I have never done such things with the phone so i said no... Please someone tell me what to do... Thx! Oh and one more thing,I am fully newbie with this android thing so far! Well say 'yes' despite what it says and it should work! I got the exact confusing repsonse but said yes regardless (it won't hurt) Go back a page and you'll see I wrote down the exact things I did to unbrand my Orange SF although I used the 65pence app to remove programs: Copy universal Androot from my pc to the SD card on the SF (I created a folder called androot and copied into there) Downloaded 'Astro' file manager from market place Downloaded 'Busybox' from market place Downloaded and paid 64p for 'SystemApp Remover' from market place I started Astro file manager, located the Universal Androot file, open app manager, launch, select 'superuser for android 2.0-2.2, press 'Go Root' ignore that it says it's already rooted (cos it didn't work!) and press 'root me please' wait then it says 'woot your device is rooted' (sic), exit. Run Busybox installer, click ok, click 'install', when it says 'Status:Done!' then exit *(maybe only have to do this the once?) Run 'SystemApp remover' and now (and only when rooted) can you access the'system apps' tab to uninstall 'System Apps' (Orange apps) Scroll through list of crud to remove (maybe use the 'backup' option before uninstalling for good just in case.

Yep youre right, for some reason it thinks its already rooted when you first install it, which is not the case, so pressing yes to it actaully does root the phone.

Guest milkykung Posted November 10, 2010 Report Share Posted November 10, 2010 Also for others, Titanium looks like it works for everyone, but I haven't tried it so don't know, but I think it does... Just to confirm that Titanium worked for me as well. It is recommended by "targetbsp" to click "Problems" before doing anything else so that the latest BUSYBox version can be downloaded and installed. This worked perfectly fine for me. Thank you everyone ^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bet your one of those who posts on the app store "also available at so n so site" New to Android but not stupid , thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest xeyaztian Posted November 10, 2010 Report Share Posted November 10, 2010 (edited) shawn0 youre wrong And I think if you've read this thread then you'd realise that. And if you still think what you think, who cares? I've done this to help others, if you don't like it that's fine.

Guest 1jim Posted November 11, 2010 Report Share Posted November 11, 2010 A very easy guide even for me!! Just one thing, after uninstalling the apps i don't need, is it ok to leave: Universal Androot System App Remover BusyBox on my phone in case i need them again??? Thanks guys, just used these 3 programmes/apps and have removed most of orange stuff, will I need the programmes again, should I remove them to save more space?

Guest Gibbo501 Posted November 12, 2010 Report Share Posted November 12, 2010 thanks, should i get rid of Astro as well? No, ASTRO File Manager is great. "Filer" is the stock file manager app. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest xeyaztian Posted November 12, 2010 Report Share Posted November 12, 2010 (edited) thanks, should i get rid of Astro as well? You can get rid of astro, but redownload it if you ever want to run androot again. Oh and in reply to Gibbo501, yep it is good, if youre downloading apks and installing them through SD Card you may aswell keep it, but if you dont use it for anything other than the rooting thing it may aswell go.

Guest xeyaztian Posted November 12, 2010 Report Share Posted November 12, 2010 thanks guys....might keep this, didnt know apps (is that same as apks) could be saved on sd card Well the apk files can be saved on the SD Card but when you install them it goes onto the phone, its the one downside to Android 2.1 in my opinion. But for example you could keep the Universal Androot and BusyBox apks saved on you're SD Card which wont take space up on you're phones memory and if you need them again just install them whenever you want.

From what I read this may be better and get rid of one step out the process... i'll look it up, thanks! :rolleyes: Didn't work on my phone, it just got stuck in attempting to Root it, but will keep a watch on it as that would be useful as it installs BusyBox at the same time!

Broadcast ssid it seems it was not scanning as picked up 1 all day, but on first setup the wifi comes on tested in orange shop before but didn't see a network. Nothing to do with debranding as this one sweet lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TY4ur good info. It bundles and installs Busybox the same way Titanium backup does ^^ But the latter could search for the latest version from the market. I'm wondering if Z4root does the same?!?!
