    Default Problem installing custom carrier logo...could uninstalled Make it Mine be the issue?

    What's up all. I am trying to install a custom carrier logo on my 3G running 2.1 using XP (if any of that matters) and I cannot seem to get it to work. I've been reading lots of guides and double checking my work so I don't think I'm making any errors.

    /Library/Themes/(theme name)/Bundles/com.apple.ATT_US

    in which I placed my custom logos named: FSO_CARRIER_ATT.png & Default_CARRIER_ATT.png

    Selected the theme in WB, rebooted and nothing, still AT&T. What makes me think Make it Mine had something to do with this is the fact that when I was using it, the instructions stated that if I kept the field blank (where you type in what carrier or banner name you want) and hit "carrier" it would restore my stock AT&T logo. That never happened, instead I had to manually type "AT&T" to get it back to normal.

    Is it possible, even though I have uninstalled MIM, that it is preventing me from installing my own custom carrier logos? If so does anyone have any suggestions on how I would go about fixing this? I tried installing a different set of carrier logos and that didn't work either, so it isn't the files I'm using. I'd appreciate any help or advice, thanks a lot.

    I had an issue with that....but it came from Winterboard.

    I ended up just SSHing the 2 files and directly overwriting the original ones on the phone. Worked perfect after that.

    Could you please provide the pathway to those files? I was trying to avoid editing any default files but I suppose I could just back them up and install my own. I would still like to understand why this doesn't work if anyone else can provide some insight. Thanks

    Edit: I found the folder /System/Library/Carrier Bundles/ATT_US.bundle but I am not sure which files to swap as there are are two sets Default_CARRIER_ATT.png, FSO_CARRIER_ATT.png and Default_CARRIER_CINGULAR.png, FSO_CARRIER_CINGULAR.png. Just swap the att ones?

    Also, when I copied the files to my desktop to view if these were the right files, it says that no preview is available. Is that normal or is this a sign that something is wrong? Any information would be helpful, thank you.

    ^^You wont be able to view the default files because they are formatted by Apple.

    Ok, so I replaced the default files with my own and still nothing. My carrier is still showing the default "AT&T" text. Is it possible Make it Mine created some type of fake carrier image that I need to manually delete? I just don't understand since I figured changing the actual default files would have to result in some sort of change.

    Absolutely, any ideas?

    Finally figured it out. I reinstalled MIM and got it to restore the default carrier logo. After that everything went smoothly.

    ^^Ahhh, it must have been redirecting the logo from another lo-cal.
