Will Debranding your Xperia S ,Give you acess to the apps that are not available in your country in the Play store ?
Rooting and using market enabler or something like that will give you access. Debranding itself only gets rids of some crap and gives you sooner updates.
"Sooner update" not if your in the UK

Considering upgrading my x2i to an x10a and i got a couple questions. What does branding do to the phone? Does it impose some sort of limitations? What are the advantages to debranding? Is it the same as rooting?
Much appreciated
from my elementary understanding, a unbranded phone can use f/w updates from any carrier (eg. rogers most recent is 020, however unbranded can be upgraded to 026).
Rooting a phone simply gives the owner superuser privileges, meaning that one can have ultimate control of the phone....generally people root so they can install specific apps that do not work on unrooted phones (eg. titanium backup, barnacle tether, always flash, setcpu, adfree...etc etc)
so to answer your question, root is not the same as branding, HOWEVER, there are ways to unbrand and root and upgrade in one go
Thanks for the reply!

As its no longer TMobile firmware Kies will never offer an upgrade if the codes no longer match firmware on the server .

Hello everyone,
I wish to download an apk file from a website. However, it says I can only access the webpage in the Japan region using android browser.
May I ask is there any solution to this? I am not consider rooting my phone because some of my apps can't run on a rooted phone.
Thanks in advance.
