    W880i vodafone brick, help!

    Im trying to debrand my w880i but unfortunately i used the wrong firmware, now when i start up the fone it will give a black screen and vibrate once. i managed to back up my gdfs file and write it again using xs++, but still it will give me black screen. What will i do?
    maybe if i flash it again with this two files my fone will be revived. please help me guys.

    With this files you maintain the Vodafone brand! For DEBRAND you must use a generic firmware and FS with the language that you need.
    A full flash should be resolve you problem.

    SE tool is definitely not easier for beginners. XS++ is quite self-explanatory whereas beginners may get confused about where to put the files and which buttons to press in SE Tool.

    Well, that's another point. But SE Tool might not work out sometimes either ;)

    Anyways, we're getting off topic, let's finish this.
