Yup, the SEUS was buggy before and still is up to now that's why I dont try using it anymore! It's really weird that the other unofficial solutions work better than the official one (as in my case)..I've seen/read more problems with SEUS than all the unoffial ones combined. I dont think se realizes the gravitiy of the situation we owners are getting into everytime the SEUS f***s up our phones..Cmon se WAKE UP!

@sweetmate

As requested, I have noted that support for all UK branded mobiles on SEUS has been removed since the introduction of R2AE033.

If anyone can still perform updates on a branded phone (from any country), let me know and I will note this in the first post.

I have been saying for weeks now in various threads that the update service is still not working correctly yet people still try and use it!

It sounds strange but you would be better off using the unofficial solutions. At least then you can control what firmware region and language pack goes on your phone!

I recommend using SETOOL for silencing the camera shutter. When you download this it gives you the xml file which you can edit. The camera shutter sound is a true or false value, then you update firmware and you have silenced shutter, or you could use SETOOL to replace the shutter sound. I think the shutter sound is in AMR format. As soon as EMMA II is back up I will be able to try and replace the shutter sound plus a few message tones too! Can't wait!

@gwendal

Go here for information on Setool server. To use setool, need either a T28 serial cable or a Fighter USB cable for fast flashing. Then you will need to purchase a Credit, 1 for unlocking and another for flash. (decustomize/upgrade)

@gbrooks3 & ~DC:UK~

Is it possible to actually remove the camera sound using SETool without pressing "C" button as I now have to (I used Davinci)?

Well, i am not totally sure as i dont often use Setool for this feature but you can change the camera sound. Therefore if you create a "blank" camerashutter.amr file then write it to the phone, you wont have any sound due to the blank sound file.

@vee has more experience in this feature than myself. I am sure he will post the correct method if mine is wrong.

@gbrooks3

Yes, I just read their pdf-file explaining how to replace sound files. 3 problems: 1) Whats the exact name of the sound to be replaced? 2) How do I create an empty sound file? 3) Where do I buy some credits?

Am I right that I don't have to reflash my phone, only replace a single file using their instructions? How about master reset? Will I have to do that (because then all of my settings will be gone anyway...)?

yes gbrooks is right... you can replace original sound with any other sound so you can also replace it with silent sound. I'll test it in next few days and will post result. if anyone wants to try here are the instructions:

http://www.setool.net/write_files.rar

and also look at the support forum on setool site for paths etc.

@vee

I read that file and I know now how to set things up, I just don't know what the camera sound name is... I figure I need the exact name in order to replace it...

AAarghh, stupid me... the name is mentioned above...
