Debranding W995 Optus
Hi there,
I live in Malaysia and I was wondering, which FS and MAIN file should I use to debrand my W995 Optus?
Would the files I need are:
W995_R1EA028_MAIN_GENERIC_HI_RED53
W995_R1EA028_FS_C-ASIA_RED53
Also do I need to make CDA file with CDA file maker? I heard that I could use C902 MAIN GENERIC as the customize_upgrade.xml. Is this possible?
One off topic question: Why my download allowance is still at 99.68MB? It's been 2 days now.

Re: Debranding W995 Optus
Use A2uploader from here: a2uploader and CID53? - Top Sony Forums and these files:
W995_R1EA028_MAIN_GENERIC_HI_RED53
W995_R1EA028_FS_APAC-ANZ_RED53
C905_1209-4765_R7A_GENERIC_APAC-ANZ (no problem with C905 custpack, because W995 use same)

Re: Debranding W995 Optus
Ok, but I still have few questions:
1. I checked the software version in my w995 and it says R1FA035. Is it ok to use the R1EA028 version?
2. Whats the difference between W995_R1EA028_FS_APAC-ANZ_RED53 and C-ASIA one?
3. So basically no need for customize_upgrade.xml? Coz I couldn't make one since they don't have the cda list for model w995 in CDA file maker v2.0.
I'm just asking to prevent any errors. Thanks.

1. It's ok.
2. Malay => MS
APAC-ANZ = en - nl - fr - de - ms - id - tl - th - vi - zs
In C-ASIA = en - ar - az - fa - kk - ru - tr - uk ( haven't MS )
3. No need from cda file maker, just read my previous post!

Re: Debranding W995 Optus
Alright thanks. So all I need to do is Add the FS and MAIN files and then the C905 files for misc into the a2uploader? No need to rename the files to w995?

The name is not important!
Just download and use these files:
W995_R1EA028_MAIN_GENERIC_HI_RED53
W995_R1EA028_FS_APAC-ANZ_RED53
C905_1209-4765_R7A_GENERIC_APAC-ANZ

Re: Debranding W995 Optus
Ok and one last thing, do I have to upload the C905 files as misc files like in here:

Re: Debranding W995 Optus
Ok thank you so much. Do I need to update my phone with SEUS after flashing?
Can I remove my M2 memory card while flashing/updating so that I don't need to make any back-up?

Put this "customize_upgrade.xml"(unzipped) to TPA/preset/custom with A2Uploader_CID53.

Turn the phone on and off. Update with SEUS. You'll get R1HA036.

Is that the only thing that I need to do? No need for C905 CustPack, R1EA028 MAIN ENERIC and R1EA028 FS?

Re: Debranding W995 Optus
Yes. For this procedure, you don't need those files.

It's recommended to remove memory and SIM card before flashing.

No, you wrong!
Only Phone memory will be erased ( not SIM and Memory Stick ).

Did you installed USB flash driver by double clicking "ggsetup" ? Do you use A2Uploader_CID53?
-
Re: Debranding W995 Optus
I did, it's ok now. I managed to do it. Debranded my phone, and my stuff is still inside my memory. Do I need to update my phone? I used senter's option.

First you must install SEUS and SEMC USB driver will be installed automatically!
@hyperion17 I flashed/updated my phone many times, but never affected anything in the SIM or Memory stick (only Phone memory).

Now you must update your phone via SEUS and get lastest version: R1HA036 (it's available for APAC-ANZ).

@senter, me too I flashed my phones many times and I never removed SIM, or memory card. I only said "it's recommended".
@ummah92, yes if you want a version newer than R3EA028 ;)

What happen if I cancel the update due to slow connection? Will my phone be alright?

No problem. Disconnect USB cable and turn on your phone.
-
Re: Debranding W995 Optus
Thanks so much, you guys are the best! Should I update my phone with full battery? Also where can I find the accoustic or cam drive for w995? I could't find it on topsony, it only shows DB20XX. I don't know which one.

If he cancel the update in the middle of the process, I don't think the phone will turn on. In this case, he must try doing the update process again (from the beggining) or flash the phone with A2Uploader.

No I mean before the SEUS update my phone it has to download the software first. I'm using my Uni's wifi connection, which is slow as hell. I'm just wondering if I could cancel if the download doesn't move at all. Like just now it says downloading fail. I'm guessing because of my phone's battery. It's not full.

Re: Debranding W995 Optus
If you cancel only the download the phone should work.

Re: Debranding W995 Optus
Can't I just flash my phone with R1FA035 MAIN GENERIC rather than updating it? Or is it totally different thing?
I'm having a problem. I get software download failed every ~5min. Is it because of internet connection? Does this also happens during updating process?

No, does not depend on it.
SEUS first download the software and when is already downloaded -> begin to install in the phone.

Search for a guy named @dahliana ;) Ask him to send you the folder called "Update Service/db/13740270/blob_fs". Replace your "blob_fs" with this one and SEUS will skip the download process.
