I updated my K750i this morning via SE online services, but now my phone tells me that it is an W800i.
What the heck is this?
I had to do a master reset to get the phone to find the memory card.
I can also now only use English as phone laguage.
It seems to work now, but this is very strange isn't?
The phone reports model number W800i but firmware is R1N035
Camera SW: 4.5
ITP SW: 125 932 R1D
Content version: PA11

That is no problem!
When the "new hardware sign shows just pick "search windows update" and you will get all the files you need and windows will install new drivers for the USB cable to work with W800i
It worked for me.

Same problem here!
The PC recognises it as a W800i and after i did a Master Reset my Phone Status says W800i, too.
I'm wondering in the next update if W800 fw will be available it might put a W800 fw in it?
You can just download the W800 driver and the PC will recognise it again - as a W800i: http://www.sonyericsson.com/s[....]1&pid=10245&fid=16364&esi=true
Has somebody solved the language-problem? Cause i still have only English!!!  (tried master reset and everything)

I wished my k750i gave me that error message too  ) Anyway, if you want to update ever, update under Australia, UK or Singapore SE websites - those are the three countries I found my k750i still operable after updating.

Mine too. And I have the w800i default theme. The orange one. You lose the theme after the master reset so save it. I also only have english as phone language and my phone is now recognized as a w800i. But I do not have the w800i walkman features! It's sitll the media player. |

Here's a new one..
I updated the k750i with the latest firmware. Everything OK so far. I checked the software in the phone and it has indeed been updated.
Plugging the phone to the laptop and suddenly it found a new hardware and installs w800i drivers to the computer. hmm... strange...
Found out that I have wrong language and read that it's possible to get the right language by doing a sencond updtae on SE site, now when I tried to update the SEUS says that there's no USB cable connected.
Went to my other computer plugged in the USB cable and it installed w800i drivers on that computer aswell but the USB cable is 100% functional and I can access the phone. However on that computer I am not able to update the firmware and never has.
Anyway unplugging the k750i again, turning it off, turning it on again and when entering the pin-code it says it't the wrong one. Tries again, same thing, and again PIN blocket!!!! so now I can't access the phone! However, if I plug it into the computer I get complete access with USB and even with Bluetooth.
I must say that I am not impressed at all on how SE "implemented" this "update-function/option". |

To be perfectly honest i'm very frustrated about all of this sh*t, dude!
I wrote to SE and they just don't know anything.. They wanted to send me to their Service Centre which is more than 300 kms far from me.
I don't give a damn about my phone saying W800 i just want to get my languages back.
