I have tried to read through all 98 pages of this thread without success.
Can someone please explain to this simple soul why it is that I get this "Operator will not allow use of this service" respone when I try to upgrade my firmware? I have a new phone but it has the original firmware version.
I have an unbranded K750i on Vodafone UK. Many thanks.

Hi Bob

Can you check what your CDA number is? (It's in the service menu, towards the bottom of the SW info page). I've just flashed mine to get rid of the Orange branding and it now doesn't work on SEUS despite me using the 'generic UK' CDA - when it was an Orange CDA it worked fine, but it doesn't seem to like the generic one. The list of which CDAs are and aren't accepted by SEUS seems to vary weekly/monthly (as SE can change it as they see fit).

Cheers

Alan

Same for me. Unbranded O2 phone about 10 weeks old. Can anyone help or explain? Thanks

@MnM - could you check what your CDA is too? It seems that SEUS might not be accepting the generic (unbranded) UK CDA just now, and only allowing in the branded phones (e.g., Orange, Voda, etc.). Don't know why this would be the case but it seems too coincidental that lots of people with unbranded phone can't access the service.

I don't want to get anyone's hopes up. But perhaps Se are uploading a new (unbranded) firmware version? The fact that branded phones are still accepted would then be explained by the extra time it takes for branding and testing/approving the branded versions (thus released on a later date).

I know, I know... wishfull thinking... perhaps

Ooh that'd be nice (doubt it, but no harm dreaming!)

Yep, that's the same CDA as I'm using - it's the generic one for the UK (ie for unbranded phones). For some reason it seems that SEUS currently isn't working with this, only with branded ones (I like dietbrand's idea that it's due to a new firmware version being imminent but sadly that's probably not the case and I don't know what the real reason is).

Is anyone with an unbranded UK phone able to use SEUS currently?

After the GPRS problems with R1J on O2 - I am very cautious of any upgrade. R1L may have bugs but don't all rush out on the 1st day...
