Hello,
I'm using my Universal in Brazil, and the networks names apper as numbers here:
72431, 72512, 72141 (examples)
I would like to change the display name to the real name of the network ("Oi", "Tim", "Claro" etc.)
Anyone?
Thanks
That's somewhere in the Radio ROM. Not sure if you can extract the lookup file for that or if it is hardwired somewhere. You should make HTC aware of the issue.
Solution No 1 : you can put in your Windows catalog graphic file as logo of you provider (*.gif) named carrierlogo.gif so you can see proper name .
Solution No2 : upgrade radio rom ( I prefer v 1.09)
there is a thread on this in the Himalaya section. Afaik that still works on WM5.
search for 'networknames'
Its about setting some registry keys and you can get any text based on the operator 'numbers'in your screen.
The carrierlogo.gif trick is operator independent. No matter what the network id is, it will always show the same logo.
I'm already running Radio 1.09.00
Rom 1.30.77 WWE.
I tried searching it again, and I can't find any topics about the registry...
can u post a link?
Thanks
This is the final post in the thread i meant. hard to find indeed

Hi all!
When i overwrite the rilgsm.dll file in the t-mobile 4.0.10 image with the rilgsm.dll from the O2 GER 3.19 image, i could use the "O2 home zone" option with the hz.exe in Starup directory? rilgsm.dll from german image hes 'at+creg=2' string in it. probably the RIL_GetCellTowerInfo call is now implemented. When it can work, how could i write the german rilgsm.dll to the image? I haven't linux, could somebody cook the image for me?
here is the germen rilgsm.dll and the hz.exe for the "home zone" funktion! http://www.nokiaprog.de/XDA/home_zone.zip

We have bad experiences mixing RIL stuff between ROMs: it never worked. We haven't tried this combination, but we tried quite a few things to get a 4.00.x version with Wmodem, to no avail...
But your line of thought is good, and some day someone will find the right combination of files to transplant...
[email protected]
Is there to give any possibility around this RIL_GetCellTowerInfo information of the file hz.exe, so that with the correct cell the symbol in the display you can indicate?

HomeZone
Hello,
It might be a very late answer but...
Homezone is not using the Tower cell info. Instead it listens for some BCM messages from the current cell that basically contain a pair or coordinates (bcmx, bcmy) comming on channel 221.
Also the sim cards from o2 contains a small file that defines coordinates for Homezone1, Homezone2, Homezone3 and CityZone
So using HZ with other sim cards other than O2 wont work The software also checks for the network its registered to.

hello,
I am with WM6 DarkForce /2.10.02 wwe/ and 1.15.00 Radio and have the next problem:
The name of my mobile operator is Vivatel /Bulgaria/ but phone OS recognize it only by op number - 28403. i found a registry key :
local machine\system\state\phone\current op name: 28403
and change it to: Vivatel. It works fine till phone off. after that again op number 28403. please help me to change this stupid number with real op name. 10x in advance
PS. with previuos versions of ROM /PDAVIET and offic WWE ROM the situation was the same/
any ideas ???
Vivatel
I have the same problem, but solution.... not
I'm from BG too
I sincerely apologize for this. I searched for an hour on the forum and couldn't get an answer or a thread. Does anyone know how to spoof the IE user agent of the Trinity to get it to point to the Rogers WAP homepage to make use of the unlimited video on demand and radio stuff? Do you have a cab file or custom settings to allow me to point to it?
Thanks in advance,
Gilbert
I am in the same boat, using the Trinitiy on Rogers 3G. Asked the same question on HowardForums as well as searched extensively all over the place and so far no solution to using the Rogers Video-on-demand service on the Vision plan. It appears that the page mymobilehomepage.rogers.com will not display correctly for non-Rogers phone. I've seen one poster mention on HowardForums that "Or for unsupported phones like HTC Tytn, Trinity you need to spoof the User Agent value of the IE browser to show as a supported phone." No idea what he meant by "spoof the User Agent value" and he didn't answer my request to clarify. The thread is located here: http://www.howardforums.com/showthread.php?t=1164477
If you come across a solution, please share, I am sure this would be of great interest to not only Trinity but also Tytn and Blackjack users.
Hi,
I wrote a mini tutorial not too long ago on how to change your user agent string in PIE. I have a Trinity, but the method should work equally well for any windows mobile phone (post AKU 3.3).
See: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=305008
As the link explains, after modifying the appropriate dll file, you will need to change a registry key to the useragent string of the phone you want to simulate. Assuming you know a model of phone that is supported by this "Rogers 3G network", a google search should lead you to the correct UA string within seconds
jamesbest77, thanks for the clarification, after reading your thread it all kinda makes sense. I've tried googling for the Samsung A706 user agent string and to my embarrassment couldn't come up with anything that would even remotely resemble the format of the user string you posted for your Nokia.
I've posted a request for the correct UA string on HoFo: http://www.howardforums.com/showthread.php?p=9236713#post9236713 Hopefully somebody with an A706 will respond. I'll make sure to post it here if they do.
I couldnt find it either, sorry for making it sound so easy
I had a look on the rogers site and it looks like there are other models that are supported. I forgot to mention, when a site detects a supported phone model, the web page sent back is usually rendered specifically for that model of phone. Since different phones use different browsers and have different screen resolutions, its not the case that any supported phone model will be compatible with the tytn/trinity. When visiting a webpage, with a modified user agent string, you may get a prompt to download a file even though you are visiting a site that worked fine normally. This means that particular user agent string isnt compatible with the trinity.
So the best thing to do is to try all of them until you get one that works, then stick with that. I had a look on the rogers site and these phones are listed (amongst many others).

James, do you think it's worth trying the A707 (US version of the A706) UA string data? Both models should be identical in hardware and functionality. The A707 UA string is:
SAMSUNG-SGH-A707/1.0 SHP/VPP/R5 NetFront/3.3 SMM-MMS/1.2.0 profile/MIDP-2.0 configuration/CLDC-1.1 UP.Link/6.3.0.0.0
I am wondering if simply changing the model number from 707 to 706 might do the trick.
I have no idea how to extract the browser.dll file from the ROM (using the latest HTC WM5 version, haven't jumped onto the WM6 bandwagon yet). Would you be able create two .cab files, one for changing the UA to A706 and another to return to the regular Trinity settings? Sorry for asking to be spoonfed, I just have no clue how to get the .dll file and hex-edit it...
I'm not sure you can modify dll files unless you are using a cooked rom due to some certification procedure. Though I might be *completely* wrong here, since I'm a bit of a n00b too. We could give it a go anyway. If things go pear shaped, you could just reflash with the original htc rom anyway, so back up everything important first!
You said you are "using the latest HTC WM5 version". Could you be more specific? Which version number is it and where did you get this rom from exactly? A direct link to the rom would be good. Even better ?and perhaps more enjoyable for you? would be if you could download the rom yourself and extract the file browser.dll using Mamiach's Imgfs tools (here). The thread describes how to use the tools to extract the files from the rom file.
Once you have the file, zip it up and send it to me, and I'll make the necessary cabs and post them here.
[I asked this in the wrong forum previously -- sorry for the repeat topic]
I would like to understand where the Model No string comes from. This value is shown in device info and apparently checked by some software to determine if it's running on "known" or "supported" phones (e.g., Bing).
For example this is "T-Mobile_LEO" on a US HD2.
How does a chef influence this value, and more importantly, is it possible for me to change it without needing a new ROM image or having to reflash (e.g., via the registry, or updating a file, etc)?
Some pieces of software simply check model.txt (in the windows folder).
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Internet Explorer\User Agent]

is used for internet based stuff
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\ActiveSync]
"DeviceModel"="XV6875"

can be used
Just do a search for the model number shown in device info in total commander (do a search in the registry section), and see what comes up.

User-Agent is possible, but I don't think he's referring to the others. He said "T-Mobile_LEO", but HTC won't show out code names in these places except User-Agent. Maybe the OP can specific this question?
On an HD2, Settings tab -> "About Phone" -> Phone Identity
Bing picks this up:
NOTE: the above is on a cooked ROM where the chef has gratuitously changed the Model No (on a stock ROM, it's something like T-Mobile_LEO). Unfortunately this causes Bing to think it's in beta mode because it doesn't recognize the phone it's running on. I want to know if I can change it back without reflashing.
Thanks for the tips, folks. Both registry settings mentioned above have "T-Mobile_LEO" in them.
However \windows\ModelName.txt contains the value the chef changed it to ("HTC HD2").
Is it possible for me to change ModelName.txt even though it's a ROM file?
Secondarily I'm also curious about how the registry values got initialized to T-Mobile_LEO -- where specifically did *that* string come from, given that ModelName.txt contains a different string?
I created a cab with the WM6.1 SDK and it worked. My phone identifies as a T-Mobile_LEO and Bing (after being uninstalled and reinstalled) stops identifying itself as beta.
Thanks for the tips folks.
Ok happy ending lets change the name as OP didnt do it

Yes, you can. Copy it out and edit it, then use 3rd-party file explorers such as Resco or Total Commander to overwrite the ROM file. The identity string is also a registry:
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Ident]
"Name"="T-Mobile_LEO"

May I know for my knowledge what does this [OP] indicate?
I have searched my kitchen endlessly for the T-Mobile_LEO string that shows up as per picture one in the earlier post, and cannot find it. The ModelName.txt file contains the correct text (as I have a Touch Pro 2).
The reg key that seems to set this is HKLM\system\platform\OEMString but I cannot find the source of this in the kitchen.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Does anyone have any further sugegstions? I am at a loss with this as to where this is being set. My best guess is Manila and that is why the search is not picking it up? I am no good with manila so am seeking guidance.

It depends which kitchen or tools you are using.
In Oskitchen you can find it in 'NBH Structure.xml'
It contains the rom version and settings to create the nbh.
The kitchen uses nbImageTool.exe made by Da_G which reads this file to create the nbh.

Thank you for the reply.
The nbh structure.xml correctly identifies my device as a RHOD 300. The T-Mobile_LEO must be coming from somewhere else.
I use OsKItchen and the source dumped rom was from a Rhodium and so my OEM and device profile comes from that. The erroneous model no must be coming from an EXT package as far as I can see.
If you are looking for a package I would say Oemversion.

If you have swype, it would probably be coming from there.
Aaaahhhhh - now that would explain why I cannot find any reference to it in my kitchen. I could never get swype to work as an EXT package the way I wanted so it installs within XDA-UC.
Time to pull that cab apart I think.

If you do change the Model name, Swype probably won't work. It looks at the model name.

I wanted to downgrade my pocket pc os to it's original rom because the windows mobile 5 does not have a transcriber.thanks
Hello nfstanton,
I don't have any i-Mate ROMs, but would be willing to search if I know more about what you need. I bet the following information might help others want to help you...
Could you list the model name or number of your i-Mate?
Are you trying to downgrade to 2003 or 2002? With or without phone? What language ROM?
Any chance you know the ROM version number that you want?
Wishing you success.
ph10b windows mobile 2003..thanks
LOL - I see that is a hard to find ROM... HTC Worldwide doesn't even list the Himalaya on their Support page anymore. Other resources I checked don't have it in repository either.
One quick fix may be to Download the install package for Transcriber direct from M$. It is listed for WM 2002, but may work under WM 5.
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...c3-2eee-41e3-9339-f7b303f4b386&DisplayLang=en
They have it in English, French and German...
Or
Here on xda I found an "All Himalaya WM 6.x ROMs" thread by user maggie
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=379017
Lots of ROMs in multiple languages to choose from...
Some of the links might still be good... Maybe an Upgrade instead of a Downgrade??? Especially since WM 2003 is next to be phased out of support by M$.
P.S.: I'll still poke around looking for the WM 2003 a bit... Post back if either option above solves your problem so I don't keep searching needlessly.
Here is a Blog with info and working download link for a cooked version of WM2003 ROM which installs on all Himalaya... (It appears to be an English Language ROM)

I'm glad you found an answer. Honestly, that post made my day. Thanks Bro.
There's a little problem
I'm having difficulty changing the operator in the WM2003 nbk and radio files..it says that i have to use command prompt and enter the words in the instructions so i entered them and it says that it doesn't recognize the syntax...How do you really change the operator ID of the ROM? Please elaborate the steps..if you can.Thanks
I'm honestly not up to speed on Radio Stacks... There is a large group of threads for your device here:
