View Full Version : K850 & Kulakendi - I'am a client, can you help?

Good morning,
I have a TIM Italy branded K850 and hate the menus they have packed into the firmware.
I want to unbrand to generic SE firmware Italian & English. Latest firmware (stable)
I have downloaded the software and instructions.
I have bought 1 SE credit from kulakendi and got my login and password.
Before flashing the phone, (FS & main latest stable version), I want to be sure to use properly my credits avoiding phone locks.
Can you help?
1) Is the DB3150 A2 option correct (not PDA)? What options should I tick (finalization, clear user code, reset call time, change CDA) ? I'm not interested in resetting counters, but I've been told I need to change CDA. What is CDA, how do I change it and why do I need to change CDA?
1.1) What CID should I download 49-52 or 110? I need generic Italian and english (seems "Adriatic")...
2) I have downloaded latest drivers from Sony Ericsson PC Suite; do I still need the kulakendi driver for flashing the phone?
3) Once got the proper drivers I should only:
- download the latest FS & Main from kulakendi with KKClient (download files button?)
- set the proper options in KKClient
- turn off the phone, take the battery off, uninstall the SIM, put the battery back and power on pressing the C button.
- once done I can start flashing?
Please confirm, would like to avoid credit waste and phone lock.
Thanks for helping!

1. K850 is DB3150, so yes, this setting is correct. You should tick "finalization", too.
1.1. 3150 are mostly Cid52, but you can always check it by "read info"
2. No, SE drivers are enough to start flashing.
Procedure:
1. download flash files
2. set options (open file, etc)
3. press flash phone
4. turn phone off, and keeping "c" down, attach to usb cable. procedure should start.
good luck !

Thanks for answering.
Can you explain what the CDA is for and if I need to change it?

cda is a variant of the phone, for example 12026094 is a customized variant for t-mobile, 12010164 is a generic variant for taiwan and so on.
CDA is also used by SEUS (SonyEricssonUpdateService) to determine which software's variant should be uploaded to phone.
Usually you don't need to change CDA.

@*MaTeOoSh*
Thanks for answers :) I'm busy as hell last weeks...
@i_am_blutarsky
More info:
1. For UR phone select A2 tab
2. U need to mark FINALIZATION before flashing phones, without this option phone will be flashed but U can't use it(configuration error)
3. Read phone info and see Firmware version, if same firmware version for this model is available on support then U can download only FS file(it store language). If is different then download MAIN and FS
4. Load them to buffer( load main and load FS), select Finalization and click EXECUTE
5. follow instructions on KK Screen ...

Ok everything worked fine, I've only selected "finalize" in the options and downloaded the latest FS & MAIN (CID 52) adriatic (it has english and italian).
I holded my breath only on first phone boot because of a long blu window showing "please wait" fro a few minutes, but after that the phone booted correctly.

8 euro? it's correct... main + fs + finalize!
KulanKendi
04-01-2008, 19:06
yes, 8 euro
for 8 euro U can do 3 operation for one phone
so it mean U can flash it 3 times.
for example:
1. MAIN+FS+FINAL (or other option too)
2. Phone code
3. again flashing with change CDA
is example operations are depend of user choice.

I need to flash my headset with R1EA031MAIN and FS_ADRIATIC_RED52 firmware! U have this firmware? If y pay with paypal now... can you give me the id and psw?
My phone was an orange simlocked but branded too... i need to change the CDA or not?
KulanKendi
04-01-2008, 20:30
first I'll check on SE server, I do not have that firmware now, what language U need? because it can be in other pack. Also please read about how to get login and pass, we do not send it, U get it manually right after pay. U can change CDA if U want to update UR phone with SEUS in future and not get branded back to orage, but U need to find correct CDA or after tell me language what U need I'll find it
