I'm getting a T630 for Christmas, my brother is getting a T610. We got his of the net, sim free, so it's pure SE, straight from the factory, and I love the load up screen. My T630 is from an O2 shop, therefor it's tampered with, and has the O2 dolpins on start up and loads of other O2 crap that I don't wnat on my phone.
I've read around, and there are a few methods similar to the 13 (or 12.5, I can't remember) seconds trick for getting rid of all this preinstalled rubbish.
From experience, does anyone know what will work? And any concequences? I did a preinstalled memory wipe with my T300 before it got knicked, and it worked a dream - I'm just wondering if I'll lose VRally, as this sounds the best SE game there's been.
Thanks

The 13 sec trick is risky. U can try to replace the pics with the same named files sent to your fone from pc and replace v rally downloaded from se site, after it u could delete those

i have read one way to remove preinstalled items but it only removed the pics on my t610. but you can still try it though:
1. do a master reset of your phone.
2. when the phone turns on again, go to settings>display>wallpaper>set picture.
3. now heres the catch, you should be quick. since the pictures are still loading, you will get a picture of a hour glass which means that the pictures are still loading and it will give a promt to delete the pics. click yes until all the pics are deleted.
i saved a few bytes of memory this way. can't help you about the games though.

about the games.. just copy to your phone the same game.. or maybe filename.. then it will ask you to replace or not? then replace it then delete it.. |

Hi, I have just bought a second hand k700i that has O2 factory firmware installed. Does anyone know how to change the O2 logo to vodafone(that is what sim i am using) in the top left of the options screen and start up shut down screens. Would it sort it if i downloaded new firmware from the sony ericsson website? I have bought a desktop sync stand from ebay but i haven't got it yet. |

DSS don't help you to unbrand your phone. You need T28 cable and some logs to SE Flash Client
Sony Ericsson W900i. Just a little future ; ) Unofficial Polish Sony Ericsson Center - http://centrumse.euSony Ericsson, remind W900i is your phone. Buggy phone. Then give us new FW version! |

Thanks for the info. Is this the type of cable i should get? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBay[....]891546&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT
Will i still need my sync station to update my F.W once i have unbranded/flashed my phone? |

I have seen software that can access everyfile on the SE memory and from there you can delete those pictures, etc...
Might have to find it again.....Cant remember |

wow.. that was crazy reading. let me TRY to help.
o2 just customise the start up and shut down screens. you only see that when you switch on and switch off the phone. my opinion, stick to it, dont change anything and enjoy your phone.
now, voda has the worst branding. no one needs a voda branded phone. those ppl can use the third party sites to decostomise the phones, like the total multi server, davince server, or the setool to get rid of them. (these will reqiure you to flash the phone)
ppl on o2, if they still want can decostomise their phones.
dont worry about pre installed items, you can get it removed by the 13 sec trick. that will remove all the games, pics, sounds, themes... if you still want the game, just get a copy of it from the net.
dont worry, you will not loose all the games for ever. if you do another normal master reset without 13sec trick, you will get the phone back to original (just the way when you first turned it on)
hope this helps.
