Smile Wiping out the OS

Please Login to Remove!

I just purchase a AT & T 8900 but my service is with T-Mobil. Is it possible to wipe out the phones OS and AT & T Logo and Install T-Mobil's Logo and OS. Please may someone shed some light on this question. Thank you to everyone who participates.

No.
The logo cannot be wiped out.
You can install t-mobile's OS, but it wont look any different.

Wirelessly posted (Lets Go Canes!)

You may be able to find wallpaper with the carriers logo which can be easily created.

GAH!!! i am Sooooooo tired of this reply (and question...). YES! The logo and branding can be cleared / changed. I have done it many a time. Despite what - otherwise well educated - people feel entitled to say, debranding and changing the carrier logo (as well as a ton of other information) is possible.

Once again: IT IS POSSIBLE and HAS BEEN DONE!


However, it is not for the faint of heart and is by no means complete. You can completely Sim unlock a phone, change its IMEI and PIN, Change the carrier number and logo, but you can’t change certain hardware related aspects...

Example: An 8900 branded to Att can be fully debranded to T-Mobile, but it will not feature UMA. UMA is partly dependent on the phones hardware and special software *within* the radio... I do not know how (or if it is possible) to change this radio software as to enable UMA.

Naturally, this all comes at a risk of bricking your phone (hard, but not impossible to do!) so if you don’t feel comfortable, don’t attempt. and of course, i, nor anybody else (including this website bear any responsibility for your actions.

But, i think it would be against the rules here for me to tell you too much about the software / means / tools needed to do them as they (in the US and a majority of other countries) are illegal.

I do not like censorship of any information, so i will offer you this: If you would like a little bit more information, you may PM me and ill tell you what i can w/i the accordance of the rules here.

Hence why its not talked about here.
A) illegal
B) can brick the phone
C) doesn't work on newer models (RIM has changed the way they encode, so that the illegal software no longer works).
