What are the features that the Generic firmware restores that the Telco's stripped out?

Hi,
I am trying the debranding step by step but the following is happening
1) When I remove the "db" directory from the give location it is created back but with files names starting with
ICON_%
2) When I connect the phone with the back button pressed it states my "Firmware is up to date"
I would like to debrand my phone in order to use the Andriod Market Client
Please any direction / suggestion
Thanks

In SEUS there should be an option to reinstall (repair?) the firmware... As that is what I did

Sort the file by date in descending order (newest first). The top two files will be 100mb+ and ~16mb. In the archive you have two files. Rename file 1 to the 100mb+ file. Rename file 2 to the ~16mb file. Copy the files to the blob_fs folder and update. |

Might be somewhere in the settings. Maybe you need operator's internet settings? The firmware is original SE firmware so I don't think it would remove 3G option. |

Will there be an American firmware for it? I have an X10a so just wondering if there is. Thanks! |
