Dealer unlocking but not debranding

[bouloss]

Hi , I just got a new W580 and sent it to the dealer to unlock it for me.
He said he cant debrand it . I will attempt to do it.
My question , can I add my own logo animation splash screen.
What video format is it?

Thanks

I believe the startup screens are .gif, you would then have to just name it "STARTUP_IMAGE_SEMC" without any extension. The shutdown screen is the same just named "SHUTDOWN_IMAGE_SEMC" and they would go into /fs/tpa/preset/system/settings

why did you tell him to debrand the phone?
What is your phone service?

I think you can add your own logo

which one? logo at start screen?

splash- not ".gif", only ".png"
start up- only ".gif"
shutdown- only ".gif"

Be careful. It's possible that the shop patch unlocked your phone. If that's so, your phone will be locked after debranding it. Better ask him..

Its a bit funnny, the shop is a rogers dealer. I am with fido.
The owner is a friend of mine and he does it for free. For some reason he said its illegal for him to debrand regoers phones since he work for them , but he can unlock.
I will try debranding it tonight. for the first time ever hacking a phone.

Better confirm before flashing. If its a patch unlocked phone, chances are there that it may get locked while updating or flashing.

How to see its a patch unlocked phone?
Is there any way to check that before flashing?
