I think that may be a "standard response". I was involved in an email conversation with SE for about 6 weeks as there was a problem with updating the K700i on Orange using the SEUS. Their final response was that it's impossible to find the cause. Now I have unbranded and I am so pleased.

Update service over the internet is a hit or miss. Sometimes it will even make your phone useless.

Probs using SEUS from UK - enter all details battery charged etc and click next, window blanks and text at bottom of explorer says Applet Started but nothing happens.
Tried stopping Firewall, Privacy etc but no luck
Any ideas???

Try updating to the latest version of Java. Go to www.java.com and click the "Java Software Download" button.
Let us know how you get on.

cheers - updates Java and works fine now
updated from R2Y / 3.9 to R2AE/ 3.10 camera software
Still cant access the shortcuts menu - think Orange have customised phone to disable them. - why?

@ Orange K500
I'm glad you got it sorted.
You're absolutely correct about Orange disabling them. I didn't realise how much Orange ruin the firmware until I unbranded my Orange K700i about a week ago. It's so much better now!

how do you unbrand SE phones - is it like unlocking or is this separate
A bloke down the car boot was charging 10 quid to unlock but I didnt ask (know) about un-branding
any advice welcome...

i am trying to get my phone debranded, have the software, the credits, a dss 25 with the patch installed (i think) but it still wont work, phone is now dead. any suggestions?

@ Orange K500
It's a completely separate thing to unlocking. £10 is a bit expensive, but that's the going rate to get someone else to do it! To unbrand, I used SE Tool, but I don't think credits are being sold anymore. However, you can use DaVinci or TMS to the same effect. Basically, it involves flashing the phone with the main firmware file and the file system, which will remove all branding.
