Unbranding a W910i

I have a Sony Ericsson W910i which is branded to vodafone. I have unlocked it so it can take all sim cards but the firmwire on the phone is still vodafone which is abit annoying. Can someone help me or guide me in the right direction of how debrand the fone or get the orange firmware for the W910i.

Thanks in advanced

    why would you want orange firmware on it, its just as bad as the vodafone firmware.

    for reliability, i suggest loading the generic sony ericsson firmware on it by using something like davinciteam.co.uk
  • I dont mind orange, because its the network i use. I notice that the website you suggested charges is there a free way??

    not that i know of.
  • try searching for XS+ on google, as this may debrand your phone to generic software for free.

    it all depends on your phones software version, so you may have to pay for it.
