hehe, it all sounds so exotic! I got my universal for £150 on a rainy high street in the UK!

loving the chance for a camera replacement, though. also, i had a browse through the universal's disassembly manual, and the flash LED is just stuck-down then plugged in. i bet even I could upgrade that!
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] nuclear:
I want to upgrade the flash LED to the flash in the SLR digital camera. So that i get better image quality while taking photographs in the public. Also i would like a 3MP camera. I have printed images on photo paper before and they came out nice. But 3MP would be the best.

nuclear You foolish !!

You absolutely do not understand in electronics and PPC.

1) You can not change the processor since this not PC. Mobile processors PXA 270 and PXA2XX to have other points and other auxiliary elements.

2) Such reasons and about graphic chip.

3)The Camera can be theoretically modernized -but if have an alike connector and electrically parameters.

We conducted the modernization on typhoon c500 cameras. This device was delivered on european and chinese market with miscellaneous camera.

When installation of the other camera -you need other ROM with the other driver for this cameras. You can not simply change this driver - necessary to build in this in ROM.

I did this on typhoon c500. But this in a complicated way.

4) Theoretically you may add on Universal RAM - my friends conducted modernization and tried to enlarge RAM - but you may use only such RAM as it is used in Universal.

My friends concern with the repair PPC to have specialized device. In home condition you will not be able this do.

After they were added chip RAM - a system does not see these chips. We thought that probably system does not see additional RAm since does not enter the signal CS ( chip select ) -we have found this signal on board. But probably system does not see RAM since is not installed specific driver which will be able to service additional RAM.

Be enough to carry the foolishness and tell about that that you do not understand - you probably foolish young person who wants to raise its rating in this forum.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] r3bel:
which SLR digicam? when you say that i think of things like the Canon EOS-D30.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] nuclear:
No i just mean a normal flash like a digital camera flash. In Universal the flashlight dont flash that make your eyes blink. The flashlight on universal always stay on and never give that extra brightness and contrast effect. When you are in preview mode the images are usually darker than when they are snapshot. I have had a few snapshot images that are really bright and i dont expect them to be so because in preview mode they look normal. Thats why i would like to get the flash of the digital camera. Digital camera's dont have adjustable flash like SLR camera e.g. sport, day, night etc...
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] nuclear:
Storage

I forgot to mention one important upgrade. I am sure it is possible to upgrade the internal storage of the Universal? If anyone already has data on that please post.

I will research on increasing the internal storage myself. I think the internal storage works on the same idea as the SD/MMC......etc cards. I am sure it can be upgraded. I would really like to store GPS maps on the internal storage but they are like 2GB, and music, DVD's and music. But i dont think it has more than 128 MB storage?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Yubastard:
now, that seems more reasonable. but upgrading internal storage is not as important as we can do it with a storage card. it is a high gamble, poterntially damaging the device for something we can upgrade with flash card... but it would be good, for you at least as you say you know how to solder very well, unlike us.

also, since I think LCD is driven by the processor, nVidia graphics are more impossible than processor or RAM...

I read that iPaq's ram upgrade was merely a driver hack that makes the PDA still have 64 MB RAM and uses the rest as not-persistent storage... not very uselfull, I think.

anyways we should dwelve more into this. thanx nuclear ad keep it up.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] nuclear:
The nVidia upgrade is almost impossible. But here are the benefits if you manage to upgrade to the latest nVidia chipset. Currently in VGA mode you get to watch videos @ 640x400 pixels. With nVidia's card you can go upto 800x600 pixels. Amazing right.. just a little bit more.

The benefit of that would be that many videos you watch on the pocket pc wont get distorted pixels anymore. Currently i try to watch a 1024x748 pixel video on the pocket pc and the pixels often distort. This problem will be fixed by the nVidia video card chipset upgrade.

A faster internal storage will also be nice. Like in SD cards it is 150X maximum, even in the Universal 150X i presume is also the maximum. This is how i know it is 150X or 30MB/s.

First I tried to transfer a 20MB file from my laptop to the 150X SD card. It took X amount of minutes. Then i tried to transfer the same 20MB file from a folder in the pocket pc to another foleder in the pocket pc. It took Y amount of minutes.

The thing i noticed that X = Y!!. Both took 2 minutes to transfer. This is ridiculous. 2 minutes to make an internal tranfer!...

Thats why i am trying to obtain larger internal storage and faster data writing speeds, and the benefits are overwhelmingly mouth watering.

1. Faster file transfers and applications open very fast!

2. Helps out your RAM, incase you are not able to obtain a RAM upgrade the storage upgrade will help applications run faster and wont put a lot of strain on the RAM.

3. Plays videos faster and fewer distorted pixels and less strain on the video card.

4. Maybe faster external file transfers.

Therefore, i would consider internal storage and data writing speed as on of the most prioritized upgrades for the Universal than RAM or WiFi or Video card or LCD or Camera or Flashlight.

Now the benefit of upgrading the Wifi would be faster network transfers and webpages loading faster as well as downloads are very fast compared to earlier. Your internal storage writing speed and RAM also greately impact your download and webpage browsing speed.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Yubastard:
mouth watering indeed... keep us posted! I'll do my homework and se what's up.

BTW the wiki keeps mentioning several 32MB chips... why so much, and we only see 64MB RAM and 'bout 40MB storage... where did it go?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] nuclear:
I am getting bored with my universal. I want it to do more. Like I want to play some high end games like nfs most wanted or nfs carbon. I would also like to have autocad on it.

I am going to open up my universal and i am going to start ordering parts in a week or so. I would like someone to accompany me while soldering the parts. I will keep everyone posted with pictures. If this device is successful i will call it the Anti-Universal. Might even get a custom made sticker and symbol for Anti-Universal. Market this product for a lot of cash ^^

And i am sure i will need the upgrades for any of those mobile applications. Firstly i would like to mention the increased weight due to all these upgrades will require a 3200mAh battery or a 4800 mAh battery preferably.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] nuclear:
ok ok good news. I ordered the Hynix RAM for our Universal Device. I dont think you will be needing extra RAM/HD space for Crossbow.

When my RAM arrives i will solder it using a magnifying eye piece lens or a microscope <-- better be 10x or something. This will ensure 90% success. Lets see the difference in how the device performs? I would like my videos to play better in VGA mode and my device to respond quicker.

Alright this is where you get the RAM from.

This is where you get the Flash ROM from. Extremely hard to solder. Any microscopic errors could fataly damage the Universal.

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Yubastard:
hey, nuclear check this out! it's a screen-less x51v, supposedly with the motherboard working!

http://cgi.ebay.com/DELL-AXIM-X51V-624MHZ-PDA-4-REPAIR-OR-PARTS-X51V-624-E_W0QQitemZ150033043848QQihZ005QQcategoryZ38331QQrdZ1QQssPageNameZWD1VQQcmdZViewItem

if you buy it, you can heat it up in a reflow station, or toaster oven (with the proper heat ramp-up) and, carefully, take out the 624mghz cpu and put it in a HTC Universal. Of course we would have to design (maybe I can do this) and send to print a mask for solder paste, I know of a couple of sites that do this(cheap, they are in my link in del.icio.us).

we have to check out if the pins are the same on both chips (we need to get our dirty paws on some intel documents! ;) ). if the pins are not the same, I doubt they change too much, if only in placement and/or number.

if they are the same but different placement, then it's a matter of designing a PCB with the modified paths (with the right software, I think some engadget.com diy post said something abouut this kind of software), keeping in mind the other components. of course, maybe we could include more RAM as well while designing the PCB.

the design can be sent to some website I know for about $30 or something like that I don't remember, they send it to you, cheaply, in hopes you will use them in your future gadgets. what do you think? you said you were throwing money at the problem, it's a good idea to experiment, and if it turns out well you get to keep the device, and we both share the design assets.

Im checking out a few GSM surface mount modules. we could find one that is similar to the one we have but incorporates EDGE... hmmm...
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] evilv:
Err - why wouldn't you just leave the WORKING Universal alone, rather than mucking about with it rendering it USELESS?

I'm quite sure that the manufacturer thought rather carefully about how it would all work before making it and building the ROM necessary to operate all its parts. It is I believe still the smartest smartphone on the market, but even if it isn't, better a working one than a dead one, I'd say.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Yubastard:
Err - well that's not the point in this thread, you know... that's why it's titled "Hardware Upgrading". Nuclear is trying to <b>upgrade</b> the Universal, not leave it as it is.

But you are right, tho', HTC did thought about making the parts operate harmoniously, but nuclear has stated he has programmers at hand to code, so... maybe we can get a workaround by coding a ROM or something...

[HTC One Max] statmonkey:
Just to be clear. Phone boots normally. All functions seem to work. After a minute or two phone locks up, then reboots. If phone is powered down it boots into recovery then locks up/freezes.

Apologize for length of this question but I wanted to be thorough. I have tried several things to resolve this, lots of reading and think I know a lot of things that are not causing the problem.

I installed the Andrenaline ROM, it ran fine for a couple of days then the phone started rebooting over and over again. Note it does not do this in TWRP (shutdown and reboot by itself) nor does it do it inHBoot. Only when I actually try to use the phone or apps after booting up. Initially I did the following all successfully:

I rooted using firewater using this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2632385 following the root all was fine and according to plan. No issues.

I then followed this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2498746

Finishing with this http://xdaforums.com/htc-one-max/development/romsense6-adrenaline-4-4-2verizon-t2842331

Wanting to fix this and learn. I decided to go back to square one and even though TWRP seemed to be working I thought I should start there since I can see that I am rooted and have S off and the phone is unlocked.

That means I booted into the phone. Quickly ran adb and started in doing these steps:

adb devices #to make sure it was there

adb reboot bootloader #as per instructions all went well it booted into fastboot

fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.7.1.1-t6vzw.img

# Here seems to be the issue as it just says waiting for device ..... and nada thing happens. So while adb sees the device, runs the reboot of the bootloader it seems to be losing the connection or something at that point.

I am sure I have done something incorrectly. Can anyone lead me in the right direction toward resolving this? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If somebody can just give me an idea of where the problem might be I would appreciate that. I thought about trying a different rom but system is so unstable I don't think I could get it loaded.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I think I was fooled because it ran well for a couple of days before I had issues. After re-reading the OP on the Adrenaline ROM page for about the 100th time I finally noticed ...

Flashing this from TWRP seems to have solved the issue. Thanks to all who at least read the question my apologies for wasting your time. I really did think I had read and seen everything. Actually read the whole thread and still missed that line in the opening post. Thanks to IAmTheOneTheyCallNeo for being so thorough and Flyhalf205 for having provided this. I can now go back to enjoying this fantastic ROM.
[HTC One Max] Neo:
Glad you resolved it on your own. Good job :)

However, your issue with fastboot sounds like you don't really have working fastboot. While in fastboot, you do a "fastboot devices" instead of ADB devices. Then for recoveries it's a fastboot flash recovery nameofrecovery.img

Also, fastboot commands require a locked or re-locked bootloader to work for flashing things.

[HTC One Max] statmonkey:
you are right

Thanks for the heads up. You are correct I have been working around this by using TWRP. I will do some research on how to get a working fastboot tomorrow. I am a linux only person but assume that being on Linux if I can get adb to work fastboot should work right?

Great call that you caught that it's really helpful to have a direction to head in.
[HTC One Max] Neo:
As a matter of fact, I downloaded the necessary tools for Linux which contain working fastboot and adb (They are not the same thing and two different entities). If I have time tonight I'll zip it up and upload it for you with command line install instructions for your Linux system. If not the it'll be tomorrow.

Above and beyond the call sir. That would certainly save me time, effort and confusion. I know just enough to blow a toe or two off. Tomorrow or whenever you have time. Beggars and idiots :) should not be demanding and feeling like the latter after this fiasco. Really appreciate your help and support.
[HTC One Max] Neo:
Download this file and unzip it: Androidv4.zip

then, navigate to the Android folder within terminal and launch the ADB-Install-Linux.sh:

. ADB-Install-Linux.sh

It will install adb and fastboot for linux.

Hi,

Perhaps I have found a method to unlock the LS990.

I dont know, if this works with us carriers.

I have tried it with a non US carrier and it works for me.

Needed:

Root

Root Explorer

Shortcut Master

1. Replace the two files in /carriers/apps with the two files below with Root Explorer

2. Reboot your phone

3. Open Shortcut master and select search

4. Search for apn adn select com.andoird.settings.ApnSettings and then click Launch

5. Select on the Top Right new apn

6. Fill this form out with the apn from your provider (If you don't know the apn look it up in google)

Done

Now everything should work

Still to do:

Disable the Hand free activation from sprint - I have not found the right app now

In the GSM mode my phone shows only GSM in the status bar and not G E H or H+ - Does someone know how to change this?

Automatic selection of the apn, this can perhaps be done with the file /etc/apns-conf.xml

I hopeed I could help some people, if the unlock was succesfull please give me a feedback

This is at your own risk.

Please do it only, if you know what you do!
[Sprint LG G3] garynsa:
Tried and it works. Indeed shows gsm to be as well but works.
[Sprint LG G3] AlanVenu:
Do we have to change the permission of those files. I am unable to get gsm signal after replacing the files. Shows a small x on top of the network bar, also the APN is not sticking.
[Sprint LG G3] anatoli@inbox.ru:
You are best!!! Thx man.:good:

I could it only try on iternational carriers.

Perhaps everybody can write if the phone was used with sprint before and if it was activated.

perhaps you can post a screenshot with the error?

I have found the app to disable the Hand Free activation:

I have uninstalled LGSetupWizard with Titanum Backup and it was gone.

Editing the Build prop will give you a bootloops. Also we don't have a recovery yet.

This should be the correct one: During the installation of the rom it will ask you for the model of the G3 - select Sprint LG G3 LS990
