Default Black 3 for T-mobile UK?

Hey there, can anyone point me to a version of Black 3 for T-mobile UK users?
The forum's "search" feature isn't exactly useful.

thanks, Forlornity

I guessed as much
I'm an utter n00b with the whole re-flashing process, so can anyone allay my fears that I'm going to end up bricking my device?
Also, is it easy to set it up to work with t-mobile UK anyway, what sort of things would I need to do after installing the new OS ROM?

thanks, Forlornity

just use the normal black, and then apply the t-mobuk.cab (not sure, of its exact spelling) that will setup all the t=mobile settings for you.

what's the likelihood of bricking the device during the install (keeping in mind that this is a bog standard, no special parts, windows XP home laptop)?

oh, and where exactly does this "t-mobuk.cab" reside?
Is it on the forums or does black include it?

Have you read the wiki, and the thread on the rom you plan to install? How about the upgrade guide? If so, then the chance of bricking are low. If not, bricking is a very real possibility. As long as you read and understand it first, you will be happy with the ROM upgrade of your choice.

You really want to the reading the WIKI, everything is that you as a 'Newbie' you will need... including the T-Mobile cab. Read the upgrading sections.

yeah, I'm following the guide on it, but Hard spl takes less than a second to flash, is this correct? shouldn't it take a little longer than that?

thanks, Forlornity

Nope, it's a very fast flash. Afterwards you can put the phone in bootloader to verify it.
