i'd recomend that you update faid after all of what you said....

after flashing (especially), after unlocking & after changin the IMEI

and....hmmm....i have seen some messages here about problems with calculating the FAID in 3330 v4.50, but GeeZuZz told me that it is possible to unlock it. so, is there aproblem with it or not?

i'm asking this question bacause i know that in EEprom tools i need to update the FAID after i click the reset sp locks button...

thx again :) :) :)

No problem.

If U use a new flash, it has good calced check values from Nokia.

The problems start if U recalc those values, like after editing the data.

Then the faid no longer works on those specific versions.

"when do i have to update the FAID in my phone?"

Simple answer. The last thing you do before you disconnect the cable, is calcing FAID.
