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?

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 :

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...

here's the guide and download page:

Also here's the list of supported phones of the CDA file generator

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

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.

When listening to music, the phone bcomes really slow and laggy, turning visualizations on in music player makes it even slower...do other owners experience this as well?
