Anyway where is our fellow named 'darrengf'? He introduced us with this EROM stuff few pages back, didn't he? After R1ED001 is out, he never appeared..hm, how are you, friend?
I thought he'd said he would be on holiday for a few weeks so would help people as much as possible before he went (and presumably will continue when he ruturns). Can't find it though so might just be imagining it. Anyone else remember that?

hey
i updated my via wotan first to R1ED001 and along with that to the new erom also.
After that I updated the to R1EG001 via SEUS.
But i still have the same old f****** up switch off problem in my K790i which was there right from the time i purchased it.
It switches off atleast 3 times in a day. Its too pissin off.
is there anything i can try or should iu go to the service center?
I thought the erom was supposed to handle wsod problems, strange im still having this prob

this one sounds like a hardware defect... does it freeze for no reason as well?

I echo this.
Funny thing was my phone never did it for it's first few months, now suddenly the screen will flash to stand-by without warning. Pressing a key resumes whatever I was up to.
Admittedly, I have not updated my firmware, so there is a likelyhood that it has been solved, but a problem shared is a problem halved!

On previous models, like k700,
recommended a fully charged battery when updating fw from SEUS using the special table stand, but when you use the DCU-60 cable, I'm not quite sure it's necessary, since that cable normally also charges the phone. But to be on the safe side, I would still recommend to charge the phone before you make the update.

always have 80% or more
what the erom is from "the_laser" himself
q: what is "erom upgrade" for db2020 phones (k610/v630/k790/k800/w850) and how to use it?
a:
semc gone crazy with security in db2020 phones, so if anything secure damaged (as they thinks) - EROM not starts phone and phone is completely dead.
in early EROM releases (R3A011 versions) SEMCsec developer done some error,because of that EROM sometimes can't setup GDFS good.
we will see it as RED BLINK during phone power on. and as "gdfs startup error:29" when we trying to flash it.
SEMCsec released then EROM updater, which is upgrade known EROM to new version. that new version solves red blink error (of course, if security units intact). i decided that it is not fair to keep that loader only for emma, so it is embedded in setool2 from now on.
usage is very simple.
select correct db2020 model.
check "use server" in settings (credits will NOT be deducted)
connect phone to COM/UFS cable (USB will NOT work)
press RECOVERY
EROM will be upgraded and your problems CAN be solved.
sadly, SEMCsec not released anything to correct problem, when security units or gdfs totally damaged. they fear of illegal usage

BTW, I updated my K800 from within the phone update service. Whole download (via 3g) and update process took about 30 minutes. While I was driving home from the work. Software installation took most of the time - phone restarted twice. Now works as good as before. The only think I really wished to become better was mp3 palyback volume and it indeed became after update. In general usage I didn't experience any problems even before update. Of course You don' t need battery to be charged by 100%. By my experience 50% charged is far enough.
peace

Well Im back did any one miss me.
Dont all shout at once.
Oh and my holiday was Gr8.
SE are very very popular in Greece, infact very pop indeed
Any way I have been quickly going through the thread and noticed my name mention a couple of times. (bless me)
But to answer one of the questions i know that is being asked and thi is EROM.
Now i have a done a little checking as ive only been back in the country a few hours, but the EROM still cant be performed through the SEUS. The EROM can still only be updated via the service centers or Wotan.
SEUS placed the update on so a few of the known faults would be fixed and resolve some of the peoples problems.
Regards the WSOD. The EROM is the fault and this would need to be updated.
Now please dont shout at me if this is not fully uptodate. But i will try and find out more when i know it.
