Hi there,
I'm at a loss too when it came to updating my P900's software!
After having followed instructions on using the "recovery mode" option, it actually moved beyond the "error in communications" problem. However, it brought the phone back to the phone's previous CDA and now cannot update to newest R4B03.
In summary...
Before recovery:
CDA was 162003/8 - upgradable to R4B03 (latest version)
After recovery:
CDA reverted to 162004/14 - upgradable to R1A05 only (same version that came with the phone when I first got it!)
Any suggestions? I find no sense as to why there is so much trouble with doing these online updates!
Any help would be appreciated!

i tried many times to upgrade it manully already but it only states error
"CDA162003/11R1B is not supported or you have entered an incorrect number.
If the number is correct it means that your operator does not approve usage of the service for this device. If the number is incorrect, click Back and enter the right number. "
i really have no clue what happen, and i did have the CDA # that im sure i haven't entered it wrong. however i did choose upgrade automatically.. and my organiser is CXC162025 RaA08
all the expert here please help |

I've just update my software this afternoon. The step i followed are:
1) Download the latest PCsuite 2.3.1 from SE website
2) Do backup for the phone
3) Download the update version from SE website
4) Install it and will launch a new Java page
5) Disable every anti virus and Firewall.
6) Install finished
7) Do restore from the PCSuite
 Uninstall the Ezitap (Only for non Ezitap User)
9) Reinstall Ezitap (Only for non Ezitap User)
10) Everything Done!!!!!

jack078, you're entering the CDA incorrectly, it should just be CDA162003/11
when you enter that it says the latest version is R3A07

so...let me get this right.
My phone is orange branded, but i had it unlocked to use my o2 sim cards. Does that mean the updater will lock my phone back to orange again, or will it simply not work?
i used to have a good sig, but i'm all pc noooooooooooow!!! |

Has anyone noticed a common theme to these forum topics?
Basically ALL SE software is crap.

Unlocking and unbranding are different. Locking is to do with the phone being restricted to using a SIM for a particular network. Branding is to do with the CDA number. Unbranded phones have had the CDA number changed in the hope that the SE updater would allow a firmware upgrade but SE now seem to be using the IMEI number to identify network and SIM free phones. Trying to update the firmware on your Orange phone will not re-lock it to Orange. But I suspect you'll not be able to update the firmware as Orange have not approved the latest (or any?) firmware upgrades. I do have an Orange unlocked and unbranded phone and have not been able to use the latest firmware but on previous attempts, when the firmware was upgraded, the unlock was not affected.

I tried to install the software initially from winxp with SP1 but it didn't work. Therefore, i tried to make it using mS2000 with SP3 and finally was able to upgrade it to the latest version. followed all the instruction and the process completed flowlessly.
Cheers |
