K800 Firmware Overview |

Is it just me or is this a general problem? I'm trying to update my phone via SEUS but it keeps on bombing out. I follow the instructions, it then tells me there is an update available and lists it as K800i EUROPE 2. I then proceed. It downloads the update and starts to upload it to the phone, but when it reaches 98% it crashes and I get the error message stating that the update failed; I should disconnect the phone and try again.
This happens every time I try to update the phone - all goes well until its 98% complete and then it fails.
I have a UK O2 branded phone and the current firmware version is still R1ED001
Any advice or similar problems?

I guess it's because of the leap from CID 49 to CID 52 without having CID 51 first. I'm not sure about it though. Just read before many people having problems with O2 branded updated via SEUS. It may be an operator-based firmware issue as well. Correct me if I am wrong. I have never encountered problems when running SEUS. |

Anyone got any tips for getting my Vista laptop to recognise my K800i in SEUS, I have ran it in Xp and Win2k compatability mode without any joy, also running it as admin, SEUS will run but it wont recognise my phone to check for updates, I have followed the instructions and held down the C kek, all that happens is after about 30 sec`s the phone goes to file transfer mode. |

Aha, that's the problem. You have a wrong CDA number.
There is no such a CDA 102568/0. 0 or zero is an unknown CDA which of course makes it impossible to be updated via SEUS. Was the phone flashed with Cruizer or SEtool of cracked version before? That made the CDA faulty. Try to recover your CDA via WotanServer, eg. to 101 Asia Pacific or 14 EUROPE 5 and SEUS will kindly update yours. Good luck.
ooh i c, the fone stoped working so i sent it back to Kuwait to SE to fix it, apparently they used a third party software.
so do i have to buy some Wotan Credit, or can i do it for free? and can i choose any version or do i have to select something specific? I wanna still be able to use the Arabic language in it.
thanks

Just buy a credit at Wotan and pick up the CDA that contains Arabic language. Check by yourself at the website. The main firmware will R1KG001 Generic WI CID 52 and the filesystem/CDA is Generic Middle East/North Africa CID 52. Good luck.

It better not be the case as I'll be mighty pissed off then. Every time mwarner posted a new firmware version I tried to update and every time SEUS said that I had the latest version. Then when it eventually decided that I don't have the latest version, it fails to upgrade...
Honestly this is the final straw for me. Don't get me wrong; I love SE products but from the day I got this phone I regretted it. This phone was a huge disappointment for me. At least my contract is now up for renewal so I'll gladly bin it and get myself something else.

I'm trying to update from R1ED001 using SEUS and I get as far as releasing the 'c' button and 'identification in progress' begins.
It stops and says 'Error: Update failed'.
I'm with O2 and the phone is exactly as new - never flashed etc.
Does anybody else get this or offer any help?
Cheers

Go for the N95 dude. It smokes the k800i. In its day the k800i was an okay phone, but the N95 and its advanced feature set plus the lack of SE support makes SE look like an losing proposition.

N82(YES), iPhone 3G, Shure es530, Nikon D300, more stuff. No more SE stuff, why am I still here? |

Lol N95 cost twice as much as K800 and have very crappy battery life |

Do you have an N95 or are you just going by what people say. I have one. I recharge it every other day. Oh, did I mention it has GPS, about the best screen on a phone, a 5 megapixel camera, and Nokia support?
No contest.

honestly if you're going to start another nokia vs SE flame, not here, sapporo  . both phones in my opinion are not comparable, it is true that the n95 beats the k800 in almost every other category. but point is, both are very different phones.

i would stick with r1ED if i was you, didn't notice any major problems with it. i'm on r1JG now, and i didn't notice any major changes in terms of performance. if it's not broke, why fix it? |

I have noticed with R1ED001 that sometimes its impossible to make a call, you hit call and it does nothing, doesnt even attempt to connect, only a reset will sort it out. I cant get my Vista lappy to recognise my K800 tho  I have followed all the Vista instructions for SEUS as you can see from my post above. |

you mean like a call lag or? i've never noticed that on my k800. just some other tiny bugs, which has been mentioned before and not solved as yet. are you sure it's not an operator problem? |
