Bookmark topic
Is this recommended for a perfectly working K790 just to convert it from R3A011 to R3A016 in order to avoid occurrence of the WSOD issue?
Please advice.
I am now running R1JC002 but the EROM is still R3A011.

If there is a way to update your EROM, why don't you do it?

All i wanted to know was whether the Wotan method mentioned in this post works only for dead phones or if it works ok on perfectly fine phones with R1JC002 firmware.

Machanic you are a legend! My K800i became a brick after I tried to sync contacts with my PC using the SE PC Suite. It was dead dead, nothing on power up, no lights nothing. Anyway I tried your post and it sorted it just fine. Thanks a million.
I had a small problem with the drivers, I thought you meant the standard phone drivers had to be on the pc - which I knew were. Instead, it's the usb flash device drivers. The only way I could get them installed was to install the SE Update Service off their site (
http://www.sonyericsson.com/s[....]1&pid=10407&fid=21839&esi=true ) , and the PC needed a reboot after the install, and only then did the drivers install (Not at the beginning like it was supposed to according to SE) . Anyhow, once they were on it all worked fine, the WotanClient reported:
EPROM: starting upgrade
EPROM: done
== FINISHED OK ==
I was worried that my phone might revert back to being locked to 3, but it was still unlocked too!
Thanks again.

Hi - Could anyone please help me out with my problem below?
Thanks in advance...
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Hi All - I have a K800i. I think I have a dead battery (got it from eBay for $1.99) . Please see the pics below. When my phone is turned off and I am charging it. It shows that the battery is charging via "Charging" indicator on the screen. (There is no red light near the Infrared port on the phone when PHONE is OFF and "Charging"). Btw, the screen shutsoff when charging and when i press "C" it comes back again. Is this by nature of SE K800i ?
Now when I turn on the phone it turns on for few seconds and turns off with a "steady" red light near the Infrared Port. (Pls. note that the light is not flashing! but just steady red color) Does that indicate that the battery is low? or exhausted? or is it the firmware ROM?
I think the fake battery (pictures above) doesn't seem to charge, then why does the Screen show "charging" when the phone is in OFF.
Btw does those batteries (figure above) look fake? Its seems to me that actuall the batteries are exhausted and is not charging.
Please advice.
Thank you,
- webchetan
