Now I'm deep inside the RGU files from Trinity.

Some interesting findings:

1. HKLM\Comm\Security\SystemCertificates\Privileged Execution Trust Authorities - maybe we can put needed certificates into this branch for an automatic start of Trinity DLLs (another choice is to find the differences between RGU file and Hermes registry - who knows maybe there are some special certificates in Trinity's testing ROM?) I will check it later.

2. In RGU file there is the registry branch HKLM\Drivers\RegisteredDevice\BTD_COM9. I cannot find it in registry of my Hermes. I will try to add it and will see what happens next.

Added: :D After adding this entry and soft reset I'm able to start COM9 manually (as you remember I was not able to start it during last 2 days) !!!

3. \HKLM\Drivers\BuiltIn\QCTUSB_PCD9

In Hermes registry I have this branch empty.

In Trinity RGU file there are some keys inside this branch:

Dll="QCTUSB.DLL"

Prefix="PCD"

Index=9

DeviceArrayIndex=5

Tsp="Unimodem.dll"

Order=3

DeviceType=0

FriendlyName="Virtual PCD9"

DevConfig=20,00,00,00,05,00,00,00,10,01,00,00,00,4B,00,00,00,00,08,00,00,00,00,00,00

And SOMETHING INTERESTING:

\HKLM\Software\Microsoft\RIL\DataPort="PCD9:"

(In Hermes registry this key refers to "PCD1:")

Maybe this is what we looking for?

It looks like "virser_port" that you are looking...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Koksie:
In the registry of my Herm200 (Vario II, T-Mobile radio ROM, no Trinity radio flashed),

HKLM\Drivers\RegisteredDevice\BTD_COM9 points to btd.dll, flags =0, index=9, pefix is COM.

On my Hermes, \HKLM\Drivers\BuiltIn\QCTUSB_PCD9 has the same values as you found in the Trinity RGU file.

\HKLM\Software\Microsoft\RIL\DataPort="PCD9:" is indeed pointing to PCD1 on my Hermes.

It seems to me that the first two reg keys are identical to the original ones on my Hermes, only the contents of the .dll files may or may not differ between Trinity and Hermes.

edit: I did a search in my registry and found this in HKLM\Drivers\Active\63

HND=Dword 305664 decimal

Key=System/CurrentControlset/GPSIntermediateDriver/Multiplexer/ActiveDevice. Does this key point to the GPS Driver that works between the GPS and the OS? How is this in the trinity reg dump? Hmmm, I looked at it, it points to the GPSID.dll file. not much help I am afraid. let me know if I can help in any way.

just another mention; but I have installed the privileged developer certificates on my Hermes and have signed the rilgsm dll with that signature; after doing this, the dll starts *AUTOMATICALLY*!

UPDATE2: GPS DLL's are signed; GPS device now starts automatically

UPDATE3: signed unimodem.dll and cellcore.dll; phone still functions with these installed

UPDATE4: signed serial_cmd.dll; this makes my device white-out and die... can someone find out what DLL's this one depends on so I can load it without crashing
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] bobstarina:
Dear Olipro,

Could you put these signed files in this topic?

All other people involved in research will be very much grateful to you.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] dutty:
can you explain how you have signed those files with the developer certificate?? i have tried it myself with several different method (sign package from mamaich) and security configuration manager.. i just can't sign those beasts..

i think serial_cmd.dll depends on ril.dll but there is another missing dll...

yes the hermes implements the gps intermediate driver, with some small adjustments you can keep those entries.. not sure what they were, i have to check.. gpsid is the driver that implements the microsoft gpsapis that oyu can use in .net for example (check the tool i compiled in c#)

from the looks of everything, it really looks like they just crippled out some functions to make the hermes a non gps device.. i'm sure there were some protoypes with gps enabled..
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Olipro:
elementary my dear friend :P

You might recall I posted something that allows you to disable the security on your PDA; this application also allows you to provision developer certificates on your PDA as well.

Basically, I provisioned the certs onto it, and then used signtool.exe (if you go to the file menu on the security program then it'll show you what folder it needs to be in) to sign the DLL files and plopped them on my PDA with Resco.

seems to be a massive breakthrough since ril.dll (and pretty much everything else) works perfectly and automatically though this method.

P.S: get the signtool.exe off Google; there's a Codeproject website that has it.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] dutty:
yeah.. thats the "security configuration manager".. it just wont work for me .. weird..

i have attached a file package, can you check if you can sign files with this? it even contains the proper certificate, copy it to your wince device and execute the cert.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Olipro:
Yeah... it won't work till you get the Signtool.exe
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] dutty:
care to attach ;) ? i couldn't the file besides on msdn.. can you attach signtool.exe + your dev certificate?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] bobstarina:
dutty

Your tool is working for me. Successfully signed files with warning message "No timestamp".

You could attach other files you got from Trinity rom If this tool is not working for you.

I will sign all of them and attach them back.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] dutty:
yes i can sign them with it too, same warning but WCE does not accept the files as signed :(
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] bobstarina:
Checked it right now. The same problem with me.

I found a problem in your signing tool.

For an option "-spc" in the BAT file you should use SPC certificate (not CER).

There is a tool in MS SDK for converting CER to SPC:

"cert2spc cert1.cer [cert2.cer … certN.cer] outputSPCfile.spc"

Do you have this tool? Can you post it here?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Olipro:
http://www.codeproject.com/useritems/signcode.asp

when you try and sign a file with the Security tool, it shows the path it's looking in to find Signtool.exe; put it in there

A simple pinout is what we need the most at present :)

Even easier. A number:

pin number of LNA GPS input.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] jpogge:
It is pretty much a requirement that the antenna be placed where no ground plane exisit to eliminate the "Ground Bounce" effects. This is common,and the hermes pcb has a blank area at the top just under the plastic piece holding the GSM antenna. It might be best to use a dremel to scapr away some of the plastic to mount the antenna into it. The antenna is 3mm x 10mm x .7mm

The LCmatching component are 0603 size. Im waiting on the smaller coax, what I have now is a little large but usable.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] jixxie:
That black plastic piece is enclosed by a plate of rubber from the back side, so it could be enough to peel the rubber off (have no idea why it is there anyway) and put the gps anntenna inside if there is nothing. No drilling or dremmling needed then.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] jpogge:
The black rubber is most likely an RF absorbing material used to block EMI noise from the circuit board.

Laird Technologies manufactures this king of material, it is impregnated with carbon, and ferrites.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Izzard-UK:
This might be a really dumb question.. ..but can't the antenna go in the battery compartment? There is space between the battery and the battery cover for something flat, 1 or 2 mm thick. I know, because I keep something flat there! :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Sleuth255:
I've done a bit of post pruning here. No offense meant to those whose posts I deleted, but we must keep this thread on track with development data only.

To that end, I concur with jpogge's suggestion to mount the antenna assy. cb on the topside of the hermes mainboard directly above the RF shield that covers the RFR 6250 (this after several "thinking out loud" PMs that missed some obvious stuff - sorry jp :o). This would position it directly underneath the LED's on the front of the Hermes above the screen but on the keyboard portion of the device.

I was attempting to find a non-used copper clad portion of the mainboard to etch a circuit onto but RF requirements made it pretty much pie-in-the-sky thinking.

There's no copper on the mainboard at the proposed site so a small cb could be attached with epoxy that would orient the chip antenna within its optimal radiation pattern when being held normally and in a good orientation when set on a dashboard. The coax length would be minimal there too. Finally, the Hermes case itself increases in size to provide clearance for the GSM antenna assembly and HTC engineers have designed everything to concentrate antennas into this general site on the mainboard.

I'm ready for dis-assembly now and will post pics of the proposed site this weekend.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Lancealot:
I took some pictures of a dismantled Magellan antenna assembly. It's cylindrical in shape however, it can be unrolled flat. You can see in the second picture that there is an X shaped joint that connects each leg of the antenna to the coax. I will do some further modifications in prep for the installation. I don't believe it will have any trouble fitting inside of the Hermes, but I will continue doing research and will post back my results.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Sleuth255:
Ok, disassembly complete. The process of removing the mainboard is actually quite simple. Follow the link in the Wiki. The following instructions only make sense when you have the website disassembly instructions in front of you:

Once the 4 initial torx screws are removed, you have to carefully run your finger around the split using your fingernail between the two casings starting at the bottom to release the "picks". When complete, the battery holder casing will lift free of the mainboard. From there, remove the battery cover latch by depressing its tabs with tweasers then remove the final torx screw attaching the plastic GPS antenna assembly and you'll have this:

(click here for full size image)

The above pic shows the mainboard lifted up prior to removing the tape that holds the kbd connector on. Again, the site in the Wiki link is very good at explaining how to reach this point.

Our antenna circuit location will be right where the white barcode is. That will provide plenty of clearance (almost 3mm) into an unused area of the plastic case. For measurement purposes, the RFR 6250 chip itself is 7mm according to manufacturer specs. So far piece of cake.

Then there's this:

(click here for full size image)

This pic shows the cover of the RF shield removed to show the RFR 6250

Gulp! :eek: That tiny little chip to the right of my finger is the target. About 2/3 the size of a microSD card. Soldering to the pins of this chip will be a major issue. Gluing is out of the question IMO. I'll need to purchase the gold micro needle tip for my antex to even have a shot at this. Hopefully, we'll be able to find a pad to solder to instead.

These pics are super hiRez btw. Click on the indicated links below the pics for the full size version.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Sleuth255:
We're getting closer to finding the pin. :) Here's the reference info, the picture we will be working from so to speak. Our RFR 6250 is a standard 48pin 7x7mm qfn package. As such, pin1 is by the dot and pins number consecutively counterclockwise from here. Ignore solder connections at the beveled corners. These are just grounding points IIRC. Here's the reference photo for locating the attachment spot:

(thanks jixxie for this great shot!! Click here for the full size image)

It's very easy to see the "1" by pin 1 in this photo after you load the full size version.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Sleuth255:
The good news is that I have the pinouts. The bad news is....

At this point, it appears that the GPS LNA block is separate from the GPS MIX input on the chip (3 pins allocated: 2 input & 1 output) and has been deliberately disabled on the Hermes to prevent chip damage from floating inputs.

That means that the antenna circuit will have to include LNA components (requiring power) and connect at two different pins on the RFR 6250 (GPSMIX plus & GPSMIX minus). This is potentially a much more challenging project now if the info is correct.

Trinity hiRez pics showing circuitry around the "dot" on the RFR 6250 are very important now as they will allow us to verify what HTC did to implement GPS there.

sodering test

I have done some soldering test on a comparable chip, this is also a 7x7mm with 48 pins chip (from an old digital camara). I soldered a 0.2 mm lead to one of the pins of the chip. see picture (pin four at the bottom)

I used a self made soldering tip on my weller solder station:

http://home.kabelfoon.nl/~lan/images/soldeerpunt.tif

It's not too hard to do if you take your time for it. After some preperation it took me 5 minutes to do.

Too bad we probably have to add more than just the antenna.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Sleuth255:
More bad news :(

Buildout documentation mentions that GPSMix pins should be shorted together if GPS is not used. While the pic seems to show that the two pins in question are not connected, they may well be shorted by an intermediate layer trace. If this is the case, then major surgery will be required to implement GPS on the hermes...
