Debranding W760a

[elijahblake]

well, i didn't debrand it again, i actually just used SEUS and updated the phone, which made me loose all my mods. Took me a while to add them all back...


The unlock up key mod
make the left soft key the camera
make the right soft key Files (file manager)
acoustic mod
milky wave camera driver mod..

Have any of you guys did the recent upgrade? My w760 was blazing fast but after i put the above mods back in the file system it got back to the slightly slower speed. With the occasional freeze..

...And I ended up rebranding it because the debranded software lacked the Rogers messaging, email, and backup software that I liked. The only thing it let me do that I couldn't do before was manually switch from 3G to GSM and use MP3s as ringtones. I can live with the Rogers logo showing up every time I turn it on and off, and I have DRM Packager for the MP3 problem.

Do you mind sharing on how you re-branded it back?
Thanks.

this has been asked before, and I'm still waiting for someone to figure it out... I've got several apps I'd like to delete myself.. Have you tried digging around using A2uploader to see if you can find them?

It's very easy to delete protected apps.

Use A2Uploader and navigate to:
TPA \ PRESET \ SYSTEM \ AMS

A2Uploader won't let you delete a protected file (i.e. won't let you delete a read-only file), so the trick is to over-write it with a new file that isn't read-only.

Therefore, upload a blank file with identical filename.extension to overwrite it. Now you can delete your blank file

[ESTO]

upload a cutomize_upgrade.xml which sets "deletable" to true for the files involved.

For example:

<image deletable="false" lock="false" unicode-name="Fido.png">image/Picture_Fido_342.4.png</image>

Mine was Rogers too and I was able to do it.


Did you install Gordon Gate's Flash Driver? Correct me if I'm wrong but this is how I got my computer to detect the phone.

Did you install Gordon Gate's Flash Driver? Correct me if I'm wrong but this is how I got my computer to detect the phone.

For what it's worth, on my XP machine, I had to install SEUS (vs. the Flash drivers advertised elsewhere and/or the ones provided with/by Davinciteam client) as otherwise I could only connect the phone to the PC once. Subsequent connections would show an error for the SEMC Flash driver in the Device Manager with an error along the lines of "an instance of this driver is already in memory". This would happen even if the first time the phone failed to connect for some reason.

After installing SEUS I can now connect / disconnect / reconnect the phone which makes it much easier to explore, esp. with a DB3210 where trying to read files locks up A2uploader's connection.
