I debranded my phone and now I am unable to send ordinary text messages. It is missing altogether from the new message menu (I have been hammered for send loads of MMS messages over new year!)!
I guess I am missing some simple settings, does anybody know them?
PS I am on Orange. I debranded with the Western European software and have reinstalled it a couple of times just to make sure it wasn't a dodgy installation. |

Your customize_upgrade.xml doesn't contain any regional information?
IE. Western_europe. etc
Just the CDA Number

Yes that's right, it is just a CDA number but it is read as Western Europe.
Is this something to do with the problem I am getting? |

Not sure, can't be the reason if other people have done it this way?
I know i debranded my W910i, but the XML File had loads more in

Its simple basically.
Tyhe CDA is a code which SEUS recognises and tells the server to download what firmware.
If you switch your CDA with the western europe generic, for the phone, then the phone triggers the server to download the generic not the branded.
You should keep a note of your CDA, then if problems arise with the phone, create anotehr XML with the original CDA and paste it back, update via SEUS, and it will give you back the branded firmware.
Not too hard to follow tbh

Edit:
try flashing your phine back with branded software and see if the sms works tehn.
I got this list off the net fro C905 CDA's, not sure if its correct id double check before doing.

I am having trouble debranding a T-mobile C905.
I have used the guide shown (and thank you so much for that), all goes ok, I copy over the .xml file, check it's on the phone by reconnecting A2, it is there, quit, turn phone on, turn phone off, battery out, connect to SEUS, choose phone and it tells me "update not available".
Where may I be going wrong ?
Thanks for any help.

what does your xml say?
For western europe, C905 It show show:
CDA - 1209-4774
language-variant-name>WESTERN-EUROPE
This Xml should work for the C905, Dont hold me responsible if it doesn't, pretty sure it should
C905, Western Europe.:

Nope.
It is a brand new phone, arrived today.
Unlocked it no problem.
I did notice a custom.xml file in the directory that I am pasting the custom_upgrade.xml file (I assume that should be there).
I am right to be powering the phone on and then off after transferring the .xml file, before using the SEUS aren't I ?
Thanks muchly. |
