Yes it was originally a Vodafone branded phone. But as I couldn't use the update service, I got it flashed at a SE service centre. Since then I've done 2 or 3 updates with no problems at all,except for this update which refuses to work 
I'm using R4A06 on CDA 162003/5. Originally 162004/8 on Vodafone I believe.

I am trying to update but I am having the following problem. When finish the download ask me turned OFF the phone on and put it to the SyncroStation. After my telephone go ON and OFF and ask me if I am sure to continue without backup or syncronize. I hit Yes to preceed and after a while I am taking the message "Communication Error with the device". Can anyone help me with that? I have 2 Computers and 2 P900 and I have the some problem to both of them. I am using windows XP SP1 and the latest programs from SE 2.3.1. My firmware now is CDA 162003/4 R4A04 - PDA CXC162021 R4A06. Any HELP?? |

a popular question since the days of P800
if it doesn't appear on the uninstall menu then use a file manager (e.g. the one in SMan) to delete the DEMO folder on the C drive (in C:systemapps if I recall correctly)
I too am getting the "operator does not support this" message on my CDA162003/8 P900

Holy shit!
I thought.
The update gave me an BIG ERROR! 
"Communication error, Update failed.
Remove battery and reinsert and try to restart phone".
That was one nervous minute. Always hate when a bios-firmware kind of update messes up.
But! This time I was lucky. The phone started.
Next update went OK.
"wonder if it went wrong becuse I at the same time was.. listening to MP3, surfing the web and running some other applications..."  |

After writing my CDA, it gives you the choice of viewing the release notes.

Had(having) problems with restore, third fw upgrade no problems previously. I would recommending upgrading the PC suite software first and then doing a backup before doing update. I didn't do this and am having problems restoring.
I have upgraded PC suite now, but it says there is a read write conflict in my backup taken at pre PC Suite upgrade.
just thought I would warn you.

So the only update for r4a06 users is the following:
P900 Maintenance Release 3.1 (MR3.1)
Corrections to a fault in the MR3 SW related to download of Java applications using JAD files.
Not really worth the scary update I would say...

Has anyone downloaded PC suite 2.3.1 in another language (since the english links aren't working) in order to continue with the Organizer update? Will the different language be an issue? |
