Repair/stroke update, same thing. It reinstalls the whole software anyway.
You need to do that then rename the files that you downloaded from the first post, then rename those files with the same as shown in the screen shot on the first post. Copy them over and overwrite the original files. Then follow the process again and do another update/repair like the first time. |

Settings > About Phone > R1FA016 is the latest firmware. If it reads 014 (I think) then you still have a previous build.
As for debranding, you should have PlayNow and SE Sync in the menu, and no network provider icons such as Vodafone360, etc. |

R1FB001 is newer than R1FA016 and the Vodafone UK on your desktop? you mean like an icon? where does it lead? delete it?

I thought latest generic UK firmware was R1Fa016? When did it update?

as far as i know SE is slowly getting the 020 update availible, Telenor has got it, and UK Generic, that is all i know, i still wait to get it (I am on Nordic Generic)

So it's OK to change from Vodafone, to Generic UK (which I have done) then to Generic NCB?
Are there any major language changes from UK to NCB?

you should stick to Generic UK i think. the changes are region based languages and stuff. nordic symbos like åäö

Looks like it can only be done if you root the phone. |

Yes, if you saved the original files elsewhere and with the original files names. |
