Hi all
Let me clarify first that I tried searching this topic before creating a new post. I did not find anything to my specific question.
I have a Rogers branded X10.
I used the Proyaz video on Youtube to root my phone. Now my phone's model number shows X10i and the Build number shows R2BA020.
I want to unbrand my phone as well. I have found a couple of guides to debrand the phone but my question is will it work on my phone since its now rooted? Also because it now shows X10i as the model number do I download files for X10a (North America) or X10i (Most of Europe and Asia)? I am in Canada myself.
Any help would be greatly appreciated...

hey, 1st of all u havent mentioned that u originally had x10a or x10i? considering that ur location is canada, chances are ur riding on x10a,(Pl check it b4) as far as i know, for debranded ur phone u ill need a custom rom and then root it...so i ill say, follow the bin4ry's method in devlopment forum and then u can end up having a debranded phone along with rooted one..if u dont care about root, then u can try picking one of the roms in jerlepelea's forum in devloper section and flash it...hope this answers ur ques..
The chances are you have already debranded your phone as you've obviously flashed the X10i rom to it, your issue is getting back to X10a, so read some of the threads in the development section.
I have the same question as well (also with Rogers), but instead, I used the one-click root apk to root my x10. I want to know if I can still debrand my phone somehow..because it obviously isn't debranded yet..I still see that annoying Rogers logo when I start up my phone..anyone know? Or should I unroot then debrand??

Hi Geniuses Member
i've got hero locked in orange network,but i unlocked my device
my question is that i'm planing to root my device because i need to install another rom,itis that could be?
i'm able now to install just orange rom because when i go to htc website to install Different rom They ask me for serial number behind the battry and my serial ability just for orange rom so i can downlod another rom.
so please help me if there any way to install oregnal rom because orange rom update is rubbish
Just try this...http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=552591
There is nothing wrong with the Orange update. TBH the codebase will be the same apart from a few customisations needed to use the Orange network.

Erhm, hi, i'm new in the forum and i hope i can explain properly what i have done so far and what i want to achieve posting my question here.
Basicaly i bought an used samsung galaxy ace s5830 in London it was a ''3'' locked phone. I am now in Brazil and after searching a little i was able to root the phone, get the unlock code but when i take the sim card out of the cellphone and insert the new one it doesn't ask for the unlock code, after searching in this post : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192122 i read something about changing the rom in my cellphone, one that has the unlock screen. Ok, now i have some questions :
1- I looked around for some firmwares, like this site http://www.samfirmware.com/ in the galaxy ace section the firmwares were divided in regions, europe, america, asia, i know brazil is in america but it was writen usagalaxy, basicaly i want to know if i have to use the europe firmware only to get the unlock screen and then switch to a brazil firmware or if i can go to a ''brazilian area firmware'' directly
2- The posts about roms dont usualy talk about this, do you know a rom that is samasung ace compatible and has the unlock screen in it?
Thank you so far
I think you need some version of Latin America...I'm from Costa Rica...try a stock ROM for s5830L...

I don't understand what do you talk about unlock screen? Please explain me more

Hello,
I've been a couple of weeks trying to understand how this all works. I have an Xperia S from Movistar (Spain) unlocked by imei. It is a LT26i serie 1257-5612.
I tryed to update it through SonyMobile, but it just updates de firmware. What about the OS?? I just want to kick out of my device all staff from Movitar and get the virgin ICS ROM running, so what can I do??
Please, I'm just tired of reading and readin thousands of posts with different ways, steps variants and so on. Is there anyone that can tell me what are my choices and exactly what to do?
THANKS!
If your current system does not include anything you need and can't get otherwise, f.e. APN data or something like that, just grab a generic ICS image and flash it with flashtool. For what it's worth, I had the same problem with my german provider and it worked for me.
Sorry, can't link you, am still under 10 posts

First root the locked device with CF Root using Odin (see my signature item 1) than unlock the phone with Voodoo Sim unlock tool in Playstore, after it is unlocked flash this fix with cwm recovery from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1802951.
-Edit- It seems voodoo Sim unlock tool is temporarily removed from Playstore, keep an eye on it though, it will be back because it is beeing updated for newer firmwares.
For now call your provider and ask for the sim unlocking key.
You can also unlock your phone here http://www.sammobile.com/unlock/index.php?phone=I9300 , it costs 15 euro (creditcard or paypal) and you need to be rooted before the unlock.
Hi,
As I'm new to the area, sorry if I'm posting in the wrong place.
I bought a SII from UK (T-Mobile unlocked) and have been using it in Turkey. Yesterday, as JB wasn't available for T-Mobile UK yet, I downloaded 4.1.2 for Vodafone UK. After installing it, my device began asking network unlock PIN. (I should have downloaded an unbranded ROM, I learned it later.)
I rooted the phone for the first time and tried to unlock it with Galaxy Sim Unlock, but no good. I installed back the 4.0.4 for T-Mobile, but the problem continues.
Now I'm stuck with the phone. Any help, direction, lead to relevant forums would be appreciated. (The ones I searched and read was above my knowledge.)
Here is the screenshot showing the details of the phone.
What can I do without losing the IMEI, etc. information?
Thanks,

with basic knowledge you can't do much...
btw - did you try all unlocking apps from market??
No, just Galaxy Sim Unlock. All the time, I was reading about similar problems and when I saw about the EFS backup requirement, I stopped trying. And looked for more experienced support, here. I didn't want to mess up IMEI as it would cause lots of trouble.
Sure, it takes time to learn but if it'a phone which serves every communication, time urges. So, will keep on reading and find something.
By the way, as going back to ICS didn't help, I thought it would be better to be on JB if I could unlock the phone. Now I have this on my phone (again unrooted):
Baseband version: I9100XXLS8
Kernel version: 3.0.31-889555
[email protected]#3
...
Build Number
JZ054K.I9100XWLSJ
When I was trying to find a way to root, I saw different kernels but I couldn't understand the exact one I needed. From what I read here: "http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103399", I have to use a kernel with LSJ. Is it true?

You flashed a branded ROM on an unbranded phone.

i went through the same ordeal! download galaxsim unlock from xda! it worked for me after trying a whole buch of other ones including galaxsim unlock 1.43. good luck!
I'm sure it was a stupid thing to do but give to the long time waiting for JB and getting another ICS. But the phone wasn't unbranded totally, I hated that T-mobile animation on every boot.
Just one thing, as I asked above, can you suggest a kernel to root. I gave the information above and I was confused with the many options to choose among. I'm not sure which one is for me.
Re: [Q] Phone locked after JB
Flash unbranded jb.
If it's still blocked get galaxysim unlock, it's free here at xda.

Solved-thanks.
I solved the problem with the method vanisleryan suggested. I installed unbranded jb as you said. Thanks everyone.
