< Esato Forum Index > Sony Ericsson / Sony > General > R6A012: You CANNOT delete factory-installed items! Bookmark topic

After being pissed-off for a week with the T300 and the fact that one cannot delete factory-installed items, I went out and bought a brand new T68 which had been turned into T68i. It had R2E software and had not been used for a single minute. I bought it fot 270 Euros (which I thought was a good deal) and I rushed to upgrade it to R6A012. And guesss what??? Oh horror of all horrors!!...you CANNOT delete the factory items. It appears that they are deleted, but no memory is freed up, and after a master reset all 57 stupid SE icons (252 KB) reappear just like in the T300. You can permanently delete the incoming MMS's but the 2 prototype ones (35KB) cannot go away either! Total really free memory is 771KB. It leads me to assume that new T68i's with R6A will be stuck with these items forever. Anyone who wants to upgrade to R6A should delete all factory items, otherwise they will probably be recognized to be of SE origin and will become permanent!!!

I agree it's a good thing that they were restored after the upgread, but it's stuped and pointless, not to allow people to delete factory defaults
THnks for the info 2 bad i sent my phone for an upgread and they just called me tp collect it, hopefully it isn't the case with all

I've recently successfully flashed my T68i by myself from R5C001 to R5D007. I've only had it for just over 2months now so it's still under warranty with SonyEricsson.

How long does it take, roughly, for them to get the phone back to you if send it off? (Yes I'm in the UK and live in the South East )

All the SE-installed pictures and MMS templates that you haven't gotten rid of yet, and which you do not wish to become permanent. This post was posted from a T68i
