Remove o2 rom and replace with an Orange rom - MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General

Could someone pleas help!
I have an Xda11 (the one without the pull down keyboard). i have unlocked it and am using an Orange sim card! could someone please tell me how i can remove all o2 pictues (ie when you do a soft reset the o2 picture appears) and replace it with an orange picture.
The other annoying things is when i use the phone the o2 logo shows in the background and would like to be able to use an orange pic or even better a personal picture.
cheers and thanks for your help in advance!
Regards
Daddy H

the one way you can do this is do a hard reset, when the xda starts to install all its o2 stuff do a soft reset and bam! you have a blank xda
no branding at all....its half way there

Request for advice from an green non-techie
I used the phone ROM update from the O2 Website on my perfectly working and very entertaining XDA. I now have an attractive silver paperweight.
During the upgrade process the phone locked. After an hour I soft then hard reset the phone. When I now boot I get the O2 start-up screen which slowly leads to a white screen, blue bar at the top and keyboard symbol in the lower right. Hard resets return the same and the 'soft' reset button doesn't function. MIGHTY ANNOYING.
Whilst I appreciate this will probably mean a trip to the shop and lack of phone for 2 weeks (ie it's buggered), I would appreciate it if someone would tell me what has actually happened and if there is a 'magic' solution.
As expected O2 didn't show much interest. God forbid I should buy their premium product.....
You can download new ROM and radio stack from Jeff, and ugrade again :wink:

Urgent Request (XDA II Locked, Total Noob , Please help!)

Hi all,
first off all i'd like to say Hi to everyone as im new here.
Also id like to thank everyone for readingmy problems
Any way i purchased an XDA II about a Week ago from Ebay its really my fault as in the item description it said there was a problem with the phone it wont start as its locked.
The phone goes to a Blue screen after you ON it and do the screen configiration etc
The blue screen has Cognito on it saying 'Warning this Devcie is Locked'
then under it:
'If you are installing from the MMC card please wait.
Otherwise, either insert the MMC card and do a cold boot, or contact Cognito to unlock the device.
Im not sure what this means and if i leave the phone for a while or type it from it takes me to a password screen in white with the keyboard on it.
----
Im not sure what to do if you can help me you will save me alot of money otherwise do i just chuck the phone away also
ive tried a Hard Reset by clicking the POWER BUTTON, RESET KET.
nothing happens just the phone loads up and makes me Calibrate the screen.
Ive tried this process while also pressing the D-PAD i get a screen with Serial with V1.06 i think at the bottom

XDA Exec questions.

Hi i have just installed the lastest rom for my XDA exec, v1.13.188. However after the install i have a few questions.
1) Where can i get the gprs monitor from as its gone?
2) Where has the 02 symbol gone from the top taskbar
3) Where has the battery icon gone from the same place?
Thanks.
Im new to this but I have just done the ROM upgrade.
Did you do the basic install ?
After the upgrade I soft reset my PDA and got the o2 logo back.
Has the batery icon gone small and at the bottom of the screen? Mine did this. I went into settings :- today :-Items and ticked BatteryNFO and it comes back.
As for the GPRS stuff I got this on a disk with o2 and had to put it back on. But its rubish anyway. so I took it off again.
Hope this helps.
Like I say am new to this.
Yes i did the basic update, i cant find the cd with the file on for the gprs.
I will try the today options for the Battery info.
I have soft reset the phone and i still dont have an 02 logo, strange.
I'm sorry I could not be any more help.

SPV M600 Keeps soft resetting and other issues...

Guys I recently purchased a brand new SPV M600 from ebay and when I say its new, trust me because it was completely sealed and no marks/scratches on the M600 plus all the wires/leads were sealed etc, and he even sent me the invoice from Orange stating the date of purchase, accidentally I think as it contained his home address and telephone number!
Now when I first turned it on and charged the battery etc, I had a little play with it and it all seemed fine. I took it to work with me that day and at work it started to act strange.
First it started by soft resetting itself while I was in the SETTINGS window just tweaking all the bits and bobs to my liking. Anyway it started up again and this time it seemed ok. I tried opening all the menus etc as I had done before but it didnt soft reset again which was a little relief!
It worked fine for the next 10-15 mins after which I put it away and started doing some work which is what I should've been doing in the first place!
I got home in the evening and sat in from of my PC and turned on the PPC and this time it started at the Splash Screen instead of coming out of stand by! Weird as I didnt reset the device and its on Button Lock so it couldn't have happened by accident whilst being in my pocket!
The only problem was though, this time it stayed in the splash screen and wouldnt go past that! I soft reset it again but still no luck!
So I then went for the kill and did a hard reset, not that I lost anything as I didnt have any information on there. After the hard reset, it goes past the splash screen on to the blue nice looking Windows 2005 screen but it stays stuck there!
Did a hard reset again and this time it worked but it crashed when it was installing the customisation tools! It needed a soft reset again! After that it seemed to work ok... only for a little while before it started all over again!
Now this was the original Orange Rom and I have no idea which one it was and I didnt care because it had to go!
I came here and found that our friend Jester was upto his old tricks again and had released a modified version of the Qtek Rom, so I went for it and installed it without any problems (except for his very original spash screen which scared the hell out of my little sister and I didnt find it very comforting either but soon had it changed with Jester's HTC Splash screen).
But unfortunately the problem still remains and the same thing keeps happening. It soft resets itself once in a while and when I do a hard reset it gets stuck in either the Splash Screen or at the next screen which is the Windows 2005 blue screen.
Its like trial and error really, when you guys want to hard reset your prophet all you have to do is do it once, but I have to keep trying at least 2-3 times.
In some cases I need to do a hard reset and then a soft reset soon after when it gets stuck in the Windows 2005 blue screen! And even then its not over because when it gets to the installation of the customisation software, theres a good chance it'll crash there and will need a soft reset!
I tried to install the original Qtek Rom, the one which Jester modified a little but it wouldnt work and I'm guessing I only have the CID lock to thank for that! Mines a G4
Any idea guys? I'm totally screwed here as I cant send it back to the guy I bought it from because I have changed the Rom and thats not good because he cant send it back to Orange to get a replacement! I wish I hadnt changed the Rom and just sent it back to him but I thought it was a software issue.
I'm not convinced its a software issue anymore though!
If you made it this far then I apologise for making this post too long (was longer but I had to to edit out like 1/4), and bloody hell is that the time!
Anything from anyone would be much appreciated.
All the best.
My friend you should try to format your phone and install new operating System...Similar problem happened to me (mine just freezed and I had to reset it) so the new OS is the solution of your problem...So when you do that,tell us if everything is ok..And one more thing---This little mobile device is THE BEST you'll ever get for that amount of money-so keep it and take care my friend...
Greetings!
Alix, thanks for your post. I'm not too sure about that because like I said, it came with the original Orange Rom and even then it was like this, and after upgrading to the latest Qtek Rom, the problem still continues. So somehow I dont think its the software. I mean I hope it is the software as thats an easy fix if I can somehow get my CID unlocked and right now thats not possible on G4 Roms, unless I'm wrong and falling behind?
I have a feeling its the hardware and if it is then I'm screwed!
Thanks for your reply and hope to hear from others soon.
Have you tried to replace the battery? some times the battery causes this kind of behavior when its not supplying enough power to the phone.
try to HR with the phone connected to a wall charger (not to pc) and see how it goes.
if it reboots OK, so probably its a battery issue.
Shayd that was good thinking and I tried it right away but unfortunately it wasnt the case. It still needed 3 tries... one hard reset followed by two soft resets before it went past the Splash Screen.
I've just about had enough with this thing!
Thanks nonetheless.

PS...does anyone have any experience/news on the new Nokia N95? im lookin at upgrading to one, an well, if anyone has any bad experiences/insider info pls email us

just a few questions

hi all i got a vario 1 yesterday and ahve no idae what they can do as i got it from my partner who liked it but couldnt use it hence why i now have 2 phones. anyway as its on t-mobile i undersatn how to get it unlocked with lokiwiz etc but can i get rid of the dreadfull t mobile stuff and change it all to o2 like on the xda or is that not possible .
Well, the T-Mobile stuff, or customizations, are stored mostly (visible to users) are in the splash screen and the EXT-ROM. The cleanest way of doing it is to flash a new ROM to it, which I won't recommend unless you really know what you are doing. This would give you a very clean O2 looks of it.
Another way, probably the simplest, is just avoid installing the EXT-ROM at all. To do this, you will need to hardreset your phone (Clear Storage - wiping everything and back into factory settings). And upon the 1st boot up, after the security configuration (e.g. just after the PIN select screen), soft reset your phone (poke the reset), which will avoid installing stuff from the EXT-ROM. Now you will have a clean phone (no customizations), except for the dreaded 1st splash screen for every soft reset, which I can live with.
If you want O2 looks, you can get those stuff from O2's EXT ROM (however you get these) and install each of the CAB file manually. Other than the software from O2, the looks of O2 should be fairly easy to achieve.
how do i do a hard reset as i said only had a chance to even look at the phone today . dont even no if its any good lol. and im guessing the soft reset is on the back behind the cover near camera lense.
also does the front cover come off with ease cos it could do with a lick of paint.
It will be difficult for me to give you the details when you dont even have the phone.
You can get the hardreset sequence at the Wizard Wiki (on top of this screen, XDA-Wiki), go to the Wizard section, and look/search (e.g. using your web browser) for 'hard reset'. At your phone, Start-Settings-System-ClearStorge will do the job too.
Soft reset 'hole' is on the side. Take time to read the manual.
good idea lol . got the phone here now thing is were we got it from i never got a usb cable in the box so got to buy one before i can go putting things on etc thanks for your help much appreciated. oh yeah will i still be able to surf the net etc when its got an o2 sim payg
you will need to get the GPRS/Internet settings for O2. Do a google on the settings. You can try HTC website, they ought to have some CAB for it. Do a search on this forum.
the service manual link is in my signature if you really want to try painting it
