6+ Hidden Menus DARE (VX-9700)

[crex65439]

i found a new menu ##service (##7378423)

hit send

good ol motor test trick is on there

[vietnight]

It have the following:

LCD Test
Motor Test
Audio Test
MIDI Test
Main LCD Brightness (only see bar when you enter)
Sub LCD Brightness
Motor Aging Test
Speaker Aging Test
Camera Aging Test

[plnkeye21]

other than viewing these settings is there anything you can change in these menus? I would love to be able to change the LCD brightness. Is there a way to change it in these menus?

PS. not to be a stickler, it's really hard to understand what most of these instructions do because of the spelling mistakes and grammatical errors. Not trying to sound like a jerk, I'm just having a hard time understanding what some of the instructions are saying.

spelling mistakes and grammatical errors? you should go complain whoever add it in the phone.

this is not a instructions i write down exactly what showing on the phone when you type in ##7378423, and i only go in Main LCD Brightness, Sub LCD Brightness which is nothing special but one bar that you can not change.

the Hidden Program Menu (Services)

c. Service code  000000

8.) W2bI – TEST SETTING
a. W2BI Setting Disable (Check this to make sure “ touch to unlock” is visible)
b. W2BI Setting Enable (by having this selected it will remove the spot where it says “ touch to unlock”)

there is hope, plug the phone in to see if it stops rebooting, it does great, you can access the file system and hopefully someone can point out what file has that setting so you can revert it back or maybe someone can provide you a back up.

if it keeps rebooting, try letting the battery drain out then plug it in to pc. this setting might even be in NV Edit so you can change it back

thanks 4 the support

I can see the file structure in bitpim & on ocasiobn the main screan does pop up but its frozen so I cant acess the dial pad or any thing

but as I scrolled thru them I didnt see any thing that was dated as changed yesterday??
ecxept for some txt's & pics

heck ill backup all the files if I need too
i would rather loose pix n stuff than the whole phone

im takin it in this weekend mayby verizon can do a totakl restore at the store

and if that doesent work & some one does have the whole oem file structure backed up, I wouild greatly appreciate a copy.. you can send it to
lancemagana@hotmail.com

thanks again
lance


EDIT
Oh & what is NV edit?? if you dont mind
thanks

[tonycortes]

a verizon full reflash will work. NV edit is a function in the LG Download program. it allows you to edit NV items, which the setting you edited may have been.

It's likely the setting you changed is stored in either filedb or in the nv items

Change your Verizon Wireless “ERI” Banner:
Verizon Wireless to “anything you want”

1.) You will need two programs:
a.) Bitpim & b.) Hex editor
Example to get a basic hex editor search in Google for: XVI32
Download and install your new Hex Editor program
2.) Open up Bitpim and view File system find folder “ERI”
3.) Save the eri.bin some place on your pc
4.) Open Your Hex editor
5.) On the left hand side you will see numbers on your right you will see letters
Change the letters Verizon wireless to anything you would like it to say example My Wireless
7.) Save or overwrite new eri.bin to phone using bitpim
8.) Reset the Phone and enjoy your new ERI Banner

Thanks for the ERI banner info SKY!

I haven't tried it yet (too chicken... just got my phone). One thing I did notice is that the character strings in the eri.bin file are Pascal type, so if you do edit them and they're a different length than the original, you'll have to change the length byte as well.

Strings shorter or of equal length to the original should be OK, but I wouldn't add any that are *longer* than the original or you may be asking for trouble!!

Cheers!!!

Will the new V5 SW update have any effect on this? (Specially the "free" stuff)

What sort of "free" stuff?

[bastilleday]

my question of the moment is about the 'shortcut bin' on the touch screen.... is there anything within service mode or menus that will allow me to relocate the icon to one of the other sides...???
