hi
just to give an update of the current issue with the firmware flash for the t610 to remove the voda/t-mobile customizations is very almost completed.
we have completed the tests and am now ready to do one final test before this process will be available to all.
we have succesfully removed the voda live items from our test handset.
@simeon if you read this post can you contact me plz.
please be a little more patient for another day or so until we finish finalizing this.
regards

Thanks for letting us know. I will bring my phone along and there are a few friends of mine who are interested too.
Can you let me know a few things?
1. Is it possible to back up the phone settings, pictures etc etc before removing the customisation, since I presume it is some sort of flashing.
2. Is it possible to back up the current EPROM with customisation incase we don't like the change due to any possible errors and want to revert back to the standard Vodafine Live!
3. What happens to the warranty?
Thanks |

1) yes use phone backup form chrissten.org
2) yes its possible but i only know how to do it on DT-3 nokia handsets
3) it is void unless origional SE firmware is put back on it
it can ba dangaros(sp?) to flash your phone yourself only let qualifed people do it as it can screw your phone.
aah i remember back in the day when i descoverd project 5110
god i jus read my post over and i decided i cant spell to save my life.

Thanks for your answers.
The Christersson.org software does not support T610 and it does not backup the pictures and ringtones and other things. |

nick,
just wanna check if after we flash our sets, and in future if we do need to upgrade our firmware versions down at SE serv centres, would there be any complications?
will our warrantys be void after we do this?
cheers. |

hi guys
I beleive your warranty will be voided in technical terms, but i think this is bull because it is only the original firmware flash for the handset, so if anything went wrong with my handset after awhile even if it were a hardware problem nothing to do with firmware i would still send it off to sonyeric for repair, so technically yes you warranty is voided but is it fair NO!
as to backing everything up, i dont think there is an easy way at present with the t610, so yes everything would be wiped from the handset inc phone numbers, logo's, ringtines etc.... oh and also the voda live stuff would be wiped 
regards

I'm assuming that the EEPROM will be re-flashed with that from an unbranded, original T610.
Hopefully, this 'update' will cover all brands of phone.... Hopefully! |

yes u can still have the firmware upgraded even if the phone is still locked to the vodafone network or any network
and yes the orange stuff should be able to go as well, ive been testing on a voda handset.
as for the actual firmware file it is an orginal ericsson flash file, not a 3rd party re-coded file.
i just need one customer handset to test on now.
contact me if interested, email : nick@mobilexchange.net

Just got my t610 flashed at mobilexchange. It was successful, got rid of all the live branding. The menu icons are back original. The only thing is that the 1st icon still brings u to live n the 2nd icon to favourites. But hey, we just want to get rid of all that red voda branding right?
