little helps
Posted by Coxy
From what I can tell theres not much difference between the firmware. So does anyone recommend waiting until the W800 is released then seeing what davinci has to offer?
Posted by Ibinco
Im going to wait for davinci as i have no other choice. I guess its the smart thing to do. By then we will know more bout the bugs and all.

Had my K750i flashed to W800i, but just got it "re-flashed" back to K750i.
The reason is that there is nothing that makes it worth it (except the Flight mode, which is not really Flight mode but a Music mode as the Organizer etc is not available in Music mode) and the fact that the firmware is still buggy.
Also, it seems not possible to update the phone after the W800i is finally released.
Plus the lack of USB-driver for the W800i right now = no sync with the PC etc...
And one can not change the shortcut to the Music player (between the soft keys). I like the way it is on the K750i.

Bearing in mind the amount of problems with the various k750 firmwares, is the w800 firmware more stable/does it have any known problems? If it runs totally problem free, that in itself would make upgrading to w800 firmware worthwhile.

It wouldnt suprise me at all to find that both phones firmware share the same code base and thus the same bugs.
Posted by starkisttunalover
I am very happy with my conversion..also you can do it through totalserver now
Posted by ffdiablos
starkisttunalover, have you found any bugs? What's totalserver?
Posted by ajsimeon
i didn't know you could do it on your own now. yeah what is totalserver.

Posted by Phantasm4489
Can totalserver do the k750 to w800 conversion via the standard k750i usb cable, or do you need to use a different cable?
Posted by Primie.uk
Total server looks promising, how does it work, it has no information at all how they do it?

@ ronymd - Sorry for taking so o o long to reply - didn't see your post!
questions on k750i to w800i flash:
1) hows the speed overall?
2) camera quality including pics, and videos, the dpi, pixels, etc.?
3) music quality? media player?
4) battery consumption? and during music only mode?
5) voice/speaker, during a call?
6) gprs?
7) how do u sync? since no pc suite for w800 yet (will the pc suite for k750i work?
OK:
1) IMO, I feel the navig is smoother/slicker now.
2) Quality on par with K750i - camera is the same (CMOS sensor using
version 4.4)
3) I tend to think that the mp3 playback is all round 'richer' in sound.
4) Batt life improved in 'Music Only' mode.
5) Earpiece volume on par with K750i R1J/R1L FW.
6) Only O2 user will experience GPRS/MMS probs until new W800i FW
is released.
7) Sadly, no sync until W800i drivers become availble. (Some links are
appearing on forums but they seem to be drivers for the newly
released W800c
I hope this helps .. ^__^

you mean once you have upgraded to w800 you can't communicate with your pc and so can't return to the k750 fw??
Posted by gbrooks3
W800 drivers released long ago, working with W800i.

Surely the supplied USB cable is suitable for firmware upgrades, as it is used on the SEUS website when doing an official update... ther eis a client on davinci website which says it can be used with the cable, and I have connected it up, and it will read the info from the phone - so it must work..??
All I need now are the w800 firmware files!!! I think???
Posted by Hajaz
davinci only works with official red w800 firmware, witch they dont have yet.
Posted by AndiTails
Just to wake this thread back up.
Converted my and a friends K750i's to W800i's today using totalserver.net.
Works fine, except of course we're both on O2 so MMS and WAP no longer work
But the bugs I had on the K750i firmware - even though updated - seem to be gone (forgetting shortcuts, etc).
Will see how it reacts with my BT Carkit tonight. K750i was being dodgy this morning, so let's see how the W750i does
I hope the L version comes out soon though, as I dunno how long I can last without MMS!
Interestingly, everything on the phone is wiped - apart from Bluetooth paired devices. Thought that was a little random! Saves me redoing the CK later I 'spose!
And before anyone asks, used the Cruiser cable, not the normal SE one - its not possible ok
Posted by AndiTails
Proof!
Posted by CruSifiXken
and you did this using the cable that was included in the Original K750i package?
Posted by numb
no, he wrote that he used a Cruiser cable, which is not the cable that comes with the phone. This is called DCU-60.
Posted by CruSifiXken
sorry, the small typing made me miss the sentince:-$
Where to find a cruiser cable?
Posted by AndiTails
I got my cable off eBay.
Brand new, from the States, Click here for the auction. Came in about 4 days too!
I got one with just the FastPort Sony-Ericsson end - but you can buy the complete kit with Nokia, old SE, Siemens, etc ends too.
Cruiser / Fighter - what's the difference!?!? lol
(Seems I got the Fighter one then! Hehe)

You can also flash a K750 to W800 with a TMS 2 in 1 cable which is much better because it does not require a seperate battery
Posted by DaMekon
Ive just got this cable, checked I had a full bettery... and it crashed half way through flash.. my phone is now useless...
Posted by adrianoliv
i flashed my k750 to w800i with R1K001 firmware about 2 weeks ago and till now, no bugs , but the camera version is still 4.4 which is a doungrade comparing to 3.8 soft version MY advice R1A044 is the best firmware yet regarding pictures and video , it has 3.8 ROMANIA

isn't flashing possible using the DCU-60 cable?
it's the usb-cable that is included in the K750i package...
what does this mean?
The circle says ''DCU-60 Fastport USB Cable''
[ This Message was edited by: CruSifiXken on 2005-08-21 14:00 ]
Posted by numb
yes, normal flashing is, but not the conversion from K750 to W800
For this you still need the Cruise cable
Posted by CruSifiXken

me too
Posted by maximum99
I think Davinci has released the k750i to w800i conversion on it's FTP for use with the standard USB cable. I however get an error when trying to flash my k750i. Can anyone figure this one out? Check the picture below it shows the w800i firmware under the k750i menu.
Posted by Ibinco
humm it looks promising ideed. Seems to be possible now yes. I also get the error.
Posted by Primie.uk
Thats Brown, you need RED to be able to flash with the K750i Standard data cable, how many times has this been posted? Don't you people read?
Posted by numb
no, this is the firmware for BROWN (developer ) phones, as explained many times in this and other threads you have to wait for RED firmwares to be released to flash your RED (retail ) phones
Edit: Primie beat me to it
[ This Message was edited by: numb on 2005-08-24 15:02 ]
Posted by maximum99
So why have they posted the firmware under the k750i menu saying that you can use the original cable?
Posted by hragsarkissian
When are they going to release the REd one ? I bought a crdit for nothing.
Posted by Primie.uk
So the save the credit and wait for RED firmware!
They left the brown Firmware up there for those who have the propper cable to flash the phone using the brown firmware.
Posted by numb
#maximum99
you can flash brown firmware using DCU-60, if you have a BROWN (developer) phone. If you want to flash brown firmware to red phone you need a different cable.
#hragsarkissian
For nothing ? well then its your own fault, cause this has been explained and debated over and over again in many threads. And Davince doesnt say anywhere on their site that you can flash w800 firmware on k750 using DCU-60, in fact they explain several places on their site that you cannot.
Posted by maximum99
@ Everyone
Well it looks like the Davinci team is close to getting the RED firmware out. I don't think it will be a long wait before SE will release the RED firmware if they have released the BROWN one.
Posted by hragsarkissian
Which firmware is newer for the W800 is it the R1K or R1J ?
Posted by maximum99
I think R1K is the newer version, as with the k750i R1J the W800i R1j had problems with o2 GPRS.
Posted by hragsarkissian
I get the part that you cant flash brown to red with a DCU-60.
But why ?
Will it be possible one day ?

one day yes
Posted by hragsarkissian
I converted the K750i to a W800i R1K, but when i take a picture there is no camera shoot sound and the autofocus sound. How do i get them back ? I never took them off.
