I just debranded mine with no problems at all. I went from 0595585 UK T-Mobile to 0584245 Euro. I already had 031.023 installed on my phone but I hated the T-mobile stuff that came with it so re-installed the generic version after changing the product code using NSS.

Can anyone confirm that the debranding of an E72 to the latest firmware 31.023 worked?

Hy guys,
I wish to debrand my E72 so I can update to new Firmware version 031.023

Has anyone done it? Maybe Zide has problem with new firmware version 031.023 which maybe prevents from debranding so even hard reset doesn’t work?

I tried to debrand a T-Mobile phone, and I bricked it also. This hard reset did not work for me… Neither flashing it with Phoenix or JAF…

Hi everyone, was looking to get rid of my Vodafone firmware as it was not allowing to sync my mail (i am on O2). Thank you for all the details in here as i managed to debrand my e72.

Just to clarify a couple of things if it helps others.

Follow all the procedures as described above by others. Mine got stuck on the ‘test’ screen. I pulled out the battery and turned it on, but it went back on the old firmware. I did a hard reset after taking the battery out, then the phone booted back onto the unbranded firmware. Or maybe the firmware update actually removes all the network related crap.

Anyways, thanks guys.

Hi, NSS a doddle to use and software upgrade went very well AFTER I decided to use my PC to update software as every time I tried with the laptop (XP pro SP3) it froze leaving me in a right panic as NSU suggested that removing USB lead not good. However updated in minutes with PC (XP pro SP2). Hard reset afterards returned phone with 22.007 and all photos but no SMS or contacts which were restored from a recent back-up. Happy as Larry and phone seems faster. Thanks all. Adam

You only need to perform a hard reset IF you run into boot issues after the firmware update.

In terms of the backup, it should be fine you are not backing up “bricked settings” – your phone is working fine when you back it up, so therefore the backup should be fine.

Once the phone has had a hard reset, just restore…
Mine worked perfectly apart from an icon or 2 missing and an app or 2 had icons but would not launcg so just installed them again..
