Hi,
Not 100% sure this hasn't been posted here before (did a search), so sorry if it has.
Read this article: h77p://www.t610-world.de/service/vfd2brandinglegal.htm It describes how to remove all predefined (vodafone) pictures from your T610. It will also remove the vdf welcome screen at start-up. I followed the instructions and it worked for me. Also, if you read the linked thread on that page, it describes how to remove the predefined games.
PS. Since I also had my phone flashed at a local (NL) SE service point my "vodafone live T610" is 99% SE (the wap portal is still vdf live, and the two vdf themes are still there) |

Good suggestion, I guess not everyone can read german 
Also, if anyone has questions about the procedure, let me know. |

Like I mentioned in my first post, it worked fine for me. Can you describe what went wrong for you. |

It worked!!
Maybe it has to do with what firmware version you have, since this most likely is bug in the software.
I am now a happy owner of a "Vodafone-picture-free" T610 R1A081.
Great tip! |

This is not a word-by-word translation of the german version but I think it covers it all.
1. Do a master reset on the phone.
2. When the phone restarts make sure the automatic keylock never activate!! If this happens you'll have to start all over again. (I don't know why) To ensure it doesn't happen deactivate automatic keylock.
3. Deactivate background picture, screensaver and the welcome message.
4. Create a simple theme without any pictures, only colors and activate it. I used the default settings in Theme Creator Pro3G (or whatever the name is).
5. Go to the Games menu and select a game. Click More and go to the memorystatus screen.
6. Now you'll have to fill up the phones memory completly. I created a large file in notepad, named it test1.thm and transfered it to the phone. Then I renamed it, adjusted the size and send it again and again and again...
...until it said Free memory: 0kb. Then I trasfered a 1 byte file a couple of times just to be sure it was completely full.
7. Now open the My pictures folder. The phone will try to create thumbnails of the pre-stored pictures but will fail since there's no memory left. Just click OK to the error message and then the backbutton. Do this until all pictures has an 'X' as a thumbnail exept the flower, clock and the vodafone animation. These will have a hourglass instead.
8. Go to the phonebook. Create a contact named 'X' and try to assign a picture to it. I started with the animation.
When you select a picture the phone will say something like 'Unable to open picture. Delete?'. Just choose Yes and the picture is gone.
Then select the next picture and so on.
9. When all the pictures are gone, reactivate the background, screensaver, auto keylock and set the welcome message to standard. Restart the phone and your done.
Hope it helped all those who doesn't understand german or babelfish-english.

Any other alternative for mere mortals. The 13 sec trick didn't clear it either. Besides no SE centre here to do a flushing. H E L P!!! |

Does this work with other providers? I have my phone on Orange PAYG and don't really want to do a master reset if it's not going to work.
BTW Thanks for the English translation. |

I take it that because the phone has already prepared the thumbnails this method cannot be done without first performing a master reset? |

let me get it straight, do a master reset and delete everything first, then fill it up again with other stuff to get it filled up till 0kb left, then proceed with the other instructions.... is that right?
cos i tried the master reset with the settings and then proceeded with the instaructions but it dont work for me???
was that a step by step instructions btw?
cheers  |
