V800 vs V802Se
Hi guys. I have a coulple of quick questions. I noticed that there are 2 phone models out there the v800 and v802se. Are they the same hardware wise? Its just a difference in the software?
Also which phone is better to have. (the v800 or the v802). Is it possible to flash both with z800i software (r01R00Y). I know u can flash the v800 to z800 but i did not see anywhere if you can flash the 802se to be a z800.
So my question is which phone should I get the v800 or the v802se?
Thx a lot
Vio

since all V800 & V802 SE (Japanese version of V800) are branded with vodafone...the only way to debrand it is by upgrading it to Z800i
if u say u didn't see anyone has debrand / upgrade a V800 to Z800 ...see here and compare the icons with the picture here..

Hi! I tried to update my V800i to a Z800i using TMS and tried ALL of the vailable firmware versions. Every time, just after the flash loader has been copied, but before copying the firmware to the phone, TMS bombs out and gives me the error: Invalid COLOR in selected flash files.
Anyone have an idea what it is on about ?
Thanks!

@erike
You have the same problem as me. Your V800 is obviously a CID36 phone, and at the moment nobody offers a solution to upgrade firmware to Z800, even though the new Z800's are CID36
Does your screen-shot from TMS look anything like the one below?

I think it's partly correct for what u are saying about CID36 V800
Actually, there are two different CID36 V800 .. REAL and FAKE CID36
first is what u are saying the REAL CID36 which I agree no one has solution at the moment, including TMS, Davinci, Crusier or SEtools..
However, so far, I only received two CID36 from customers and they are all FAKE CID36.. it cannot be unlock/flash at the beginning (similar to real CID36)..but after I used the recovery function, one CID29 flash block was recovered...and after that, I am able to flash all Z800 files ..
it means the phone was originally CID29 and was flashed to CID36 by SE for some reasons.. but it's still flashable!! what I want to say is NOT all CID36 V800 is unflashable / Not being able to unlock. at least I can tell u I have done two of them before.
since TMS/Davinci doesn't have the recovery function, I think it's no way to tell if it's CID29 or 36..
anyway, good luck with the server software

@ kingmobilephone
Thanks alot for clearing that up.
Is there any way to flash a REAL CID36 V800 to a FAKE CID36 and then flash with Z800 firmware, or maybe a way to flash a CID36 to a CID29?
Unfortunately I need a server solution as I am in South Africa, and I am not prepared to pay the price for SEtool stand-alone for 1 phone.
Thanx for info.

if it's a real CID 36 V800 ..sorry that no one can do it at the moment..
and today, I have received one REAL CID 36 and one fake CID36
the real one is the customer bought it 2 weeks ago .. (unlock, flash or recovery are ALL rejected)
the fake one is the customer who upgraded the firmware via SE web site..that why when i do the recovery, a CID29 flash block was recovered..
@codemaster
I sure all SE programmers are working on that including davinci or TMS....soon the 100% solution will come and let see who will be the first ?

First will be Test Point, Cruiser will release it, then all others will copy, of course Davinci, TMS wont release this as most liely customers wont even know what TP is.
Then Cruiser will release a regular cable version then all other teams will sniff the patched loaders and everyone will be happy
