German HOME ZONE with T-mobile 4.0.10

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...

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.

Change Network Name ?

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

Released: 3 UK Ext ROM

Find attached the Extended ROM of 3 UK.
Dont think that it's incomplete due to the small size, u ll find out that it contains several cabs.
I m sure many will find it usefull.
BTW i m still waiting someone's reply on how to dump a rom. I already tried few things with the tools mentioned in wiki but i m not quite sure if i m doing this right. I will really apreciate a feedback on this. Pls feel free to PM me...

Z£Y$

Many thanks mate. This is really appreciated. wish I could help with the rom dump but I am still learning myself. good luck with it.

Umm this is a slightly modded version that does NOT remove the wireless section from the today screen as the original does, and adds a few freeware apps that I use every day. The apps being:
Tcpmp
Total Commander
PS Shut XP
HTC Xbutton
PHM Regedit
and RAR Archive manager.
This is still in the same format as the above (the files only) and not in .nbf format as I simply don't know how to dump it / compile it. So it's for unlocked extended roms only.
For a guide to cooking your unlocked extended rom have a lookee here
I am using this rom on top of an original O2 Exec rom not the QTec rom used by 3UK and it installs fine. So it should work with any universal variant.
Happy 3'ing!

Have now made the ms_.nbf file for of the original files from Z£Y$ for flashing via RUU.
http://rapidshare.com/files/66799675/3uk_ext_rom.zip.html
And here is the ms_.nbf extended rom file for my own version that includes the apps above.
http://rapidshare.com/files/66989609/3uk_ext_rom_psidoc.zip.html
And here is the rom with all the streaming media bits n bobs already in with the browser string modded to suit 3 as well.

Thanks for these Guys.
I wish I could help with dumping the ROM too. I've been looking for the 3 ROM for months.

The 3 rom is a standard Qtek rom with the 3 bits n bobs added in the extended rom.
Basically you can use any WM5 (or 6 if you don't want videocall) of your choice and all the 3 stuff is in the extended roms above.
@Z£Y$ what version of Qtek rom is your 9000 using.

Re:
PSIDOC thanks for confirming this m8.
F***k the ROM dump then lol
BTW i m on:
ROM version:1.30.77 WWE
Radio version: 1.09
ExtROM version: 1.30.246 WWE
Is this the latest Qtek ROM version?
Regards
Z£Y$

Ah, I didn't realise this.
I had gone back to the basic Qtek rom quite some time ago to sort out issues with the web connection dropping out all the time.
I still have issues with being unable to get to My3 with the E61 block. I think this is something to do with certificates. I have no idea how to solve this.

I've asked 3 if they can provide it. Don't hold your breath though.
I contacted them today, they said they would get back to me.

Welcome mate. Re having the latest, I think you are, however have a lookee here (requires you to register.)
http://www.myqtek.com/europe/myqtek.aspx
@ Lakota,
The reason for the E61 block page is because you are using a web browser, not a WAP browser to view the pages on 3. I found this out eventually on my old nokia E61. Sadly the Uni doesn't have a Wap browser. Please refer to This post here for Z£Y$ method of getting around that. Personally I use Opera for a browser so i don't get the problem. You could alway just click the services icon and viola you get past the E61 block.

A Response To Your Find
An Interesting Find

@ PsiDOC
Do you get all the services using opera? such as "today on 3" and access to all "services" such as mobile TV??? I was not able to do so with opera untill few minutes ago hence i decided to release a guide.
@Lakota
I had very lenghty discussions with 3UK and the outcome of the numerous callbacks is that Qtek 9000 is not compatible by 3UK to use planet3. So do not expect a solution by them. However there is a workarond as i m describing here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=341755

Thanks very much for the extended rom and for your guides, Z£Y$. It might finally be time to ditch my Orange sim and get a 3 contract sim I think!
Quick question though, as I don't know too much about the services 3 provides - are ALL the various services that are available on 3 working on the Universal with your guides/workarounds or are there still things that don't work 100%?

With regard to services I only really browse the 3 uk site to check what I owe and get the news etc so yes today on 3 does work. I haven't used the Mobile TV so cant comment on that. Opera is fine for doing that. I usually go in on mobile.three.co.uk and it automatically redirects me without the E61 block page.
With regards your fix for the streaming media most of the files for getting it to work should already be in WM5. If you like I can add the rest into the Extended Rom and have that do the registry change as well, so when you first setup and the customisation is performed it's all done for you. No fuss no hassle then.
If you want it, give me a day or 2 as it's a bit manic here today.

@PsiDOC
Yes m8 if we can add the procedure i.e registry fixes and files to the Ext ROM will be excellent. I m gonna give this a go myself as well if i have some time... BTW HTC streaming media is not included in my wm5.
@XTCrefugee
All of the services from 3 are working now!!!

Many thanks guys.
Some very useful information posted here. Much Appreciated.
Cheers.

Ok peeps, I would have had the streaming tv ext rom sorted by now, however I am having problrms putting the coredll.dll file into a .cab file for the extended rom. It's sending my PC into a 100% CPU loop. Everything else packs up ok, it's just this little monster that's giving me a headache.
Bear with me on this I will sort it.
Psi

m8 one thing to consider is that these dll files for the streaming media need only to be ADDED if missing. In my case i added only few of them and ignored the rest without to overwrite the existing ones. So if you ll make a cab file it will install all of them rather than installing only the missing ones .....correct me if i m wrong.
Ideally during instalation u should be promted about the existing dll files.
Regards
Z£Y$

I appreciate that mate. However what we have to consider is the varying configurations for user installations. I can set a .cab file for "if exists = skip install" on files which will bypass on install if the file is alrady present.
It's just that I cannot get this bloody file into a .cab file....
It's annoying me now. Been trying all night. GRRRRRR!

Streaming Extended rom is now done and uploaded to rapidshare.

enable Rogers Name Display - cab format

This has already been posted in the hacking and development forum, but for those folks who do not frequent that forum, I am posting it here.
This cab enables Rogers Name Display (while on Rogers/Fido) when using a non-Rogers ROM. I have tested it in Shadow 2.1 CE, TESS 2.5, and OpalR2. This cab simply replaces the rilgsm.dll with the one from the Official Rogers 6.0 ROM and enables the feature in the registry.
So far it seems that it can be safely removed if you decide you don't want it. It has only been tested on the Touch Enhanced (ELFin). It may or may not work on the original Touch (ELF).
Note: this has only had limited testing, so use at your own risk.

Great, was following the other thread earlier, didn't realize we had a solution. Thank you for letting everyone else know.

As already stated by myself in the original thread here , this fix works for me. Thanks again, trueg. I think some people owe you money as mentioned in the other thread.

Does anywone know if the same thing can be done for Android 2.1 OS (Phones) and up? I have been looking for this to work on my Milestone running on Rogers for a while now, I hate to go back to my BB.

[SOLVED] How do chefs change "Model No"?

[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]
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
is used for internet based stuff
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\ActiveSync]
"DeviceModel"="XV6875"
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
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.
