[Q] Debranding Unlocked Orange Phone

---

Hey,
I was first wondering, is Orange UK delaying the NoDo updates? I have an unlocked Orange HTC Mozart, and was wondering if it was worth debranding. Is it worth the effort, and if so, can anybody give a quick summary of what I must do?
Thanks in advance.

You dont need a special cable, just follow the instructions in the last few posts.

Thanks for the link.

Do you know if you are you able to re-install Orange Maps if the phone has been debranded?

Also can you confirm if you run the RomUpdateUtility.exe from the original orange folder or from the latest version?

Thanks again.

Dont know about the Orange maps, never used it and dont have an Orange sim in the phone anymore.

First you flash the orange ROM, once you have flashed the ROM, you download the no-do Europe rom extract to a different folder and copy the .nbh file from the europe folder to the Orange folder. Then run the updater from the Orange folder.

And it will update to no-do and also debrand.

Thanks for the help I will have a go at it tomorrow.

Can anyone confirm if they have got Orange maps working on a debranded handset?

Cheers.

i would also like to know if orange maps works on a debranded phone please.

So, after about 1.5GBs of downloaded files, and hours of waiting for RapidShare to make the links available (I kept getting the wrong file), I unbranded it. I do not have the NoDo update. Will I get this through Zune, or do I have to flash the firmware again? I would rather get it through Zune, and not have to go through the syncing process again.

Can I ask if you have tried to re-install Orange Maps?

Thanks.

Thanks.

Never used it- I just use the built in maps (Bing).

I have just downloaded and installed Orange Maps from the marketplace on my debranded and unlocked Mozart running the no-do update
