I'm tryiing this now, as my K800 has gone belly up, and I'm gonna try and install the new firmware.
Have downloaded WotanClient, and followd the instructions...
Switch off phone
Run WotanClient
clear password and login fields
hold 2+5 then connect the cable (computer recognises USB device connected)
release 2+5 keys, and click start on WotanClient
The status box in the client now says...
Connect your phone, pressing "C"
waiting...
phone found.
and nothing else seems to be happening, either on the phone, or on wotanclient.
How long does it normally take to re-install the firmware, and what should happen as it is doing it?
Thanks
I seem to have got this far, do you have to get a login and password to continue? Unfortunately I dont have a paypal account

I can keep , holding down 2+5 hearing the beep from my computer, releasing the keys, then pressing start button.
The screen says phone found (I think) and then what I guess is the firmware before quickly (less than half a second) changing to new screen saying:
Define login and password!
==FAILED==
Duration 00:01
I can then unplug the phone , remove battery, reinsert it, hold down keys, press start and the same happens.

Yes, I have downloaded them, I already had them on the computer from when I have updated the firmware for the phone in the past.
Thanks for the help though!!

Are you sure you are following the correct steps?
Or did wotan change there settings?
Cheers

I too have the same behavior: I have battery/SIM/memory removed, WotanClient runs, updates, I clear the login/password fields, click Start, insert battery, hold 2+5 on my K800i, and the log says:
Connect your phone, pressing "C"
waiting...
or, when I get a bit luckier:
Connect your phone, pressing "C"
waiting...
phone found.
phone found at position 1

My battery was almost full when I started. Don't know how much of it is left after having tried WotanClient about 20 times.
Have been trying WotanClient on XP and Vista, on Acer laptops. Had already installed SEUS and USB Flash Device drivers and rebooted the laptops.
Please help! Thank you people!

i have sort of the same problem... when i plug my w300i without the sim card in to computer and with wotanclient 1.1.2 it recognizes the phone, and i select the settings i want and click start, but It just stays there and doesnt connect to the ftp. i have 2 credits, so it should work already
if anyone can help it would be much appreciated. By the way, Does anyone have the older versions of Wotan that maybe you dont have to pay for? they seem to be working. But with this new version, holding 2 + 5 doesn't work for me. I hold down the C button on my phone and it gets detected.

Hi i am having the same problem as well and its the same problem with most people on this forum. Here is a screenshot of what i see,
http://img246.imageshack.us/img246/3491/wotanzz8.jpg
I followed the steps, I opened up wotan and cleared username and password, held 2 and 5 together plugged it into my desktop computer, clicked start and this is the screen i get for a long long time, it stays there for ever and does not change, tried waiting 30+ and nothing happens.
Anybody tell me my problem please?

clear the login and password fields, press start, press and hold the 2 and 5 keys, then connect the cable.
