Nokia C3-01 Mobile Phone, stuck with network branding.

Cannot change a few settings to use the Wifi for the internet, instead forces me to use the network provider. Unfortunately the Sim lock has been removed, so its no longer used with the branded network.

Therefore the handset needs to be reflashed to remove the branding.

I can pick the software up from eBay for £6.00 ishy, and ive found online forums that give a little bit of information here & there.

Do anyone know how to do this?
Do you have a link to a comprehensive guide with links?

I do have the flash files (80MB ish) for the handset, though someone recommended changing the software version and use Nokia Updater to sort it.
