The Nokia E71x from ATT came loaded with a bunch of useless software, it costs money and it is totally useless, but the most annoying thing is that it can’t be removed easily! I am sure you tried to mve the folders around and delete some stuff, but you obviously could not. Fortunately, here is a tutorial that explains you very carefully how to removed all this software from ATT, read it carefully and don’t miss any step, at the end, you will have a clean Nokia E71x, more or less like the E71 itself, so here goes to tutorial:
OK, so the first thing you do is install x-plore, from herehttp://www.lonelycatgames.com/?app=xplore
Than after you install x-plore, run it and go to menu->tools->configuration and select the check box next to everything that says “Show”, including system applications found towards the bottom of the list.
Than just go Back and you should see Z: disk. Open it go to system->data->midp2->preinstall and there you will find most of the items in the Games & Apps folder. Here is a complete list of the ones you will find and what application they apply to:
- an529-piranha-js179.jar (AT&T Navigator)
- app-prod-where-E71.jar (Where)
- BrainChallengeVol2DEMONokiaE71EN… (Brain Challenge)
- DEMOCollapseUnitedStatesNOKIAE71… (Collapse)
- mall.jar (MEdia Mall 2.0)
- MobileBanking.jar (Mobile Banking)
- MobiTVNokiaE71ATTTrialen… (MobiTV)
- MobiVJNokiaE71ATTTrialen… (MobiVJ)
- Monopoly.jar (Monopoly)
- MusicID4.0.2Nokiaxxx (MusicID/Shazam)
- mycast5demoacte71.jar (My-Cast Weather)
- remixNokiaE71x.jar (ReMix)
- wikimobile.jar (WikiMobile)
- wpt2attnoke71… (WPT Hold Em 2)
- wvim5en-USes… (Instant Messenger)
- XM-RadioNokiaE71ATTTrial… (XM Radio)
- ypcpiranha_submit.jar (Yellow Pages)
So scroll up and down to select the app you want to uninstall. (Do this to the icons that look like ZIP folders and not all application names.)
Press the left soft key to go to menu->file->open by system and now it will ask to install it over the same one already installed but now install it to your memory card.
After you installed all of them to your memory card, just pop the memory card to your pc or other phone and format it.
Vola! they are gone. However I still haven’t figured out how to remove the SHOP icons. Still searching.
You can remove a lot of apps, but be carefull to not remove some apps that you might need in the future, maybe MobiTV is usefful for some people as well as yellow pages. So, were you able to delete all the crapware ATT put in your phone?

Works without a problem. Great job!
Now if you can only find a way to get rid of the “SHOP” icons, I’d be extremely happy.
Worked great!!!!!!!!!!!!!
good way to format memory card:
go to
File mgr > Memory card > Options > Memory card options > Format
done!!!!!!
i downloaded explorer 4 smartphone nokia E71x could not open .zip could not find .sis download.I wishj i went w/blackberyu hate small key board guess im getin dish Tv!!!!
I downloaded this file to my e71x but when i tried to open it i got a message “unable to open file.type not supported”. How did you get this to work??
Ray,
You have to install it from PC Suite otherwise it wont work. I had the same problem, used PC Suite and viola it worked GREAT. Now can some one help with the SHOP ikons/programs.
Downloaded xplore and wasn’t able to open(extract) file. File corrupt, can someone help?
So I managed to download xplore but now i can’t install it. I already switched certificate ver. to “all” and it still wont install it. Can someone help?
I tried to install xplore and the phone said it was not allowed even after I had ensured all software could be installed in the app manager. Any suggestions?
also it should be stated that the comes zipped and i had to find a symbian winzip
@ Coffinsa
Check your symbian OS version and install the corresponding Xplore version. That zip file has three versions of Xplore applications, Then I hope you can install and remove the crap
I’ve install “SkyeText” free trial since last two days, but now it seem like want me to purchase it. Nowadays all of my incoming messages will automatically jump out to its purchasing page within 2 second after i open all of my incoming messages.
Anyone can help me to uninstall it. Many many thanks.
Does anyone have exact steps on how to install x-plore? I cannot for the life of me figure it out.
To fix the problem of the phone (e71x) not letting you install X-plore - Go to the App Mgr. You will see the “Download apps, Installation files and Installed files. Use the Select soft key and go to “Settings”. Make sure you change the Online certificate check to “off” temporarily while you install X-plore.
