SEUS will only update the K750 to K750. To flash to W800 you need to use either Davinci or another 3rd party program (for free) such as PhoneXS.

Once you flash to w800, you can't use SEUS anymore, as the IMEI and the Firmware revision do not match and SEUS doesn't recognise it.

Did you manage to update the phone?

His Emachines blew up (for the 4th time) so no...

He's offline so I doubt we'll find out until later.

The SEUS was a bit rubbish, cant see any difference at all!

I've just had my K750i unlocked and flashed to W800i. I got it done by a Star Unlocking, a postal service on eBAY for £9 (+ £2 postage to send it to them)

Certainly money well spent and I received it back within 48 hours!

I'm now on firmware R1BC002. Not sure what my old K750i f/w was but it was pretty poor in comparison. The new one is faster, the speaker / headphone volume is much louder and it now picks up a better quality signal.

Only slight gripe is that the old f/w used to show a preview panel of the first line of a new text message before opening the text itself the new f/w doesn't. Is this possible to change?

No you can't change it because you've lost the activity menu when you upgraded to W800i. I'm surprised you paid for it when you can do it yourself for free?

Oh right ta I didn't think it was something that could be fixed.

When you say "Activity Menu" is that the menu which you press the button in the middle of the top row that has now become the Walkman button?

I thought you had to buy a cruiser cable or teminator dongle or something to flash the phone? I've only got the USB one that came with the phone and don't you have to pay for credits aswell?

I thought at the time £11 all in was cheap as the Phone Doctor shop in Liverpool city centre were asking £25!

I didn't realise Virgin unlocked them for free until last night either!
