possibly mine is unbranded? was messing about with alternate softwares a while back but vodafone branding did not disappear so i thought that the unbranding did not work. maybe it did??

Ja, I think yours is unbranded, lucky you.

This is the reply I got from Vodacom to my e-mail to them yesterday :

Dear R******

Thank you for your e-mail communication to Vodacom.

New software and firmware releases are tested by our Procurement division and once approved they release the software to the Vodacare stores. You are welcome to contact your nearest Vodacare store to enquire when the software will be available. http://www.vodacom.co.za/outlets/vodacare/find.jsp

Regards


S***** W*******

so the waiting game continues.
 
I registered on that site & downloaded the 'Satio debranding.zip' file, but in step 4 it says :

4. Open the archive. Select the file which corresponds to the region you want to unbrand to.

I cannot unzip the file properly. How did u do it

ps. sorry for the questions.
 
that's odd. i downloaded the file now and it unzips perfectly. i use winrar.
can i email you the file just in case?
 
sweet, thanks

too late to do it now, will give it a shot tomorrow.

Thanks for the file auriga1000

I have the same problem - I can't unpack the file because it says the it is damaged...
 
WOW!

IT WORKS!

Thanks auriga1000

My satio is now unlocked, no more irritating Vodafone acess points :)
The Vodacom/Vodafone splash screens are still on at start-up & shut down, but no more Vodafone branding in the OS.

and, with the last update in the de-branding process SEUS installed the R2AK006 software :)

no more waiting for Vodacom to release updates :)

well excellent. now i know mine is also unbranded thanks to you. see we both helped each other
 
A friend has a satio and is having a problem with ussd messages. If he dials *162*pin# to check the balance on his MTN account, it comes up with the main menu. If he chooses "1" it just shows "done" but the next menu doesn't come up. Anyone experience this or know how to sort it out?

change to Vodacom?:p
 
has anyone here with a satio experienced that the phone froze/restarted by itself?
 
has happened before i upgraded software. can happen if you overload the ram with too many apps running at once as well.
