None of the methods to disable Copilot work, can't even hide it

I suggest you post your question in the tutorial thread to find out if Brink or the other tutorial participants can help you Enable or Disable Copilot - TenForumsTutorials Best of luck, Denis

 

Uninstalling CoPilot - How?

Thanks, fiat_lux!

I as much as you thought that if the application was not activated therefore it's not installed and deleted the folder. But i was wrong.

Two things remained:

a) the shortcut in the programs list - i thought it was a .lnk file and did a search but there wasn't such file in any directory.

b) a big 8mb. file in windows directory which is untouchable("delete"option is not active) - which actually was the only file with "copilot" name in the directories at all.

Then i did a hard reset hoping those two would disappear, but when the handset started i sadly found out that nothing had changed. Even more: the folder i previously deleted was there again.

So my wild guess is that "copilot" is somehow locked to the firmware and it can't be removed. And that big 8mb. file i mentioned above is actually the installable CoPilot.

I'm afraid i'll need more "hard" approach to get rid of these annoying program. ROM editor or something?

Thanks again for the reply.
