uh part 2 of my stupid question. how do i work this ? lol. I did everything up to the place where it gives directions. I mean wat do i do? theres no c on the phone. Can anyone give me the easy easy easy version of the directions? and also does the fiirmware speed up the ui?

instead of c, use the right shortcut button or internet default button, and YES, the new r9a002 latest firmware is very fast and stable, ever since i updated to this firmware, my m600i never crashed for straight 3 days now, menu opening and navigation is smoother and faster than the previous firmware

With the new firmware, anyone having problems getting Blackberry connect to work? I can't seem to get the Service books after the firmware upgrade. I'm with Cingular.

Ok, so I have been using the latest firmware for about a week and my phone still crashes regularly. The culprit, I believe, is messaging. I though maybe I didn't do the firmware upgrade right or that by recovering my backed up data that somehow the phone was still being corrupted. SO last night I did a clean firmware install and loaded my contacts, programs and email settings back on to the phone cleanly from scratch. Still crashes. Its messaging. The symtoms that lead me to beleive this are as follows: the phone lock ups most times I receive new email: the jog wheel is unresponsive, or time stops at the last email sequence, or messaging won't open, or close when I quit it from the task manager. ANyone else having similar problems? I have one email account, IMAP, about 200 or so messages on the sever, message notification is turned off. Any help or suggestions?

Im using a similar configuration, but I have two imap accounts using self signed certificates for SSL. Each account has roughly 400 messages. No problem here.

Perhaps one of your email might an currupted / illegal mail headers? You might want to use a computer client to clean that out. Put everything in another root level folder outside of your inbox. I know a few people who likes to organize their email that way, which does cause serious problems.

Hope that helps.

One small question. Should i backup all my text messages and documents before updating the firmware?

thanks!

[meow_mix]

Yes, everything will go poof in this update because it's a major update.
It is also good to note that this procedure can take up arond 45mins. After the update, the phone will spend a good 15 or so mins rewriting everything. Just have patience even though it looks like you've "bricked" it.

i was going to do this earlier before heading in to work, but i'll do it when i get home. one thing i did notice was that it said i had the latest version available, but i'm using R4A. I selected English (US) i'm not sure if that makes a difference.

Should i force it to do an upgrade even though it says i have the latest available? will it actually upgrade to R9A?

[skaquix]

ok i tried UK english this time and it still says i have the latest version available. I said continue anyways, and it installed R4A (which was already on my phone).

Right now this is what my phone displays:
Phone: CXC 162037 R4A002
BT: CXC 162058 R3A01
Org: CXC 162071 R3B01
CDA: CDA162016/69 R2A04

Can somebody tell me what i did wrong?

[skaquix]

bah...i think i figured out my problem. i have a non uk cda with a qwertz keypad and apparently the updated firmware for that version isn't out yet. lame. shame on me for buying from x1387. :/

Hi all,

I've searched for this questions already and hope you guys could shed some light. I will be getting my m600i from hong kong in a few days and was wondering whether it matters which SE website I get the firmware update from. If I go to, say the US or UK site, would I download a version that doesn't have chinese or will the firmware tool automatically select the version for me? The reason I am asking is that I think there is a newer version than the one from hong kong, but I am afraid I will not be able to read/write chinese after I download the non-hong kong version (if I could download that version at all).

Thanks.

I'm running a M600i that I purchased from HK.

the firmware group for the Organizer is: CXC 162093 R3A06
this is different from what I see others using i.e. CXC 162071.

Is it possible to change or update the organizer firmware to the generic World
