I must say good job!

I'm a first timer, but after weeks of reading and memorizing the steps to flashing (read countless tutorials and guides on hofo, se-ense, topsony, etc)

I flashed my Rogers branded to generic firmware! AND used the Autopatcher with setools and now I have sucessfully debranded and unlocked my phone.

Well it says it is unlocked through the settings, havent actually tried with a foreign sim card yet.

To all of you who have problems, DONT RUSH THINGS, go over all the steps carefully, DONT PANIC.

For both the flashing and patching process I read multiple tutorials because as great as ONE tutorial is sometimes the author misses out on something, so try and cross reference the steps with a tutorial by another author.

Remember each step is important, I know it maybe annoying such as taking out the battery,sim,memory card etc each time, but it is neccessary!

Backup files, have programs neatly saved and installed onto a folder you will remember. have all the cables etc ready.

Believe me, this was my first time in doing anything technical with a phone, I was intimidated.

If for any reason that it is not working for you, that means you are missing out on a step, or you are not using the right phone. Unless by some random occurence your existing stuff is glitched/corrupted.
