I see on the SE website that there is an update for the S700i. Anyone know what this update does? If only it would make the S700i compatible with duo PRO...

i'm assuming it'll upgrade the firmware to a nice recent version. might try mine as soon as i borrow my mates' station thingy.....

no PRO DUO support, only some bug fixes.... etc...

Just bought a DSS-25 specifically to upgrade, only to find I can't because the new firmware isn't approved by O2. Arghhhh!!!

Looks like more drastic action might be needed...

i just wanted to ask, because im still kind of noobie so sorry about this. ive been on the se website and it says something starting with 'D' is required for updating may i ask what this is? and what it actually does? why is it needed neways? and where can i get this thing?

thx ^-^

DSS stands for 'desk synchronisation stand' and it's basically an overpriced usb cable which connects your phone to your PC. To upgrade your phone, you need a DSS-20 or DSS-25 I believe.

have a look on the SonyEricsson website:

oooohhhh i see now thx a lot for the info ^^

will it be able to upgrade the firmware via Bluetooth? or you can only do it with the cable?

Posted by: pc1271

Only using the cable (desk stand). Bluetooth is controlled by the phone software which you are trying to update!

Is there any place I can get dss-25 some where gta?

Posted by: pc1271

I got mine at www.mobilefun.co.uk you could try kelkoo.co.uk and do a search for "dss-25". Depends which country you're in I guess!

Ok, I have a real NOOB question which I'm sorry for. How do I check which firmware I have on my S700i? My buddy said it's *#06#, but that displayed my IMEI number

> * < < * < *

Where > is a right joystick (or pad or whatever) press and < is a left press.

Pick Service Info from that menu, then Software Info

where can i download the new firmware?

Look at www.sonyericsson.com then select your country and then find Sony Ericsson Update Service. If you have Dss-20 or Dss-25 you can upgrade you fw

vipburgr is absolutely correct and this bears repeating... You have to have a DSS-20 or 25.

You cannot update your phone's firmware with just a DCU-11 cable or a CSS-20 Speakerphone Stand or via bluetooth or infrared. (I know someone was about to ask that...
