I think SE knows about BROD, and I believe that BROD is carrier dependent - alot of O2 phones are the most common victims.
So I guess O2 and other dealers are to blame for the BROD because of firmware alterations. And of course, its a deal with SE, so SE would not be able to penetrate those dealers' activities regarding their own firmware changes.
I don't know, but maybe debranding or complete reflashing then updating is so far the best solution to BROD.
I've got an unbranded model and just modified one of LCARS Expert's flash animations. cool.. ^_^
urrrm... my phone is debranded too... and I had BROD several times...
K850i is like Kinder Surprise - every day is different! :| |

Just been told o2 are not releasing this software 037 version yet.due to testing on the network.o2 wants to make sure its stable enough for them before they release it.which is a good thing in my opinion what o2 are doing

Update for the 3-UK K850i at last!
Not sure if I saw this mentioned somewhere in this thread, but there is a 3-UK FOTA only update for this phone (5.3mb), nothing on SEUS still!
Previous version was R1CA029 now R1EA037
Even a service centre re-flash a couple of weeks ago, due to operation failed errors, only gave R1CA029.
The R1DA039 listed as 3 branded firmware on page 1 I have never seen available for the K850, yet it was available for my K910 via SEUS only. |

Guys you all might want to try my method. Although my phone still reboots, it only rebooted when I gave my phone a REALLY hard time.
Reinstall your phone firmware, and wait for the phone to go OFF again. Now, DO NOT TAKE OUT THE BATTERY!!!~~~ Wait for around 20 seconds and reboot your phone.
MY phone now seems more stable. |

Don't we all?
I am still afraid to update my R1DA038 to anything newer because in 2 weeks since I bought the phone I only had a few freezes but no other serious issue with it. Yet, I would like to update it because my firmware seems to be the most power hungry released so far.
K850i was the SE's most superb phone. And failure.
Advanced to Android. |

I have just upgraded from flash version R1CA029 to R1EA037 on 3 UK.
I was getting the 'Operation Failed' error on version 29 and still getting the same error on version 37 when trying to open Applications and Games.
It is very frustrating when I have used both a K750i and a K610i without a problem for years.
Why can't Sony just sort the K850i out!? |

foolio SEUS and FOTA won`t fix "Operation failed" ... to fix this problem you have to reflash your phone with DaVinci or KulanKendi ... |

now im using R1EA037 APAC firmware... everythings going smooth because before this im using R1CA037 APAC firmware and my camera lens cover did not open when i press the short cut key for camera or from the camera menu but after i upgrade to R1EA037 firmware it's working perfectly but what i noticed this camera driver (R1EA037) have more purple or red colour in the picture compare to my previous firmware, but the picture quality looks better with this latest firmware...
overall im pleased with this new firmware and really hope no BROD case with my phone..

Yes this issue was a known bug of R1CA029, file system corruption.
Your phone needs a service centre reflash or paid 3rd party.
Can't beleive 3 have taken so long to update the firmware, the W910 3 firmware was updated months ago.

I'm starting to believe the "K850 as a A200/DB3150 guinea pig" theory..
