hey guys, I put the generic version of N. A. firmware on my play (r800a-fw) but to be honest i kinda like the stock att firmware more (i know-i'm crazy). I was sure i would like the generic i did not back up my original firmware. So does anyone have or know where i can get the stock at&t 2.3.3 firmware - OR ANY R800AT FIRMWARE VERSION??????
thanks in advance for any help leading to a solution
So I received my Arc S today in the UK, and it's a French model - I knew it'd be a European model of some sort when I ordered, so that's fine.
But even though I've set the language to English, I'm still finding a few things in French and it seems like my UK network can't detect what phone I have, and I'm unable to get a data connection.
Can someone tell me if it's possible to flash a generic stock or O2-UK stock rom to it please? I used to have a HTC Sensation and have experience rooting and custom rom'ing with that. My current build number is 4.0.2.A.0.42.
Do I root and flash the stock firmware from this page?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1204302
So to build number 4.0.A.2.368, to be clear. Will that give me all the generic/UK stock options instead of French video services, Canal+ and Jeux Gameloft?! I really don't need a custom rom, in fact I want it to be as much like I've just bought it from a UK supply as possible and don't even need rooting or the bootloader unlocked at the end of it if that can be avoided.
Your help is much appreciated in advance!

Thanks! It doesn't seem to have a generic UK firmware - only Central Europe 1/2/3 without listing the difference - but I've emailed Wotanserver to see if they can advise.
Is their method safe, do you know?
Hi
I just bought an C1905 from Germany (I live in Norway) and found out annoyingly that it was branded by T-Mobile
Do anyone have the global or nordic forware I need to flash it?
I decided to try the M dual 4.2.2 software instead, so far it works perfect
Hi all,
I'm new here, I stumbled across your site when I was looking for some info on how to debrand my xperia z1 compact that's coming from o2 Ireland. I want to get rid of all the o2 branding and bloadware stuff on it and have it as a clean phone.
I saw the tutorial that has been posted up on xperiablog about unbranding an xperia Z using flashtool, seems straightforward enough.
But I don't know what the correct fw version I need to flash it with, and if it's even here to download?
Like I said, the phone is an o2 Ireland branded phone and locked to o2 Ireland too.
Can anyone help me, point me in the right direction? I'm totally new to this and don't want to mess up my phone!
Thanks
Any in the resource thread.

Can you point me in the right direction to the one I need? There's lots of different versions and I'm not sure what is the latest one and what one I need for my country? Like I said the phone is an o2 Ireland branded phone, so what version firmware I need, that's what I'm not sure about.
Is there a main European version firmware? or do I use the UK one? I'm just looking for the OFFICIAL stock firmware that hasn't been altered in any way.

Great, thanks so much for your help.
Just a few more questions before I do this...
This fw contains the latest android software right? And if I install this fw and the phone is locked to o2 Ireland, it will still be locked after I install the latest original stock fw? I'm not sure if it unlocks the phone too if I get rid of the network providers software that's already on the phone right now.

Kind of obvious, I get not wanting to break your Phone but that's just what you will do if you don't read things properly.
