hello everyone,
not quite sure if im posting this under the right subject area but im having a frustrating time with debranding my phone. so i got my c905 a week ago and ive been trying to debrand it ever since. however, everytime i upload the "customize upgrade" file on my phone using "a2uploader" and the SEUS updating software, the update service says i already have the latest firmware. Ive used the codes generated by CDA file generator for pretty much all regions(america, western europe, etc) but i sitll havent had any luck. can someone help me figure out a way to get around this. can't i just manually delete that "latest firmware" that's blocking my way?
thanks!!

life saver!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
okay, so i followed all the instructions and flashed it with a2 tool but there are some minor glitches and stuff like internet connectivity; it says it needs to install some missing settings but can't connect to the net.
i used the following firmwares:
C905_RIDA032_MAIN_GENERIC_SI_RED53 and
C905_RIDA032_FS_AMERICA_RED53
how do i go about fixing those and if these firmwares arent correct, which ones should i use instead to get the most out of my phone, like wifi, youtube, gps, etc?
