hey all. its shush again back from time ago, where i once had a vodafone branded k700. anyway the night mare was well and truly over when i managed to debrand it (jus look at my posts on this evr grwoing forum!)
well now i have another question,
my friend has a k700 branded to orange with the firmware file r2c*** wateva. i sed to her that theres a new one called r2aa***. she wants that one now, but wants to keep the orange branding for some reason (maybe cos it has the shortcut thing and its orange) and also, its cos it is supposed to be free according to the help in the toal server program. any way, what im asking is: can it be done? can i just update the firmware and leave the costumizations and languages alone? and also, will it lose any user data? i really need to ask people who have expereinced it, cos i want it updated (the icons are so slow compared to mine) but dont want to pay for it. the help sed it can b done, but after looking at iamcrunchie's posts (he ses that u still need language and costumization files) i am not sure. please someone reply.
the phone has never been updated before, and this is the first time its going to happen but WITHOUT getting rid of the orange. jus an update to r2aa0003. (PS the shortcut thing is quite nice on the k700 u no. im beginning to think its better than the ones the original have. jus the icons are a let down).
yours sincerely...

I'm afraid I don't have any experience of doing that, and I really wouldn't try it without an 'informed' opinion  Maybe you could email someone from the total server team, or face off mobiles. Anyway... I just wanted to say that I think it probably would work, and you probably wouldn't have to pay. As far as I can tell, the Firmware Upgrade option in the software should just update the firmware and leave the customisations alone, like you say. |

somersetdude,
Thanks for ur reply. I opened up the connector on my cable, but the white cable already appears to be connected to pin 7. The wires in my connector are as follows:
blue wire - pin 6
white wire - pin 7
green wire - pin 10
orange wire - pins 9 and 11
Does this seem correct to you? or maybe another wire has been connected wrong.
Thanks

teb1980,
Your wiring appears to be correct. Check the serial end the colours go Orange, Green, White, Blue.
Maybe worth putting tape over all the pins from 5 back to 1 in case something is touching?

somersetdude,
I checked the serial end and that seems fine too.
Strangely, the same thing happens with my phone qute often when I connect it to a desktop charger I bought too (turns on, says "charging", makes a noise, then turns off in a continuous cycle). Im starting to think it could be some kind of bug in the phone which may well be fixed if I can get rid of the Orange crap and upgrade to the latest firmware - but without the unlock cable working I cant do that!
Thanks for ur help anyways.

I had the same issue. After uninstalling the com ports and letting windows install new drivers automaticly it worked (for me).
Control Panel > System > Hardware tab > Device manager

Send it to mumien.se instead, it is more safe and easier.

i had some spare time yesterday and created a so called 'proper' service and data cable conversion guide. it contains lots of pictures and i tried to make it as simple as possible, hope it helps people to check their cable or do the conversion.

Though i don´t have concrete evidence, some usually reliable people have told me that mumien.se infact use Totalserver as well..
Guess they just know what they´re doing, that´s all (no offence to anyone here!)
EDIT:
Thank you ivc for the guide! Just wish you had links to larger pictures, other than that it was very nice!
PS: Don´t miss Z1010 for £150 incl P&P! I have had mine for a week now and i am very happy with it so far!
P.M. me if you´re interested. Go here for more detail:

yes the phone was o2 branded and i did only flash with r2l firmware file.
now this is even stranger- the phone got stuck with the optimised charging logo for a minite or two then reset itself. now the bloody o2 customisation is back!
but hey it is still on r2l firmware and working properly so i dont care!
BTW anyone had any problems with bluetooth since upgrading? it all works except the bluetooth dial up networking (from pocket pc) which worked a treat before.
