I've been trying some of the hacks posted for the Blackjack 2 but I'm unable to perform the ones that require overwriting .exe's in the Windows folder. When I try to do that I get this error: "You do not have permission to change this item." My device is app unlocked so I don't know understand why this happens.

It seems the .exe's in question are readonly and I assume that's part of the problem. But when I change this attribute the file immediately reverts back to being readonly.

I've seen lots of complaints about this error message on the web but no one has a fix that actually works. One recommendation I've seen is to copy the new file to a temporary location, then perform the copy/overwrite using File Explorer on the mobile device. But that still results in a similar permissions error.

Any ideas? Please help!

Are you SURE your device is App unlocked? Go here: <http://www.i607.org/wiki/doku.php?id=application_unlock> and download the file. Also, I use CE Total Commander <http://www.ghisler.com/smartphone.htm> to edit everything, it works awesomely. haha, hope this helps!

From what I've read on some threads, namely the reassigning the CV and ATT icon buttons, you can't do this from a Vista PC. I certainly can't. And even though unlocked, the phone won't allow me to either. If you aren't trying it from a Vista PC, then I don't know what to say. For myself, I have not had the opportunity to try an XP machine yet to test the difference.

Thanks for the help but so far, no good.

hagie92 - My phone is definitely app unlocked. Just to be sure I even tried the app unlocker at the link you gave and restarted the phone, but still can't overwrite those .exe's. I also tried Total Commander but it didn't help at all -- I still can't move or delete the .exe's, and the readonly attribute still reverts back to true every time.

ascian - My computer does have Vista but I have these problems even when I'm working with the device's OS (disconnected from any computer). I'll give it a try from an XP machine but I doubt that will help any.


Still looking for an answer on this one...

It turned out that Vista was my problem. I tried these steps from an XP computer and they worked.

Yes, vista didnt let me do any of this either, I just copied the hacks to my phone, and then used total commander to move them. I'm glad you got it working!
