Error trying to flash modded LP

[Danation]

Ok, this one has me confused.

I'm trying to follow the guide to change a menu item. It tells me to get a langpack (I just downloaded the one from my phone.) Then it instructs me how to change it.

Now.... when I try to flash it back to the phone (both with F&B3 and RSD Lite) I get "Critical Error FEBE 0035." So, I'm thinking "Well, maybe I just can't load LPs that way." So I try flashing my backed up LP and it works.

So clearly it has something to do with the modification of the LP.... but I only changed like one word. So I don't get it. Maybe SHXCodec isn't saving it correctly?

I did a forum search and most of the results for the error "Critical Error FEBE 0035" are people who don't have an up-to-date version of F&B3. I have 3.0.7. Plus, I would have errors flashing my backup LP if it was a F&B problem. So it's not that.

Anybody have any ideas?

What are you changing specificaly? Show/direct me to the guide please.

[Danation]

I'm just changing the text of the menu items. Here's the guide I'm following: http://modmymoto.com/wiki/index.php/Razr_v3_customize_menu

He's changing his phonebook to "Adam's Peeps." I thought for my first try I'd change the phonebook as well (to "Contacts") since it has worked for somebody in the past.

My first try I changed EVERY instance of the word "Phonebook" to "Contacts" (there were dozens of entries.) And it didn't work. So then I tried just the main ones that only said "Phonebook." That didn't work. Then I started to think that changing anything at all would screw it up. So I made a couple small changes and it didn't work either.

As I said, I'm SURE my F&B3 is fine. I loaded my backup LP successfully. I think the problem may be somewhere in the .shx encoding. I'll see if there's a newer version of SHXCodec in the morning in case that's the issue. But that would surprise me. Everything I did followed the guide exactly (meaning I did everything it said to do, and everything looked like he said it would look.)

[modnmotos]

lol (not at you the guide, whew, that looks like alot to chew on or am I just to tired to understand it... I admit...This is my addiction.... cant break away...for sleep...LOL) Anyway I changed mine in p2ktools real easy that looks way to complicated and involved if at some point you need a smoke, drink, and strech. Also here again this is why we need a V3re forum thats for v3 maybe it doesnt work for us. Keep trying and we can post that in our new forum as well.( if it works or not) Excited about the prospect!

[Danation]

Well, the LP extracted correctly, and I was able to flash the backup back on, so I don't think it's a problem with the v3re. My guess is that it's a problem with SHXCodec. I still haven't had a chance to look for an updated version.

[modnmotos]

Did you change the font?

[Danation]

The only thing I changed was one value in the LP. No fonts or anything.

Did you guys solved the problem?
I get the same error when I try to flash back to my V3re (BL= 0C.F4; SW= R3442A_G_OE.43.OAR) the LP with Italian language added.
I got the Italian language from a V3, and do not understand if the problem is in either the sourse of the LP or the encoder (I'm using Shx codec ver. 2.66), because when I flash my backed LP everything goes smooth.
Can anybody help?
Thanks and CIAO from Italy!

[modnmotos]

I don't think the problem was ever resolved, and I know the v3r and v3re look the same but I don't believe the LP are interchangable. They have different s/w. Someone correct me if Im wrong. To be honest I think we just moved on. I was having problems using SHXCodec, but recently found out how to correct the issues, but havent corrected them and verified that SHXCodec works correctly yet.

Also Danation runs Vista and I think he had success with a program called SBF Relec(I think), so that might be worth a try, but don't know if he tried it, or if it works with this issue.

try moto lang editor or dnp.prf

[Danation]

Hey, friends, I did find the answer :) I just forgot to post.

I have no idea about the compatability of LPs, but here's the solution I found about my problem:

I'm pretty sure the problem was unrelated to phone type or operating system. I think it was a checksum error. So....

Put the .shx or .sbf in a folder by itself. Split the file apart with SBF Recalc.

Mod the LP with Moto Lang Editor as SocaSlvr suggested. Then save it.

With SBF Recalc, click "Open CG Folder" and find the folder with the files. Then, here's the important part, click "ReCalc Checksum". Finally, click "Create SHX-File" or "Create SBF-File" and flash it to your phone.

If your problem was indeed the same one as mine, this will solve it.

My hat is off to the good people of www.mmus.us for teaching me how to do that.

[SocaSlvr]

yeah you should always recalculate checksums after editing lp's drm etc

[Danation]

Can you recalculate checksums with SHXCodec?

[SocaSlvr]

nope

[Danation]

SBF Recalc is the thing to use then. Cool beans.

[modnmotos]

Thanks guys for clearing that up! Can LP's be used on different phone models?

[GMC]

Thanks to all of you.
In the next days I'm gonna try and I'll let you know if I succeed...

Thanks guys for clearing that up! Can LP's be used on different phone models?

Thanks to the instruction herein (Danation and SocaSlvr) I could add Italian LP (including iTAP) derived from an italian V3 CG4 to my daughter's AT&T V3re CG4 and it works.
I don't know for other models.
Ciao!

[modnmotos]

No problem thats what the v3re team is for. Thanks its good to know that LP's are interchangable (atleast from v3 anyways)

[Dumba]

As far as I get this, you still have to port it from one model to another.

[Danation]

Yeah, they aren't interchangeable, you have to port it. But yes, you can get it to work.

[modnmotos]

Didnt he say he extracted from a cg4 then put on his phone? Whats porting? How do you do it? Where did he say he ported it? Am I missing something guys? Thanks.

[Danation]

derived from an italian V3 CG4 to...V3re CG4 and it works

@modnmotos: You take the specific language out of the LP and put it into the other LP. Here's a link to a guide Clarkey showed me: http://my.opera.com/kirklestat/blog/show.dml/634521

http://modmymoto.com/wiki/index.php/Razr_v3_Adding_or_Removing_languages this used to be my bible, but Kirks is even more to the point. Its all in the v3 guides under advanced modding.

n00b :D

[Danation]

Uh.... what?
