Is it possible to turn the orange p900 into the normal default version? (forget about the orange logo on the phone - will tippex it out!) Or has Orange flashed its own firmware into p900?

i'm sure there's a thread on this somewhere... all the orange guff is on rom,so removing it may well be impossible i'm afraid.

I took my Orange P900 to get flashed at a SE Service Centre to try to fix a problem with music player (crackling sound when listening to music and loading apps for the first time).

Didn't solve the problem but all the Orange stuff went (Ringtones, Themes, wizards, etc.) and even got a nice SE startup/shutdown animation instead of the boring old Orange One.

In the end phoned-up Orange to get a fault code for the music player so that I could return it for a different one. They interrogated the phone and found that it had an Orange Fault code of 'FW132' - I'm willing to bet that relates to the non-Orange Firmware flash! The phone worked fine though....

Get a firm ware upgrade get a NCK code from Orange to unlock it. Use nail varnish remover to get rid of Orange logo [addsig]

Not at all, they grow them all over the world. Hot climates are best I believe.

What I find most funny about people going on about Orange Logo's is why the f... do you buy orange if you dont like the logo go to BT, O2 or whatever they call themselves amongst others
