Why don't you start by going to the Sony Ericsson website and seeing if you can work it out? It's not that difficult. It explains everything step by step.

I'd say it won't work for you. What is the first 8 digits of your IMEI number? I'd hazard a guess that it's 35401000 if you have R2AC. If it is, it's unlikely that it will work due to a problem with the SEUS that is preventing newer K700i handsets from using the service. I have informed SE of this problem, and they are supposidly working on it.

Just a quick note to say that after months of bugging SE, they've finally fixed the problem with the SEUS disallowing certain Orange K700i handsets. I have personally tested it and it is indeed now fixed.
So all you Orange K700i owners who couldn't previously use the service should now be able to.

I have Tried again to download the latest update for the Orange K700i (uk) and it worked with out any problems.
Orange users are now able to download the latest version of R2AY004 by using the SE updated service.
Whats more interesting. Orange users now get 2 set shortcuts on the joysitck of left and right.
The other icons are still there, but its great that i can set a shortcut to bluetooth now.
No problems reported with anything else.
Hope this helps |

I have an unlocked K700i with a DSS-25 deskstand, and was having exactly the same problem with the SEUS - every time it said it was ready to update the device, it would then suffer a "communication error" and ask me to remove the battery and try again. After a whole day of trying various things, I gave up on SEUS.
I managed to flash it with the Davinci client and my DSS-25. This involved downloading the latest version of the client from www.davinciteam.com, along with the DSS-25 'fix' from the Downloads section, and buying a credit with my PayPal account. Flashing to the latest firmware (R2AT003) was then a relatively simple (yet nervewracking!) process. |

I am experiencing this problem too, everytime when I got to the point where is says ready to update, it would say "error communication with device". However I managed to download the firmware files off SEUS though, weird..
by the way, why did you flash it with R2AT003, not R2AY004 ??
i thought Y004 is the latest one

I have no experience with DaVinci but i want to flash my K700 asap. if I use DaVinci client, can i just flash it with the main-software-file and a filesystem-software-file and not the finalization for the CDA?

I tried with R2AY004 first, but the flash failed, so I tried a slightly earlier version. Might try again with R2AY004 just in case it works! I read in another thread that they are essentially identical though - is that right? |
