Hello,
1. get yourself a good cable. Setool supports T28 SERVICE cable very cheap aswell.
2. Download Setool com port gui from http://www.setool.net
3. Have a look at the list of resellers on that site - pick one you like and purchase 1 credit from them.
4. You will recieve an email with your username password and server details - enter these into the Setool program.
3. Download the V800/Z800 R1X files from the setool support area.
4. Place the main firmware file in the Main firmware box.
5. Place the FS EU5 file in the File System Image box.
6. Check the Complete phone box.
7. Connect cable to computer and phone.
8. Press the Flash button
Be happy
Points to remember:
Battery must be fully charged
Use Xp if you can
make sure you have a service cable NOT data cable.
Speed must be 115200 baud for T28
Make sure you select the correct com port.

Yipppeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!
Finally a pure  phone without the sh*te, the Z800 drivers work as well.
Thank you to all those that worked on this, keep up the good work.
Now the only thing we need are the original V/Z800 housings and i can get rid of Vodacrap!
Anyone got leads on this yet?

Hello,
It is almost impossible to screw up your phone with firmware. Hell, you could probably flash nokia firware to it and still recover it fine. Have no fear Setool is a professional solution.
Yes, i will post the items you request when i get time.
Because the platform sends bogus messages while charging, that is why!!!..But why this change of heart?..We sense a charger connected, oops, we will not shut down after all!!!..*********************** UI BASIC, HOLD YOUR HORSES

I'm sorry but i deleted them right away. Trust me you are not missing anything good.
Oh and the Z800 comes with the full version of tennis. No alpha wing though.

Hi everyone!
I will do a search here and more widely....but is there a step by step guide posted anywhere, including which cable to buy??
I am one of those who would need an Idiots Guide!
I would like to buy a S-E V800 and change it to the Japanese firmware so that I can read and reply to my email in Japanese.
The Sharp 902sh UK model actually displays Japanese and can send, but in Romaji, and receive emails in Kanji and Okurigana from Japanese mobiles and PC's.
My tests to a UK V800 showed the error message 'invalid character set' so I know it needs the Japanese language pack.
I will also look at the 'setools site' and do my best to understand.
I cannot see which files to download but I guess I will not see the Japanese files til I am all connected up with appropraite cables etc!!
The S-E V800 should be released on O2 UK soonish and I am due an upgrade!
Thanks!

Voda_Jon's Official Response....
This is my friends a momentus day and one which i hope everyone with a V800 will take part of and enjoy. I myself am waiting for a T28 service cable to arrive and then i will be trying my hand at this nobel art of decustimisation.... We have moved from the dark ages of Vodafone Branded V800's into the New age of Z800's... Along with the invention of the wheel and the invention of mobile phones this could well be one of the greatest moments in history, or at least the last 3mths.
So now the end is near (of the v800 branded version), and so it faces the final curtain. Lets all hold hands and rejoice with me....
LONG LIVE THE Z800 AND ALL WHO CALL UPON IT!
Oh and well done to gbrooks, a knight in shining, albeit virtual, armour!
Goodnight my fellow esatonians!
