Anyone know how to debrand w890i?

I have just upgraded firmware via SEUS R1FA035 - Is this different from de-branding?

I have A2uploader

Where are the "MAIN, FS and custom files" I need?

Since debranding means flashing with a "generic" firmware, you don't have to do that. You have the latest firmware for W890. When a new firmware will be released, you can flash it with A2Uploader_full.

but i understood that upgrading via SEUS wouldn't remove/affect branding - which suggests branding uses different area of memory

have i got that wrong?

If you didn't upload a "customize_upgrade.xml" to TPA/preset/custom before updating with SEUS, you allready had debranded firmware.

does that mean that upgrading via SEUS would remove/affect branding?

let's say i had 'vodafone' branded w890i & i upgraded via SEUS - would that re-write the whooooooooooooooooooooooole memory & remove branding?

Yes.SEUS is an on-line flasher. If you have branded firmware and flash with SEUS you'll obtain the last version of the branded firmware. If you have branded firmware and you "trick" SEUS by uploading a generic "customize_upgrade.xml" to TPA/preset/custom, it will flash your phone to the latest "generic" firmware(debrand).
