When will Sony Ericsson include increased security measures to lock messages, files or just about everything like on Motorola? I wish someone with a say would make note of this to at least get it in future phones if it can't come in a firmware update. Time to catch up SE.

Try to do it yourself. Tool for this is already exist! Read at http://www.esato.com/board/viewtopic.php?topic=123260 As Russian user Vilko made break-through for Motorola patching so Russian user Darkmen made the same for SE!

I installed the latest Update Service Client,The latest Java Runtime Environment, and removed my MS DUO,BUT cnothing changes: whenever i hold the "c" button and plug in the cable, the damn phone just turns on.
I've updated my F/W 3 times before but this time i don't know what the problem is.
Do you have any Idea?

It's the SIM card you need to remove, not the Memory Stick!

Hello guys. I am trying to upgrade my w800 but I am stuck with Seus. I have installed the drivers-no problems there. When I hold C and plug the usb the software insists that I have to release C, which I have already done! Can anyone help me?

PS- Is THIS the right cable for the upgrade?

Read here. If unsuccessful - reinstall Windows.

How long is it supposed to take? Mine (K750i) is on "updating software, please don't touch the phone", the progress bar has been full for about 5-8 minutes, should I just keep it like that until it says it's finished?

Posted by aremaboy
NEVER TOUCH THE PHONE WHILE UPDATING, OR YOUR PHONE WILL BE DEAD. 5 -8 minutes idle? That sounds scary..

Posted by paternoster
SEUS downloaded an update (dated 08/06) I tried to update and had the same. (updating software, please don't touch the phone", the progress bar is full) I just killed the application after 25 minutes.

HappyKhan, reinstalling windows is a cop-out answer. It is an utterly lazy response to a problem that is rather trivial. The issue is between SEUS and the driver for the DCU-60 cable. Uninstalling both the driver and SEUS, followed by re-installation with the most recent versions will see the problem solved. If not, rinse and repeat with a healthy number of reboots.

Eventually it'll work.

Scary indeed, but I ended up removing the cable, turned it on. Seems ok, firmware was updated to the last version.
Java games ok (im j2me developer)
media player ok (listened to an audiobook while coming to work)
camera ok (took pictures of a building on fire once I got to work)

I reinstall Windows for 6-7 minutes. So it's easier for me than looking for bugs case.

All I did was simply disconnect the cable, turn the cellphone on, then checked the firmware version inside, it was updated.
After you remove the cable, what happens? At first, the phone seemed like it wasnt going to turn on. I removed the battery for 1 min and tried again.

Guys which have Sony Ericsson W800i !!! could you please tell us which firmware are you talking about that you updated your phone with for today ?? 8 june ??

Is it : R1CA021

or its: R1BC002

this question to people who used SEUS today ..

@ holysin
@ dchky
@ paternoster

Please answer us so we start to update our W800i mobiles ..


Posted by paternoster
R1BC002 is still the latest firmware for W800. Still waiting and keeping my hopes up ...

Posted by holysin
Mine is R1CA021 , but it's a K750i (forgot to mention)

Posted by aremaboy
I wonder why W800 R1CA021 isn't released soon-or is it never? SE tries to make a specific phone,remember? SE has turned K750 camera version to 5.3, which is a must for an 'IMAGING' phone. But W800 is a 'MUSIC' phone,isn't it? SE may think W800 doesn't deserve the camera improvement..and the Walkman is already 80 %bug-free. Or is it because W810 has replaced W800-so SE says: buy it to get more!

Posted by baoiboy
is anybody getting an error message while updating their k750i? right at the last bar the update stops & it says (error: update failed pls try again). i tried again for many times but still the same.

i checked the fone & the software version has been updated but now the camera won't open, it says (wrong camera driver version, pls update camera to 4.5 or later). the music player has some problems too.. this i think is because the update did not finish successfully

can anyone pls help? i know there are lots of u here who are experts on these things

Posted by rockygali
too bad... i think you better resort to third party servers... like davinciteam.com i dunno my phone was kinda like yours first time i tried to do an update via SEUS... and later ive found out that the SEUS version i was using really sux... so i waited for new ones to arrive... but during that period i tried davinciteam.com and it worked.. it updated my phone tho i shed some dough. are you in Manila?

Posted by aremaboy
@baioboy
do master reset, and update once again. Back up all data first. If it fails again,reinstall Windows. A full-flash by SE service centre is the final way out.

Hey guys,

Cheerss

Hi Doctor

There are no noticable changes between 4.5 and 5.3, i'm sorry to say. Take a look at the first post for a more thorough overview of the differences.

so.. my question is.. IS IT TRUE~~~@!!!!???
CAN someone PLEAS test it, IF YOU HAVE R1CA021 put your phone in silent mode and make a picture.. LISTEN CAREFULY.. DO You hear SOMETHING?

The camera sound has nothing to do with the firmware version in this case. It depends on what region you are in if your phone has forced camera sound or not.

I have a W800i from Denmark and I have no camera sound in silent mode - it depends on your region.

dude forgive me for bein this pesky... but i want to hear your opinion with regards to this cam version driver update to 5.3

whats the reason behind it... and what is the ultimate purpose of that update if we cannot see changes happnin with our cam.

Posted by aremaboy
R1CA021 APAC_1 Indonesia has no camera sound when put in silent mode. Nice..

Posted by dchky
Hi Aremaboy, The K750 and W800 are, for the vast majority of purposes, identical phones. What defines the main function of each is only a matter of firmware.

SE don't want you to purchase one phone over another, they want you to stay at the bleeding edge and buy all of them. Even if the differences are only a few tweaks to a plastic injection moulding machine somewhere in china and a few new lines of code.

I don't think it intirly correct,

In other parts of the world they use the same phone, except they have other version of the firmwire.

I have read onether thread where it's described how you can gain acces to the phone's file system and change almost every piece of software including shutting off the camera sound.

whew! i thought i really f**ked up my fone. turned out it only needed a master reset (reset all) for the update to get through. after i did the master reset & started the update again i thought it will still get stuck at the last bar! but thankfully it went through. tnx 4 all ur suggestions, really helps

What halfster wrote is entirely correct.
There are customized firmwares for several regions of the world, in regards to camerasound being off when in silent mode. This is due to regional laws that some places does not permit to have silent mobile cameras.
Has been so in S//E phones for years. This is nothing new or nothing strange.

Sure when you acces the hidden filesystem directly with the new software you can change that to your liking, but that has nothing to do with how the regional firmware is set initially.

hello ppl just a quick question i wanna change the CID36 color from Brown to RED with DCU-60 and also which is the latest and the most reliable firmware firmware for Sony Ericsson K750i which is least amount of bugs......... pls guys help will be appreciated

Posted by omnislash
guys pls anyone here to reply me

Posted by aremaboy
R1CA021,of course. No major bugs..

Posted by DTEG
Emailed O2 about their plans to release R1BC002 (or better) for W800i, and of course they were quite unhelpful. First time they said to contact Sony Ericsson. I replied explaining how network-specific firmware customisation works, and their reply said to contact my local O2 shop. Like they're going to be able to help. Shame, when O2 were (according to this site) the first and still the only UK network to release R1BC002 for the K750i, that they're neglecting the W800i.

Posted by saveirogti
Yeah, they were quite unhelpful for me too.
SE told me that the sweedish server (where the firmwares checker is) check the necessity to upgrade the firmware, and if the server thinks is not necessary , you wont be able to upgrade to R1BC002 =(
It seems that the firmwares has versions too, like some one told it.

Thats =(
And i dont wanna pay for the cable to upgrade it w/ SeTool..

I think we should make some mass e-mails complaining about that and send it to SE heheh

It's O2 I'm grumbling about, not SE, in this case. I'm sure they can be as bad as each other, of course.

Spoke to "The Link" yesterday - problems with K750/W800 joystick are well known and resulted in a redesign for W810 - dust gets into joystick and leads to intermittent joystick which in turn causes some folks to force the joystick thereby snapping the plastic stick. Be warned! P.S. - our Dyson works wonders in removing the dust without snapping the joystick.

He also said that problems with N-series Nokia's are well known and as a result he could order the handset but required full payment before ordering. The Link's policy is to allow users to purchase but keep no stock of N-Series. No exact details but software problems across the whole N-series. This explains why O2 still don't do N80 and CFW have limited stock.

His suggestion was to wait for K800 rather than any Nokia even with the problems SE have had with K750. So - looks like another SE then even though I had set my self for the N73.

HELP!

I think my firmware update has got stuck on the 'Updating software - Please do not touch the phone' bit. The green bar is completely full and the update has been going forever... I'm worried that I will screw my phone up if I take it out, since there is no cancel option on the update screen.

WHAT SHOULD I DO?!

NEED HELP 'ASAP' PLEASE...!



Posted by Mailman13
Mine just did the same thing for hours. I just decided to do a "safely remove hardware" then remove it from the usb and it updated just fine.

I've used SEUS many times and I was a little worried because this was the first time this has ever happened.

Good luck.
