It's a step-by-step instruction and it worked for me.
You shouldn't try to delete anything after the master reset only follow the instructions.

BTW, what firmware version do you use?

It looks like they fixed the bug that allows you to remove the predefined pictures in newer versions.

I'm using R1A081 03w20.... would it work on mine? i've done the flash to the rom and took away most of the voda live shit, except for the links which still lead to live!. anyway, i will try to do it again but then i need to backup all the ringtones and phonebook first i guess. cos the master reset will get rid of all that right?

cheers

If I was to try and remove all the Vodafone branding then would the icons change too?

It worked!

R1A Vodafone Live hadset now without the pics and I have loads more space for MY images.

I couldn't remove the themes but thats not too bad.

I'm a happy man, it takes a while but it's well worth it.

Remember to backup your data + contacts first )

i had my vodaphone live removed by flashing the rom. done by nick at mobilexchange... 95% non voda branded now, except for the links that still take you to live sites.... at least all the icons are back to original.... just got a 7250 today, it's not that bad at all... except for the screen resolution/color... but still prefer my t610 to it... easier to do file transfer between pc to phone. unlike 7250, cos u need the pc suite to transfer files between XP to phone.

Hi
as i played arround with my phone (R1L013) and this "get-the-branding-away-stepbystep instructions" i found out a much quicker and easier way to get rid of these branding-pictures. No need to fill up the memory...

1. do a master reset (so far so good

2. goto the display-settings and there enter the background picture- settings
now as there are no previews for all the pictures (you see the hourglass instead) the phone starts creating them... now quickly select the "branding" pictures (befor the preview picture is created) and 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.

thats all - worked for me... much easier without filling up the memory...

greets majto

@majto

Can you delete everything, this way? Even the Vodafone screensaver?

didnt work for me =(

R1L and vodafone

i still have 4 pictures (flower, ferrari, jump and butterfly)
and 2 themes (vodafone and blue)
and 3 ringtones (relaxed soul, funky pop and ibiza party)
and 1 game (minigolf)

could it be that a warning (low battery) came up in the middle of the process???
