I have installed a new Phone Skin on mw HTC 3300 ( Zphone v1.6 ) but the pad used for inserting the Sim Card Pin security code is still GREEN !!!!!
How can i fix it ( i would like black buttons !! ) ?
I think that is quite dificult as in windows directory the files are blue so it should be blue, it looks like it´s somewhere in the rom.
I couldn´t find with resco explorer.. :-(
Where to start
Take a look at the file \Windows\phcanOverbmp.dll with a resource editor like Resource Hacker or PE Explorer. You should find the green bitmaps for the buttons in normal and pressed state for each portrait and landscape mode.
(If you cannot find them in that file check where this registry entry points to:
HKLM\Security\ResOver\Bitmaps\BaseDll = phcanoverbmp.dll)
While you can replace the bitmaps with a resource editor there is one problem: in WM5 this file needs to be digitally signed. When you restart the device (or the phone application cprog.exe) with the modified and unsigned file, the phone will most likely show the default blue windows mobile buttons, because it refuses to load unsigned files.
Look at the file properties when you have it on your desktop PC. It has a digital signature which will become invalid after you change the bitmaps. So you need
(1) to sign the file with a certificate that you own (or was created by yourself) AND
(2) you need to put that certificate onto your device.
I don't know how much experience you have with doing that but a good start could be to search for SdkCerts.cab (this file is part of the WM5 SDK) and how others managed to sign their files using these certificates.
Good luck!

i tryed to change the icons in shellres.dll with ResHacker, but when i put this modified file in the rom, my SPV c600 cannot recognize the MiniSD card...Have anybody tryed to modify this file？And using which tool？
First you must never touch the shellres.dll it self. To change resources create a shellres.dll.xxxx.mui (xxxx hex number of your language).
Also this is a system file so it has to be signed. When you edited it you screwed up the signature so now the system thinks its a corrupt file.
You need to first remove original signature, then edit resources, then sign it again with a trusted certificate.
Frankly I am a bit surprised the Mini SD is the only thing not working on your device right now.
Explain more PLZ

Hi there,
Could you plz explain more how to remove original signature? Also how to sign it agian with a trusted certificat?
I will remain to hear from you.
With my deep thanx
You should search this forum.
I don't remember exactly where, but there was a sort of manual on how to do it around here somewhere.
The tool to sign files is available with WM 5 and WM 6 SDK you can download from MS site. The SDK also contains test certificates, and the tools to place them on the device (provision the device) so you can use them to sing your files.
MS does not have a tool to remove signatures, only an API, but I think someone posted a tool like that here.
Sorry I can't give you more detail, I have not worked with these thing a long time.
The tool is called CeleSign. You can remove old signature and sign modified file with it.
Deep thanx for your wonderfull inforamtion about that subject. After I searched so found this:

But unfortunetly is in Chiness.
the software can be get it from here also:

Hi boys
I have a question for you..
Can I load the T-Mobile Dash Rom on my HTC S620Pro unlocked?
I love the T-Mobile Dash Home screen theme and i f it's possible I want run it on my HTC S620 Excabilur
Thank you in advance for the answer
Yep but you might need to CID unlock (obtain SuperCID) which costs £20 ($39). If you just want the home screen just ask someone for it and copy it on. I would post it but I currently have the WM6 Dash ROM on my S620 and it probably doesn't have the home screen you mention.
I was wondering if anyone could help me.I have a HTCs620 and I am trying to flash it with the T-Mobile WM6 Rom.I have had the unit CID unlocked with IMEI Check and still I get the invalid model ID (something like that)I read something about upgrading the bootloader but where do I find this file for the HTC Excalibur......Any other suggestions since I have tried evereything else............
hope this helps

There are different versions of Excalibur EXCA2xxx and ECXA1xxx
You could write an email to imeicheck and they will give you this solution regarding the invalid vendor id:
Tools you need:
===============
- HexWorkshop from http://www.bpsoft.com/downloads/-
the ROM of your choice
- Winzip or Winrar
- a valid UNL file for YOUR phone
Preparation:
============
a) install HexWorkshop and Winzip or Winrar on your pc
b) in explorer on pc, RIGHT click on the ROM of your choice and use: "Extract files to folder ..." from conext menu Now it will unpack all the files
c) in the new folder you will have ONE file like "HRUU_signed.NBH" (*.NBH) RIGHT click on the .NBH file and use: "Hex Edit with Hex Workshop" from context menu
d) You'll see on the 5th row EXCA20000 ==> !!! make it EXCA***** (5 stars) and save the file
e) Now RIGHT click on ROMUpdateUtility.exe and use: "Hex Edit with Hex Workshop" from conext menu
Search for word "BsaD5SeoA" (without quotes, case sensitive)
You'll find it around address 0x3FC6C ==> !!! replace "BsaD5SeoA" with "IMEICHECK" (without quotes) and save the file
ROM-Update:
===========
1) take SIM card and SD card OUT of the phone
2) Connect the phone running windows ce to the pc (normal way).
3) Completely Unlock your phone using our unlocker <== REALLY IMPORTANT
4) After phone is unlocked run unlocker (again) BUT when the unlocker ask for UNL file, remove the USB cable from the phone THEN press "Cancel" on the unlocker select file window (unlocker will close on PC). NOTE: The screen on the device will not show something usefull when in this mode. Most probably it is complete WHITE. !!THIS IS NORMAL!! Don't touch phone, let it like it is!
5) After you closed the unlocker, attach usb cable again (phone has still white screen)
6) start (the modified) ROMUpdateUtility.exe
7) when update finished and device started you will get a message: "Data Crashed, contact service provider" (!NO PANIC!) ==> Simply fix this problem by running the unlocker again and this time select the key file normal way (full unlock process again). In case you have problems please indicate the step letter/number which is not clear/not working for you. If you REALLY do it STEP by STEP exact like described you will have no problem.

Hello,
Thanks for the great guide.When I get to the part to look for the bsa file in the hex editor program I cant seem to find it.Also, when I save the hex editied files do I save them to the folder were I extracted the Rom.I tried to run the utility without editing the bsa file (because I could not find it) and when I tried running it after pulling the usb cord it gave me the error message Invalid Update Tool.Do you know of anyone who can edit the T-Mobile WM6 Rom for me even if I have to pay for it.....
One last question...the rom I am supposed to edit with hex editor is it the new Rom (t-Mobile WM6) or the bootloader upgrade Rom..
Thanks in advance!!

I have a vga device running WM6 and wanted to know how to change the splash screen, mabey a nice anime background Any suggestions welcome.
well, on my Smartphone (voq, WM2003se) it worked by editing the registry. all i used to do is finding the relevant image, which is usedfor bootup. (for met it was voq_operator_splash.bmp) i couldn't rename or replace it with some other file due to it's in the rom and so undeleteable or changeable.
but the trick is : search the registry for that filename and change the relevant key to something like XYZ (your filename)_2.bmp and place your file (using the same dimensions and filename/+_02.bmp in the same dir as the original. on next bootup (maybe you have to reset first) the new logo will be shown.
Where is it located? Every search I've found says it's in \windows directory, but it isn't there. Has it been changed with the latest T-mobile software?
I'm running WM6 (latest from T-mobile)
I wanted to move the Spanish ñ to the top of the list so it requires fewer keypresses to enter.
Any advice would be hugely appreciated.
perhaps, I'm asking the wrong question...
Is there a way to change/add/reorder the "special symbols" available in the symbols menu (when you press the sym/camera key in text mode)?
As of now I've been unable to locate the file that contains those characters. Several google's on the subject have directed me to look for a file named "sym.txt" in the windows directory however it appears to not exist in the T-mobile wm6 ROM. I assume the file (perhaps renamed or in a different file format or embedded in another font file) must exist somewhere on the device however, I've searched all over every directory and dragged everything that looked remotely like it could be it to the desktop to view with notepad.
No dice. It's driving me nuts. I'm hoping someone in here knows just what file the symbol key draws it's data from.
Please help
Well, I gave up
But as necessity is the mother of invention I figured out a much better and easier solution (for me anyway).
I just edited the "eT9.Excalibur.0409.kmap.txt" file so that instead of an "&" when I hold down the "n" key (or alt-n) I get an "ñ".
{N N ñ ñ 0x18} instead of {N N & & 0x18}
The cool thing is it gives a capital "Ñ" in cap-lock mode too if I access the alt text
I like it. Now that I know how easy it is to personalize the keys I might just make another adjustment or 2
By the way
Could that tiny modification cause problems I'm unaware of? Hope not.
Hi there,
I have a new Q9h (my 3rd). It arrived yesterday with WM6.1. As I have in the past, I did a regiedit to remove file size limits for ring tones and alarms; then I used enableRAPI to organize my start menu.
Today, I connected my phone to my computer and figured I'd try Motorola Software Update. It found and update and didn't give me an option to back out. It seems to have applied a security patch making external registry edits through activeSync impossible and doesnt allow enableRAPI to connect.
I used RESCO registry editor on my Q and took care of the file size limit... but I am EAGER to modify my start menu.
When I run enaableRAPI (it's from the zip file with the .bat, xml and .exe files) i get this:
Config failed (0x80070005): Access is denied.
I called Moto.. they said if ActiveSync is working (which it is) this is likely something put in place to prevent hacks and means that the software is not compatible.
I am SOOOO annoyed! I spent my money on this darn phone and some a$$hole programmer at M$ or AT&T or MOTO gets to decide how I can access my stuff.
Please help. =(
thanks.
Solution.. sorta
Resco Explorer... slower than other ways.. but it works..
