How many credits do you need to change the CDA?
edit: read it's one.
So do I just download the software. buy a credit and then what?

hi guys,
first of all, sorry for the late reply as i'm in the gmt+8 timezone.
@adara,
just tick the cda change and at the cda box i typed in the world generic 1 cda as found here: http://uiq3.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/CDA/P990i
after paying them, i think you'll need to email them your transaction number for the login details. for the email address, you'll need to find them at the gsmhosting forum. here's the link:

@kradcliffe,
no need to finalise.
@dominique,
thank you for the info. will format & master reset my phone later when i get home and will flash through seus again. will update you guys later.
@guy h,
it only cost me 1 credit = 6 euros
but just for the record, eventhough i have 2 cda lines, so far i have no problems with the newly flashed firmware. but i think it's still too soon to tell anyways.

what i did was, buy the credit. then an email will be sent to you with the transaction number. then you'll need to email the transaction number to gsminfo. you can find the email address at the link in my previous post.
after that gsminfo will email you the logon details. cheers. |

Hi guys. Can anyone help. I can't seem to get this to work.
I load up the program and click on the read info button. I have an access violation and it tells me to hold the c button and plug in the usb cable.
I hold down c and plug in the USB cable but nothing happens!
I haven't installed any of the drivers or anything, I was expecting a dialog to appear asking me to point towards them.
I'm on Win 2000 and I can connect to the SE pc suite and SEUS - and both work great.
Thanks, Boomah. |

I believe there is no need to uninstall the Sony Ericsson PC Suite. What I did was: plug in the switched off phone while holding "C". Go to your device manager at the system properties and find 2 SE entries at the com port section. Do an "update driver" for both entries and manually select the harmony drivers.
After this the Client found my device without any problems. |

I didn't mail anything to them and received my login information automatically. (But it was catched by my spam filter) |

Thank you very much spectre 77 for your kind reply. I assume you chose CDA 162007/1 and that's it, right? No delete startup logo and no finalization, just flash phone afterwards?
Regards,
Adara

If you select the finalise option you should only get one CDA string which is a much better way to do it as it limits the errors that can occur through having multiple CDA strings.

@seunlock-uk,
Tried to flash my cda again last night. This time with the change cda and finalise box checked. A popup window came up saying that you can only finalise with the flash firmware. So, tried again, this time only the change cda box checked. Went through successfully. Like before, i have 2 cda lines after the flash. Then i did a master reset and ran seus. Seus recognised my phone as world 1 generic. And the weirdest thing happened. Checked the info on the phone again. This time i only have 1 cda line as it should be. And my phone version is now r9. And yes, it did cost me another credit. Luckily i had bought an extra credit before. I was happy with the 2 cda lines before. But now, i am very very very happy! The reason i reflashed the cda again is because you said that there might be complications later on. Am so glad i listened to you. So thank you seunlock-uk! Much appreciated. By the way, i will post my screenshot when i go back home. Am writing this post using the newly flashed p990 via 3g. Later guys.
@adara,
Sorry. Almost forgot about your question there for a minute. Lol. Am just so exited at the moment. You only need to check the change cda box. And fill in the desired cda. As for me, i chose cda/1. But followed dominiques' instructions and it worked like a charm. What i did was:
1) format the phone
2) master reset
3) took out simcard
4) replace battery
5) check change cda box with the cda162007/1 typed in it
6) click flash phone
7) press c button
 connect usb
9) cda change done (at this time, you will see 2 cda lines)
10) master reset phone again
11) flash with seus (seus detects phone as world 1 generic)
12) done!
But i did another master reset and ran seus again just to be sure. (i'm just being paranoid). So there you go. Happy flashing (you know what i mean). Lol. Hope everything goes well for you.
this is my screenshot with 1 cda line:
