K700i SMS problem - Esato archive

Posted by dxcore
Today i was in SE Service to upload new firmware to my K700i. But... they told me it is blocked by T-Mobile, and they can't do anything. Ok. I only viewed there was my theme deleted, but i have it on my pc. Whe i uploaded it and tryed to receive SMS i've got "Too many messages. Try to delete some". But i don't have any msg on my phone! What to do? Please help!

Goto the file manager, select more-> memory status.

Scroll down to the messages option, if it says 0 messages then you need to go back to the service center.

If it doesnt say 0, select it that option, find where the messages are stored and delete them.

is your phone memory full?

I have now 41MB free, my phone says there are 0 messages. Maybe better idea is buy some logs to SE Client with cable and upload new (or repair this) firmware in home?

@govigov

The K700 has memory specifically allocated for SMS messages, it doesn't utilise the 41 MB internal memory for storing SMS messages, much to many users disappointment!

@dxcore

You could try upgrading your firmware at home, but I would suggest that you go back to the service centre first. If your K700 is indeed branded by T-Mobile it may very well be the case that you cannot upgrade your firmware with firmware, which hasn't been approved by T-Mobile for use on their handsets. If this is the case you will need to have your K700 debranded in order to utilise non-T-Mobile firmware.

I wan't to debrand my phone first, then upload new firmware (SE Client + T28 cable). Dou You think it's good idea? If then it runs? I don't want crap without sms-ing option ;/. BTW - Can i upload new fw without full battery? Or it doesn't matter?

You should be able to debrand your K700 easily enough, there are a few threads discussing debranding, you might want to have a look at them.

I don't think it matters if you have a full battery or not, a slong as your K700 has enough power to complete the process.

I bought today "Data Cable PC" for ericsson Txx (Com port, have all pins). I know this is no service cable but i can't found any other in my city (serached in 6 GSM shops). Do You think i can use it to upload fw?

PS. It's RS232
