Phones:
K310i, W200i, W610i, k550i, k800i
None of these will update via the SEUS as they say they have the latest firmware/software (the K800i has had to be updated through o2 uk (the network its locked too and now has the latest firmware).
My friend has updated his K550i using FOTA (he also could not update via Seus with the excuse that it had the latest Firmware/Software).
If you contact Sony Ericsson they claim that nothing is wrong with their website that it has the latest firmware/software downloads and your only choice is to post your phone in for update which means out of warranty you have to pay which is not good enough (seems like a SEUS con to me and my friend).
Comments please at the situation.
