@NME
This is a very good post, and very necessary. People NEED to know that the davinci update is not free!
The Davinci website lets you download the software, and its program actually flashes the phone but if you don't have a credit purshased beforehand the davinci flasher will leave your phone unoperative!!! BEWARE OF THIS!!!
That happened to my phone and luckily for me I already had a paypal account so I was able to buy the credit inmediately.
But I think that is very misleading and they should clearly warn you BEFORE you do anything of the risk involved.
Basically I paid 10 euros just to have the spanish T9 in my phone for it was already debranded. A RIP-OFF!!! And the worst part is that it actually deleted the English T9 (I don't use it that much for we speak spanish in Venezuela) but still I think it was an absolute scam. Then I wrote to let them know that I wanted to have the English T9 back in the phone, (it was already there) and basically they washed their hands.

@max - Yeah. I find that the little things make it quite a bit nicer
@victor - That's an unfortunate story. What I would recommend is flashing your phone using a CDA that uses both English and Spanish and that way you can keep upgrading with it using SEUS with those 2 languages. Unfortunatley I don't know which CDA it is..Or even if there is one?
Anyone have any ideas?

Hello all .. this is my first post and all this phone flashing business is new to me! Just got a K750i and have succesfully de-branded from Vodafone onto R1L002, the intention being to then use SEUS to get the newest firmware.
I understand that SEUS will be checking my CDA to see if I can update, but it currently wont let me claiming that they do not support my provider (since I did the flashing). Everyone on this forum seems to be saying I should have updated the phone's CDA to CDA102338/38 (I'm in the UK), but that option is not in the list on my DaVinici program - does anyone know how I can get it there so I can have another go?
I'm much happier with the unbranded phone now anyway, so I wont be too upset if I'm stuck with it, but it'd be a shame if I'd banned myself from SEUS future updates?!

Oops.. forgot to mention that the CDA that I DID use was the one mentioned in the intructions at the start of this thread CDA102337/10 - Europe2) - so maybe this answers the question as to whether SEUS works after this update process?!

I was having trouble upgrading my firmware as I was on 02. I have used this useful guide and have successfully debranded my phone and upgraded my firmware to the latest R1N035 firmware.
Thank you once again for this very useful guide!

@shiggsy - I just used SEUS to upgrade to R1N035 with no problems. I'm also using CDA102337/10 - Europe2 as my CDA. I'm pretty sure the CDA doesn't matter too much so long as you have the language pack you need. Perhaps try it again now. Maybe they just hadn't released the EU2 version of the firmware. I'm pretty sure with te DaVinci software you can type in whatever CDA you want (the actual aussie one wasn't there as someone said above) but I wasn't game enough to try.
So I guess I've confirmed that using SEUS after debranding works fine and still keeps you with the vanilla firmware. Cool
Thanks for the feedback guys

hmm, i had a Vodafone branded k750i, i used Davinci and unbranded it to R1L002.
It looks great and works great, except the camera is inferior to the past firmwares. i heard the a new firmware is out and fixed the camera, so i went to seus and tried to update.
it won't let me, it says:
"Your device is not permitted to use this service
Your operator does not approve the use of this service with this device.
We look forward to assisting you again soon.
Thank you for using the Sony Ericsson Update Service!"
@shiggsy- maybe Vodafone has some kind of special protection.
CDA: 102337/1 R6A (Hong Kong), i wanted chinese on my fone >.

Do you need to purchase a lead to do this?

@TypeR - Yeah it'll be the SEUS problem everyone is having. As someone else said in this post, it has been done ok with a Vodafone Live! phone.
@leebyatt - The USB cable that comes with your K750i is fine so long as you use version 13.7 of the client from DaVinci team.
