my sony ericsson hand set is locked to vodafone uk but will not let me make any calls i have the lead to unlock it can some one help me and show me some place to get the drivers its a k750i thanks andy

David says: Not sure what you mean with "will not let me make any calls", this sounds like a faulty phone! I suspect that the phone and contract is older than 1 year in which case Vodafone has to give you the unlock code. This is your cheapest and safest solution. To unlock the k750i all you need is the standard USB cable and an unlocking service provider. I have used DavinciTeam previously and can recommend their service.

Is it possible to unlock the sim to all networks using the standard DCU-60 cable or do i have to purchase a separate unlocking cable for that.

David says:
You will need a service cable to unlock the network lock to be able to use the phone with all networks.

Lyckades du få bort Vodafone Live?
Enkelt?
Kostar?
Skaffade mej just en och efter fem minuter är jag trött på den jäkla brandingen.

David says:
The Vodafone branding is very heavy and quite poor in my opinion.
I was able to completely remove the Vodafone branding. The davinci team service is very easy to use with the standard USB cable.
It should cost no more than €5.
Added bonus was being able to select a Scandinavian firmware that added Scandinavian languages to my UK phone.

When you say you “successfully flashed” to the R1AA008, do you mean you used the SEUS system on sonyericsson.com support site? I was under the impression that Vodafone-branded k750i’s couldn’t do that.

David says:
Using the DaVinci Team Software.
Just like you say, the standard SEUS will upgrade your firmware but will preserve the crippling Vodafone branding.

i need help . where can i get to download the drm packager for a sonyericsson v800, vodafone

David says:
Get the packager directly from Sony:
http://developer.sonyericsson.com/site/global/docstools/misc/p_misc.jsp
A registration is required but is worth it because the site has a lot of quality content.
I got the DRM packager from here: http://home.tiscali.ch/tutorials/drm_packager_1_21.zip

Mount the Phone via USB on the Mac, use Terminal to cd to the directory which contains the ._ files.
Type: rm .*

The ._ files are there BECAUSE of your mac. The macintosh uses these files to store the preferences for each icon and a thumbnail of the icon etc. The only way to get rid of them would be to remove them from the phone on a PC and then not plug the phone into a Mac again

On my K750i I seem to have every file duplicated in my pictures and mp3’s with the same name but a ._ in front. these can’t be deleted despite all efforts including putting the card on my mac any ideas?

dose anyone know how to over ride the "branded" firmware and replace it with the orginal SE firmware?

David says: One way is to download the firmware flash client from Da Vinci Team, purchase a credit for 10 Euro and do it your self. If you have SE K750i, you can even use the standard USB cable. Otherwise you can try locating a high street shop that will do it for you.
