eped, zippy-
the in-box miniusb can be used for flashing, as long as you just flash to the CID your phone permits (e.g., R2T002 flashes in davinci are CID49, you can't to that via miniusb, only R2J005, the last CID36 flashes available)
DSS-25 will do the trick (not DCU-25)
then again after trying the ignore CID option my K600 was left with white screen when I forced R2T (CID49) in my CID36 unit. oh well
as for the DCU-60 cable (for fastport units) i believe theyre all CID36 (K750/W800s at least). And yes, you can flash/convert K750-W800. A coworker just did it at work in less than 10 mins |

So ignoring cid is possible for me then since i have a dss-25? But what do you mean leaving your phone with a white screen? I mean, I don't want that!

hi, sorry about my english. i'm new user of k600i, and i have just upgrade my k600i f/w from R2G into R2AB002. Which one is newer, R2AB or R2T?
And how you check the CID number on the phone?
If i want to use SEUS, which cable data should work? is it DCU-60 or DCU-11? As I understand that DCU-60 for fast port only (k750, W800), can it be use on K600? K600 have the same port with K700, which use cable data DCU-11.
I don't want to buy the wrong cable since in Jakarta the price range for such cable data about 25 USD. |

Hi I upgraded my V600i from R2H002 this morning using seus and a dss25. The phone is now at R2AB002.
Looking at the various s/w versions the camera has gone from 2.9 to 3.3 and the video from 4.7 to 5.0 I've taken 2 pictures so far and they don't seem much different, I've not tried a video call yet.
Reception seems different though - my 2g reception seems better (i've not had an emergency calls only message all day) 3g seems bizzare though - it seems to swap to 2g even though there is (was?) 5 bars of 3g signal - weird?
The o/s doesn't seem any quicker / different.

im not exactly sure how accurate this website is, but from here you see the progression of firmware versions for K600 as:
R2T002
R2K005
R2J002
R2H002 (V600i)
R2G001
R2F015
R1K005
I don't find R2AB002 there. Is that even newer than R2T002- doesnt seem like it, if you follow the [hexadecimal] naming convention (1-9,A-F). But it could be for all I know. . .
feffe: yes, theoretically, but only for phones with CID < 36, and not on or over
ryolasta: DCU-60 is for fastport connectors. K600 doesnt use that. Get yourself a DSS-25
rcmacc: no performance changes whatsoever? Can you check a few bugs for me (if these still exist in your firmware version):
1- the sent prompt says "[ Message Sent ]" then quickly refreshes to "Message Sent" when sending SMS
2- shortcuts getting reset at random when switching phone off/on
3- some sites render incorrectly with the browser (my operator's didnt render right until R2A for W800)
and no improvements on speed/responsiveness, you say?
thanks |

1. I don't think my previous version did that but it now says sending message to message sent.
2. My previous version never did that this version hasn't so far either.
3. I don't use the browser that much but it now seems more flaky - some of the vodafone pages get 'cannot be displayed' sometimes although clearing the cache seems to have cured this.
Speed wise i've not noticed any difference. The ring tones are alot louder now, the only other comsmetic difference is some of the vodafone icons seemed to have changed.
Once the phone is out of warranty I'll probally flash it to a generic k600 - though I'd imagine if I do this Vodafone will not recognise the phone model so will only serve the very basic wap pages.

Just tried the update service with my K608i and it told me no updates available.
My software is R2L002 which is hardly the latest.

I am thinking there is no new firmware for the K608i as this shows as CID37 in Davinci but there is no firmware to update for CID37 listed.
Also the SEUS does not say it is not supported, it says you have the latest firmware.
Any thoughts? |

I'm not sure about how SEUS really works.
1) When I tried updating my K700i (which already had the latest firmware) it told me that yes, I have the latest firmware already, but I was offered to install it anyway.
2) When I tried updating my K608i (which also had the latest firmware, BUT it was Multiserver flashed) it simply told me that there were no updates available.
What the hell is this? Does the SEUS server recognise the R2T software as "illegal" since it doesn't offer me to download it anyway, like it does with the K700 "legal" software? |

when i try to upgrade my k600i using the deskstand i get the 'downloading phone software' message, then a popup telling me:
......... 'The current phone software can unfortunately not be upgraded using this service. If you perceive a problem with your phone please visit nearest service location.'
The phone was bought SIM free from foneplanet and has r2g001 software installed.
any ideas why this message? |
