You said that Davini changes the CDA to generic UK CDA. If I have a German CDA can I use it instead? It's a brandingfree CDA with a EU5 firmware! |

Cheers @Sebby & @kingqueen for your help...
@Sebby;
Just curious but if I wanted the Europe5 languages (en/fr/de/it)
Would I just download the EU5 firmwares from Davinci and change the Language_Variant_Name to EUROPE_5?
Thanks for your help guys!

is that possible to change for free the CDA under davinci and then set the phone to receive a firmware different than his original firmware?
For exemple so as to update with the EU_3 FW (available for free on SEUS) on a EU_1 phone ( update unavailable)

Theoretically, changing the CDA but not actually flashing the firmware with DaVinci should be fine. After all, the SEUS should then flash the phone with the firmware that corresponds to that CDA. But changing the CDA will cost you, so you may as well flash at the same time and do it all for one credit.

I emailed davinci yesterday, to ask if I should call the variant EUROPE_2 or EU_2
Here is their reply:
"I think EU_2 or EUROPE_2 this is doesnt matter
only CDA number important
FOR EU2 use next number
EU_2 CDA102338/38 R6A Generic UK
here is CDA list which we have currently.
APAC_1 CDA102337/101 R4A Generic Philippines
CHINA CDA102338/7 R17A Generic CHINA
THAI CDA102337/102 R4A Generic Thailand
HONGKONG CDA102338/8 R4A Generic HongKong
Taiwan CDA102338/20 R5A Generic Taiwan
EMEA_1 CDA102338/36 R5A Generic Russia
EMEA_6 CDA102338/37 R5A Generic UAE
EU_2 CDA102338/38 R6A Generic UK
EU_3 CDA102338/48 R9A Generic NEtherlands
EU_4 CDA102337/12 R4A Generic 1 Nordic
EU_4 CDA102337/13 R4A Generic 2 Nordic
EU_5 CDA102338/58 R3A Generic Italy
EU_5 CDA102337/13 R4A Generic Switzerland
LAM_2 CDA102337/105 R1A"
So depending on which language pack you intend to use, you should use the generic CDA for that particular version of the handset for the list above.

FTP problems: currently for some reason the K750 flasher from DaVinci is unable to contact the DaVinci FTP server, even after selecting "update settings". I got round this: if you download the standard DaVinci client (not the K750 specific one) you can use it to download the firmware files, then switch to the K750 specific flasher to flash them.

Can I use the standard DaVinci client with my username/password to download the firmware files for K750i without loosing any credits??
Thanks! |

@alexl22 yes, you need to type in the username and password to download the files but won't lose any of your credits

@ kingqueen
I have the same CDA and I flashed LA2. What languages did you have on your phone originally, English and Chinese perhaps? |

I used the same language pack that you did, and used the following CDA Settings:
CDA Number: 102337/13
CDA Revision: R4A
Model: K750
Language Variant Name: EUROPE_5
@Sebby
Does the CDA Number field in DaVinci need to read: CDA102337/13 (with the CDA part)? I think when I did mine, I just put the 102337/13 part. My SW Info screen still reads correctly though.
Also, I left my model as the DaVinci default with K750 (no "i")... would any of this matter?
The reason I ask these questions is because I just want to make sure I flashed everything right.
-------
After I changed to EUROPE_5 (originally EMEA_6), I deleted the files from the software-data folder from my SEUS folders on my computer then tried to run the update again to see what files SEUS would download. Got to the "Hold 'c' key on the phone" part and then looked in the software-data folder, and the EMEA_6 firmware was the one that was downloaded. |
