V551, logo on outside screen

Posted: 05-14-2006, 04:16 AM
Ever since I flashed my V551 with the wrong firmware by accident, the
outside screen has displayed the word "Cingular." I was just wondering how
I'd go about changing it back to the Morotola logo that was there
originally. Is it as simple as uploading a new graphic? Or is there more
to it? How complicated is it?

Reflash with with an unbranded MonsterPack from www.planetmotox.net or
just change the screen if that's the only place the branding bothers
you.

Decided to go the reflash route, since that's what I did to get the Cingular
firmware onto the phone in the first place.

I downloaded a flash/flex monster pack for my V551, and installed the
software and followed the instructions at
http://www.mob453.com/phones/motorola_v600/

When I tell the MultiFlashFlex to start flashing the phone, I get one of
those Windows XP "send error report to Mocrosoft" dialogs, followed by an
error that says,

"The instruction at 0x5f4012a1" referenced memory at "0x00000004". The
memory could not be "read". Click OK to terminate the program:"

Now... Is this an incompatibility issue with the program? I'm pretty sure
I don't have any bad memory registers at the moment. Are there other
programs I could use to flash the phone, or is MultiFlashFlex the best/only
one?

I'd recommend using RSD Lite. Much easier. Here's a link:

I'll check it out, thanks. One other thing... All the software that I
installed initially to get my phone flashed (and to get seem editors and
such working) sort of replaced the drivers for Mobile Phone Tools. Is there
a utility that'll reset things, or do I have to reinstall the program
everytime I play with my phone's software?

You should be able to use both - but not at the same time. Try
reinstalling the MPT software. I use BT with MPT to avoid conflicts.

The program worked. Pretty smoothly, actually. My V551 now seems to think
it's a V547... Not sure if that'll cause any problems, but I guess time
will tell.

O was just looking at the 0061-0001 seem (the one that sets the text on the
outside screen on the V551, and noticed that it's just the word "Motorola"
spelled out in Hex. Question, though... How do you get the little Motorola
logo icon to appear before the text? Is there a graphic file that does
that?

I think there's some good info on that on the forums at
www.motomodders.net and at www.motox.net.
I've never played around with that myself.
