@hazart
I have been saying for some time now that there is some serious problem with the Online Update Service. I have also recommended that people are not to use it.
Your problem is exactly what many many people have been suffering from. Sony Ericsson don't seem to listen. The problem is that many many people have corrupted firmware [user interface] in their phones now, but they don't know about it since it could relate to files they are not using (like frames etc.). I have seen more important corruptions than the user interface too, some people have lost the functionality of the radio, bluetooth etc.
I have lost willingness to talk about this problem since some one here posted a note from Sony Ericsson saying it's a "hoax" that the Online Update Service [often] corrupts the firmware. Read this post!
Since Sony Ericsson states that there is no problem with the Online Update Service, and that it's a "hoax" that it corrupts phones, then I have no right to say against them - I was wrong!
But I can't stop wondering what it is that all those people out there with weird firmware have done to their phones if it isn't the Online Update Service that corrupted them.
End of story from me (I don't want any trouble with Sony Ericsson since there isn't any problems with their Online Update Service).
Good luck using their service!

SEUS theme
When I got to know this problem, I turned to SE CallCenter. Meanwhile
on Esato - and on other sites too - I many times asked the people to check their log, or tried to talk about this problem. Nobody cared about it. Hazart was the first one, who taken effort to check his log. And there had been a newer defective k700.
I think, the solution is not that you put your head under ground, even if you have no problem with SE US. So did the others. That's the reason why SE can say it's hoax.
We have to flash light to this problem, and we have to force the people having damaged fw to mark this problem to SE as I did.
If we will be many, SE must listen to our voice.

@CyberVisitor:
Thank you very much for your kind reply. 
Even though SE insists that its SEUS works fine, it is buggy by nature and that's why it is causing phones problems. I wish it had run a critical test before release the service to the public like Microsoft did on its Windows XP SP2. SE obviously hasn't done enough test on its SEUS. Anyway, I do hope that SEUS gets better so that we will benefit more from it.
I still want to know the kit that SE service centres use to reflash phones; a special software and a special interface to connect?
@Rex:
The good thing is that I rarely use frames when taking shots.
You are absolutely right that those of us who got their phones corrupted using the SEUS should actively report to SE so that it can change its attitude towards things.

The SEUS is a buggy program and it corrupts phone, the first time it erased my camera driver and all the frames, and the second time it killed, thanks to Davinci server I fixed my phone! |

Good evening, not wanting to go off topic but i would like to just say, ask any "MCSE" if windows XP SP2 if ok and they will laugh in your face. I mean come on ...... its already a standing joke in the industry. I causes no end of problems and all for a farse of a firewall.
Personally I think the SE online update is a good thing and i'm sure SE will improve it.
Cheers

MCSE's, bah! Most of them think that because they have that qualification it means they know everything! I'd like to see them do my job in my I.T. dept!
It's true SP2 has had to be patched, you couldn't expect it to be perfect but it is a step in the right direction. no other firewall will protect your PC at boot time. The Windows Firewall was never meant to replace retail firewall solutions, just to provide basic protection and that is what it does.
Also, SP2 still has a chunk of it's major update missing. I am refering to what MS calls "behaviour blocking". This is still yet to be released for Windows XP and was expected to ship with SP2 but unfortunately never made it into the final build (probably due to the problems with the DEP software). This is expected in Jan/Feb of 2005 and should mean SP2 is then the complete package.
So next time you run into an MCSE, ask them which is better:
a) Windows XP SP1
b) Windows XP SP2
c) Linux ???
If they say anything other than b then they know s**t! |

@Rex:
You are absolutely right in saying that the warning lines in mySEUSlog, which says:
Signature invalid! File will be deleted (by) homeflash.jd
is telling me that a frame is deleted since I always had two warning lines of deleting files in every piece of log and I have lost exactly two frames: Angel and Mediterranean.  |

I'm not happy that I was right. I would rather have been reading you have all frames, and those lines don't means defective update.
And as CyberVisitor wrote, we don't know, what even went wrong, what we can't see...
Because I also had 2 warning lines, but I have all frames, though only one doesn't work (missing from recorded picture). But so far I didn't find any else problem...

@Rex:
This is getting weird... What else could have been deleted then?  Do you think you will have a correct Peacock.jpg after Master Reset -> Reset All? Mine was blank.
BTW, which frame does not work on your phone?

Peacock: No, I don't. Any times I heard somebody did master reset, nothing has been fixed, but everything has been deleted.
Frame: Monkey. If I look at this for preview, the bottom of the frame is diffuse. If I take a shot, this is missing from the picture.
I would bet, who has corrupted fw by SE US, each of them have 2 warning lines in the log! Independent of how many frames are missing... |
