Hi - can any one help! I recently bought a W595 phone on Orange UK. I have tried to upgrade the phone's firmware using SEUS and it continuously fails at 65%. The phone is now in an unusable state. The Update Service is trying to download and install ORANGE-SIGN 1213-2518. Any ideas how I can get this working again? Is there a log from SEUS anywhere that might give me an indication of the problem? I've just made the leap from having Nokia phones for 8 years and I was hoping to be impressed... so far I'm regretting my decision. I tried to upgrade the firmware on the W595 because I heard it'll support 16GB M2 cards. Any help or advice would be appreciated.
do u have a full battry b4 u started if u have no joy with the a2 uploader then pm me ur msn and i will help u fix it
I did have a full battery, it's probably not now tho! I've tried to reflash it about 10 times. I'm not sure if I can charge it, I left it plugged in for about 2 hours but as the phone has no firmware and doesn't boot I'm not sure if it charged! It lit up tho.
I'll have another go with the A2 Uploader. Last night AVG was telling me it contained a Trojan and I couldn't run it.
I'm wondering if the phone doesn't have enough free memory (it should have tho, it's new). For reference, I've removed the SIM Card and M2 memory card too.
flashing a phone wont touch the memory on it it has its on loader chips for that its most probly a dead batry do u have any other se phones abecuse that phone in its state wont charge ((try this plug ur charger in then put ur battry in ((
I can't see the battery being a problem. It's a new phone with a new battery that was fully chargered earlier that day. It was probably around 95% full when it first failed.
I'm not sure what's happened to it but all it will do is light up when switched on.
I don't have any other SE phones. Only Nokia :(
what lights up the red led on the keypad or the lcd
Yeah the screen and keypad backlights illuminate - that's all. Nothing else happens.
SEUS still detects it and will try and upgrade it, so USB connectivity is still fine.
how long are u leaveing it on for and what did u flash to it and were did u get the files from ?
Only had it on whilst trying to flash. It's probably been flashed for about an hour (multiple retries). The files came from SEUS - it automatically found the latest W595 Orange UK firmware. It started to flash and all looked good until it died at 65%. It dies everytime at 65%!
u didnt have the phone turn on while u was trying to flash it ?
can't remember - I followed the instructions but I think it says it has to be off. Holding C and connecting the cable makes it go into flash mode.
I may have had it connected when I first went to flash it, hope that hasn't screwed it up.
retry with seus again but make sure ur phone doesnt come on
Why don't you just flash with:
W595_R3DA026_MAIN_GENERIC_LT_RED52
W595_R3DA026_FS_NORDIC_RED52

A2-DB3150 Flashing - Top Sony Forums ?
Later you can use SEUS and you'll get the latest firmware(R3A037).
SEUS isn't going to work. I've tried it on 2 different PCs. The W595 looks to have some good features but Sony could learn a lesson or 2 from Nokia, as their updating software is much better!
I'll try the A2 Uploader and the tutorial. AVG AntiVirus thinks its a trojan and keeps trying to lock it down. I'll see if I can get it working. Thanks.
Well it appears I have got the phone working now. Used A2 uploader with the main and fs file at first. Didn't realise the custom files were mandatory. Anyway, the phone worked but was moaning about not being configured. I tried SEUS again which trashed it. So I reflashed and put on the custom files this time. This works. I think I'm back to the firmware version I had originally now! My 16GB M2 card seems to be working, which is nice. I can't be bothered with SEUS now, I don't trust it. I'll stick with the installed firmware version, unless you know how to get hold of a more up-to-date one. I installed:
W595_R3DA029_FS_ORANGE-SIGN_RED52.rar
W595_R3DA029_MAIN_ORANGE_LD_RED52.rar
W595_1213-2518_R9A_Orange_United_Kingdom.zip
Sony's version numbers are confusing. Nokia's version numbers and phone model codes are much easier to follow!
I think is very easy. K850 custom files are compatible with W595(W760), so go to download section and pick a custom file according to your zone (for example K850i_1201-0077_R12A_GENERIC_WESTERN-EUROPE).Quote:

Upload it to TPA/preset/custom using A2Uploader, restart your phone, then try again SEUS. It should update your phone to R3EA037_Generic Western Europe firmware.
Thanks for the info. I'm not sure it's worth the hassle though... Is there a change log / bug fix list for the firmware anywhere? I'd like know if is worth the hassle...
Hi.. i need help.. my w595 is not working just like thebean's phone.. what should i do..?
