Hi there,
Just wondering if anyone else had this problem. I debranded my V800 to what I thought was a Z800. It was completly successful, I got rid of the voda branding. However after reading some posts last night it occured to me that the 'live' button is not still meant to exist on the right softkey. That did not phase me to much however just now I found out that I can't add any mp3 with out the DRM software (which I do have). So basically I have a Z800 phone cosmetically but still have the V800 limits. Does that make sense? Is this normal? What can I do to change this?

are you sure about this?
Look at your top left icon in the menu selection section.
Is it a page with an SE logo on it?
Or is it something else?

it is with the sony logo, but when the phone is on standby it has the voda live button assigned to the right button as opposed to the 'more' function. Also still can't add mp3.

Did you try a master reset after the debranding?

no, do you think that would work? Would I not lose all my setting?

You would lose all your settings but they can be downloaded from se website. You would have lost your settings when you debranded.

When I debranded it, I lost no setting at all, it still had all of the vodaphone setting, the vodaphone startup screen still appeared and it would not allow me to delete them. The thing is I unbraded two different v800 and the same thing is happening with both phones, I just thought it was normal...I am about to do the master reset now, so I will keep you posted. Thanks for your quick response.
gbrooks3 I PM a few days ago, did you recieve and do you think that you would be able to help me? I understand that you are very busy so any help would be extreamly grateful!

Need to know, what software you used, what files (copy filenames here) and what effect master reset had.

maybe it was an altered firmware.
Just a voda fone with SE icons.
G can do that sort of stuff I think.
