Hi everyone.

I just bought a Sony Ericsson W890 from another county (The Netherlands, I live in Belgium). The mobile phone was "Vodafone" (A mobile phone service provider from the Netherlands) simlocked, but I used Aerix (http://aerix-group.com/index.html) to unlock it (for free).
The mobile phone is succesfully unlocked. I can use my TMF Mobile simcard now.

But... the firmware is still Vodafone branded. I mean: there are shortcuts to Vodafone services, Vodafone features I can't use, ...
I want to remove them by flashing the Belgian (European?) un-branded firmware... The only thing I want is the Belgian / Dutch language.

I this possible (for free)? Is this safe? How do I have to do that?

Thanx in advance!

Update: I see a lot of people saying it's not possible, but unlocking for free should also be not possible, but that's exactly what I did... So...

Hi mate,

Thanx for your reply!

Aerix is very good & easy software, indeed. Very nice!

But I had just found the following guide before:

And with the following list:
http://www.myforum.a site/showpost.php?p=386827

I fixed it to flash the Benelux unbranded firmware.

I just got a look to your method. Also easy. The adventage of the methode I used is that you're sure you have the good and the latest firmware.

Thanx for your reply & time!

Edit: Hmm, some links are not 'popular' here... :/

Yep, I'm happy.

I'm sorry I used another method as you said, and that looks common here...

But, I think, the more possibilities to debrand, the better...
But my links get messed up... A little bit censorship here...
