Debranding Sony Ericsson c510

How to debrand the phone Sony Ericsson c510. I didn't like the Vodafone customisation, so after several tests and trials I've found the best way to do it.

You will need these files:

  • The main and fs files
  • A custom pack, that you should NOT unzip. The custom pack has important data from your country phone providers

The tool a2uploader (See image here:).



I've used the R1FA035 files version for the c510, not the latest which have RECEPTION problems.

So basically you will:

  1. First flash the Main and FS files
  2. Then update customs files with a2uploader (In ZIP format)


In detail:

1.Open the main and add fs files with a2uploader. Click on flash.

2.Your phone is turned OFF. Hold on "C" and plug it, the flashing process will start...

(IMPORTANT: your battery should be fully charged)

3.When it is done, unplug the phone, take the battery out and reinsert it

4. Now lets customize the phone, or finalize it.

5. Press on fileSystem and navigate in your phone to tpa > preset> custom and there upload your custom

pack in zip format.

6. Once it is uploaded, press the Shutdown button. Disconnect, take out the battery, reinsert it and turn
your phone on.


NOTE: you must get the firmware(FS + MAIN) and Custom from either 4shared, topsony, topse.ru, etc.

    Hi,
    you cannot delete sofware only re-flash, get the good firmware files and try again.
    This tutorial is to debrand your phone with a2uploader tool.
    However this is always delicate, do it to your own risk.

Repair Dolce Gusto Circolo Leaking Problem

Image
My Dolce Gusto coffee machine started leaking without even plugin in to the socket. Water was leaking at the base, the tank would get completely empty in a few seconds, so I dismounted the back cover to see. Use a Torx tool.  Fisrt start removing the two screws down besides the reservoir connector. Down there you see the join inside the water connector. That small rubber joint was apparently in a good shape but the problem really came from it. I took the small water filter and descaled it by diping it in white vinegar for a few minutes. Then I took a rubber tap joint from my tool box and put it on top of the rubber joint as you see it in the circle. Then I mounted all back again and it works! The joint was just too used, and you can replace it with a tap rubber joint, just find the right size. Descale the coffe machine This is always a good thing to do every two or three months to keep the inside clean. I descaled completely by filling the water tank with a mixture

How to Change the Gear Shift Knob of the Peugeot 306

Image
Well, last week the gear shift knob of my car got teared down in my hand as I was driving as you can see it in the picture. It was so really broken that the official knob from Peugeot would not fit anymore. The good thing about it is that now I can replace it by a nice one. But it was a real pain to figure out how to dismount it, the main thing is to lift up the leather bag around it first, from the bottom and then turn the knob twice to the left and then pull from it till it comes off . As you can see the white base support was broken too, so I had to dismount the whole thing and look for an universal knob to replace it. Well here is the gear shift itself all alone, I had to stick around it a piece of plastic and then tighten it up with a wire (I did this with my pliers to hold it tight), so that the leather bag will not move down later. Here is the new knob, it has a nice fairy on it, well, I know you are smiling :) but it was the only one in the store one that fitted
