As far as I remember, 3 don't like anyone touching their SW, they seem to be the pickiest about it. This also seems to be reflected at the repair centers.
A Nokia service center may remove some Three branding, however the handset will remain locked to Three. You may have to prove that the Three branding is causing problems and that's why you require a "generic" flash. I think it also depends on where/who you get in the shop.
You'll only find out by going and asking I'm afraid. For example, on here some of the guys wanted the Orange branding out of their 6680s and CPW/Nokia RC had quoted £30, yet when I went to mine it was done for free under warranty with no problems. It's just your Donald I think!
