UPDATE:

Having successfully debranded my O2 K700 using the repair/debrand tab and the K7S(ZONE1) and K7D(EU_1) files in total server 1.30 and still being denied the official SE update service, I have just completed the flash procedure again using the upgrade/language tab and the K7S(ZONE1), K7L(EU_1) and K7C(EU_1) R2AA003 files as suggested previously in this thread.

Although the process went without a hitch and the phone is working properly, I still get the "devices from your operator are not supported" message on the SE update service.

So, for me the extra credit seems to have been wasted as @vee suggested.

After first debranding with 1.30 customisation was:

CDA 102286/0 R2A
cxc 125822 1E0W
EU_1

After flashing tonight, the customisation is:

CDA 102286/0 R2A
cxc 125822 R2AA003
EU_1

I wonder whether blocking of SE update service is CDA or IMEI dependant?

Oh well, maybe a solution to the lack of official SE update support will appear in future total server releases.

Cheers,

Col.

Sorry bout this guys but could someone tell me of an 'idiot's guide' to debranding a vodacrap K700? I just keep reading of cables and firmware and stuff but I really havent a clue how to go about doing it!! Ive read the links at Total server but am totally lost in what to do. Would really appreciate a step by step guide to how to do this ie what cables I would need, programs etc... Any advice would be gratefully appreciated. Ta

Anyone knows?

On SE website i found 3 data cables compatible with T28:
1: RS 232; DRS-10
2: RS 232; DRS-11
3: DCU-11


Any of these data cables work as service/unlock cables ? Probably is a stupid question , but ...

@oneill

None of those from the SE website would unlock your phone as they're just data cables, what you need is a service cable.

I got mine from here:

http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/product/1918.htm

I have used it and it works fine, looks well made too. Delivery was quick also.

Cheers,

just to clear things up for once and all... i am not coming back to this thread anymore...

1. I just updated firmware (only *.K7S) file from R2L to R2AA... It disn't eat my credit, but also didn't do what I wanted. Of course that I miss languages now... So even firmware upgrade (for example in future from R2AA to R3A) is not free... you have to upload all 3 files and it will cost you 1 credit.

2. Debranding your phone with version 1.30 will not allow you to use SE US.

You have been warned and I am out of here... Take care

Hello there!
I own a (Vodafone branded) F500i and bought 2 credits and a T28 serial cable to decustomise it from faceoffmobiles. Just one question here: Do I have to unlock the phone first? I don't think it's locked because I don't use a Voda SIM card, that's why I'm asking this. And if I have to unlock the phone, should this be done BEFORE the decustomisation or AFTER?
Anyway, I downloaded TotalServer version 1.30 and the K5S and K5D files needed for this and followed the instructions on the site carefully.
When I pressed Flash however and was asked to press on in the phone nothing happened! I removed the battery and tried again by putting it on and then it worked. It said: "Start signal received, phone detected:K700/K700i/K500/F500i/S700i, sending preloader..." and then "Communication error! The serial speed might be too high! Please try lower serial speed." (Is there a lower speed?)
The cable speed is 115200bps, DTR and RTS enabled and my COM1 port is also configured at 115200 bps, 8 data, 1 stop, no parity, hardware control. I tried COM2 but no luck!
Where is the problem? Could you help me please?
Thank you in advance for your help!
