But i've search some, none of them hv red 980..

how much does ORI set cost for w980i?

juz got my w980 today...tried to update the firmware coz mine is kinda old which is R3CA033, i tried to use SE's official update service but it says there's no new updates...what should i do?

they should have it. dont think the red one is limited ed

last i checked, the price for Ori set is around RM1199

yours is AP set? got any Vodafone or Orange logo> if got, mybe u should debrand it first

luckily mine is generic and i've already updated to r3da028 china using a2uploader which is a very easy tool to use for beginners! I juz flashed it with the same region firmware which is china and it works! no nid to flash custompacks as mentioned in the tutorial i read

for beginners who would like to flash their firmwares other den using SEUS(SE update service), here's the link to the tutorials :

off topic for a while...

the title can not be any more misleading...

For those who fail to update their firmwares thru SEUS, its most likely u have a invalid CDA number (usually happens to AP sets)...u can correct it by changing it with a software called A2 CDA file generator which is 100% free, and there is a thorough guide to do it!

To check ur CDA code, go to the service menu by pressing >*<<*<*, den go to service info>software info...scroll down and find CUSTIMIZATION, there u will see the codes. Mine is 12345678-1234(which is wrong) before this, now its corrected to 1201-0176

Using SEUS to update is more secure and u can get latest firmwares, which is quite impossible to find them elsewhere.

i've tried it and it works perfectly, and i think the risk involved is minimum...

i also just know bout this

free ..yes..
but legal....a bit dubious

The SEUS update problem mainly occurs to AP sets which have wrong CDA codes...this is the fastest and easiest way to fix it...

If u use services like davinci team who also can hack ur phone to change the CDA number or flash ur firmware, it will cost u money

Else if u send it back to ur AP company to reflash it, i think they'll oso charge u

it didnt or did affect the warranty?

Hey guys, should I get this phone over the W890? Basically I don't really look for camera/music player as I already have a DSLR setup and iPods.

Also, how much can I get an AP W980 for?

ermmm...not sure bout it coz it only changes the CDA code without changing any files...

u juz put the generated xml file into ur phone and it will do the trick.

count me in...finally get myself a w980, thx for ap set price drop so much d...haha, damn cheap la...
