  • you should quit the Nokia Suite before connecting your phone. Then connect your phone in the nokia mode.

  • Thank U very Much.. I'm from Bolivia and my nokia 5300 had that problem..... but not anymore... thanks a lot!!

  • I did everything in the video and it seems to have worked, but should it still say T-mobile when it starts up?

  • How to unbrand the firmware, if that is branded (and has some functions limited)? Just update with Nokia Updater after unlock? (I got my phone completely legally unlocked by the provider, as it is older than 2 years)

  • Doesn't seem to work for 5800, when I click on Scan it says Error, and nothing shows up in the Details window

  • did you use an unlocked 5800 code?

  • try 0559298

  • do you know how to "hard reset" a 5300, when i hit the menu button it freezes and then after a while it goes back to the main menu, i cant use nothing, cant make phone calls or send messages, when i go to the texting menu (shortcut) it says "message storage memory not ready" thanks!

  • now it ask me for a restriction code what is it?

  • i get the same error, i am using bluetooth with a nokia 2600c-2b

  • the first link fail

  • fail link

  • Tried this yesterday and it worked beautifully! Now running Opera Mini, Gmaps, Gmail, other apps using Tzones on Tmobile! Worked for me even with the sim in the phone. (Though it did delete all contacts, info., etc.) Thanks alot! The direct link to b-phreaks soft ware no longer works, but it is still on that site -- just look for it.

  • do you know the codes For a Nokia 6301 from T-Mobile? Does this method will remove the T-Mobile logo and t-zones button, etc?

    since im using this phone on a different carrier T-Mobile stuff is useless form me..

    tnx!

  • este video si funciona pero si eres de mexico nesecitas buscar un tuto en spañol para comprenderlo mejor

  • And the restrition code???

  • this still works

    thanx

  • hey when i press scan nothing happens

  • Would this work for a Red Nokia 5310? If not, what would be different?

  • i thought this would remove operator icons and stuff....

  • Works great.. but how to change to E sign when using wap to GPRS?

  • Thanks a lot dude!! You're AWESOME!!

    I can now use Google Maps, Gmail, Opera Mini, etc. with NO restrictions on the T-zone plan. Hahahaha.

    Instructions also work for the latest NSS.

  • Comment removed

  • link for nss download errors... is there other link?

  • Coz NSS is updated. Go directly to the B-Phreaks homepage and download from there. These instructions work with the latest NSS. If you still have problems, post it here again and I'll hook you up.

  • Comment removed

  • What's your carrier? T-mobile?

  • Comment removed

  • Follow the instructions carefully and make you sure you INSTALL the Nokia Software Suite AND Nokia Software Updater. You can try to backup data of your phone to your PC with the Software Suite to make sure that your phone is recognized by your PC. THEN, you quit the Nokia Software Suite application and start NSS and follow the instructions from there.

  • just called t-mobile and they sent me the correct internet settings in a text message and walked me thru the setup. thanks t-mo, muahahaha

  • i am getting an error scanning it and have the charger disconnected. i have also heard nokia pc suite v6 is needed, which i have so far been using. anyone have any other ideas as to why i get a scan error?

  • Thanks SO Much! I used a Nokia 6300 T-Mobile USA, and it worked perfectly!- no problems with mem cards, or any damage- in fact, I was able to keep all old files. You may need to find a new NSS logo b/c i had to find mine on a torrent (the site no longer works). THANKS!

  • omfg i loooove you! it worked SO easily :D

  • this is simply superb.. the instructions work like cheese.. thanks foyaeman.. one thing that i noticed was that my nokia 5300 is making EDGE connections instead of GPRS.. so may t-mobile had disabled that too

  • is this gonna work on a 5310?

  • did it work on 5310?

  • i just wrote this and it didn't show up... anyways for the 5310 use the product code 0551710. then after NSS use NSU to update the phone. you will lose t-zones and it will unorganize everything on the phone. and this code is for 5310 red

  • oo, don't do it yet... it takes internet settings away. still working on a solution

  • um guess i forgot to clarify that the code isn't just for the 5310, but its for the red version of like the screen savers and wallpapers and crap. code will work on any 5310. and also to clarify with t-mo i had to change my internet plan to full web access for me to get to use opera mini and gmail and things

  • Sorry I'm posting this again but is there anyway I can get my micro SD card working on the phone again? It stopped working after I unbranded my phone.

  • This was great but for some reason my memory card isn't working. It's not even showing that it's in my phone. Can you help me please?? Thanks alot!!!

  • Dis is awsome but can u pls tel wer cld i dwnload NSS frm???

  • Hi there,

    When I use NSS and click on phone info tab and click 'scan' it says 'Scan for product... Error!' My phone is connected to the USB

    Can you help me please.

  • Does this not work on u.k t mobile phones then ?

  • YOU R Incredible I love your work. 5/5 noooo

    10/10 that is your rating.

  • yea that really helped thanks

  • it worked for me but i want my fav 5 app back do you knw how to restore that. i tried restoring factory settings i did it but the app did not come back. what can i do?

  • In terms of getting the fave 5 app back, I can't help you as I'm not sure..but you still have you're fave 5 and can manage them online. Basically, if you call somebody who is on your fave 5 you still get your unlimited minutes. Hope this helped..

  • nice video, i have a question for you, i have a nokia 5310 from rogers and by any chance would you know what product code i should enter? hope you answer me, thanks alot!

  • for everyone that is having that scan error deal, if your phone is on the charger take it off before trying this, thats what i did and it fixed the problem

  • hi i live in india and am using airtel connection

    can i still use this ??

    my frnd just unbranded his sony eric. w580i and is getting cool new themes is it possible with this cell phone to and if so then how to do it?

    from where can i update the custome firmwire?

    plz help

  • i unbranded my nokia 5300 from tmobile and my myfaves application has been removed anyway to fix that

  • Actually, no.

    That is one of the risks of debranding the phone to Nokia firmware. The myFaves plan requires that you use a phone with T-Mobile software in it.

  • Just wanna thank you for sharing this information. Mine is from Rogers in Canada and I did unlocked it.

    thanks again!

  • ok well i have nokia pc suit and when i clicked scan it said scanned error! so can you help me at all?

  • whats the point of this n how can i unlock the phone and unbreak the phone(so that i can use other sims in it 2, like cingular n sht)

    PLEASE REPLY BACK N LEMMY NO

  • also when charging it never seems to even say "Battery Full" anymore. This is after 3 hours of run by the way.

  • either my battery suddenly became powerful through this method or it messed up the battery meter, because since I did this, the meter has always been on full. I tried to run extensive applications to see if it drains. but so far nothing. (continuous music play for 1 hour, USB connection, phonecalls on speaker phone) nothing.

  • mine too

  • I was getting pissed that I couldn't use the Gmail app or google maps apps on my phone. Said the certificates weren't signed, even though mozilla is a reputable company! I used this video to unbrand my 5300 and BOOM, I get to use what ever apps I want. It even has more options on it now like, Push To Talk (PTT) and new options for text and picture messages. Just wanted to say thanks. Also, Make sure you use the Nokia Suite to back your phone up. I didn't lose info, but better saft than sorry.

  • hey it says scas for product...Eror!

    help me pls...

    i have 5300xpressmusic

  • hey man when i press on phone info>Scan... it says Scan for product...error! any hepl pls.

  • You need to install Nokia suite first so the drivers for the phone will install. Hope that helps.

  • this doesn't help with the use of any simcard... because nokia 5300 uses BB5 and u have to use codes like +pw+########+# something like that u get 3 tries to use em and there is no free programs for that ATM.

  • will this guide work for 5310 plz i need opera mini working and t mobile USA doesn't allow opera mini to work it has only this cool tzones app but plz i need fast reply to know if its ok or if i need different numbers and someone plz privide me a guide then for the nokia 5310 thx in advance

  • NVM, is all good, YOU DA BOSS, RICK ROSS TRILLA!!! haha thanks man

  • What if i mess up? Can i just reset to factory settings or whatever? And if it doesn't give me that option (such as locking me out completely), then what do i do?

  • haha, don't forget put all the numbers saved on the phone on the sim card. trust me on that one. all my other stuff was untouched. memory card, sim card, all my games and apps untouched. just the numbers saved to the phone got erased. i signed up with t-mobile usa.

  • man, i did that on my phone, but after i turned it on, it said - enter restriction code. what's that? phone was purchased from t-mobile, usa. thanks a lot!

  • thanks

  • hey ya im kind of stupid :P anyway so just making sure, does this unlock the phone so i can use other brands with it? like minse is rogers canada right now so if i go to the us and use lets say tmobile and get a sim card, will it work? Thanks :D Looks cool btw :)

  • No, sorry, all this does is unbrand the phone for full use of 3rd party apps. What you're looking for is "Unlocking", which can only be done by a local Rogers dealer or over the phone. Don't worry, by law they have to grant your request to unlock it :)

    Good luck!

  • Thanks very much! =D You are awesome :P. Uh just one more question haha :P if i do this what you have on your video will it work with my phone cuz i have rogers? and also is the unlocking free? thanks :D

  • It is free, yes, and I am not 100% sure it will work with Rogers. It should, might not, either way, you can reset it back to factory settings if not. Good luck :D

  • man this is awesome. its a shame most people just settle with their phone restrictions and crap. but then again if everyone did this then they'd come up with some way to stop the hacks. but i this is so awesome, thanks for the video tutorial!! now this phone can be hella fun.

  • Hey there - great video, and it looks like exactly what I need to do...

    The problem is that I'm dealing with a Nokia 5200 not a 5300. Will the process be the same? Is there a different product code required?

    Thanks!

  • Sorry to disappoint, but they have different product codes. :(

  • i love you :)

  • I love you too - lets elope!

  • yo my phone doesnt detect my USB wire anymore, what do I do

  • report to tmobile and they will have product replacement box sent to you

  • wow this worked and for those who get the error uninstall the nokia software suit

  • Worked AWESOME bro.... Thanks so much... Im from Canada and i couldnt put ringtones on my Nokia 5300! Until i followed your video And GUESS what Now i can. U the MAN.. Thank you Thank You.

  • yo does yours still work properly or does unbranding fuck it up

  • Works great !!!! Did it yesterday.. dont have a problem with it.. just follow instructions and it will be ok..

    Jesus

  • alright, but does it make your phone look different like all the applications and menus and stuff

  • no its works fine and everythin it just unlocks all the features t-mobile turned off like application accssess and stuf now i can use opera mini and gmail and google maps only difference in menu is that youll have 12 menu items instead of 9 so 3 new options

  • how do u get to google earth

  • I get error too~

    But I'm using Rogers

  • lol what is unbrand?

  • i'm gonna try unbrand mine, but mine i got it from "Rogers" in canada... does this tutorial work with that?

  • When I click scan, an error comes up and it doens't scan!

  • same here

  • hey the nss program doesnt have a factory settings tab on it

  • what if when u click on the scan button it says erro what do i do ??

  • i'm experiencing the same problem. what OS do you have? i'm running NSS under Vista 64, and i get "error!" everytime i click on any button. but sooner on win xp was everything ok.

  • does this work for the ones that u buy in canada?

  • whats the difference between unbranding and unlocking

  • The unbranding worked perfect for me!

  • thx bro realy worked...... and was easy... just one Q? do u kno what is PTT????

    thx again

  • PTT = Push to Talk, a feature not yet supported by T-Mobile.

  • this worked great and i installed Opera Mini and Google Earth which both worked for about a day but now whenever i click on games and applications, nothing happens. there isn't even an error message and i've tried everything to open them

    do you know whats wrong here?

  • T-mobile doesn't support PTT currently in the US. If they did you would need a config like you have for tzones and/or internet.

  • Awesome tutorial! Everything went perfect and it was very simple. I am now a much happier T-Mobile user since I can use Opera and hopefully Google mobile.

  • Do you know how to format the 5300 using NSS? Under tools and Factory Setting tabs there is a format option. I tried doing this but all I get is an error. I still have my product code from TMobile and I was thinking if I put the TMO product code back in and do a C format will my phone be like how I bought it?

  • hey i unbranded nokia 5300 using your method .i had an t mobile nokia 5300. now i am in india . after unbranding also only one network is taking ie airtel in india . no othr networks are working . why? whats the problem.....

  • If you read the description entirely, you would know that Unbranding is NOT the same as unlocking, meaning that you could only use it on T-Mobile, just like before, but you have more features on the phone. If you want to UNLOCK the phone (allow it to connect to other carriers networks), you could call T-Mobile and they will Unlock it for you.

    Good luck, and thanks for watching.

  • ok. i unlocked the mobile by t mobile but only one network is working india airtel network why?my phone switch off automatically and geting on . how to flash the mobile

  • hi, this was excellent stuff for me :) but.. when i try using the music player, it asks for a password, and it asks again for the memory card (i think it's the same thing) .. what's the password!? i tried all the default ones already, liek 0000 1234 12345, the last four digits of my phoen number, but none of them work! HELP!

  • I can help you, only i need it's your IMEI

  • hey i have a nokia 5300 and its from t-mobile. i want to know if i unbrand my phone will i be able to use it on a diffrent service like at&t. like i want to know is unbranding the same as the phone being unlocked.. thanx please answer

  • no, unbranding is NOT the same as unlocking. If you want to unlock it just call t-mobile, they should provide you with an unlock code, for free.

  • dcxvsdfsrfwefefwefwef

  • ty so much

  • Right on worked perfectly thanks bro!

  • Thanks for ur help foya with da password.... I finally found it out

  • Sry for the post again but pls pls tell me da password to unlock my memory card ps I typed this using opera on my phone .... Thanks for the vid

  • even though i don't have the password for my memory card unbranding my nokia 5300 was the best thing i have every done on my phone so thanks for the vid and also if anyone know the default password message me pls

  • what is the password to get me in my memory card help

  • o my god i found out da passowrd dis is great thanks

  • No problem :)

  • I unbranded my phone, and am still unable to access websites such as youtube. I have the internet on it as you said. I access the website, but when I click on the video it just fails. Any idea?

  • Adding on: It says: Operation Failed when I try to view a video. Also, when I went and set up my own access point and such, it gave me a different setting that I didn't understand, but I was also about to mess with some ports. Any idea?

  • how do i undo this

  • I have a few questions...

    1) What does "Unbranding" mean?

    2) Does this add on my phone bill?

    3) Does this give internet access?

    4) I have a 2 year contract with T-Mobile, should I do this, or will it harm me?

    PLEASE ANSWER THESE QUESTIONS!! Thanks.

  • 1) Unbranding means removing the service provider's branding on the phone, reverting it to the full featured mode that comes straight out of the factory.

    2) No, it does not add in any way to your phone bill.

    3) No, it does not give you internet access, but it does maximize the usability of internet access on your phone. You could get t-zones web for about 5 dollars a month through t-mobile, though, and it's unlimited.

    4) That varies on who you talk to, but as far as I know it's fine.

  • Is there any possible way to change this back to the way it was, because I unbranded it and it was useless for me because I don't have internet. It locked my memory card, it's asking for a password and what is the default password?

  • i tried 0000 1234 12345 and it didn't work, please help!

  • Ok I'm sorry for so many posts, but I found the password. I wanted to know what features this adds, I have push-to-talk, but how can I use it? I have a 2-year contract w/ tmobile, will it still work? Please list all the features if possible, thanks!

  • o my god what is the password. i'm dieing here trying to find wat the password is plz tell me.

  • Please help with the default password..

  • i keep getting ERROR when i click on scan once in the nss program. HELP ME!! my phone is a nokia 5300 xpress music if that helps. :(

  • This is amazing! It is so easy and it works! Now i have opera mini! Im writing this from opera right now!

  • I've seen a few comments about bad service / reception after unbranding. Is there any truth to this?

  • As far as I know, and logically assuming, unbranding should have absolutely no effect on your signal. It didn't on the 4 phones I tested it on ;)

  • I just have a quick question. I used this method to unbrand my Nokia 5300 (back in august) and it works great. When you unbrand the phone using this method, does it actually unlock the phone so you can use it on other carriers?

  • OMFG thank u soooo much (i used the text guide) this was soo easy way easier than doing this to my razr lol i love it so much but my fave 5 are gone from the phone its not a big dela since i can do it online with opera mini lol but i liked having any thanks so much i love opera mini on its hella fast

  • you can log into your T-homo account online and change you fav5

    that's all that the fav5 program dose (that and keep photos of them)

  • ya i know thats why i said i can do it with opera mini :P thx anyway

  • has anyone else had shitty service after they de branded their phone? mine is just lousy now and it sucks

  • What happens when you unbrand it?

  • I bought my 5300 in Taiwan (unlocked, straight from Nokia) and brought it back to the States. I signed up with T-Mobile but they said it was impossible to use internet on it because the firmware didn't support T-Zone.

    So, the phone is already unlocked I believe. Can I sign up for T-Mobile internet package and the net should work outside of the T-Zone app?

  • Well, if the firmware doesn't support T-Zones, it probably wouldn't work. You can take the phone to your local T-Mobile store and they would be able to tell you for sure.

  • yo... i'd just like to say YOU are the MAN!

    i am now able to use OPERA MINI on my 5300, & is still learning its features & functions but totally LOVING it!

    your tutorial is very INFORMATIVE especially the text-only guide.

    THANK YOU SO MUCH.

  • How did you get opera mini on?

  • Yep, when running the Nokia Software Updater, it checks your product code and gives you a firmware according to that. So since we changed the product code, it will give us an unbranded firmware update, if that's available of course.

    Thanks for watching :)

  • Hey thanks for this video but do you think you can post another video showing us how to update our firmware w/ our new unbranded 5300s? I tried but NSU says my phone is not supported. Before when it was branded, I would identify my phone but now it says it is not supported. Do you think this is because we changed the product code?

  • Due to technical problems, Nokia has removed firmware updates from 5300 and other models for now. (Says so on NSU FAQ)

  • Ok, I got your message, but let me reply here incase anybody else has the same problem.

    When installing NSS, did you select Virtual USB as the mode? And also, when connecting the phone Via USB cable, when prompted did you select Nokia Mode?

  • Absolutely flawless. Your instructions are perfectly easy to follow, everything happened just as you described. OUTSTANDING job. You are a credit to the enterprise of free exchange of information.

  • can you use this software to unlock the phone aswell? because i have a 5300 from vodafone and i want to use it with a rogers sim. any suggestions?

  • yeaa avenged sevenfold (H)

  • Anybody want to tell me the bad and good sides of unbranding my phone? What gets changed, and how the hell do i get Push To Talk when t-mobile doesnt do that.

  • umm what is unbranding the mobile for??

  • It enables PTT (Push-To-Talk), Network Access for 3rd party applications (Programs like Opera, GMail, and Google Maps), and many other features and options.

  • 59 seconds in, you say select nokia mode? where do i do that?

  • That is during the install of NSS :)

  • okay so i cant complete nss because my 5300 is locked and when i turn on my phone it asks for a security code therefore i can't connnect it with my computer.. what should i do??

  • hey do you know if my faves will work with the flexpay account from t-mo

  • i've followed everything and my phone is now unbranded but i cant ply .3gp vids ne more, i used to when it was branded

  • Followed your text instructions and they worked great! Thanks man!
