Blackberry 9810 - Can You Flash Generic Firmware?

discombobulate

I have an unlocked Blackberry 9810 that has Vodafone branding. I was wondering if it is possible to flash with generic unbranded firmware? Thanks for any help

Yes of course you can. You can go with the latest OS approved by your network or go with the latest approved by any network in the world or try a leaked OS (unapproved by anybody and may contain bugs) or go with a hybrid OS (some BB users take the best bits of the OS's out there and put them into one unique os)

Here's instructions on how to update:

The latest official OS for the 9810 is here:

Any problems or questions post back but fo read the instructions in the links.

you normally have to 'debrand' a phone before you can flash with generic software

You can't actually debrand a blackberry unless you've the actual software they use in the factorys for flashing the networks logo but that doesn't stop you from installing any networks/leaks or hybrid OS you find for the 9810.

Thanks for the replies guys. It was really to debrand I was looking for as I don't like having the logos on the phone. Not to worry though.
