Great post Johnny.
After looking at the diagrams and what is involved. I would buy a DSS-25 and call it a day.
By purchasing another cable, this would be about the same as buying a DSS-25 Sync Station.
I used the DSS-25 and it went great at 408k(something like that), and the entire think took about 20 mins.

I bought a DCU-11 a few months ago while I was waiting for the Z800i firmware to be made available, turns out it was a waste of money because you can't flash with it anyhow. Unless you modify it, which also would not have been a problem for myself, but the one I have can't be modified. Also they're a pain in the butt and mine doesn't even work all the time as a data cable. I can see the advantages of the DSS-25 because it also charges, doesn't it?

Quote from previous thread:
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.
Did you manage to unlock and flash your CID36 V800, or just flash only?

No it doesn't charge, but my phone was never locked. Vodafone phones from Germany are free, but have the Vodafone stuff on it. I was using it here in Finland but now it is flashed and is a normal z800 but with the Vodafone covers.

Just wondering if the unlock works for CID36, obviously we now know the flash works.

Cheaper than buying that Z800i you talked about, and they look great beleive me.

DRM stands for Digital Rights Management. A fancy way of saying, "you have to buy your ringing tones from us" with us being the GSM operators. There is a SonyEricsson ring tone converter that will "package" your .mp3 into a DRM wrapper that will let the phone play any .mp3 ringing tone that you want. If you need it, PM me with an email address and I can send it to you.
As far as flashing the phone. Follow the instructions in this thread. It works. I did mine about a week ago and I will continue to love me newly flashed z800. It is worth it and you can not wreck the phone. I used Da Vinci and it worked perfectly. You could also PM Jonny and ask him what he did as well.
Cheers mate
