I disallow anyone to copy/modify the tutorial without my written permission. I also disallow uploading the Customize files onto another server.
1. Download files:
-SE Update Service: link
-E10i Generic UK: E10i CUSTOMIZED_UK 1237-0392 10A136
2. Update your phone to SEUS.
3. Go to the following directory: C:\Program Files\Sony Ericsson\Update Service\db13740270\blob_fs .
7. Sort the files by date in descending order.
8. Look at the screenshot: http://img217.imageshack.us/img217/5554/x10deb.jpg .
9. Rename file 1 from the archive to the first file at the top (they should both be similar size (~80mb)
10. Rename file 2 from the archive to the second file at the top (they should both be similar size (~12mb)
11. Now copy both files from the archive into C:\Program Files\Sony Ericsson\Update Service\db13740270\blob_fs. If asked to overwrite, then do so.
12. Run Update Service and update your phone again.
13. After a successful update the phone will be unbranded.

Hi lollylost,
Will doing this prevent the phone from being updated by SEUS in future?
Thanks
Posted by AndyD777
No it wont.

A vrey very big thanks Lollylost to think of X10 mini owners
.
I've just do it and it's marvellous, my X10 mini was branded by orange (France), and now I've got a "real" SE X10 mini without the lot of orange's applications !
Serdecznie dzie

Hello!
Thanks for the info about debranding!
Does you know if the uk firmware has Spanish language?
In case that it hasn't How to obtain a firmware with Spanish (I asked at davinci for which of their firmwares have the spanish generic and they told me that I had to flash with CUSTOMIZED FR, that contains ES language)
Thanks again!

Hi, i did this to my x10 mini, worked a charm - however have just obtained an x10 mini pro, is there likey to be a tutorial / firmware for this any time soon?
Posted by benjymous
I debranded my (Orange UK) X10 mini after I'd already applied an update via SEUS. Since debranding, it's put it back to 10A136 and doesn't acknowledge that there's an update available (it just tells me I'm on the latest version)
Is there a newer debranded version available yet?
Posted by benjymous
Ahh, never mind - despite both PC Companion and the OTA updater telling me I've got the latest version, a run of SEUS finds an update (and apparently won't wipe my personal data this time, unlike when I did the debrand the first time)

The link to the UK firmware appears to be broken
Posted by tranced
No, it isn't.
Posted by Rookwise
It is via my gongle chrome browser. Comes up with Link Appears To Be Broken message. Even tried the link on se-nse with the same result.

This method doesn't work
The update program downloads the files from the internet regardless and overwrites the copied files. I do not know if earlier versions of SEUS worked using this method but 2.10.7.15 def re-downloads the 107 meg regardless.
Any way round this problem?
Posted by Rookwise
Is there a way of doing this for the mini pro ?

Use the following method:

Posted by CrunchBang
Is it possible to debrand the U20i/mini pro using this method? If someone has the Generic UK firmware I'm willing to try.
Posted by schnide
I am another person who would like to know if the Mini Pro can be debranded using this method - there doesn't seem to be any dedicated methods for this phone yet!
Posted by Rookwise
Would really be interested in changing my mini pro's firmware. Just found out that my Pearl White model has Dutch firmware installed. Dont really want to go the Davinci route cos they're hit and miss these days and they're help is useless.
Posted by kanjer
i would love to get mine debranded from vodacon
they have no plans to release FW updates for the mini pro although SE have released 2 since i got the phone!
Posted by djin
Lollylost, pls upload the UK firmware for x10 mini pro
. Thank you.
Posted by Rookwise
Already done mine. Used Davinci in the end with no problems this time.
Posted by kanjer
with davinci can you then use the SE updater for latest firmware?
Posted by kenjibatusai
Can anyone upload the X10a firmware for Americas?
TIA
Posted by vbnmu
+1 for the mini pro. Anyone had any luck? Maybe with 2.1 coming soon we will have a chance.
