Hi there..!

I have a Sony Ericsson W660i and I want to remove the Vodafone from it.. So the first idea was to format it..

If there are any other solutions except this let me know..

hi

you want to get it unbranded. all you have to do is flashing it with a generic firmware or pay to wotan, kulankendi, davinci or setool to get it done for you.

Thnx to both of you, but where do I have to go to see the phone's firmware CDA numbers..? I am at the service menu, then..? Also I 'd like you to tell me where can I download the finalization files after this code and how do I know that my code suits to this specific file..?

This will help you debrand the phone.

See my flashing tutorial from the link tranced gave to you earlier "phone flashing tutorial XS++"...

Then download these files from here:

http://www.4shared.com/file/3[....]001_FS_MEDITERR_RED52.html?s=1

http://www.4shared.com/file/3[....]MAIN_GENERIC_FY_RED52.html?s=1

Once you have the MAIN and FS archives, unpack them and then flash your MAIN and FS firmware using XS++ tutorial... Check the customize filesystem box at the same time and select the CDA which has the word mediterr in it's name... (actually this is explained in the tutorial)

p.s. if prompted to upgrade to CID52, click yes because this firmware is for CID52 w660...

And then select your CDA and phone model...

For CDA select the option that has the word mediterr in it's name (after the CDA numbers) if you are using the firmware files I gave you above...
