Yes, the update works great, but if you use windows XP with SP2 installed, be carrefull SP2 blocks downloads, you can allow them by clicking the upper banner under your links.

simsphil, Thanks for your followup. I have XP with SP2 and have allowed the download. But after I installed the client program, then nothing happens... (the SE shows something like "... you will be redirected to another window"). BTW, what is the firmware version from the update? Can you still take pictures quietly?

when downloading the "client program", did you care to OPEN it and not SAVE it, it will install itself and then another window will open.
If you carrefully read instructions during update procedure, it should be OK.
About taking pictures quietly, don't know as I don't use camera, after exploring the menu, I think it's not more allowed.

I have the software R2A041, I want to use the mp3 ringtones on the vodafone network. after reading a prevuos message it says if i upgrade my software to R2V001 i can use the mp3 as ringtones. Is this true. Which service centre can i visit to get software. i live in London and have called the service centres listed in my area and they say they have SOFTWARE R2L. Will R2L allow us on the vodafone network use the mp3 tunes as ringtones? |

Not sure mate. Take it in, get it upgraded and see what happens. You have two possible outcomes !! If the list on the other thread is not correct for Sony service centres, then phone SE's customer support and they have a more recent list and can provide you with the phone and address of the closest one.
Be warned as some people think that the lack of MP3 for ringtones functionality is down to a vodafone specific restriction. Even if you get your firmware updated, they will install the latest vodafone offering which may not remove your problem.
You could always try your closest major Car Phone Warehouse as although they are not recommended by SE they do offer free upgrades for phones under warranty. |

Reference Vodafone branded mobiles. I took mine to Hays Technology, nr Banbury. They tried to update the firmware with R2L but the phone would not allow this. They were able to update with R2V which I understand to be the Vodafone version of R2L but MP3 still limited in use - unable to use as ringtone.

@ mwarner
Some one at k-700.com forum has upgraded its software to r2v and says he still cannot use mp3 as ringtones. Please update the first post.

Updated the first post to include details of how to check your firmware version and which operator supplied phones can be flashed using the Online Update Service.
As always, if there are any mistakes in the post then please let me know! |

having read threads i figured that my SE k700i
with firmaware R2A041 is old and i need to upgrade to R2L001 (aspecialy because of anoying contact disapearing from phonebook). The thing is that it is O2 branded and SE authorized repair service said they cant upgrade because of that (there is no O2 network where i live). Is it safe to upgrade to O2 branded with firmware R2A041 to R2L001?
Other thing is what prgCXC125959_EU_6_C mean, can that be of any help answering the question above? |

- Line 1/2 indicator in top line of display
- Additional profile of 'TTY accessory'
Two new things to be added.

My phone was updated with R2L001 in an service-center. Yesterday
i got DSS-25 and i was trying to update my phone online and my first tought was it would fail becaues the lastest is R2L001 and i allready had that in my phone. But i didīt get an mess about that. the online update for k700i uppdated my phone to R2L001.
My question then is there som diffrent from the service-centers update and the onlines uppdate?
I will try again tonight and see if i can uppdate the phone online or i will get an mess that i allredy have the lastest software.
