Hi. I've just bought a W595 branded to 3 in Australia. I just need some pointers as to what FS I should choose.
The MAIN was fine - W595_R3DA026_MAIN_GENERIC_LD_RED52.rar
The Custom files were fairly straightforward (assuming you choose the latest) - W595_1214-6875_R4A_3_Australia
But the FS choice isn't clear. There's no Australia or Generic. Is W595_R3DA026_FS_HUTCH-WORLD_RED52.rar a "world" or "generic" version or is it only for Hutchison branded phones?
Next closest could be Western Europe?
Any suggestions would be great.
I have SE W595s in Orange in Poland. I'd like to install "clean" software. What MAIN, FS and custpack should I choose? Is it possible to flash this phone? Thx in advance
Yes,it's possible to debrand this phone.In first post you will find flash drivers and prog for that,but first just install drivers and connect phone with A2UPLOADER nad post log here without IMEI number and than will see.And 1 more thing - if you have antivirus - disable ,because if you don't disable AV don't let you to download(but there isn't any virus)
Ok so here is the log:
PHONE STATE: "RETAIL"
FLASH CID: 0052
OTP LOCKED:1 CID:52 PAF:1 CERT:RED
Model:W595s
MAPP CXC article: R3DA029 prg12131543_ORANGE_LT
MAPP CXC version: R3DA029
Language Package:ORANGE-SIGN
CDA article: 1201-0116
CDA version:
Default article: 1213-1548
Default version: R3DA029
Network LOCKED
Operator: 260-03

Use this 3 files for debranding:
MAIN: W595_R3DA026_MAIN_GENERIC_LD_RED52
FS: W595_R3DA026_FS_CENTRAL-EUROPE_RED52 and
CUSTPACK: K850i_1201-0116_R11A_GENERIC_CENTRAL-EUROPE (YES you can use this custpack for K850 in your phone)
SeaMonkey: Thanks a lot!! It worked just great :D
It's not necessary to disable your anti-virus software entirely. Just disable the heuristic option on it
I have c702 from o2 uk.Can i change language for polish and keep o2 settings and branding?
What combination of files should i use?
Example:
C702_R3BA035_FS_CENTRAL-EUROPE_RED52
C702_R3BA035_MAIN_GENERIC_NG_RED52
C702_1208-6126_R5A_O2_United_Kingdom
Can i use combination like this?
Fs file is responsible for language section?
Main file for phone software?
Cust pack for 02 settings and branding?
Can i mix central europefs with english custpack?
If someone can answare or explain what this file are responsible for and what cmobination are allowed.
Thanks
hello i cant seem to downlod the firmwares... i get a "restrcited acess" thing and i need to pay or something.. isnt this free???
Hello,
When i try to install/start the a2 uploader i get an error saying you donot have permission to access the item.
could anyone advise wht needs to be done.
Thanks in advance.
yes u need to disablie ur anti virous and re download it and try again
A quick question if anyone would be so kind :)
If my log is similar to below, what does the 'Network LOCKED' part mean? My phone has been unlocked!?
I tried to flash it last night with FS and MAIN and it failed, would it being locked stop the flash or is there something else wrong?
I need to add a language and debrand ASAP :mad:
TIA :cool:

Thanks for the quick reply.
Any ideas why it could have failed to flash then? Or is that like asking how long a piece of string is :o
would need to see ur log from when u tryed to flash it with out imei nos
Ok thanks, will give it another go tonight.
Cheers philzfog, checked the log properly last night and realised I was trying to flash with the wrong FS and MAIN. Tried again with the right one and it worked all fine :cool:
i also am receiving this error. tried disabling antivirus software but that hasnt worked. i am using AVG 8.0. i am clicking exit on the user tray icon. when i open up control panel security centre it says that the anti-malware isnt actually disabledQuote:

Don't know about AVG but in BitDefender which I run I had to turn off the antivirus real-time protection, see pic. Only with this switched off would it extract from the .rar file.
Have a play around with the settings, my guess is you haven't found the right button yet.

Hey guys, i'm new to this site and new to debranding, unlocking phones in general. So please keep in mind i'm a big fat newbie :o
I got my hands on a brand new w595 today. Got it cheap coz it was branded and locked to 3 (sweden). I need to get it unlocked and debranded. I dont even have a prepaid 3-simcard. Whats the first step? Should i get it unlocked or debranded first?
/#LOUDmouth#
That doesn't matter, because unlock is permanent. Debrand it for free using this tutorial:
A2-DB3150 Flashing - Top Sony Forums. The cheapest way to unlock it is here:
Top Sony - Buy Ultimate Unlocker LOGs
Thanks for the quick reply. Can i do these things without a simcard inserted or with a "incorrect" simcard?
/#LOUDmouth#
Yes, you do.
Help!!!! I must be stupid. I can't find the download section for the MAIN and FS file. My phone is a w760a. Where are these MAIN and FS files?? Thanks :-o
immun0 - i just successfully debranded a W760a *and* have it updated to the latest firmware with SEUS. In addition, I have also successfully rebranded it to what it was before.
I'm newbie, and I have found (mis)information and (mis)instructions scattered all over the place, making *quality* debrand/rebrand very challenging.
For debranding, picking the right combination of MAIN and FS and custom file is critical, otherwise you won't be able to update it with SEUS when future new firmware comes out before made available on a site like this, *if* at all. SE seems to be pretty good at updating firmwares (unlike Samsung which I have ditched).
For rebranding, above procedure with SEUS does NOT work at all. My W760a's original CDA is 1212-6828, Rev. R3CC005. I had to download those particular MAIN/FS pair and ATT's custom file for rebrand.
In summary, for debrand, I used a2uploader to change to a generic ("customized") CDA, then SEUS to update the firmware.
For rebrand, I flashed everything with a2uploader.
I have a ton of details but I'm too tired to type everything up right now. Ask and I'll reply. Cheers.
I just got a 760a myself. Do I need custom files, or just the main and FS? And which files did you use? You just did it, so I assume you used the latest.Quote:

Hi xyn19. Thank you so much for reply. I've spent many hours already trying to debrand without success. I hope that you can help me. Can you tell me what MAIN and FS did you use? I've made a subscription so I should be able to access the download section soon. Are you in USA too? I'm in California and don't know if region matters with file selection. Did you change the CDA according to the instructions of this post? I tried to drag and drop my customized xml to the tpa/preset/custom but it won't stick.... Any help would be great. Thanks.
Open this:
in notepad.Code:<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<customization>
<info>
<cda-number>1201-0095</cda-number>
</info>
</customization>
Save it as "customize_upgrade.xml". Upload it to TPA/preset/custom. Update with SEUS. You should have the latest "generic america" firmware.
what i open a2uploader.rar put a2uploader.exe in my C:\a2uploader
Symantec-Antivirus sais is the virus???
Hey I know what you're going through, can be frustrating. My W760a is also a US version. In my experiment, I used customized Hong Kong (1207-7195), because I wanted to see how it supports the various Chinese languages (it turned out surprisingly well, perfect in fact, another thread..). Depending on what languages you like, if it is just for the Americas, try the customized latin america(1208-4014)/southern cone(1207-5533) CDAs, it has cf,en,pb,xl languages. You can see the other CDAs from Top Sony Forums
Here's an easier way (use a2uploader to write customize_upgrade.xml only, and use SEUS to flash), follow exactly, let me know if there's a problem:):
1) get and install a2uploader and flash driver A2-DB3150 Flashing - Top Sony Forums, get and install SEUS from Sony Ericsson - Support - Software - W760a - Update Service
2) create following customize_upgrade.xml on your PC with correct CDA
3) Connect USB cable to PC (not phone)Code:<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<customization>
<info>
<cda-number>0000-0000</cda-number>
</info>
</customization>
4) Fully charge battery. Pull phone battery out, wait for 3+ seconds, put it back in
5) Start a2uploader, click on FileSystem Tool
6) Hold down "5" key on phone, then plug in USB cable
7) Wait for a2uploader to display some info about your phone in the text box to the left, then release "5" key.
8) In a2uploader, double click on tpa, preset, custom, to go to that folder
9) Drag and drop your customize_upgrade.xml to the /tpa/preset/custom/ folder, you should see that file in there if copied correctly
10) Click on FS Shutdown, or something like that
11) Disconnect USB from phone (not necessarily from PC)
12) Take phone battery out, wait for 3+ seconds, then put it back in
13) Turn ON phone, wait until you reach phone's main screen. Turn it OFF.
14) Start SEUS and follow the directions from there, long process, may take 20 min to a few hours, depending on your download speed. (require internet connection of course)
15) Now you have the latest firmware from SE! and you can continue to use SEUS in the future!
16) Enter settings for your service provider, and some necessary tweaks to make other things work (e.g. streaming ATT's video from http://home)
Good luck. Post back questions and results, cheers. ;)
Please allow a very silly question... do I add the files before connecting the phone (holding c button) or after? I'm a newbie so pls don't start laughing at me :p
Hm...I add the files...I press flash and then connect the phone holding c button...correct?
Also...you say...
6. After flashing shutdown phone, remove batery and insert it back.
Should it be ON during flashing??
Thanks Xyn.
So say for a USA type phone I could use your method to upload a self created "blank/generic" custom file, which will then trigger SEUS to upload to the phone the latest generic USA software? What CDA should I use for North America? I see the ATT/USA one in the downloads section, but is that the customized att one I would need to brand the phone to ATT from generic?
I only really need English on there, otherwise I just need it to be generic and upgradeable through SEUS without all the stupid ATT limitations.
I dont have a data plan with them, but would I be able to set it to use a private in home 3g network? Is there even such a thing? I have seen new routers have 3g in them... Would I still be able to use data through att on a generic phone in the future?
Otherwise, could I use the built in GPS? I saw a few places use preloaded maps to the memory stick and I thought I would try that as well.
I have Enterprise Mcafee installed on this PC with latest definition files, and it's not reported as a virus. From what I have read, this is a false detection, you need to exclude it from Norton. Have you the latest virus definition files?
1) Add files BEFORE connecting phone.
2) Add files, click Flash, hold either the C or the 5 button depending your phone model.
Cheers.
