Hi all,
I debranded my K800i thre handset and everything went swell. I'm trying to install the msn messenger client that three are offering but am getting a 'operation failed' error. Has anyone else managed to get the msn messenger client working after debranding their three K800i handset?
Just trying to work out if it affectedit somehow.
Cheers
Subzuk

bronx,
I believe you have to check the firmware yourself. There is no way we can guess what it is.
As for Phillipines coverage, if it is a K800i, it should be fine. It supports worldwide freq. bands.
thanks so much obentou! =) was kinda worried that my k800 wont work here or might cause a lot of problems

That is the same message I was getting when trying to access the Applications or games folders on the phone memory. Turned out to be a memory corruption which requires re-programming or a new memory etc. Phone has been back to O2 for over 2 weeks now for repair.
It is possible you have some sort of memory access issue. (Note that my handset had never been flashed / debranded so the fault developed and wasnt caused by me).

I will try to reflash my phone using Wotan, hoping it will fix my problem with "Operation failed" when trying to access Applications or Games folder (see other thread).
Newest Wotan client, 0.9.910 from 2006-09-21, has "DB2020 EROM upgrade from R3A011 to R3A016 added".
What is EROM, and do I want or need to upgrade it?

Something i've noticed on R1ED is that on using applications such as pullface. Where you used to be able to allow permissions to allow the app to read and write data, your options are now limited to always ask or no.

Wotan recommends removing SIM and cards before updating using their service. The phone has to be booted into a special mode for updating using the USB cable, by holding the 'C' button. I guess there's a possibility of ruining the SIM or card. When updating OTA, the SIM is not removed.

I have the the same problem. I think it is due to lack of 3 certificate, or the preinstalled chat application stub. I have searched here and on other sites, found no solution yet.

Wotan supplies generic, unbranded firmware. It will be upgraded and debranded all in one. You will have the My Friends app after debranding.
You may need two credits now, one for upgrading EROM, one for upgrading firmware.
