Anyone debranded their P1i yet? I know it's only O2 shipping them at the mo and the branding is not heavy but I noticed they have removed some of the themes and more importantly, the Internet and Email Wizards!
I haven't seen any proof of tomorrow all day!

I should Imagine the methods of debranding the P1i are the same as P990/M600/W950 through Kulankendi and even free via seus, but I don't know if it has been tried yet!?

The o2 branding aint that bad, cant you just get the themes? Hmmm it'll be interesting to debrand it tho.

20euro (20 credits)

No problems encountered. It was straight forward. To check, i have ran SEUS and 're-updated' my p1i and the CDA remained intact.

Read davinci forum as well, since there are 'horror' stories but was corrected by davinci's team in no time.

Use (davinci) at your own risk.

How did you do the re-update? If I run SEUS it tells me - there is no update available. There is NO "continue anyway" button. If I run an older version of SEUS - it updates itself to the newest version.

What SEUS did you use?

Thanks & many greetings

Mine's CDA162022/1 R6D22 Generic World 1 from the beginning.

Don't the SEUS-update routine work with the P1i?

I have used the Davinci client, and it has debranded my handset, BUT I have been left with 2 CDA strings on my handset, has yours got this?

How did you manage to re-update with SEUS, if you have the latest firmware it does not let you re flash

When i ran SEUS, there was the 'Continue anyway' tab, i just clicked and it started to download the software from SEUS and it re-installed on my p1i.

Most strange, I seem to have 2 CDA strings after I have debranded, I have tried to do a master reset, and various other things, but nothing.


I don't get the option to continue anyway in the update service, most strange.

contact davinci, i have read from their forum about a member having 2 CDA strings, saying davinci changed his p1i to p990i, check your p1's System information, you might also have p990i's info placed on your phone.

based on that thread, davinci walk through the member and was fixed. I was reading that thread while my p1i was being debranded by davinci client and i really got scared. good thing nothing happened to my p1i.

I have sent in a request, and I read that forum entry as well, very strange, I mean it seems to work absolutely fine, but it's annoying me as it is untidy.

I'll get it sussed out shortly.

regards
