Flashing/Debranding Nokia Phones

DavinciTeam TutorialsWhile the step-by-step flashing tutorial on our main site covers the basic instructions to flash/debrand your phone, we’re often asked for more particular details. From basic questions to advanced ones, we’re here to offer answers!

What is the benefit of debranding? Debranding means to flash generic firmware straight from a manufacturer like Nokia as opposed to from a provider like Vodafone. Providers add their branding, links, logos and restrictions to the firmware of phone’s they release, so effects range from eyesores like ugly boot logos to real loss of use through feature restrictions that suit the provider. With DavinciTeam’s service you can quickly and easily flash generic firmware to the phone, eliminating all of the irritations of provider firmware.

Does debranding unlock my phone? No, changing the phone’s firmware will not SIM unlock your phone. DavinciTeam does not currently offer unlocking services for Nokia phones (unlocking by code is available for users on the AT&T network in the United States).

Use this simple set of instructions and accompanying video to get a feel for the flashing process with DavinciTeam:

  • Open an account. Flashing costs 10 credits (10 EUR, about $15 USD); you can purchase with us quickly and easily by visiting our secure shopping area. Your account is created the moment payment is sent and you’ll receive your account details via email instantly.
  • Install the USB flash drivers. This package of drivers is vital, allowing your computer (and our software) to recognize your phone and work with it. Download the driver package here and then run the .exe file and follow instructions to install.
  • Download our client software. Our client is the interface you use to perform any action on your phone. You can download the client here; log in with your new account details when you run it. Note that some users of Windows Vista and Windows 7 may need to run the client software with admin rights; you can do this by right-clicking client.exe locally and selecting “Run as administrator”.
  • Connect your phone. Power the phone off and plug the USB cable into the phone with the client open. Select “PC Suite” on the handset when prompted and allow the client a moment to recognize your phone.
  • Select your service. From the service menu that pops up select “Flash/Debrand/Rebrand”.
  • Choose your firmware. Highlight a firmware version in the list provided; use the filter boxes to narrow your search. Note that all version labeled “GENERIC” or “CUSTOMIZED” are generic and unbranded.
  • Press GO. Click the “GO” button to get the flash started and allow the client to do its thing. That’s it, enjoy your freshly customized phone!

Flashing/Debranding Sony Ericsson Phones

DavinciTeam TutorialsUse this simple tutorial to quickly and easily flash your phone in order to debrand, rebrand, update or fix a firmware error!

What does it mean to debrand? Put simply, Sony Ericsson creates and releases firmware (software for a phone) when they release a new model. Before service providers (e.g. AT&T, 3, O2, et al) receive a phone to release from Sony Ericsson, they also receive the firmware for the phone. The provider then edits that firmware to include their own logos, apps and restrictions and put it on the phones they release before selling them. Debranding means to flash the original Sony Ericsson firmware to your phone, in the state it was released generically (that is, before the provider edited the firmware to add logos, apps, restrictions, etc).

What is the benefit of debranding? Debranding means to flash generic firmware straight from a manufacturer like Sony Ericsson as opposed to from a provider like Vodafone. Providers add their branding, links, logos and restrictions to the firmware of phone’s they release, so effects range from eyesores like ugly boot logos to real loss of use like AT&T’s blocking of WiFi in the C905. With DavinciTeam’s service you can quickly and easily flash generic firmware to the phone, eliminating all of the irritations of provider firmware.

Does debranding unlock my phone? No, changing the phone’s firmware will not SIM unlock your phone. That is a separate process offered by DavinciTeam for most phones; please click here for more information.

Use this simple set of instructions and accompanying video to get a feel for the flashing process with DavinciTeam:

  • Open an account. Flashing costs 10 credits (10 EUR, about $15 USD); you can purchase with us quickly and easily by visiting our secure shopping area. Your account is created the moment payment is sent and you’ll receive your account details via email instantly.

Note that some users of Windows Vista and Windows 7 may need to run the client software with admin rights; you can do this by right-clicking client.exe locally and selecting “Run as administrator”.
  • Install the USB flash drivers. This package of drivers is vital, allowing your computer (and our software) to recognize your phone and work with it. The flash drivers can be downloaded via the “Drivers” menu in the DavinciTeam software.
  • Connect your phone. With the phone fully charged and powered off and with your memory card (if any) removed, hold down the “C” button on your phone while plugging the USB cable into your computer (Satio owners hold green “call” button, Xperia owners hold the right-hand button). Allow the client a moment to recognize your phone and present the service menu.
  • Select your service. From the service menu that pops up select “Flash/Debrand/Rebrand”.
  • Choose your firmware. Highlight a firmware version in the list provided; use the filter boxes to narrow your search. Note that all version labeled “GENERIC” or “CUSTOMIZED” are generic and unbranded.
  • Press GO. Click the “GO” button to get the flash started and allow the client to do its thing.

That’s it, enjoy your freshly customized phone!
