How many of you have got an K750i flashed BY SE update service to an confused W800i? And who has:
A.) figured out how to (by regression or other means) make it feel like an K750i again?
B.) Helped it finalize its transformation into a W800i.
or
C.) got really surprised to find it turned into a Nokia N90

Hmmm... i think it would be useful to explain a bit more of your questions/problems. I just can't follow the part of the Nokia N90?
Flashing the k750i and w800i to each other's firmware is no problem at all, at least not for those who has the flashing possibility (not equal to SEUS).

But I already noticed problems with people using the SEUS, as they want to reset the k750i again after loading the w800i firmware into it.

some advice: keep your phone with the right firmware!

If you tried to update you're K750i since this weekend you will find after a master reset that you have a W800i (with the R1N firmware of a K750i) so the model will read: W800i but the firmware is K750i. So still no in-flight mode. So the question becomes, (A) try to reflash at an service point to a K750i again or (B) finnish the job and go for the W800i firmware. Option C was a joke!! I read in the forum that several people have the same situation and have a semi W800i.

And I was wondering what they are gonna do next.

Ps. the change from K750i to W800i happened via the standard SonyEricsson update service.

I think we should flood SE support about this question.
Maybe they'll speed up a revised version os SEUS. [addsig]

On Friday night i removed the phones branding by reflashing the phone with the k750i firmware from Davinci and then ran SEUS to do the update to the latest firmware it ended up like that.

You will have to download the W800i usb drivers and install them. Then you should be able to connect just fine.

W800i usb drivers:

yeh another thing is it identified my phone as a W800 in windows and i needed to use the drivers.

I brought my data cable to work with me this morning and it detected it as a W800, but i didnt even need any drivers at all! this pc has no drivers on it like that at all either!
