why would you want to change it? Brown retails phones work fine from what i've seen.

if you want to flash the phone it has to be converted to brown so if he does want to flash it i don't see a problem. I don't think seus recognises Brown phone, though maybe thats what he wants to do

actually when i read this very confuse.....
so anyone can explain about this

Quote:RED is the RETAIL VERSION while
BROWN is a PROTOTYPE or DEVELOPER version

for phone with CID 16 or CID29 protection, we can unlock the phone without changing the phone type "RED" or "BROWN".

However, for CID36 protected phone (like K750i, V600i or V800 with R1S). Phone needs to be changed from RED to BROWN so that we can unlock or flash it. (obviously, the security "blindpoint" is only available at brown version)

The reason why W800i firmware for brown phone only?? ..cos as explained, at the moment, only BROWN CID 36 can be unlocked or flashed...so u got to change it from RED to BROWN... and DAVINCI server still cannot do that.

Anyway, brown or red won't affect your phone function at all...u will not get any more or less if it's a red or brown phone..

Normally, you will not get REAL BROWN phonem, (although I get four here), cos they are some sort of pre-released or for photo taking prupose only, REAL BROWN phone starts with 0046 IMEI and they have A LOT OF HARDWARE OR BUGS in it...

To change it from brown to red, ask someone or a cell phone company to take your phone in and change it. To do this you need a cruiser / service cable which they have. Takes like 10 seconds. Costed me $5 to change my K750i from brown to red so I could use DaVinci's FS's.

You can change it via Far Manager and the latest version of SEFP plugin . And you don't need service cable , and only DCU cable .
