mda vario removing logo and text on the case??

[dvl]

anyone tried to remove the t-mobile and T logo from the mda vario cover? (see pic)

I tried to remove the --MDA .T..Mobile.-- with a suger cube but that didn't work, seems they have made their paint better on these newer phones :twisted:

Also i want to remove the T on the the right hand top..

Would be great if someone can post their info if they done it :twisted:

Nice To-day Screen what you got running there !!!
BTW i tried the sugar cube too !!!

[monkeyphonix]

I used perspex polish and along with a pencil eraser it removed all the logos without marking. But I don't know much about the polish, its in a plain bottle. :roll:

Mine Qtek sign went off by itself within first week...

Scrub harder... :)

They are better painted, but if you scrub hard eneough, they'll come off... I had a Orange logo, but not for long... :)

But i guess the t-zones logo on the internet button wo'nt work...

[jonpaterson]

a lot of my Imate logo rubbed off the first week - you can use a stanley knife blade (not in the knife - just the blade) and that got the rest off without a scratch to the facia.

It does work with a suger cube, I can confirm.
I just tried it yesterday on my T Mobile MDA Vario (NL).
It takes a lot of time and patience but it can be done without scratches or marks with a sugar cube.

Took me 1 hour for only the right t-mobile logo, but its gone :)

Nice today screen! What's that app you have running on the top? The icons which show the batt status and other stuff beside the start button?

[jfran]

Jepp, sugarcubes work, see attached image taken from my O2 XDA Mini S after I scrubed this ugly branding away. NO scratches on the surface but it took about 10 minutes and two cubes. You need to scrub with more force than when unbranding a magician.

[Panja]

I just succeeded in removing all 4 logo's on my (Dutch) MDA Vario.
(also I removed the mail logo, left upperside)
I know have a complete logo free HTC Wizard device!!

All done by the sugar cube.
It works great, but you have to do some pressure on the scrubbing :)

@Panja

Could you please upload an image of the totally unbranded Wizard? I am thinking of removing the Mail and IE icons as well but I would like to know first how it would look like.

TIA

[Panja]

Not the best picture but I'm not a good photographer...

I hope it is good enough for you :)

Thanks Mate!

This doesn't scratch the aluminium ? What's the technique, I have a friends to do and can't find my perspex polish I used on mine.

[Nikko2]

Nope just did it now. I did not Scratch the case took about 10 mins to do all 4 areas of text.

Just be careful, you get a feeling for when you are taking the paint off as it feels smooth.

Ooh, that was easy! I just did it, too, with a coin. The metal has a 'grain' to it, where it's brushed vertically. I suggest you scrape in line with that, rather that across it.

[boyo69]

yep, 1p piece, 5 mins, no scratches..........nice one!

[dvl]

thanxs worked like a charm :twisted:

for the peeps who keep messaging me and asking what i used as today screen:

'wisbar advanced'
'vista qvga theme'
'pocket breeze' as plugin

[cizake]

[SBouri]

[JGUI]

could anyone explain how to use suger cube to remove logos?

[dimushor]

guys, what is a sugar cube? what do you usualy do with it? I think this is not ordinary sugar that u use in tea: :shock:

[Johannus]

lol, it is in fact sugar, but after using it for de-branding your phone, you might want to consider trowing it away rather then putting it in your tea ;)

[dimushor]

really? or jesus :shock: :shock: :shock: i would have never thought that u can use sugar for that. LOOL

[SBouri]

use a 2p coin, works with no marks left, took me less than 5minutes.

[JGUI]

men,

but please explain how do you use coin or cube> how to remove logo and do not draw any marks or scratch in laquire surface beside logo?

[dimushor]

men,

but please explain how do you use coin or cube> how to remove logo and do not draw any marks or scratch in laquire surface beside logo?

yes, indeed. i don't see how a sugar cube would not scratch the surface. it has sharp edges :roll:

[SBouri]

i used a 2p. I went with the grain, not accross...got rid of tmobile logo, mda logo and the t zone logo with no marks....3minutes max :wink:

[dimushor]

what if we don't have a 2p coin?

[SBouri]

lol, use a 1p coin....

[dimushor]

what if we don't have pennies at all :P
it is just we are not in Uk, if you haven't notice yet

[SBouri]

:x lol :lol:

i read somewhere if you get a pencil rubber it will work

[dimushor]

i think that i am big enough and i will manage:-)

[dimushor]

you wouldn't beleive that. I cannot find sugarcubes in any storfe in my city. I've looked in about 10 stores, nothing :?:

[dimushor]
