I've read through this thread, but am not really any the wiser. Is it possible to flash the K750i to the W800i's firmware without paying for this service? I ask because I am not able to use internet payment services.

Thanks for your help, PM me if necessary.


It is possible to flash the K750i with the software for the w800i, but this is usually a pay for service which companies charge a nomiinal fee for. Our fee for this would be £10, and others are roughly the same.

The cost comes from the fact that some form of SonyEricsson tool is required, which is NOT CHEAP.

A 2G sim card is one which supports only GSM, it will not use the UMTS Network.

They can be sourced from any high street phone retailer.

Hi I'm back. Thanks for your response Cellcorner.

In the mean time I've bought a SE T28 service cable and eventually I managed to unlock the SE T637 (so it seems). The problem now is, that phone is not working. I get "insert correct sim card". When I emailed the GSM4Software helpdesk, I get a reply with "you need to ask provider for a 2G SIM card; the phone is unlocked". I am switching provider and did not get an answer (yet) to my question what a 2 G SIM card realy is.
Can anybody clearify / help me?

Thank you in advance!

p.s.: I left my SIM card when trying to unlock with Multiserver software. Was this a good or a bad thing?

I am planning to buy a SE z710i and I was told by a SE person it was identical to the w710i except for the fitness features on the Walkman model. Can the z710i be converted to w710i completely? How?

My firmware hasn't been updated since I bought the phone way back when. I called sony ericsson and there is no firmware upgrade center in my area. Odd, I live in NY. I guess the phone is too old. They told me to download the update service software and buy a DCU-11. I did this, but after the splash screen told me to turn off my phone and remove the sim card and then put the battery back in, nothing happens. The phone is on com 4 and it is enable. Still nada.

Is there a way to flash my sony ericsson with the latest firmware for my phone. How do it get the firmware and can it be updated with a DCU-11.

TIA

I just bought a w810i from Rogers and i want to use mp3's as ringtones but i was wondering if unlocking would help me do this or do i have to debrand. It would be perfect if i could just unlock it because i would like to use this phone overseas instead of debranding and then unlocking.


PLEASE HELP


I am in the same situation. I just bought a rogers w300i and have a cingular sim but I am having problems send picture texts and I cannot connect to the internet through cingular. Can anybody help?

Hi
I have reach to some models of sony ericsson sets,like T610 and K800
that contain TEMS Pocket on them.My question is: Can I flash the TEMS software on my PC and upload it to another mobile set?(as you know the 3G version of TEMS Pocket costs 16000$).
