Well it must be first listed in the device manager to have any chance of working. I'm not sure if you need to get any drivers so that you can install it (although I would assume so) as I haven't used one yet - should be coming today!  |

Firmware upgrade is free... If you don't need to change your language you don't need to choose language and customization file. It is free for now. Maybe later they will charge it.
SE Online update... The CDA # of customization file is different than in first version of R2AA (this version is R2AA_RE29), so that is why you are not allowed to use SE Update Service... I don't know why. I contacted TS and will let you know when I got the answer...

The T28 is a standard Serial cable, so you will communicate to it through one of your built in COM ports - i.e. COM1 or COM2. It won't require a driver as pretty much all operating systems ever released have built in support for standard RS232 serial ports! |

Im not convinced by that because when i was flashing from R2L to R2AA003 previously, it crashed after flashing the firmware file and didnt do the language+customisation. That left me with newer firmware, but some items didnt have labels on them like auto-save to sim etc. I had to then flash again with language+customisation file and it is now fine.

Likei said im now on R2AA003 and i can use the online update fine, it doesnt say im not allowed, it starts downloading firmware, but it gets R2M which would effectivly be a downgrade.
You must be using a customisation from another region and thats why its not working.
Under software info on mine it says:
customisation
CDA102286/16 R2A
cxc 125822 R2AA003
EU_1

Original customisation with O2 branding and R2A041:
CDA 102298/17 R25A
cxc 125822 R1A
EU_2
(IMEI ended with.... -01)
Customisation after flash to R2L001 (still O2 branded):
CDA 102298/17 R25A
cxc 125822 R2L001
EU_2
(IMEI ended with.... -05)
After flashing yesterday with total server 1.30 using R2AA003_ZONE 1 firmware and EU_1 language my customisation now looks like this:
CDA 102286/0 R2A
cxc 125822 1E0W
EU_1
(IMEI now ends with.... -09)
Actual IMEI hasn't changed (I know that's illegal in UK), just the two numbers tagged on the end afterwards.
Cheers,
Col.

Hi,
When did you do firmware update? Actually with which version of TS?
First version of R2AA on TS was the one that had CDA number CDA102286/16.
Second version of R2AA_RE29 is the one that is avaliable now and has CDA number CDA 102286/0
So that is the problem7difference in why you can use SE US and the rest of us that has the other CDA number can not.

I originally debranded from vodafone to R2L using version 1.21 of multiserver.
process i did was flash k700 debrand file, dont turn on, then flash all three R2L files.(Was able to use online update then as well)
Then yesterday i used version 1.30 and downloaded R2AA yesterday, then flashed all three again and that is what i have now and lets me use online update should i need to. |

@ iamcrunchie
that's what I am telling you... you used 1.21. The decustomization file you used did put different CDA (CDA102286/16) number in your phone that gives you possibility to use SE US... In 1.30 the way to do customization changed, so when you use Unbrand/Repair tab you will get different CDA (CDA102286/0) in your phone which doesn't allow you to use SE US.
You just upgraded your phone with 1.30 right? You didn't loose any user data and your CDA number stayed the same... so you can still use SE US and we that used 1.30 for unbranding can not because of CDA...
Hope this clears this matter, take care

When you flashed with all three files yesterday, did you lose all your contacts, themes, games etc?
When I flashed with just the K7S and K7D default language files, as per the latest instructions, O2 was gone along with all contacts, games, themes etc. as expected.
I wonder if I now went back and flashed the R2AA003 K7S, K7L and K7C files using the normal tab on total server I would then be able to use SE Online Update in future.

no you wouldn't... only the debranding changes CDA number... so only to debrand it with different file will make it possible to use SE US
just upgrading will leave it the same!!! don't waste your credit...
Upgrading alone doesn't delete any user data...

Thanx for that m8, guess I'll just have to wait to use SE update for now.
PS you need to have at least 1 valid credit just to download a new firmware file, tried it this avo with valid username and password but with no credits left "you need credit for this operation".
Looks like no freebies then;-)

all of us that used 1.30 (I think from 1.28 above) will have to wait for something... But still the firmware upgrade (as of 1.28) is free, but you need to have 1 credit to be able to download and use firwmare update... but it wont eat your credit if you do only *.K7S file with for example R3A when it comes out... Strange...
