> K800i power problem! HELP!
Bookmark topic
Got it working! Decided to pluck up the courage to download the Wotan programme, connect my K800i to it and bingo! It's working!
It automatically updated the phone's EROM when I connected it, didn't cost me any credits. I'd bought a couple just in case I needed them, though don't think it used it.
The text messages are still on the phone as are all my settings, pics etc. By the way, the client programme will tell you to hold down 'C' when you connect your data cable, that won't work - press and hold 2 and 5 simultaneously as you then plug the cable in, it should then work. The EROM update took all of 4 seconds!
Big relief!

Gaming Guy - When you reflashed the phone through Wotan did you lose all your text messages?
Iv been told this wont happen if i only update the EROM? But im bot sure how to just do that and not a full reflash.
i dont know as the phone didnt power on, so i couldnt see the data on it as i got it from ebay. im pretty sure it will erase everything
@Sammy_boy
Glad it worked out ok for you!

Though I have a rather silly problem now - I shut the Wotan client programme down, and now can't find it on my start menu or in any directories - it must have installed somewhere as it downloaded and installed!
Damn I'm a muppet and a complete noob when it comes to firmware!
@ian - give it a go, it's fairly simple to do, it got my phone up and running with no extra cost, just a brief Erom update

How do i know that when i try and connect it again it will restore the EROM and not the frimware??
When you update EROM you must press 2 and 5 button in the phone together instead of c button. Please read again the link that I gave to you earlier. It should have enough info on how to do it on wotan courtesy of machanic. I used kulan when I upgrade my EROM.

One thing I don't understand though is how my taking the phone apart would cause a software problem?
Maybe a static? This problem also seems to occur when ppl changing sim card or letting the batt run out of juice by itself while the phone is still on. I also have no idea but usually it happen with older EROM R3A011.

Hi Sammy_boy, congrat to your phone. What did you do that make the phone get recognised with wotan client? Does it need longer time to take the batt out (how long?) Or did you short the internal batt? Please share with us as some ppl seems still have problem to get the phone recognised by the update client! Cheers.

All I did was press the 2 and 5 keys instead of the 'C' key and whilst plugging the USB cable in and off it went!
