I am trying to do a f/w update to R1N0035 in the USA (from R1A).. but the SE website doesnt have the K750i as a phone option!!... In essence, i cant choose the correct f/w!.. is there a work around??.. and if so, how does any1 in the US do a f/w update for their K750i.. Should i choose the UK site??...

Yes, choose the UK site, or pick Global Support.

No

SEUS will update your mobile according to your CDA and region not according to actual location.... [addsig]

@neox, I'm in NYC, I use either Global Support (where you don't pick any country, just click on support) or UK. It works fine.

My phone had an earpiece problem, so SE USA replaced it with another handset. It works fine now... so far thankfully!

@ac328

I would normally expect a corporation like SE to be quite good and responsible in the quality of service provided to its customers....

After last cUck OP I should imagine they would have tested it b4 hand and hopefully will be ok...

So I can only hope that now the update available thru SEUS should be fine.... If not they have to fix the mobile up for you.... If they get it wrong that is... [addsig]
