Stock R3443U5 (V3T, as sold by T-Mobile),

no custom MP’s DRM's have been flashed to this unit

Problem:

After any edit of the mma_ucp, Menu items do not display correctly

After a edit of the Mma_ucp the:

1: USB setting under connections is miss-linked, does not work, cannot change USB settings from Memory Card to Data/Fax connection.
2: Under connections “Active Call” shows, instead of USB settings.. Active call being linked to ALARM CLOCK.

Tools used:

Using P2K Menu editor 2.3 to edit menu
MMA Converter 1[1].3 to convert mma_ucp so it can be edited by P2K Menu editor 2.3

Have tried both selecting” and “un-selecting” the MMA Converter check box. One post I read saying to check it the first go around, thenn ot the second… that didn’t work either.

Original Menu:

P2K Menu Editor v 2.3 lists "Stock mma_ucp as:

1: <???> (which is VOICE NOTES) (has branding links)
2: Recent Calls
3: Get More (has branding links)
4: IM
5: Messages
6: Multimedia (menu Item caption= Fun & Apps)
7: Help (has branding links)
8: Phonebook
9: Settings

Modified Mma_ucp (Menu) should be displaying the following as the “Icons”

1: USB settings
2: Datebook
3: WebAcess
4: AlarmClock
5: Recent Call
6: Multimedia
7: Help ( This is the only “branded icon- have tried deleting that one as well + toggling on options in the hidden menu via P2K Menu editor 2.3 as well)
8: Phonebook
9: Settings

BUT INSTEAD IS SHOWING ????:

Possible reasons?

PASSWORD-LOCKED ????

Unbranded the menu items by selecting “Clear All” via P2K Menu Editor 2.3…

Noticed that on the following items a RED box under Parmarters /Menu Item name says on the following items PASSWORD-LOCKED:

Voice Notes
Get More (each link within also being pass-word locked)
Settings ( the <????>, Voice notes showing as password-locked)

Have tried toggling OFF that box, saving file as such, then selecting Clear All… that strips the branding links and resaving the file with no effect.
The only thing I have not done is to delete the files themselves that the branding links point to.
(I have also tried “patching” the skin)

Any idea’s guys?

Anyone noticed that the USB settings go away, and the menu icons don’t match up what they are supposed to be?

On... on that LAST icon on the lower right on the modified menu... It say "Extra's, and when you lcik on it it brings up (2) options (IM), and Multimedia

Problem?= P2K MENU EDITOR 2.3 no longer works, and there are hardy any posts (info) on the subject.

Solution to the above???

Hex Editing via xvi32 is called for since P2K Menu Editor no longer works on the new T-Mobile branded phones, and the other new models that are not supported any longer.
(read that as any provider that hot links a app from the main menu)

Catch-22 to all of this is Seeing how the P2K editor hasn't been updated since april 2006, the author is in Russia...and more than likely isn't in then near future getting their hands on any "branded" non-Russian phones as test mules.

The "Fix" ? I would think it's going to be up to people that are reading this post to write up a how to on hex editing the menu.

I was hoping some of the old-school modders that have had to do this via the old-fashioned way could expand on the process... as it seems unlikely that P2K Menu Editor is going to be updated to work correctly on the newer phones.

If anyone has any info, or can remember of any old school modders point them towards the above/below link...
