I have just read in a forum, that the w715 cannot be de-branded using this seus meathod because it is an exlusive to vodafone. Could anyone tell me if this is true or not? Asap would be best :) Finally, I'm in England, and for the CID generator, this may sound stupid, but I just want to be 110% sure.... What do I need to select as my region?

Rebranding was a bit trickier - the key is to remove the "cda-revision" line from the generated XML file, otherwise SEUS thinks you already have the latest updat. then paste back in the original cda-number (for 02 Ireland this is 1222-3976). So phone is O2 branded again, but worth doing anyway. used your method to debrand my w705 and remove O2 Ireland branding – worked a charm, but realised that it removed the built in facebook widget which I quite liked, and didn’t give much extra in return.
