Can confirm that the O2 firmware update is on SEUS too.
R1CA037 is now my software version, will see what bugs I can find |

Come on guys, check SEUS now and report here. Don't forget to include of which CDA your K850i is. Can't wait to get K850i with this new firmware. |

I tried the SEUS with my factory unbranded (SIM-free) handset from CPW UK, but nothing.
However, I have just successfully updated to R1CA037 using the built-in FOTA feature. The firmware file downloaded in approximately 45 seconds (1,478KB) and installed in 5-10 minutes.
Thanks for the heads up; I'd have never found this out.

I've downloaded the FOTA update...
But when it's "installing" the phone keeps like...starting up...
the key's light up, and the silent alarm (trrr-trrr, dont know how to say it differently  ) keeps going on, but that's it...
Is this normal?? |

Mine restarted a couple of times, but then settled on a screen that shows it's applying the update.
It looks like you're going to have to get yours flashed at a service centre.

That's the shittest thing ever, if a 'feature' broke my phone, I'd be livid.. mostly because I'd be too lazy to ever get it fixed. |

Thats good news. Ok I have an O2 branded K850i and an operation failed error when I try to access games or applications. I was planning on returning my K850i for a new one however, this firmware update should do the trick shouldn't it? A master reset wouldn't fix the problem now lets see if this firmware update does. I will update this post when the firmware update is completed...
...I still get the operation failed message on games and applications after updating the firmware, now i'm going to try a master reset as a desparate measure...
...Oh and btw my phone just decided to turn itself off twice in five minutes after updating...
...Nope master restet after firmware update didn't work either, looks like I am going to have to return my phone after all...I'm having a great day today, just realized i don't have any proof of purchase I hope O2 understand...Has anybody else returned a K850i to O2? How long do they take and how fussy are they?

Doing a firmware update yourself is always a risk.

Ive been following this thread for a while now to hear news on the new firmware. On hearing that other UK o2 peeps were updating their phones, I decided to have a go.
The built-in update feature says that i already have the latest firmware (029), so thats no help
The SEUS software doesnt really do anything! I click on my phone model, then follow the onscreen instructions, and nothing! How long are you supposed to hold down the bloody c button!?

Lol, yep the built in updater didn't work for me either, I should have mentioned that and you have to hold the 'c' button down until it says release the 'c' button. Took about 20 seconds for me. Bit of an akward button to hold down too.

There's no point trying the SEUS at the moment as it's not on there.
It's strange that it says you have the latest firmware using the FOTA feature. Are you sure you don't already have 037?

It is on SEUS. I have an O2 branded K850i and updated from 29 to 37 about an hour ago through SEUS. |

100% sure I have 029.
At no point using SEUS does it say that its downloading an update or anything, it just gets to that screen with the instructions on, and nothing happens. |
