Hi all,
Well i should mention that if you are an existing VodaFone customer they will sell you the code also for £20 immediately, mine was already on the system so my E-Mail with the unlock code arrived while i was still on the phone to him. To say i was surprised at how fast i got the unlock would be a massive understatement as it took less then 5 minutes.

Balls - followed guide. Worked perfectly - phone unbranded.
However, I then restored the back-up - i.e. contacts, etc.
When it restarted, i got the "phone startup failed contact the retailer" error. I have tried all the things I can think of, including a hard format ("*"+"3"+"Call button"), without any joy - I think it has reformatted, as no longer asking for pin code. But still the same error.
Any other ideas, or am I going to have to send this off to Nokia to get this sorted? It was on Vodafone UK originally, but I am assuming that since I have unbranded, they won't want to know.
Any ideas?
Cheers

Problem solved. If anyone else experiences this problem, in order for the 'hard format' to work, it appears that you need to release the 4-key combination as soon as the Nokia screen appears. You will then get taken to the screen where you input the country, set the time, etc.
Thanks again do dogmann for posting the guide, and everyone who has contributed.
Cheers

Hi all
I have updated the original post as IMO it is not advisable to restore a backup once you have updated and changed the product code as it can cause problems.

Hi, I followed the guide but it didn't debrand the phone, it still has oranges crap all over it :'(
When I chose read, it came up with my product code, so I thought if I didn't need to change the code, why did I have to click write? What else is written to the phone? I clicked write anyway, and all seemed OK.
After reading the guide again, I realist that I should I have changed this to a generic code.
I have looked at the product codes here...
http://www.esato.com/board/viewtopic.php?topic=162207
but I don't know which one I should use, maybe 0549174: EURO-1 ?
currently my phone is this...
0566152 RM-313 N82-1 (Black) Orange UK
It came with the latest firmware already installed 20.0.062, but the Nokia Software Updater let me reinstall it (after a failed first attempt, very scary lol)
(this didn't fix the prob I have with the music player. It just hangs, saying opening) I only got the phone yesterday :'(
Hope you can help
Thanks
EDIT: OK, I couldn't wait any longer lol, so I went with 0549174 and I think it worked because the main screen layout has changed, but I still have the orange photo icon in the menu which I cant delete :/
Also, all my contacts are still on the phone, and my wi-fi settings are still there, does this mean that it did not update, even though NSU said that it had?
And the music player is still freezing :'(
