Its not possible to remove branding, BUT you can make a hard reset of the device. After you have adjusted the stylus, you must immediately soft reset the device. The branding .cab files wont be installed.
Browse around the forums, there are a lot of postings about that.
may sound stupid but get a sugar cube and rub over the branding on the case-removed my vodafone decals well!

i used the soft reset after setting up the pointer worked a treat. alsoto remove the t-mobile paint i used my fingernail and white spirit worked nice no scars. only problem is i unlocked it fine. But wont operate on the o2 network...any ideas????
if you want to remove the t-mobile branding completely do the bigstorage hack or search the forums for how to change splash screens, you may need to unlock your mda with the unlock tool on the front page of this site to get it working on o2
hope thats some help
edit: sorry i misread you have already tried unlocking, maybe try a friends o2 sim in case yours is faulty, i use my o2 sim in a mda compact so it can work, just not sure why yours doesn't sorry
HELP!!!!!

Works fine, did it this week without a problem (Austrian T-Mobile MDA Compact 2), using my ONE sim now
mine worked first time just read the instructiosn twice and then try it and wait, it goes slowly at one point.
try it without the sim card in.
Did mine this morning, worked great had to follow the instructions carefully though,
Hi, is it possible to get the MDA Compact on Pay As You Go in the UK? and how much does it cost?
I say this because it would be a lot cheapr to buy it on PAYG instead of sim-free
Thanks in advance
just one fact: you can unlock your Compact with a xda-dev tool.
Hi folks,
A friend of mine is buying my old T-Mobile MDA Compact off me, he's on O2 PAYG and I'm looking to convert the phone to be as much like the O2 XDA equivelant as posible to avoid network issues.
Firstly, What is the O2 XDA equivelant of the MDA Compact officially known as? I've heard it's the XDA mini, but not sure.
1. Can I install/use an O2 XDA mini ROM (or updated one) to setup the phone for use on O2? I'm assuming the ROM is the only software differance between an XDA mini and MDA Compact.
2. Will this also change the radio stack, allowing the phone to accept an O2 sim card or will i need to apply a seperate unclock tool?
Where can I find O2 XDA mini ROMs? and if needed an unlock tool?
I'm hoping its as simple as just installing an O2 ROM but I'm preparing myself for the worst.
Any help and advice gratly appreciated,
Mike
Mike,
I actually did this about 6 months ago before I left the UK.
My MDA Compact was working fine on an O2 PAYG SIM card with the original T-mobile ROM on the device (I tried it also with the upgrades that were available on the website, though I don't think there are any left online now). All I did was unlock the device to allow it to accept the O2 SIM card.
I got a little bored of looking at the T-mobile bits of the ROM after a while, so I changed the ROM to the generic HTC version. This also worked fine, as it is designed to be universally compatable anyways.
I don't have the file anymore, but the unlock program I used I got off the XDA Developers drive, and I think that it was called xdadev.unlock, though I am not sure.
Hope this helps.
Be sure you are confident in what you are doing before you attempt any of the above, becqause there may be compications in any of the suggestions that I have made.
