This is how to get rid of all the annoying operatorrelated and any other irrelevant data.

A very simple two step procedure.

1: Go into 'settings', '7 Master reset' and '2 Reset all' - press 'Yes'
---Get a stopwatch timer---
Enter phone PIN (0000)
Press 'Yes' and start the timer.
---Before 10s has passed, remove the battery---
Wait 30s
2: Insert battery and turn on your phone.
---Before 5s has passed, remove the battery---
Wait 30s

When reseating the battery and starting up your phone...
You will find the following missing:
All operator software
All images
All sounds
All themes
All templates
All games
...and these still there:
All SMSs
All Events
All Contacts

Free space: 965kb!

Now you can use 'Send file' and a data cable to put whatever you want into your phone.

I don't know if this works on all S-E. I only own a T230
I might be imagening it, but it seems a lot quicker aswell

/Regards
Magnus

Has anyone tried it? Is it working on T230? I have r2a firmware. If i cant do it that way should i try the data cable? Any software available to do it?

Posted by mlorentz
Yes I've tried it on two T230 and it worked on both.

well... i kinda have a T230... and im planning to do that trick... but im not sure of what the results gonna be... so, will the phone be unlocked from the network?

Posted by Merovingian
no, that is completely impossible.... you'll have to unlock it whit a speciall combination of numbers and letters

Posted by mlorentz
This doesn't unlock a network lock. I didn't say it would either.

It works exactly as specified.
