[Mrnetwork]

and wht is the benefit when i upgrad the erom of my phone?

[kambing]

I never update erom. i just update firmware only.what advantage update erom?

[blkdragon]

you only need to re-flash the erom if youve stuff the original erom,

eg flashed a CID49 phone with CID51 file.

after this wrong flashing, your phone will be temporarily stuffed.

re-flash the erom as mentioned above, and you'll be okay.

it offers no advantages, its is only intended as a fix for a stuffed erom.

Is it the EROM that makes a phone RED or BROWN? Does the above work for a K750i? If so, do you have the EROM for K750i?

[Taurus3]

red is a branded one and brown is developer one. red is retailers version, uneed to convert from brown to red to make use of full features of phone.

I have tried to update the firmware using FOTA recently .But it fails everytime saying 'Software update failed.Status will be reported to the server'. Will updating the EROM resolve this? , or do I have to do something else?
