I have a k800 vodafone branded. With no FOTA. But I came across a file fotaDisabled.dat. Has someone already tried to removed that file and was it possible to use fota? Or can someone tell me how to enable it?

I thought FOTA is a kind of SEUS but over the air. So an update of the firmware only using the fone.

FOTA can also be disabled/enabled using customize.xml .
You can just upload to your phone a customize_upgrade.xml which enables FOTA and it will work just fine (I've done it in the past where my operator had disabled FOTA)

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<customization xmlns:scs="http://scs.sonyericsson.net/xsd/CDAGInput.xsd">
<fota>
<fota-enabled>true</fota-enabled>
</fota>
</customization>




Copy and paste that into an empty file and name it "customize_upgrade.xml".
Upload it to tpa/preset/custom and the next time you start your phone, FOTA should be enabled

Say what? How do I do that exactly? Will it work for my V630i?
