K800i - How to properly flash?

Hi guys!
I would like an advice for flashing my phone.
I recently updated my phone using official and latest Sony_Ericsson_PC_Companion_2.01.231.
I tried to flash it again on my own using XS++v3.2 but without success because it says that my phone is not supported:

What can be done here and what is the actual problem? Thanks!

The problem is your phone is CID53. SEUS Will always update <CID53 DB2020 phones to CID53.

XS++ doesn't support CID53 phones so you can use JDFlasher or Wotanserver to flash for free.

Thank you very much boysie for the instructions. Is there anything else you might add that I should pay attention to while flashing the phone so I do it properly? Thanks :a013

I wonder why you need to flash again after using SEUS?

The phone is branded to one particular network.

I see. Well then download Generic CID53 R8BF003 main, fs and a matching custom or as I said earlier; just use Wotanserver :a013

Hi again. After careful examination of the forum and searching the easiest way to flash my phone safely I tried and successfully flashed my SE K800 using FAR Manager with JDFlash plug in. Works fine, fully debranded! :a013

Ok, well done. :) Thread closed.
