Removing Orange Software from C500

[Guest dleach2103]

Has anyone tried removing the Orange software from their unlocked C500? I've seen the info for sale on ebay, but wondered if any of you have links to Freeware?

I have an unlocked C500 and want to remove the Orange Start screen, webpage links and all the other annoying Orange software which no longer has any relevance.

Any ideas?

Thanks

All the information can be found in the Customisation and Articles sections of the site, it takes a little time to do but it is possible.

One post is the tweaks topic from midnight.

You will probably find the ebay leech took their information from here

or another forum anyway ;)

So now you have an Orange SPV C500 running Qtek ROM for Typhoon. Great! Did the ROM flashing managed to remove the Orange logo on the handset? ;)

Yup, it's a Qtek now from the boot screen onwards. The reason why i changed is because i couldn't get gprs working with the orange firmware, as soon as i changed to qtek it worked no problems with basic settings. I'm on vodafone anyway.

There's a guide on this forum somewhere that you can follow. Was really easy.
