hey i was able to update to R1KG001 on SEUS today. i have APAC phone. been checking for awhile now and it finally showed up.
i did find an issue. i wanted to see if anyone else noticed it.
when i accidently click on the internet globe button, it now brings up the internet browser. it no longer requires holding it down for couple of seconds. back in R1ED001, it was fixed.
- SEUS update only: You must now press the Internet key for a couple of seconds to bring up the browser. This is to prevent accidental connection to the Internet.
seems to me R1ED001 reverted back to the issue of instant internet access by accidently clicking or even nudging the internet globe button.
anyone else have this? was this on purpose? i don't like it one bit. is there a way to revert back to previous firmware without using wotan or davinci? |

i have a question....
I have seus instaled on my pc. i updated my firmware on k800i once using seus.
how can i upgrade to R1KG001 (i have now R1GB001) if i dont have eny credit card or anything.
i checked and R1KG001 supports my language.
i gues that this firmware is the latest for k800i but seus says that i have the latest one on my phone(whitch is not true)
is it possible to dowload somehow this firmware on my pc and force seus to upgrade my phone. and where can i find this firmware for free, cause i cannot pay anything via internet.
thanx. |

There is no R1KG001 on SEUS for HK version. |

I updated my K800i a couple of weeks ago using SEUS.
It now thinks it's a W850i 
I first noticed when I discovered that the camera wasn't working. Tried to do another update and can confirm that when doing the last update the K800i was selected (SEUS shows the last phone updated). The update now says the phone is already up-to-date, I chose to continue, and ran the update again. Still thinks its a W850i. No Camera. Cant remove the anoying scrolling menu.
3 UK network
R1KG001
EROM: R3A011
Camera: 2.5
Video Call Camera: 3.0 ?!?!
Any ideas what I should do next? |

It's a common problem for 3 UK SEUS. Visit a service centre or buy a 7 EURO log at Wotan to do a full flash by yourself. Good luck. |

No, I'm afraid. You can't do it without paying especially if your CID is 52 now. Why would you do that anyway? No problem with quick access of browser key I think. |

Exactly. Wotan--and SEUS is likely too--doesn't list any HongKong R1KG001. Just Generic, China and Taiwan plus operator-branded. You have to wait? |

Thanks for the info, probably easier to use Wotan. Can anyone confirm this will work, and if so which firmware do I need? Also my EROM is version R3A011 do I need to update this also? |

Wotan will ask you to upgrade the old EROM automatically. Do you intend to debrand? Choose any Generic R1KG001 CID 52. It's the latest. If not, just choose any 3UK latest firmware. But I don't know if it keeps the mixed-up firmware issue. I do suggest that you debrand as it eliminates many problems. |

Would Generic Europe 2[EUROPE_2] be a good choice? |

Sure, any Generic as it always contains English. You can check the language packages for each CDA. Europe 5, for example, contains French, Italian and German in addition to English. APAC has Malaysian, Indonesian and Tagalog. So, it's up to you, what languages you need. |

I confirm the lastest Wotan 3Uk R1KG001 is the correct firmware and does not flash your phone to a w850i like the SEUS does. I also upgraded my erom and it works great.

@kkotsianis or anyone else with a R6BC002 K810i:
Can you confirm the ability to minimise a file transfer window when sending/receiving a file over Bluetooth on the R6BC002 firmware?

Thanks Scoop - I went for the 3UK R1KG001 and updated my EROM. All appears to be ok now.
Cheers

I have this same issue after upgrading my "3" K800i. I updated my phone using the Sony Ericsson update service. Prior to the update, my K800i ‘3’ branded phone was on firmware R1JE001 and the Sony update centre updated the handset to R1KG001.
Since the upgrade I have experiences the following problems:
1. The camera does not work and flashes an error message briefly on the screen stating that an application is already running.
2. When entering the menu another message flashes up stating that the memory is unstable.
3. The shortcut key is no longer showing any shortcuts.
I have tried a master reset on the handset and also re-updated the phone with the Sony Ericsson update service, which again stated that the update was successful, but did not alter the situation with the phone.
