New and need help :(

Hey I'm a new member, but this is the best forum I can find which will give me the best help *hopefully*

Anyways, I have a Sony Ericsson K800i, and it was on Vodafone. I went there and they unlocked it fine to now I can put my 02 sim card in... The trouble is that, it still had like, the vodafone things on it. (Vodafone Live tools, the settings are all Vodaphone, welcome screen etc)

I was wondering is there a way to get these off? I've never had to do this myself and I have no clue where to start? I've been told it's de-branding, but I'm not sure.

Will anyone be so kind as to explain this to me :p

Thank you x

For start read this tut XS++ 3.1 Guide-Flashing, Customizing, Recovering - Top Sony Forums and connect your phone with XS++.After that you will find log file from XS++ - post him here without IMEI number and than will see. And Yes you need to debrand phone.

Ahh.... Does it cost a lot to de-brand it?

You can do that for free if you want

Ooooo, sounds hard though lol

God I'm so behind in the times of technology

I have a question, when I tried to back up the GDFS, is keeps saying this:

23:20:38| Sorry, your phone is NOT SUPPORTED
23:20:38| Error: Failed to send CSLoader!
23:20:38| FSX Shutdown!
23:20:40| Disconnected... Unplug the phone

Anyone know why?

Post log from XS++ here without IMEI number, but I think you have CID53 phone

This is all that popped up until the point that it didn't work

Yes you have CID53,so you can't make backup of GDFS but you still can flash with Flashing with jdflasher - Top Sony Forums

Oh this is so hard :(

For start just read carefully that tutorial and connect phone with jdflasher and jump in - than press "..." on the left side in jdflasher until you see massage Are you sure YES-NO press yes and disconnect phone. This is just to feel jdflasher.

I didn't want to make another topic... But I wanted to ask another question;

For some reason, it might be in my mind but, after I messed with it and tried that de-branding thing, i got up to the bcking up the things I needed to back up... But it failed and I tried another couple of times but they all failed because I had to upgrade it to 52... when I was on 53... Anyways, my phone has been acting weird.... ?
Like, when I wanted to plug it into the pc to transfer files... It get a white screen and takes a while to actually go onto the file transer screen... And when I take the cable out, using the safe removal USB thing too, the screen goes while again and takes a while to go back to my stand by screen.

Also, I was texting earlier, and it went to a white screen again and then went to the text again... The rest of the phone works perfectly after that, although it's a little slow to text... but that's been since I got it...

Anyone know what I've done to my phone? It's a K800i.

yeah
you must flashing your phone with jd flasher + far manager
because your cid is 53

Thats not what I've just asked....
