In this tutorial, i am going to give a rough guide on how to debrand your SE phone (ones with the fastport connection (k750i upwards).

IF THERE IS ANY DATA ON THE PHONE PLEASE BACK IT UP BEFORE YOU START, AS IT MAY NOT BE THERE AFTER DEBRANDING

Before you begin you will need the following:

* DCU-60 USB Cable (which comes with the phone)
* DCU-60 USB flash drivers (download from http://www.wotanserver.com/USBFlashDriver.exe)
* The latest Wotanserver client (download from http://www.wotanserver.com/WotanClient.exe)
* Wotanserver credit ( http://www.wotanserver.com/en/buy.html , 7 Euros per credit)
* A fully charged Phone
It is important to make sure that your Phone is fully charged before flashing as you wouldn’t want it turning off mid-flash!

Fire up the Wotanserver Client and log in.



Turn your phone off, remove your SIM card and memory card (if you have one), then put the battery back in (DO NOT SWITCH THE PHONE ON) and then fire up the Wotanserver client. enter your username and password in the login box. Whilst holding down the ‘C’ (for the w880i, it is the activity menu button, the one above the 'C' button. for the k600i/k608i/v600i, it is the power key) button on your phone connect the DCU-60 cable to the phone and then press ‘Start’. The client should detect the phone. When it has found the phone, let go of the 'C' button. Make sure it has detected the right phone in the box under the start button. If it fails to detect the phone, unplug the cable, then take the battery out for about a minute, and try again.


When the client has detected your phone, the latest firmware should be displayed in the firmware box (the one under the 'europian ftp'. it should show something like R4EA031, which is the latest for the w810i at the time of writing). Leave it as it is, unless you want an old firmware version.


Next, you need to select the CDA string. i chose 'Generic UK'


YOU MUST CLICK FINALIZE, OTHERWISE THE PHONE WILL DISPLAY 'Configuration error. Please contact your network operator or service centre.', AND YOU WILL HAVE TO FLASH THE PHONE AGAIN.

Once you have checked all the right options, Cross your fingers and click on ‘Continue’ and good luck!. It should now download the Flash files for you


Give it 10-15 minutes to do it’s thing and when it notifies you it has finished just close the client down and remove the DCU-60 cable along with the battery for a few minutes. Put it back in and power up.

when you turn the phone on for the first time after flashing it, it will say 'Please Wait' (with a progress bar) for a few minutes while it configures the new firmware.

You now have a newly flashed unbranded phone!


DISCLAIMER:
Please note that by using this guide and/or flashing your handset with new firmware that it is done at your risk and that me or Mobization will not take any responsibility for any damage or data loss you may incur.
