Hello all.
Havent been on for a while. Just been too busy!
Anyway. Looking through the froum today a see that you can upgrade the firmware yourself. I have a couple of questions regarding that.

1. DCU-11 or DSS-25? Do they both do the same thing? What is better?

2. If i put new firmware on my K700i will it wipe all my files etc? Like videos and MP3's?

3. Is there a cable that can do Nokia and SE phones thats futre proof cuse i got some phones that need unlocking and ebaying...lol

Many thanks

1. you can ONLY do online updates with a DSS-20 or DSS-25

2. NO

3. I've not heard of one and how can anything be future proof?

Ok thanks masseur!
So i need the cable and not the stand?

With 3, I ment is there a cable out there that has nokia and SE connections on it?

Thanks alot
Mat

Edit- No cancel that. I mean you have to use the stand thing, not just the cable...

the USB cable is built into the stand, its not anything that you attach to the stand, so you have no choice except to have the stand too

unfortunately SE don't have a standalone cable that can do online updates

OK many thanks.
Just about to buy a DSS-25 stand on ebay then. Going for £13.75. Quite cheap i thought!

Thanks for your help

Can you unlock and unbrand the K700i using the DSS-25 and one of the many server/credit systems?

@Mike.P?
No. A T28 service cable is the one to use.

hehe, not quite. i can use my DSS20 cradle to unlock all se phones. I wouldnt advise you do this, i am just saying that its possible.

Because the platform sends bogus messages while charging, that is why!!!..But why this change of heart?..We sense a charger connected, oops, we will not shut down after all!!!..*********************** UI BASIC, HOLD YOUR HORSES
