Hi,

I'm looking at paying to debrand my 02 C905.
I assume this is a full list of firmwares?
http://davinciteam.co.uk/C905_en_index.html

Which one should I use?

What does CID52 / CID110 mean?

Thanks

Floob.

Use A2Uploader and this customize_upgrade.xml (Western Europe)

Link: http://rapidshare.com/files/186690781/customize_upgrade.rar.html

Copy it to 'tpa/preset/custom' in A2Uploader

Shutdown FSManager, turn on phone, should see it says please wait, quickyl at boot up. then turn off

Use SEUS, update is available

Debranded after update!

Can you expand on this bit?
Copy it to 'tpa/preset/custom' in A2Uploader

What 'mode' should the phone be in - mass storage?

I'm following this guide
http://www.esato.com/board/viewtopic.php?topic=178734

but cant seem to get the A2 uploader to connect to the phone - the bar scrolls along the bottom of the app but doesnt connect.

Would there really be any point in me going from R1BA042 Hong Kong (generic) to R1BA042 Western Europe (generic)?

Hong kong, wester europe, generic and etc... The firmwares are the same... You can change it. But the menu and t9 languages in the mare different. So you have to make sure which languages you need and choose the proper firmware that suits your language needs the best. I think there was a list of languages for all firmwares on www.topsony.com (not sure if there is for A2 phones, but give it a look, you may find some info useful).
