I debranded but did NOT unlock my phone...?

Question

am i still eligible for an upgrade? if not how to rebrand?

Answer 1

it probably won't hurt your upgrade eligibility depending on who your carrier was, and as far as rebranding goes, you can try to restore the firmware by taking it into a cell phone joint. here again, depending on who and how, it may s***w up your phone so make sure you only take it somebody reputable.

Answer 2

I recommend you re-lock your phone and then visit this website:

http://www.phonedevil.com/shop/simdevil....

Its a special phone unlocking simcard called SimDevil.  It supports over 992 handset models.

Unlike a conventional phone unlock it doesn't void the warranty, so if you break the phone you can still get it repaired/upgrade for free.

It is £9.95 (about $15)

I use mine with my Nokia N95 and it works great :)
