Phone stlil keeps turning on when plugging into the usb while holding c. what am i doing wrong
Posted by Deano1889
Darrengf,
what firmware were you on before the udate? Im on and orange branded unlocked R1a021 but cannot get the update to work.
Any ideas?
Posted by FerrisT610
just updated my K750i on Vodafone UK to R1J002, pretty painless procedure. practically no noticable differences except the menus seem a little faster. still has those crap Voda icons and the dire Voda branding in general.
at least now that this update procedure is now in place, maybe we can get a debranding service in the not too distant future.

New USB drivers - see the previous posts..
Posted by rambalu80
Can someone provide step-by-step information to go about the update please? I have installed the USB driver, but I still cant get it to work. Please help!
Posted by typerlover
Ive tried the new usb drivers. I plugged my phone in went intol device manager and uninstalled k750. Then unplugged then replugged and it automatically started recognizing the drivers and installed them and worked all over again. I was never given the option to reinstall through the found new hardware menu. Where do we go to completely remove the k750 drivers.

One thing I've noticed (and I've only actually tested one thing after the update), is that the Games menu operates much more smoothly now - no more lag while it loads the icons (which are also loaded faster)
(Afterthought: Ah, one of the reasons is that the highlight bar smooth scrolling has been turned off (in the Games menu only) - it just jumps from item to item)
Anyone know if there's any info anywhere on what has changed? First time I've seen a firmware upgrade without a list of issues addressed
Posted by reesy
@typerlover
Its not those drivers, when you do the whole plug in 'c' thing, one pops up in 'Other' briefly, 'USB - Flash', thats the one to update not the k750 ones
@theunknown04, pictures don't seem to have speeded up any...didn't have a blur in the corner before, so can't see a difference
Speaker does seem louder to me on MP, but couldn't say 100% definitely.

Alright, When I plug in and that pops up I install. But at the same time the phone is turning on so I don't know if that is causing a problem. Then Unplug and turn off and hold c again? I'll see what happens.

To get everything working I had to go to Sony Ericsson Belguim Site where you can download the Sony Ericsson Update USB driver from the K750i support page. Note this USB driver is completely different from the USB drivers for the K750i, this one will enable your PC to recognise the internal memory (flash) of the phone so that it can apply the update. It is clearly labelled as a USB Update Driver on the belguim site.
I had to go through the process on the sony site a couple of times, the 1st time I downloaded the update software, the second time I did exactly the same thing but because I had downloaded the software the first time it then loaded the update program (a java program) which you then follow the instructions.
You only need to hold the C button until the installation progress bar starts then you can let go, it takes a while to install (about 10 mins or less) If nothing happens then you need to install the flash drivers properly as it is likely that your PC is not recognising the flash drive inside the phone (note: the flash drive is not the same as your memory stick)

Not possible.
Posted by flanonthenet
typerlover and others who are still in diffs,
FIRST TRY:
Pop in your K750i software disk and run it. When you get to the options screen - choose to "remove" pc suite.
Once this is done, restart your pc.
Do not bother reinstalling pc suite at this stage, but do ensure you download the usb driver mentioned on this thread a couple of pages ago. It's zipped, so make sure you extract it to somewhere you'll remember.
Now try again to plug in your phone (switched off and holding down "c"). Hopefully you'll now get the "new hardware" dialogue. Navigate to the USB driver and that should do the trick.
IF THAT FAILS:
If that didn't work, go to device manager on your pc (right-click "my computer"; go to "hardware", then "device manager")
With device manager open, plug in the phone again (switched off, holding "c") and under "USB" you should see a "flash" device appear. It may only appear briefly. When it does appear, quickly right-click on it, go to properties; then "driver"; then "update driver"; and choose the driver mentioned above).

I have installed the USB driver for the update. Can someone tell me when exactly I should hold the 'C' button? I held the 'C' for installing the USB driver, but it doesnt work for the update.
Posted by darrengf
Ok we all seem to be jumping very fast ahead here, so all please slow down a little.
First of all, as previous said, it doesnt matter where you go for your update on line, If its France, Norway or UK. All the servers have the main K750i firmwares on, so if you bought your phone in Spain, Use it in Honkong you can still update with the UK site.

Next question. Orange icons are removed. I beleive that a few people sent the Phones back regarding the icons and this is why they have been removed. That doesnt mean they wont return in a later firmware update. Orange do listen to customer.
Voda and o2 icons are not removed. Voda use there Voda live icons on every phone no matter what. 02 customers have only generic icons just the o2 internet one is different.
To update you must follow the online guide. First of all, make sure you phone is charged. Then after a while you get a screen saying, initaltilise your phone. This stops the phone booting when you press C and insert the cable. This only works once tho, so if you havnt installed your corerect update usb drivers, you have to start from the begining again.
The start to finish take 15 mins on my machine.
Hope this helps

Turn the phone off for 20seconds and then hold the C button whilst inserting the data cable. hold until it starts to update (not too long)
Posted by rambalu80
@Riley
I did that, but no update started. I tried going into the SE website to start the update & it says my operator does not support it. My phone is unbranded though.
Posted by TheWhizz_68
All done with no problems on a sim free K750i, seems faster thru menu icons , sound in ringtone is still different to that of the media player quality,may be louder but im not 100% sure?
I'll try camera out in a min to see if any better in low light conditions.
Posted by flanonthenet
Am I right in thinking practically all the benchmarks are slower?
I'm also sad to report that the flaky bluetooth is still flaky. My HBH-300 still does not play nicely with the phone. I guess the priority was to fix the standby freeze..

@matta
Update Service doesn't work with a Mac, unfortunately. I had to use my parents' Windows pc to do it.

@ Flatonthenet
I read your previous post on how to install the USB Driver. I installed the driver successfully, yet the update does not work. Any thoughts or ideas on what I should do after the driver is installed, please?
Posted by flanonthenet
@ rambalu80
Sorry, the only other thing I can suggest is to restart your PC and try again
Maybe your phone requires a region-specific firmware that is not on the system yet.
Anyone else got any ideas?
Posted by darrengf
Yes my Itech Bluetooth Headset still doesnt work with the phone.. The phone menus are a load faster which is nice and th crashing seems to have gone, How do i know. Well i could get the phone to crash with half hour of using it, so far ive used it for longer and notihing. So i hope the next updates makes the bluetooth headsets work better.
Posted by TheWhizz_68
the beep sound on the auto focus has changed on my phone ?
Posted by darrengf
it may be that not all the firmwares have been placed on the servers.
Which countries were your phones purchased in?

I noticed that too. I was a bit confused first time around. Prefer the old one if i'm honest
Posted by rambalu80
Mine was purchased in the Netherlands and it has EU_3 on it. My battery was not completely charged (half charged), could this be the reason for not being able to update?
Posted by Rieley
Just noticed a Start-Up Screen under the display tab in options. New to my orange phone on this update!
Posted by Partybuster
No, EU_3 isn't available yet. I'm having the same problem. It just says it's not available for my operator. Other people report the same message.
Posted by flanonthenet
I know this is ridiculously off-topic, but just got a text message on my newly-flashed phone that the Michael Jackson verdict has been reached, if anyone's interested. It's due to be announced in 10 minutes.
Posted by darrengf
Yes i have also noticed that you can changed the start up scree now in Orange phones. Its in Settings, Display and there is the start up screen. Oh my god what next, Im soooo excited.
It does look like only EU1 is currenlty ava.

Apart from rhe software version than changed to R1A044 I cannot see anything different on my 02 "branded" phone. Any other 02 users see anything different ar know of any other changes?
Only changes I have noticed is that it reset to the default shortcuts and my own shortcuts now missing in action.

I think the java implementation has been improved. In the old firmware playing certain java apps and the media player at the same time would not work. But now it does
. The media icon has changed after flashing...
Posted by darrengf
Deano, Is the phone a Orange Generic One ?
i know that Orange are in a few countries and they were released at the same time ?
I never had the Start up screen in my phone before so it is something nice to be different.
Posted by Jools
@UncleBob. If your firmware is R1A044 AFTER the update then it hasn't worked - it should be R1J002. R1A044 is the original firmware

Sorry, I just noticed my typo. It was R1A044 and its now R1J002 after I did the update.
I was busy playing with the phone while typing my original post and did not proof read before submitting.
Thats what excitement does to you...
PS. This update really did my head in as I could not get the bloody thing to work, thats when I decided to RTFM and saw a post with a link to the Flash USB driver.
To think, like a schmuck I held the c button in all the time, although it jumped quickly from 60-ish % to complete...
