I noticed davinci is now offering this change as "testing only" I am kind of thinking of taking the jump as most of the hardware is the same.
Anyone care to take the plunge?

Where on the site do you see this?. I can't find it.

I would like to do this but unfortunately Rogers won't be supporting my Unlimited Browsing anymore since the phone model will be changed:(

I am debranded also but you will lose the Unlimited Browsing if you crossflash to C902. It will register on Rogers systems as C902, which at this time, is a non-supported phone by them

As far as I know they still do not do serial registering because I used a BB 8320 for 6 months and never paid for data either and it was not a rogers phone.

Before this phone I had an iPhone. I used a IMEI hack which cloned my phone as another Rogers phone. Recently, Rogers updated their system to support both Phone ID and IMEI tracking. Just check hofo and you can see the IMEI hack has been disabled

This means that although Rogers will see a correct IMEI, the Phone ID will be different. I'm just saying be careful:)

I'm new to the SE scene but not Rogers:)

Forgot to say the reason why you didn't incur extra data is because the Curve is a Rogers supported phone, its in their line up. The C902 is not, which means its not supported. Once Rogers adds the C902, we will be able to crossflash with no worries

That would be great but how do we explain the fact I'm using a htc tynn II and not incurring charges for data either, its an at&t phone.

Oh man, that would be so cool if the C902 firmware would work on a K850i...
At least we'll won't have to wait for a firmware fix for K850i then!

SEUS still doesn't show the new Rogers firmware for the K850i. I'm also planning on debranding ... I'm not sure if Rogers Device ID & IMEI tracking support the FULL IMEI # - or just the first few that identify the country and device & manufacturer digits. If its the latter then an unlocked factory fresh K850i would support the Vision Browsing $7/mth unlimited data.

@SupermansZ24, you debranded your Rogers subsidized K850i??

Prom1- Yep, I debranded my phone the day I got it:). $7 browsing plan works perfect but the Vision software obviously doesn't work because its not loaded into the phone anymore.

It doesn't matter, nobody I know has a video calling capable phone anyways:P
