@Johnny,
Dude, I am not trying to scare you with this flashing thing. I have had trouble as have others here. Do a search and see if you can find the other threads about users flashing their phones. I tried, it didn't work and TMS, SETOOL, and Da Vinci said that it is not possible with CID36 phones. These other people here that have done it probably have CID29 phones or CID36 emulating phones(not quite sure about this, but this is what I was told) and they can flash theirs. The main thing, is, take the chance and see if you get lucky. If so, report back here. As for the site saying it will work, they want your money and will sell you a credit knowing that they can not flash you, but you will have bought the credit and then have to save it until you can flash your phone. Anyway, good luck dude. Post back with results.

Thanks for the advice I'll have another read through the forums tonight, I have already been reading alot of the previous threads in silence, to get an idea of whats going on. You did not say, do you know how I check the CID?? Also I have not spoken to any of the flashing teams about CID36, I was just looking at the title of version 13.2[v2] see the screen shot. Altough the info window on the left says it can not unlock Z800.

I found you my phone was a CID36 once I tried and failed to flash it. It appears in the error log. The reason I bought the credits was because it said that it could flash v800 phones as well. They can, but not CID 36 phones. This is the rub.

So if I try to flash and it is CID36 all I get is the error message and lose my credits, or does it kill the phone?

Firstly, you could have done it wrong, secondly, you could have used dodgy software. SETool manages fine!

You will not lose your credits as it has not flashed your phone. It may, but I doubt it, kill your phone. It will simply not flash the phone and you will be stuck with the Vodafone crap. The only thing that bothers me is not being able to use .mp3's as ringing tones, but I have a program from SE that will allow this, so in effect I am missing nothing. I will eventually buy a z800 and that will be that, but other than the Vodafone Key on the desktop, and the few Vodafone files, I am not bothered at all.

Setool's now only available as standalone so its not an option for me to pay £££ to flash one phone. I hope and pray that davinci's works.
Like the campagne covers though got some on order myself.

I would use TMS as opposed to Da Vinci. I have heard that TMS is a bit better and more stable.
Just to make things clear. If the others offering advice have flashed their phones, they need to give you the entire story. I am speaking from experience. I was told by the same people(some of them) to just go ahead and flash it, but they did not give the rest of the story. If you want that copy of the software to create DRM files for .mp3 ringing tones, send me a PM and I will send you the software. Need to run to a meeting, so I will not be back for a few hours.

Oh well just found out that my new cable has been delivered, so by the end of the day I'll either have a flashed V800 with Z800 firmware or the kids have got a new toy.
Thanks for all the help guys I let know how I get on.
