HI,
I have bought a P9 in South Africa and it comes with Vodacom software. Is there a way to remove this and have it back to it’s original settings? I tried already hard reset but that does not help….
thanks

Hi,
Last week, I bought an unbranded Galaxy S on a well known French Site. The phone was unbranded.
I installed the Kies software, and when I plugged my phone Kies told me I could update the firmware. I updated the firmware, and when I restarted the phone, it was not in french anymore, but the language was set to portugese, and my phone was branded for the TMN operator in Portugal.
I'm still able to use my phone with my sim card from belgium, but my phone is full with undesired logos and apps.
I've seen that it's possible to reflash an offficial ROM in the phone, but my version of Kies won't let me do this anymore.
I'd like to update to the latest unbranded French/belgian/The nertherlands version.
Is this still possible? I've found some ProductCode, but I was unable to find a corresponding HIDSWVER.
Thanks!

Hmmm... Sonuds to me like whoever you bought it from had flashed it so that it wiuld seem like it was unbranded but in reality it was a TMN device all along.
I believe that if you have upgraded your kies version to the _100 version then the registry trick will no longer work so you would have to flash it with odin.
If anyone else can chime in or if im wrong then please correct me.

I doubt someone flashed it as i had an original brand new unopened box. It was certainly not second hand.

Well its awfully odd that after flashing to the official froyo firmware on kies that it would just all of a sudden become branded.
Think about this... People use odin and even rhe reghack on kies to upgrade to "unbranded" firmware so it would only make sense that if you flashed using kies official firmware that it would revert the device to its original and branded status.

Unfortunately, that is possible We got many such a reports about phones bought in Polish markets, see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=8927826&postcount=92
Is Poland some phones were debranded and re-selled by mobile operators to markets. Unfortunately phones didn't get clean ProductCode and that way Kies updated firmware using version for original mobile network operator.
What about downgrading Kies and then doing the reg hack to reflect an unbranded earlier version of the firmware for your region and flashing through Kies again??
Same happened to me, bought the international version at handtec.co.uk, got the phone shipped to Mexico, and first upgrade I did on KIES installed a TMN branded firmware.
I didn't like the branded firmware, specially with all that SAPO apps, I rooted phone, installed titanium backup and deleted all apps, now only problem I have is a dancing "t" character showing on startup and shutdown.
Haven't found the reason for this, or the way to change to a unbranded UK firmware.

This should work. Check the codes for your country either that or reflash it with odin

The solution is written almost in every thread on this forum in last 4-5 days:
You have to downgrade to the older version of Kies, then make changes in the registry:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Samsung\Kies\DeviceDB\4]
"SoftwareRevision"="I9000XXJF3/I9000OXAJF3/I9000XXJF3/I9000XXJF3"
"ProductCode"="GT-I9000HKDXEU"
"HIDSWVER"=""
"DEVCONINFO"=""
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Samsung\Kies\]
"LocalVer"="1.5.3.10103.100"
Then you should be offered to upgrade to unbranded JPO for UK
Hi all, i have a P9 L19 C185 vendor/country info middle east/africa and want to change to EU C432. Since there is no stock firmware out for L19 EU version i want to ask if it is possible to change the region if i take it from the L09 version and flash the vendor.img file or root the phone and change the oem file?

this link is for the EVA-L09 not the L19 so I don't think it will work

Change country code with ios Apple
Hi There,
I read several posts. I just bought a chinese version Huawei P9
Manufacture info: EVA-TL00VN2
Bootloader Version:: EVA-C00B198_Fastboot
CP Version: 21.210.03.01.031 (balong)
), but live in The Netherlands and require English. At present the "Google" app is not working properly. It sincs Calandar and Mail, but it refuses to sync contacts.
I am totally new on software changes etc. I try to understand, but need step-for-step instructions.
I also believe that the Chinese google apk restricts the phone doing certain things due to Chinese laws. (is this a realistic assumption).
I tried downloading SRK-file from other thread, but this is software for Windows and I have a Mac.
Is there a SRK-program (or similar) to operate from IOS.
Please help.
P.s.: Is country code is not an issue to my problem according to you, please advise.
I have restored factory settings several times and started over with installation.
I have checked all possible boxes in Phone and on Google account to allow sites / software to be installed from non-verified partners.
I have been able to download European Google Playstore and all related apps....however...contacts do not sync.
Even though I have changed languages in several locations on phone to English, Chinese signs keep popping up (i.e. homescreen). Rest is English.
Does anyone no the "Verification Key" for the special code under "Veneer Code" (youtube.com/watch?v=oipKvS_n--A&index=47&list=PLeiJwJY5dlmjhw2MEVYMsDvuiuIlphUv1[/url])
Thanks for your cooperation.
Bad post!
Hi Guys,
I need serious help, as I tried to drand my Huawei P9 Plus, that I have purchased for UK Vodafone in the UK, as they are the only people who sell it.
This phone was originally on VIE-L09C02B131.
I have tried to dbrand it to L09C423B181, using the video guide [VDO-GUIDE] How to debrand Huawei Phone by SRK Tool Huawei by somboons. It is now showing as L09C900B181.
I tried again to unlock my bootloader, Install TWRP, root my phone, so that I could reapply the correct C432 oeminfo and custom.bin file.
However my phone is now stuck in Huawei eRecovery boot and I am unable to get back into my phone at all.
Can someone please help.
UPDATE 1: I have now managed to get L09C432B181 installed on my phone, however, the firmware is still showing as L09C900B181 and my theme are now showing default.
UPDATE 2: I have now installed TWRP and SUPERSU, however the phone keeps rebooting to Huawei eRecovery. I now need to now update the custom.bin and oeminfo to C432.
Someone please help me. I can't work out where I went wrong, as I have followed the dbranding video.
Thanks in advance,
Bashy
It seems like I have the "Telekom" branded L09 which is the c150 and I am still on b183. HiCare does not show an update. What should I do? Is there any downside on rooting and flashing the unbranded firmware?
i just bought s21 ultra (998b) brand vodafone, i can't debrand it to install thai firmware, i tried flash with Odin with different firmware downloaded but nothing. I also tried to go back with firm vodafone. please help me find a solution
Flashing diffrent firmware wont help,to get rid of all the vodafone apps and logo you need to change CSC from VOD to BTU ,i assume that you are in uk?
at the moment there is no option to change CSC on android 11 so it might take some time for a solution
thanks for the reply, so flashing with ODIN firmware THI won't change anything? I tried, the firmware is loaded but on restart it is always VODAFONE
I'm italian
I need the call recorder

yes no matter what firmware you flash you will still have vodafone logo ,because the CSC code of the phone its customized for vodafone IT (OMN),i have the same issue in UK , i treid to flash several firmware versions but the phone always show vodafone logo and vodafone apps ,so i guess we need to wait for a solution

Same here, S21 Ultra on H3G Uk branding. Tried the last 2 days few different firmwares with no luck .All H3G bootlogo and apps come back after restart. Hopefully Samkey will come out with a fix for this soon.
i get the issue but i find that it doesn't really matter what branding is on there if all yr network perks like wifi calling volte etc work. I got my s21 U from samsung but flatmate got his from vodafone for work and his personal 3 sim works perfectly with wifi calling etc all working.
wont be long until samkey (as said above) will be able to change csc so hang on if the vodafone logo on startup etc bothers you
