This is what I got after using the A2 CDA Generator. My FW version is R1BA042 generic MAIN and APAC-ANZ FS, I did change my CDA to HK to get the R1DA032 (the update went fine) but I need to revert to my old CDA for warranty. Obviously with this condition when I go to SEUS it won't give me any updates, any idea how to solve mates? And my latest SEUS doesn't have the forced reflash option. I have also tried a full master reset and reuploading the customize_upgrade.xml but no joy still.

give it a go with this:

Code:
<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"utf-8\"?>

<customization>
<info>
<cda-number>1209-4780</cda-number>
<cda-revision>RDA</cda-revision>
<created-by>bboyzahid</created-by>
</info>
</customization>

that is the same you posted earlier.

here's a custom i found at 4shared: http://www.4shared.com/file/8[....]_FS__Generic_APAC_ANZ.html?s=1

upload it to your phone, perform a master reset and upgrade with seus.

Well I also noticed that my CDA haven't changed really. Only the upper string changes every time I tried. My current FS is an APAC-ANZ one that I got from esnips, flashed it with A2 Uploader. But will try the link! Thanks a lot tranced!

UPDATE: Managed to change the CDA to APAC ANZ's and is now updating via SEUS. I followed tranced's instructions down to removing and reinserting the battery every time I disconnect the phone in the process of flashing. I didn't do it before because I never had to do it with my C702. In fact I didn't have to remove the battery when updating to Hong Kong's firmware lol. So folks, if anyone have this kind of problem now you know what to do.

Big, BIG thanks to tranced, one of Esato's most helpful members.

If may ask a last question tranced, when you said backup, did you mean a restore point created with MyPhoneExplorer? If so, I already did it

Glad you solved your problem. When i said backup, i meant a backup from some important folders from your FS. Since i managed to mess with the languages of my phone, i've had done a backup to that folder.

Oh I see what you mean, read it with A2 Uploader right? Yeah, it was a real nightmare just keeping your warranty alive it seems
