Have You tried the Recovery Mode? If it doesn't work, maybe Vodafone phones are somehow protected... I don't know really, but my friend has a Vodafone Germany branded p910i and he is going to unbrand, so maybe we figure something out.

What you say to download the SEUS service - how do you do this? When I use the SE website to update my firmware it seems to be doing it all from the site rather than downloading an app to my PC?

Excellent - it works perfectly. Although to be honest, once you've installed Sony Desktop there isn't much if any difference between the branded phone and non-branded phone anyway.

One thing – when I start the phone up, I still get a little grey rectangle saying “Welcome to Orange”. How do I get rid of that?

Is that just your user greeting?

Ok... I tried it also and works fine for me now... Much better
and even faster - I'm missing some features of the branding...

"Is that just your user greeting? "

No, that's turned off - it's some orange thing. I guess if the phone's been zapped with non-branded firmware then that only leaves the SIM card as the culprit?

This may be something that got restored from the backup made, when You had the previous firmware version. But now, that Your phone is debranded You may delete it.

Funny thing (not really).

I just followed the procedure, and it worked prefectly. However, I've got a problem - my phone re-locked to ERA network. I had my SIM lock off, and now I'm stuck wit the "Wrong SIM" message.

Pomocy!

I seem to have half debranded mine. Boot screen is now Sony Ericsson but I still have a menu entry for vodafone SMS alerts. I installed firmware CDA162005/1 but it has put R5A02 version on.

What about trying to flash without a SIM card?

Would that stop this vodafone flavour firmware being installed?
