I have a samsung e-250. Does anyone know a service centre (Auckland) that will reflash my mobile with original samsung firmware? I want to get rid of vodafones branding.

Hey i have Nokia 6085's i want to do that to as well, i use them for Telecom roam phones with the Telecom SIM, they go great but the Vodafone Live badge and config is a pain.

There's a guy on GZ, username unlocker, that's very good with phone/firmware.

Give him a PM, he might be able to help you out.

You can easily debrand the Samsung E250 yourself: http://translate.google.com/translate?u=http%3A%2F%2Fgsmfree.exa-tech.de%2FSamsung%2FSamsung_unlock_softwareupdate_e250.htm&hl=en&ie=UTF8&sl=de&tl=en
Just skip the SIMlock removal chapter if not necessary.
