I just need to mention that when I hear the vibration my screen stay off, I can't even see if my phone is in charging mode
Can you provide Hardware ID of device detected by PC?
(Computer management > Right click on the device > Properties > Details tab > Property: Hardware Ids; post Value here)

Are you able to detach the battery?
If you are, before turning the power button press and hold volume down and then attach to USB cable. It should show different device. And you should be able to flash it (Either with WPInternals or WDRT).

//edit:
Retry the procedure several times with and without battery. At some point it should be in DLOAD mode.

My bad, the battery should be reattached, but to tell you the truth, I flashed (via USB) one Lumia 1020 that didn't had battery inside.

Yes. But did you try keeping it connected for an hour? There are multiple emergency charging modes. And usually USB input device means some charging mode.

All drivers are installed properly?
WPInternals should be running and waiting for the phone to be connected.
yeah everything installed

Would you please explain how it changes modes by sitting for a length of time? Very interesting

My reply is a bit off-topic, but for future info it's usually the battery that's getting hot, not the phone itself.

That's not what i meant. There are many boot stages: PBL, SBL, UEFI, OS. Every stage has it own implementation of emergency charging. When the phone is still in an early boot stage, it might not even have a display-driver loaded. And charging will be done without showing anything. I just meant that when you charge by connecting to PC, charging is very slow. So you need to give it some time to properly charge (if that actually works).

Checksum seems okay. I will try to reproduce the problem.
I tried this:
- Patch file
- Recalculate checkum
- Replace file

My phone still boots normally. So that means that the integrity-checks are properly disabled.

Either your icon-editor screws things up. Or you screwed up the Access Control List of the file (File properties -> Security -> SYSTEM and ALLAPPPACKAGES must have access to the file).

so exactly what i did was copied the UI.dll to my pc, used restorator to change the icons inside and saved it. then i use the 3rd party file explorer with the command writen in WPinternal to use it as admin mode and replaced the original one.

So how could this happened? The original and modded one are in the attachments. Maybe my icon-editor screws it up.

A Lumia 950 should be arranged soon, probably.
The Lumia 950 uses a Snapdragon 808 while the Lumia 640 XL uses a Snapdragon 400. Does that mean that there is a good chance that the 640 XL will be supported soon too, or are they completely different beasts?
