I just enabled multi-character entry on the phonebook search of my Asian K750i with SEUS.
Previously, I upgraded my sister's European K750i to R1L002 using SEUS. During the update I
noticed that the firmware was temporarily stored inside "C:\Program Files\Sony
Ericsson\Update Service\software-data" before it was written to the phone. When SEUS
prompted me to turn off the phone, I did a backup of the 2 files inside the folder for
possible future use before continuing with the update.... to cut the story short, the update
was successful.
Recently I bought myself a K750i, its firmware was Asian R1J002.. no multi-character input
when searching for a phonebook entry. I really wanted to do search of my phonebook by
typing the first few characters instead of just the first..
Here's how I did it. I run SEUS. When I reached the part when it prompted me to "turn off
the phone, unplug it then plug while pressing "C"" I moved the 2 Asian FW files from
"C:\Program Files\Sony Ericsson\Update Service\software-data" to my backup folder then
copied the Europeian FW (the 2 files which I previously backed up during my sisters K750i
update) to "C:\Program Files\Sony Ericsson\Update Service\software-data". Renamed it so that
their filename will be the same as the 2 files of the Asian FW(matched the file size when
renaming). I then continued with the update.. During the writing of the firmware to the
phone it said "communications error... " I just unplugged the phone, removed then reinserted
the battery then turned it on. That's it.. I can now do multi-character search on my
phonebook.

I should have tried flashing it with W800 first. I can't update my FW anymore since it's currently the latest. I guess I'll have to wait for the next FW update so that I can try flashing it with W800 FW. Anybody tried anything similar to this? Please post your results. |

you can still update it again, it will reupdate the same firmware, but are you willing to take that risk ?
