If you're prepared to pay to debrand your phone then visit one of the official sites such as davinciteam.com or have a look this thread.

If you want to use the free method then have a look at this thread.

The CDA is a code held by the phone that identifies which country and which type of firmware was on the phone when you purchased it.

This is so that when you plug the phone into Sony Ericsson's Update Service, the system can tell what firmware - branded or otherwise - to update your phone with.

By changing the CDA on your phone to a generic one, you are basically 'fooling' SEUS into thinking you have a generic phone. Thereafter, it will install a generic fw onto your phone.

Naughty but Nice.

Your job is to find a generic CDA that you know for sure has the FB app, change the cda, then update your phone with SEUS.
