Flashing/debranding my C905a

[n-arov]

Hello everyone,

I am trying to debrand my SE phone, using this as a guide:
http://www.topsony.com/forum/a2uploa...tml#post107964
I installed all the necessary programs and drivers, created an .xml file (for generic American version), transferred it to phone, tried SE Update Service, no go. Says I already have the newest software.

I tried creating a new .xml file, but this time using Western Europe instead of America. Still, Update Service says my software is new enough. Then I tried going back and creating a generic American .xml and using Update Service to reinstall my OS, but that only reinstalled the old and customized AT&T OS which is what I'm trying to get rid of.

So my questions are:

1) I was sort of reluctant to debrand in the first place, but what is the worst thing that can happen if debranding fails?
2) Is there some other CDA number I can use (instead of America/W. Europe) and still be able to use my phone with my service provider? Perhaps Central or Eastern Europe?

Thanks in advance,
Nathan Arov
