[Debrand] A2 (Db3150) Tutorial

[jamieh91]

did you turn on the phone after uploading the file?
did you upload the customize_upgrade.xml to /tpa/preset/custom/?

Yeah I uploaded it to the right file and turned it on after uploading but it still didn't work

try a different cda

[jamieh91]

i've already tried about 4 and none of them work!:confused:

[bboyzahid]

your phone is c905 correct?
c905 debranding using this method may not work because it is db3120 i think.

sorry, if i had c905 i would be glad to help

[jamieh91]

I just thought it might not be Db3150 myself too! ah well i can live with orange branding for a wee bit longer! Thanks for your help bboyzahid! :)

A2uploader supports cid49,51,52 semc a2 phones (db3150,db3210), so it should work.
Don't forget to switch on and off your phone after uploading "customize_upgrade.xml".

I had tried different area codes in slightly different xml files, som has more info rows like model, phone name, CDA rev? do I need info there?

I see a white screen said "waiting" and a statusbar when starting the phone after uploading, so I must manage to change something, but always same result in SEUS - you already got latest revison..

One version
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<customization>
<info>
<model>G502</model>
<phone-name>G502</phone-name>
<cda-number>1209-4769</cda-number>
<language-variant-name>NORDIC</language-variant-name>
</info>
</customization>

Another one
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<customization>
<info>
<cda-number>1209-4769</cda-number>
<cda-revision>???</cda-revision>
<created-by>bboyzahid</created-by>
</info>
</customization>

Tried
1209-4769 Nordic
1209-4784 Central Europe
1209-4774 Western Europe
1209-4778 America

well i dont know why this "Already up-to-date" problems keep coming but i think its possibly for the following reasons:

1. Your phone is already up-to-date (your software version is latest)
2. You have not successfully changed your CDA
3. Sony has done something to block this CDA trick in new firmwares or models
