Debranding X10

I know the phone is not rooted yet and people are currently working on this & also Di Vinci are working on a package
However, does anyone know how to debrand the phone without rooting the phone?
I have read about the seus blob fs method on a few forums? Has anyone else tryed this? Is this just a case of replacing a few files on SEUS?
Thanks

Just debranded my handset

You gonna tell how??

My phone was not simlocked in the first place. Vodafone UK don't simlock their phones.

Hi! C987
Which files you has replaced in blob_fs?

Its all of them. However, its not 100% straight forward.
Ill upload a guide and files shortly.

Did this solve the problem of vodafone handsets not being able to connect to SE sync and are you now running the updated version? i'. still on 1.4

Have you tried this yourself and if so, does it actually work?

Also I'd be grateful if someone could explain to me the benefits of de-branding my handset.

yess no one answered my question so i did the update myself, it worked on my dutch x10i and now i got the R1FA016 build instead of the 014 build. and i can confirm simlock will not be removed by debranding (expected this kinda but you never knew )

so i'm coming back to Android from HD2 Win Mob.
I have a trade on offer, for an x10 on orange and i am with tmob hd2. If this unlock works can anyone tell me can i use it on tmobile? if not who do i goto or pay to enable me to use this x10 on tmob?
Any info will be a help except, NO you cannot use it on tmobile.
Thanks..

MT3G 1.6 and upgrade to 2.1

Hi,everybody!
Need help:
I have MT3g T-Mobile USA unlocked.Cupcake 1.6 installed.Not Rooted!
I want to upgrade to RUU_Sapphire_T-Mobile_US_2.10.531.3_release_signed_NoDriver
But,if I upgrade the software,will the phone be locked again?OR Sim-locked?
thank You!

Sim lock has nothing with the software....
You can safely update without loosing your "sim-lock" status.

Thank You,sir!
But it might lock the system,i think!
Or not?Sorry, i am not so familiar with Android.Only 3 weeks

Vodafone UK firmware

I'm hoping to receive my SGS2 from Vodafone UK tomorrow.
I know they will have added their own bloatware on it so want to flash an original firmware or custom ROM straight away.
How can I get an image of the Voda firmware so that I can flash it back should I need to return the phone?

Look over in the dev forum for the complete guide to de-branding and re-branding. You'll have to wait until a Vodafone ROM shows up online but that'll be a matter of days I'm sure.

As far as I know vodafone don't put any bloatware on their handsets.

No bloatware the original sgs was full of vodafone crap

Excepting similar tweaks as per o2, startup logo and settings limited to vodafone. Hopefully it's in the post today so should be able to see the results tonight.
As for being able to restore to Vodafone FW, nothing at the moment, but once an update is out it will be fine, or wait for someone to try and extract it.

No Vodafone startup logo or settings, just a hand-full of apps expected much worse to be honest!

I had the original SGS from vodafone.co.uk and it no crap on it at all. Totally unbranded.

Has the UK Vodafone firmware been found yet? Looking for a copy for warranty/repair reasons.

You wont find it its not in the wild so to speak you have to save it or try .

KitKat on Samsung Galaxy Light (T-Mobile Version)

So I've been getting kind of angry that T-Mobile hasn't updated the phone to KitKat and I tried something on my own. Flashing the MetroPCS KitKat software version on my device via Odin. Guess what? It worked. The only thing was that after it updated all the apps, it installed some MetroPCS bloatware. I don't mind that but this is awesome that I was actually able to install the SGH-T399N software on the SGH-T399. Try it for yourself and let me know how it went for you.

Yeah I'm pretty sure that would brick my phone since that's for the SGH-T399N. I have the SGH-T399. Oh and BTW I know they are both pretty much the same, but if I were to flash that, it would probably screw up.

I bet you can port KK to this if you have a stock rom and metro's stock rom with Kitchen.
I have a stock rom zip here:https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347774930
there's a metro KK stock rom zip you can google it.
I think there's a storage mount file you need for kitchen, I wrote one if you need it just ask (i have it in my linux partition, which I'm not on now).
Oh and always have a backup.

If you don't see enough development for this phone now and don't want to wait, then don't buy it. Don't flash something not made for your phone unless you have a backup.
Other than that the phone has a well balanced spec sheet for the price.

change ROM to non branded rom

Hi, can someone share some light on how and what I need to change my ROM on my phone.
It's currently on three UK ROM with its three branding and I want to use a standard ROM without all of this branding.
But I don't want to upset Knox or bugger warranty up if this is possible.
Thank you

Have you looked inside the s10+ guides and development forum? There should be a 975F section there to help you.
