Hi, I got my K850i in May, second hand, and I really want to update to the latest firmware, as the version I have currently is the vodafone first version. If I did update it using SEUS would it bebrand it too? Also what can go wrong? I have the software on my computer and can do it, but when ever I am free to do it, there is something stopping me, I am really worried. Should I be? What's the best way to prevent the problems etc. Thanks for the help, (sorry I guess I suffer from hypochondria  )

Hi, If ur phone is CID52 i wouldn't recommend updating with SEUS as it will update to CID53 which means limited modding. Updating phones/modding does carry an element of risk but if u follow the good advice on this forum u really cant in wrong. I cant post any links cos im on me phone but there are top tuts here to guide you.

the poster has K850i which cant be modded any how  i recommend u use totalgsm or da vinci services to do a debranding (meaning getting rid of vodafone FW) this allows u to recieve the latest software update as released by SOny instead of Voda.
things that can go wrong...if ur comp shuts down halfway through update u might brick ur phone but thats about all i noe wen using SEUS.
good luck |

Firmware: R1CA029
Something else...
PRG12004394_VODAFONE_SO
I don't really care about Modding all I want is the R1FA035, and if possible no Vodafone branding. Will SEUS debrand it, or will I have to use Davini(SP)?
Also if it did get bricked during the process can't I just redo again?
Thanks

Seus will update it on the latest Vodafone firmware, it will NOT debrand it , youll have to use davinci.
It wont get bricked, as its easy to reflash 'dead phones' so yeah you can redo it again |

OK Thanks, is Davinci the cheapest? It's like 8.45 Pounds...I have no money just now, so I'll have to save up XD.
I feel a little more confident now. |
