hmm.. Well, am just new to Android.. I have done a lot of modding with some Sony Ericsson's. Not sure, if you are aware of se-nse forums.

But, yes never tried hardware modding. hence the elaboration required. :)
[HTC Desire S] adridu59:
Hey :)

I am interested about that but I don't speak english very well and cannot understand all what you wrote... :(

Is there anyway you can make a video ? :D
[HTC Desire S] markatmgpc:
Just try carefully taking off the three buttons and all will become clear. You can do this without damaging the unit and if you decide against doing the mod just put the buttons back on, no harm done.

There is a small printed circuit board held in with soft glue, a bit of prying will get it out and on the reverse you will be able to see the headphone leads.

Desolder the leads, taking note of right, left and polarity. Prepare your female 3.5mm by first passing the end through the hole in the housing, then stripping just enough cable to allow re-soldering, you may need to double up the shield side to both right and left.

Once this is done you can check correct operation before reassembly which is the reverse of dismantling.

When attaching the buttons remember to point the arrow on the centre play/pause/answer button in the direction of the FF side.

pretty much what i didwith the terrible headphones back in the days with my g1/adp. check for cheap extension leads, the have nice connectors sometimes - looks better then the usual self-soldier screw ones.

HTC RC E160 / Creative EP 630 Zombie Headphones - sounds good!

Thanks for the inspiration.

As one can get the HTC RC E160 really cheap (EUR 4,50), I ordered two and gave it a try. In contrast to the OP, I did not manage to make proper connections to the small printed circuit - glue all over, and everything much too tiny for my soldering skills...

I found it much easier to just swap the speaker capsules with an old EP 630 (which had a broken cable, my family's standard earphone). Both the HTC's and the Creative's capsules open really easy, and you already have stripped, tinned wires and nice (not so tiny) soldering pads.

Just be careful when pulling out the cables and don't forget to re-add the knots before soldering.

[HTC Desire S] blindndumb:
How about making a video ? :rolleyes::rolleyes:

Yes, Please make a video for this hack, I hope then our doubt will be clear;);)
[HTC Desire S] hkramski:
Sorry, I don't have the parts to repeat all steps in a video.

But I opened it again for you and took another picture. Please note the black cable in an otherwise white body my doubtful readers...

These are the exact steps:

On the EP 630 side:

Pry the metal ring loose carfully using a knife and remove it.

Now you can pull out the sound driver easily.

Unsolder, cut and remove the cables.

On the HTC side:

Deform the earplug gently until the metal capsule pops out (I used a 200g hammer - we are only interested in the cables!)

Pull out the cable some centimeters using a tweezer (don't just pull on the metal capsule or the solder joints will break).

Unsolder the cables.

Unknot the cables and pull them out.

Guide them trough the tube of the EP 630 body.

Knot them again.

Solder them to the pads on the EP 630 driver. (Be sure not to cross polarity on your left and right ear which will probably sound bad. There seems to by a red color code near the "plus" pad. Connect the solid green or solid red wire here. The other one - solid nothing or striped green - seems to be ground.

Re-assemble the plugs (the metal ring holds everything in place).

Regards,

Heinz

Neat trick, Very useful considering the lack of choice of 3 button Android compatible headphones. Do you know if this reduces the quality of sound in mid range headphones?
[HTC Desire S] evilrussian800:
Thanks

From Russia with love by my HTC Desire S
[HTC Desire S] Valwit:
depends how you do it :) if properly, then there will be no quality reduction, regardless of the range of headphones. there's really little you can do wrong.
[HTC Desire S] pellatarte:
Nicely done :)
[HTC Desire S] danutHD:
I was thinking of buying some new headphones, but then I saw this post. I was lucky to have some old Sennheiser CX 300 headphones in a drawer. I have opened up both headphones, changed wires and played some music. I have now some Sennheiser, HTC compatible, hands-free. :D

Thank you for the idea. I did not think of taking pictures, but if anyone needs help, please do not hesitate to contact me and I will try and offer more details. I have attached some pictures of the result.
[HTC Desire S] ckmurbano:
Thanks for the advice.
[HTC Desire S] suku_patel_22:
How did you open the sennheiser. Earpieces?

Swyped from my HTC Desire S
[HTC Desire S] danutHD:
It is quite simple actualy.

1. Remove the rubber parts that go inside the ear.

2. Remove he silver parts. You can swype your fingernails around hem and they will pop out.

3. As the silver parts are the only thing that keeps the headphones togheter, your should now have access to the wires.

4. The rest is just unsoldering the old wires and solder back the new ones.

If i did not make myself understood i shall try to open one my headphones again and take pictures.
[HTC Desire S] suku_patel_22:
How is the quality and volume? Considering that sennheiser hada volume rocket, how is three volume on this....

Swyped from my HTC Desire S
[HTC Desire S] Juppehup:
Wow, just what I was looking for, thanks!
[HTC Desire S] dan-fish:
Yeah also the cx-300's have some decent wire unlike the HTC headphones!
[HTC Desire S] danutHD:
The volume is a bit higher than the original headphones. What I like most is that sound is far more clear now than it used to be and that the headphones are more confortable.

I for one want some headphones that can cover the noise on the subway and with this tweak I can listen to music quite well in the subway, but still, listening to audiobooks is a bit tricky. I did not root my phone yet so I do not know if I can tweak anything to the sound so as to make audiobooks more listenable.
[HTC Desire S] yas87:
Hi guys, i got these earphones as gift from a friend (not pink :P), are sony, and have mic built in aswell a button, but don't woth with my htc desire s. I checked around but fuond out that they work only with the galaxy s (1), then i tryed on a nokia, all worked well... do you have any idea on how is the htc schemantics for earphones?

When i write that these don't work i mean that the sound is really really low, and some frequences are cutted off (human voice) but if i take the unique button pushed down sound is good.

Built-in microphone don't work every thing i do.

If i short circuit 2 points that connect button for sure, but i think the microphone aswell sound work good as you can imagine.

Any idea?

Apologize for my bad english :)
[HTC Desire S] maxlieb:
Found someone who sells those

Did use this hack till headphones died

(my soldering quality was not good enough because it

kept disconnecting and had to re-solder it a few times

and the last time It killed the headphone)

then I found this on ebay... thought you would be interested:)

[General Questions and Answers] erezinna:
to lee droid hello.

i am a "silent admirer". i have a rooted desire and i use only leedroid roms for more then a year. as always i never had any problems with any of the roms and install them all without wipe at all.

about a month ago i installes v. 2.3.

today i saw the thread about the new version 3.0 gb and downloaded the following files: 1. 3.0 gb leedroid rom.

2. the new radio ...56....

3. the ext3 file.

after downloading i checked the md5 of the first two files and found it OK.

i backed up my 16 gb sd and tried to install the 3.0 tom via rom manager.

the thing is that i believe that the rom was install OK but the rom did not go up and my desire got stuck with the dumb green "htc".

thereafter i restored the system which went well and tried again - this time with file and cach wipe.

again - all seems to go well but did not load.

tried to install the ext3 file - went ok but did not load.

from that moment i got really worried but nothing i tried (deleating the sd card and copying from backup) or thought i know didnt work and now i am the proud owner of stupid green "htc" screen.

please help

erezinna

p.s. i couldt read all the 53 pages of your thread so if anybody already got an answer - please send me there.
[General Questions and Answers] Larkspeed:
I had this same issue.

It seems that although I originally partitioned my SD card as ext3 at some point without me knowing the partition got changed to ext4 I really can't explain how as I never messed with partitions after I initially set them up.

if the EXT3 fix is not working for you try booting into gparted and checking the partition there. as soon as I did that and realized it had been changed to ext4 I deleted the partition and made a new ext3 patition and it worked flawlessly after that.
[General Questions and Answers] erezinna:
"try booting into gparted and checking the partition there"

where? when? who?

can you you be more gentle? i booted milion times and never heard of "gpart" (it is a secret socaity)?
[General Questions and Answers] Larkspeed:
it's a live cd that you boot into on your PC to partition the SD card with a ext3 partition.

just google gparted live cd

You need to verify that the second partition on your sd card is in fact ext3 or leedriod will not load
[General Questions and Answers] erezinna:
i have to burn it or ghost-burn it or just download it and transfer to my desire?
[General Questions and Answers] Larkspeed:
like i said in my previous post you need to boot into on your PC.

I have to ask how did you originaly partition your SD card?
[General Questions and Answers] erezinna:
dear larkspeed:

i did all you have suggested but the gparted (or the regular win 7) was unable to recognize the sd card at all.

i did recognize all the other harddisks on my computer. it is probably because of the ext4 and now i cannot delete it. (also i hardly can operate the phone - only basic functions).

what sould i do now?
[General Questions and Answers] Larkspeed:
Windows will not see ext4 at all but it will see the partition itself so you can delete and remake it.

Gparted should have seen it just fine and let you reformat it to ext3

However if neither windows or gparted can see the partitions on the card then it's very possible the card itself has a fault.

Stupid question but when you loaded gparted you did use the drop down in the upper right corner of the window to actually select your sd card right?

if not then you were looking at primary hard drive only
[General Questions and Answers] erezinna:
yes i did several times. you have to move with "tab" and keboard because the mouse does not work there.

if the sd card have a fault, should i format it or erase it totally or something?
[General Questions and Answers] Larkspeed:
if you are totaly sure you have a ext partition on that card you will need to delete that partition either with windows **** manager or gparted

if you just format the card it will only format the partition it can see which will be the fat32 partition.

Now I assume you are putting the micro sd into some kind of adapter to plug it into the PC.

Now I have 2 options for this a USB stick that the micro sd plugs into or a micro sd to sd adapter plugged into an internal card reader which plugs into a USB header on my motherboard.

both of these systems work fine for me.

if gparted is not seeing the card at all then I would think whatever system you are using to plug the card into your PC is not supported.

I have to ask when you plug the card in when in windows what size does it say the "removable drive" is?
[General Questions and Answers] erezinna:
1. i gparted the sd card into main fat 32 partition about 12 gb and 1.6 gb ext3 partition

2. i cloesd the program after compleating that and the device informed me that the sd card is damaged and needs formating

3. i formated it and moved the leedroid 3.0.

4. it refused to go into recovery because lacking .update.zip file so i copied that too.

5. i installed the 3.0 but i won't go.

6. what to do? give it up?
[General Questions and Answers] Larkspeed:
all I can suggest is to try a different SD card and see if it works then.
[Android Software Development] kenneth11414:
Now that i am a proud owner of a rooted mytouch 4g, the possibilities are endless.

There are a few things i wish to know though

1: I have Gingerbread 2.2.3 on the phone, but theres no mail, message, and other widgets that i liked when i had the stock rom, does anybody know where i get those widgest?

2: After loading up my contacts from my SD, i get a lot of multiples, and there no way for me to delete them. I would have to delete them one by one and its annoying, is there a way around that?

3. Say if i wanted to go back to the stock rom, but still keep S=off, is that still possible even with CM7? Even if i wanted to use the Desire S Rom can i still do so?

4. What are the best ROMS for CM7, i know due to the fact that its a new update, but what is the best one out there and its stable

For now thats all I can think of atmm, Thank you all again =]
[Android Software Development] Nicgraner:
Ok,

1) this should belong in the MT4G Q&A forum not general software development..

2) gingerbread is 2.3 not 2.2 that's froyo

3) I'm sure there's a utility on the market for multiple contacts

4) yes you can switch between roms but make sure you have clockwork mod 3.0.2.4 or 3.0.0.6 so you dont run into any issues with partition support.

5) CM7 is a ROM you do not flash ontop of CM7, you replace it. Which is why when you flash a Rom you must wipe data and cache most of the time unless updating to the newer version of the same Rom.

Borked

Ok hi. So here's the deal:

My EVO can boot into bootloader, and it can get into recovery. Cool right? NO!!!

here's where the problem starts: I installed a corrupted ROMand of course, like every ROM, I wiped everything before flashing that one, and ended up not having a system to fall back on... And now the only thing I can do is get into the Bootloader and recovery.

The following issues I'm having, and the thins I have tried are:

1. I have tried putting the PC36IMG.ZIP at the root of the sd card.

- That didnt work though, and I figured that would only make sense, due to the fact that in recovery, it says "E: cant mount sd card"... So why/how would it work in bootloader?

2. It says "wrong image" when it tries to update the IMG file

3. I'm not a complete noob, I am willing to try ADB, I just dont know the commands to use :-( and IDK what to "push" or, even how to get the computer (PC, NOT a mac) to recognize the phone since it's... well, borked, I guess.

4. I' guessing that's the ONLY way to truly fix the phone and flash another ROM... is from the PC? But if so, HOW? Please help me.
