If you want to debrand it for free and feel a little tech minded then try this way which i found on topsony and it worked for me
First of all, i dont have any credit for this method. I was helped by several users ( Thanks ! ) and i decided to make a guide to help.
This is an A2 Debrand Tutorial
Software Required:
- A2uploader ( google search )
- Sony Ericsson Update Service ( Comes with the phone CD, or download on SonyEricsson website )
- Notepad ( Comes with Windows ... )
Note: On some Sony Ericsson Models, you have to press 2+5 instead of C.
Recommended Step: (For Users with Phone Warranty)
- You will need to identify your CDA to Debrand again your phone in case you need to take it to Warranty.
- Turn Off your phone and remove the battery and put it again.
- Connect the USB cable to the phone and Press C button.
- Execute A2uploader on your computer, and press the identify button:
- Then plug in your USB cable to the computer, and should appear a text like this:
- Save that number on CDA-Article
- Follow the next steps:
Step 1:
- You need to switch your phone CDA to a Generic CDA, this makes SEUS to update to the debranded firmware.
( for people who want to restore the phone "Recommended Step", in cda number on xml, copy the one you got from A2uploader )
http://www.4shared.com/file/7[....]f30dbec/customize_upgrade.html
download the above file and unrar itas i have already made the file (which is for western europe uk) for you to use
Step 2:
- Turn Off your phone and remove the battery and put it again.
- Connect the USB cable to the phone and Press C button.
- Execute A2uploader and press the FileSystemTool button:
- Go to tpa/preset/custom directory and drag the customize_upgrade.xml to there (after copy, check if it is there):
- Press Stop button on A2uploader, and Quit
Step 3:
- Turn on the phone, to (in other words) install the new CDA.
- Turn off the phone
Step 4:
- Execute Sony Ericsson Update Service, and press Start button:
- Choose your phone type and click continue: (In picture, im using SE C905 for example)
- Choose your phone model and click continue: (In picture, im using SE C905 for example)
- Follow the program instructions:
- Then will appear your new firmware type, and u press continue: (In picture, im using SE C905 for example, western europe firmware)
- It will pop-up a window for you to confirm, you have to press Yes twice:
- Now you have to w8, for the process to finish:
- Congrats ! You have debranded your Sony Ericsson, disconnect the USB cable from the phone, remove battery and put it again, and turn on the phone. Enjoy

I know I'm not supposed to ask here but it looks simple ,will this method work for me to debrand a W910 on Vodafone? If so ,can someone provide me a link or something to get the generic w910 firmware like the customize_upgrade.xml and CDA for it?

sorry I couldn't post back earlier, only three posts allowed on your first day of registration.
I ended up using davinci, which worked splendidly (though cost £9.31). Oddly enough, now the SEUS says there is an update available
Thanks for the assistance anyway, I shall continue frequenting the forum once more.....

Debranded my c905 today, phone was annoying me restarting all the time!
Anyway, if i have any tech problems, or anything needs to eb done via warrenty, Ill change the CDA back to the original O2 one, and flash via SEUS, putting the crappy o2 stuff back on

Hi, been trying to debrand my sony c905 but cant get past step 1 to identify my CDA! Ive downloaded A2 Uploader and followed the procedure of connecting the phone by holding down C (even tried 2+5). Tried it a number of times but A2 doesnt find anything? Ive waited 7-8 minutes but still no luck.
Any help would be great.... thanks.

Hi everyone. I received my C905 this afternoon and it was on the Orange network with those horrible Orange buttons.
After following the tutorial above I managed to get my phone debranded and looking great. Only small detail is the Orange logo on my phone case, but that's nothing to worry about.
This was a brand new phone out of the box and I had a small hitch, too. SEMCBOOT.
I followed the instructions at the bottom of page one in this thread
http://www.esato.com/board/viewtopic.php?topic=164419
After using device manager to install the drivers for the SEMCBOOT Flash utility I was up and running. I saved my CDA but I don't need it anymore as everything went great. Thanks to the OP who posted/shared this tutorial and stuff you to Orange for messing with my homescreen and menu buttons.
