NEW M600i Firmware available from update service

[dellduo]

good work....................... Hopefully it will not crash as often as it did before.

FIXED... SIM was tooo old for the new firmware

Redice

I'm confused.

Can someone explain how this can be?
Doesn't the firmware update process require you to remove the SIM
before initiating the update? If that's the case how can an Old SIM be the
cause of the update failing. Is it SIM info buffered on the phone somehow?

Thx

Steve

lol shouldn't affect it at all. You remove the sim during the update. How can it interfere. That's crazy

I got an M600i from HK in October 2006 and it works here on Canada's Rogers network using the SIM from my T637.

Problem was the SEUS firmware upgrade always returned "No update required" no even though I know this wasn't the case.

The phone was crippled at:
Phone CXC 162037 R4A002
BT CXC 162093 R3A01
Org CXC 162093 R3A06
CDA CDA 162016/87 R2A06

Until last week when I came across http://www.kulankendi.com/index2.php

which allowed me to change from the HK World phone to a Generic World 2 CDA which then allowed me reflash the phone using SEUS.

Now I'm sitting pretty at:
Phone CXC 162037 R9EC001
BT CXC 162058 R3A01
Org CXC 162071 R5B02
CDA CDA 162011/1 R5B02

IF YOU EVER NEED TO DE / RE-BRAND YOUR M600. look no further.

A very very significant difference to the performance and functionality of
the phone. it addresses almost my gripes with the phone. The phone is much better now.

I have CXC 162037 R9A002 and thought I should update my phone to the latest FW. I downloaded Update_Service_Setup-2.6.11.7.exe from SE and installed it. However when I run it it says: Failed checking application versions, please reinstall the application and make sure you have the latest version

So I checked the version number of my PC Suite and it was an old version. I installed the 1.3.11 version. It still didn't work after that. I uninstalled the update program and installed it again, but it still doesn't work. Also when I press the Sony Ericsson Update Service from within PC Suite I get the following message: The application has not been installed yet.

Anyone knows what's going on?

If no one else has a better more technical answer you may want to try de/reinstall the whole S/E suite. (back up your data 1st) I assume this update has never worked before for you on this machine.

When you run SEUS ensure you have a connection to the net.

Ha ha...

Really it was easier than it looks. The longest part was waiting for a response from the KK folks to give "keys" for the credits needed to run
the "debranding" sequence.

Be patient they will respond within the service level they state on their website.

Not sure what CDA162011/6 is but it looks old.
SEUS did not work with my HK branded M600i running CDA162016/87
until I re-branded it as CDA162011/1

So do it. It works. and it's a cheap fix.

Are you saying that Cingular can reflash your phone for free and put the generic world software on it?

It appears that there is yet another update for the M600i

Bootstrap now has a progress bar, and video seeking seems considerablly faster. I wonder if it can play mp4 videos greater than 265mb limit.

There is a function for transition, by default its off..What is actually that??

[meow_mix]

Transition? Where's that from?
