K750 / W800 Firmware Overview

Click to view updated thread with images


Posted by volcomjerk
Im not sure if this question has been answered already but I wasn't about to shift through 320 pages and I tried searching but I couldn't find an answer to my specific problem.

I'm trying to flash my phone through SEUS II and I have a W800. I sucessfully installed the USB Flash drivers for the phone and SEUS recognizes my phone. However, I only get as far as the "Now release the C key" screen. After, that it just sits there for about 2 minutes and then returns to the beginning.

Anyone else have the same problem or can you point me in the right direction on how to get this fixed?

Thanks!

Had the same problem with K750i and here`s the solution: download SEUS 2.2.11b from http://www.megaupload.com/?d=XJE5TKMX, uninstall the 2.2.17b, install this 2.2.11b and flash your phone

Note about R1K001 Firmware. I think its the old firmware because the Camera Version is 4.4 and in R1A008 its 4.5 so R1K001 must be old

I tried to delete the db folder in the update Service folder and now it works, a new db folder was downloaded (took some time though) when i restarted US... works for version ...7b

Posted by sushiboy
Yes, at last I did also manage to update with newest SEUSII!

Just do as he said, DELETE the "db"-folder in the Sony Ericsson Update folder and it will download the proper files and get pass step 6!

Good luck!

BTW. In my opinion, the MP3-low-level noise is still there and hasn't been corrected, or as far as I see it they just removed the absolutely lowest volume tab. (and of course I double checked several of the MP3s on other players and in computer and they haven't got that noise)

But, the pictures look a bit more clear (not so many blue spots) when shooting in dark! That's great news!

Is there any program that makes playlists for the music on your computer so you won't need to do it by yourself in the phone?

How could I unbrand my k750? I did an update, just to get rid of those ugly orange icons, but it didn't work, still orange branding...

Posted by RTouris
The only way to get rid of the ugly Voda icons is to debrand using DaVinci, or TotalStation. Updating does just that, puts the respective latest version of the fi/w in the phone, which -in the case of Vodafone- is carrier-specifc.

Posted by b3rx
wooooooot!!! after a couple of months waiting... i finally decided to make an update! and it worked!

my K750i is now updated!

Posted by k750EYE
I just had my phone de-branded from vodafone R1C004 after it was flashed it has R1K001. I would like to update it, i have tried the update service but it says no updates avalable, is there a way i can download firmware and drag n drop it from my pc to my phone or get past this problem, i dont have paypal or a credit card so i cant use pay services.

Just updated to R1AA008. The hissing sound is still there for me too, just as much as before the upgrade.

This is especially noticeably/irritating when playing music on low soundlevel or when playing audio books. The RDS radio seems is crystal clear, but when I switch to the WALKMAN I can hear the low hissing even when no music is being played. I guess I will try to return my w800i. This is not an mp3-player.

hey guys check this reply regarding the hissing in the current F/w.

Dear JP,

Thank you for contacting the Sony Ericsson Call Centre.

With regards to your enquiry, thank you for your feedback regarding the firmware we have released for your Sony Ericsson W800i. With firmware version R1AA008, we have not experienced the issues you have described. Please try updating your handset through our online update service, located on our website under the support page for the Sony Ericsson W800i. Once you have done this please reply with the results. If your handset still experiences the same sound quality issue, this may be due to the source of the sound/video clips. Try the play back of these clips on a PC that does not use background noise reduction software on playback. This will help you identify if the recordings are of poor quality. Please note sound/video clips taken outside may include a certain amount of background noise that will sound like hiss interference. This is most likely not interference but noise from air passing over the microphone (wind).
IF this advice does not help resolve these issues, please contact us on **** *** *** so one of our agents can advise you of our warranty repair service.

Should you require any further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact us again for further help and support.

"With firmware version R1AA008, we have not experienced the issues you have described." Really. I have hissing problems with my w800i and R1AA008. And I don't think it has anything with the mp3-samplingrate to do. All my files is used in my iPod and my PC (mediaplayer) without any hissing sound.

Posted by aremaboy
Well,K800 is about to come..SE firmware makers are all busy improving the new phone f/w..so they might forget the hissing sound,the corrupted theme and so on..the only ways: take your phone as it is now or buy the upcoming phones. Sad,isn't it..

Posted by sushiboy
yngvewb,

Just read your post and that's just sad! I have the k750i and I had that hissing problem from the beginning (R1N035) and after the newest update it's still there. I could understand if it would only regard the k750i and not W800i because the W800i is called as a real MP3-player and the k750i is not, but it's just crap that a company tries to sell a product as a "MP3-player-phone" and it doesn't even perform equally good compared to the cheapest budget mp3-player on the market.

Please Sony Ericsson, correct your mistakes, because customers can't afford buying a phone for upto 400dollars just to be told to buy a newer model!

Hmmm. If that's the case, then that tells me that it's NOT the firmware. I think that we really need to consider the variation of hardware pieces in the legacy of SE K750i (and W800i) - there is obviously room for in the equation for shoddy hardware pieces (speakers, resistors, etc.) and I think that needs to be taken into account.

What if a batch of bad resistors or diodes got caught up in the production process? What if someone accidently threw in some brown brown red resisitors in the assembly line bucket instead of red red red ones?

I don't think that we should assume firmware here, that's all I'm saying.

Especially when you consider the observation of this thread (and site) which indicates the collection of people with the K750i/R1AA008 combination, not all of who are experiencing the problem.

That's just my $0.02 (CDN) of course.

Can I update my firmware with a mac?

I've never needed drivers or anything for the mac to recognise my k750, but I can only find a windows update program on seus.

Thanks,

Posted by Xugaa
so i get from all these posts, the hissing problem is real bad...
i have a k750 on the r1aa008 firmware and do not have a hissing sound at all, even not with the r1n035 firmware which i must say was full of bugs and problems. i guess i'm a lucky one.

Posted by Xugaa
so can anybody say if another firmware is coming out or not?

Posted by huggons1
I am still unable to update my k750 i on Orange. I am told that there is no available update, even though I am using R1N035. I have tried using tdUpdateService_Inst_2.2.11b. And I have also tried deleting the DB folder. I have aslo tried UpdateService_Inst_2.2.13.7b, but still have the same issue!

Any thoughts?

Steve

Despite the fact that the SEUS II update executable is heavily based on Java and Flash content, it uses proprietary APIs to access the handset's firmware only to be found on the Win32 basecode, so for now and the imminent future I wouldn't hold my breath...

Hi,
I Updated my K750i yesterday with UpdateService_Inst_2.2.11b.exe setup.
But it failed twice at the very end,(almost about to finish stage, when the progress bar in flash was near end), But my phone now shows R1AA008 in Software info.before update it showed R1N035.
i want to know is it fully updated or i have to reupdate it?

can anyone tell me how to test to verify that my phone is completly updated with R1AA008?

Posted by rockygali
you should test your phones all around performance.. try it out!

if the phone works without hiccups then its fine... dont worry about the meter gauges... maybe its a software problem with SEUS...

by the way.. SEUS II version c is out. go check it out!


cheers mate!

This is a known issue with all the SEUS II update clients. You might want to check your service menu for things like R1N035 under the customisation header that may suggest that the update didn't go through properly. Unfortunately there is no indication that there's something you can do at this stage other than wait for SE to post another new version of the update client (FYI .7c does not rectify this) or a new f/w version all together.

Posted by san_sd136
Hi ,

Thanks for the response!...
I did update using the 'c' version of updater and it got updated correctly..

Thanks.

I'm glad SE is still working on the w800i firmware! Did anyone tried it yet? I'm wondering what the difference is and if they fixed the Incorrect Parameter problem~ =_="

Posted by RTouris
It appears that the new firmware is also available for the k750...(yahoo search reveals at least one hit - safehouse.dk)

Interesting

Posted by pdub
Is this new F/W out now or will it be relased soon? I bet it takes Orange UK months tho.

Still having problems with my phone on 008.

Posted by mb-new
yep, it's out for K750 too at cruiser support site
but there're not so many FS files, only for America

Ok, that's what I thought. So what did people in this thread lately get so excited about? What's the firmware mb-new posted above?

Also, SEUS is supposed to update itself, right? We shouldn't, in theory, ever have to redownload SEUS once it is installed.. correct?

This is because there was a distinct feeling that with the release of the latest handsets and all the rest of the buzz and announcements SE would cease further development of the firmware for the K750 and W800...which obviously is proven to be not the case here...(at least in a beta stage)

Well...you' re mainly on the right path there, but you have to bear in mind that for the client to be self-updated sometimes you need to allow for a couple of days after the new one has been posted on the support weblink. Don't know the exact reasoning behind this, but rumour has it that since the updated versions are not rolled out globally, they allow for a cool-down period of probable issues with the latest version before the outdated client is given the green light to download the new one.

I Don't understand.

Odd.. I don't have that problem. Just installed the latest "c" version yesterday. My phone's already loaded with the latest firmware, but the SEUS loads and works just fine.
