Debranding a Sony Ericcson V800

Bah, I'm sick of the brandin that's come with my new Sony Ericsson V800 phone. Just bought it off of a friend who used it on Vodafone but seeing as I'm on Meteor I'd like to remove all the predefined menu items, pictures, themes and shortcut buttons that can't be "normally" deleted. Also, does anybody know what one has to go about doing to DRM an mp3 files so that it'll play as a ringtone on the phone?

Cheers
Steve

if you can get the firmware flashed then it will be debranded
i've got r1ab014 on my flashed v800
it now thinks its a z800
and you can use mp3's as ringtones once this is done

Sweet enough so. I take it you can't do this using the USB cable that came with the phone no? Any idea as to where this can be done so?
