Jimmy,

My searches haven't turned up anything definitive, but I HAVE seen some mention of the date being held in file S000 in the NK.EXE module. I cannot examine this possibility right now, but maybe I'll have time when I get home tonight.

In the meantime, I would love it if somebody could post a definitive method that works for WM6 devices. It sure would be nice if, when I flash a new ROM, I didn't need to bounce forward 8 months to set the time in initial setup :D

Correct! :)

Correct! :)Thanks Assassin ... but, checking my ROM dump, it seems my base ROM does not contain a module named NK.EXE. Instead, I have an actual file by the name of NK.EXE in my XIP folder. Thus, there aren't any "S00?" files to work with.

Does anybody know of any other place I might be able to change this ROM's date?

TIA,

Weird, I used a binary editor, found the date string inside of NK.EXE, and successfully changed it. I cooked the newer version of NK.EXE into the ROM, and ... the ROMDate was still the same. :( Sheesh! It would seem there should be SOME way to change this thing.

Can anyone please give some other suggestions?

Thanks again,
