I bought a w900i on vodafone and debranded it with a generic flash, i used EMEA_1 FS because I wanted polish on it. After i updated it with SEUS my polish had disappeared, apparently this is because i used an incorrect CDA string, could someone please tell me what is the correct CDA and FileSystem flash for a w900i. seuniverse forum isn't exactly forthcoming with this info, I'm going wherever I can to get an answer. |

@boba: Sorry but NO Service Point can flash any different language packages on the newer SE-phones, because they all have to work with EMMA III and EMMA III just looks at the IMEI and the CDA-string (customisation) and checks both with an internal database. And then EMMA III knows, which languages or flashfiles are allowed for this specific handset.
So what will happen, when you debrand/decustomize a SE and bring it to a SP? Nothing, because EMMA III recognizes that the IMEI and the CDA of the phone doesn't match and won't start to work.
The SEUS is a bit less secure and if you write a new CDA to the phone most time you still can get the newest sw with SEUS.
But now to this specific W900i which should have polish language:
I have looked at several CDA-db but nowhere found something about the polish one and the other suitable are:
CDA102418/2 Generic Czech Republic
CDA102418/4 Generic Hungary
But these should use EMEA2 or EMEA3, right?
so you will loose again the right language.

@Tiger: I should think you are right because to prove a point i have a sister with a w800i, her phone has the EMEA_1 language set and the CDA String of her phone is CDA102430/1 EMEA_1 but that doesn't mean it is right for my phone. I've looked at several CDA database and ie. a W800i on Vodafone UK has the CDA102425/13 and the W900i has the CDA102419/2 which is what my phone was before I debranded it.
Now what annoys me is that whilst an EMEA_1 language pack is available for the W900 nobody has given out the CDA String, short of asking SE (like they're inclined to tell anyone) for this information what does one do? Perhaps if anyone has had success in flashing the EMEA_1 language set to their W900i and has succesfully updated it afterward using SEUS and all languages have remained intact perhaps they would care to post the CDA string they used. Maybe the one from the W800i did work, but i'm pretty certain CDAs are handset specific. |
