A small warning, the latest SE update tool (v2.6.4.9) is incompatible with the latest java update, had to remove the jre-1_5_0_06 and reinstall the jre-1_5_0_05 for it to work... LOL Vodafone Greece has yet to allow the latest firmware  so it makes little difference for us. |

Does the SEUS update to R1BC for UK Orange branded W800's? Or is it still R1AA?
The first thread of this topic doesnt seem to suggest so but I don't know if it is up to date? |

Orange branded phones still can't update to R1BC002, I hope it's released soon. |

It's quite unusual for SEUS to completely screw up your phone. I would suggest removing the battery, putting it back in and then holding the power button for longer than expected.
If you are totally screwed then either take it to a SE Service Centre or use a third party tool such as DaVinci. |

Just delete the DB folder in SEUS folder (Program Files) and retry to update (the firmware to download again - so wait - about 17 megabytes to be downloaded). Luck!
K750(R1DB001 CID36) + K790(R1JG001 CID49) + W850 (R1JG001 CID49) + DS970(R2D)

Don't execute SEUS, just delete Program Files/Sony Ericsson/Update/DB folder (catalogue) and try to update again. |

I'm sorry to say that SE service centre is the ultimate solution. They will re-flash the phone or if it's under warranty,ask for a replacement. Here in Indonesia,I updated my phone in a internet cafe of 40-80kbps speed,and it always succeeded. I suspect your PC had problems,not SEUS itself. Hopefully,R1BC002 is the final f/w so that there'll never be more dead phones around.. |

I've tried deleting the DB folder as you mentioned. I've installed it again but still no luck. it still comes up with the same message that my phone has the latest software. My phone is still off and i don't know what to do. Someone please help me! PlZ!!!! |

@kulorex
So what have you tried so far? Have you managed to get the phone to boot up? Does SEUS recognise the phone? |
