[Debrand] A2 (Db3150) Tutorial

[tux3]

Hi @ all :D

I come from Germany, and I just packed out my brand new W595!

I was so happy... until there was the ugly blue "o2" Branding....

I searched a little and then found a solution. I have downloaded a2uploader, generated the customize_upgrade.xml and filled in a generic (?) CDA.
Here's the customize_upgrade.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<customization>
<info>
<cda-number>1201-0077</cda-number>
</info>
</customization>

Then pulled battery out and in again, started a2uploader, clicked on filesystem, hold C and connected with PC, and drag customize_upgrade.xml to tpa/preset/custom.

Then I klicked on "Shutdown FS" then "STOP" then "QUIT".

I powered on my handy (cell phone in english) wait a little bit and turned it off. Then started SonyEricssonUpdateService and followed the instructions.

Enjoy :D

First of all, thank you very much for that manual.
I searched in a bunch of forums and it took me at last 4 days to find that forum entry.

I've done it exactly the way you described. and up to now it all worked fine. I am now, at this moment, updating my software on my phone, and it seems to work great. i will edit this post when it's done and working ;)

but first I have one question.
Does it still cause problems using A2uploader when having a master reset as it says in the faq4mobiles.de forum?

Und bitte nach der Anwendung des a2uploader keinen master-reset machen, dies könnte zu Problemen führen.

I got my phone brand new and I really don't want to demolish it now :-P

i used the following code for the customize_upgrade.xml:

<customization>
−
<info>
<cda-number>1201-0116</cda-number>
</info>
</customization>

i've bought my phone @ o2-online_shop with a o2-branding preinstalled, which is really annoying.
Oh ... at least i've forgotten to tell ya where i come from and which blablub i use(d):
i am from germany and i used some central-europe firmware.

EDIT! :

IT WORKED!!! GREAT JOB!!!
THANK YOU VERY MUCH!
i did not let myself confuse by the pop-up in SEUS while updatin':
...reinstall your old software...(it was something like that)...

:)
lovely!

Hi everyone :)

I've just debranded my VFL W910i and it works ok at the moment :D

I only have one problem :confused:

I'm from Greece and the cda that I used is "1201-0138 S-E-EUROPE GENERIC S-E-EUROPE"
but this doesn't support Greek :(

Does any know which cda I have to use so that it can support Greek :cool:

Thanks in advance :)

Just debranded my Vodafone branded W595. It was soooo annoying, now is so much better!
I used this .xml file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<customization>
  <info>
    <cda-number>1201-0083</cda-number>
    <language-variant-name>ADRIATIC</language-variant-name>
  </info>
</customization>

ela re patrida! AEKara ole! :)
I see that you are from Greece ;)

Does this cda support Greek?

Weeeeee!!!!

Never mind 1201-0083 ADRIATIC worked ok :D

now I have Greek language :rolleyes:

Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you...!!!

When I attempt to upgrade using the Sony Update service
it tells me I've already updated to the latest software, and does not
allow me the option to install the firmware regardless....

Any suggestions?
