SEUS cannot currently update the EROM - see the first post.
Ah, but that's why I asked as
1) Darrrengf says that service centres have to update the EPROM to perform the firmware update - if SEUS can do it without the update then why can't service centres ?
***
UK Service Centers dont use SEUS. Service Centers connect via another way, When they connect using there own update system, this then tells them to update the EROM before continuing
***
2) He's also said that SEUS needed to be rewritten to be able to update the EPROM so as to be able to update the firmware - if that was/is correct it implies that the EPROM should also be have been upgraded by SEUS as one wasn't possible without the other - see my confusion ?
***
You can update the phones firmware with out upgrading the EROM. Again SEUS does this, Currenlty SEUS can only handle one thing at a time, this is the Update that it was intentialy made to do
Updating the EROM is not just pressing the C Key and the update takes place. The update uses a few more keys at a time, unplugging the phone, Pressing the keys again, removing the battery and it then updates.
This is why SEUS doesnt update the EROM, They are trying to make the software do all that so you dont have to mess around.
***
Perhaps while SEUS isn't updating the EPROM that line should be removed from "improvements" as it doesn't apply to all devices. The same probably applies to the internet button action. Perhaps a seperate section is needed for these 'differences' which are dependant on flash method.
***
On the first post it does say SEUS doesnt update the EROM
***
And can someone tell me if the Nokia like menu which pops up on a short push of the power button is new with R1ED001, or has it been there all the time and I have been pushing the power button for too long to see it previously ?
***
Its been there all the time
***
Hope this answers your questions.

Please all, don't be dizzy with this EROM upgrade. With or without this upgrade, your phone simply works perfectly, right? Why bothers? IMHO, the phones sent to Service Center are mostly troublesome. And the solution is by updating EROM. Remember, it was said that the' inability to power on' is very rare, so not all phones suffer from this phenomenon. So, enjoy the phone!

Other findings on R1ED001, please others verify:
After updating via SEUS, I don't know if Wotan too, I notice that some mp3 files can't be played anymore. It was revealed by accident when I scrolled through my Music folder. I have these message alerts downloaded from SE Fun&Downloads section of K800i or other type, I forget---Jangler, Alien Noise and Pulse---and now they simply can't be played! Whenever I manually play it, it says : can't play this sound. Other mp3 files--ringtones, songs--can be played perfectly. I don't know why. I have deleted them, and re-installed, but it was no success. As a note, they are just fine when played with WinAmp, on K750i and W800i. On the previous f/w they are played perfectly..
Anyway, as I'm on Opera Mini, I can't provide a direct link to get the files I mean. But the two of the files are under Message Alerts on:
http://wap.sonyericsson.com/fun/mxhtml/changedevice?cc=GLOBAL&dn=K800i&lc=en
Alien Noise and Jangler are located on page 2 of Message Alerts section. By PC, get .dd file, open with NotePad to get the true link. Via phone browser, just download it. As a note K610 user with this R1ED platform can't play the files either.
EDIT: Pulse can be found under M600i Message Alert section:
http://wap.sonyericsson.com/fun/mxhtml/changedevice?cc=GLOBAL&dn=M600i&lc=en
I just remembered of which phone Pulse officially belongs to just now.

Why the constant, and constant is appropriate, complaining and worrying, and in some cases whining about the EROM? If you update your phone and it works then guess what, EROM update is not needed. I have yet to update mine (updated to R1J via Wotan and then back to R1E via SEUS) with the same EROM, and my phone works just fine. It seems that some people need something to worry about to be happy. If the phone does not work then take it to SE, if it does, then why bother.
As for Darren, he is doing a service by providing info on the side. His word is not gospel and he should not be held to task for anything he says as he is doing his best to help.
Some people here are less than grateful.

I worry because the EROM update is for to avoid issues when phone won't start... And i don't want to wake up one day that my phone is dead...
I tend to avoid troubles..

Has your phone crashed once or not started because of this?
Second, if it does not start, SE will fix it. End of problems. Some people in this thread look for problems and reasons to complain (not saying you).

I am very happy with my phone and my EROM too, I was only curious why SESC in Hungary doesn't do the EROM update... as in my first post in this issue said probably the EROM update isn't necessary at all, this is because SE released the SEUS version finally... Just a theory again.. I like to look behind things...
BTW: R1ED001 improvements with the camera speed is great! Good job SE!

Agreed,
However the EROM issue is being over blown. It just gives some people, not all, something to obsess over. As I said, my EROM is still the same and I have upgraded my phone 3 times. No problems at all. It starts up, shuts down, and continues on like normal.
