Question about patching |

Ok, so I've been messing around with this old W810, applying patches and such, when I noticed something.
I applied a patch that changed the color of the battery-indicator, and later changed the color of the signal-indicator.
Then I changed simcard, and now the signal-indicator color is back to normal.
Changed simcard back again, and now signal-indicator is the color I patched.
What am I missing? Does all patches has to be applied right after a firmware flash? |

First time I hear this. Patches are applied to the main and when you flash the MAIN or update the phone using SEUS the patch goes away.

Well, good to hear those reactions. Nevertheless, it's what's happening here. |

Its unbelievable.  The patch is applied to main. It has nothing to do with simcard. I have around 12 patches and many elfs running at a time on my K850i. When i change my sim card, nothing disappears, though i have no gfx patch for battery and signal icon.

Yes it is very weird indeed.
Also, when I try to apply additional patches now (using SEToolLite) I'm told that some values differ, and I'm asked if I want to continue or not.
Any ideas? |

Yes. You have no idea what you are doing.

Remove and reinsert battery. Select the VPK file, and click Write Script. Then insert cable while holding C. Let it do the stuff. Unplug, remove and reinsert battery when told. Click Ready button and reconnect holding C. Let it finish.
It doesn't look that complicated to me, and I've had no trouble with other patches. But if you're that clever, then enlighten me. Can you tell me what in that above process I'm doing wrong, or are you just being the typical kiddie smartass? |

Here is a video where you can see the signal-indicator color change depending on simcard. The video is blurry, but should be sharp enough for you to be able to see the difference.

I agree that this really shouldn't happen, but it does. So can anyone explain it?

That's weird, when you insert the simcard and the battery icons return to normal, are the files still there when you connect it to A2uploader?

Don't know what you mean by that. I didn't think I could see which patch-files I had applied.
I'm not using A2Upload, but SETool2Lite.
When trying to apply other patches now, I almost always get the "Some patch values differs, continue?" message. This happens also when trying to apply the signal-indicator color change patch. Just weird.
Anyway. A side question. When searching for patches at 4shared, mostly patches for older phones are found. Are there no such patches available for e.g. W995 or Aino anywhere? |

Don't get smart with me. I have more experience in phone modding than you'll ever have.
You are doing the process correctly but what you are saying is ludicrous. Patches are applied to the main firmware and simply changing the sim card WILL NOT AFFECT THAT FIRMWARE so you get the original icons back.

Explain the video then. Should be easy for a superior modder like you. |

Come on, Lou. Boysie is a great guy when it comes to SE modding. No need to act like that.

Act like what? Interpret his useless reply "You don't know what you're doing" as a completely unnecessary comment without any value at all? That kind of reply is a kiddie smartass "I'm better than you" reply. Plain'n'simple. |
