I recently bought an unlocked sim free K850 from expansys. It shows software R1EA031. I loaded the vodafone ireland MMS, GPS and ISP settings and then tried to get a firmware update through SEUS. It tells me that there are no updates available. I uninstalled and reinstalled SEUS but kept getting the same message. I reluctantly did a master reset on the phone and tried SEUS again but still no update available. Now I have lost some of the themes, pictures and ringtones that came with the phone and still have not upgraded my software. What am I doing wrong?

maybe your phone is branded, it isnt?

you could try 3rd parties like davinici or wotanserver

If you would take a look at the k850i FirmWare thread, you would see that the FirmWare is coming out in different regions at different times. You didn't need to do a master reset...
MyPhoneExplorer is the new FMA!

Why not check in which region the firmware you want is released and then tell SEUS you're form that region when you start it?
