All I know that it means that you can use SE US... Correct?
It is just a customization number that is used to identify your software to Update Service...


EDITED FIRST POST with new numbers

Hi again guys and gals,

I just thought I'd add another post on here FYI regarding the development of the "Rob can't flash it" story...

I'll be honest with you, when I couldn't flash the phone I got the hump... Not only because I wanted to effect the bug fixes I've mentioned in previous posts, but also because I'm a %£(!$(% technician, working in PC Specification Design and Research & Development - so it's in my nature to want to fiddle with things, and where possible, rewrite a flash-ROM along the way

So, after having read quite a few threads on here about other peoples' experience with the SE-US, including accounts of success and prohibition from users of all the main UK networks; I figured it was worth a call to SE Customer Services to find out if there was any particular reason I was unable to flash my handset last night...

I couldn't beleive what I was told... it went something like this... "Ahh, well from memory, I think only O2 customers can use the update-site actually..." I then mentioned that I'd read a good few success-stories from Orange users on here, and countless failures from O2 users. SE-girl then said "Well I'll just double-check, I'll pop you on hold for one minute..." (terrible hold-music) "Yes sir, only O2 customers can use the update-site, all the other networks here in the UK have opted-out. (waffle about my nearest service-centre being able to do the job)" -of course there's not really much chance of me being able to travel the considerable distance to the service centre at any time of the day/week that there'll be someone there.

So I'm a little confused, was SE-girl on the blatent-BS mission, and did she put me on hold to play with her nails, or muse to a colleague "I've got another %*£)$£ on the line nagging about software and updates and %£$^, I wish they didn't call"....or are all the Orange users of Esato who've flashed extremely lucky (get down to a shop and pick some lotto numbers guys!) - and all the O2 users who've had trouble the unluckiest bunch on the planet (get down to a shop and pick an insurance-policy guys!)???

I started off not being really bothered about it all, but I'm tempted to make it my mission to find the truth...

Anyway, take it easy all, and be-lucky!

Regards,

Rob.

Using EU_2 by default.

Would love to upgrade my firmware, but though reading here for a few days now, nothings working so far.
Got a DRS-11 serial cable and tried to rewire it to a service cable right after the scheme in this forum, but it wont be recognized.
When connected to my DSS-25 i can communicate with the phone via hyper terminal on the emulated com-port.
I wonder if Totalserver would work with it. But got no CC to order at faceoff.
If anyone would resell me credits via regular paypal transaction, please pm me. Thanks in advance...

You are a bit off topic here, but using TS to unbrand your phone still wouldn't allow you to use SE US.
HTH

Anybody have any experience of using Davinci over Multiserver for flashing R2L back to phone

they still support R2L flashing but unsure if anyone has used the server

I tried to contact them actually, but got no response.
Not a good first impression...
