I have read this thread but can't really seem to 'string' all this info together. Get it? String? Threads?? Anyway...I wanna update my firmware on my S700i. I have R3L002 software. I wanna update and tried the other day. I bought a USB cable (can't remember the model code) but think it was the right one. I downloaded all the stuff from the SE site and tried to update, but when I actually try to update it nothing happens. Also my computer always says the device has been installed but may not work properly. This is when I plug the USB into the port and connect it to my phone. Is it this complicated or am I just the teeniest bit retarded??? Please don't just ignore me guys. Thanks!!

Hi PWallwin. Welcome to Esato.

It can't be updated using just a plain USB Cable.

You have to have the SE Dss-20 or Dss-25 syncstation which was originally made for the P series. Nothing else will work.

I got mine on Ebay for about £12 inc p+p.

It is not just good for updating, you can transfer files from pc to phone quickly as well.

My complete update took about 10 mins on Broadband.

That was a nice welcome - thanks. Will look on ebay and prob get one. The main reason I want to update my firmware is - when I'm sent 2 messages on the same txt, I only receive the 1st part of the msg, then mayb an hour or 2 later I receive the 2nd part. Been on the phone to O2 and SE but they both say I need an upgrade to patch it.

Is it just with double text messages that you have this problem?

Also check you SMS Access setting is set to "GSM" and not "GPRS".

MENU >>> CONNECTIVITY >>> DATA COMMUNICATION >>> SMS ACCESS.

I had problems with my S700 until I changed that setting. Now all is fine, but you still may have to upgrade.

Hope this helps.

Hi guys, right, i think i have alot of your answers. There is another thread which details latest software updates for the S700i and also covers most of your queries.
To use SEUS you need to have an unbranded phone. The way SEUS checks this is by looking at the phones CDA number. I was branded to O2 but used SETOOL to change my CDA, now SEUS works fine - im currently on R3M008 with a CDA of 102300/20 R2A.
As far as the S700i goes, I'm pretty sure you DO need a DSS-20 or DSS-25 stand to use SEUS. However, you have to use a T68 / SEFighter equivalent cable to utilise SETool - if you need to change your CDA number. I have heard that it is possible to get alternate driver to enable your DSS stand to function as such, but I cannot confirm this.
In answer to camera shutter sound. As far as my experience went, all that was required to enable silent shutter was a settings reset rather than a full reset under the master reset menu, thereby retaining all data etc. I had put on the phone in between the flash upgrade and the reset.
Simply. Once paying for one flash credit to use SETool and buying a DSS-20 or DSS-25 you can have all the free upgrades from SEUS as they are released.
Hope to help

I change my S700i CDA with Davinci with the DSS-25, then updated with SEUS, since SETOOL only sells unlimited credits Davinci is a cheaper option, AFAIK SETOOL hasn't yet the driver dor the DSS-2x.
