Hi,

I recently bought a Kaiser. I think it's great. Only thing missing is an FM radio. Or is it?

I think it's accurate to say that the only real difference between the Kaiser and the Polaris is the keyboard. They have the same Qualcomm chipset, same amount of memory, the lot. So why then does the Polaris have an FM radio and the Kaiser does not?

Does anybody know if anybody has attempted to "lift" the radio programs out of the Polaris for testing in the Kaiser?

[Touch Cruise General] Top Mario:
Most of us are still waiting for the polaris to be officialy released
[Touch Cruise General] athanaso77:
Kaiser is supposed to be a "Professional" device and FM Radio is not one of it's features.

This is not possible because it is not only software but mostly hardware issue.
[Touch Cruise General] arabbitte:
> Kaiser is supposed to be a "Professional" device and FM Radio is not one of it's features.

Hey, I'm a "professional" and I want a radio ;-)

>This is not possible because it is not only software but mostly hardware issue.

Ok, but as far as I know the hardware is identical, so this means it should just be missing software.
[Touch Cruise General] MasK:
Hmm..

Just because the chipset and memory is identical, doesnt mean the rest of the hardware is identical.

Anyways.. I think O2's version of the Kaiser has radio. Go check it out.
[Touch Cruise General] Rudegar:
yeah fm radio require a whole different radio chip compared to gsm

software is not enough to change it so gsm/umts at <800Ghz and are digital start recieving analog signals at around 100Ghz
[Touch Cruise General] athanaso77:
Ο2 is identical to Kaiser... which means that this was a mistyping error. O2 version does not have FM radio and most sites have corrected their previous posts.
[Touch Cruise General] arabbitte:
Understood, but do you remember when the Trinity (aka 3600) was updated after launch with GPS? It had GPS all the time, but it wasn't activated on the original models.

I know the Polaris and Kaiser have the same hardware and only appear to differ with the keyboard. So if GPS can be activated on the Trinity, why not FM Radio on the Kaiser?

I'm assuming the FM on the Polaris is not built in to the headset ...
[Touch Cruise General] athanaso77:
Trinity always had built-in GPS. Kaiser does not have FM Radio built-in. I don't want to disappoint you but this is the truth my friend.
[Touch Cruise General] arabbitte:
Oh dear :(

This is the first time I heard that there are actually hardware differences that would prevent FM radio functionality from being available on the Kaiser. It sounds like you know what you are talking about - I assumed that the Qualcom chipset that is common to both would mean FM radio was possible on the Kaiser. Does the Polaris have a different or upgraded chipset to the Kaiser or does the FM radio come from additional hardware?

Go on, I can handle the truth (albeit with considerable difficulty ...) ;)
[Touch Cruise General] Rudegar:
the radio only seem to work when the headset is connected

meaning that it use the headset wire as antenne which mean

that even if the fm radio was in the cpu not having wireing to an

antenna would mean that it could not recieve radio
[Touch Cruise General] arabbitte:
I think all FM-equipped phones work like this. A friends 3300 has a headset just like my Kaiser. So no problems having to use the supplied headset then.

So, if not in the Qualcomm 7200 and not in the headset, just where is the FM?
[Touch Cruise General] Rudegar:
a phone have more components then it's main cpu and the headset

if you look in the various wiki's for devices where they are opened

it's full of various IC's

if Qualcomm 7200 is not spec'd as having fm radio on Qualcomm's site

htc put another fm radio chip on the pcb to handle the fm radio

fm radio is a pretty old teck so i would understand why Qualcomm would not put too much work into having it on chip
[Touch Cruise General] athanaso77:
Exactly!!! ;)
[Touch Cruise General] arabbitte:
Look, I know I'm sounding desperate here, but you do say if. I have actually looked at the schematics for the 7200 but there is so much detail, it's impossible for me to see if/where FM radio functionality might be lurking.

So, do we know for a fact that FM radio is not part of the 7200? (Forgive my pedantic questioning - I'm desperate! ;-))
[Touch Cruise General] Rudegar:
cant say 100% but all the techs are listed and fm is not so i would guess another chip is used

http://www.cdmatech.com/platforms/convergenceplatform/msm7200_chipset_solution.jsp#top

http://www.cdmatech.com/download_library/pdf/msm7200_chipset.pdf

you can look in wiki for pcb pics of the other devices with fm to see if you can see a fm chip on any of their pcb's
[Touch Cruise General] athanaso77:
Why don't you buy

this

?
[Touch Cruise General] arabbitte:
I had a quick look, but didn't see anything. Then again, I'm not an expert ...

Now that some time has passed since the last update in this thread, is anybody out there any more knowlegable about the possibility of an "FM extract" ?
[Touch Cruise General] arabbitte:
I had a look and it's an interesting device, but ...

No screen interface, station selection a bit bit and miss

Bigger than just headphones

I already have a Jabra wireless for car use, so this is overapping functionality

(my biggest issue)It needs it's own seperate power supply for recharging purposes. I'm big into convergence (that's why I bought the Kaiser!) so this is a no no
[Touch Cruise General] arabbitte:
Some progress on this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=355524&page=210#2095

Now, it's not working. Yet.

Anyone have any comments on the possibility of the Polaris headset having something in it that the Kaiser's doesn't - & thus preventing the FM application from working in Kaiserland?

The thing is, I still find it hard to understand why HTC would change or add to the hardware of the Polaris just to get FM working - especially when the target audience for the 2 devices cannot be that different. Surely there is a big cost to make any mods on a standard platform?

But of course, this could simply be wishfull thinking on my side :confused:
[LG G Stylo Questions & Answers] Alex_XV6700:
Can anyone with a rooted Stylo on 20G update make an EMMC backup and upload it.

I would really be grateful.

This is the way to do it:

Use command backup mmcblk0

adb shell

su

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0 of=/data/media/0/H631EMMC20G.img bs=1024 count=1048576

if you have SD Card (this would be better)

adb shell

su

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0 of=/mnt/media_rw/external_SD/H631EMMC20G.img bs=1024 count=1048576

to root the device you must first unlock bootloader

enable usb debugging, enable OEM unlock (THIS WILL WIPE EVERYTHING ON YOUR PHONE)

adb reboot bootlader

fastboot oem_unlock

let it reboot

adb reboot bootlader (again)

fastboot flash recovery twrp.img (download TWRP)

reboot to recovery and flash latest supersu.zip

damn I wish I found this thread a few days ago lol. I did the same thing - bricked my stylo by trying to go for 20g back to 20c.
[LG G Stylo Questions & Answers] Alex_XV6700:
And this community is so sh*i*t*t*y now everyone just wants to come and download stuff but not help others in need of backups or emmc imgs.
[LG G Stylo Questions & Answers] thejoker954:
Well I'm thinking about grabbing a LG stylo with a bad ESN off of eBay for around $30, but I'm not sure if pulling the emmc backup from it would do any good for us. I have zero experience with bad ESN phones.

**Edit**

For anyone viewing this thread it is safe to go from the 20i (the newest one) to 20g it's only dangerous to go from 20g to 20c so if anyone feels like helping.... :)

Also ms631 20g emmc backup would most likely work as well as they are the same phone
[LG G Stylo Questions & Answers] Alex_XV6700:
Is there any MS631 20G emmc backup available anywhere? I really dont know if its a good idea to downgrade but you may try! If the phone is of no use to you I can buy it. It was my backup phone and I really liked the long lasting battery. :good:

[LG G Stylo Questions & Answers] expon1930:
You have to have an emmc backup or a system.IMG dump and write it to an external sd with a tool called windisk32img. I think with a system dump using partitions backup and restore will give download mode, but i can't test now.

[LG G Stylo Questions & Answers] OriginalHit:

[LG G Stylo Questions & Answers] expon1930:
For BoardDiag you need someone to pull a rawdataxml file form their phones, as I have tried using to tool before by renaming some of the .bin files from the kdz to match the one in the g2 or g3 XML files, but still got an error.

[LG G Stylo Questions & Answers] Alex_XV6700:
If you need to find partition structure you may download THIS tool and load the BACKUPGPT.bin there to know the partition structure in each KDZ individually, from there you can edit a rawprogram.xml from another similar phone like LG G3, but that is a dead end I guess I tried everything and guys Im sorry but the motherboard of the Stylo that arrived is MS631 but the charging port is kind of f'd up cause it only charges, my computer doesnt detect it and I got no time right now to take the phone to a shop to get repaired.

HERE you can find the tmo h631 LG UP dll.

Not that that made a difference... I even extracted the DZ from the KDZ to flash thru LG Flash tool old method and even that didnt work :/
[LG G Stylo Questions & Answers] expon1930:
so even if i had a metro emmc it wouldn't work no matter what? i find it weird that lg even detects the phone at with the tmobile emmc. i guess our last bet would be to use a system.img backup like what the g4 and v10 users did, i'm gonna try to read those imgs files to see if were missing something.
[LG G Stylo Questions & Answers] Alex_XV6700:
We're not missing anything and LG G4 and V10 imgs are not system imgs. They are emmc backups. The system.img they used was only to unlock the phones or to gain root somehow. I had both devices and both died on me. My G4 got stolen by [MENTION=615658]bountyman334[/MENTION] and I sent my V10 for repair to the US and sold it as soon as it came back from factory...

There is no boarddiag for G4 or V10. That tool is used only for G2, G3 and Nexus 4 - 5.

I tried boarddiag and QFIL without avail. I got SAHARA protocol from a video on youtube for repairing Qualcomm 9008 for D308 and D305 (LG L70 and L65).

To no avvail again. Believe me I've tried almos everything out there except pulling the EMMC from the board. My board is now scrapes cause the MS631 board had water damage and I had to replace the charge port and some ICs that were damaged.
