@Sebby
Fair play matey. I can only speak of what I have picked up from the internet and obviously this can be very unreliable. I do find it strange that if all Orange IMEI's are blocked how several of my friends have managed to re-flash their phones using Davinci (without fiddling with the IMEI) and now their phones are updatable using SEUS.
@wossname
Looking at your CDA number it does not seem to match the installed language. According to tables I have found on the interweb:
http://www.se-world.info/thread.php?postid=148804#post148804
For EU_1 firmware language, your CDA 'should' be CDA102286/16 and not /0. This 'could' be what is causing your problems with SEUS. Mu phone is EU_2 and has the correct CDA1002286/17. If I were you I would use Davinci to re-flash your phone but update the CDA to 103386/16. I am not guarranteeing this will work...but worth a try and you can atleast fully update your phone to the latest firmware at the same time.
Ok Sebby I know this goes against what you are saying....and I am not trying to argue with you or piss you off but if nothing else wossy will have the latest firmware this way.

i think not, you should use the specified device for it to work.. or another option is to bring it to an authorized SE service center and let them do the job.. this way you can be sure that its going to happen right..

I bought an unbranded K750i in france - its current firmware is R1A044. I'd really like to stay legitimate by using SE to upgrade my firmware, but i'm not too thrilled to be sitting idle at the initial firmware release due to SE not updating/maintaining their update service.
My issues are at least this:
. the french support web site has no links for the SE Update Service
. the uk support web site's JWS app says that my operator doesn't support the service (with both an SFR sim and a TMobile sim tried)
(. the swiss support site's JWS app says that i have no USB cable - kwality)
I spoke with a SE service rep on the phone who called me in response to a ticket on this. He attempted to tell me that k750i hardware differs between markets and this is the reason that my unbranded phone couldn't be updated via the SEUS web sites i had visited. He then warned me against visiting other countries' support sites to update my phone through those (seemingly contradicting his hardware theory - since if it was really hardware, why would any other country's site allow me to update)...
Clearly there's something amiss with SE's firmware updating system (or else why would an entire country, like france) not have a link for the SEUS, while other country's misreport and mis-infer information with the phone and the pc.
I'd like not to use DaVinci, i'd really like to use SE - but it's absurd to see firmware release after firmware release come out and have the SE support site be frozen in a half-working, out dated state..

i updated my K700i from r2c001 to r2ae033, using SEUS. when on silent the camera shutter sound was gone on the old firmware. but after updating it comes on even in the silent profile. is there a way to stop it?

I don't have a usb cradle for my K700i but I'm thinking of borrowing one from a friend so I can update using the online SEUS facility myself. I'm from the Philippines and my phone is generic and unbranded. Currently, this is my setting:
R2L001
prgCXC 125882_HONG_KONG_C
LCD 200406041
CAMERA 3.9
ITP CXC 125 813 R1S
Custom
CDA 102286/102 R5A
CXC 125822 R2L001
ASIAN_LAT_2
I read in this post that the latest firmware on SEUS is R2AE033 and that Search function is disabled in Asian firmware. How can I enable that function for my phone? I also kind of confused why my CDA has a /102 at the end and I can seem to find this code anywhere in the CDA list that was referred to here.
If I update to R2E will it be a good idea to update further to the R2AY004 from DaVinci since it increases the Bluetooth speed and fixes the noise in the photos?

With SEUS you keep all your settings although with the Davinci update it will be as if you perform a master reset and will loose everything. Make sure you back up
. I would go for R2AY if you can be bothered.
Can one of the admin guys update the front page post as R2AY is still not on SEUS.

R2AY is not on SEUS, but this is pointed out in the first post:
"The latest Firmware on SEUS is R2AN001 for O2 phones and R2AE033 for unbranded / other operators. "
The first post on my Firmware Overview pages give information on ALL available firmwares - not just those that are available on SEUS.

Ooops
. Sorry about that. Obviously someone must have posted, around that date, that they managed to update to R2Y via SEUS.
I'll investigate further.
[Edit]
My fault - it would appear that they got it updated at a SE Service Centre, not on SEUS. I have modified the first post accordingly.
Sorry for any confusion!
