A2-DB3150 Flashing

[thucydides]

I have the C905 and plan on flashing soon. This model isn't even available in America for another several months, but there's "American" FS and Custom Packs for it. I'm just curious if anyone has tried these, and if there's any limitations.

I just want a firmware that is either UK/English, preferably with little or no branding and is stable with all the latest SE features that were delivered in the latest update.

Thanks.

Regards

What does the custom pack do exactly. I've already debranded my phone using the SEUS method. Would applying a custom pack be worthwhile? Would it restore provider-specific settings?

If you've used SEUS to debrand, don't use the custom files! They're only used together with MAIN and FS burned with a2uploader.

Hi, xyn 19.
Every info is very new to me. So if you'd help me to debrand my w760a, I would greatly appreciate it.

First of all, I am using AT&T branded phone right now, and I would like to debrand to Taiwan CDA (1207-3657). I don't know the difference between Hong Kong(1207-7195) which you debranded and this Taiwan(1207-3657). The bottom line is that I want to read Japanese. Some people mentioned on the web that if the phone has Chinese font, then that phone is good for reading Japanese too:).

Anyway, according to your post #76, all I have to download and install are A2uploader, flashdriver, and SEUS. Then make a "customize_upgrade.xml" by copy and past on the #76 and changing "<cda-number>1207-3657</cda-number>".
Then, follow the instraction you provided.

Is my understanding correct?
or, do I need to purchase "custompack w760i 1207-3657 R4A customized Taiwan" from Top Sony Forums? In this case, I have no idea how I should use this files.

Thank you very much

I debranded my ATT w760a to generic firm. So far so good.
But there's only one thing I miss... That is "Mobile Email" comes with ATT firm ware. Because it gives me a free SMS alert from ATT when I receive new email in MSN, hotmail, yahoo mail account. Does anybody know where to get this application?

One more thing, after I debanded I can't send SMS from my phone:(
Is there anybody who has the same problem???

SMS should be setup automatically. You might need to get a new SIM card (free) from AT&T if it's more than 6 months old. I was having problems with dropped calls on my old branded phone. I called 611, they told me I should try a new SIM and they had noted that on my account. I went to an AT&T store and told them about that. They put the new SIM on my account and off I went. The new SIM works in all my AT&T phones. However the dropped call issue is still there, I think it's just their "less than" Verizon network.

Depending on your email account, I tried Yahoo on the debranded, it sets itself up automatically and works great. You can even set the interval it checks for new email. After you enter your yahoo email, a message pops up asking you if you want to download settings, choose yes and it sets up the account on your phone automatically, and it's IMAP! I don't know if you really need the original email client, but if you do, rebrand your phone.
