From the Quick Manual on their site:

Flashing procedure not take a credits, but after flashing process - need to make finalization!

Finalization takes about 3...4 minutes (speed 115200) If you will forget to make finalization, your phone will show message on display: 'Error Configuration....."


Prehaps that's not clear enough for you, but what you're missing is that this program isn't aimed at one-off end users such as yourself, it's aimed at professional unlockers who know what they're doing.
Now that most professional shops have a standalone tool (Cruiser or SeTool) I guess that doesn't hold quite as true anymore, but the programs roots are the reason it doesn't have big, friendly "Your phone will not work if you don't tick this and pay money" warning.

Many different people have spent many months discovering how to bypass all the new protection SonyEricsson have put into their new model phones. The mindset of many users here that "it should all be free" amazes me. Why should it be free?

Hey, I fully understand why this isn't free, and I gladly paid €20 to flash my 2 phones.
The only thing that's a little "unprofessionally" done is that the program flashes the phone when you haven't entered a login/password. There should at least be a small warning when you click the "Flash"-button and you haven't entered anything, because obviously people like me who asume that things like that shouldn't be a problem, exists.

One more thing: From now on, when a new firmware from SE comes out, can I flash my phones without any problem from the SE site, or do I have to use software like DaVinci?

I agree with you on that.. I have thought the same thing. Many people will try to flash even when it says it costs money and will end up having an messed up phone.

Ok, both valid comments.

I guess I was being a little too elitist.

I remember when I went to flash my first T610
I read the manual forwards, backwards and sideways before the cable went anywhere near the phone

Glad it's all sorted anyway, I'll pull my head in now.
