WARNING: MASTER RESET AFTER UPDATE MAY MAKE NEW FIRMWARE OPTIONS UNAVAILABLE.
Earlier today i updated my unbranded K850i from R1CA037 to R1EA031. Everything went well, and i was checking the new options for HSDPA and Vibration on touchkeys. Both were visible in the menu and worked quite well.
To be sure i had a clean, stable release i decided to put a Master Reset. After the reset both new options were disappeared. Vibration didn't work anymore... 
Now, after reflashing, the options still aren't back and i'm doubting if i will ever see them back in this firmware release.
Is there anything i can try to get the 'full' R1EA031 back?
Sound really strange! Try to take out the battery for halv an hour and flash the phone again..a poor advice i know, but thats all i can think of for now. I have no java apps or games and iv'e tried everything. So i will try to flash it at a SE-center or via Da Vinci-if they also do a "total flash" as you don't do when you flash at home.
Well well, it's getting even more strange... After waiting half an hour, i tried to reflash once more. After the progress meter in the SEUS app reached 99% for a while, i was getting the message that the update failed!
Checking now: Vibra on touchkey menu is back, HSDPA option is still missing. MediaPlayer is still slow (slower than earlier today).
It looks that some corruption took place that isn't recoverable by user, i will take your advice and i'll let do a total flash at a SE service center.
It seems to be an abnormality, i never see sortlike complaints on fora.
Maustroni, you should probably reflash your phone back to 037 using divinci and then upgrade it to backup to the latest with SEUS. I had a similar problem like you a couple of months ago... just a suggestion

I had 37 and i wouldnt recommend anyone to upgrade!
As far as i m concerned the phone is a bit slower now.
I had no bugs earlier
(apart from the equaliser thingy)
and i should consider my self lucky, but there was a serious problem with some java applications, esp 3D java games.
In some cases the phone crashed (Might and Magic 2)
That was the only reason that made me upgrade and the hope that SE will improve the color balance in camera.
Just after the update with new firmy, i also had to restart the phone once, since then i dint notice any random restarts.
The camera quality hasnt been improved, pics still come out blurry and the red color still looks fade.
Video player is much slower, i had some films converted and they were working properly with 37, now there is a big lag, the video and sound our out of sync, where they werent on 37 and the auto rotate function is slower and cause major lag to the video, the frame rate makes a huge jump a few secs after the rotation.
Java games like 3D Vrally still have lag, esp when sound effects kick in,
but they dont crash anymore.
8 hours on stand by, consumed 6% of the battery, but i think that 37 had a slightly better performance.
The menu was much slower at start but it eventually became almost as fast, as it was with 37, video rec doesnt seem faster to me, there is no noticaeble difference.
The vibration option is similar with the "laser precision" flash theme,
if someone didnt encounter any serious bugs, i wouldnt recommend to upgrade...

I have the same thing here with Vista x86. Before the SEUS update I was able to update the phone but after the phone goes into mass storage mode. Now I use xp to update the phone. |
