On an iPhone 5 with the latest iOS 6.0.2. A couple searches show that its been possible in the past, so wondering if there's any way to do it now.

That's pretty interesting. I wonder what will happen when your carrier releases an update though.

Imagine you had 13.2. You created a custom logo in 13.3 and then your carrier releases the actual 13.3. I guess you won't even notice there's an update available. :/
 
works great. thanx for the link.

there's a blank icon as an option...and you can make your own icons.
brilliant, really; not just the effect, but the fact that people take the time to figure these things out, then create apps that do the work for us.

using NO icon rocks. take THAT, at&t! 😀

Exactly what I want to do! Thanks! Can't wait to try this later.
 
Thanks for this thread, I found some O2 carrier files on another thread here and used them with CarrierEditor to change my O2-UK to the actual logo.

Looks smart, and I'm on 6.0.1.

i too would like to know what happens in this instance.
 
hm doesnt work for me.

i followed the instructions from the video but the carrier is still 3 AT.

first it was 13.0 now its 13:1 and still after restart the old

maybe 6.0.1 is the problem?

I'm on 6.0.2 it worked fine. try rebooting phone. that worked for me.
 
i'm still concerned to know what happens when a new "real" carrier update attempts to be applied to the phone.

as the phone thinks it already has v13.1 (for example), and a new "real" one becomes available that is v13.1, what happens?

also, what other info is stored in the carrier file other than the carrier logo?
does replacing the file using this app have any other hidden issues?
 
No success here

I want to get rid of the "Willkommen" text, maybe it's not a logo but TEXT, had no success in using a new created ipcc with carriereditor... though the carrier version number changed from 13.0 to 13.1
