The two successful upgrades were done at a place called "HTCStore", not a big place, but they got the machine to do the soldering. I was there and the guy who works there looked like somebody who did a lot of this kind of work.

And some technical info (sorry if I'm not precise at everything):

So the task is: solder out 2 chips and solder 2 other in their place. The tricky part is, the chips have (due to integration, small sizes, thin package...) so-called BallGridArray package. They don't have pins or 'legs' to solder manually. All the contact pads are tiny bumps or balls at the bottom. These are made of solder, so the place-in is done with hot air (cca. 180°C), at which the solder-bumps flow and make the electrical connection. But there's a nother problem. You don't want all the other devices to fall out (their soldering to loosen), that's why the machine has to be 'selective'. And that's where I can't know any further, maybe the heating/air flow is applied only to the right area...

And the thing is, because of the lots of 'memory-upgrades' done in the HTCStore, they own this kind of stuff. So just find a service that's doing this kind of things. Or an electrical devices manifacturer.

PS: I wrote the Selective Soldering Station into the wiki, to let you know what equipment is needed. I was too concerned back than about finding a place to do the soldering, but all the other guys here and on the hungarian forum solved this problem;)

RAM upgrade in GERMANY ???

Hi Everybody!

Does anybody know something about a reliable possibility to get the 128MB RAM upgrade somewhere inside GERMANY...?

Thanks for any useful reply!

IT would be really interesting if a company could offer a "bring-in" upgrade so that people from Europe let's say could send it, pay an amount and get it back with the 128MB Ram.

Well, today I finally got my hands on my upgraded Universal.

128 MB ROMs

BTW, in theory, isn't it possible to make a tool for turning a normal ROM into a 128MB compatible one? I know it takes some time to write a program like that, but can it be done? Decompress the file, put in the necessary modules/programs/regs... and recompress.

I know I'm being selfish here, but this way all of the great ROMs here would be available for us with 128M too and there won't be any need for releasing 128MB versions...

:confused:

The topic is talking about RAM but you're talking about ROM which is not same.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] wtpelzer:
Changing a ROM to utilise 128MB RAM...

As far as I'm aware and Beasty confirmed it for me you only need the NK.exe from Mamaich's first ROM to upgrade a ROM to allow it to use the extra RAM. :D So all you need is a ROM with the RGU's and other bit's and pieces which you can decode and overwrite the NK.exe with Mamaich's NK.exe in the XIP and recompile the ROM, flash it and off you go! :) Well in theory anyway in practice it will take you a while to get the hang of the tools... ;)
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] homa:
@ranju:

Yes, I knew that, but after I got the memory upgrade, I want to extend the range of compatible ROMs... And I thought I won't open another thread just for that. But maybe...

(I'll be pleased to see your ROM with 128MB too! That would be just great.)

@wtpelzer:

Thanks very much for this precise reply. Soooo... NK.exe is the kernel program, I suppose. Wouldn't be it possible to extract the whole ROM from the nk.nbf file? Something like HyperCore... We could get the bits and pieces, replace the kernel and recompile it. I guess I'll try out HyperCore...
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] tomal:
Yes, I'm working for the 128MB (RAM support) version but it will take a while.

NK.exe is OEM part of the XIP and OEM part is the hardest part to compile in the new rom (if you really want something less buggy).
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] cmonex:
er, no, it is really easy to change NK.exe...

1) get NB from NBF

2) get XIP partition (msflshtool or similar should work)

3) use newest version of xipport to insert new nk.exe, realloc P, .... then of course build xip (one click), reinsert in NB and done.

(this is of course assuming the new nk isn't too large, etc. .. but complications are unlikely)

first if you transfer nk between this 2 examples ... rom will not boot without relocating nk.exe

ALSO CHECK MAPS ...SOMETIMES XIPPORTS RELOC P FUNC CAUSE MAP OVERLAP FIXABLE ONLY BY HAND
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] tomal:
Thank you mo3ulla, you're right. :)
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] cmonex:
hah those examples must be from different devices as the memory mapping for nk is totally different. who would use a different device's nk, seriously.

as for realloc P causing overlaps - you should update to newest xipport. if you can't find it i'll give you a download link
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] mo3ulla:
no .... its all from universal roms...

xipport- latst ... work great but sometimes reloc p ccause overlap or reloc func cant transport file
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] tomal:
the new xipport really do not work as my expectation. the old one is buggy though I'm comfortable with that
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] cmonex:
realloc P causes overlap in the older xipports, are you sure you have the right one? i mean this: http://hpcmonex.net/xipport.zip

in the new one it is never supposed to actually cause one, would you be able to show me an example xip where it happens, i'm curious.

(note. realloc P is NOT reloc. it does nothing to the modules, i.e. does not relocate the addresses in their sections or e32 vbase etc. it only arranges the binary files in the xip binary.)

also would you show me the htc universal rom where physfirst is 8C100000? this is even more interesting. thanks :)
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] mo3ulla:
1. ok if i receive such erroe i will pm you map

2. i know how it works and what xipport moves

3. this is experimental rom with rebuilded nk and rebuiledd xip drivers
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] cmonex:
1.: OK cool thanks, let me know.

2.: i said that only because you kept saying "reloc P"

3.: ah ok that explains it, mreloc_nk :D i was talking about less experimental roms originally :)

Does anyone know how to help me?

Flash firmweare with fastboot, download ota with firmweare finder, copy update.app on your pc, extract with huawei extract tool boot.img, recovery.img and system.img(put the extracted images in the same folder where is located your fastboot) and flash them with fastboot.

With the phone turned off press vokume - while pluging the usb cable till will start in fastboot mode.

Run fastboot and enter this commands:

- fastboot flash boot boot.img

- fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

- fastboot flash system system.img

- fastboot reboot

and then wait the phone to reboot.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Seraph|:
Hey there guys, i've just updated my s7edge to nougat and after the first 20m i'm already seeing some issues.

The first one is in notifications. I use the app "Battery widget" and i have it configured so that it shows my phone temp, battery percentage and time till depletion, but it used to be on top of all the other notifications in marshmallow and now it is not since nougat update. It used to work fine in my note 4 as well so my guess is that it's all related to nougat. Is there a way to fix this?

Second issue is auto bright. Before nougat i had it set for a specific bright in my room and the phone remembered that level everytime i unlocked my phone, now sjnce nougat it always resets itself to his own standards, which happen to be too low to my eyes.

Is there any way to solve those 2 issues?

Any help is most welcome. :)

Thanks in advance

Hi All,

I have an o2 UK 6039Y on Lollipop and want to upgrade to MM. OTA won't work with this version. So far I managed to root, install TWRP and recover fastboot commands (they were missing). I have not seen any official MM roms on the forum, there are some like:

https://xdaforums.com/idol-3/development/rom-android-6-0-1-marshmallow-t3397546

https://xdaforums.com/idol-3/general/rom-6-0-1-version-010-01-kernel-3-10-49-t3518041

I assume you do with the first link and then it is hard to get these back, but I would not with the second link? I am after as stock experience as possible, using the phone for work and I need stuff to just work. Also if anything goes wrong or I can't use any apps I will need, will I be able to restore the backups of Lollipop I have taken with TWRP to roll back to Lollipop?

Many thanks in advance, if this has been covered somewhere please send me links, I've been reading the forum for about 24 hours and getting dizzy now;)

My V10 went into a bootloop back in November and I was fortunate enough to get it replaced days before the 1 warranty expired. Yesterday, my wife's V10 also suffered the same failure. Unfortunately, no insurance and Verizon still insists that they don't know anything about the hardware fault that's causing these phones to bootloop. I can cough up my failure to just bad luck, but both phones failing for the same thing has nothing to do with luck.

If anyone knows of a class action suit being filed against LG, I would be interested in signing up.

I've seen the articles of an active lawsuit against them, but there's no information on how to join. Usually, the attorneys will get companies to release the information of customers who may have been affected so that they can be contacted to join or opt out. Either way, I will send them an email and see if I get a response..
[Verizon LG V10] xceebeex:
My phone just got the bootloop yesterday and I was able to get Verizon to agree to send a replacement for me even though I am well out of warranty. The person I spoke with on chat said she researched it and said it was a known issue so they could cover it. So my replacement phone comes tomorrow. Now I am just trying to get it to boot long enough for me to back up whatever I can.
[Verizon LG V10] Hypnosis4U2NV:
You faired far better than me. They told me they didn't know anything about the issue (however they knew about it back in November when my phone died a few days before it's one year anniversary) when I called about my wife's phone suffering the same fate.

I did call LG and they are definitely aware of the issue as they extended the warranty of the phone by an additional 6 months.

Verizon should still address this issue with its customers rather than brush it off as just another defective device out if warranty.
[Verizon LG V10] lowkeyst4tus:
I think there is one right now.. Not sure how to find it.. I notice most of the people experiencing bootloop ignored fixing the overheating, which almost all of them do out the box.. Mine did and I stopped the overheating right away simply by enabling developer option and turning off all window animations.. Don't know what that is but since them my v10 stays cold to the touch for basic daily use.. Even when watching videos.. I haven't tried gaming but I plan to.. You might want to do it to the one you just fixed.. By default it's on " x1."
[Verizon LG V10] Hypnosis4U2NV:
Thanks, I'll give that a shot. My wife isn't a very heavy user, so don't know how the phone overheated that much to cause the hardware issue.
[Verizon LG V10] Hypnosis4U2NV:
Received notification that LG repaired the phone by replacing the main board. They determined the fault to be "phone not charging". What a crock of ****. That was not even a problem.

Meanwhile, I'm 2 days in still waiting for a response to my email from the firm that is already suing them.

I bought my V10 day 1 (10/30/'15) and it bootlooped like a week ago. Sent it in and just got the email saying it wasn't charging through the port. Right... 20 months in and they're still replacing boards "under warranty" though so I'm not mad lol
[Verizon LG V10] Hypnosis4U2NV:
Nice to know it wasn't just me they used that excuse with, guess they don't want the real reason of shoddy hardware being a liability in court.

My V10 replacement from Nov 2016 now exhibits WiFi disconnection issues. Wife's V10 has no such problems. Hopefully I can get to November before the phone totally faults out again.

I was looking forward to the Pixel 2 but I heard it's going to be a LG manufactured phone. Ugh, that's sad news as I won't even consider it.

Agreed, I definitely won't be one of the early buyers for a pixel 2. Bought a Note 4 off ebay, gonna roll with that and my newly repaired V10 as a backup until one of these manufacturers makes a modern phone with all the features I want.

Hello, everyone. A few months ago a relative received a brandless Android 4.4.2 smartphone as a present for suscribing to a journal. Once he started using it he began noticing that strange apps would install alone in the phone, and once in a few days the phone would start behaving weirdly (making calls to his contacts, opening apps randomly and writing random characters. The phone wouldn't respond to touch while that was happenning). I have read on the Internet that several users had also had malware problems with the same phone model (which html5test.com detects as a 77x while imei.info detects it as a Zora T-6). It seems that there is some kind of pre-installed malware on it, as the problems do not disappear after factory-resetting the phone. I have also tried uninstalling suspicious system apps by rooting it, which stopped the phone from installing apps alone. But it keeps making calls, opening or closing stuff itself, etc. I tried lots of aniti-viruses and they did not find any malware at all. I do not know what else to do in order to get rid of this annoying malware. Could anyone please help me?
