HELP NEEDED ....

I installed iPhone theme with this installer successfully but then somehow I managed to install wrong iconres.ezx file and now when I restart it shows splash screen and then does nothing. I believe its not able to load icon resources on startup.
Can you please help me out what I need to do to get back to working iconres.ezx file.
Is there only reflash an option or a way out to resolve it??

Many thanks in advance....
I know there are many experts in this forum to help people like me (newbie)..

thanks.. PL

@hadi_fotovati
I have no idea with smart-ass. but I install with yan0 mpkg and ezx mpkg it's ok.

You need to flash your cg43 with modified cg43. search it in forums. and telnet to phone by PC.

and copy a correct-iconres.ezx to repalce your wrong one. see where is your iconres.ezx in /ezx_user/download/appwrite/setup/ezx_skin.cfg. restart phone after that your phone It should ok.

Can I use CG43 from your blog on opera? will it work on my E6 with 08P?
Can I copy new iconres.ezx file while using telnet? I know little about it. haven't used so far.

@PL_REGISTER
yes, you can. it's the same file. and after you telnet to phone by echo command you can use window explorer to copy files.

1. looking /ezx_user/download/appwrite/setup/ezx_skin.cfg. It 'll tell you where iconres.ezx is.

2. copy new iconres.ezx to replace it. normally it should be in /ezxlocal/download/appwirte/setup/skin/XXXX

cheer!

Thanks Eakrin.
Just want to confirm that by reflashing CG43 with modified CG43 from your blog, Can I telnet E6 even though it gets stuck on splash screen.

Right now when I connect it to PC, it is not detected as Mass Storage device at all. so I think it has not finished initialisation.

Can I telnet to E6 without configuring anything on E6. If yes, thats what I want otherwise I will have flash it fully.

see ya soon!

Hi eakrin

I applied modified CG43 on 08P but I dont know how to telnet it.
I tried to put a simple skinrestore.lin script as below

cp /mmc/mmca1/startup/iconres.ezx /ezx_user/download/appwrite/setup/skin/

# make irritating noise to know if it runs
cat /usr/SYSqtapp/phone/8k.wav > /dev/dsp

but that didn't helped

anymore suggestions please??
