Hi, i decided to change my CDA from America to Western Europe, so i can update my firmware from R1GA026 to R1HA036.
So i would like you to help me make a checklist of the things to backup from the phone, also if there is any special consideration, it would be useful to post it here for reference.

I know i have to backup my contacts and T9 Dictionary, also i know i will lose the activity menu shortcut list i have made.

What else should be backed up before proceeding with the updating via SEUS?


Many thanks in advance!

Notes, tasks, alarms. Did you do it with MPE?

Hi, I just updated my phone, via SEUS changing the CDA to Western-Europe, however, instead of R1HA036 i got R1HA035, anyone knows the differences between both firmwares?

Any other Western-Euro user who can confirm this firmware version?

Thanks in advance!


P.D.: If i upload the original R1HA036 drivers, they should work fine, right?

The 035 seems like a regional/branded firmware. The 036 looks like a generic one.

@Tranced: Thanks, i will try a CDA from that database and run SEUS again...

EDIT: My firmware its not branded at all, at least, i havent noticed any branding so far... but I want 036 anyway

I don't think __035 is branded firmware as i tried to update my W995 with serveral CDAs but never got R1HA036 with SEUS. It always installs R1HA035.

Is there something wrong or R1HA035 is the latest one?? [addsig]
