Hello all,

I have a c905 on Orange (UK) and after reading various posts on here, decided to debrand it so I could actually use all of the features!

I started by using the TotalGSM service. This did not work and bricked my phone. After help from them, I managed to revert the software back to the Orange version which did work.

I then tried the Davinci Team service. The first attempt did not work, and again bricked my phone. After a support request, they restored my credits and advised me to use a different software version. I did this and have again bricked my phone. I am still waiting for them to reply to my support request. I would really like to un-brick my phone!

Each time the problem seemed to be the same - all would go fine until it tried to start the file system. This kept failing, and so resulted in it being unable to copy the files accross.

I was wondering if anyone else had similar problems. I have read other Orange users who have completed this OK, so I'm not sure if it is just an Orange problem - or might I have a faulty phone?

Anyone got any ideas?

Thanks,

Alex

Hi Alex, before i sent my previous C905 back to to the "having to turn speaker phone on to listen to people talk" i used the Davinci Team to debrand my phone was £8.50? - it worked first time without any hitches. I was on Orange just like you are too.

However, im hoping theres some cheaper alternatives, because i dont fancy paying 8.50 again, to yet again find there is a fault on my phone.

I have used Total GSM services for both unbranding & unlocking - just y'day (25 Nov 08) for my C905. It was very much successful in the 1st attempt and I did it for the 1st time ever.

The network was Orange UK and used the help as mentioned in the Total GSM forum.

I have also updated the software over-the-air (from SE update servie on the phone) after unlocking and unbranding - and it was breeze too.

Cheers / Rajesh
