Nope. Cannot be done. You can either try to put in a theme that cleverly disguises the logo.

that pic looks fake and im sure its not someones actual phone.i see pics like that all the time!whats wrong with the operator logo? i like it sort of.

Posted by gbrooks3
Yes possible to change, i will have a look at this, Operator strings are located in Main firmware, these can be edited then flashed back to the phone. But i hope to make a simpler method without full reflash.

You go boy @ gbrooks!

Once you have found that method, let us know!!

Posted by BerK
OMG so it`s possible !!!
Let us know how !

Hey i don`t mind reflashing the damn thing

Wat you see in that pic is most prob a screenshot from themes editor...it displays sony ericsson instead of operator.

Yep that looks like it because it is a screenshot which looks like it was taken from a themes creator (theme creator 3g can do this for previews only)

Posted by gbrooks3
That does not change the fact that its possible.

Posted by Lynx69
Yeah true, i remember seeing a thread linking to a tutorial on cellular-support.com where the person edited the firmware resulting in being able to change the logo.

But as its been said before, messing with the firmware could be very risky

Posted by whizkidd
You can remove operator logos in NoKIA'S by some come can't you? No such code for SE?

Posted by gbrooks3
Why is messing with firmware risky? 100% impossible to kill SEMC phone with software, only way is by hammer, brick etc

Posted by clank
Personally i like the operator logo, infact i also have area info turned on so thats on more line of text under operator logo...doesnt seem to bother me, much better than just wallpaper imho.

Changing the operator logo is easy! all you do is this...

Go to: www.Free-ringtones-free-logos.com

then from there go to the page where you make ur own logos... type "Sony Ericsson" then follow instructions on how to send it to your phone, simple!

And best of all its all free!

Does it work with new phones too? Like the SE Z1010?

Posted by *Jojo*
I need to know this - fully ! As I want to remove my local network's (logo) on my T68i mates . . .

Posted by Qoastro
I found out that it only works with Nokias in the UK.
Or can I just type in the country's number before the phonenumber? (0046 for Sweden)

Posted by kk.226
yeah i think it only works in the UK, i've only tried it with a nokia but it should work fine with other fones too.

Does anyone know how to get rid of the operator logo on all nokia phones for free?

I've got 4 nokia phones on different networks and want to get rid of the operator logo's

Posted by kk.226
Go to: http://www.free-ringtones-free-logos.com/

select logo at the top left, create a new one. Don't actually add anything or do anything to it, just send it blank (follow on screen prompts). And accept it once you recieve it on your fone, and the operator logo shall disappear.

You can get the logo back by "turning logo off" in your settings. So you turn the blank logo off to show the regular one again.

A theme creator allows you to do this. This site has 609 themes for P900/910

Posted by aberudder
have a look at:
http://www.mobile.gemtech.net.au/750/hacking.html

im pretty sure somewhere in there it teaches you how to get rid of the logo with FARmanager

Posted by niranjan007
can't it be done via the FAR manager? On s60 nokias, the operator logo is stored in c:\\system\\apps\\phone\\oplogo with the operator code as the name and bmp as extension. Eg-for airtel, bangalore, its "404_45_0.bmp"
if the file is deleted, the operator name will be shown
