this is the translation out of two threads here in the cx65 and m65 section how to debrand your cx/m65

I tested it with my cx65v (vodafone)

you' need

OD-Tool http://download.siemens-club.ru/files/x65/od.rar
S25@once or MPM it tested both
original contents of the "Config" folder http://www.mushyonline.de/Config_x65_ohne_Branding.zip
a xml editor (EDITING THE XML FILES WITHA TEXT EDITOR WON'T WORK)
of course a cx/m65 phone


now how to do

connect your phone (turned on) to the PC via cable or IrDa
start od.exe select your Com port, click "do it" button wait for message "done" and click "ok"
start S25@once or MPM and you'll find two additional folders "Config" and "Cache"
EVERYTIME YOU TURN YOUR PHONE OFF YOU'LL HAVE TO START WITH 2. AGAIN


BEFORE YOU GO ON MAKE A BACKUP OF THOSE TWO FOLDERS !!!

so now how to get rid of the branded right soft key
(always remeber I did it with a vodafone branded but should work with T-mobile branding too)

go to the folder \Config\Default\MagicLink
copy MagicLinks.xml to your PC or take the one you downloaded with the unbranded folder content
edit MagicLink.xml with xml editor
delete everything between <bml></bml>
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!-- DOCTYPE bml SYSTEM "bml.dtd" -->
<bml>
</bml>
copy MagicLinks.xml back to \Config\Default\MagicLink
turn your phone off and on again
now the vodafone live or T-zone softkey button is gone and you can choose your own setting for the right softkey (left softkey is still fixed maybe we'll find a solution soon)
also all more sounds,pictures.... are gone


now to the menu icons
at the moment it doesn't really work with the vodafone version but lot of t- mobile owner wrote that it worked with their phone to change the icons into the original siemens icons

to the od.exe precedure again
replace everything in the \Config\japp\Flexmenu folder with the content of your downloaded \Config\japp\Flexmenu
restart your phone

with a vodafone phone only the arrangement of the icons changes with a t-mobile you'll shoud have the original siemens icons

and please don't ask me about guarantee :twisted:

thx to
sIngle author of od tool
monsun77 who wrote th german how to
mushy for the unbranded config content
and last but not least
to myself :lol: [/quote][/list]

IMPORTANT!
After unbranding a phone with T-Zones key (the key UNDER the joystick), you can select the new function for this key ONCE.
We haven't found out yet to change it afterwards. So think well about it before choosing a function.

i have these icons in my cx65 - has t-mobile or vodafone other icons?

BlueEye

Yes, that's right. The Vodafone and T-Mobile brandings include modified icons. Somewhere I saw screenshots of these icons, but I forgot the source..

hmm anyhas these screenshots? i want to change my icons (siemens default icons are so ugly) - maybe t-mobile or vodafone icons are better?

BlueEye

No, trust me! The T-Mobile and Vodafone icons suck - I like Siemens S65 icons.

Nope, I don't have S65 icons (yet). But let's get back to topic... ;)

Hi!

The od02 program says after 'done':

"Access violation at address 0042e78a in_module 'OD_02.exe'. Write of address xxxxxxxx."

'xxx' is always other address.

I have hungarian vodafone firmware 12. Why not working? I tried it on winxp, winme with original siemens rs-232 data cable.

Does anybody know if OD works also in Windows XP with Service Pack 2 installed?

I was planning to install the SP2 today.

I installed SP2 two weeks ago and OD is working perfectly fine.

it's working. Just turn off and on your phone, then run od-tool. it will write the error (other address) , but it's ok.

I followed oakdesign's instructions to debrand my CX65's (FW12) right soft key and it worked perfectly.
The key was formerly branded to "i9" (a customized Internet browser set up by Portuguese operator "TMN") and could not be assigned to anything else.
After having deleted everything between &lt;bml> and &lt;/bml>, the key was free to configure as expected, and so I did.
But then I noticed that the access to the mentioned browser was lost (it said something like 'invalid or missing browser').
So, I put back again the original MagicLink.xml file, and guess what? The browser was again operational, AND the right soft key was still freely assignable! :D
I wonder if this works also for other "hard-assigned" configurations like Vodafone's?

Thanks, oakdesign!

OK... so far... so good...!

But can we now upgrade with non-brand firmware?

If not, is there a sollution available? :D

As far as I know, FW16 is now official. I myself upgraded to this version while it was still 'unofficial', and all went OK.

So. I wrote cx65 fubu into cxv65. It asked overwrite bootcore and EEFULL. Of course i skipped the bootcore, but what about EEFULL? Can i overwrite it? Anyway I can't get ID with getcode software, so i can't make map. Any idea?

Please I need your help!

I have problem with extracting OD Tools from rar. :roll: I try almost everything to open this archive, but without success. I used WinRAR, Win commander and nothing. I also try to rename, and of course it didn't work. Does someone have this program in zip, if does please put link on this topic.

Thanks in advance.
