Balls - followed guide. Worked perfectly - phone unbranded.
However, I then restored the back-up - i.e. contacts, etc.
When it restarted, i got the "phone startup failed contact the retailer" error. I have tried all the things I can think of, including a hard format ("*"+"3"+"Call button"), without any joy - I think it has reformatted, as no longer asking for pin code. But still the same error.
Any other ideas, or am I going to have to send this off to Nokia to get this sorted? It was on Vodafone UK originally, but I am assuming that since I have unbranded, they won't want to know.
Any ideas?
Cheers

Problem solved. If anyone else experiences this problem, in order for the 'hard format' to work, it appears that you need to release the 4-key combination as soon as the Nokia screen appears. You will then get taken to the screen where you input the country, set the time, etc.
Thanks again do dogmann for posting the guide, and everyone who has contributed.
Cheers

Hi all
I have updated the original post as IMO it is not advisable to restore a backup once you have updated and changed the product code as it can cause problems.

Hi, I followed the guide but it didn't debrand the phone, it still has oranges crap all over it :'(
When I chose read, it came up with my product code, so I thought if I didn't need to change the code, why did I have to click write? What else is written to the phone? I clicked write anyway, and all seemed OK.
After reading the guide again, I realist that I should I have changed this to a generic code.
I have looked at the product codes here...
http://www.esato.com/board/viewtopic.php?topic=162207
but I don't know which one I should use, maybe 0549174: EURO-1 ?
currently my phone is this...
0566152 RM-313 N82-1 (Black) Orange UK
It came with the latest firmware already installed 20.0.062, but the Nokia Software Updater let me reinstall it (after a failed first attempt, very scary lol)
(this didn't fix the prob I have with the music player. It just hangs, saying opening) I only got the phone yesterday :'(
Hope you can help
Thanks
EDIT: OK, I couldn't wait any longer lol, so I went with 0549174 and I think it worked because the main screen layout has changed, but I still have the orange photo icon in the menu which I cant delete :/
Also, all my contacts are still on the phone, and my wi-fi settings are still there, does this mean that it did not update, even though NSU said that it had?
And the music player is still freezing :'(

Hi spanky,
Well if you still had all that Data and the Orange icon still there i would say it hasn't changed.
I would suggest starting at the beginning again and taking it slow, first check in NSS that the product code has changed to the one you want. If not change it and write it to the phone then check again by reading the phone as there is no point in doing anything else until it has been changed.
Then re flash it and it should be as a brand new device make sure the battery has a good charge and is plugged in and charging whilst you flash it and be patient and let it finnish before you touch it again, good luck .
Marc

Still no joy, NSU says that the phones software has bee successfully updated, but really it hasn't. Only the main screen layout has changed, and keylock has been switched on!
Looking in the phones device manager, it says that the phone has not been updated 
I checked that the product code had been changed from the first time, and it had. So I changed it back to the original, restarted the phone, then changed it to 0549174 again, checked it, restarted the phone, and did the update again. No joy
Tried updating with no sim, and with the phone in off-line mode but nether of these are allowed by NSU, also tried it with an orange pay as you go chip in there, but that didn't change anything ether. So I think it's safe to say that it has f**k all to do with the sim card? lol
Would trying another code be worth a shot, or is it not updating because I already have the latest firmware?
What codes could I try?
Which of the Euro codes is for the UK?
If I get it wrong, does it change the language?
This is driving me nuts

Hi Mr[Nik]
Sorry no idea as i haven't had a N95 8GB since January so am out of touch with that device, i would suggest Google is your friend.
@spanky 69
Really not sure what is going on but does it show a different firmware or just the same number to reinstall? Yes if you change to certain product codes it will change the languages just make sure you have one that has english. Sorry i can't be of more help but i don't have your phone and have never had any problems similar to yours. In fact i just changed my E90 back from an APAC code to generic UK code and flashed to the latest firmware without any trouble at all.

I've come across a slight problem with debranding my N82, I've understood the guide you've wrote with no problems, however when i've got round to update my software with nokia software updater; it's saying i've already got the latest software, is there anyway to force the same software so im able to debrand my phone?
Also, i've changed my product code in NSS, will this affect my phone if i didnt flash new software?
