I am going to debrand my phone, but one thing is bothering me. So I have a question...
If something happens to my phone in the future and I need to send it off for repair, is there away for me to revert back to the original T-Mobile branding before I send it?
Thanks in advance

Hi all, tonight my Hero has bust! The bottom of the screen won't work so I understand its going to have to go back to T-Mobile as its a contract phone.
Its got a Modaco rom on it - do I need to flash it back to the original ROM?
if you're going to take it back, i'd flash it with a stock rom with no root. As im pretty sure that voids your warranty or something...
Flash it with the latest Tmobile update there is then.
Since they will expect their own branding on the phone.
I'm buying the Atrix tomorrow.
here is what i need to know
I'm paying retail $499 so i can not afford to brick my phone
so need help avoiding this
1) i am unlocking the phone to put on my T-Mobile pre-paid account
what flash and mods will hurt me if i use them ?
2) are there any OTA updates i need to avoid because i will mod this phone OR it will be of no use to me !
3) what is deodexed and do i need it ? (says AT&T only does this mean an AT&T phone or AT&T service (IE: no unlocked phones running on T-Mobiles network?)
thanks

i need to head out in an hour
Hey there guys. I bought my girlfriend a galaxy s2 off the bay, and its locked to orange. She is on O2, the ebay advert didn't state the phone was locked. Anyway, i have tried everything i could to unlock the phone and had no luck. Even took it to a shop but they had no joy either.
My last chance now is to take it to orange personally and see what they can do but i want to restore it to its original condition first as I initially rooted the phone and installed litening rom on it. So, just wondering, how do i unroot the phone and then put all the original orange branding/rom back on?
Really need your help guys, and really appreciate it

Hey,yeah ive seen that thread and it makes no sense whatsoever!
The thing is, I have tried chainfires unlock app which didn't work, and isn't that app based on that unlock method in the thread you linked? So it prob won't work
So again guys, how do unroot and get all the original orange branding and firmware back on the phone. There must be a way surely?
Really desperate guys
Go and flash a stock rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1113928&highlight=orange
I flashed my phone back to stock a while ago not realising i flashed it with tmobile france software then did an OTA upgrade to gingerbread and it stayed as tmobile france, meaning now my phone always thinks im roaming lol
iv found an old tmobile UK sbf file which is the 2.2.2 older software version and im planning to sbf flash it then do another OTA update which will hopefully put me on gingerbread tmobile UK
im just asking to see if this is a a safe thing to do or could i brick my phone by downgrading sbf files etc...? thanks!
NO.
No, nope, nonononononono.
No.
why not? please explain lol i dont want to ruin my phone
LOL no problem. The "One Guaranteed Way in the Whole Wide World" to brick your phone is to SBF flash to an older version than what you're on currently.
Unfortunately I don't have any experience in getting different carrier's firmware; just didn't want to see your phone get screwed in the process.
ah i see thank you, i guess il just leave it and get over the annoying roaming symbol then! haha what would happen if i flashed over it with a UK version of the same software?
I guess my question would be: are you actually being charged for roaming? If so, I might change your title to ask how to get back on UK Tmobile -- someone else might have some better ideas.
nope i dont think i am just get an annoying popup all the time saying im roaming when im not and okay ill try to do that thanks
I got a new Desire S
But after update to 2.3.5 , all the keyboards removed.
So I took it to the guarantee servise and they told me that they will install a new original (stock) rom on my phone and everything will be solved.
Now they say it is done and I must go to get my phone.
How can I check if they have rooted the phone or not?
Also, how can I check if the installed ROM is stock or not.
Please help it is urgent
Thanks in Advance
