[Q] Unlocking and Debranding

Hi All,
I just have a few quick questions about the legend, forgive me if they are a bit silly as i dont have a legend (yet)
The reason im posting here is because i recently ordered my Legend over the internet except there has been a delay in shipping. Basicly I have been told that my phone is part of a brand new batch that just got imported to Australia, these phones are locked to VodaPhone and the website i got it from is waiting for vodaphone to register these phones on there website for them to get the unlock code to put into the phones. They have said they are happy to ship it now its just it wont be unlocked.
So my question if i debrand my phone, will that also unlock the phone to be used with any network? im currently with 3 mobile
I was going to follow this guide here in these forums, I cant post the link cause im only a jr forums member but if u look in the Legend forums for [HOWTO] debrand your Legend im sure you will find it
Also if this doesnt unlock the phone is there another way to unlock the phone? I was thinking maybe rooting it and putting a Froyo ROM on it but i still wasnt sure if this would allow me to use my 3 sim in it.
All of the above i was planing to do anyway, as im sure everyone is im still waiting for the office 2.2 rom from HTC
Thanks in advanced for you help!
this forums has been very usefull and conviced me to get the phone in the first place

firmware problem

i have a galaxy s which i flashed to remove t-moble branding, now not sure why but i can't get wifi working so want to go back to stock firmware. the problem is which is the correct version for me.
my phone is galaxy s gt-i9000 and was originally locked to to t-mobile UK. i'm looking on the stock firmware and odin guide but i haven't got a clue which one is suitable. i've also got a message in kies saying that 'your device does not support software upgrading via kies'.
please can someone advise me how to get the phone working correctly again? don't care if i have to go back to t-mobile branding as look as it works with wifi.

Hi Rincal...
first question.. did you have your galaxys unlocked to make it sim free by a shop or market seller.. if you havent.. this will cause problems, so make sure you get that done.. its about £15.
2nd) The latest stock firmware is 2.3.6.. the xda team have Eu stock ROM threads.. look in "development", but if you cant find it.. use this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1431596 - although i think there will be a newer version out now.. in the PIT folder, use PIT-512.
Here is a full abc flash guide
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1139050
Follow it to the letter, this is how I learned.. even though Ive had no problems, you flash your sgs rom at your own risk.. make sure you read it through first before you flash anything and always backup your data 1st.
Please note: This is not my work.. please thank and respect the xda teams named in the threads.
If anyone reading this thread can give better guides or links, please point the way
Good luck

hi NightOrchid
i used a market app called galaxy s unlock to unlock it myself. it was working find after that, the problems started after rooting and flashing.
i'll try your suggestions and let you know the outcome. i've already tried flashing with a few firmwares but always have the wifi problems. should say that apart from wifi and kies the rest of the phone seems to work ok with other firmwares.

1. Flash CWM for 9100.
2. In cwm flash root.
3. Flash Gapps package of your choice.
You'll likely need a VPN connection to actually log in / create a Google account. Otherwise it'll seem like there's no connection.

Does anyone know the timeline for 6.0 for Hong Kong? It seems like it's everywhere else but HK.
