Patching/debranding Sony ericsson W890i

[xmasivex]

Hello I'm new to this forum and i own SE W890i. Currently phone has software from my provider (Mobitel, Slovenia) and it's got a lot of it's files(wallpaper, screen-saver, startup screen, etc) and I want to delete all this and have usual software(generic). I looked a lot of tutorials but now i'm confused witch tutorial should i use? The phone is not locked. I don't know what is the difference between patch/debrand/flash. I looked tutorials for A2uploaders but i'm just not sure which tutorial to follow. Also in the Downloads where there are custom files, do you have to put those files up too? Because i saw that there are custom files from Mobitel and i don't know if there would be any diference if i would use those files? And the last thing, i noticed that you were saying that must bi BROWN and what does it that mean? It is brown color but i don't think that's the thing :)
I hope i didn't ask too many questions, please answer something and i hope I'm not spamming.

I looked the download section and don't know which files to use. Do I have to use W890_R1EA030_FS_CENTRAL-EUROPE_RED52 or W890_R1EA030_FS_ADRIATIC_RED52, becuse Slovenia is in both regions and i wonder if Adriatic is more suitable? For Main I was looking for this: W890_R1EA030_MAIN_GENERIC_AK_RED52 or should I use R1EA033 version? And the last I don't know is which custom files to use. If i use custom files of Mobitel i think there will be no difference so which do yo recommend?

Use these files:

1. W890_R1EA033_MAIN_GENERIC_AK_RED52
2. W890_R1EA033_FS_ADRIATIC_RED52
3. K850i_1201-0083_R11A_GENERIC_ADRIATIC

Do not worry for K850 custom file, because W890 use the same custom file !!!


After flashing with A2uploader -> update via SEUS to last version R1FA035.

I solved my problem, I debranded using version R1EA030, on the it was R1FA030 so i changed it with same version. But in Adriatic there is no Slovenian, so I guess i have to use for central Europe. I just want to notify users of W890i that this is the solution if this error occurs.

Use CENTRAL-EUROPE -> en - bs - hr - de - cs - hu - pl - sr - sk - sl
