(you have to sign up to download the software)
contact to purchase credits as no current price for single credits
instructions here
http://www.universalbox.com/display.php?id=260
You will need a service cable to unlock
which you can get here (uk)
http://www.activemobiles.com/Sony_Ericsson_T28_Datacables.htm
If your phone is currently network locked you will need
1 credit to unlock
1 credit to debrand/update firmware
Davinci and Totalserver then say it's free to update firmware after that. This is true, HOWEVER you need to have a credit in order to make your firmware update final and get the phone working!!!
As far as i'm aware you cannot yet use the DSS syncstation other than with the SE US update service.
all have advantages /disadvantages
Totalserver is the most popular but can tend to crash mid flash - can only update k700 to R2AA CID 29 which then won't work with the sony update service
Davinci is the next best which allows you to flash k700 R2L or R2AA and still use the update service.
Davinci also silences the camera shutter sound when in silent mode.
I know nothing about Universalbox so if anyone tries it let us know how it goes!
If i've missed anything off i'm sure you lot will add to this post.

ok... very good. from where to start, hmm...
1. another one that is more of universal solution, but also works as remote server is Griffin and works in its new version with new SE phones.
2. far the best is DaVinci Server, because people that are doing it are pros. and know why and what they are doing. For me more important is who does it the best and not who does it first! Too many unresolved issues with TMS and even when I tried to point out some things to TMS Team they didn't care. So why should I?
3. I had some contact with Universal Box guys, but didn't try them as they didn't want to give any test logs and they are selling only for 100€ and more. And I am not in demand for 200 logs
.
4. Far the best solution is to visit your official SE Service Center to do the flashing / software upgrade or to call your network operator for code to unlock the phone.
IMHO, TC,

Just let people know, standalone tools are starting to include the new phone support, so this is another option if people are confident in doing the upgrade themselves.
Posted by vee
That's right, but I am not really sure how soon/fast will standalone solutions will be able to deal with new protections SE implemented. FE. Griffin is standalone solutions, but uses remote server for some procedures. Also Fighter is standalone solution, didn't yet implement support for new phones, but may also use a remote server for some procedures.

Do not buy from ActiveMobiles as they just take your money and dont send any cables to you at all.
Been waiting for several days now. Have sent any email and tried phone several times, no response.
See Link Other Users been having the same problem

Regarding www.totalserver.net...
I have a Z1010, and I want to upgrade the firmware, and install new language pack. This cost`s one credit.
Do I have to pay one credit as well to establish what "CID NUMBER" my phone is?
And also, when it comes to Z1010, it only lists Z1010 RED...and not Z1010 SILVER..
I have a silver. Do I have 2 worry?
Cheers

I've a spare credit for MultiServer. If anyone wants it, I'll take paypal for £5.
Please mail me at danstephens@dsl.pipex.com and I'll mail the details over.
Cheers.

I bought a data cable from Active mobiles and find that it doesn't work.
I've tried installing and re-installing with and without the drivers it came with. It charges my phone, but nothing else seems to happen.
Anyone got any ideas? Davinci server isn't recognizing the cable....
Posted by gbrooks3
What does your cable look like? Is your battery fully charged?
Posted by 619
check your cable, you might got a data cable...
if you have access to dss-25 (cradle of P900/910) you can use it with davinci
Posted by manuelc

It's a USB data cable.... I need a serial service cable instead right?
What is dss-25?
Posted by 619
dss-25 is a cradle that comes w/ P900 and P910i
im not sure if dss-20 can be used.
Posted by rdnymllnsktr
For all SE phones that aren't PDA types, you'll need to have a service cable. The data cable is slightly different, but can be converted to a service cable (I am not giving instructions, I'm too lazy). For all PDA phones, SE should have it somewhere on their site to automatically download it to your phone and upgrade it that way. They did that for the P800.
Posted by Goebbles
I've got the right cable now and Davinci is connecting to the phone. But now it says the flash reader is not accepted! It also states that it's found a dead phone.
Wot does that all mean?
Posted by jdg
i got a question about davinci what if while flashing my phone and then something goes wrong (pc automatically resets, power/internet interruptions) and my phone goes dead. can i also use davinci to repair a dead phone and how do you go about it?
Posted by gbrooks3
Yes, well i cannot speak about Davinci but Setool can easily.
Posted by jdg
can i use a dss-25 with setool to flash my phone?
Posted by AlfBaxter
No, AFAIK the only flashing solutions that support DSS-25 are SEUS and Davinci.
Posted by 619
yes, davinci can also revive a phone..
Posted by d-kopf
I may be daft or something, but there is one thing I don't understand. Why does one have to buy credits from somewhere to to be able to flash a phone? Isn't there any programs that you can just download as any other application and go about your business without being charged money for flashing your phone?
Posted by gbrooks3
No. There is no free version.
Posted by d-kopf
Not for the setool/davinci no. But what I meant was that it seems all flashing programs seem to work this way. It almost seems as if there was a monopoly at the flash-app-market. And why the awkward solution of buying credits? Why can't you just buy a licence to the app as you would with any other app in the world...
Posted by gbrooks3
The GSM industry is big business, everybody wants a piece of the pie. The are programs that do not require credits at all. They retail at around £200 GBP. Then you can flash/unlock all you want.

as for davinciteam, it doesnt debrand P910... it can only do unlocking.
it can only debrand/flash k5, k7, s7, z10, v8
Posted by haynesycop
i bought the credit direct from davinci
then i realised i couldnt flash it so i asked for a refund

Yeah, I'm feeling a bit discruntled too. Bought a davinci credit the other day and still can't get a hold of the flash files 'cos their FTP server is still down. On their news page they posted problems with their FTP server on the 9th - 4 days ago - and no further news of when the problem might get fixed!
Not really what I would call a professional service for something that is supposedly "big business".
Meantime I have a K700 phone that I can't get back up and working after using SEUS. The davinci client reports the following, after reading the CID:
Client Version 12.5
**** READING CID STARTED ****
Power on the phone!
Unknown model:
42 56 5A 42 52 C6 90 1E
Execution Time - 00:00:05
Error: 0x000120
The phone (it's fully unlocked) reports:
"Configuration error. Please contact your network operator or service centre".
I have a DSS-25 so I am kind of stuck since I can't use some of the other re-flash services as they don't work with a syncstation.
