Thanks man, i really need the a2 uploader. Its 2024 already. You re truly a legendary guy. i've done this (debranding sony symbian phone) before on 2011-2012. Its 2024 no one care about this anymore. But i do care. I wanna buy the old vintage phone back. W980 or w910. Its hard to find the a2 uploader. Most of the download page have been turn off or erased. its been more than a decade. Salute man.

Sorry, i don't understand your question, SEMC phones are not cars, they don't have license plates. All you can do with this tool is described above in the first post.

Hey, thank you for the complete tutorial. Did this back in 2009 with my Naite and now i have it again.
Is there more complete information / tutorial / where to get about the Firmware (especially Naite) files?

Thanks in advance.

The easiest way is to visit your phone model subforum and check pinned topics - most recent firnware for your phone is usually pinned there: https://sony.yt/topi...oprogramowanie/:)
