the company i claimed warranty will come to know that phone has been modified. still when it has p1i default gdfs.???

You could say that you upgraded your firmware with SEUS (upgrading firmware with SEUS does not void warranty): if you did not change the CDA (which, anyway *is* possible with a small hack even with SEUS) they cannot say nothing...

wen i bought the p1i its cda numb was CDA162024/87 R1A i changed to CDA: CDA162022/2 R6F38. then i changed cda back to CDA162024/87 R1A and updated whch updated the CDA to CDA162024/87 R2A BEFORE giving to claim warranty. so still they will come to know that it has been modified???

Hi!

I've just gotten my hands on a Sony W960i...but the phone comes without Chinese language support. I'm thinking of flashing it to either HK/TW W960i firmware (found in the forum).

My concerns are:

a) Will this work? Is there any pre-empt actions/steps i should do before flashing it? I know it's a noob question. I've read some posts and here's what i *think* is the proper way:

i) Backup the GDFS of the mobile phone using XS++ (v3.1).
ii) Flash the W960i with XS++

b) Will the firmware i flash (HK/TW) in this instance renders my phone void of registering on my mobile operator's network? Coming from PPC background (WM2003-WM6), it can be easily updated via radio files. Has anyone tried it?

Thanks for reading.

ya make sure you back up first. mistake i did was i did backup but i couldnt find the backup folder anywhere. so make sure you have an eye on the backup folder after backing up original gdfs. flash with xs++ and warranty i'm not sure.

guys today warranty company called me and they said your phone is dead and will swap you a new phone. i think so its because i had changed everything back to default.:D:D
