New and need help :(

[LanaBanana]

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

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

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

[LanaBanana]

Oh this is so hard :(
