Is it possible to rebrand a K608i from 3 into a V600i on Vodafone? I want to use the Vodafone live services and have managed to get a K608i cheap.

I believe it's possible, yes. You'll need to take the phone to someone with a tool that can read out the FileSystem info from a V600i and flash it to your phone.

Someone with a sound knowledge of phone flashing in your area should be able to help you.

indeed, the only way to get v fw is to read the files out, 3 and voda fw are nowhere to get from.

I have tried debranding it using davinci but keep getting an error. I have contacted davinci and am awaiting a reply.
