Can't wait to try this out. One question though - in future can I use the update service if there is a firmware update, using my "unbranded" CDA?

Well, it looks like I have no choice but to wait, SEUS is still down! Another quick question, when the SEUS prompts me to enter the CDA, should I enter the current one (for my branded phone) or the new one I would have selected?

@sailaab: owners of p900 reported that this method worked some time ago and then suddenly stopped working. As for the S700, I haven't found any info on that, I suppose it doesn't work.

@Geezay: a phone unbranded this way behaves as a normal phone that originally had an unbranded CDA. After completing the process, You may remove the downloaded dll and rename back the old one, thus restoring the original seus. After that You will get normal updates for Your new CDA. Of course You may leave the unbrander if You plan to unbrand further phones (or change Your phone to some other CDA), it's useless otherwise.

EDIT: When unbranding, use the Automatic mode. If You get a message "Your operator doesn't allow the update" (something like that, I've never seen it), use the Recovery Mode.

As for the downtimes of the SEUS server, they are reported to happen pretty often so keep trying. I hope they aren't doing any changes to fsck the unbranding method .

2ND EDIT: What message do you get when the SEUS server is down? Remember to check Your firewall, 'cause if it blocks the updater, the server will be "down" forever .

Thanks doc. And for the second question - when the SEUS prompts me to enter the CDA, should I enter the current one (for my branded phone) or the new one I would have selected?

You select the new one (unbranded one). The one you pasted into the file. That is the one that gets read by SEUS.

No no no. Read my previous post. You don't enter the CDA, because You don't use the Manual Mode. Automatic Mode has to be used, and if it says "Operator doesn't allow" or similar - Rescue Mode.

The CDA is read from the phone, no matter what You enter on the SE webpage (this is only to check what is the newest firmware version, without connecting the phone). That's why You need the dll which passes different CDA to SEUS during the update process.

Can anyone verify whether this is working just now or not? I keep getting a message that the url entered is wrong, so I'm guessing the server must be down, no?

I can see the error too, this has happened before. Keep retrying, it'll work eventually.

I tried this on my Orange-branded P910i and it worked flawlessly first time. My phone is also definately faster since unbranding. Thanks!
