In C:\\Program Files (x64)\\Sony Ericsson\\Update Service\\db\\13740270\\blob_fs

Do you have a file around 370 bytes if you list them by size (give or take 30 bytes)?

You have only one try. If the flashing process starts and fails then you have a high chance of becoming the owner of a paperweight =).

There is a big difference in terms of file between simfree and Vodafone firmware.

verryyyy interesting !

I bought an O2 one on Ebay coz I didn't want a branded Voda one (which I've just received.. I now have 3... :S )

If you can debrand this easily, I'll be very very happy.

also.. what do you lose when you upgrade firmware?

I've set mine up quite nicely now (contacts linked to fb, new keyb, ringtones etc).. will the bassband update not affect this?
