Debranding Blackberry Bold

Instructions on Successfully Debranding Bold

I've managed to successfully debrand my Bold. Check out the screenshot of my splash screen. It used to be an AT&T version, but now the vendor ID is 1 instead of 102. Users can now access the engineering menu and change their voice codec to AMR-FR, which can upgrade the voice quality. You can also change from 3G to 2G at your discretion! Oh,and one more thing, THIS UNLOCKS YOUR PHONE ALSO!!!!!!!!!!!

Follow all the directions or you will regret it. Good luck to you all! I am posting this in an effort to someday achieve a fully modifiable Blackberry through the help of all our geniuses on this forum.
