P900 Firmware Upgrade Here!!!

[zygote]

Finally managed to complete the update, versions as follows:

Before:

Phone CXC162022 R3B004
Bluetooth CXC 12529 R5D
Organiser CXC162021 R1B01
CDA CDA162003/5 R1A04

After:

Phone CXC162022 R3C006
Bluetooth CXC12529 R5D
Organiser CXC162021 R2B02
CDA 162003/5 R2A10

The numbers must differ depending on where you got your phone. Mine was bought in the UK, sim free.

And after all the hassle of trying to update, don't really notice any difference!!

Can't seem to get beyond the 'Please wait....checking the installation of SE Update Service' screen.

What am I doing wrong?

@Rudedog..

Thanks for the update!

Mine arrives tomorrow and that was all I was worrying about missing

FINALLY!! Once I was able to download 100% of the update, the flash went flawlessly. It took exactly 19 minutes.

Item Before After
Phone R3A024 R3C006
CDA R1A04 R2A10
Organizer R1A05 R2B02
Bluetooth R5D R5D

Took a few tries to restore. Kept getting the message that the device was busy, try again. After about 8 retries, it worked and the phone is completely back to "as-was" status with the new firmware. Have not investigated anything yet.

Interesting. I also got the "device was busy" message. Did what you did, just kept trying. When it worked, the P900 was back (minus voicetags) as it was.

I can confirm what others have. The HBH-200 now displays incoming caller ID on the display. Clock is larger, etc.

I have noticed that while runing the Tracker Task Manager which displays available memory, with the identical programs running that I had before the flash, under the new firmware, I have gained about .45 to .5 of a MB in free space.

You can't run the update unless your phone is in the sync station fully charged or just about fully charged. Been using my phone for less than a week & happy that I bought it unlocked and happy that SE has already issued an update to the firmware!

This thread just got sticky all of the sudden. Eww....

The reason the phone is classed as busy is because the phone runs a background rebuild of various bits and bobs on it's first boot with the new firmware.

Leave it switched on for 5 minutes and then try a restore, it will then restore properly and you won't get that error message

The webpage that tells you that you are successful in updating has a link to "restore" and it has a java embedded timer that counts down .. nifty but Im sure most will miss it, if they anything like me.. they just want to check the phone boots!

Sorry for double posting (again)..

But Im getting word from two of my friends on Orange with a P900, that the firmware won't update. Both have tried unsuccessfully to upgrade and will have to take them a service point to update with a non-orange build, before they can use the service in the future.

If any Orange users have managed to update, Id be interesed if you did anything special beforehand

I'm having the same issue, I think for me it's java-related since it asks to download some java component and then quickly transfers me to a MICROSOFT site where it says "this page cannot be viewed without MSJM(microsoft java machine), or something like that, it's really annoying, I don't know what to do. Anyone have any ideas?
