The first time i used Davinci to put the w800 on my K70 phone. It didnt work properly, and the camera gave a wrong camera driver (0.9) upgrade to version 4.5 or later error. Was most dissapointed! This is how to fix this problem:

You'll need 2 davinci credits (or just 1 to return to k750).

Step 1, use davinci to downgrade K750 to an older firmware, i used R1L. Finalise etc

Step 2, use SEUS to update the phone, you should get the latest frmware! This will update the camera software too, Davinci doesnt seem to do this!

Step 3, apply the W800 firmware to the k750 with Davinci, everything works 100%. I have so far found it more stable than the K750 firmnware.

Hope this helps, as i was very frustrated the first time. Doing it this way stops any screen overlay issues, which i dont think anyone really noticed! But i found annoying. Transparency of menu items works correctly too.

Hope this works for everone else!

You need 2 credits because as I said in the original post, SEUS will upgrade your phone to Camera driver 4.5 which Davinci doesnt do!

Alot of people have had problems upgrading to w800 because the camera no longer works, if they had camera software version 4.4 (reffered to as 0.9 in the error message) after flashing!

This is how you get around it, by upgrading with SEUS!

You'd only need 2 credits if u need to downgrade to use SEUS!
