Upgrading K750i firmware to the latest version: R1CA021

I just upgraded my Sony Ericsson K750i to the latest firmware version: R1CA021. The actual upgrade took less than 20 minutes but I spent more than half an hour downloading the Sony Ericsson Update Service because I was also downloading a ton of podcast episodes that time.

To know the firmware version of your Sony Ericsson phone, do this (for < push the joystick to the left, for > push the joystick to the right): >*<<*<* After doing that, click on Service Info and then click on Software Info.

If you’re still using R1N035 or R1NA005 or R1AA008, then by all means download the latest firmware-it fixes the irritating USB transfer bug. If you already have R1BC002, I’d hold off for a week or two.

The only reason I upgraded to R1CA021 is because I want to blog about it as well as write about it in my weekly column on cell phones in Sun.Star Cebu. Without this blog and the column, I wouldn�t have bothered updating to R1CA021 since R1BC002 served me well. I also did the update because I’m writing a blog article on how to update your Sony Ericsson firmware (check back later when I finish it).

The Esato overview on the firmware’s improvements states that R1CA021 updates the camera software version. I don�t know if this means photos will be better but I took before and after upgrade photographs below so that I can compare the quality of the pictures taken.

Frankly, I can’t see that much difference. (Click on photos to view larger images. To close the larger image, click on the close button at the lower part of the pop-up screen). But then again, I’ve just been using the phone with the new firmware for a day. The after upgrade photos were taken with less daylight streaming into the office as I finished upgrading in the evening. I’ve read forum posts that claimed that R1CA021 comes with lower video quality.

The only problems I encountered with upgrading were:

1.) Busy Server. I encountered a busy server notice twice as the maximum number of connections to the Sony Ericsson update server was reached. This means a lot of people were upgrading their phones.

2.) Missing memory stick drive letter. After I upgraded, I connected my phone back to my PC and could no longer find the Sony Ericsson removable drive in my listing of drives connected to my computer. This missing USB drive problem is easily solved and I’ve previously written about how to fix it.

Below are the details of the new firmware as listed in Esato, an excellent website if you’re a Sony Ericsson fan boy like me:

– Increased Camera software version. Photo and Video quality, however, do not appear to have changed noticably.
– FIX: The Animated menu items bug for Themes is mostly resolved. After applying a theme with an animated menu, we still need to go to the Settings or Calls menu to start the animation, but it will not disappear again after this.

    Did you restart your computer after you installed the Sony Ericsson Update service and update drivers?

    krishna,
    if you cant switch off the phone, then remove the battery.
    Make sure the computer detects your phone before you run the update. In windows XP if you plug-in the cable to a different USB port other than the port you had installed into, it will scan for driver again.
    If pressing and holding the “C” while connecting the cable, a pop-up message appears in the rightmost bottom taskbar detecting the hardware. In this case, you havent installed the driver and you need to install the driver.
    Restart the computer and run again the update.

    naah, its still going on. the window says updating software with do not touch the phone flashing.

    i think there is some activity happening ‘coz the ma3platform.exe process (looks like the process under which update service is running) is active and is constantly showing me increasing I/O writes.

    I am keeping my fingers crossed though, don’t want to have a phone that does not function and head to the service center instead of work tomorrow morning :p

    bro. its good to bump into your website… i have been having the same trouble of missing files in my file manager…

    when did you purchase your phone? i just got mine last week. anyway, will its warranty be void if i upgrade the phone’s firmware my self or should i have it upgraded where I purchased it?

    do you think they’lll know if i upgraded its firmware?

    I don’t think the warranty will be void if you use the official Sony Ericsson Update Service that comes with your phone or in the Sony Ericsson website. If you just bought it, you can have it upgraded for free from the Sony Ericsson service center. Just tell them you’re having problems with USB transfer with the current firmware.

    Thanks for the help Max, I will be going to Ayala Cebu sometime this week(theres a service center there right?), or, I could still use the USB and upgrade it myself…I don’t know…

    By the way…more question…
    1. How old is your phone?
    2. I have the oldest version of the software(R1N035), could this mean its old stock, maybe recon? whats your insight on this?

    This is the point i’ve been raising ever since but nobody discussed it even the SE customer service.
    How do you know the manufacturing date of the phone? Definitely much earlier than your purchase date. 🙂 Everytime you update your fone, your IMEI has this two digit suffix. The higher it is, the older your fone is.

    KG,
    Sorry for that mix-up. I got my phone early this year and it came with the R1N035 service. If I were you, the easiest way to upgrade would be to let the Sony Ericsson service center in Ayala upgrade it. It’s covered by a warranty, tell them you can’t use it as a music player because files aren’t transferred properly to the memory stick because of the firmware bug.

    If not for this blog and my weekly column on cellphones, I would have let the service center do the upgrade. I needed to do it myself so that I could write about the experience.

    Jawad,
    I’m still researching but have you tried running the upgrade again. Delete all the Sony Ericsson Update Service files, uninstall the program and delete its folder. Better yet, try using another PC to run the update service again.

    I haven’t been experimenting with the phone lately, it’s the World Cup and I lack sleep 🙁

    same prob as strcmp, but i found a solution in another forum: when your update service stuck with the message “Please do not touch the phone” and progressbar @ 100% SHUT DOWN your computer (!) and after that unplug your phone. it’s working, my k750i starts normally and my firmware is now R1CA021. good luck, hopefully it’ll work for you too.

    Well dudes, I just upgraded with to the latest firmware with their poorly coded peice of crap updater that took about 600 attempts to download the firmware from the server.

    I thought SE were the good guys?!

    All works though. But now I have this annoying bug where my phone switches off after the backlight goes off. If I play with it though (keep it from the backlight going off) it stays alive perfectly.

    Freaking annoying.
    Any Ideas?

    C. Aquino,
    Sorry for the late feedback. World Cup games are keeping me from getting enough sleep.

    Have you been able to solve it? When you encountered the problems, was the Sony Ericsson Update service already installed? As far as I know, there isn’t a specific folder that you have to extract the USB drivers to because you can just point to the folder when the new hardware wizard launches. I’m not sure, though, why the wizard won’t launch in your setup.

    Hi,

    I had bought a K750i 3 months back.Previously i was using the software version R1BC002 which came with the phone. It was super and was working well. Today i thought of upgrading to the latest version by SE R1CA021 – (UpdateService_Inst_2.6.4.9). Well the installation went well but after updating my phone i found that a bit of sound has been increased, which is very good for the phone speakers, but for the head phones it hurts. I think that the phones can’t withstand that much bass and might damage my head phones.

    Previously in R1BC002 even when i raise the volume to 90% it was very clear and the bass was very good. Now after i have installed the new update i see if i increase the volume i hear lotta itching sound in the head phones. I think SE have made some (a slight increased bass) changes in that section. It is really bad. My phone is just 3 months old

    Also i noticed that when i start my camera, i saw that the picture did not cover the full screen…(notice that there will be thin space above and below the screen which will not been covered.) Previously i was getting full fledge picture on the screen, not now after updating.

    This is really bad. These SE people are experimenting their softwares on us friends…..So friends, i am planning to rollback to the previous version that i had (R1BC002) which is superb. Please help me how and where can i get that software and how to uninstall this version (R1CA021).

    Please….please help me…..
    Any suggestion and advise will be appreciated.

    Thanks in advance

    Hi there Max. Your site here is really great. I just wanted to know if you’ve encountered this problem of mine about the photolight or flash of my SE K750i. When I turn it on, it just takes about 2 seconds to lit up. And then it goes off. And it does not light again until such time. And it goes that way until this time. What seems to be the problem. i hope that you could help me with this. I can’t take pictures on dim places w/o the flash. What can you suggest on this problem to be fixed. I got my phone about a month already. Thanks and God Bless!!!!

    Was this phone by any chance unlocked by technicians? Why not try asking the shop where you bought the phone to upgrade the firmware for you because the R1NA005 firmware still has the USB transfer bug. Tell them about this and try asking that they update it for free.

    To get your phone’s firmware upgraded, you either need to go through the Sony Ericsson update system or a third-party updater such as DaVinci.

    Flashdancer,
    Try restarting your pc and running the update service again. Also, please check your USB flash driver.

    Thanks for the warning. I have been thinking of upgrading to the latest version not because I need it but to record the steps for a tutorial.

    What did they do to the music player? When you say very bad, do you mean the quality of the audio or the way the music player functions?

    Rolling back to an older firmware seems to be a lot of work, based on what I’ve read so far, because you can’t specify which firmware to use for your phone.

    Before, my concern was browsing the internet using k750 as gprs modem. The smart promo is a great help though disappointing most of the time because of slow bandwidth.
    But now i enjoy surfing the internet with k750 at broadband speed using the DSL connection of PC. Top softwares i use are opera mini (web browser), Google Map ( satellite map viewer), KJV (entire bible), customized dictionary. The connection is via bluetooth or cable.

    Bongnate,
    Thanks for the tip. I only use mobile web for checking my GMail. I don’t plan to surf websites using it because of the slow connection and the limited functionality.

    Hi Max,

    Just wanted to know if we have any spreadsheet software available for K750i.

    ken,

    there is this java midlet MC2Lite.jar that looks like a spreadsheet. Search for it on getjar.com
    I guess it would only be useful if you create a simple spreadsheet on PC for read-only access to your mobile phone. The connection may be over WAP.

    Ken, Bongnate,
    Correct me if I’m wrong, but couldn’t you view attached Excel files on GMail for mobile application? But this is, of course, only read-only.

    Hi Max,

    I have not tried downloading any excel attachments from my fone as i have been busy playing around with it. I successfully changed it to a W800i but i noticed the volume of everything from earpiece to external speaker went down and now the camera wount take pictures. I have CDA: 102430, Europe 2
    Firmware: R1BC002. Any comments on this?

    I am thinking of flashing it back to k750i with R1CA021 Firmware but topsony have not sent me the confirmation mail for my account for two days now so am stuck. When i use SEUS it says I have the latest software so i guess i have to wait for topsony or do you know where i can get this files on the net, a trusted free site?

    rico,
    As far as I know, the official Sony Ericsson update service will upgrade your phone to the latest firmware. In the k750i’s case, it will be the the much maligned R1DB001. Maybe you can try unofficial and third party software to update your phone to R1CA021 but it could be risky.

    Hi,
    MY PHONE IS AUTOMATICALLY SENDING MESSAGES!
    My name is Brett from Australia
    My new k750i has firmware R1CA021 and it recently acting strange. It was been automatically sending txt to an unknown number, my phone company tells me this mystery number is not active, adding nothing to my bill. But every hour of so i’ll get a message on my screen ‘ Message sent’, but no copy of what was sen in my sent items or outbox. My phone company tell me it could be a software issue so have refered to to Sony Ericcson. SE have told me to install the lastest firmware as a possible fix. Just wondering if this is wise of if anyone else has experienced this problem or is this a virus?

    I tried updating the firmware (through the website and all) but it says, “Update not available” then “The software in your phone is up-to-date” I know the last time I checked its the old firmware

    Guys,
    There are no more updates for the Sony Ericsson K750i. Sony Ericsson wants you to buy their new phones 🙂 that’s why they’re stopping support for older phones.
