I, like many, have a T300 from T-Mobile. The self-promoting bastards think it's really cute to have their own personal crap embedded in the phone and I know many of us hate it. I've done the 13 second trick, but I don't like deleting all of the pictures and themes that the phone came with (doesn't really free up any memory in then end anyway, as I think we all have discovered). The only things that really annoy me that I can't change are the shutdown screen and the T-Zones logo on the desktop. Does anyone out there know of a way to delete just these few things without deleting everything else that SE installed on the phone? If there were a way to change that shutdown screen and that T-Zone icon, I would much appreciate the info. I just don't like distributors staking a claim on something that isn't really their's to begin with. I love SE, but my phone is unlocked so it's not even on T-Mobile's service! I want their crap off!! Thanks for your time.

Hello, the only way to do it is to do the 13sec trick.

But doesn't that completely delete all of the pictures and themes? I tried it and not only did the pictures and themes go away but after reloading my games and my pictures I really only had saved about 40k. So what's the point if the memory is still be taken up by the preinstalled stuff, but you just can't use it?

There is a way to get rid of the startup logo ONLY. Go to SETTINGS>DISPLAY>USER GREETING.MY GREETING (you can select any STILL picture) or OFF. I did the same and got a Virgin Mobile SIM Card. I was NOT paying 30p a minute on T-Mobile.

Hi all,
I also got that T-Mobile crap and want to get rid off.
I don't care if I lose my preinstalled pics or themes, but I want to keep my pre-installed ringtones.
Is that possible?

It is possible to keep the pre-installed items but get rid of the T-Mobile stuff. You must do a 30 sec trick!
Master reset your phone, once done do another master reset but remove the battery at around 30 secs. This will leave you with all the pre-installed items n get rid of the T-Mobile shit.
Experiment, if this doesnt work try it at 28 secs or 32 secs. It will work as i have done this on mine and my girlfriends phones but the times seem to alter a tad on each phone
