Hi there

got a w995 (sunrise, switzerland) and tried debranding by uploading the customize_upgrade.xml (codeclaw v5.0) via A2 uploader. but seus brings "you already have installed latest version......"

do i have to delete all folders and files (probably crap from sunrise ) located in the custom folder prior to uploading the customize_upgrade.xml file?

...or should this work by drag and drop it between all other files and folders?

thanks for your help

Did you try to change your revision in your generated xml?

no, i used the defauld one:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<customization>
<info>
<cda-number>1209-4774</cda-number>
<cda-revision>R6A</cda-revision>
<created-by>thaproxinator</created-by>
</info>
</customization>

could it be because i updated to R1EA035 via seus before?

will try the release nr. change.....

Afaik R1FA035 is latest, you might need to manually flash old firmware to get this work

will flashing work with the w995 and A2 uploader?

....and how do i have to do this? flash the whole system? where do i get the flash files and so on?

use A2 uploader, firmware files is on seusers.com

so, i just have to upload the W995_R1EA028_FS_WESTERN-EUROPE_RED53.fbn file to the MISC Files and then push flash?

is this a safe thing, or is there a risc that the phone is not working afterwords? i mean after switch back to the old fw...

You'll also need a main (.mbn) and a custpack that matches the FS.

hey boysie

and where do i get the .mbn (whats diffrence between .fbn and .mbn?) and machting custompack ?

Main: http://www.seusers.com/forum/local_links.p...mp;linkid=19303

Dunno where to get the custom pack from Im afraid (though a C905 one MIGHT work (I take no responsibility if it doesnt) - hopefully someone else could shed some light onto this?

C905 Western europe custom pack:http://www.seusers.com/forum/local_links.p...mp;linkid=17159)

C905 works

Then the above are good to go

so, i upload the main and custom pack from above to MISC (zip file or unzipped?) and push flash?
@cchaos --> do not main and custom pack have to be both of c905?

....then, upload customize_upgrade to custom folder?

...then, seus ?

is this correct?

thank you all for your help!

any help, please!?

R1FA036 is latest.

hi

The cda trick and flashing manually are two separate things.

Ok, i'll explain most of it for you.

If you want to do the cda trick, you can use a CDA generator (mine or jockeps) to make the CDA file for you. This file contains changes to be made upon startup of the phone. In this case, its a CDA change. This CDA change will trick SEUS into thinking you do or don't have a branded phone and hopefully, will allow you to update and get the different branding you have specified in the XML file. This is "the easy way out".

Flashing manually on the other hand, is a method almost everyone uses. Instead of tricking SEUS, you will be doing the firmware change yourself using a flasher e.g. (a2uploader).

Now that thats out of the way...

Firmware Files are usually in .mbn and .fbn format. .mbn is MAIN and .fbn is FS
CustomPack is a zip file containing customization files which (after flashing) should be uploaded to the phone.

What you want is W995 firmware (MAIN and FS) and as jockep and cchaos have stated, a custompack (C905 will work because it is DB3210 same as W995).

So:
1. Flash main and fs with a2uploader.
2. Upload custompack with a2uploader (MISC)

All the above, please correct me if Im wrong.

And I hope I helped.

thanks a lot thaproxinator

just one question, to flash all three files (.mbn .fbn and .zip) i only have upload one after the other to MISC of the a2 uploader and press flash, right?

does it need a restart of the phone after your point 1.?

1. add .mbn and .fbn (click add)
2. then click "flash".
3. once finished flashing, disconnect phone
4. re-open a2uploader
5. add .zip to MISC
6. click "flash"
7. when finished, disconnect and start phone

a big thank to thaproxinator and all the others!!!!!! [/b][/b]

this worked just perfect, and finally also my flash themes work now!

...and all the crap of sunrise is gone...

this is really great forum!

no worries.

im glad it worked out

Guys, something really strange happened to me.

I tried to do it by the SEUS method (I only want to debrand my phone, i really don't care if it is blocked by the operator)

When I recently bougth it, I used SEUS to confirm that it cames with the latest software. The sentence was "your phone already has the latest software" and "if you are experiency problems with your product we recomend that you re-install the sofware" and the options at the bottom were "cancel" and "re-install".

So, I did upload the custom....xlm thing with A2.... in the same way that I have instaled camdrvs and acoustics before.
All OK, but when I ran the SEUS again (with the new .xml installed) the software just said me that the phone is already actualized....

NO REINSTALL OPTION!!!
Just click in "back" or "exit"

The tutos that I have read, said to re-install to finish the debranding. The strange thing is that I'm certainly sure that the option was there before. I sware

By the way, mi phone is now working with my own .xml files, and is exactly in the same way that it do it before. No changes at all, but...

What about if in the future, I really have problems with my product, and I seriusly want to reinstall the sofware?

Flash it manually with A2uploader.

Ya, thaks for the answer, I know I can do that, but the question is why that happens?
First, Re-install option; Then NO OPTIONS at all!!

And the most important, can i undo what i do?

(maybe is an offtopic question, but the fact is that this happen trying to debrand my w995).....

Try another CDA

bingo~ worked ace!
