T-mobile Customization

Hi,
Does anybody have any clue that how can I get rid of annoying T-mobile customization. And is it really safe to do so ?
Thanks

Do the BigStorage and install only Ext ROM apps you like.

Sorry mate, i didnt get that, please easy intructions
Thanks

Here are some links found in the Magician Upgrading forum.

If you don't like to do the BigStorage, the other option is to soft reset your device before the last option to tap screen after a hard reset so that all customizations don't get installed. With this option, the ExtROM is visible and you can select which ones to install.
Do a search and you would find tons of information/instructions.

Either procedure is quite easy but if you're not confident in doing them better don't as you can end up with a brick.

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!
Furhter steps are to install what you may require. Not necessary.

Not with my way.

Thanks for helping me, i did it and it really worked.

comes up as www.google.co.uk/pda, any idea why ?
Thanks again for this all help

That's the PDA version of google.
Highlight the o.uk and manually replace it with om

didnt work, it again opens www.google.com/pda . any idea ?
Thanks

No idea.
What's the benefit of the regular google? The PDA site is better designed for PDAs.

Gives u "full" google.

Ah now I see you flashed your phone to "death". It seems your nv_data.bin is corrupt. If you have no backup you are out of luck. (nv_data.bak or .nv_data.bak)
Here are the instruction how to rebuild your file if you have a bak file.

for real? i have no backup.. the first that i do is flash a i9000 firmware with an captivate kernel because there was a lot of at&t apps on the phone!
thx for the link, but no success
i order two unlockcodes on trusted websites because i still waiting for a code...
out of luck for real??? because i have my imei number, not the wellknown corrupt one!

Please search the forum. There is someone there that can rebuild it for you. I suppose he cannot disclose the method due to the forum policy (something regarding changing/setting IMEI).
There is always a way
If that is not possible, then, there are sites that you can BUY the unlock code for your phone given the IMEI.

I have the same problem for I9000B in Argentina, I'm missing the .nv_data.bin and the Bak file it's corrupt, Can somebody give a URL to Unlock the Phone. I'm continuos recieving the msg "Put PIN for SIM".
**EDIT
I used this version to recovery the functional operation on my SGS I9000B_JH4_JI3_JH2_JH4_VJ_ARO. Please tell me if you need some more data.
Thanks in advance

Bump.
Thanks a lot XDA for this thread! I'm in the same hole as H03! Currently attempting to rebuild the nv-bak.bak file now... Wish me luck!

did they remove the long task manager app on the initial home screen? I can't see it now after the upgrade.. yey!

you can try this way, I am not sure whether it will work or not.
but if you succeeded, pls share you experience, many thanks

Omnia 7 mi7ROM, what is it for?

Hey guys,
I just saw this rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1499102
I read through a few posts but the point of this rom isn't very clear to me.
Does it add anything more than developer unlocking to your phone (does it even add that?) And should I unlock my phone with cheveron first or is that not necessary?
Also, my current (stock) rom doesn't have a 2G/3G switch. Any ideas if this rom has it?
Thanks!

The ROM is a "full unlock". This surpasses developer, Chevron and Interop. It allows apps to run on your phone with heightened privileges. Opera browser for example. It includes Registry editors, homebrew apps, Nokia sounds etc.
It isn't necessary to do anything before flashing, just follow the instructions properly! Yes, it includes a choice of your highest connection speed: 3G or 2G.
It's just a better experience all round!

That sounds good. Any idea how it affects battery life?
I'll give it a try tomorrow.
Hopefully there's a wat to keep currently installed apps en text messages. Any idea about that?

Hey mirolog,
the reason I had to open a new thread is because I don't have 10 posts yet so I couldn't reply to yours. Thank you for your reply!

Hehehe! Bet you feel bad now miro
Regarding battery life: it hasn't got worse, if anything mine is better!
Love this phone more and more every day because of this ROM.
Definitely worth flashing it.

Fresh Start!

Hello,
After messing the devices whatsoever!
i want to do a fresh start, clean install !
i've downloaded the full rom last december...
Started back in fastboot and flashing, but the boot doesn't work...
i guess i'm missing something in the install... still some slots A and B etc etc
What would be the best way to make a fresh start ? should it be slot A or B ?
because for the moment, i cant restore my device

Flash the newest available firmware with MiFlash tool selecting "Clear all" in the bottom right corner.

Really bro? Do you know how to flash the ROM properly? If not you're being a complete a**hole as people will put their resource on that problem just because you don't follow the flash instructions properly. You're issue is really weird and shouldn't be occurring at all, maybe that's a hardware issue or some of the image files of the Stock ROM you download must be corrupt.

Hello EdWin
Thanks for the very nice answer. Its a pity you lost that much time for such an idiot answer
I've been flashing phones since first release of android and no phone has ever been bricked...
- So yes i know how to flash a rom...
Lately i've notice the android structure changed, talking about slots... Which i dont know very well...
- sorry being an asshole but I wanted to have an input on how to do a clear fresh start...
- concerning my issues... Confirm this is happening... On the October update i dont have any issue... And on December update touch screen is not working well, it work once after i shut down the screen and put it back on...
Unless you have anything constructive i suggest you dont loose anymore time to make stupid answer !

Have a look at my guide over here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-a1/how-to/ota-official-fastboot-image-n2g47h-7-12-t3728929
It should answer all of your questions and it includes the proper batch/ shell script files which automate the flashing for you straight away.
