Davinci is taking 50 credits for a k850 flash right? means 90$!!!
If my phone is not repaired by the ''unbrander'' guy(he wouldn't tell me which system he will use) I will try kukendi for 8 euros(14$)

I didn't have a BROD but a flashed with Da Vinci to upgrade my handset. It was soo... easy, i could actually do it with my eyes closed. Purchase credits, create account, download client, connect phone and your away. It costs 10euro, £8, $16. Very easy.
ONE THING, when finished, and turning phone on again, be very patient, my phone displayed the 'Please Wait' Notice for about 2 mins whilst it sorted everything out, very worried that £140 was going to disapear before my eyes, worked simlessly. Upgraded to 031 using SEUS, been going strong for a week now...

When flashing with Davinci and others,does Davinci ''format'' the K850 before reinstalling the FW?
I am asking that because SE centers could not flash with their own system because they don't erase anything but write over and I think they only flash the FS file without the MAIN,perhaps a SE policy?
The corrupted files are preventing the flashing in SE methods while not with Davinci!!!

Davinci flashes MAIN and FS and FOTA parts of the firmware at the same time. It overwrites the previous ones on the phone, but it doesn't "format" anything.
SEUS only updates MAIN and maybe a part of FS, thus retaining contacts, messages, settings and other things. Davinci resets all those things because it writes the complete firmware (MAIN+FS).
I really wish that SE would come up with a way to back up settings and contacts (including picture and ringtone associations), SMS. Currently, we can only do it partially. This was my problem when I experienced a BROD the other day. I'll be travelling in less than a week, so you guys can imagine my frustration when my phone died so soon before my vacation. Anyway, flashing R1CA037 with Davinci fixed it. I'm not really bothered anymore by having an older firmware, as long as it will work. Took me over two hours to restore everything, though...
