    Debranding w880i

    Hi guys,
    I live in Australia. Have recently purchased a w880i, which was branded and locked to Vodafone. I had the phone unlocked, so now I can use it with Telstra, but it still has all the Vodafone screens, menu options etc.
    Unluckily, nobody in Australia can debrand phones. I am tech savvy enough to do it myself; as far as I can tell, I will need XS++, two firmware files and the data cable that came with the phone. Is this correct?
    Also, which two firmware files should I use? I don't care whether it's the newest version, just as long as it's generic and works in Australia.
    Cheers.

    Update: I just worked out how to check my Software info, I currently have:

    R1JC002
    prgCXC1250641_VODAFONE_AI R1JC002

    EROM: R3A016
    prgCXC1250614_EROM_DB2020_AI_FOTA_SIMLOCK_FLAFLA_S IBLEY_SEMCUSB

    Update2: I'm considering installing W880_R8BA024_MAIN_GENERIC_AI_RED52, does that sound about right? Are all the different firmware distributions just language related or will I not be able to get coverage from AU carriers with this MAIN_GENERIC package?

    All done, successfully debranded to generic AU.
    The internet connectivity button is very easy to bump and I get charged each time it attempts a connection, is there anything I can do about that other than just be careful? It's in all the menus too.
