Yeah i wanna get this done. I spoke to a shop yesterday and they said it would be £20, so i reckon i will just send it to you. Would you charge £30 for the unlock and debranding? Or would you do a special price?

I have ordered SeTool from the link mentioned in the post. The guy from the company said there is no need for a power supply for the cables they provide (and they provide 2 sets apparently to do 2 phones at once). Hopefully I will get it quickly. I decided to invest in this as I am sure this will not be the first and only time I want to debrand/unlock a phone, and I can also earn a bit of cash if I feel like it too.

By the way, when debranding, how do you ensure that you still keep all of the ringtones, background pics etc? I think these are not part of the firmware update itself and get lost otherwise? Will a backup and restore work if the branding/firmware has been changed?

backup and restore will work fine for data before a flash, restoring after a flash.

Tested on M600i.

Hi all.

I am trying to keep all central info posted in this thread.

I have already had many requests, but I need to know people are definately interested.

At the moment I only have 10 credits so as I said before it is a first come first served situation.

I would like all those people who are 100% interested to PM me saying they are 100% interested so that I can get a definate number.

I will then reply with an address to send the phone to, and an estimated return date for the phone.

I am asking (as in a previous post) that everyone who sends me their phone send it in easy to reuse packaging with a piece of paper with their esato username on, their return address, the phone, the cd rom (for drivers) and the money for the required job.

So again everyone 100% interested please PM me stating this and I will get back to you ASAP!

Thanks a lot everyone

P.S. Be sure to make a full backup of your phone as all personal data will be lost during the flash
Also all phones will be flashed with the latest world generic 1 firmware I can get, unless otherwise stated.

I received my SETool kit and I have successfully debranded the P990 (without changing CDA as this does not require credits).

I could not use the supplied cables because I couldn't get the P990 into "program" mode when holding down the 'C' key. I had to use the SE USB cable that comes with the P990 instead.

Coxy, don't know if you have come across this. I tried to do a Read GDFS first as a backup precaution. It hung after about 60 seconds. After this the phone would not switch on again until I had flashed the firmware. Not sure why the Read GDFS would fail.

using the wrong cable? you said you were using the usb cable included in-box, this isn't how the guys that make setool expect it to be used - the dongle cable will be different and have extra wires (well...the old serial-style flashing did...) in the cable to allow flashing. To put a v600i into flashing mode, you turn it off, hold c and then plug the micro-usb in - then you may have to tap the on button while holding c, can't remember...

@jonstatt

I have not yet flashed a P990. I believe you can use the DCU-60 as opposed to a serial cable with a P990.

Unfortunately I cannot help with the read GDFS problem.

That's what flashing the phone with generic firmware will accomplish. Which is what the services of Coxy would do.

All PMs replied to

To everyone wishing to send phones on a friday, if I have already given you the address please re-PM me as I will use a different address to receive the phone on saturaday. Also note I will not be able to send the phone back until monday, meaning you will get it on tuesday.

Thanks to everyone interested.
