i just remember before when it was already up to date it said your device is already up to date. now it says there is no service for devices on your operator. does anyone else on orange UK get this?
cheers

Normaly when this happens, it is down to SE updating there software update on the server.

Orange havnt blocked any updates so just hang tight

Hi, I'm in Venezuela and I've got a K700i, I've tried several times to update its firmware from R2AE0033 to the latest (the one SEUS downloaded to C:\Archivos de programa\Sony Ericsson\Update Service\software-data was indeed R2AY004) but I haven't been able to do it, every time it's about to start I get the error message "Error communicating with the device" and shuts the whole thing off, and then tells me to remove and reinsert the battery. I hit start over and do it again and get the same message. Has this happened to anyone?
I know it makes no difference but I've tried in SEUS Venezuela, SEUS UK and SEUS Spain.

I forgot to say, I already tried uninstalling and re-installing both the SEUS software and the DSS-25 drivers. Which by the way I've never known what the difference is between the ones that are available (P900/P908 and P910 drivers). I ended up keeping P910 drivers, but DSS-25 works on both with FMA

I had a few months ago the same problem. The solution was for me : master reset before update via SEUS. After that it worked like a charm. Hope this helps ..




Posted by pedrojec
Already tried that, didn't work either. Thanks a lot though, I guess I'll just keep trying

Just updated firmware to R2AY004 via SEUS, unbranded K700i, Serbia, Mobtel Operator

Not just one visible change but it's working flawlessly as ever

yeah, i also have the same problem as pedrojec, but earlier today, i just upgraded an unbranded k500i with firmware R2AA to R2AE033... no problems whatsoever with that upgrade, only with the k700i upgrade. good news is that, the phone is still operational after the error message appeared...

Posted by carkitter
Bought K700i with R2A041 in Oct 04.
Phone would lock up occasionally, began to get much worse recently.
Upgraded Firmware to R2AE033, problem solved.
Speaker began to distort after upgrade, Master Reset fixed this.
Anyone else had this problem??

i can't even update at the moment , i keep on getting this after i tick the 5 checkboxes and press next:

Uh oh!

@cornholio_666:

i had the same problem two days ago; i downloaded the lastest JRE (Java Runtime Environment) from Sun's official website (the makers of Java). give it a try and see...

Posted by Cornholio_666
i downloaded the latest a few days ago too

Posted by pedrojec
I keep getting the same problem, "Error in communication with the device", tried updating Java, even tried in another computer with my DSS-25 and still nothing. So I tried with a K500i with R2A0E33 (unlocked and unbranded) and it was even worse, I got the message "There is no update service for your operator" or something like that. I'm beginning to think it may have something to do with the fact that both phones were unbranded with DaVinci, has anyone been able to use SEUS after unlocking or unbranding the phone with DaVinci? Thanks again...

Posted by Cornholio_666
i keep getting there is no service for devices belonging to your operator, after un locking with semc tool. was previously locked to orange. is there a way to flash the phone with the firmware files that were downloaded from seus before i unlocked the phone, for free?
cheers

I have absolutely no idea which one of the many things I did was the one that made it work, but I FINALLY UPDATED THE FIRMWARE OF MY K700i! (R2AE033 to R2AY004). In case anyone wants to give a try to all or to some of them, here they are. I installed everything from the CD that came with the phone (I had never used it before but in the FAQ it says you must have PC Suite installed, not really sure if that's true), then installed some Sync Station for K700i program I downloaded from SE website, allowed all cookies, changed the internet security settings (Microsoft Internet Explorer) to LOW, disabled Norton Auto Protect (Norton Antivirus 2005), and played around with whatever "Java Console" is (don't really remember what I did there, but it is in Tools->Java Console in Internet Explorer).
Some of the things I did (or maybe all of them!) sound really stupid but hey, give me a break, I was desperate!
Thanks everyone...

I would not recommend others try this method as you will leave your pc vulnerable to attacks. All you need install for the SEUS is the drivers for DSS-25. You do not need to install the PC Suite / Syncronising software as reccomended in the SEUS faq. Although you may want to to test that the DSS-25 is working ok. I did not bother and it worked fine.

Once the DSS-25 is installed just run from the website. IE will ask to allow the SEUS software to be installed and aslong as you agree to this you should not have to change any other settings on your IE.

Posted by pedrojec
Sure you got a point there but I had done all that several times and still got the error message so I thought it was worth giving a try lowering the security settings in my computer (temporarily, of course) as sometimes it's helped with other stuff. Right now I think that's what made it work and not the other things I did but I guess I'll never know (or maybe I'll find out next time there's a new firmware update at SEUS!)

Posted by xhanatos
i was having problems with SEUS as well, so instead of using IE, I used Mozilla Firefox and that worked flawlesly.

Posted by bertfelin
i am just wonder if sony ericsson not gonna release any new firmware version for k700 anymore, coz since late time it's already 2 months!!!

Posted by feffe
Hm... But SE were never that quick on putting up new firmware.
I've been waiting for 8 months for an update to my Telia-branded phone! Nothing wrong with the branding itself, but I'm getting pretty frustrated not being able to enjoy the nice things the updates brings, like FAST picture loading for example!

Btw, did anyone see or here about a firmware update for Telia-branded K700's on SEUS? Or do I have to go to a service center and get the job done there?

Just managed to upgrade my partners K700i (unbranded) from R2L001 to R2AY004. Seems to work ok - no reported problems so far!

Posted by Batch_2002
Just upgraded to R2AY004 via SEUS and have a couple of problems. I have an unbranded phone.

1. Super real tennis is corrupted - "application error". Is there anywhere I can get this online?

2. The "internet services" icon is missing, when selected it appears, when deselected a black square appears where the icon should be. Any ideas?

I performed a master reset after the update

you can get super real tennis off of the wapsite

Posted by smjohns
I doubt there will be many more updates after R2AY004. Most people are now moving onto K750i


Posted by drdeepankar
Just wonderimg.....mojo_jojo didn't have any probs from R2L001....Could the hangups and bugs be rrelated to the no. of upgrades the phone has taken, or maybe the initial firmware to start with?

Posted by O2 K750i
@All

Anyone used SEUS to flash K700i on Vodafone or Orange (both UK) to R2AY ?


Posted by Cornholio_666
@O2 K750i i keep getting there is no service for devices belonging to your operator for my orange k700. still stuck on r2ae

Posted by O2 K750i
@Cornholio_666

Same here - I guess Orange have blocked R2AY for time being.

Hi,

hv just upgraded firmware to R2AY004.
I noticed that when put in silent mode, snapping pic with camera is quiet now, no more ugly sound.....

Posted by Cornholio_666
yes, my phone finally got updated to R2AY, but still that godawful camera noise. and apart from up and down i can make my own shortcuts (unfortunately still orange branded though)

Posted by darrengf
I have Tried again to download the latest update for the Orange K700i (uk) and it worked with out any problems.
Orange users are now able to download the latest version of R2AY004 by using the SE updated service.

Whats more interesting. Orange users now get 2 set shortcuts on the joysitck of left and right.

The other icons are still there, but its great that i can set a shortcut to bluetooth now.

No problems reported with anything else.

Hope this helps

Do they have the Orange R2AY004 update in the Carphone Warehouse Service Centres yet?

Posted by Avinash
There is a new firmware for K500i (R2AT003) on the SEUS. I have just upgraded to it. Haven't found any differences yet. Will let you know about any when I find them.

Posted by mwarner
See the first post for details of R2AT

Posted by mikeleonardo
i upgraded to R2AY004 FW but still i have these uglt cam sound even on silent mode. why???

Posted by CoolMeEddy
I tried to download some sort of software update (never done that boefore lol) and it won't even give me the listing for that ... doese that mean i can't upgrade my phone to a younger software ... I have the very first one and I would like to do that. Any suggestions where I could get it and whether I could do it on my own - cuz in my country no one doese it, I asked in several shops and they just stared at me like I'm some kind of nutt, they didn't even know that u can upgrade phones software ... weirdos

Holla back

Posted by CoolMeEddy
Oh, and one more thing, if I update my software do I lose all of my info on the phone, like ringtones, pictures, contacts etc. . .?

Posted by hazart
@CoolMeEddy:

Using SEUS, you won't lose anything on your phone unless accidents occur in rare circumstances.

Posted by CoolMeEddy
Yeah, I did the update and every thing went great ... even better then I expected ... really cool features poped out Thnx for help.
