Hi all, i have something questions:
My k850 just went BROD (arg) and i'm planning to flash it to R1CA037 using davinci..
I'm in the netherlands, Western-europe, unbranded, blue.
1) I currently cannot turn off the camera sound.. Could i just flash it to another area fw without any problems?
2) If so , which one would you recommend?
3) How do I know what CDA to use? (should i use "same CDA?")
4) What's "latest" & "generic"
5) I need to tick finalization, yes?
Thanks.

Hi
Your CDA depends on which flash and language pack you are using.
Not sure if Davinci lets you change the CDA.
If you don't change your CDA and flash and in future if you use SEUS it will go back to branded firmware.
Yes when ever you flash you will need to tick finalization or customize( depends on which software you use) , if you don't do so you will get "configuration error, please contact your service provider "

It allows you to choose different CDAs, but i guess a different CDA = different customization?
Why would it go back to branded fw, if i've never had a branded phone?

If you choose customized flash without changing CDA and update phone with SEUS it will get branded.

Not sure if theirs is generic.
Was your phone a branded phone?
Customized flashes of their are unbranded flashes.

no, like i said in my first post..it's unbranded.
I thought customized = branded, as those are the ones that have been customized??
What i meant about generic is, do i need to tick the box? (see screenshot) |

Huh? there's no western europe or anything close to it?
So should i reflash it to R1EA037...and hope it wont happen again..?
Or should i flash to R1CA037 GENERIC/LAM blue (AMERICA)..language isn't much of a problem for me..but will it work when im in NL?
Any other drawbacks?

generic means that it is free of operators stuffs(ringtones, images, etc).

Okai.
let's EDIT this post so it's clear:
Current fw with BROD:
R1EA037, western-europe, unbranded
CDA: 1202-7787
Phone:K850i, CID52, Blue
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Possible choices:
1), BROD-SAFE
version: R1CA037 - GENERIC LAM/BLUE - AMERICA
CDA:1201-0089
Is it possible to use an American fw in the netherlands?
What are the drawbacks?
I will be able to turn off the camera sounds this way also.
2), NOT-BROD-SAFE
version: R1EA031 - KPN MOBILE NETHERLANDS
CDA: 1202-7787 (same CDA as now)
This is the provider i currently have, and also the CDA i currently have.
Now this means that i could flash to this one, and then SEUS it to R1EA037, and all would be just like before..but possible chance of BROD
3), NOT-BROD-SAFE
version: R1EA037 -CUSTOMIZED BENELUX/BLUE
CDA: 1203-6664
higher/newer CDA, not sure of it means anything.
Benelux/blue sounds good too, but it's not the one i currently have.
Maybe this will allow me to turn off the camera sound as well.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
there are no other generic firmwares available.
What would be the best choice?
