I dare say I will be shot down in flames here but here goes:
1 I have done this sort of thing many times and it is a double edged
sword, you may upgrade to a more up to date O/S but you don't always get a
better or more stable O/S at the end of the process. Whilst some carriers do
take ages to ratify an O/S for their network there sometimes is a good reason.
2 This process is also rather hazardous and I would be extremely cautious
doing this without sighted help because if you have TALKS or another of the
screen readers on the phone you will lose it. It is not a process to be taken
lightly.
3 It is imperative that you backup every shred of data because you may
lose it.
4 If you are attempting to unlock a phone from a particular carrier then
this process in my experience does not actually help you do that. With many if
not all BB5 style phones the process involves rather more and generally the man
down a shop or market can't even unlock it. I know because I have tried. What
you do end up with is a relatively clean phone.
5 If you want to unlock the phone to all carriers then usually you have
to go back to your carrier who can usually do it at price which is usually way
above any costs involved.

hi
I have a Nokia n70 which although unlocked is still branded with vodafone
settings which appear to be locked. I have a three sim installed and want to
use the web via three. Is it possible to unbrand this phone, or unlock the
settings.
