@red - Did the process (of de-branding) went well/OK No problems encountered?

It's very simple!

Download client from http://www.wotanserver.com, along with the USB Flash Driver.

Purchase a credit (or two for the future!).

Run the app, enter your login/password and it should confirm how many credits remain on that account.

Connect the USB Cable to your phone, holding 'C' on the phone.

The client should recognise your phone and show you the available firemware. Choose the one you want.

Wam-Bam! Should be done in about 10 minutes.

Maybe a massively stupid question. But is there a big benefit to de-branding?

there is no guarentee for it not to break your phone but the likeihood that you will is very small i did mine on saturday without a problem. just make sure you select the "finalise" option!

dont forget all your apps/messages/pics/contacts/settings etc will all be wiped so back as much as you can to memory card or pc.

the only real advantage is cosmetic, you dont have to look at operator branding allover your phone. it also means that if you select a generic cda and firmware then you can guarentee updated firmware on seus for free when its released from then on (branded firmware doesnt always get updates)

@Ridahz - Probably best to go along to http://support.wotanserver.com/ and raise a ticket through their new support system I guess. Explain the situation and you should get your login details that way.

I lost the log-in details to my account a few weeks back. E-mailed them and they replied back within 2 hours.
