    My T-Mobile phone that’s been unlocked and moved over to Google Fi has the T-Mobile image whenever you start up the phone. I’ll only buy phones directly from the manufacturer now.

      You’d have to flash new firmware for that to change. In the old days each phone was carrier specific and had to have the exact right firmware but now they’re fairly generic and are cross compatible (do your own research). You could check XDA Developers for the process.

    • Thats basically just an image file you can replace. If the phone is rooted, there are tools to switch the image to whatever you want.

      And if it’s not rooted, you said it was unlocked; Feel free to root it.
