my firmware is R1L002 but when i try to log in SEUS II to update the firmware, it says
Your device already has the latest software. We look forward to assisting you again soon. Thank you for using the Sony Ericsson Update Service!
so it should be my CDA that I can't update to R1AA008? any advice? should I use davinci to flash my CDA so that I can update? if so, which CDA should I flash to?
Thanks in advance.
APAC_1 CDA102338/36 R5A
Used davinci client and found that:
IMEI: 356554-00-861599
Phone CID 36, Color BROWN |

Your phone is BROWN - this means DEVELOPERS
BROWN cann't use SEUS so it must be changed to RED (Retail)
But there may be more problems...
Your IMEI number is not registered so it may have been changed!
Your only option is to update using a none SE method like, as mentioned - DaVinci.
You'll need to double check your method of update
- Changing BROWN to RED
- Updating Firmware to latest
- Changing CDA to your location
In your case CDA-string is not important as you'll never get SEUS with that IMEI number.
Don't worry about IMEI number ~ it's 14 digits so I made booboo

how to change from Brown to Red? so the only way i can update my firmware is via davinci?
i dun understand that you say my IMEI can't use SEUS but then you say Don't worry about IMEI number >.< ?
so if i change from brown to red can i use SEUS? or i still can't because of my IMEI number?
thanks a lot dude |

To check your IMEI:

###
Your phone is BROWN ~ this isn't a retail phone so check it's history.
SEUS won't update your phone.
You can update with DaVinci
I just say ~ check your steps so that later updates may be got from SEUS.
CDA changed with DaVinci probably won't help with SEUS!!!
Using DaVinci can update phones firmware and alter CDA (using DCU-60)
From BROWN to RED will need Service Cable (Cruiser/Fighter or like type)
Your: APAC_1 CDA102338/36 R5A
Try: CDA 102338/36 R6A (K750i Generic EMEA_1 Russia)
[K750 R1AA008 EMEA1:EN PL LV LT RU UK]
maindvt=K750_R1AA008_MAIN_EU_EMEA.DVT
fsdvt=K750_R1AA008_FS_EMEA1.DVT
good luck

Just as a note, my phone is R1L002 and without problems!!!
Your phone maybe locked to a network/operator and they have chosen to opt their customers out of the SEUS.
If you have problems with the phone try a master reset (backup first).
To keep phone well reset! or turn off and on!
This may sound like a bad solution but the phone problems maybe a result of poor software (JAR games etc... and PC to Phone Connections).
Make a note of the faults and if you see good reason for a firmware update - inform your SIM/Contract/Operator.
Make use of the phones warrenty before loosing it with a third party update service...
...DaVinci will update your phone
SEUS may NEVER work with your phone unless you demand the operator remove the restriction of use. It's your phone and if on PAYG, you have absolutely no ties with the SIM operator and should be released to do with your phone as you please.

My phone isn't locked. I can use it with other operators.
I've checked the lock menu and i have:
network unlocked 5
subnetwork unkocked 5
service provider unlocked 5
corporative unlocked 5
extended unlocked 5
I think it's mean there isn't any lock restriction.
I've tried hard reset too.
Any ideas? |

SEUS checks your IMEI number (this cann't be changed) and this is what might be blocking your updates with SEUS.
I don't know if your phone was locked or not - now it's unlocked
You could try a SIM from another operator whilst using SEUS to see if that might get you passed.
What's up with your phone anyways |

Just becuase the phone is unlocked doent mean that it can be updated. O2 phones are normally unlocked but a lot of the handsets can not be updates.
Checkout my photos at My Website"Duct tape is like the force. It has a light side, a dark side, and it holds the world together." |

If your phone is brown you can't update your phone using the dcu-60 cable, you'll need to get the cruiser/fighter cable to change the phone from red to brown then you can update the firmware using davinci.
