OK this looks great so far. i changed my theme from the unattractive Rogers one. im now able to use my songs as ringtones, and im able to connect to the internet!! this is amazing. To get it to work i had to chose Baltic as my region instead of America(where i live). To get my internet to work i went to sony ericsson site and had them sent me my internet settings which was a breeze. youtube works as well without problems. Thank you LCARSD for support and guiding. 5/5!
thanks for the vid (and the site also) been trying to debrand my w995 since i got it and this is the first tutorial that's worked for me! 1 million thanks i can't tell you how much i appreciate your efforts!
I found my personal solution ;))))) I googled a bit in israelians forums and found the answer! I needed to download a Hebrew language pack and now it works like a charm! fully debranded :]]] and of course with working flash menu :)))))) THANKS YOU SO MUCH for your help!!!!! just awsome ;)
@Ripthescript I had the same problem before, make sure you use the old SE USB cable (which was provided with the phone) , it wouldn't connect with the new one
at last i done it to my w995. thnks man for this tutorial. theres a little bit difference in w995, you have to use FAR with SEPF2 instead of A2uploader :)
Hi, great tutorial! Just one thing. Your website has this sentence for phase 3: "It might report that your phone already has the latest firmware. That doesn't matter, just make it flash the phone anyway. " How do you make SEUS "flash the phone anyway"? It won't do anything to my C905, saying "Your phone already has the latest available software installed."
yea... perfect! everythin is clear and works PERFECT! now a last question... Ive got another W760 with the original manufacture files ! my question is is it possible to copy them and put the in my Branded W760 meaning to have back the standard settings (original provider) without flash and all the staff? * I dont want to do it... but a branded phone loses the guarantee right? * so just in case I wanted to ask if it is possible ;) THX FOR UR GREAT HELP!!
Ive made everything in the tutorial! when I reach Phase 3 and Connect to SEUS it dont find any new Upgrades.. "your phone already has the latest available software installed."
it detected...thanx a lot again...merry christthank u so much... my cell phone works now...... first detecting but then i pressed c with my right thumb then it worked....merry christms and happy new year..
Just unbranded my new sony ericsson c905a! Process was simple and completely free! Had a lil mishaps at first, like I made the mistake of choosing American instead of West European. So make sure you guys choose West European instead of American and it will work like a charm! Lost a few games, but that's a small price to pay for what you get.
Hey when i am debranding my C510 I get to the screen to update using the update service and i get the message " no new software is available for your phone " and all i can do is exit. It doesnt seem to be "debranded" tho
I did it, thanks for a great video, it helped me a lot dude.... one more question, do you know how to get my instant messenger back? like ym aol and msn?
if you click right arrow in CDA generator it expands the list, not sure if this is the correct way though because although it did allow SE to update, my phone it's still branded
Looking at your description, do you mean that we can't debrand anymore? I have a FIDO T715 and want to debrand it so I can use mp3s as ringtones. Also, I've heard some people get worse call quality after debranding, is that make any sense?
dont mind my last comment ive gotten it all fixed but now ive switched to firmware R1EA028 and would like to kno if there is any way for to go back to R1GA026 whilie keeping the phone unbranded?my update service still doesnt work and some of my settings dont work with this firmware. thanks by the way you are a hero, this stuff is amazing, your menus and tutorials are amazing . works great
Hi, few questions. 1. Are you sure that the W995 is supported ? 2. I can connect it with ++XSS but doesn't support 3. How can i Download A2Upload without AVG warning like ''Acceptions ?''
I just bought a SE W995 and I have a problem when playing songs with it. when I transfer musics from my PC to the phone most of the songs dont play, it just says "failed" and some of them only plays for a minute than says the same thing "failed". Sometime it plays 2-3 different song in the same file ! what I want to ask you is that if I Flash and Debrand it (O2) will my phone get fixed.
thanks, I only chose a different CDA temporarily to try and fool the SEUS but it did't work so will try different region, if not will it work when Sony bring out a new update?
i followed your steps and everything worked perfectly but when i set the theme the menu icons don't work (i can navigate through them but when i want to, for example, go to camera the icon wont activate) i have the se w910i and w995 i tried it on the w910i first, PLEASE HELP
Hi i have a K850i when i get to the updating the phone part, it says your phone has already has the lastest available software installed and i cant install anything! What should i do??
Hm i had my phone debranded with the Central-Europe cda but there is no german available. Now I have used ADRIATIC CDA. Maybe you can correct this on your website OR I made a mistake.
@MrDavid4e i have a question man;P right up to the a2uploader there is an option FLASH and if we want to flash the mobile why we dont use this option ? ;D
Hi LCARSD nice video and tutorial only for one reason or the other it doesn't work for me when I connect my phone to A2 uploader I can't get into the file system this is all I get in left screen : ChipID:E900,EMP protocol:0401
PHONE STATE: "RETAIL" FLASH CID: 0053 Elapsed:8 secs. And then it says ready Can you help me? My phone is BTW a branded W995 from T-mobile.
is there a problem if my phone didn't say applying changes after draging customize_upgrade to a2uploader and turning it on? it kept starting like always...
aight.. and now when i finaly got it to work on another computer and I did all the things that you showed us it still doesent work on the phone.. and when i connect it to A2uploder there is some red text that what i guess dont really should be there.. :/ .. please, any help ? :)
when you debrand it, is it possible to reset or make it back to how you first got it. cause for warranty reasons i might wanna send my c905 back cause the sliding part, there is a growing gap and the battery life sucks.
The describtion for the unbranding is good :) But I need the right *.xml file for my w995. I can't find anything. Maybe s.b. can help me. I need the *.xml file for Germany.
I was trying to unlock C905 but i think the software got stuck in the process at the 'restarting phone' part. I didn't have much of a choice but to abort the process and remove the phone from the usb. But when i tried turning it on it won't turn on now. it will connect to my computer through A2uploader. what do u suggest?
So hard to concentrate on the movie, with that inspiring and mysterious music in the background :D!
had searched lot on internet but dint help, but finally debranded my sony K660i with ur video thanks a lot for ur video..
What is the music from? Sounds like Terminator or Starcraft

@Sabraella
you should use different region when you create your xml file. it worked for me!
@LCARSD No worries dude, I found a newer version that what I had and that seemed to fix it :). Cheers for the help!
very nicely explain from flashing FW to putting flash themes in. Thanks
at last i done it to my w995. thnks man for this tutorial. theres a little bit difference in w995, you have to use FAR with SEPF2 instead of A2uploader :)
it worked to my k850i too
Great work man!
@LCARSD hvala puno!!! živio!
Is it finished? surely there must be something seeing as it connects!
@MusicRespawn
Urs will support flash menu themes by default..
Hi, great tutorial! Just one thing.
Your website has this sentence for phase 3:
"It might report that your phone already has the latest firmware. That doesn't matter, just make it flash the phone anyway. "
How do you make SEUS "flash the phone anyway"? It won't do anything to my C905, saying "Your phone already has the latest available software installed."
what a fantastic video. Thank you for sharing. Is the W550 considered an A2 phone?
Svaka ti čast legendo! Hvala!

everythin is clear and works PERFECT!
now a last question... Ive got another W760 with the original manufacture files !
my question is is it possible to copy them and put the in my Branded W760 meaning to have back the standard settings (original provider) without flash and all the staff?
* I dont want to do it... but a branded phone loses the guarantee right? * so just in case I wanted to ask if it is possible ;)
THX FOR UR GREAT HELP!!
thanks. actually i have the w910i but my friend was wondering if it would work on his w880
how exactly.. it sounds so easy but i still dont get how u do it ... any easy guide for someone who has never done it before?
Ok, what is 'Debranding' and what are the benifits of doing it?
@LCARSD i see. do you have tutorial on downgrading CID's?
@razanet16
just install gordon's gate flash drivers (you get them with a2 uploader cid 53 version)and that's it!!
you have instaled the SEMC Flash Device drivers?
Ive made everything in the tutorial! when I reach Phase 3 and Connect to SEUS it dont find any new Upgrades.. "your phone already has the latest available software installed."
Try updating your version of SEUS
would u be able to make another vid on how to unblock a C510??
yeh... it said the same thing to me and then i change the region from America to Western Europe and it worked.
btw, what is a debrand credit?
firstly, i thought SE j105 cannot add in flash menu. i try it, it works! cool!!! i use a2uploader v4 full. thanks LCARSD! i am really2 appreciate it.
it detected...thanx a lot again...merry christthank u so much... my cell phone works now...... first detecting but then i pressed c with my right thumb then it worked....merry christms and happy new year..

Hey when i am debranding my C510
I get to the screen to update using the update service and i get the message " no new software is available for your phone "
and all i can do is exit. It doesnt seem to be "debranded" tho
how did u get the one right from the contact book?
I did it, thanks for a great video, it helped me a lot dude.... one more question, do you know how to get my instant messenger back? like ym aol and msn?
if you click right arrow in CDA generator it expands the list, not sure if this is the correct way though because although it did allow SE to update, my phone it's still branded
you r little quick...but it's very nice.. i had tried lot of methods... finally i got from this method.
thanxzzzzz dude....
Debranding the phone will make you lose your MMS and internet settings right? and you have to get them back from your provider?
Please sir where can I get the data cable?
Looking at your description, do you mean that we can't debrand anymore? I have a FIDO T715 and want to debrand it so I can use mp3s as ringtones. Also, I've heard some people get worse call quality after debranding, is that make any sense?
Hey man! that song sounds cool!! yeah
what is it name?? please
oh with my w595 it works..but the w880i is an A2 phone,or not?
dont mind my last comment ive gotten it all fixed
but now ive switched to firmware R1EA028 and would like to kno if there is any way for to go back to R1GA026 whilie keeping the phone unbranded?my update service still doesnt work and some of my settings dont work with this firmware. thanks
by the way you are a hero, this stuff is amazing, your menus and tutorials are amazing . works great
nevermind... got everything to work, Nice menus you make there, only a lil hard to apply, thanks a million (although it seems to be a lil laggy)
ok i get to the part with the update service but it says my phone is up to date and there is no reinstall option. any idea on what i should do?
Can you tell me how to brand my phone again, because I have problems with my MMS networks.
don't you have to type in a CDA into the CDA File Generator before generating the xml file?
Where do I find these things? Sorry, I'm not very good with all this tech stuff.
Hi, few questions.
1. Are you sure that the W995 is supported ?
2. I can connect it with ++XSS but doesn't support
3. How can i Download A2Upload without AVG warning like ''Acceptions ?''
how do you know if the debranding process has worked because i can't change my shutdown screen am only able to change the start up
What version of SE Update Service is that?
I just bought a SE W995 and I have a problem when playing songs with it. when I transfer musics from my PC to the phone most of the songs dont play, it just says "failed" and some of them only plays for a minute than says the same thing "failed". Sometime it plays 2-3 different song in the same file ! what I want to ask you is that if I Flash and Debrand it (O2) will my phone get fixed.
this is to accept any sim from any carrier, which is releasing?
thanks, I only chose a different CDA temporarily to try and fool the SEUS but it did't work so will try different region,
if not will it work when Sony bring out a new update?
there is no canada on the list for the A2 CDA file generator
help please!
@LCARSD thanks so much for answering, do i also have to have that semc for the c902?
i followed your steps and everything worked perfectly but when i set the theme the menu icons don't work (i can navigate through them but when i want to, for example, go to camera the icon wont activate) i have the se w910i and w995 i tried it on the w910i first, PLEASE HELP
I do this on my C902 and it worked!
Hi
i have a K850i
when i get to the updating the phone part, it says your phone has already has the lastest available software installed and i cant install anything!
What should i do??
when u say CDA do u mean change the phone model or the region/branding. also is there a difference with c510 and c510a when it comes to debranding?
@LCARSD everytime i click those links on your description, it says 403 forbidden .:(
Hm i had my phone debranded with the Central-Europe cda but there is no german available. Now I have used ADRIATIC CDA. Maybe you can correct this on your website OR I made a mistake.
I did it but it says no new software to be installed.
the update service ses ive got the newest updates and theres no option to reinstall it what can i do?
how many minutes does it take for the pc to read the phone?
Hi, LCARSD.
"Debranding (new): [link here]"
Can you post this tutorial somewhere?
@MrDavid4e i have a question man;P right up to the a2uploader there is an option FLASH and if we want to flash the mobile why we dont use this option ? ;D

sorry my fault i think my phone isnt in the a2 list that you have in your site...its the w850i
Hi LCARSD nice video and tutorial only for one reason or the other it doesn't work for me when I connect my phone to A2 uploader I can't get into the file system
this is all I get in left screen :
ChipID:E900,EMP protocol:0401
PHONE STATE: "RETAIL"
FLASH CID: 0053
Elapsed:8 secs.
And then it says ready
Can you help me? My phone is BTW a branded W995 from T-mobile.
is there a problem if my phone didn't say applying changes after draging customize_upgrade to a2uploader and turning it on? it kept starting like always...
@LCARSD And what about the Connection of my w995 ? i won't connect
aight.. and now when i finaly got it to work on another computer and I did all the things that you showed us it still doesent work on the phone.. and when i connect it to A2uploder there is some red text that what i guess dont really should be there.. :/ .. please, any help ? :)
so i just wait when new version comes out and i update it and then my phone will be de-branded? or is there anyway i can downgrade and then update?
hmm, i dont have the option to reinstall the firmware even though i have the latest. theres only the exit button.
How can I change the icons of the menu ?
your music make i feel suspicious to install flash theme...errrggg....whatever your tutorial is good for me....Thumb Up

what camera did you use to film this?
when you debrand it, is it possible to reset or make it back to how you first got it. cause for warranty reasons i might wanna send my c905 back cause the sliding part, there is a growing gap and the battery life sucks.
I had the same problem. Do a master reset on your phone. Then make the new CDA file and it should find a new file to update.
i have c905 o2 brand and i debranded it but in menu do not show play now icon its show home page. Why? And how to get play now icon.
