hello,
I've install the "generic" firmware "cutomize CH/blue" from Davinci, and it's works fine
but when I check the upgrade from the phone or the update service tool from the PC it's say it's the last build ... how could I update to R1DA038 except pay a new 10€ to davinci ???

@ marciton

R1DA038 is only available for network branded handsets. Currently R1CA037 is the latest firmware for generic handsets.

Apparently there will be a newer firmware within a couple of weeks so hang tight for that before you pay for another Davinci credit.

Potentially stupid question - how do I know if my phone is branded or not? I mean I'd expect to see some branding bacgrounds and possibly customized internet access out of the box, but mine didn't have any of those. The box that it came in has TIM on it which I can only assume is a provider and my firmware is as follows:

R1CA037
prgg12004404_CHINA_SO R1CA037
EROM: 200-4341

Is there anywhere in the firmware that I can determine if it's branded?

Thanks

If it's branded the main menu icons are changed ,so just compare menu icons of K850 you have seen on the web and yours,also if it's branded the start-up animation is not the SE one(virgin,orange,voda...animated gifs)

Anyway as it seems I have a APAC FW (many european lang+many asiatic ones) SEUS releases FW updates to this version at the same time as European lang packs or we have to wait a couple of days/weeks more?
It's rumored that on the 20th of this month the ''big'' FW will be released I don't have any bug but I am expecing a better video recording quality

Go into the Main eng menu using the arrow key code and then go into, Service info, Software info and in there you will what software you have.

Come down to where it says Customization and this is where you get the info from

mine is 1201-7336 R5A, Which tells me its o2-uk.

If you can let me know I will let you know what yours is

A Couple of people have been asking me to Jbenchmark my phone as i currently have R1DA038 firmware.

I have done this and placed the info into a graph for every one, I have also jbenchamarked my SE w300i and Mototola V545. I will try to do more over the next couple of days, but if any of you have yours and want to pm me your results, I will put them on the spreadsheet.




Hope this helps

I have an unbranded phone, I am from France and I have no update, I am still in 037 and I have no problems with this phone, I have a 2GB sandisk M2 and I have no problem with it too.
I wait for the update only in order to increase the general speed of the phone and the speed when I use some soft with it.

(sorry if my english is bad, I am from France)
