use shx codec to make shx file.. Use RAMLDR from any langpack.

i thought something's wrong
i made a shx file and shx codec asked something about RAMDLR (not found would you like to use the integrated one, or something like this). i flashed it with RSD Lite and after extraction it said Failure.
RAMLDR is a software for flashing lang packs?

i've tried that and my phone died  :'(
when i'm trying to turn it on it automaticaly enters bootloader and says 'Code Corrupt"

now i'm flashing a backup and hope every thing will be allright

the backup worked but i don't know wtf happend with that lang pack.
ok this method didn't work.
how can i modify just "dnp.prf"?
Moto lang editor can open just langpack cg4.

Later edit:
I don't have to use Moto lang editor i have to use Random Language Editor. That one can open dnp.prf.
I've created a new dnp.prf with it because most of the strings from my phone were shown in russian and other languages... very few in english. So i copyed the new dnp.prf in /a/mobile/ but i'm not going to restart the phone yet (because i don't have too much battery and if it happens again to break my phone i don't have enought battery to restore again a backup) so i'll reboot the phone tomorow and see what happens.

You can use Language Editor 1.5 (here: http://www.e398mod.com/content/view/72/28/ (http://www.e398mod.com/content/view/72/28/)) to open your dnp.prf and add on it the string to the lock/unlock message.
*Note that you are supposed to activate the "Dynamic Prompts" using P2K Tool, MOST or P2K Advanced Editor.

Post by: BruceLee on September 14, 2007, 11:52:28 am
and how can i activate that?

i found in that program's readme:

 You must activate DYNAMIC_PROMPTS_AVAILABLE bit in 0032 seem (Offset 72, Bit 7)

ok i've entered there read the 0032 seem, and now? I don't get it. Which is offset 72 and which is bit 7?


Title: Re: Lock/Unlock message
Post by: Jithin on September 14, 2007, 08:34:33 pm
Open the seem using Hex editor. Then click on the address-->Goto-->write the offset. After that click tools-->Bit manipulation-->Do the necessary edit.. Save it back

PLEASE USE THE "MODIFY" OPTION TO EDIT YOUR POST RATHER THAN POSTING NEW ONES IN SUCCESION..


Title: Re: Lock/Unlock message
Post by: BruceLee on September 14, 2007, 11:27:35 pm
Ok. i'll be careful with the "modify" option.
I've entered there. went to offset 72 and entered bit manipulation. there the bit 7 must be checked is that right?
Well if that's it please tell me because in my phone is allready checked. I have 0, 1, 5, 6, 7 checked and 2, 3, 4 unchecked.
Thanks.


Title: Re: Lock/Unlock message
Post by: fernandojapa on September 15, 2007, 04:36:23 pm
yep, bit 7 must be checked!  :D

you can do this edit directly using p2k tools on hidden settings-> multimedia-> DYNAMIC_PROMPTS_AVAILABLE (set ON)

BTW: to edit your dnp.prf you must to open it with language editor 1.5, add a new string with your language id. The id of the new string must be the same id of the string that you want to change on language pack. The text, whatever you want.
(For example, if you set string id=0525, text=MyLanguage and language id=03 the text that is showed to "English" on the list of languages will be replaced by "MyLanguage" couse the string id 0525 store the name of the language on your langpack. The dnp.prf will replace this string for you on the language you've selected (you can find the string id opening a langpack that have your language with Moto Lang Editor))

Post by: BruceLee on September 16, 2007, 08:40:35 am
well that means it's already set
i'll try to add a line and see what happens
thanks

Later Edit:
Offtopic: Unfortunately i have some problems with my computer because of windows so after i reinstall windows i will tell you what's the result of those replyes. Thanks again.

It worked and i think is much easier than to edit lang pack because after chechink bit 7 you can edit the dnp.prf when you want. no lose of time with shx codec and flashing. just copy paste

Thanks guys this method worked.
Now i know there is somewhere over here a topic or something about the lock/unlock key combination but i can't find it thought i still remember that i read something. How can i do this? Or at least give me a link to the topic.
I'm still searching it...


Later Edit:

I found at motomodders in the e398 bible a topic:
http://www.motomodders.net/Default.aspx?tabid=55&forumid=13&postid=127684&view=topic (http://www.motomodders.net/Default.aspx?tabid=55&forumid=13&postid=127684&view=topic)

And for lock/unlock key combination can be used this program:
http://www.esnips.com/doc/e9c6393d-2f3b-41bc-b66b-e7f6f4c35aa1/A%7EELUPG_v1.1.3_e (http://www.esnips.com/doc/e9c6393d-2f3b-41bc-b66b-e7f6f4c35aa1/A%7EELUPG_v1.1.3_e)

I supose i'm not the onlyone bored by the standard key combination so maybe there are others that will find useful this topic.

@moderator: If the links are warez or something's wrong with this post please edit it
