O.K. the update finally went well..

I loaded the generic FS and MAIN files, and when i switched the phone on, the phone came up with a message about contacting a service agent. I then downloaded a custom FS file called R8A_W760_CDF_1208_3958__FS__Telstra_Australia. I followed the tutorial and it all worked well.

The only query i have is that it seems to be a telstra file and in the folders there are telstra images etc etc but the phone has no telstra brandings on it which is what i was wanting to get rid of. If the Telstra images are in the file which i loaded onto the phone, why arent they on the phone?

Thanks

you used a generic firmware, but the custom(cda) is from the Tesltra operator.

try to use this: http://se-files.at/A2_DB3150/[....]76__FS___APAC_ANZ__Generic.zip

it doesn't say... does the "a" mean it is for Americas? If thats what you meant then for sure its not the "a"

Thanks for your reply Tranced.

About the custom file you posted, whats the advantage of loading that over the custom telstra one i loaded? the strange thing about the one i loaded is that i looked in the indiviual files and folders and there were telstra emblems and telstra images but my phone doesn't have any og them on there. There is absolutely nothing telstra on my phone.

If i load the one you posted, do i need to load the generic FS file before i load the custom one. Do i need to update the MAIN file?

thanks

the custom from a specific operator contains information about that operator(links, images, etc).

if you upload it, you wont have to do anything else.

the custom from teltra which i uploaded to my phone has no telstra logo's etc although i can see the telstra logo's etc when i open the file up in windows explorer and browse through them.

Strange one.

Anyone got C702's R3EA031 APAC-ANZ free? Coz my internet connection is unstable so I don't think I should subscribe to SEUser's premium account right now.
