Hi, sorry to resurrect such an old thread but, I need some help debranding a W850i.

It is stuck with the horrible Vodafone menus, and splash screens, but I want to be able to have just the normal WALKMAN skins, and menus.

I have tried FAR, but it still ends up with Vodafone branding, and trying to find Generic firmware is tricky for this phone.

I know that I can use WOTAN to debrand it but, I am only using this phone for experimenting, and practising on so I don't really want to spend any money on it if at all possible,

Any help would be fantastic.

Cheers.

Generic FS: http://www.4shared.com/file/z[....]_R1KG001_FS_CENT_EUROPE_RE.htm

The only thing I can't find is the custom...

Hi, sorry but I should have mentioned, the phone is CID53, and not CID52,

Thanks for your reply.

I can't find CID53 MAIN's over 4shared. I recommend you to do the CDA trick. Change your CDA to a generic one and then update it with SEUS.

Can you elaborate on that process please, bit of a noob at all of this stuff,

Download the Ultimate CDA Generator and get one for your phone. Make sure it's the one for your region

Upload it to your phone to tpa/preset/custom.

Hi, how do I upload the new CDA to the phone, by using FAR Manager?

Good news, changed the CDA just like Tranced instructed me to do, and VOILA!!!!! phone is now Vodafone free, and totally generic.

Many thanks for all of your help Tranced, you saved me from a lot of searching on the web,
