master reset will not debrand your phone. To get rid of the network customisations the phone has to be flashed with the original SE firmaware!

Not quite. A SyncStation will allow you to update the firmware, but not remove network customisation. I'm not entirely sure how you can achieve this on a K700i. I'm pretty sure that the terminator dongle method will *not* work.

to unbrand one of the new ARM based phones, you either need a piece of expensive equipment or use one of the "loggers" e.g. Total multi server.

However terminator users, stay tuned.

Because the platform sends bogus messages while charging, that is why!!!..But why this change of heart?..We sense a charger connected, oops, we will not shut down after all!!!..*********************** UI BASIC, HOLD YOUR HORSES

Then, i see, i must...
1. Have T28 service cable
2. Total Mulitserver (What is this credits? How to get one?)
3. Firmware.
It's all? I searched forum, and "found" answer to my problems in one of links but it fails (link failes). Then, i must only connect cable to phone, chceck ports, download firmware, language and customization file, click Flash, turn on phone and... wait? Did i good understand? Can i buy credits in Poland?

PS. Please don't scream at me, i really seraching forum from two hours and don't found anything good. And my phone is no from operator (T-Mobile branded, R2A041 Firmware), but from auction and when i bought it i don't know it is branded.
