[Q] What is a status 6 when installing a rom - Samsung Infuse 4G

When I tried to install a rom I got a status 6 error. What is that? Can someone explain?

I believe it means the update-script is not valid. Did you modify it with wordpad or notepad in Windows?
Download notepad++ to edit update-scripts, and use an original unmodified one to start with, since the one you have now is already corrupt if you used wordpad.

How do I sign a .DLL file???

Ok , I am trying to resign my phcanBmp.dll file to have my own images. I have used ResHack in order to change the file and make a new one but I know you need to sign the file in order for it to work...
So I have downloaded the latest BuildOS+Package 4.2b3 and it has a signapp.exe.... Problem is I cant find any information on how to use it??? I have searched google and located a sign and timestamp dll files but I am not sure if this will work with mobile applications.
Please help

ResHack will cause a dll or exe locked to sign if u edit it heavily.
Use Heaventools Resource Editor or PE Explorer instead
I bought Resource Editor and there is no way to sign the file....It shows when I edit only 6 bitmap files it says the file is no longer signed or trusted...is there a way around this

i attached the program i used to sign the htchome.dll file I patched. Do the following:
1) Put the file in the same folder as the program.
2) Go into command prompt and navigate to the folder which contains the the file (in my case C:\Documents and Settings\ScottE\Desktop\Programs\ATT Tilt\Programs\SignCode\SignCode)
3) Type "sign filename" which in my case was: sign htchome.dll
Then it should give you a message that the file was signed.
I just added a screenshot
you can also use sign tool from Microsoft SDK 2008
i tought he cannot sign the file after edit it. silly me there is also multisign tool floating in this forum based on SDK but with easy GUI.

Xml read error

Well, not Sure if the past should be here, I think so.
*I was tinkering with a rom (Ledro id for desire), and wanted to take a look at the xml, in such framework-res.apk, but that open from the pc, I get: hexadecimal value 0x03 is an invalid character (with xml notepad). I still open it but it is unintelligible.
What are apk's trying to open with java (do not know if I have what it takes to open them) and that makes me: failed to load main-class manifest attribute ....
I just want to tweak a little, have if I learn slowly.
Sorry for my english I am from spain

XML files in apks are compiled to binary form, so you can't open them directly. You have to use some decoding tool: apktool (in my signature), Apk Manager (a wrapper around apktool) or AXMLPrinter2 (older and less powerful tool: can't rebuild XML and only partial info is decoded).
And no, you can't run apk files using Java on your PC.

Cant figure out how to change Sprint banner

I dont know how to use CDMA workshop or Hex edit, but I really want to change my Sprint banner. Is there a way to do this using terminal emulator?
No, but a hex editor is pretty self explanatory imo.
If only I had your level of skill and intelligence. I could not even get past step 1. I download the file. The instructions say to remove the .txt extension, but when I download it, it is already in .xml but it is a .txt document, and I cant figure out how to change it.

goto your folder options in windows and uncheck "hide extensions for known file types".. then you can see the .txt extension in windows
http://www.wikihow.com/Disable-Hidden-File-Extensions-in-Windows-XP Same instructions for XP, Vista, 7
Otherwise CDMA workshop is on isohunt.com if you search for it. Get the cracked version. It will report a false positive with most anti-virus.. no virus though.
Editing now. Never tried to use adb, lets see if I can conquer that...
After I put in the modified version of the .xml how do I 'close the file', or put the framework-res folders contents back into the .apk since I unzipped it. Or do I just push the .apk and leave the extracted folder alone?
Nvm, got it.

Assuming this means you got it working? Best bet, for future reference, for help with a specific mod, is to try and post in that particular thread. I know the guy who did the hex edit approach, and he's pretty willing to help .

That would have been perfect if the program you built worked. Thank you very much but I am going to have to seek another solution. Every time I try to use the IsoStoreSpy, the software crashes.
UPDATE
@contable and when I try your method, the application deployment program tells me the XAP is invalid.

My .xap file is working well on chevron unlocked devices, so it should also work on developer unlocked devices.
I can deploy the file with the official deployment tool or WPV xap deployer 1.5.
When I unzip the XAP and change any of the XML files is when it decides the XAP file is invalid. I can upload the original file.

I have changed the xml files inside the xap 1000 times.
Did you change the file extension from .xap to .zip before unzipping ?
Here are the steps
1. Unzip files after renaming extension to .zip
2. Update XML
3. Rezip files with 7zip
4. Rename file extension to .xap

I use Winrar not 7zip...
Sent from my OMNIA7 using XDA Windows Phone 7 App
same result using winrar compression
is there another way to deploy apps?
Anyone have any suggestions?
Are you on Mango or NoDo? If Mango you have to do some reg edits when you get to Mango or you can't side load unsigned apps (I think; I could be wrong).
I was trying to be able to do what is described in my first post of this thread. Those tweaks can be applied and carried into Mango, I am currently on NoDo. About to give up though

[Q] Recmod and Reversmode not working

I am using a couple of really old programs called recmod and reversmod and I am having trouble getting them to work. When I use the recmod tool, I do get a .dll file out of it, but the file is always 1kb and if I open a bunch of them in hex edit, they are nearly identical and each mentions that "this file cannot be run in DOS mode". Other than that, the rest of the file is almost entirely zeroes, so the code is null. Also the reversmode crashes when I try to use it on the .dll files I created, most likely because the files are busted.
In this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1251237 OndraSter mentions something about recmod/reversmode using type 5 and 7 instead of just type 3. I don't really know what to make of this and Google leads me only to things that don't pertain to recmod at all.
Does anyone know how to make recmod work nowadays? Thanks in advance for any help provided!

Yeah, that's the thread that first got me into the recmod tool. Great thread, just out of date. /:
Thanks for the reply though.
This may help
This may help someone help me a little. When I use recmod through the command line, I get an error saying "Error! ProcessCase0: bit 5 is zero!"
and this is the .dll file that I get out of it:
View attachment a.zip
I renamed the file name to a so it would be shorter to type because I was trying a lot of different command prompt things. It was originally k.senscmdd.dll, not that it really matters. All of the modules I tried came out almost exactly like this.
