Never restore a non native GDFS. You should only use your own GDFS.
I will do my best to help you 
Because the platform sends bogus messages while charging, that is why!!!..But why this change of heart?..We sense a charger connected, oops, we will not shut down after all!!!..*********************** UI BASIC, HOLD YOUR HORSES

Actually, maybe easier. If you can get a GDFS backup of an Austria A1 P1i then I can extract a script from that.

Does unbranding mean the same as unlocking meaning it can unlock the phone from its carrier or unbranding just changes the generic thingy. Because I just paid $10 to unlock my phone. Next time I'll just use this.

@gbrooks3,
Thanks. the singapore version working fine! SE CS asked me to sent me phone to the service center to flash it when i am working in shanghai.
Told me that it cannot be flash back to the old version. Now i know it is all crabs!
you have done SE a favor and you have made the P1i a great phone! |

Is changing CDA completely safe? Is it possible that there is needed customizations for each CDA region - for example - fine tuning for some mobile operator specific problems/features? And changing CDA from region specific code to World Generic will kill all the fine tuning and the phone will be less stable and so on? Sorry if it is known fact. |

in principal what you say is possibly true but in my experience I can't recall ever having an issue with an originally unbranded phone, or with one that I have made these sort of CDA changes to to debrand, on any network... and I travel alot too and use all sorts of networks in different countries

Will this work in unbranding a UK O2 branded P1i to generic/unbranded version of the firmware? I wanna flash to the new R9J005/R6F38 firmware, but the O2 version is not on SEUS yet.
Thanks! |

@gbrooks3 and @Sainty
Thanks for your feedback and effords on this.
I bought my P1 about a 1,5 month ago while I was in Germany.
Although I bought it UNLOCKED from a phone shop the CDA said "TRADE GERMANY" which kind of sounded crappy for me.
So just now I have changed my CDA into WG1 .
Whole procedure ran flawlessly and I didn't have any errors at all.
However I would recommend that you guys always edit the Very First message of this topic when there are new versions of the X++ and other important stuff need announcing. That would really save us time I had to read all 25 pages throughly until I decided to have a go on this CDA unbranding.
Thanks anyway, cool service 
GH337, GH388, GH 688, SH 888, P800, P900, P910 and now P990i and P1i and HTC Touch Pro |

It would be great if an experienced used wrote the guidelines again for XS++ 3.0 beta, since all the scripts are included now and the process is slightly different compared to the detailed guidelines previously in the thread.
It will help all us new users a lot!
Thanks |
