Think it's about time to put all the Remote Server softwares in one place.

Here Goes
The 3 Remote unlocker/flashers that are halfway reliable are

Remote Unlocker / Davinci Server

price reduces from here on quantity


Total Multiserver

user guide is here

purchase credits from

10 Credits - £4


Universal Solution Server (new kid on the block)

download from
http://www.universalbox.com
(you have to sign up to download the software)
contact to purchase credits as no current price for single credits
instructions here
http://www.universalbox.com/display.php?id=260


You will need a service cable to unlock

which you can get here (uk)
http://www.activemobiles.com/Sony_Ericsson_T28_Datacables.htm

If your phone is currently network locked you will need

1 credit to unlock
1 credit to debrand/update firmware

Davinci and Totalserver then say it's free to update firmware after that. This is true, HOWEVER you need to have a credit in order to make your firmware update final and get the phone working!!!

As far as i'm aware you cannot yet use the DSS syncstation other than with the SE US update service.

all have advantages /disadvantages
Totalserver is the most popular but can tend to crash mid flash - can only update k700 to R2AA CID 29 which then won't work with the sony update service

Davinci is the next best which allows you to flash k700 R2L or R2AA and still use the update service.

Davinci also silences the camera shutter sound when in silent mode.

I know nothing about Universalbox so if anyone tries it let us know how it goes!

If i've missed anything off i'm sure you lot will add to this post.

ok... very good. from where to start, hmm...

1. another one that is more of universal solution, but also works as remote server is Griffin and works in its new version with new SE phones.

2. far the best is DaVinci Server, because people that are doing it are pros. and know why and what they are doing. For me more important is who does it the best and not who does it first! Too many unresolved issues with TMS and even when I tried to point out some things to TMS Team they didn't care. So why should I?

3. I had some contact with Universal Box guys, but didn't try them as they didn't want to give any test logs and they are selling only for 100€ and more. And I am not in demand for 200 logs .

4. Far the best solution is to visit your official SE Service Center to do the flashing / software upgrade or to call your network operator for code to unlock the phone.

IMHO, TC,

Just let people know, standalone tools are starting to include the new phone support, so this is another option if people are confident in doing the upgrade themselves.

That's right, but I am not really sure how soon/fast will standalone solutions will be able to deal with new protections SE implemented. FE. Griffin is standalone solutions, but uses remote server for some procedures. Also Fighter is standalone solution, didn't yet implement support for new phones, but may also use a remote server for some procedures.

TC,

Do not buy from ActiveMobiles as they just take your money and dont send any cables to you at all.
Been waiting for several days now. Have sent any email and tried phone several times, no response.

See Link Other Users been having the same problem

Regarding www.totalserver.net...

I have a Z1010, and I want to upgrade the firmware, and install new language pack. This cost`s one credit.

Do I have to pay one credit as well to establish what "CID NUMBER" my phone is?

And also, when it comes to Z1010, it only lists Z1010 RED...and not Z1010 SILVER..

I have a silver. Do I have 2 worry?

Cheers

I've a spare credit for MultiServer. If anyone wants it, I'll take paypal for £5.

Please mail me at danstephens@dsl.pipex.com and I'll mail the details over.

I bought a data cable from Active mobiles and find that it doesn't work.
I've tried installing and re-installing with and without the drivers it came with. It charges my phone, but nothing else seems to happen.

Anyone got any ideas? Davinci server isn't recognizing the cable....

What does your cable look like? Is your battery fully charged?

Because the platform sends bogus messages while charging, that is why!!!..But why this change of heart?..We sense a charger connected, oops, we will not shut down after all!!!..*********************** UI BASIC, HOLD YOUR HORSES

It's a USB data cable.... I need a serial service cable instead right?

For all SE phones that aren't PDA types, you'll need to have a service cable. The data cable is slightly different, but can be converted to a service cable (I am not giving instructions, I'm too lazy). For all PDA phones, SE should have it somewhere on their site to automatically download it to your phone and upgrade it that way. They did that for the P800.

I've got the right cable now and Davinci is connecting to the phone. But now it says the flash reader is not accepted! It also states that it's found a dead phone.

Wot does that all mean?
