[Q] sony xperia ion

simba1960 · Apr 15, 2014

I recently unlocked my sony xperia ion which was on rogers network. Now using it with another carrier. Every time i start up the phone the rogers logo shows up and also there are a whole bunch of rogers applications which i cannot delete but can only disable for now.
my question is can I remove all the rogers software and logo from this phone?

Sony Xperia Ion LT28i, Android Version 4.1.2 ; Build Number: 6.2.B.0.211 Country Canada

Thanking you in advance,

Ash

Your xperia ion is branded ,
You can uninstall these rogers apps using apps like android tuner (root access needed)

Or you can completly debrand the device by flashing a stock FTF
Here are some instructions
(warning this method will wipe your user data (not whats stored on device music pics nd stuff will stay, apps wont)
(you can disable this)

Download Flashtool
Download Xperia ION flashmode and fastboot drivers

Download global generic 6.2.B.0.11 FTF

Click the lightning like icon
Find the ftf you downloaded and
Folow flashtool instruction
(if it says hold menu button it means Volume down when it asks you to hold it and plug in)

Simply flash a stock FTF, don't bother with removing all these apps as they are bound to leave some unwanted data behind.

So quick note - i didnt knotice "rogers" correctly ,what i do mean about that now is apps that dont arent of use to you or apps that are killling your batter, aka facebook , youtube, those can be reinstalled as a user app later

in android tuner you can go to apps and select system at the bottom and just remove any System app that isnt needed, anything with a complicated name is obvously core system , e.g. SystemUI

stuff like FB proxy can be remoeved because its a part of timescape and id doubt you would use that, well it seems no one does
