But why do you need it?

Hello and welcome to the forum....
Root is where you get access to all file system on the phone and you can use apps that needs that like setcpu there you can control the cpu
Debranding is when you buy a phone from o2 there is apps from the provider on the phone and with debranding you will get a genetic firmware on the phone from sony ericsson without all the provider software
Oh so root is just to get to the core of the phone? Or is it something like iphone jailbreak?
For debranding why would people dont want the provider software? It cant be deleted?

yes root is like iphone jailbreak.....
People debrand there phones, becuase many provider software is slow and the software update from provider takes long time....
the provider software can't be deleted
How do you know which is the provider software?

here in denmark we have hi3g as a provider and on a mini from them there is a planet3 app and mobiletv and then we turn on the phone it shows a boot screen with 3 and thats is branding
Oh so if there isn't anything that shows at the start then its not been branded?

when you dont need it or use it you can debrand it
Rooting
Sorry to open this topic up again, but I want to root and debrand my phone.
Is there a specific order I should do it in? Or will rooting allow me to debrand?
I think Custom ROMs are already debranded, but I'm not sure. For Rooting, use a program called SuperOneClick, google it and you'll easily find it.

[Q] IMEI 000000... but mobile works fine. Should I try to fix it or not?

I unlocked my phone (well, my mum's ) and it works perfectly. Everything does. It received SMS, calls, and so can the mobile send calls or messages. During the whole process the IMEI was OK (the same before and after) BUT! after restarting the mobile it switched to 0000000000 but it works. So, is it better to ignore it?
Thank you, friends!
Your IMEI is gone . That means you will have no way of finding your phone if it gets stolen.
Ace-ing all tests.

Which box to use for imei repair?

Hi, can someone please tell which box should I buy now to change/repair IMEI number for S3 I9300? As I have read Z3X doesn't have full support at the moment, so which one then? Octopus, SPT?
P.S. I'm not asking for the information on how to do it, I'm only asking for advice on boxes. I know that its illegal in some countries but its not legal in my county
Thank You
anyone please? I'm just asking for a box advice, just tell me please which box is supported by S3 i9300
Have you made an EFS-back up?

LOVVL we cannot understand your post .
Are you asking should you repair it that's your choice .to make
If you are saying is it worth a repair or have you done more damage only a service centre can say .

S3 or 9100? Thats Two different phones there!
Check your imei and report back.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
Have you tried going into mobile networks settings and ensure your APN (Access Point Names) are set correctly? In rare cases, these may have been resetted during the full wipe and flash.
If you dont know what are your carrier's APN settings, try googling for them.

Are you sure your SIM is inserted correctly/fully? I only ask because this happened to me and it was incorrect fitted SIM.
