Hey everyone!
I used the search, but didn't find a match for my question.
I have a Vodafone branded X1 and don't want to flash another rom (not yet).
I have erased the Vodafone settings under "Connections" so it shouldn't connect to anything Vodafone WAP/GPRS/UMTS, right?
Now I need to get rid of the 3 Vodafone Icons named "VF E-MailConect etc" in the Programmsmenü. Any way to delete them?
Thanks!
Hi
Get a file Explorer (Total Commander/Resco - I can Attach the former if you need because it's freeware)
Go to \Windows\Start Menu\Programs
Delete any shortcuts you don't want.
Also, to properly disable the voda rubbish (I also have UK Voda Xperia) Just reflash with Generic UK, No HardSPL required, and it fixes a lot of the Voda muck ups.
P.S. Deleting the connections I found didn't really "delete" them, and the phone can still connect to them when it needs to.
Instead, install an app called "NoData" and toggle them to disabled. it can also be done with Advanced Config (I believe). Again, i can attach the files if needed.
Thank you so much for your answer!
I'll get the Total Commander and install NoData!
I have a German Vodafone branded phone. I never read before that I don't have to use HardSPL to get the unbranded Rom working. Are you sure about that one? Thanks a lot!
Yep
Yep, 100%, I refused to mess with my SPL so I tried out the Generic UK ... now I can update my Xperia from Sony Ericsson Updater as if it were a standard generic.
Of course in your case you would use the Deutsch ROM.
Great! And how do you do that? I've only read about the method using HardSPL and renaming the image to Kovsimg.nbh and put it on a MicroSD. I guess that won't work with the normal SPL?!
Yep

Hehe, luckily you guessed wrong.
Put Kovsimg.nbh on your memory card, restart, hold VolDown+Pwr.

As long as it's the "Official" image (get it from Xperia ROM download thread) it works just fine, I did it just to try and it worked

So here is the procedure of getting rid of T-Mobile's customization:
The whole proccess means you will do a hard reset and you will be installing everything from the beggining! So if you don't want that to happen you have to stay with T-Mobile's customization!
Step 1
Hard reset your MDA Compact (power+soft reset). Do all the neccesary steps (choosing your country and timezone) and when you get in the screen that tells you to tap the screen in order to start working have your stylus at the soft-reset hole tap the screen with your finger and do a soft reset IMMMEDIAELY AFTER YOU TAP THE SCREEN!
Step 2
Your MDA compact will restart without any customization it will be a clean Windows Mobile 2003SE. With the file manager go to the Extended ROM folder that is now visible and install the following files:
Caller_ID_WWE_RC10.CAB
Camera_Patch_WWE_B15.sa.CAB
GPRSMonitor_WWE.sa.CAB
Java_10.1.2.57_WWE.CAB
MMS_2.0.0.13_WWE.CAB
MMS_Settings_WWE_NL.CAB (This file will install the settings of T-Mobile NL but if you don't install it and then change the settings to your providers settings most probably will end up with MMS that does not work. So install those settings and change them accordingly to your providers settings)
Patch_101123.sa.CAB
Version_WWE_101124.sa.CAB
Zip_Magician_T-Mobile_WWE_B12.CAB
Those are all the files you need to install. For those who need intellipad and intellidialer they will also have to install the 2 files for those programs.

intellidialler does not work
I have a T-mobile MDA Compact in the UK.
If I follow these instructions it works fine - thanks. (SOme of the CAB files are UK versions or have later version numbers.
1. Is there a list anywhere of what each of these CAB files does?
2. The Dialler becomes crappy (formatting numbers in the US way, and not searching for contacts). The default microsoft colours are much more intuitive for showing missed calls/received calls etc in the recent calls list than the T-mobile palette, but i can't make the dialler search the address book in the very clever way it usually does. The intillidialler won't install either.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Nigel.
Has anyone found decent versions of intellipad and intellidialler to install after doing the debrand on a UK Compact?
Quick question, i did all this and it worked fine for me, orange sim is working happily away when i unlocked the device via IMEI check and installed the orange rom but i've lost the clearvue products suite. I've looked in the extended rom partition but i can't find it
love this thing tho...still fiddling with it 2 months down the line
and how do i get the default microsoft colours?

Can you tell me where can i find all those CAB's and intellipad and intellidialer CAB's. Please because I'm a new about this stuff :lol:
Really sorry - can someone point me in the direction of a tool that unlocks the extended ROM for a Wizard? I'ves searched but I can't find Am I being blind?
I need to free up some space and want to get rid of those imate .tsk files but need to unlock the ROM first.
Thanks

Ok Total commander gives you access to the extended rom using the method just posted above.
But if you want to actually have the extended rom showing all time, then you need this...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=33680&highlight=extended+rom
The extended rom unlocker will give the actual extended rom as space deginated extended_rom2 and its about 9.85mb size or something with between about 350kb and 2.5mb of .cab files in it depending on whether its a Qtek (Which has the least amount of files), I-mate, o2 or T-Mobile, these last two probably (along with Orange) will have the most 'junk in them.
Once you have ran the exteneded rom unlocker and soft reset your device it will be accesible through file explorer you won't need TC.
You can then go in and delete (be careful to make sure what everything does first) its your own responsibility, and remove what you don't need.
For example on the I-mate Extended Rom you cane remove Backgammon, Skype and the anti virus prog. There wasn't much on the Qtek Rom I just put on mine just clearvue and soemthing else inconsequential, there was no skype or antivirus, but I believe some Qtek roms might have this.
T-Mobile is abother story, there is a shedload of crap in the extended rom, ranging from a today screen toolbar to small progs, there is list knocking about of what each file does. When I changed from T-Mob to I-mate and then Qtek I just transferred the T-Mobile GPRS settings and the GPRS disconnect button .cab and put them in the exteneded Rom myself and let it run.
Also on I-mate Rom there are carrier settings that you can delete which won't apply to you, basically lots fo countries phone settings, like o2 UK, T-Mobile Spain etc etc, depending on where you are in the world.
You can't delete the I-mate .tsk todayscreens as far as I know, they are not in the ExtRom. The Qtek ExtROm doesn't have the extra .tsk's just default and the Guava Bubbles one.
If anyone wants the T-Mobile GPRS .cab and GPRS disconnect button .cab I can send it through msn or email.
that doesn't work either. I treid with the unlocker and deleted the files with TC. If i check the content no files are there, but when i try to copy other files to the ext. Rom it says that the volume is write protected. I softreseted several times also.
Any hint on that ? How have all the others deleted the files in extended rom ?
Regards
Joachim

Might not work for you but it worked for me and a load of others. Once the extended rom is visible you can delete files easily, you don't need TC like I said. Its easier to put additional cabs into my documents sync them across and just run them.
Yeah, that's a pitty.... I have the Vodafone VPA Compact II, which is the Wizard 100 afaik.
Someone around here has the same model and succeeded in removing the cabs from the extended rom ?
Hi,
I'm really tired of debranding my MDA pro after a hard-reset and I would like to do the following:
-delete everything on my device (use the extended rom unlocker to unlock)
- install a "fresh" WM5
- configure the system
- create a complete backup of the system like the Norton-Ghost in the pc-world
Is that possible, and if so, how?
Where can I get a clean version of WM5?
Has anyone of you already done so?
How can I create a complete backup of the system?
I know that are a lot of questions and I'm thankful for every hint
C ya,
Elias
Shame on T-Mobile for the annoying branding!!!

I believe you can achieve this from the provided ROM itself by unlocking then deleting the ExtROM followed by a hard reset. You can then use other hacks from this site to delete or replace the splash screen and etc... to clean it up some more.
surely if you delete the extended rom and then do a hard reset the system wont work as youll be missing the majority of the installation, there are Cooked ROMS on the FTP site which people have created which I guess you can try at your own risk. I tried to remove all of the tmobile branding but found that they'd tied in some of crucial configuration after the branding process so when I soft booted before rebranding the XDA was only half complete... I too would like a good clean install without branding, unfortunatley I have to use the tmobile rom with its gay pink colours so that I can use their blackberry client.?

There are various programs out there that allow you to make a backup of your phone. Currently, I'm using BackupManager which generate an EXE files that you can save into your SD card such that you can restore your phone without having to reinstall the backupsoftware itself. I know that there are better software out there you can use. I think they call it phone clone or something, which uses your pc to store and clone the phone.

I have relatively the same problem, that my phone doesn't support MMS. However, if you were to extract the ext rom (by any means) to get the CAB files within, you can choose which to install or not. I think you pretty much need to guess what each of them means.
Thank you for your answers
I think I'm gonna try the backup-manager.
Now I wll start another post "Avoid T-mobile branding by install Jasjar or Dopod-ROM?"
For all those who has problems with the new dopod wm6 network error you can now copy these files into your windows folder it will ask to overwrite select yes to all and then you can reset (optional) go into settings again and you will see another network icon which can be used for all.
You can use total commander which i think is the best file explorer

Nice...nice
This isnt working for me, I copyed them to the windows folder, but it didnt ask me to overwrite anything, no change in settings, I dont suppose you know what the manual settings should be, I thought I had found them on this site, but I think it was for Germany, it didnt connect anyway.
thanks in advance
John
its okay I found the correct settings
Does this only apply to European network providers or Worldwide?
thanks.
This didn't work for me either, I get a error in program message
any ideas how to add other networks that the ones in the package?

Hey everyone!
I wanted to get confirmed what I read today. Just to make sure
Is it true that you can flash the new Generic DE Rom on a Vodafone branded DE Rom without doing the HardSPL thing first?
Is it really done by naming the image Kovsimg.nbh without using HardSPL?
I don't want to mess with the SPL, so that would be great.
If you are referring to the post in which I posted as well, then yes.
I had a t-mobile NL branded and flashed a generic UK rom on it without using Hardspl.
As long as it is a ROM that is on SEUS, then it can be applied without HardSPL as it is digitally signed by SE.
I overwrote my O2 branded R1A ROM for the Generic UK R2A ROM without HardSPL.

G'day ZenithUK,
What method did you use to upgrade your ROM? Did you use jackleung's microSD method as per http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=445662?
Yes, that's the exact method I used.
Just ignore point 0.
Yep
As I have mentioned in several threads to several people, I have done the same, using the Generic UK ROM (Official) posted in the ROM thread.
The only thing stopping you flashing a different ROM is whether or not it's official (signature), not the region it comes from, since all regions are still digitally signed.
Cooked ROMs of course do not work because they are not digitally signed.
I've downloaded a couple of ROMs and after I extract them I get; APP_SW_X1i_GENERIC_UK_KOV_R2A.exe and APP_SW_X1i_GENERIC_UK_R2AA010.exe, the latter is the later and most up to date one (I think?). Is this the file you rename and copy to the microSD card?
Sorry for the noob questions, but I find this a bit scary and I don't want to brick my phone.
Thanks

They are self extracting archives. Run them on your PC to extract the image (Change hte default path because it noticed it defaults to the system folder in the windows dir.) then copy the image to your device.
Sorry me again ...
After I run app on my PC I get APP_SW_X1i_GENERIC_UK_CDF1215-1832_KOV_R2AA010.image. Ok now I rename this file Kovsimg.nbh, copy it to the micro-sd, put it in my X1, big deep breath and away we go. Is that correct?

Yes
Correct....
Today my 2GB MicroSD arrived which I wanted use for flashing.
1) I formatted it to FAT32
2) I downloaded the Generic German Rom from PavelX1
3) I extracted the image and renamed it
4) I put the Micro in my X1 and took the batterie out and put it back in
5) I started the bootloader and it says "Loading" for less than a second and than "No image found!" for a millisec.
6) The 4 colored-screen comes up with the color at the bottom beeing just white with "Serial" in it.
I don't think I did something wrong... Maybe the Generic vom PavelX1 isn't the original signed Generic? Any idea where I can download it?

Is the rom you downloaded a cooked room (custom rom) if so you need to hardspl (search forum) if its offical SE rom you should be ok.
It's the one provided by PavelX1 as Generic DE.
I tried the Generic from a different source and it still says "No Image file!" on the 4 colored screen.
So it doesn't work without HardSPL on a German Vodafone branded phone
Edit: NO matter of HardSPL BUT a matter of the right MicroSD!
I could have tried forever with my 2 GB Kingston... I tried with a 8 GB NoName and it worked like a charm!
