I also have the problem that i can't update to the latest firmware, SE's update software says that i have the latest firmware.

Has anybody seen a fix for that?

Can't update firmware from R1CA039 to R1EA030 for w910i

Guys,

I bought an unbranded w910i off the shelf which was preloaded with the R1CA039 firmware. Reading up on the new firmware (R1EA030) which offers significant speed improved I tried to update it both through the SEUS and the inbuilt phone update service but it keeps telling me my phone software is up to date. Is there any manual mechanism of loading the new firmware or any other way to make SEUS recognize that my firmware is not up-to-date.

I've seen some other people are experiencing similar problems with unbranded/debranded w910i phones. Has anyone had any luck with Sony Ericsson support? I haven't.

Ideas and suggestions will be more than welcomed.

Cheers,

got similar probs , using r1da038 branded orange w 910i
crackling bass, restarts , lost the big clock , original fw was 029 sorry I upgraded to 038, battery life is poor also
does the master reset do anything to the fw like take it back to the original ??

Why dont you update to R1EA030?

And if you cant update, that means you need to "debrand" it with DavinciTeam software, im gonna wait for the C++ version to be release though, because it is free!!!!

Nope, i tried master reset, and it only deletes all profiles, contacts, and other settings etc. you are still stuck with the same fw

I think the only way is to debrand, it sucks, but no other choice. Next time you should wait to see fw notes and bugs before updating.

Hello, I just bought an unbranded O2 w910 and I was wondering are there any problems with updating firmware for unlocked phones?

All replies much appreciated!

Welcome f.b

I don't think there should be a problem with unbranded/unlocked firmware updates with this phone. Some people have reported problems, but I think a reflash is in order for them.

Thank you very much for your quick reply. I also think there should not be a problem, but since updating firmware is still a bit tricky, and since I just got this phone, you can understand my concern.

Anyways, think I'll just wait a few more days to enjoy it, and then update

I have a problem with the latest firmware and that are that the phone restarts it self and it says insert sim. But that only happens if I have the phone in my jacket. Because when I have it in my jeans it rarely happens.. Really strange.

LOL!!!! Maybe you have some sort of magnetic device in you jacket that affects the phone? Well you should just leave the phone in your jeans, if problem persists, see your doctor (joking).
