i finally tried out the hack but my background pictures are only filling the upper left corner of the screen. my images are under 35k and at 640x480x24b. what gives?

a tip for you put the org on there then you can try but make you image size based on inches i think cause this was my problem so maybe you can try this

yeah, it looks like my images arnt saved properly. they definitely arent progressive. i saved them using baseline standard in photoshop. i used someone elses image that i grabbed off of one of the threads.



edit ...

cool, i used another program (acdsee) to save my jpgs and they turned out this time. pics need to be saved baseline optimized.

Anyone familiar w/ the wong kar wai film "in the mood for love"?

Ive posted before about trying the hack and killing my 500. i tried disconnecting the batterie, that didn't work. so now i think i may try sending it in to Olympus and seeing if they can fix it. good idea? bad idea?

send it in, might aswell. and does anyone know how to edit the "FirmUp.exe"? like NewbieHunterZ did? cause i wanna put my own backgrounds in it, and be able to just double click it and it will flash my firmware

i've made a black skin with pictures of rapper and so on...

i think it looks very good

i will post a link that anybody can download it

PS: i post the .bin file with firmware installer(exploited firmware)

here's the link...

its a black skin...

in the play and search screen are rappers but if you dont like that you can change this...

the other pics look like the original m:robe pics but they are black

ahhh noooooooo!!!!
i just pwned my robe hardcore..
oh wow this sucks..umm...
SYSTEM ERROR
ERROR CODE : 07EF001F
PLEASE PUSH A POWER SWITCH

my warranty just expired..like a couple weeks ago so sending it in is not an option..
help?!

(this is in this thread because it relates to this old school firmware hack..[somehow it killed my robe even though i've done this numerous times..must have been a corrupt file that i updated with..])

try to reinstall the firware(the non-hacked version) ur 500i if nuthin work reformat ur 500i then reinstall the original firware. and then do a blink sync.

i have this problem too when i mess with it too much.

if reformattin dont work i think ur hd is dead or sumthin.

yea i'll probably have to get an hd adapter cause my robe doesnt get past the splash screen..cause right after that it goes into error mode.

not good..

that's tough, real tough. Maybe cradle power got interrupted or usb link got interrupted or something.

worth a shot to nothing...

just as it's on splash screen, JUST before it goes to error screen, press on/off switch to put it on hold...Then if it stays there...try the remote's heart+mode+play reset method.....?

jamelikat

thats a good idea
i'll try that..
thanks jamelikat

EDIT* alright, didn't work. I was using the remote and flicking the hold button repeatedly and i used the mrobe hold button too, it just doesnt go into hold.
so looks like the only way for me is to get a new hd or an adapter and format it..bums...
