The Sony Ericsson k700i is a stylish, fully loaded mobile phone derived from the T630. It contains a high-resolution camera, Bluetooth and a 41 megabyte memory in a small package. It weighs 3.7 ounces and is a little bigger than a standard credit card, two features that make it convenient to carry around without compromising on the features. You can improve the current features of your old k700i or fix glitches like hanging---or failure to receive network signals---by flashing the phone. Flashing updates the firmware installed on your phone. (Firmware addresses a certain feature or fix.)

Follow the instructions and wait until the flash process has finished. If the flash and the phone don't work, take the phone off the DSS. Remove the battery, connect the phone back to the DSS and install the battery back in the phone. Perform another flash procedure.
