From reading some of the comments I have a feeling that the SEUS update will only work if the firmware hasn't already been flashed to a recent version. My one is on R2L, and im guessing thats why its not working for me. I tried again this morning with no success.
Would it help if i put the log up here in case its something im doing wrong, rather than something Sony is doing wrong?
The version of the (Java) SEUS software is 1.38 if that helps. The Syncstation is something like version 1.5, d/led it recently. |

I just upgraded from R2L to R2A003 with SEUS. Version for camera is 3.10.
Mine is K700i. I guess it is a general brand. |

Hello.
I just want to tell some differences I noticed after updating my K700 from R2L001 to R2AE033, I don't know if these are mentioned before;
- Sim Lock used to ask the phone password everytime I open the phone, but now I guess it only asks when sim card is changed.
- When Light setting is in Power Save, after screen goes back, if you press any volume button it first shows the clock without backlight and if you press again backlight goes on.
- Calls list is seem to be ordered now by date and time.
I hope these help. Thanks. |

- Search function disabled in Asian firmware (Far east only?).
- Search function in phonebook upgraded for non-Asian firmware (C doesn't delete Contact, but letters you've entered, cursor cancels search) |
|
Does the search function mean you can find a person's entire name and not just the first letter anymore? Is there an activation for this? I upgraded to R2AE033 two days ago and I still am stuck with finding people using the first letter only. |

I managed to update the firmware on my brother's K700i (Orange Pay Monthly) on Friday using SEUS. Went from R2C001 to R2AE033 without problems. Tried to do it with my other brother's phone, an Orange PAYG with R2AC003, and it told me the network operator does not support the service. Very strange.
I wonder whether having an orange specific version already loaded in the phone, as R2AC003 appears to be, has something to do with it? Theoretically, mine shouldn't update either because I have the same version. I'm loathed to try because I hear once you've done one update, you're prevented from doing another and since I have a recent version, I'm not that bothered about upgrading just yet.

@ dmxmd
Do you have the Asian firmware? If so then you won't have the phonebook search function. For whatever reason SE have removed this from the R2AE Asian firmware. |

Hi
as gbrook3 mentioned earlier k700 and k500 didn't use the same firmware.
Is there a list for updates on the k500 firmware versions?

The was a discussion a while ago about second time upgraders...
I've updated 5 k700i's so far, using SEUS... my own from r2a to r2l to r2ae... my girlfriends in the same order... and three friends phones from r2aa to r2ae...
All phones are operator-free...
No problems yet...

@ willobrien
I've got the same problem trying to update my Orange K700i with R2AC. There does seem to be a problem updating from this firmware, although I have read some have managed it. |

Oh, ok. Thank you very much. I guess I'll have to wait for SE to realize we also need that feature here. |
