More information about debranding 3 phones

Once you have debranded your 3-mobile phone you may have a few issues:

When debranding a 3-mobile phone if you still want to use a 3-mobile USIM in the phone and want to access their features, such as downloads, msn, etc, you'll have to have some Java certificates (I think, correct me if I'm wrong). It think the certificates are called "Authority 5" and "Authority 6". With these certs you'll be able to download games and applications from the 3-mobile wap site via your phone. I don't know where to get these certificates from and also don't know how to upload them, so if anyone knows, it would be much appreciated if you could tell us or point me to somewhere where it says how to :)

The sms delivery report options will not be present. To fix this problem I think you'll either have to edit the GDFS or edit the USIM. Again, if anyone has more info on this it would be very useful :)

The sms delivery report options ... it is not in the gdfs... it is sms_cust.xml in FS/tpa/preset/default and in default.xml same folder... and what you say abou debranding 3 phone or 3g phone? read your post... and corect it if you tiped badly... use edit..

Ok, I think this is why delivery reports don't appear on debranded Three phones: supposedly delivery reports are disabled on USIM cards from Three, and that Three's firmware is the only thing that makes delivery reports possible. I think that Three has changed some setting in the GDFS, making the option disappear with generic firmwares?

Could someone analyse the default messaging settings in 3-mobile branded firmware and see if it would be possible to create some kind of patch?

no... wrong again... delivery reports apear on debranded phones... eg: k310 k510 w300 k750 w800 and w810... all debranded and flashed with generic firms... deliveri reports active and working fine... no modif on gdfs... P.S. delivery reports depend on the operator too... so you may try to contact your local network provider...

Really? Ok. Thanks for your help again :) What lead me to say that was the fact that many people who had "3" branded phones had delivery reports, then once they had debranded they were gone (gone as in the option to enable delivery reports was no longer there, along with other SMS options). I got my details from lots of searching around and what lead me to my conclusion was this link:
