Need help rebranding my w760i

[mingkee]

you just need to edit Customize.xml, no need to re-brand
my TM506 has been successfully debranded with Cin Bell fw, but ALL T-Mobile settings are still intact, esp wireless village settings

and ATT custom file. They work great, I have tried. Cheers.

I will be getting a Rogers branded w760a and am considering debranding it. However in case things go wrong (or if I need to get it repaired by SE), I'd like the option of re-branding it. Do I need to get a hold of Rogers branded Main and FS Firmware files? Or can I change the CDA back to the Rogers one, then use SEUS to reflash my phone?

Can't say about Rogers. But re-branding back to AT&T's CDA does NOT work with SEUS, had to use A2uploader with AT&T's MAIN, FS, and custom files. I see Roger's FS, and custom files, but not MAIN on this site. Post back if you find them. I believe the paid services have them.

use a gernic then the Roger's FS and custom pack

Can you mix Main and FS files from different firmware revisions? For example, I found W760_R3DA028_FS_ROGERS_RED52 but there is no generic Main avail, only China. Also if I want to debrand, are most people using W760_R3EA037_MAIN_GENERIC_DE_RED52 and W760_R3EA037_FS_RUSSIA_RED52 because they are the latest firmware revisions? I think a Russia FS is okay to use because one of the languages is English. I have many many more questions are this but I think this will get the ball rolling :)

if u want to debrand it just use gernic 4 both were do u live now if its the uk for the fs /gernic or europe2 will do

Rebrand: Someone suggested using a generic MAIN + Roger's FS + Roger's custom. MAIN and FS should(must?) be the same CDA. Then use SEUS to update whatever MAIN/FS you have used to the latest Roger's version. You are successful if you can use SEUS to update, otherwise, your choice of MAIN and FS combo are probly no good.

Debrand: Avoid using A2uploader to upload MAIN and FS if you can, see this post and it's follow ups. Use CDA 1201-0095. (I can't edit that post. Otherwise I'd change the CDA's there.)

(The moderators here have a tendency to edit your posts often, like my link above was pointing to a different post which contains more detailed instructions particular to your case and the W760a. I'm not gonna change the link back, nor want to create a scene. If you still want to see my original link, just search for my posts.)

Thank you so much for your tips xyn19! I agree there is so much information and misinformation out there on this. I remember learning all this stuff for my DB2010 phone, then DB2020, and now I have to re-learn everything for A2! Luckily you have a low post count so I hopefully I can catch up easily. :)

For debranding, you say do NOT use A2uploader -- but I thought that is the only free flashing program for A2 out there? If you could tell me the post number I should look up, I assume you are referring to the thread "A2-DB3150 Flashing".

[xyn19]

It's post #76 in that forum. Also, if you have installed SEUS (most people would), you don't need to install the flash driver(for A2uploader), because it is already included in SEUS. If you're like me, I don't like to do additional installs on my laptop. Report back how it goes. :)
