Phone: Lumia 635

Carrier: AT&T

This weekend, I unlocked my phone, de-branded it, and updated it first to Denim and then Update 2, aka GDR2.

I am SO glad I did it!

EDIT: I recommend it to anyone comfortable flashing the ROM and doing registry edits. I can't believe how much faster the phone responds to everything. It's noticeably faster (insert "seems faster" reference here) for loading apps, restarting, resuming, everything I've tried so far. Coming back up from a soft reset is way faster than before. This update needs to be available to everyone, in my opinion. It appears to me that my battery life has also improved by a very noticeable margin. Happy days.

How many more of you out there has Update 2??

Wow... is that a cricket in here? I thought I heard a cricket.

 

[djeire84]

I have an 830 I'd love to do it too. I've unlocked and flashed and messed with roms and rooting with androids but never on a Windows phone. Would happen to have a link or something that will point me in the right direction? I can't seem to find much.

Wish there was a way to remove that red Verizon splash.
It's already possible to change the blue wp boot logo.

Why flash for US image? You can just set the region. Not sure what you're wanting to do, to be honest.

I removed the branding, period, so no more AT&T splash. Instead, it shows the blue WP Boot logo twice, instead of AT&T and WP Logo.

The only way to remove the Verizon splash that I know of is to change the ROM to non-branded. There are instructions to remove branding for AT&T Lumia 635, and it also works for the 820, but it doesn't work for all Lumias.

You may be able to start at the following location and get help figuring out the rest from there:
