What exactly are the lines you changed (as in post the code snippets for your changes).

chainparams.cpp, CMainParam part, line number 133~135

base58Prefixes[PUBKEY_ADDRESS] = std::vector(1,33);
base58Prefixes[SCRIPT_ADDRESS] = std::vector(1,33);
base58Prefixes[SCRIPT_ADDRESS2] = std::vector(1,33);

Are you sure that the addresses you are getting are P2SH addresses? The default used to be P2PKH, and unless you are modifying the latest code, that's all you are going to get. P2PKH prefixes are not governed by the prefix corresponding to SCRIPT_ADDRESS.

If you don't know what those mean, then you need to do more research.

I know p2sh, p2pkh, so how to change '3' to another character? I have changed all 5 value of prefix to 33 which is for 'E', but not worked.

I revised base58Prefixes[SCRIPT_ADDRESS1, 2] = std::vector(1, 33) at source file, chainparams.cpp,

and compiled with [make, make install],

but when I run xxxcoin-qt, and address checked, it doesn't changed at all, why?
