Changing the Operator Logo for Nokia 6101!

Hey everyone. I have finally got rid of my 'Rogers' operator logo from both screens of my Nokia 6101. I just thought I'd share it with you all.

I'm using a DKU-5 data cable and MobiMB Mobile Media Browser v3.1. You can download the free trial version of this program at

HTML Code:

. There are some limitations but you can still use it to change your operator logo.

First connect the phone and establish your connection to mobiMB. Once the program has found your phone, go to the 'Gallery' folder.

Click on 'Photos' in the sub directory and all your pictures in the phone should appear.

You should have already downloaded a blank operator logo onto the phone by now but if not you can just drag it into your picture section. I used this one and it worked fine:

HTML Code:

http://www.freemobilefun.net/wallpapers/v/7698/blank-operator-logo/128x160/

Once you have that, click on the file name (blank-operator-logo) and then go to the 'Actions' menu. Scroll down to where it says 'Use As' and click on Operator Logo. If you right-click on the file name it also says 'Use As' but that is only for the full version of the program.

That's it. So easy. Enjoy.

thats cool, not really new news though, but ive managed to do it a different way, by sending a blank op logo through OTA through the network, and the phone still received it, the only difference is i didnt have to save a file in my phones gallary.

i got rid of the operator logo ..thanks so much ..

but the ****ing date is still hanging around ..can anyone suggest something to get rid of that ?

To get rid of the date is easy.
Just go to the Menu - Settings - Time and Date - Date - click on 'Hide Date'
It should then say "date hidden"

Hope this helps.

I just did exactly what you said, downloaded the logo and everything but it does nothing. Still wont go away. When I go into the phone the select operator logo its greyed out so I cant select anything. WHen you try it says "No Operator Logos present" Please help me. Phone is unlocked but was a T-mobile phone to begin with.....I hate thier stupid logo in the middle of my picture.........especially when I pay $160 for a phone.

Did you use MobiMB with the data cable or infrared/bluetooth? Or did you just save the blank operator image onto your phone? It should work.

Posted by: frog12

I used IR connection.

Went into and and selected it as the operator logo. But on the phone that option is greyed out and it says no opereator logos found.

I went to www.jhonny.org/wap and entered code "1", downloaded the operator logo, saved it, and it worked like a charm. i have a 6101 with tmobile service. I also now have the option to turn the operator logo on and off, as to where it was greyed out before.

Worked perfectly.

Worked a treat through IRDA. Thanks guys. Also, using other "use as" features, like menu wallpaper, does that work with a 6101, is there any risk, can it be set back to default, and what works?

I'm assuming you have a 6101 and you saved the download.
Now go to menu>settings>main display and make sure "operator logo" is "ON". This turn on the blank logo you downloaded.

I have the same problem. Using nokia 6101 unlocked from T-mobile. I dont have data plan so i the blank logo from my sony w800 via IRDA. it went thru and stay in the "Received files" folder. I tried to move the blank logo to Images, Graphics, Wallpaper, Clip-art, Screen saver folders but the option to turn the operator logo on i still gray out under the Settings > Main Display...

anyone else got an idea to solve this ? I do not have any cable or programs, just a free 6101 found layin on the street.

From his post it appears you need to go to the folder where you saved the blank logo, click on the blank logo file to open it, click options (or actions), use as, Operator Logo.

Maybe the OP can come back and clarfy this if I have it wrong.

Figuring that the 3220 is the same phone (basically) as the 6101 (other than the screen size) I just did this same trick and it worked! Thanks!

I feel like I'm constantly repeating myself, as I've mentioned this before and no one read it. Oh well.

1. Menu>Web
2. Go To Address: reallyboom.com/?12
3. Phone should make a "Message recieved noise."
4. Close the Browser and the menu.
5. Should say "Operator Logo Recieved"
6. Accept the message and save the logo...
7. I don't recall if I had to set the operator logo "on" or if it did automatically.

I was looking for the blank operator logo and came across my post from almost a year ago, sweet.
