@new2this: I suggest you just debrand your phone... it's EXTREMELY easy, but time consuming. All you have to do is Get XS++, a MAIN, FS. Then, Open XS++ and connect your phone. Then go to Flash. Check Flash Firmware Main, FS, and Customize File System. Brose for all the files you need, and in the Customize one, select one nearest where you live. Then click Start Flash. Wait about 2-7 hours and you have a debranded phone. Or, you can do it via FAR.
