where can i get these files from so i can debrand my p910i thats branded with orange please

those firmware files seem like ones that are meant for another software. If you want to use TMS all needed files are included in the TMS download area. if you have a credit already then you can download them for free. if you don't have a credit, of course you need to buy one

if you want a free (risky/unreliable) solution to flashing your phone you are posting in the wrong forum section. maybe your solution can be found in the general sony ericsson section.

good luck!

bought credits, flashed phone, got 2 errors, branding is still here ... up to now no support from them.

I did the same, bought 3 credits at £8 each, unlocked OK but found WAP settiings from Vodafone to be read-only.

Updated firmware using unbranded "P910i_R4E001_EU-EMEA-APAC_Upgrade-Debrand_Firmware.AVR " (produced no change on phone), then tried the R5B SYM, LNG and RLF. Returned error 28230 and 28211 after RLF, but said checksum OK. Then locked up.

Notices that versaion 2.20 is now available, wonder if it fixes anything. Got no response to emails.

Argh!!!

exobuzz · 06-17-2006, 03:17

I also have a debranding problem (the same one?)

First I flashed (with Flash Menu)
P910i_R4E001_EU-EMEA-APAC_Upgrade-Debrand_Firmware.AVR

Then I flashed (with pda menu)
P910i_R5B01_EU-EMEA-APAC_Symbian.SYM
EMEA-APAC_NL_FR_DE_EL_TR.LNG
EMEA-APAC_Rolf_File.RLF

I got no errors. 2 Credits were used in total.

I turned on my phone, and it still boots up with Orange and the custom menu and all the other branding.

I wrote an email for support at gsmlogs.net. Waiting to hear back.

bosshogg · 06-17-2006, 10:45

Was given credit to try again under v2.20 (Thanks)...

All checksums verified OK and a Success message after the download

Took out battery, replaced, powered on and Vodafone welcom ditty played

Upon full boot, the phone had not lost any of its information or anything

I wonder if there is a missing step at the end of the process? Master reset required or should a power off do the trick?

It is almost as if it is going through the motions, simulating the process rather than doing it for real. No Debug flag or something left in the software ???

HELP (Please)

exobuzz · 06-17-2006, 23:14

Yup. Exactly what happened with me. It went through the motions, but remains branded afterwards. I also used 2.20.

I'm still awaiting a reply from totalmultiserver (gsmlogs.net) and the reseller (cellcorner.com).

I hope this can be resolved.

bosshogg · 06-19-2006, 09:57

As the instructions for unbranding the P910i found from the link at...www.terminatordongle.com
specifies a master reset at the end if nothing has changed, I tried that.

Still Vodafone'd.

Ahh well, just need to wait for the Guru's to find out whats happening with P910i flashing.

Happy to help debug if required ????

Cheers, Dave.

exobuzz · 06-19-2006, 20:48

I've still not had a reply to my mails regarding this. It's funny how fast "businesses" are to respond when its about making a sale, but when it comes to solving a problem.. :/

alru111 · 06-26-2006, 02:53

Sorry for the delay, we are still waiting to hear from the developer.
Most probably there will be a fix for the firmware so it might take some longer

bosshogg · 06-26-2006, 09:59

There are after all more important things going on at the moment ....like a spot of footie!

I'm happy to assist (if I can) by helping debug the problem?

Cheers, Dave.

If 3-4 emails back and forth, and replacement credits is no support...then i don't know what is!

you never did let me know how things went after the replacement credits.

thanks again

hi,

i'm having the same problem - unlock P910i went fine, but flashing

P910i_R4E001_EU-EMEA-APAC_Upgrade-Debrand_Firmware.AVR
P910i_R5B01_EU-EMEA-APAC_Symbian.SYM
EMEA-APAC_NL_FR_DE_EL_TR.LNG
EMEA-APAC_Rolf_File.RLF

didn't work - phone is still branded, even after master reset (btw - when i read "master reset", i'm assuming a "reset factory presets" is meant, or is this something different? if yes, how do i do a "master reset"? ;-))

please advise,

thanks,
thomers

hmm, could the problem be that i rebooted the phone in between flashing the AVR and the SYM/LNG/RLF-files?
