Hello, Sony Ericsson Update Service will update your phone using branded firmware, the phone seems like it is switched off but it is on in a certain way, Flash Mode which allows the phone to be accessed for flashing firmware,
This whole thing about SE having a contract with ATT shouldn't be an issue after final sale and the device now belongs to someone. I don't get it. There would sure be less complaining around here if you could put an unlock/debrand option in SEUS

So it's really some kind of legal problem? I just can't lend that much competence to att to even formulate a credible complaint if SE were to provide the option of unbranding and using Global. I been to a couple County fairs and a goat roping contest and ain't never seen nothing like this!
You'd be surprised how smart they are when they want to be sneaky and give their customers the shaft, bro. I know you will remember you didn't have the option to install non-market apps until you debranded. They will do anything they can to keep their customers on a leash. But of course, you know this already, as well
You assume too much I am just now getting my biker pea brain around the whole problem. SE could sack up without publicity in my opinion and provide that option and I bet ATT could care less. Weren't you they one claiming ATT doesn't even sell the x10?
