Hi all,
I have a serious problem with my k800, i can't hear nothing through the ear-piece when i'm making or receiving a call  (putting it on speaker seems to do the job but it ain't no ear-piece  , handsfree doesn't work either )
I had this problem before but it fixed its self after i connected and disconnected the phone from the computer, but now it doesn't seem to work. I've tried re-booting the phone, leaving the battery out for a few minutes but it's not working...
Right now the phone has R1GB001 firmware and i'm tempted to upgrade but i don't know if it's worth going to CID 53...
btw, can i upgrade firmware without going to CID 53 ?
Do you have any suggestions ? thx

@black devil
In my opinion it doesnt worth yet to upgrade to cid 53 since there's no way to modify cid 53 for now. U can upgrade the firmare using setool2lite or xs++ without upgrading the CID bro.. U can find what files u need to upgrade on tutorial

Good news ...
It seems that my k800 has a habbit of mending its self, after a day of talking on it only over the speaker today when i received a call i forgot to put it on speeker and just put it to my ear ... and the earphone was working 
Looks like i won't be upgrading it at least until CID 53 is moddable

Had a few problems with my K800 today (wouldn't power on/red IR LED flashing) and after I fixed it I thought I might as well get it upgraded to the latest firmware while I was at it.. now I think I preferred how it was before.
It was originally an unlocked Vodafone UK (CDA102511/15) model with R1CE001 firmware and I flashed it for the first time to R8BF003 - flashed ok, no problems.
However, the new firmware seems to be lacking a couple of features which I used all the time and I can't believe they're not standard features in new firmware!? - first thing is there is no popup shortcut window on the home screen, which was great for keeping a list of common shortcuts and also managing Java apps when you have a few running at the same time.
Second, I no longer seem to be able to use the K800 as a bluetooth remote control (HID) for my laptop.. is this really not a standard feature in these firmwares?
I didn't really mind how the phone ran before (it was a bit sluggish), but after seeing the list of bug fixes and improvements thought I might as well, and having track titles show up on my bluetooth headphones is also a nice bonus.. but if I knew these 2 features above would be lost I wouldn't have bothered.
Could anyone tell me if any other newer firmware apart from R8BF003 has these features, or if it's at least possible to install bluetooth HID function?
If not, I would appreciate if anyone has a link to original Vodafone R1CE001 firmware so I can downgrade.
EDIT: right, found out that the call/hang-up buttons are now remapped to being internet/popup menu buttons, and found remote control is now in Entertainment (although the backgrounds for hid files is not full-screen?).. would still prefer to go back to Vodafone branding tho, so if anyone could point me in the right direction for the firmware I'd appreciate it.

Found R1KG001 Vodafone version and have flashed it again.. but I've got a problem with the toolbar on this one too - it only seems to come up when a new event occurs, and there is no way to call it up otherwise!? It's pretty stupid as the top-right key is doing nothing when on the home screen. Is there any way to get to the toolbar manually?
For me the only real bonus over the original firmware is that the track display is working on the bluetooth headphones, but I'd take the convenience of the toolbar shortcuts over that, so if anyone has a solution or otherwise a link to the original firmware I would still appreciate any suggestions. |

I just updated the firmware of my K800i to the newest R8BF003 CID 52.
I used:
-MAIN: K800_R8BF003_MAIN_GENERIC_WI_RED52.mbn
-FS: K800_R8BF003_FS_S_E_EUROPE_RED52.fbn
-The finalization was done by xs++ (europe 3).
The problem is that I don't have the Dutch language anymore...
Therefore I need Europe 3 or better the Belgium-version.
(See this site: http://www.wotanserver.com/en[....]e-r8bf003-cid52-languages.html
==> Generic Trade Belgium
Languages: English, Dutch, French, German
T9: English, Dutch, French, German
or
==> Generic Europe 3
Languages: English, Dutch, French, German
T9: English, Dutch, French, German )
Does anbody know where to find these? I searced at sek750i and iprotebe, but there are only central europe files...
It may also be an older firmware version. I would appreciate it! Thanks in advance.

Hi,
You could always flash to k810i (R8BA024)- Europe 3 is available for that I think. Worked good for me.

I just flashed mine k800 R1JG001 M_EST_N_AFR with GENERIC_S_ASIA_LEVAN R8BF003 and so far so good. I have got latest text, video cam drivers and JAVA 7.7 but the phone still reads M_EST_N_AFR in software info under service menu. below is log dump
11:37:36| Platform: DB2020
11:37:36| OTP CID: 51
11:37:36| EROM CID: 53
11:37:36| EROM Color: Red
11:37:36| IMEI: 35908801xxxxxx
11:37:36| Phone ID: K800
11:37:36| Region: M_EAST_N_AFR
11:37:36| CDA: CDA102568/6 R8A
11:37:36| Firmware Version: R1JG001
11:37:36| EROM: R3A022
not bothered as long I have the latest firmware and the bugs fixed..but I have to say, the service menu info can be misleading sometimes.

What are the exact differences between R8BA024 and the newer R8BF003.
The only thing I can see is an newer LCD version. Has this made a difference?
Anyone notice anything else? |
