Hi everyone. This is a really enlightening thread from which I've learnt a lot but, wouldn't you know it, I've got a couple of questions. 
My K800 was originally an O2 contract phone, but I updated the firmware using WotanServer to R1ED001 back last year. In the process losing the couple of applications I baught from the SE site. Now I'm looking to update to the R1GB001 firmware (who isn't?). So:
1. Has anyone with a UK phone managed to use SEUS to upgrade to R1GB001 yet? I've been comparing signatures to Yes's but I haven't any from the UK yet.
2. If the answer to (1) above is 'Yes', why can't I? My understanding is that the WotanServer firmware will use the generic SE firmware and I won't have to wait for the O2 variant.
3. Anyone know if it's possible to redownload applications baught from the SE site? Losing stuff I've paid for when I upgrade the firmware is a pain, though I understand that this won't happen with a SEUS update.
4. Okay, I see glorfingal answered one of my questions before I even posted it, impressive, and it looks like I should be able to update the firmware by now. So perhaps I have the wrong firmware region. Which one should I have? I'm thinking this one (in WotanServer notation): K800_CXC1250490_EUROPE_2_R1GB001_RED49.wtf. Is that the right?
Thanks again.

New BUG on R1GB: (k790a)
if anyone else can confirm this, when using USB transfer, it only sees the memory stick as a drive not the phone memory anymore. |

R1GB001 findings:
-Now you have the animated desktop icon effect when you highlight or hover over each one. This animation is similar like what K750i has. Nice to see the animated highlighted icon on desktop again.
- 2 seconds delay is still present when accessing internet in this SEUS version.
- Some mp3 files like Alien Noise, Jangler and Pulse of SE fun&downloads originals are still impossible to play back. |

Well looking forward to see one. Neither my old S700 nor my wife Z610 is animated. SO my k800 will be the first animated menu that I have.

Well, just a suggestion, can you extract the mp3 and play it in PC? Then you may use mp3 editor and resave it (maybe at different bitrate) and put it back to the phone. Maybe they can play after this. |

The 2 seconds delay for internet button is not a bug... SE did it to prevent something.

Yeah the 2 second thing was to prevent accidental connection to the internet, which costs a lot of money with some providers.
Shame to see a bunch of bugs still on the phone. I'm glad I got off the Sony Ericsson train while I could. Bought the N73ME v3 and I can say it works quite well, despite the crappier camera. |

Hurrah, my K800 EROM has been updated with Kulan Kendi to R3A016. Now I am clear to upgrade to R1GB.
Now if someone can post the difference (if any) between updating from SEUS to third party like Kulan Kendi/wotan? What I really want to know:
1. Is that confirm that wotan does not have 2 sec delay on internet button and SEUS one has? I mean whether ppl who uses wotan find out that old firmware have 2s delay and after using wotan R1GB this is not the case anymore?
2. Is it correct that SEUS convert it to CID51 and Wotan doesn't?
3. Is the occasional font-menu-error (getting code like F:xxxx instead of proper menu heading) is corrected with R1GB?
Thanks all, especially to someone who PM me about Kulan Kendi . I have bought 1 credit but still not received them yet and I still can upgrade EROM. Well, I don't mind really as wotan client still refuse to work in my computer and I will use the kulan kendi account to change language in my wife Z610. |

Just to note.
Erom is only updateable at SE Service Centers and Wotanserver.
SEUS Will not update EROM.
SE are still working on this and hopefull will have a fullty functioning system some time this year.

I don't think this is the case of SE can't make it work in SEUS. I think they don't want ppl to update EROM by themselves. Not to mention some SE service centre don't really know (or denying to know) that EROM is upgradeable. The reason is I don't really know. |

Excuse me,
I live in United States and i have the k790a. My k790a was a gift (a great one at that)...and i have not updated because I'm afraid of WSOD or corruption of the phone while updating. My f/w version is R1EG001. Should I be afraid of a corruption while updating? Should I update? Will i see a change for the best if I update?
Also, what is "Discharge Flash" in the Service menu. I accidently pressed that.
I am sorry if these question have been asked...
Your feedback will not be over looked...Thank You in advance! |

Howdy. over on Howards, someone pointed out a bug that at least a couple of other people confirmed. Games and applications that you have on your memory stick from before the update will not work. Everything on the phone works fine, and replacing the game/application on the memory stick with a fresh copy of the same fixes the bug. But it's a bug none the less.
Howard thread about the issue. |
