debrand your CX65/M65

oakdesign

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

1. OD-Tool http://download.siemens-club.ru/files/x65/od.rar
2. s25@once or MPM it tested both
3. original contents of the "Config" folder http://www.mushyonline.de/Config_x65_ohne_Branding.zip
4. a xml editor (EDITING THE XML FILES WITHA TEXT EDITOR WON'T WORK)
5. of course a cx/m65 phone

now how to do

1. connect your phone (turned on) to the PC via cable or IrDa
2. start od.exe select your Com port, click "do it" button wait for message "done" and click "ok"
3. start s25@once or MPM and you'll find two additional folders "Config" and "Cache"
4. 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)

1. go to the folder \Config\Default\MagicLink
2. copy MagicLinks.xml to your PC or take the one you downloaded with the unbranded folder content
3. edit MagicLink.xml with xml editor
   delete everything between <bml></bml>
   <?xml version="1.0"?>
   <!-- DOCTYPE bml SYSTEM "bml.dtd" -->
   <bml>
   </bml>
4. copy MagicLinks.xml back to \Config\Default\MagicLink
5. turn your phone off and on again
6. 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

1. to the od.exe precedure again
2. replace everything in the \Config\japp\Flexmenu folder with the content of your downloaded \Config\japp\Flexmenu
3. 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

Here's a screenshot of the original Siemens icons:

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.

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..

majes

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

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

majes
