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?
Posted by Gabster
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?
Posted by Gabster
no, do you think that would work? Would I not lose all my setting?
Posted by jcwhite_uk
You would lose all your settings but they can be downloaded from se website. You would have lost your settings when you debranded.

If the master reset dosent fix the problem. What files did you flash?
Posted by Gabster
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.
Posted by amnesia
maybe it was an altered firmware.
Just a voda fone with SE icons.
G can do that sort of stuff I think.

Not likely, without knowing what has happened i guess that he has accidently flashed incorrect files, but we need to see those names

Ok did the master reset, and nothing has changed (apart from losing my contact!
). I used Total Multi Server, no problems with the installation as far as I could tell. I downloaded the file Z800i_R1AB014_ZONE_1_EU-EMEA.V8S
Is that the right file? Voda still thinks that my phone is a z800i because i am unable to view their live portal correctly...no 3G available (apart from video calls).
I have taken photo's of the phone if you want I can upload it for you

It all sounds very strange, what language pack did you use?
Could you post screenshots of the phone showing the live! button and other Voda branding?

I do not think you completely flashed the phone dude. I used Davinci and used the R1014B and all the Voda-crap stuff is gone. Can you flash again?
Posted by gbrooks3
As i suspect, you only flashing 1 file. SEMC firmware consists of main firmware and of FS. I guess you flashed fs only..........download both file then flash both at the same time with finalization.

Indeed, look at the image below mate, I've highlighted the two types you need to get, just select whichever files are applicable for your situation. Gonna cost you an extra credit I'm afraid but that cannot be helped, you need to flash both files at once.

Thank you all for your help, very very grateful!
Posted by Gabster
is there a known solution yet to use the 3G services e.g. download video's using a Z800 phone?
Posted by thegetti
I have just flashed my Z800 with V800 firmware. All seems to work now.
Managed to buy a wallpaper and news info from Heat. However on full tracks and video downloads it comes up with Download Failed. Might just be becasue there is a problem at the moment

If you mean Vodafone Live then no, there is no 100% fix. Some things will work, others won't. the portal will tell you your phone is not supported or has no UMTS coverage.
Some pages will load, some downloads will work, others won't and never will.
On other networks I don't know
