K750i>W800i Flashing?
I'm buying a w800i case for my phone, (£10, with fitting, good deal?) and it would make sense to make the software match it. Is it very hard to do? Or should I trust a shop to do it?

It depends how long you've had the phone. The software programming inside the K750i changed in 2006, known as the CID. Some phones are CID36 and some phones are CID49.
If you download the flash client from www.davinciteam.com and click on READ/TEST CID and plug your phone in whilst switched off and holding the 'c' key, it will tell you your CID number. Once you've got that, come back here and let me know and I can help you more

You might want to check here, lots of useful info, there might be a chance it's already covered and if not you can always register and ask.
http://www.expansys.com/forum.asp?code=K750I_BLACK A shop wouldn't do it for you. DVT is normally the way though. I don't think SEUS will do it. |

Will do. Mine's an Orange one, so I think it's been played around a bit by them, is that ok?

All that happens is that SE release the FW to the networks who then cripple it by adding shitty software mods of their own. Orange SW is especially different, judging by mine. |

Yeah. For example, my mates K750i can send games Via bluetooth, but mine cant, and mine has an orange thing on top of the games menu, linking to their games wap page.

If your phone is CID49, follow freezebg's tutorial. Very simple proccess, even I managed to do it

The "Download more games/pictures/whatever" is blooming annoying. |

Firstly, you have to make sure that your songs are in the correct folders, and this involves using a PC. For example, if you received a song via Bluetooth, you wouldn't be able to play it until you have put that song into an artist and album folder via a PC, as you can't do it on the phone. Secondly, the awfully bright Orange colour clashes with most of my themes

1) Matches the case I want to buy
2) Gets rid of orange stuff Actually, I've made a point there, why dont I just upgrade to a standard k750i one? Would that be faster/better? |

Hmm dunno. I can buy a w800i case for £10 anyway. Oh, and another thing, I cant get the update service to work either!

I think the K750i looks much nice than the W800i, I don't know why you'd want to change that lol.

Oh thats ok. I've only just found my phone, with a 20% charge, so I think I'll leave the updating until tommorow, just in case.

Will SEUS flash a 750 to an 800 then? I always thought you needed to use DVT for that.

To be honest, I find the media player too quiet anyway, it's not just that, but it sounds acoustically flat as well. Maybe that's just MP3s in general. USB doesn't work on this firmware though... I keep meaning to flash it but I can't be bothered. Doesn't it charge on USB? |

It does, but i dont feel ok with doing an update with a low charge. I'll give it 10 mins and go for it.
