This is how to get rid of all the annoying operatorrelated and any other irrelevant data.

A very simple two step procedure.

1: Go into 'settings', '7 Master reset' and '2 Reset all' - press 'Yes'
---Get a stopwatch timer---
Enter phone PIN (0000)
Press 'Yes' and start the timer.
---Before 10s has passed, remove the battery---
Wait 30s
2: Insert battery and turn on your phone.
---Before 5s has passed, remove the battery---
Wait 30s

When reseating the battery and starting up your phone...
You will find the following missing:
All operator software
All images
All sounds
All themes
All templates
All games
...and these still there:
All SMSs
All Events
All Contacts

Free space: 965kb!

Now you can use 'Send file' and a data cable to put whatever you want into your phone.

I don't know if this works on all S-E. I only own a T230
I might be imagening it, but it seems a lot quicker aswell

/Regards
Magnus

This doesn't unlock a network lock. I didn't say it would either.

It works exactly as specified.
