I recently unbranded my Samsung Focus on Rogers for the NoDo update, and it worked just fine. I've been reading about some OTA updates Rogers was releasing, and I didn't want to miss out on it.
I've tried using the DeBrander xap found on this site, but unfortunately I debranded using the Samsung Registry Editor so the Debrander app can't rebrand it.
Does anyone know the code I have to input into the Registry Editor to put rebrand it with Rogers?
I'd really appreciate the help!
I was just about to ask for something like this...hopefully someone can help even I want to see how the focus update goes on a att unit *well the firmware update that is*
You need to use the registry editor and rebrand it manually to ATT-US (not sure)

Thanks for reading this, I apologize if this has been asked already but I've searched and could not find anything. If anyone knows a fix I would very much appreciate to know. I have the Samsung Focus with ATT
I'm stuck with an unbranded phone and cannot receive future updates, and cannot use Chevron7 to dev unlock my phone to re-brand my phone. The only way I've heard of but have not yet confirmed is by purchasing the dev unlocking tools from Microsoft directly. Being as forcing NoDo on my focus prevents me from using chevron7 to unlock the phone so I can re-brand it back to AT&T. That prevents me from being able to get the new ATT nodo update. My question is, if I purchase the dev tools from Microsoft for $99, would I be able to rollback my focus pre-nodo through zune and with ATT being re-branded, could I get that ATT focus nodo update?
Sorry if this is confusing, thanks in advance for any advice.

Any particular reason you cannot rollback your device using the official tool from Microsoft?
I typed a response back and it didn't post... Scrt, what official tool are you talking about? Do you mean the dev unlock tools you can buy for $99? See I forced the update and I'm stuck with an un-branded phone and I can't unlock with Chevron7 and I can't receive future updates like Mango. I can rollback using Zune but since I can't unlock using Chevron7, I cannot re-brand my phone to ATT to get the ATT Focus update.
So I'm asking if anyone knows that if I buy the dev tools from Microsoft for $99 and unlock my phone that way... Would I be able to do that and re-brand to ATT, then download the ATT Focus update?

Well... i don't know about other phone, but HD7's user, have ansar ported the stock 7004 ROM. I flashed back to 7004 and then get official update through Zune. So, i don't need to worry about this.
I had this problem with my Samsung Focus, i had it unbranded and it was updated to the nodo update.
Now i have the at&t firmware update and Nodo update and my phone is still dev unlocked. So happy!!
This is how I did it, First of all, you have to downgrade or restore your focus to 7008 OS.
Then make sure you phone is dev unlocked and download WP7 Root Tools 0.3alpha.xap
once you have downloaded the homebrew app, rebrand your focus by opening up the WP7 Root Tools app, and follow these instructions: Go to REGISTRY
LocalMachine\System\Platform\DeviceTargetingInfo\MobileOperator
and SET String then change VALUE: ATT-US
After that you phone will be rebranded to At&t. You can use the same steps for a rogers branded samsung focus, just replace ATT-US with ROG-CA and you should be good to go. Then make sure you use the Samsung Tools.xap app before you update your phone to NODO. just check the prevent relock section in the samsung tools app and reboot your phone, double check that it is checked and update away. There you guys go, im here to help, I hope this helps most of you.
Hi there people. For many of you who do not recognize me, I am a noob here on XDA.
I would like to know if it is at all possible to flash my Omnia 7 to I8700XXKH2 without the German branding all over it - this might seem silly but I thought maybe there would be a way with all the different firmwares out there to trick it into doing so? If not no worries, I'm on RTM but if I could install I8700XXKH2 without the branding I really wouldn't care too much for the official update..
Anyway let me know, I am quite computer literate so I don't need really deep details - and thanks in advanced to anyone who helps, even if it is with a simple "no, not possible"

I did but thanks anyway, its only been mentioned by a couple of guys one of which I've PM'd about it buy we both have a different first language so its a bit tough to work out.
If someone could just confirm or deny this method for me that would be great
1. Flash a (pre)NoDo Tmobile DE Branded Rom
2. Go through the process of upgrading that to Mango RTM (which in itself will remove the tmobile branding
3. Close Zune and run command - wpupdate /iu thatpackagefromxxkh2.pk
Which should leave me on RTM but with the upgraded drivers from KH2..
Like I said this is all speculation of conversation with someone so I may just be completely wrong in translation...
EDIT
So that's probably definately not going to work.
How about if I replace the .csc in the kh2rom with one from an (obviously older) unbranded engineering rom..would that work?
Hi guys,
I have done a manual update from a dev unlocked 7712 fw version to Mango and everything seemed gone fine. Until I have changed international settings I can upload my apps but after that the deployment app says the device is dev locked! I don't if the international settings change is correlated but now I really need to come back to an unlocked developer version but I don't know how to because the PC used to upgrade is no more working (HD crashing). Please help me. Thanks
You can reflash a factory ROM to your phone to downgrade (in the dev & hacking forum) or perhaps a better option would be to update your phone fully and use the new chevron unlock for $9.00 per device forever.
I've tried following the http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1311682 thread twice without success. I've used TMU - T-Mobile United Kingdom from Samsung Omnia 7 Firmware XXJJ6 ALL PROVIDERS and a retail version with any luck. I wasn't able to reply to that thread because I'm a junior member but that method doesn't work! Thanks for your help anyway

Yes you can download the ICS update through Kies or actually download the files and flash it yourself.
http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/?page=3&model=SGH-I727&pcode=ATT&os=1&type=1#firmware
You then would have to find out the APN used in India and change it if it doesn't automatically set it.
Make sure the phone is unlocked first so you can easily change carriers without hassle.
I have a htc one m8 verzion, i have root on my device,my device is from USA and in my country there is no way I import cdma handset.
Now that I know out an update to the device and I really want the update I can not update.
There are some way apart from making room update that I do not really understand these things? Is it because the cone is not letting me update over the air.?
(Im not from america).
