Need help debranding W995 UK

[ReignHavoK]

Hi,
I bought a unlocked W995 from ebay however it comes with Orange software and I would like to make it generic.
Im not sure which version of firmware to get. I live in the UK not sure if that matters.

Current version installed is: 1215-8017 R1HA035 091210

Thanks!

Hi,first check cid on your phone.If it is up to cid53 then you can do that,if it is cid81 then you have to take it to some unlock/repair shop.

Post here log from A2 uploader latest version.

Thanks for the reply, I downloaded the A2Uploader v5 posted in the sticky and when I try using it I cant get it to work it just keeps sitting on hold "c" and insert USB.

I turned the phone off and removed then replaced the battery. I also tried holding 2+5 instead to no success.

Ok, Thank you so much for your help!
so I dont have to use the R1HA035 version?

[satch1234]

You are welcome,you can use any cid53 version.

Downoad these 3 files and you must extract generic main and FS file from winrar,just right click on winrar file and click extract,choose location...i prefer desktop.

Recharge the battery to at least 50%,wait untill flashing is done then disconnect the phone and reinsert battery,switch it on and wait 2-3 minutes untill it is done.If you want make backup of your pictures or something then do that before flashing because everything will be erased.
