I'm tryiing this now, as my K800 has gone belly up, and I'm gonna try and install the new firmware.
Have downloaded WotanClient, and followd the instructions...
Switch off phone
Run WotanClient
clear password and login fields
hold 2+5 then connect the cable (computer recognises USB device connected)
release 2+5 keys, and click start on WotanClient
The status box in the client now says...
Connect your phone, pressing "C"
waiting...
phone found.
and nothing else seems to be happening, either on the phone, or on wotanclient.
How long does it normally take to re-install the firmware, and what should happen as it is doing it?
Thanks
I seem to have got this far, do you have to get a login and password to continue? Unfortunately I dont have a paypal account  |

I can keep , holding down 2+5 hearing the beep from my computer, releasing the keys, then pressing start button.
The screen says phone found (I think) and then what I guess is the firmware before quickly (less than half a second) changing to new screen saying:
Define login and password!
==FAILED==
Duration 00:01
I can then unplug the phone , remove battery, reinsert it, hold down keys, press start and the same happens. |

Yes, I have downloaded them, I already had them on the computer from when I have updated the firmware for the phone in the past.
Thanks for the help though!!

Are you sure you are following the correct steps?
Or did wotan change there settings?

I too have the same behavior: I have battery/SIM/memory removed, WotanClient runs, updates, I clear the login/password fields, click Start, insert battery, hold 2+5 on my K800i, and the log says:
Connect your phone, pressing "C"
waiting...
or, when I get a bit luckier:
Connect your phone, pressing "C"
waiting...
phone found.
phone found at position 1
DB2020 detected
CL00 CI00 OCI00 __ __ __ SL00 OCL00 __
LOADER: OK

Define login and password!
== FAILED ==
Duration: 00:00
My battery was almost full when I started. Don't know how much of it is left after having tried WotanClient about 20 times.
Have been trying WotanClient on XP and Vista, on Acer laptops. Had already installed SEUS and USB Flash Device drivers and rebooted the laptops.
Please help! Thank you people! |

i have sort of the same problem... when i plug my w300i without the sim card in to computer and with wotanclient 1.1.2 it recognizes the phone, and i select the settings i want and click start, but It just stays there and doesnt connect to the ftp. i have 2 credits, so it should work already if anyone can help it would be much appreciated. By the way, Does anyone have the older versions of Wotan that maybe you dont have to pay for? they seem to be working. But with this new version, holding 2 + 5 doesn't work for me. I hold down the C button on my phone and it gets detected.

Hi i am having the same problem as well and its the same problem with most people on this forum. Here is a screenshot of what i see,
http://img246.imageshack.us/img246/3491/wotanzz8.jpg
I followed the steps, I opened up wotan and cleared username and password, held 2 and 5 together plugged it into my desktop computer, clicked start and this is the screen i get for a long long time, it stays there for ever and does not change, tried waiting 30+ and nothing happens.
Anybody tell me my problem please? |

clear the login and password fields, press start, press and hold the 2 and 5 keys, then connect the cable.

Some xtra info regarding "master reset": If you have used the "quick access patch" and do a major reset your fone won't boot up because that patch messes up the main part of the fw. All that's needed is to re-flash the original fw again and bob's ur uncle. If u've never used this patch and you do a major master reset, it's supposed to reload the firmware from scratch, set factory defaults and u'll lose all info that was on the fone. If the fone doesn't boot up at all or red lights blinking, than it can only be a gdfs/erom error, in which case it's serious.

Yes i have tried that, as you can see in the screenshot i provided, but now for some reason when i connect it and hold 2 +5 together and press start while holding it, it says phone detected or something, but nothing happens from then onwards. Whats my problem? |

Well if its serious, what can i do to fix it? Can i not use wotan to fix it like everybody has suggested, since some people have had this and fixed it using wotan but wont work for me. And the problem only occured to me before, i was connecting my phone to the USB part via the cable, and it didnt recognize it because it didnt make the sound and didnt show up in my computer, and i click file transfer on the phone when you plug the cable in. And then i unplugged the USB and moved to a different port to see if it worked and all of a sudden my phone turned off. |
