So i have alredy payed them for the *f**k** finalization to finalize my k750i for the latest firmware.. ( wtf that was free using SEUS? Too late for me )

Then i bought my crusier cable to unlock it and reflash to w800i and i cant use my old account. Is there any other way to finalize without paying them for that ?

Flash -> Free
Finalization -> 1 Credit
Unlock -> 1 Credit

PS.-Flash won't work until you make a finalization.
PS2.-If you don't know what you are doing, please read the manual first.
PS3.-Completely your fault.

@ShutDown^swe

Using DaVinci costs 1 credit for flashing and 1 credit for unlocking. It's well known from the many posts here at Esato and it can also be read at the DaVinci Teams site.

I'm surprised how little people read before doing these flashing/unlocking things... the phones are expensive and if something goes wrong you will have a dead phone without warranty - isn't that scenario enough as an argument why you should read before using the service?

1 stupid question: (I think I have the right to post one every couple of months).

I will purchase a K750 today, I read on the SE site there are drivers to perform updates of the phone SW.
Will I be encountering major problems upgrading the phone there?

I will own a k750i with minor customization (just the operator logo instead of the SE bookmarks). Will this be a problem? Is the phone considered as "branded" by the servers even with this minor customization?

Thank you for the answers

Isn't it just easier to say that flashing the phone costs 1 credit? Telling people that flashing is free but finalization costs 1 credit is confusing in my opinion... there's no point in flashing without finalization, so flashing costs 1 credit because it needs finalization.

No. I don't think so.
It tells people that they can flash and re-flash and re-re-flash if they want (or if something goes wrong).
If everything goes ok, then finalize it. Much safer than doing it automatically.

Well, then you must have missed all the posts where people are nagging about the cost since flashing is supposed to be "free"...

ATM. Yes you will encounter problems. Your K750i will turn into a K750 with identity crisis (W800i without the W800-features but with the W800-theme)

I recommend to wait a few MONTHS untill SE sort their shit out.

What you MUST do is note somewhare your software info (CDA-coedes etc...) so that IF you need to flash with eg. Davainci-team you can use the original CDA-nos and data-files to become SEUS-upgradable again after using Davinci.

Yes it is branded. You should really see what the CDA-no is. There's a list somewhere on the net showing the most common ones. You will probably have a different one.

I still think you are telling people that it's free to flash... and DaVinci has now implemented a solution for all this "missunderstanding" so people wont flash (by getting hold of flash files) and thinking it will work without finalization: The client now checks and makes sure you have at least 1 credit before flashing! That way people who don't have a credit wont flash for "free" thinking it's actually free and leave those without a credit having to buy one if they where not willing to in the first place.

So, now the client checks that you actually have a credit before letting you flash - that's a great improvement and will stop a lot of people screaming that 1) they flashed their phone and have no money to make it work now 2) DaVinci didn't let them now the service wasn't free

Well they should have done that (checking for at least 1 credit FISRT and warning people about it) from the VERY beginning.
It was very misleading of them to let people download their software and flash the cell phone, that without finalization was going to be unoperative.
And cybervisitor, seriously, do you lobby for them or something? Do you get a free credit for every three posts praising their "excellent" "flawless" and "wonderful" service??

You have a point there. I forget how dumb people can be...

I should've known, because i make software to be sold all around the world and you wouldn't believe how high the dumbness levels of users can be.
