Yeah apparently that unbranding method works.

[timsweb]

Ok, if it screws up, can i fix it?

[+John Teacake MVC]

Erm, It depends how bad you screw it up.

[timsweb]

i dunno, but if there a chnace it would screw up?

[Elmo]

unless you unplug it half way through flashing

i doubt something could go wrong

[TheElite]

I have got a problem.

When I go to camera settings, then Frames, my phone goes back to the menu.

before i flashed it to the latest version, it used to restart the whole phone. why?

[Sporkguy]

hmm, for some reason Total Multiserver doesnt even load on my system - it just crashes and gives a 'send error report' window :s

Wonder if that's SP2 being an arse?

[Elmo]

got my fone today :D working this time :D

total multiserver works fine here

xp sp2 :D

[Sporkguy]

hmmm odd... no other version of it works either - have you paid for credits yet to unbrand it?

[Elmo]

i havent tried unbranding yet

not sure if i will bother

the orange f/w doesnt really bother me

nothing really wrong with it imo

[Sporkguy]

well i've ordered a t28 servie cable off the faceoffmobiles site, and ive got one credit under my belt - orange branded phone, so i'll give u my feedback once i've tried it out :)

They remove the MyFriends feature... :pinch:

[Elmo]

wot exactly is the my friends feature?

[Sporkguy]

****Flashing Experience****

Ok Guys, I got a T28 service cable and a credit for multiserver off the same site (faceoffmobiles).. about ?20 for both, and low and behold, after following all the instructions on totalserver.net it doesnt work.

I press flash and it asks me to turn the phone on - so I turn it on.

then it sits there...

still asking me to turn on the phone...

nothing more...

When I email the bloke all I get is rude replies treating me like some sort of retarded idiot, surely thats not how you treat paying customers?

So here's a word of advice for anyone wanting to uncustomise their K700i in the UK - DON'T BOTHER WITH TOTALSERVER OR FACEOFFMOBILES.

[timsweb]

Thank you so much for this! I was planning to do it as well, but i guess il go to plan 2, go to the market and get it done there by pro's

[Sporkguy]

Save yourself the money and hassle mate, do go and get it done by the professionals, rather than risk your money by buying credits and cables off cowboys.. sure as hell learnt my lesson from this :mad:

[timsweb]

Yep, Your phone still work though?

[Sporkguy]

Well yeah.. it couldnt even see my phone so it hasn't changed a thing.. just feel a bit light having spent ?20 on the thing tho://

[timsweb]

Yeah i guess, least you still have the phone :D You did the intructions 100% correctly?

[Sporkguy]

Followed them word for word.

and yeah, the phone is still 100% fine, and sexy as ever :D

[Elmo]

[Elmo]

wenever u press the online/orange world button it will open a new sms instead of connecting to wap

[Spyker]
