    If you enter:

    "CDA 162004/29" or several other CDA 162004/X numbers that I've tried,
    the latest firmware available is R3A06 or R1A05.

    If you enter CDA 162003/2, or several other numbers in the 162003/X
    range, the latest update seems to be R4B03.

    Is there a listing of CDA numbers and what language/operator they are for?

    Also, if I pretend that my phone is a CDA162003/2, will the update work?

    Thanks for the info.
    My seaches on google and google groups had proved fruitless. When
    searching again after your post, I realised the post above didn't
    mention the P900 so was out of the scope of my searches.

    You cannot simply enter a new a fake cda number and 'fool' SE into unbranding your phone, there was an unbranding hack going around that would secretly send a undbranded cda version code to sonyericsson and sonyericsson would unbrand your phone by installing the new firmware of the unbranded cda version.

    sony soon caught on, and put an end to it.

    Believe it or not the cda version is unencrypted, it's written on a .txt file in A:\system\data\cda_version.txt

    Inside that file the following is written

    CDA162004/3 RCA01

    If you change the contents of that file to something like

    CDA162003/5 RCA01

    and then run the online updater you could theoratically unbrand your phone.

    Here comes the difficult bit however,

    Changing the ROM files are impossible, because they are all read only and there is no way of changing it unless you have some sort of flashing tool, I've managed to 'browse' into the phone using smans tool, but you can't edit any files, simply view them.
