dont think you can my friend......looks like branded phone from what you explained....have you tried putting in google how to disable branded logos and see what comes up? sounds like you need to get into the system and remove their boot from it

exactly, its branded. Ive found how to do this but its too complicated for me :/

[Q] Vodafone Logo

Help please!
I have just received a refurbished HTC HD2 back from Vodafone after complaining about loss of signal. Now I have noticed that replacement phone has Vodafone logo on start up which original one didn't. Is there anyway to get rid of this.
Have spoken to Vodafone who would not remove it and quite happily told me that there is a problem with the network in my area and not the phone now. I am moving to a different network, this phone is not locked but the Vodafone start up logo has to go.
Thanks in advance.
I apologise if this resoultion is on another thread but I have spent the last few hours trying to find something but to no avail.
yes just search for a boot screen app on xda and install what you want.
if it pops up immidiately after you start the phone, you need to flash an official unbranded HTC ROM (needs HSPL or SSPL).
If you mean the bootup screen, then do what malkrae said.
Hi Guys
The vodafone logo pops up after the main HTC logo when the phone is switched on, please advise which is the best way to rid my phone of this

[Q] unlocking samsung galaxy s2

hi, ive rooted my samsung galaxy s2 to be able to unlock it, tried the galaxy s2 unlock but tried it twice and it didnt work, then some one said they tried that and it didnt work but they gave holrez a go and it worked so tried that but when i press unlock sim the screen goes black then resets.
Done abit of reading on the net has the phone froze and needs unfreezing? tried the samsung galaxy unfreeze but didnt find any codes
Does any one know whats wrong and how do i fix it?
What's holrez? Is the phone actually still working? It's unclear from your post. Also, galaxy unfreeze appears to be for the samsung galaxy. What's your phone's exact model number?
The phone works fine just when I go to use holrez unlock (from the app store) the screen goes black then the phone reboots after a minute or so
Where do I find the exact model number?
Setting->about phone
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
it is GT-I9100

Mobile Network State : Disconnected. Cannot make calls.

Greetings
Today I upgraded my ATT Galaxy S2 to the ICS rom that appeared recently with Odin3 1.85.
Everything went pretty smoothly until I realized whenever I tried to make a call nothing would happen, the confusing thing is my internet kept working on Edge (since I'm T-mo on an unlocked phone). I tried to check via de *#simlock# command if it was unlocked and indeed it seems to be.
Furthermore I tried to send a text message to myself and it seems to have gone through added to the fact that the internet is there, the only problem is the calls.
I checked the IMEI and it seems to be fine, I did a factory reset and nothing happened.
During my exploration of the phone I found that it said, as the title implies, Mobile Network State: Disconnected which freaked me out.
I also tried resetting the mobile networks to default but nothing is working I'm kind of desperate (I usually avoid posting as opposed as researching) and have been searching online for near 2 hours I would appreciate any help.
Thanks
SO many things wrong.

ATT Galaxy S2 is the SGH-I777. You are in the GT-I9100 forums. If you really do have an I777, and flashed an I9100 firmware to your I777, then this is likely the source of your problems. The I777 and I9100 have SIMILAR hardware to where a flash wouldn't kill your phone, but things wouldn't work right. Sounds like what you are describing.

You say you have an ATT Galaxy S2, but here you say you're on T-Mobile. Are you in the US? If you're on the US, how did you get an ATT Galaxy S2 on T-Mobile? ATT phones are usually SIM locked. Also, T-Mobile has their own Galaxy S2 model, which is the SGH-T989. Totally different hardware. If you DO have an ATT model, and are on T-Mobile, then you are probably getting abysmal mobile data speeds. The ATT model will only get Edge speeds on T-Mobile's network, and vice versa, the T-Mobile model will only get Edge speeds on ATT's network.
EDIT: Oh, I re-read that. I see you recognize you will only get Edge on T-Mobile's network when using this device. But that doesn't answer my question. If you have an ATT model (SGH-I777) did you SIM-unlock it?

Again, if you actually have an ATT model (SGH-I777) and you flashed an I9100 firmware, you probably got modem files not meant for your phone.

Bottom line, check your phone model. Don't trust the boot screen or the About Phone details, as a firmware flash will change those. Look on the label under your battery. I'm guessing you have an SGH-I777, and you flashed a GT-I9100 firmware.
ATT's Galaxy S2 (SGH-I777) has its own forum.
T-Mobile's (SGH-T989) has its own forum too.
EDIT: Please let this be a lesson. Always be sure you are flashing a firmware meant for your specific model of phone.

[Q] Help: Samasung Galaxy Rugby Pro SGH I547

Hi!
My galaxy rugby pro fell while I was running (should've run with an arm band... I know). It's screen got a nasty shatter and it stopped displaying. The phone works. I can turn it on... It makes souns for ringtones and other system sounds but the screen is black. I got a new phone because I wanted one anyway but now I want the data on my inner SD. So is there a way via PC or even by taking the phone apart to get the data?
Any help will be greatly appreciated,
Phone is completely stock and unrooted AT&T version (sim unlocked)
