Hmm, having said that the phone got stuck at the Orange logo this morning - not sure if it was to do with this install?

Did it again just now - I suppose I could try a hard reset and hope it goes away? What normally causes these sort of hangs?

Are there firmware updates that cure these (although its a new phone so I assume it must be up to date)

Would appreciate any help - thanks.

I wouldn't have signed up for a new E650 without knowing that it was possible to get rid of the Orange branding! Thanks smile.gif

Awesome work Paul! I don't know what the hell Orange were thinking when they did this to their ROM.

It took some time for me to find this thread though, after trying the S710 debrand pack in my naievity and reading through the thread. Might be an idea to sticky this one or link it from the first post of the S710 Debrand thread?

Thanks again!

The two just under the screen either side of the joystick, used for the start menu etc when the device is running.

Turn off phone
Hold both softkeys
Briefly tap power until you get a message on screen confirming hard reset (tap fractionally longer on the power button if it doesnt work 1st time)
Press the green key

Or just go to "clear storage" on your start menu, it does the same thing wink.gif)

I upgraded to an SPV E650 on the sole basis of this thread, as I hate the fact that Orange brand their phones with all sorts of crap. I upgraded from a SE W850i, which I also debranded and unlocked because Orange branding tends to seriously mess with the phones ability to function normally.

Rest assured, as soon as it arrives today, the SPV will be debranded using your method, so I'd just like to say a big thanks.

Just one question though, your instructions make no mention of using the App Security removal tool from France Telecom first - is this an essential step?

Great program, many thanks Paul. A big improvement over the Orange styling!

I have to confess though, I do like the Orange home screen arrangement, with the icons down the left-hand side. I'm not keen on the colours or styling though.

On my E650 the Java application icon in the Start Menu appears as a large, lowercase 'e'. Is that intentional?

Hi

I just want to say a big thanks to Paul for the Orange SPV E650 fix-pack. (I was just about sending it back to Orange)
I installed the full de-brand pack 2 days ago and what a difference it's made to my mobile.

It now runs great with no crashes so far and also looks good, i must say i don't know what Orange was thinking about with that dull theme.

I just happened to search the internet to see if i could fix problems with my mobile and came across your website, and im glad i did, very handy site and forum.

1 Question for you.
How do i remove a dead "Shortcut" from the Toolbar at the top, The Shortcut has a "windows icon" on it with a white background. and when clicked it says " "error opening shortcut or locating the target filename".

Thanks again for all your hard work.
