Look... People are using those solutions and there are lot of threads about it here at Esato... My intention was to let people decide if they want to use it or not from experience and advicer of others incl. Mods. They must be aware that they are breaking their warranty and what damage they can do to their phone. But it is their free will to do it. I dont see any advertisments in this thread. And I dont see anyone saying YES YOU USE IT IT IS GREAT. This message was posted from a K700i

The title of thread is a kind of adv already. As vlammetje wrote, the mods have the right to judge, i wrote just my opinion. This message was posted from a T68i

yes and you wrote 'just your opinion' about 7 times already. I think everybody gets it. Sorry for being blunt but you're bringing the whole thing off topic

I had a long battle with vodafone about branding and crippling at the highest level (Director of Customer Service) and still they would not listen. So, I followed your experiences, hints and advice in the other thread and it gave me the confidence to try unbranding my voafone k700i.

I went for the TotalServer/Faceoff solution. I read and re-read all the advice, then finally plucked up the courage to plug my cable in and hit 'flash'. It worked like a dream, first time. The best thread I ever found.

Unlocked my F500i (vodafone Sweden) via Davinci server. I was gonna use Davinci to flash and debrand to but for me it was too confusing and i was not shure on what files i needed . Did not get any answers when i mailed for support.

Instead i bought some credits on totalserver and in two easy steps my phone is now a K500! Nothing left from vodafone Live!.

One dissapointment:

Can no longer change resolution to 176x220 for games. That is for me a BIG downer..

BUT, the phone is so much better in all now, so it was worth it anyway!

My PC use XP pro SP2. No problems at all.

1 credit used at Davinci
1 credit used at Totalserver.

I edited the title and deleted the solution names from the original thread. Hope this satisfies everyone. Ispoke yesterday with guys from SE Service Center about these solutions and I don't see the reason why we shouldn't.

This thread is ment to be pro and contra unofficial solutions and to get some conclusion. That's why I wanted all the people to share their experiences. I am sure the ones that are against unofficial solutions will give good reasons why not, and that the others that are not against unofficial solutions will also give good reasons why?

with reference to the warning message in the first post I just can say that I will not make any comment on this topic since I in no way support unauthorized unlocking/flashing of phones...

@ Cytech

Thank you for your answer. With all the respect can you please comment on SE removing R2AA from EMMAII and the thing that they said in OFFICIAL SE Service Center in Zagreb/Croatia that there is no free software for Croatian market for K700 that will allow you use of SE US (All K700i software in a way is tied up to one of the network providers in Croatia). So they had to flash software from Oskar - Czech GSM operator.

Thanks

R2AA003 was removed due to some problems with communication between mobile (both for K700 and K500) and PC ... a new firmware is said to be released in week 43.
If there is no regional unbranded firmware depends on if the phone is sold unlocked/unbranded in the country, if it isn't sold like this, there is no original firmware for theese languages available.
