[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Actually, it is highly more likely that the device is a M919N and still has its original motherboard but has been flashed with M919 firmware, either to switch networks or to update the device. I've done it myself and had devices that it had been done to when I got them, all were Samsung devices, an example would be an S2 SCH-D710 that was flashed with SCH-R760X. Or even my Straight Talk S3 SCH-S968C that is actually a Verizon S3 and came with the Verizon S3 model number on its motherboard from the factory. With Samsung, in some cases, model number is less specific than with other brands.

It's VERY common to do so, 100 times more common than switching the motherboard.

99% sure you have a M919N, that doesn't really matter though because they can use the same firmware, that's why flashing the M919 firmware didn't harm the device. I'd flash the M919N firmware before using any rooting methods and then use M919N instructions, custom recovery and custom ROMs.

To verify, you can open the device, it's model number will be stamped on it.
[General Questions and Answers] stevezdrums:
Is there a reason I couldn't keep the M919 firmware and use those instructions for rooting? I would rather have T-Mobile firmware as I use T-Mobile, and also, to me, Metropcs just reeks of inferior quality (perhaps it's just me?). Is it something about the rooting process's interaction with my hardware?
[General Questions and Answers] Ibuprophen:
YES you can continue with the M919 Firmware as installed.

Droidriven was just providing additional information as to the difference between what the device reflects and the data label under the battery.

[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
CF auto root usually doesn't play well with things it wasn't specifically built for.

Your device is M919N, use M919N firmware and M919N CF auto root. Go with what is proven to work and then deal with things to make it suit your "preferences" after you're rooted. Root gives you the power to change things, remember?

To be certain and to avoid conflicts with CF auto root, open the device, inspect the motherboard to see if motherboard and sticker behind battery match.

Of course, it's also entirely possible that since the firmware interchange then the CF auto root is also interchangeable. Only way to verify is research or try it.

To change the notification panel background, download an app called EMUI THEME EDITOR. Open the app and choose the desired theme you wanna edit. Then go to notification panel. Select custom color. Choose the full white color and save the theme. Now apply the theme from your theme store and restart the device. CONGRATS !! YOU GOT THE TRANSPARENT NOTIFICATION PANEL.

hello

it is full transparent or semi- transparent?

it won't work on the p9 lite, as it's been disabled on purpose. if you want to change it you need root, there's instructions around here somewhere

Hello all,

I was stumbling around, using one of my favorite search engines, Napalm, and found this:

RUU_Wings_HTC_WWE_1.21.405.0_R_radio_sign_25.47.20.01_1.58.09.17_Test

What is it, and what can we do with it? :) Anyone speak Slovak?

Thanks,

Matt

[UPDATE Jan 23rd: 01:51 UTC]

For those of you who don't feel like reading 9 pages of posts, here's the rundown:

JockyW2001 did a lot of work, cooked the Prod ROM and pre-pro Rom.

He then pinpointed the NVRAM entry that disabled GPS on his Kaiser, and recommends that someone with a prod S730 test it. You should donate to him.

Dumdidum has a pre-prod S730 and did a whole lotta testing.

Good luck getting any of them to write a nice tutorial for us n00bs, though. :D

Test away.

[UPDATEish Jan 24th: 00:48 UTC]

Current post page count is 14.

Tools: HardSPL; QPST 2.7; QXDM 3.9.19

More testing to change the NVRAM setting. Failed to remain modified after soft reset (to get into the OS, out of tri-color bootloader mode).

[UPDATE Jan 25th: 02:06 UTC]

Current post page count is 15.

No progress today...

My opinion is that there isn't security exactly, but an automatic rewrite taking place; as in, something saying "return NV values to this value," that, in itself, is a single value somewhere.

[UPDATE Jan 28th: 02:13 UTC]

Current post page count is still 15

Nothing new. No more progress reports until something changes.

Getting into tri-color boot mode.

[UPDATE]

Thread is continued HERE.

jocky gave in and explained how to change the NV setting for us n00bs.

Did you know jockyw2001 doesn't even have an S730, yet he's spending a lot of time and energy helping us out?
[HTC Wings] jockyw2001:
Cool you found the missing part. If this is really for Wings we can start cooking ROMs and test pre-prod on prod :D

EDIT: Yes, this is the real thing ! Excellent find :)

SPL: 1.20.0000...Wings SPL EVT...Shipped
[HTC Wings] bigflavor:
OMG! Crazy...

Well, I have no idea what the hell to do with this, or anything... but I'd be more than glad to help/test whatever.
[HTC Wings] Dumdidum:
So is this a whole ROM?

If yes, which language?
[HTC Wings] Dumdidum:
Ok. I have a preproduction Phone with working GPS, but it is veeeeeeeeeery slow and is crashing all 10 minutes (no ****)

So I decided to give it a go, and I've updated the ROM here.

It's a Test only, not for sale.

1. Thing: It's very fast now. But I think your productive devices were fast before

2. Thing: COM4 doesnt respond yet.

I'm happy now because I can finally use the device, and I'm trying to implement the GPS back. I'm sure that this has to work because I have a working GPS antenna in the device.

Btw. it's english after flashing, Languages included are:

Cestina

Romana RO

Some greek or russian

UK English

Magyar

Portugues

US English

Nederlands

Türkçe

Slovencina

ROM Info is: (as stated above, so I can confirm it)

R 1.58.09.17

G 25.47.20.01H

D 1.21.00.00
[HTC Wings] bigflavor:
NOOOO!!!

What have I done?!

FYI:

Here's what I have on a model bought from MobilePlanet (aka eXpansys)

R 1.58.17.02

G 25.62.30.03h

D 1.31.00.00
[HTC Wings] butzchan:
Where are you located? Is 3G working on 850/1900/2100 with this rom?

BTW, GREAT FIND BIGFLAVOR!!
[HTC Wings] Dumdidum:
Hi

I'm located in Switzerland and have the 3G-Logo. But here the coverage is poor, but this afternoon I will go to our capital and then I can tell you if 3G is fully working..
[HTC Wings] rooomish:
The best result will be if you obtain the same behavior as pro model - only one or two satellites without fix = working GPS probably not depends on antenna, only on sw (hope).

Jockyw: pls cook and cook.

Bigfalvor: excellent hit.
[HTC Wings] Dumdidum:
With GPSTest it doesnt recognize the com port com 4
[HTC Wings] NoNco:
cool

N1 m8 and thanks for NAPALM FTP Indexer. Thats a nice search engine/indexer for FTP, Very cool ...
[HTC Wings] jockyw2001:
I am cooking 2 meals right at this moment :D

Seems to work well ! Will upload results to XDA soon.

@Dumdidum:

You should have flashed this new ROM in parts. First OS and then radio. It would have been very interesting to see if the radio is sufficient to get GPS going. Anyways you will be a good tester when it comes to flashing my cooked pre-prod OS :)

I have just finished cooking the pre-production OS, please download "Wings-cooked-OS-pre-prod.zip" from XDA FTP and flash OS.nbh with the attched RUU Updater. Put OS.nbh in the same directory as the unpacked RUU Updater files.

EDIT:

On the XDA ftp site I just posted the file "Wings-cooked-OS-prod.zip" in /Smartphone/Wings/ROM (Production model)/

I also cooked the pre-prod OS which is file "Wings-cooked-OS-pre-prod.zip" in /Smartphone/Wings/ROM (Pre-production model)/

I also attached the Wings ROM Updater tool which was extracted from the official ROM.
[HTC Wings] jockyw2001:
Cooked pre-prod and prod OS ROMS are finished, see my previous post.

Have fun! perhaps the best idea is that Dumdidum tries first.
[HTC Wings] rooomish:
Great work Jockyw! Maybe the result of your work is adept for new thread aka Try the prepro ROM on your s730 to check if GPS works.

So guys, who will be the first, who will check if pro model with prepro ROM has GPS? Then we can make the mix of both ROMs
[HTC Wings] NoNco:
What you eating, just had a pitza myself.... :cool:
[HTC Wings] qumran:
oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god! I so exited for what is about to come out of this! Thanks to everyone involved and expect a donation when this is completed! :D
[HTC Wings] jockyw2001:
I just flashed the prod OS ROM on my Kaiser and it works fine :D

The only problem is the keyboard mapping :)

I will now flash the pre-prod and let you know if it that also works. Anyone with a HardSPL can then try it on a real WINGS :)

PS: Of course I will test GPS with both ROMs
[HTC Wings] jockyw2001:
I have interesting news :)

I'm running GPSTest.exe inside the prod Wings OS on my Kaiser and I have a fix. This means that if the software is crippled then it must be done in the radio part. That fits exactly with Dumdidum's experience after he flashed the full RUU.

I will now flash the Wings radio and should then no longer have a GPS fix. And then I will post a link to a Kaiser radio which will hopefully give you the long awaited GPS :D

Stay tuned guys.
[HTC Wings] mspizziri:
Sorry I'm still new to this stuff, but I have been following these threads the best I can.

With this new update is there any way we could check if this would enable 3G as well as GPS
[HTC Wings] Dumdidum:
Mate I'm ready to test... which should I exactly test?
[HTC Wings] jockyw2001:
I'm glad you're there. Stay tuned, in 10 minutes I will upload a radio rom which should hopefully give you GPS and all band 3G on your Wings. I now know it is not the OS but the radio. Just wait. Brb.
[HTC Wings] Dumdidum:
Sorry for beeing nooby, but how can I flash these files?!

I've never used other files than nbf...
[HTC Wings] jockyw2001:
Download the attachment in this post

Then download this Kaiser radio rom:

ftp://xda:xda@ftp.xda-developers.co...ings/Radio-Kaiser/radio-kaiser-1.27.12.11.zip

If it doesn't work you can restore the current original Wings radio. You find it here:

ftp://xda:xda@ftp.xda-developers.co...(Production model)/radio-wings-1.58.09.17.zip

Unzip it and put the file "radio-kaiser-1.27.12.11.nbh" in the same directory as the ROMUpdate utility. To flash simply start the ROM updater ROMUpdateUtility.exe and flash the radio. After booting test GPS with GPSTest.exe (attached)
[HTC Wings] Dumdidum:
Ok testing now
[HTC Wings] Dumdidum:
Hm Update Progress stays long at 0%... then it says "Error"

Recovery is not needed
[HTC Wings] Dumdidum:
The exakt error ist:

ERROR[262] UPDATE ERROR

... communication errors...
[HTC Wings] jockyw2001:
Because you are not running the HardSPL and security kicks in.

Get the HardSPL from the sticky or click right here.
[HTC Wings] Dumdidum:
Thanks testing...

It cannot damage my Wing, the ROM of the kaiser, does it?
[HTC Wings] jockyw2001:
Nope, and with HardSPL you have a better life insurance
[HTC Wings] Dumdidum:
Hm sh..t...

Same while flashing the hardspl...

Connection error?!
[HTC Wings] jockyw2001:
Try to flash the other radio (radio-wings-1.58.09.17.nbh)

That's the one you have currently installed, but I just wonna see if it gives the same error.
[HTC Wings] Dumdidum:
Not working either... Same behavior

Strange...
[HTC Wings] jockyw2001:
So you could flash HardSPL but you can't flash radio? Weird, I can flash both radios without a problem on my Kaiser.

Try rebooting and try another USB port.

( I always flash by putting the phone in tri-color bootloader mode, maybe you can try that as well)
[HTC Wings] Dumdidum:
Nope I cannot flash both... very weird...

I've always used the tri-color-screen before starting to flash... :-(

strange...

I've now tested to flash the whole package of the first post... that's working...
[HTC Wings] Dumdidum:
One question: when I unpack that 1.21.405-rom (posting), I have one single nbh-file with 94MB size...

Is in that radio and rom?
[HTC Wings] jockyw2001:
Aha, but could you flash HardSPL ? Please answer this question.

If it is installed it shows "SPL 0.91-Hard" in the tri-color screen.

If it is not installed please follow my post in the sticky. You can't flash anything because your current SPL does not bypass security.
[HTC Wings] jockyw2001:
Yes, that's a full rom with both radio and OS
[HTC Wings] Dumdidum:
No I could not flash the hard-spl

I still have SPL-1.20.0000...

Very strange... above it hast a "Security Unlocked"-Label
[HTC Wings] Dumdidum:
Ok I will try to do all you've written in the sticky... think that will do it
[HTC Wings] jockyw2001:
Yes, but afaik the only thing not unlocked are the rom update signature checks done by SPL (which changed to 1.20.0000 after your full RUU)
[HTC Wings] Alcaline:
I would try this, is there is a secure way of getting the unit back to normal if everything gets ****ed up..
[HTC Wings] jockyw2001:
If you have HardSPL installed you can always flash the full RUU. You can also flash the prod OS which I have cooked earlier this evening.
[HTC Wings] Dumdidum:
Ok Hard SPL flashed now after using that Jump SPL...

Now testing to flash Kaiser Radio

*Edit* Kaiser Radio succesfully flashed - Testing GPS
[HTC Wings] Dumdidum:
He finds a GPS-Device at com 4 but no fix yet
[HTC Wings] jockyw2001:
I have to do these tests always outdoors. And first time it takes a longer time.

GPSTest.exe on Kaiser with Wings OS and Kaiser radio shows:

In View: 11

In Use: 8

Fix: 3D

Also it shows my coordinates, speed and time correctly
[HTC Wings] Dumdidum:
I'll test it
[HTC Wings] Dumdidum:
I've coded my own application which is showing the NMEA data... but no satellites in sight...

It's 1 am here so I'm going to sleep and will test it tomorrow outdoors...
[HTC Wings] jockyw2001:
Good night :)
[HTC Wings] bigflavor:
Wow... a whole lotta progress... and to think, I was working all day :p

I'm not too familiar with ROMs and stuff but here's what I've gathered (please confirm):

1) There are two parts of the system; the radio ROM and the OS ROM

2) You can't flash another device's OS ROM, but you can flash another device's radio ROM

3) There is no way, or it is unnecessary to pinpoint the portion of the radio ROM that affects frequency bands and GPS; since any radio ROM can be flashed to any device

Point 3 is my main concern, as, if it's false, then is there a way to do this?

Jocky, were you able to get 850/1900 3G working with the radio ROM from your Kaiser? Is this even possible?

Also (and this is gonna be real n00bish), do these cooked ROMs have all the shiny HTC stuff in them?

Awesome work! Can't wait!

Thanks,

Matt
[HTC Wings] jockyw2001:
1) yes

2) it depends and you have to test it, which u can do safely with HardSPL installed. I ran Wings OS and also Wings radio on my Kaiser. I don't own a Wings so unfortunately can't test Kaiser roms on Wings.

3) no need for pinpointing, just test

Didn't test

On my Kaiser I just installed Dutty's v4 RFM and yes it is nice and shiny
[HTC Wings] rooomish:
Hi jockyw. Before Dumdidum waking up.

On the other side - if you flash the radio part from s730 to your Kaiser - do you lose the GPS function?
[HTC Wings] jockyw2001:
Yes, I tried that and unfortunately I'm *not* losing the function. I have now no explanation why Dumdidum lost his GPS by flashing full Wings RUU.

He should be woken up and continue testing :D

On the other hand, you can also safely start testing. As you know you can fall back to the Wings RUU and also my cooked reconstructed prod ROM works fine. Give it a try, but make sure you have HardSPL installed !!!
[HTC Wings] rooomish:
I am not owner of s730 yet - I have been waiting if the problem with GPS is solved. The same day I will buy it ;).
[HTC Wings] norwegianS730:
dumdidum reports his findings in this post : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=356295&page=4
[HTC Wings] Dumdidum:
Dumdidum just woke up (yeah long sleep for me :-p)

Nothing new. No fix with Kaiser ROM.

With the Full RUU, I am not only the FIX, but the whole COM4 access...
[HTC Wings] rooomish:
So what is missing now is flash full prepro ROM to production s730 by somebody.

If it will not help - it means HW problem.
[HTC Wings] jockyw2001:
@Dumdidum:

Please download my cooked pre-prod OS ROM and try it with both Kaiser and Wings radio:

* OS-only ROM pre-production model

* OS-only ROM production model

I'm still working on a radio ROM dumper and also I'm trying to reconstruct radio ROM from the QPST ram dump. So you will have to wait for that until a full pre-prod ROM can be flashed.
[HTC Wings] Dumdidum:
I'll test it right now
[HTC Wings] Dumdidum:
I've installed the cooked pre-prod-ROM and couldnt to anything. The keys werent responding :-/ also if I took the other keyboard (which didnt work either), the screen didnt rotate...

Trying to install the cooked prod rom
[HTC Wings] Dumdidum:
thanks for the prod rom!

Still no fix at Com4... with kaiser-radio

retrying the pre prod cooked rom... hope keyboard will work now :-)
[HTC Wings] jockyw2001:
Ok, I haven't tried the pre-prod. Thx for the feedback.

Maybe something went wrong with "cooking".

Will retry the process and upload a new version later today.
[HTC Wings] rooomish:
Dumdidum, jockyw. Thanks for testing, please keep on going!
[HTC Wings] Dumdidum:
One good news and one bad news:

The good: GPS is now all of a sudden running here.

The bad news: With every ROM/Radio (except the RUU_Wings_HTC_WWE_1.21.405.0_R_radio_sign_25.47.20 .01_1.58.09.17_Test).

This means that it seems not to be something with Software, but hardware...

GPS is not that good, I get 9 visible and 5-6 in use, and in a room I have 0... My other GPS device has 3 in the same room and 9 in use...

I had to leave the GPS about 15 minutes with free sight until it started to get the GPS data...
[HTC Wings] jockyw2001:
Sorry, you need to clarify. Please list the configurations where it works (radio+OS versions)
[HTC Wings] qumran:
Thanks for all the good work everybody! I have a prod-model and I am trying to install a kaiser rom but it only says wrong model number? How come?
[HTC Wings] jockyw2001:
Install HardSPL

@Dumdidum: I fail to see any logic in what you just posted. Please be more precise.

@All: is there no one amongst you who has some guts? Why is no one flashing another radio?

I am uploading a new cooked version of the pre-prod OS rom here. Will be up in about 10 minutes.
[HTC Wings] Dumdidum:
Me too :-p

I will now flash again any possible combination and test it again. After flashing I have to wait several minutes to get GPS-Data, I noticed. Think that's why I didnt have had a fix yesterday...

The GPS hardware seems to be very poor
[HTC Wings] norwegianS730:
jockyw2001: we appriciate your work, by all means:)

maybe most of us are unsure of the correct way of installing sspl, hardspl and so forth because this procedure have been explained in several different threads and may seem a bit confusing.if we could get an short step by step explanation with files linked, more off us would have the guts ;)

by the way, dumdidums last post didnt make any sense too me either.
[HTC Wings] qumran:
I did install hardSpl already. Your cooked rom works... Strange
[HTC Wings] jockyw2001:
Ah I see what you are trying to do. First a warning: never try to flash a full rom from another model. Only try a radio rom. You have to open it in a hex editor and at offset 0x40 change KAIS***** to WING*****

@Dumdidum: much appreciated :)

I'm now flashing the 2nd version of the cooked pre-prod OS on my Kaiser :D

EDIT: tested it. It boots and configures a couple of times but unfortunately it doesn't react on any button or key. Same experience as Dumdidum
[HTC Wings] Dumdidum:
But the way what I wanted to say is, that GPS seems to work now with every radio I installed!

So it seems that I have something Hardware-related in my preproduction Model, which production models dont have. Why else can I use GPS with kaiser and wings Radio, but others dont?

I am now again testing kaiser and wings radio with the cooked ROM (25.47.20.01H)

Test1:

G 25.47.20.01H = cooked production ROM

R 1.58.09.17 = Wings

D 1.21.00.00

Comment: Device randomly "freezed" while using GPS.

Result: GPS is running
[HTC Wings] rooomish:
!!!Thanks for testing all possible combination. Better poor GPS then nothing. It seems also that you have been patient to wait for possible fix with every combination!
[HTC Wings] Dumdidum:
Test 2:

G 22.45.88.07H

R 1.27.12.11

D 1.21.00.00

ROM does not work! No Keyboard, seems frozen
[HTC Wings] jockyw2001:
That's with the pre-prod cooked OS rom and the Kaiser radio right?

Yes, I also noticed that there is not any key or button working after I flashed it on my Kaiser.

Your test1 was after flashing RUU_Wings_HTC_WWE_1.21.405.0_R_radio_sign_25.47.20 .01_1.58.09.17_Test right?
[HTC Wings] Dumdidum:
Test 3:

G 25.47.20.01H

R 1.58.09.17

D 1.21.00.00

= RUU_Wings_HTC_WWE_1.21.405.0_R_radio_sign_25.47.20 .01_1.58.09.17_Test

COM 4 does respond now (didnt yesterday at first time flashing!), and GPS is working!
[HTC Wings] Dumdidum:
nope:

G 25.47.20.01H = cooked production ROM

R 1.58.09.17 = Wings Radio

D 1.21.00.00
[HTC Wings] qumran:
Thanks! That worked! What happens and what are the dangers of flashing the os from kaiser on wings? I was thinking to flash Dutty's Hybrid NO.7b NON-TouchFlo Final [NO-CUBE].zip onto my wings. Is that a bad idea?
[HTC Wings] qumran:
No fix on prod-model with cooked pro-rom and kaiser radio-rom. Found 1 - 2 satellites .
[HTC Wings] jockyw2001:
Does Wings have touch screen? I'm afraid not.

After all tests performed by Dumdidum and qumran I am more and more convinced that HTC dropped the antenna or whatever chip in the production model :(
[HTC Wings] Dumdidum:
Yes me too :-( Unfortunately...

Ok I have one :-p

Will do other test tomorrow, have no good gps coverage here in my room and it's late and cold outside :-p
[HTC Wings] rooomish:
Yes it is important to finish all the SW combination possibilities. If the result is not be OK, then we will have to start to find the HW way, f.e. where to attach "probably the little piece of wire" or something else inside of s730.

@BugBoy - Do not forget, make the pictures and try to describe the proper way of disassembling the s730
[HTC Wings] jockyw2001:
One of the SW combinations which isn't yet explored is the comparison of NV items (configuration area). I have just started with that.
[HTC Wings] jockyw2001:
I compared NV item dumps of Kaiser, pre-prod Wings and prod Wings.

NV item stands for Non Volatile configuration item and is kind of a registry database for the radio ROM.

I made a very interesting discovery and I think this is the solution !! :)

It's NV item 148 called "NV_RF_CONFIG_I"

For Kaiser and pre-prod Wings the value is:

NV item: 148 [NV_RF_CONFIG_I], index 0

NV_RF_CONFIG_I 0: 11

and for production Wings it is:

NV item: 148 [NV_RF_CONFIG_I], index 0

NV_RF_CONFIG_I 0: 0b

With QPST program "RF NV Item Manager" I wrote the production Wings value of NV item 148 to my Kaiser and tried GPS and guess what? No fix :D

Then I reset it to the original value and yes, got a fix again !

To be sure I tried this again and the behaviour is systematic :)

So guys, who is the first to enable GPS on his production model??

And then let the donations pour in. I want a Wings for myself :D
[HTC Wings] norwegianS730:
great work. and how do we use this qpst SW when we edit ? thanks in advance
[HTC Wings] jockyw2001:
I suppose you can read and click links? :)
