Make MPs compatible with sticky firmwares

Make your MPs compatible with sticky firmwares AER/E0R

Russian hackers announced a great CG1 patch. With this patch, you can make your MPs also compatible with phones with AER/E0R. You don't need to get rid of the sticky firmware any more.

This patch was brought to me by coccolino_dbro. He has tried it on his V360 successfully. I also tried. I flashed to AER, then I can flash successfully to my newly created YuetMod v1.9a MP, which is based on ABR.

Use V360 ABR as an example, you can follow these steps to apply the patch to your MP.
(Assume you already know how to apply RSA patch and compile MP.)
1. split/extract your MP, which has RSA protection removed.
2. use XVI32 to open the CG1 file.
3. press Ctrl + G and jump to hex offset 386A8.
4. replace the Hex values from 477846C0 to 20014770.
5. press Ctrl + G and jump to hex offset A373D8.
6. replace the Hex values from 477846C0 to 20014770.
7. save CG1, then compile a new MP.

Different firmwares have different offsets, please refer to the following patch codes for your firmware version:

Delete iTap from language pack

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.

Steps:

Part 1: for 08.A0/08.A2 bootloader

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.

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

5. Start RandomSHX, click "Create SHX file from BINs", then select the lst file, which you extracted in step 2. You will get an updated SHX file. Flash the SHX to your phone to see the effect.

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.)

Edit protected fields in Websession

How to edit protected fields in Websession

In some branded firmwares, some fields in the Websession, such as Homepage or APN are protected. When you want to edit these fields, you have only the numeric entry mode. Effectively make it impossible to change the original setting. This guide will show you how to edit the Websession to change these fields.

Tool you need:
P2K software, such as P2KTools or Moto4lin
HexEditor, such as XVI32 or HexEdit

Steps:

1. on your phone, go to Websession and go into the field that you want to edit;

2. as you can only enter numbers, just enter 99999999; (99999999 is just an example, you can enter other numbers)

3. save the setting;

4. connect your phone via USB, and open P2K software;

5. use P2K software to download the file /a/Websession from your phone to computer;

6. open HexEditor, and open the downloaded Websession;

7. in HexEditor, search for Hex String
39 00 39 00 39 00 39 00 39 00 39 00 39 00 39


8. you can it is shown 9.9.9.9.9.9.9.9 at the right side of the HexEditor. Now you can replace them with the value you want to set, for example, http://yuetblog.blogspot.com. Enter the text at the right side of the HexEditor. (The left side is the Hex values.) Remember to always replace the offset, don't insert new offset; and always leave a dot (Hex value 00) in between each character;


9. save the Websession file, and use P2K software to upload it back to /a/ on your phone;

10. restart your phone and it is done.

20 00 22 02 00 41 5C 6B 2B 05 D1 00 54 6A
then change the hex string to:
35 01 22 03 00 41 5C 6B 2В 04 DA 00 54 6A

6. search for this hex string;
495244414C696E6B0000000000000000000000000000000000 0000001400001CFFFF00E5
then change the hex string to:
4954554E455300000000000000000000000000000000000000 00000014000076FFFFFFFF

(steps 2-5 is patch for java midlet permission, which step 6 is patch for iTunes menu icon.)

7. save the file. Now you have the patched CG1 bin file.

8. follow RSA patch guide to recompile the MP with the patched CG1, then flash it to your phone.

9. after flashing, install iTunes as Corelet on your phone using Motomidman.

10. download the j2me_domain_registry.sm file.

11. use P2k software to backup the original j2me_domain_registry.sm file (in '/a/mobile/certs/root/x509/kjava'), then replace it with the new downloaded file.

12. set iTunes as SIGNED and CORELET using motomidman, then restart your phone.

13. use P2k software to download the /a/mobile/system/mma_ucp file, make a backup, then edit it to add ITUNES menu item. Read this guide if you are not sure how to edit mma file.

Change boot picture - part 1

Change boot picture part 1: find out the address of the picture in the flash

You may know that you can use motorola bootscreen replacer to replace the boot pictures (Hellomoto or Welcome pictures). However, before you can do that, you need to find out the address of the pictures in the flash, unless the address is already known and configured in the bootscreen replacer. This guide will show you how to find out the address and configure it in motorola bootscreen replacer.

There are two ways to find out the offsets, the graphical way and the Hex way.

Method 1: the graphical way

Tool you need:
Corona_editor
RandomSHX or SHXCodec

Steps:
1. use RandomSHX or SHXCodec to extract/split the MP that you want to mod;

2. open the CG1 bin/smg file in Corona_editor, as shown in following screen;


This is translation of the Corona_editor screen:


3. set width/height/color according to your phone, for example, 176/220/16bpp respectively;

4. click "jump to", then repeat clicking "Down page" until you find a screen similar to the following one;


5. click "Down/Up/Right/Left" button to adjust the picture position, until you see the full picture on screen;


6. click "+ Color" button to have a nicer preview, re-adjust the position if necessary;


7. write down the address, for example: 53E3C7

8. if you want to also replace the Welcome screen, repeat steps 4-7 to find out the address for the "Welcome" picture;

9. open offset.ini file in the folder of motorola bootscreen replacer, add the offset setting as follows;


"backup_shift" is the starting offset of CG1. "backup_shift=92000" is the setting for V360/L7. Other model may have different offset.

10. you are ready to replace the bootscreen pictures. In part 2, I will show you how to replace the boot picture using motorola bootscreen replacer.

(The offset you got using the above method might not be 100% correct, but it is near. You can use the 2nd method to verify the offset.)

Method 2: the Hex way (more accurate)
11. open the CG1 bin in a HexEditor, search for the following Hex strings to find the Hellomoto picture;

14 15 14 15 14 15 14 15 14 15 14 15 14 15 14 15 14 15 14 15 14 15 14 15 14 15 14 15 14 15 14 15 14 15 14 15 14 15 14 15 14 15 14 15 14 15 14 15 14 15 14 15 14 15 14 15 14 15 14 15 14 15 14 15 14 15 14 15 14 15 14 15 14 15 14 15 14 15 14 15 14 15 14 15

12. the offset of the first "14" minus 1 will be the address of the Hellomoto picture;


13. search for the following Hex strings to find the Welcome picture;

F8 00 F8 00 F8 00 F8 00 F8 00 F8 00 F8 00 F8 00 F8 00 F8 00 F8 00 F8 00 F8 00 F8 00 F8 00 F8 00 F8 00 F8 00 F8 00 F8 00 F8 00 F8 00 F8 00 F8 00 F8 00 F8 00 F8 00 F8 00 F8 00 F8 00 F8 00 F8 00 F8 00 F8 00 F8 00 F8 00 F8 00 F8 00 F8 00 F8 00 F8 00 F8 00

14. the offset of the first "F8" minus 1 will be the address of the Welcome picture;


15. follow steps 9 & 10.

RSA Patch

RSA patch for motorola flash neptune LTE2 phones

Well! Good day everybody. This is another milestone for moto modders. A trick was found to bypass CG1 RSA check on Flash Neptune LTE2 phones. Bypassing CG1 RSA check enables us to modify the CG1 flash. Open endless possibility for modders. Random has developed a tool "RandomRSA2" to patch code groups CG1, CG7 and CG18, so as to patch the RSA. Confirmed working on V360, L7, L6, and V3i.

Warning: not for newbies, don't try if you are not experienced modders.
Warning: It seems that this RSA patch does not work on phones with 09.02 bootloader.

Steps to patch RSA:

1. download & install RandomRSA2;

2. split firmware/monsterpack using RandomSHX or SHXCodec;

3. open CG1, CG7 and CG18 in RandomRSA2, then click "patch RSA" button;


4. (do whatever change you want in CG1, such as replace hellomoto splash picture, change firmware version, change system sounds, etc)
- replace bootscreen picture

5. use RandomSHX or Shxcodec to replace modified CG1, CG7, CG18 in the shx file, and compile a new shx MP.

6. flash the new shx using RSD Lite.

How to install skins

How to put skins into motorola phones

I think this is one of the two most asked newbie's questions. Another is how to install java games & apps.

There are many ways to install skins. Here I show you two ways. The first is the tranditional and mac-friendly way, another way is using skiman.

Manually upload skins using P2KTools or Moto4lin
For example, you want to install a skin named "YuetMod". You have the YuetMod.ski file and a few .dat files, such as YuetMod.dat, YuetMod1.dat, YuetMod2.dat, etc.
1. start p2ktools or moto4lin, and connect your phone via USB;

LP Guide - part 2 - Change Language

How to extract/add/delete languages in/from Language pack

Continue from LP Guide - part 1.

This part will show you how to extract/add/delete languages in/from Language pack. A langpack usually contains English and some other languages. You can use the langpack editor in SHXCodec to save each language as lng file, and you can add/delete languages in/from the langpack. Follow this guide, you will be able to create a customised LP for yourself, with only the languages you want, without those that you don't want. One thing you should bear in mind is that the langpack has limit in size (about 2MB), so you can put too many languages in one langpack.

Extract/add/delete language from/to LP
1. start SHXCodec, select menu "Utilities" then "LangPack Editor";
2. in the LangPack Editor, click "Open langpack" to open the LangPack SMG file as "Source LangPack file";
3. click "Parse language" button, a list of languages in the LP will be shown under "Languages";
4. To extract language, select the language which you want to extract and click "Save language" to save it as a lng file;
5. To delete language, select the language and click "Delete";
6. To add language, select "Add from file" button, then select the lng language file;
7. After you have completed the change in the langpack, click "Save langpack" button to save the LP in SMG format;
8. follow part 1 guide "Compile a LangPack reflash file using the SMG file" to compile the LP reflash file.

In next part, I will show you how to change text in the language.

Transfer files from computer to phone

How to Transfer files from computer to motorola p2k cell phone

I saw this question was quite frequently asked in forums, so I think I should write this post. There are a few ways you can transfer files, such as MP3 or pictures, to your phone.

transfer to memory card
If you have a Trans-flash (TF) card in your phone, you can connect your phone as a removable drive, and copy the files to the folder in the card. Before you connect your phone via usb, you need to select "Memory card" in menu "Connection - USB setting".

transfer via bluetooth
If you have bluetooth in your phone and your computer, you can set up your phone as a bluetooth device in the computer, then use bluetooth to transfer files to your phone. Don't forget to power on the bluetooth on your phone. For Mac users, I have written the following guides.
Set up bluetooth phone on Mac, and
Make your phone a bluetooth hard disk

transfer via p2k software
To use P2K software, you have to first install p2k driver and the p2k software, such as P2KTools. After that, select "Data/Fax mode" in menu "Connection - USB setting", and connect your phone via USB. Your phone should be detected by p2k tools. P2KTools can browse the file system in your phone, and upload/download files to/from your computer.

Hex Edit Guide - part 5

Hex Edit Guide part 5

Continue from [Hex Edit guide part 1] , [part 2], [part 3] & [part 4].

This part covers:
- simple edit of mma_ucp file.

simple edit of mma_ucp

Following this guide, you can replace an existing unused menu item with a new menu item, or swap the position of two existing menu items. In the following steps, I will show you how to swap the position of "Shortcuts" and "RecentCall".

Steps:

1. use P2K software to download the mma_ucp file. The file is in /a/mobile/system/. Please make a backup of the file.

2. open the file using Hex editor.

3. search for text "RecentCall".


4. replace text "RecentCall" with "Shortcuts".


5. as "RecentCall" is one character longer than "Shortcuts", you must replace the hex value "6C" of the last character "l" with "00".


6. search for another appearance of "Shortcuts", then replace it with "RecentCall".

7. save the file, then upload it to /a/mobile/system

8. restart your phone to see the change.

Skin edit trick - caller photo

Skin edit trick Adjust coordinate of caller photo

I think this trick is already well known. You can edit the skin .SKI file to adjust the dimension/coordinate of the displayed caller photo when there is incoming calls.

Tools you need:
TextWrangler for Mac or UltraEdit for PC

Steps

1. download the .ski file (i.e. moto.ski) from your phone to your computer.

2. make a backup of the file, then open it using the text editor (TextWrangler or UltraEdit).

3. in the ski file, look for the 4 lines similar to the followings.
1 478 2 82 173 107
1 479 48 113 127 192
1 480 2 108 173 197
1 481 5 84 170 105

explanation
- The first 2 columns (i.e. 1 478) are the ID of the items, so you must not change them. The 3rd to 6th columns define the coordinate of the item. 3rd & 4th define the top-left corner of the rectangle, while 5th & 6th define the bottom-right corner.
- 1st line (1 478) defines the coordinates of the background of caller title
- 2nd line (1 479) defines the coordinates of the photo of the caller
- 3rd line (1 480) defines the coordinates of the background of caller photo
- 4th line (1 481) defines the coordinates of the title of the caller

4. you can adjust the coordinates to whatever you want. The following setting is just for your reference. This setting is used in the skins of my YuetMod MPs. Try it to see the difference. It will display big caller photo. You may need to adjust them to fit your skin.

1 478 2 17 173 37
1 479 4 37 170 196
1 480 2 37 173 197
1 481 5 17 170 36

5. after you have changed the coordinates, save the ski file and upload it back to your phone. It is done!
