1. A method for provisioning a mobile device comprising:
- wirelessly receiving, by an application stored in a non-transitory memory of a mobile device and executable by a processor of the mobile device, a provisioning payload comprising an internal uniform resource identifier (URI) string, wherein the mobile device comprises at least some customization content pre-loaded to a system memory partition of the mobile device;
accessing, by the application, at least a portion of the pre-loaded customization content from the system memory partition of the mobile device based on the internal URI string, wherein the at least the portion of the pre-loaded customization content referenced by the internal URI string comprises branding content associated with a wireless service brand, and wherein the branding content comprises one or more of a graphic, an image, an audio file, a splash screen, an opening screen, a background, or ring tone for the wireless services brand;
providing, via an application programming interface (API) call of an API provided by an operating system of the mobile device, a carrier memory partition key or a carrier memory partition password to the operating system of the mobile device to permit writing to the carrier memory partition;
in response to the operating system being provided the carrier memory partition key or the carrier memory partition password from the API call, writing, via execution of instructions that invoke the API, at least the portion of the pre-loaded customization content referenced by the internal URI string to the carrier memory partition of the mobile device; and
completing, by the application, a customization process for the mobile device using the at least the portion of the pre-loaded customization content written to the carrier memory partition, wherein the customization process brands the mobile device with the branding content associated with the wireless service brand.

Abstract
Embodiments of the disclosure are directed to methods and systems for provisioning and/or customizing a mobile device. After a mobile device is purchased by a user, custom settings and information (or customization content) may be delivered to or accessed on the mobile device. In some embodiments, the customization content may be pre-loaded onto the device and access via a uniform resource identifier (or URI) string. In other embodiments, the customization content may be accessed from a remotely hosted location via a uniform resource locator (or URL) string. Additionally, customization content may be accessed via a combination of the above methods.
