"Airplane Mode" in initial setup???

Fake "Airplane Mode" in initial setup

As suggested by .::Rey::., I would like to write this warning about the "Airplane Mode" in initial setup.

What I am talking about is the CG1 hack that enable the option "Airplane mode" in the "initial setup" of V360/L7. I tried this CG1 patch, but I don't think it is true airplane mode, and even it is not airplane mode at all.

The hack is a trick. It patches the original "Status light" option to make it an option that can turn your phone into "No service" state. In this state, you can't make/receive calls, can't send/receive SMS, can't use GPRS, but you can still use bluetooth, and you can still try to make call, send SMS and start browser, although it will fail.

I doubt this trick will actually stop sending signal/searching network. I hope the original hacker can tell us the theory behind it. We can achieve the same "No service" state if we choose a wrong band in network setting.

When the real airplane mode (the one in Yuetmod v2.x) is on, it will show "Airplane mode is on" instead of "No service". It will shut off all the wireless signal for GSM, GPRS & Bluetooth network. It will also disable all the functions in the menu that might activate any of the wireless signal. The main purpose is to avoid interference with Global Positioning system during airplane flight. It can be used in other area where cell phone signal is restricted, such as hospital.

I think we must take this "airplane mode" function seriously, as the fake "airplane mode" can cause fatal problem if you use it in the flight or the hospital.

How to delete iTap from langpack

If you prefer the tranditional Tap input instead of iTap, you can delete iTap from the langpack using the Delete_iTap software.

1. Start SHXcodec and open the LP SHX file.

2. Click "Split source SHX file". Don't close SHXCodec.

3. Start Delete_iTap program, click "Open CG" to open the code group (CG4) smg file of the langpack, which you extracted using SHXCodec in step 2;

4. Choose the language by clicking the check boxes, then click "Delete all chosen iTaps" from the selected languages. Click "Yes" to confirm.

5. Download the 08.A0 RAMDOWNLOADER.

6. in SHXCodec, click in the line which says ramdownloader, and select "replace". Replace it with the 08.A0 ramdownloader.

7. compile the langpack to get an updated SHX file. Flash the SHX to your phone to see the effect.

Part 2: for 08.D0/09.02 bootloader

1. Start RandomSHX and open the LP SHX file.

2. Click "Extract BIN files from SHX". Close RandomSHX.

3. Start Delete_iTap program, click "Open CG" to open the code group bin file of the langpack, which you extracted using RandomSHX in step 2; You can try if you are not sure which bin file is the LP. The Delete_iTap program will show an error when you open a wrong bin file.

How to flash V360 with 08.A2 bootloader

How to prepare flash file for V360 with 08.A2 bootloader

This post is based on the post by bullfrog in inbrite.com forum. All credits to bullfrog.

The boot 08.A2 is not so complicated. Just make the idea you have an 08.A0 boot and that's it. You get error when flashing, because most of the shx files (v360) are compiled to work with 08.A0 and 08.D0 bootloaders, but indeed they are compiled with a 08.D0 ramdownloader and bootloader 08.A2 doesn't allow flash with that ramdownloader.

To make any shx (MP/LP/DRM) work with your bootloader you have to recompile the flash file with an 08.A0 ramdownloader. When you are going to flash, open the file with rsd lite and put atention in the right screen of the program, there it says the ramdownloader version of he shx, if says 08.D0, the file will not work for 08.A2 phone, if says 08.A0 it's ok.

Compatibility table between Bootloader and Ramdownloader (v360):

Bootloader 08.A0: You can use ram A0 or D0.
Bootloader 08.A2: You can use A0.
Bootloader 08.D0: You can use D0.
Bootloader 09.02: You can use D0 (If the flash has a firmware without RSA protection will not work)

How to compile any shx to 08.A2 boot?

You will need shxcodec

1) Download the 08.A0 RAMDOWNLOADER.
2) Open the shx with shxcodec and click "split".
3) Then you click in the line which says ramdownloader, and select "replace". Replace it with the 08.A0 ramdownloader you got in step 1.
4) Then compile the shx, you give a name and wait for the file creation.
5) Flash with your new SHX (Just check if says 08.A0 in the rsd lite)

(In the future I will not make seperate flash file for 08.A2 bootloader. Please always follow the steps in this post to convert the 08.D0 flash file to 08.A0.)
