Has anyone encountered this?...I recently emailed se service dept to see where my nearest service centre was so I could get my voda live! T610 unlocked and flashed back to original se spec. SE replied saying that the voda live is copywrited and will not flash for me. I particularly don't want to flash myself but seem to be left with few other alternatives

Naturally SE are not interested in having the Vodafone branding removed. I would imagine Vodafone has paid a substantial amount to license the T610 and create the branded version of fw etc. It would be really stupid for SE to undermine Vodafone's business model (and thereby their own) by allowing unbranding.

However - if you contact a couple of service centers directly instead of speaking to SE themselves I'm sure you can find one that isn't as strict about following the rules.

You should contact one of the centres directly insted of through SE. SE have to refuse to flash you phone due to legal rights and stuff so if you go straight to a service centre which isnt so strick baout the rules they should do it for u.

The only trouble is you will have to ring around to find the leinient centres that are lax towards the rules...

How exactly would you flash his phone??? Remotely??? Or would he have to send the handset to you?
