Flashing & Debranding with SETool 2 Lite

[CarbonR]

do i lose warranty with rogers if i unbrand my phone?
and if i mess up what happens? can it be corrected if i mess up?

Yes, you lose your warranty...only if Rogers see your phone unbranded.
It's very easy to do this stuff. You need only the correct firmwares and custom and upload them as it says. And do your GDFS backup first.
There's always risk like energy cut, or pc failure that could damage your phone, but that's not related to flash.

And if you want your Rogers stuff again, just flash it again with Rogers custom.

Ive been sitting at the screen with the green status bar scrolling in setool2lite now for about 15 mins... Not sure if I did this right. I followed step-by-step.

Very interesting, am going to try this when i get home from work. i am scared to try and run this through wine or even vmware.. might have to install windows

Thanks Griffin for the great instructions--debranding went off without a hitch. However, I am not able to do MMS either. The link you provided gives a "No settings available for the current selection." when you fill in the menus for USA-->ATT--> W580i. Any thoughts?

Can someone please list the files i would need to do this with a w810i?

[unrealgk]

ay guyes i need some reassurance about doing this.. are there any downsides or negatives about deb randing the phone..

My unbranded W580i is so much better that the ATT version was. The added themes alone are worth the effort, and mine went off without a hitch!

Thanks again!
