R1JE001
- SEUS Version for 3-UK
Having this firmware re-flashed at a sevice centre slightly changed the cusotmisation from the SEUS version, I now have the colourful walkman phone style EMS emoticons (Text Message > Add Item > Add animation)... Also the 3-Player has been removed from the desktop, now it's just a direct link to the normal Sony Ericsson Music player as on non customised phones (it does have a new custom icon though). These changes could be added to the SEUS version, but I can no longer check as I have them.

Accessing Firmware Information
To find out which firmware revision your phone currently has installed, select Menu > Settings > General > Update service > Software version. For more detailed software versioning information, perform the following:
>*<<*<*
Where < and > represents pushing the joystick left and right respectively.
SEUS will currently install the following firmware revisions for UK phone brands:
Sony Ericsson Update Service
The firmware of the K610 can be upgraded either over the air by selecting Settings / Update Service / Search for update or via the more traditional (and potentially cheaper) method of the Sony Ericsson Update Service. In order to use SEUS you will need to have internet access (preferably Broadband) and attach your phone to your PC via the supplied USB cable.
Note that the required firmware update drivers are present in the following directory after installing SEUS:
C:Program FilesSony EricssonUpdate Servicedrivers
If you run into problems, you may wish to download and install Sun's Java Runtime Environment separately.
If the firmware update fails part way through, retry the SEUS. If the update consistently fails you will need to perform a Master Reset on your phone. It is likely that you will be required to perform a Reset All - a settings reset is unlikely to do the job. It is recommended to use a tool such as MyPhoneExplorer to create a backup of the data on your phone before performing a Master Reset. Note that you will still lose any games, themes or ringtones present in your phone's memory.
SEUS will currently install the following firmware revisions for UK phone brands:
K610
Unbranded UK (CDA102497/??) -
O2 UK (CDA102497/??) - R1JC002
Vodafone UK (CDA102497/??) -
Orange UK (CDA102497/??) -
3 UK (CDA102497/46) - R1KG001
T-Mobile (CDA102497/??) -
V630
Vodafone UK (CDA102514/2) - R1ED001
Third Party Update Services
Third party firmware updates are available from Wotan Server. The use of third party solutions will theoretically void your warranty (although in practice the phone vendor is unlikely to notice) so should only be used in preference to SEUS for debranding purposes or updating a problematic phone locked out of SEUS by the service provider.

I started this thread as I felt it was needed, I have added as much information as I have from the internet and my K610 on 3-UK.
Hopefully mwarner can maintain this firmware summary also, for the time being post your network, CDA and firmware version here and I'll try to update or pm me!

SEUS sucks bigtime lately,I mean what are they waiting for -should everyone sell their K800s because of so many functional problems.This R1ED01 firmware was developed for both DB 2020 phones(K800 & K610)with the certain structural differences concerning camera section mainly and so when K800 firmware will be uploaded I guess this goes for K610 also,until now nothing has been uploaded yet in SEUS Greece at least.

Complete changelog of R1ED001
Improvements
- PC-based PictBridge support added
- Significantly rewritten MMS editor
- Improved HBH-DS970 support, providing ID tags on the handsfree screen.
- WMA tracks are now listed correctly by artists and title
- Improved Bluetooth relibaility with GPSes
- Joystick no longer wakes the phone from Standby mode
- Large Clock displays above the date in am/pm mode
- Bookmarks listed directly in the Internet section of the task menu rather than in a Bookmarks submenu
- Updated internet browsing icon
Bug fixes
- Green line on screen during video recording.
- Occasional crash when listening to the radio / using Media Player when receiving an incomming call.
The "pressures" option that MrZippy wrote is a misstranslation. It actually states "print", because of the new PictBridge feature.

This is the R1ED001 changelog for the whole platform. Just override the points that don't fit with k610/k618/v630 models

new firmaware (validated by orange france) released today on SEUS!!
It took about 5 mn to upload it on the phone.
changes I've seen:
- you must press during 2/3 seconds the quick-launch internet button to launch internet.
- some added functions in the included internet browser (I don't really know, because I never really explored them before)
- MMS screen is modified, such as new K800's
- "flight mode" is know written in french (I imagine it'll be written in choosen language). More logical for french users...
- Blog option is still not there...
- icons of the game correctly displayed.
- new version of main camera (3.0). Didn't see no change in photo mode, but video mode now have a X4 zoom and no recording time limit.
- the mobile seems to be faster, even in photo album menu.
- in transfert mode, new menus added: print pictures, an unknown one (that doesn't work) and an opera one (doesn't work no more).
- internet icon is different (flashing while browser is working on new page/link).
