What is DEBRANDING?

What is DEBRANDING of cell phones mean? Do you know why and how to debrand cellphones? Can we debrand all cell phones? If I were to describe what debranding means is just a simple word, "to change its brand or model type. Or it's simple converting the brand model into another brand model to work with a certain country or to obtain the best version which is much faster than the old version. Did you get it? It is like removing the logo of a certain operator. Like for instance the TNT logo on some hand set, when you debrand it, the logo will be remove. Of course it's a sort of reflashing the firmware. That's the main thing to do, reflashing and updating its firmware to debrand it. In other words for you to understand, let's take for example the old DCT3 3390. We often convert it into 3310 or 3315 right? And instead of choosing the firmware 3390, we choose firmware 3310 right? That's it. It's just a convertion, "to be able to work with your own network operator". Another examples are  SHW-M290k  Debrand to GT-S5660 Gio, LG900gb Debarand to GW300, M250s Debrand to I9100 and many others. Me, I've experienced Debrand the Samsung M110s to I9000. I will post a tutorial later on how to Debrand. Although the units are from other countries, we used to unlocked it first before debranding to work with our network operator here. Because after we unlock the cell phone you will notice that there is no signal. The only solution is to debrand the cell phone. Like the Samsung M110s, i reflash it to Samsung I9000, and it was very successful.

Debranding is different from unlocking. Unlocking is to make it open to all networks. It is removing all the locks so that all SIM cards will accept it. Debranding is to remove the original firmware like logo, sounds, themes and others by means of reflashing with the use of flashing tools.

Tomorrow I will show you how I debrand the Samsung M110s to Samsung I9000.

So stay tuned guys :)
