Safer Way to Debrand, Upgrade or Downgrade your HTC Desire/Tmobile G2

If you would think of debranding, upgrading or downgrading your Tmobile G2/HTC Desire smartphone, you should think of a better way to do it because debranding, upgrading or downgrading your Android OS phone could break the phone; rendering it completely useless.

For one reason or another, you might want to debrand, upgrade, or downgrade your phone.

An Instance:
A client once visited Aryk Enterprise workshop requesting for an aid to help him debrand his Tmobile G2. Whereas, he had tried debranding the phone and eventually got it breaked. When he arrived with such, the first question he was asked was: Why do you want to debrand the phone?
He gave his reasons and we proceeded.

First off, what do these terms: Breaking, Debranding, Upgrade And Down-grade means?

Breaking:

To put simply, breaking means getting your Android device permanently stocked at start-up. This usually happens when debranding your Android device and sometimes;during up-grade and Down-grade processes.

Debranding:

This means replacing the customized ROMs of a particular device made for certain service provider with the original ROM made by the phone manufactural.

As in the case of HTC Desire/Tmobile G2.
HTC made customized ROM of HTC Desire for Tmobile. And this is the reason why the HTC Desire Z is porpularly known as the Tmobile G2.

However, if you wish, you can replace the original ROM made by HTC with the customized ROM of the Tmobile G2 -that's called DEBRANDING!

Down-grading or Up-Grading:

This is just an implication of a simple english grammer.
To upgrade your Android phone is to install a newer version of the previous OS installed on the phone so that the phone may support more applications better and feature more utilities.

However, if your phone seems to be unsupportive of the new development, you may down-grade it.

Safely Debrand, Upgrade or Downgrade your HTC Desire/Tmobile G2

Although, it is possible to upgrade or downgrade your HTC Desire/Tmobile G2 via the SD Memory (External Memory Space) mounted on the device, it is neither a safe nor a better practice to upgrade, downgrade or debrand your Tmobile G2

In just about 15 minutes, you can upgrade or debrand your Tmobile G2 by following these simple steps:

Get 3GB of Free Data from Glo And Browse Like Never

This is not a cheat. You can actually get 3GB of data valid for one complete month free of charge from Glo and browse the internet on any device and at anytime of the day just by following simple techniques as is explained below.

Recently, Globacome Nigeria introduced a new tariff plan called Glo Bounce. The New Glo Bounce tariff plan offers numerous free goodies and discounts and with these, comes the free 3GB/month.

Wondering how it works? It's simple. I migrated to the Glo Bounce package when the Bounce package was first introduced. I migrated because of the low and cheap call costs. So, not minding the data bonuses, I kept on recharging my account as usual.

Eventually, on the fourth day (4th day) I migrated, I checked my promo balance and saw 253MB data balance. At first, I could not believe my sight, then I recalled I had made some downloads for which I was not charged/billed.

How to Get 3GB Free From Glo- Simple Logic

1- First, if you have a Glo line, Migrate the Glo Bounce Package by dialing *170*4#

2- Try to recharge your account with at least, N200 daily. -for every recharge of N200 on the Glo Bounce Package, you are given 30mb of data valid for 7 days.

3- Check your promo account balance by dialing #122#

NOTE

The minimum recharge denomination rewardable for the bonuses is N200 therefore, recharging your account with multiples of N100 recharge cards does not qualify you for the bonus.
The recharge denominations that qualify you for the bonuses start from N200 and above.
