just to let you guys know before trying this -I could not flash my phone kept getting a runtime error ,contacted wotan support and they said that my 256mb ram was not enough memory and that you need about 512mb in order for decryption of the file.

This is my first post on the boards, I decided to flash my K800i based on the information in this thread!
I have (had!) a UK '3' network branded phone. This was some of the most horrible branding I had ever seen on a phone, it almost made me resent the absolutley fantastic deal i managed to get out of them!! Who in their right mind would put an advertising banner on the front of a phones main screen!!  Anyway, onto the guts of the post.......
Firstly, I used the tool at www.wotanserver.com. I don't know if the DaVinci Team's tool is any better?? This meant that I had to install the USB flash drivers, which are available at the above address.
I bought a credit for the software, by logging into paypal and sending 7 euros (about £4.50ish) to the appropriate email address. Waited 30-40mins and I had an ftp login name and password.
I loaded up the tool, plugged the usb cable into the computer, and then plugged the phone into the computer while pressing and holding 'c' on the phone. The phone was found as a new device and i located & installed the correct flashing drivers which i downloaded earlier in this post. After installation was complete i unplugged my phone. It would not boot now, however removing the battery for 10 seconds sorted this little problem out!
I removed the sim card, replaced the battery, then plugged the phone into the cable while pressing and holding 'c' on the phone. I pressed start on the wotanserver tool, and it connected to my phone, I could now release the 'c' button.
I ensured that the correct region was selected (europe 2 uk, in my case), entered the ftp login information that i recieved via email, checked the finalise box (very important!) and hit the flash (start?) button!!
10 minutes later I had a nice de-branded phone
I filled in all the data & communications information as per the above post on this page. I now have a lovely de-branded K800i on the UK '3' network!!!
The '3' homepage works great through the new PlayNow main menu item. I have not tested mms capabilities though....
Thanks for all your help guys, this worked great! |

I tried it a few days ago, K800i branded by Swedish 3, worked great, and I can use it for all 3 services just as before. I just had to enter the settings available on their site. I like the phone much better now, unbranded.

If you need to re-brand you can probably change your CDA back to the original and do an update from SEUS (this might mean you have to flash with an older firmware using davinci or similar to force SEUS to update). |

This all sounds good ... I reallt dislike the 3 'look' ... especially the folder 'My Stuff' ... really winds ne up ... so (forgive my ignorance) will it just revert back to a basic SE interface ? then all I have to do is get it unlocked ... I want to put my Virgin Sim in the thing ... unless anyone can suggest why I should keep it as 3 ... I've been really happy with Virgin ... Thanks for your time Roger |

I debranded my Vodafone K800i using this and I can still access Vodafone live and Mobile TV.
I had to get the settings resent to my phone from the Sony Ericsson website but other than that it worked a treat.

Where, exactly, did you get the settings? I can access http://live.vodafone.com/ from my K800i (the debrand went without a hitch), but can't get to the mobile TV: it simply says that my streaming settings are wrong. |

You need to make sure the streaming settings in connectivity are set to connect using the Vodafone WAP profile.
