[HTC Wings] joy.d:
hehe :-) read yes, follow links yes too.. but really understand - no :-)

I have a prod wings german version, and i have the moto drivers (*.inf Files) and the QPST program installed, but no idea how i get into bootloader Mode so that the PC switch to the new hardware wizard for the Moto drivers and build new COM Ports for flashing :-):-)

EDIT: ENTER Bootloader: press and hold camera and then power on.

But hell :-) always when i put the USB Cable into my pc the Bootloader Screen on the wings change from serial to USB.. not really good for the Moto drivers.. ??? (no serial hardware detection on PC, no COM Port right?) and what is mtty? listen lika a terminal program?

time to go to bed :-)
[HTC Wings] grojulius:
I'm trying that immediatly on my prod wings, but my mtty seems to freeze .. don't know why
[HTC Wings] faerynix:
I wanted to try what jockyw2001 said, but I couldn't get QPST to see my phone. I put it in boot loader mode, but QPST just wouldn't see it. I also tried to install the driver but Windows refused to accept it. Any short guide on how to do it?
[HTC Wings] grojulius:
Something weird on my phone too ...

I've booted in tri-color mode starting the phone with the camera button pressed. I've usb written on the phone.

I can lauch mtty, but every command I type return "Command error !!!", so I can't have the RF NV Item program running.

Did I make something wrong ??

edit : if I understand well, I have to flash HardSPL in order to execute theses commands, right ?
[HTC Wings] bigflavor:
Call me crazy, but isn't it likely that this same thing would work for all devices with built-in gps chipsets? If that's true, then you should be able to spend your days cooking ROMs and writing tutorials on how to do this in Vista. :D

[edit]

Wiki updated (with Jocky's donation link). I think the Wiki is starving for a tutorial.
[HTC Wings] joy.d:
you´re not crazy, when you talk romall devices with the qualcomm chipset :-) But some people have the problem to switch into the right mode :-) Like me, i don´t know what is mtty and how to i switch the wings to serial mode, that is neccersary to become virtual com ports? ( or i wrong?)
[HTC Wings] qumran:
I also have problem with mtty. I have installed HardSPL and i boot into tricolor mode and have installed QPST but that program doesn't find my Wings and mtty doesn't find it either. I have unchecked usb-sync in active sync as i read but what more?
[HTC Wings] asimolo76:
Bad News From Htc

Same answer from htc ........

Dear Sir, ??????? Thank you for contacting HTC Europe. There will never be an update to enable GPS functionality on the s730. Although the chipset would allow GPS functionality there is no other hardware like a GPS antenna. If you wish a handset that does have GPS functionality you could try our new Touch Cruise or the TyTn 2. Thank you for your enquiry, Should you have any other problem, please do not hesitate to call us. Your Local number can be found at http://www.europe.htc.com/support/csbyphone.html Best regards, Paul HTC Europecallservice@htceurope.com http://www.htc.com

:mad::mad:

Will be true ???? Or just want to sell other models? :confused:
[HTC Wings] shadow2000:
Nice one.

But i do not understand, why to add chipset with GPS and then to remove the antenna.

But like i read the Chipset is able to get a Signal without antenna? I'm right?

Poor signal but a signal!
[HTC Wings] joy.d:
hmm thats crazy, "only" the chipset cannot receive a gps signal. GPS is a very small (weak?) signal, you need always a active antenna to receive a gps signal. and the antenna is normally minimum 1cm to 0,3cm dimensions. Sometimes is a wonderthing between or into the case of a mobile, or is high integrated.. so i´m waiting for the solutions how you can rebuild a gps antenna if they really not into the wings.

maybe htc disabled gps into the wings, so they have not good enough signal quality for her gps, and they would not become bad news with a device that has gps enabled but is not selective enough for e.g. a typical Sirf III gold chipset..

:-) maybe

i bought the device only as i read a half year before that is has gps inside.

without is it not interesting for me and my customers..
[HTC Wings] mpattonm:
Pals, has anyone been able to confirm Jockys finding yet?

I am starting to have a feeling that "GPS is not there" fact has two causes - GPS antena components removed from final HW Wings BOM (as cost down solution - very common for chinese mfgrs) followed up by deactivated GPS interface via system setting (in NV RAM).

If this is true, even a crippled Wings might get lock-on upon NV RAM setting change. probably weak signal, lock to just 2-3 satelites, but COM port would feed a real data, not white noise garbage. This could be the way how to find out.

Do not wait for me, but I am getting my Wings next week and will do the testing myself then. If thats working, first part of donation is on the way promptly. Second batch follows when missing SMD component and its placement is identified :)

I keep my fingers crossed!
[HTC Wings] widfeldt:
I will test tonight...

The only thing stopping me from testing right away is that I don't have a USB cable at work....

I will test when I come home tonight.
[HTC Wings] Dumdidum:
I wish you are right with this, but disabling something is always easier than enabling it :-)
[HTC Wings] asimolo76:
?????

i can't connect my htc s730 via usb to QPST ? help me and i try this way .....
[HTC Wings] duncan1976:
i've read the 3d twice but i have question...

if i'll flash my italian wings with

ftp://xda:xda@ftp.xda-developers.co...oduction model)/Wings-cooked-OS-pre-prod2.zip

what will i found? the gps enabled?

second question...i must flash with the kaiser audio rom before?

3rd question...using this coocked OS resolve the ram problem?
[HTC Wings] widfeldt:
As I understand it you should not need to flash any rom at all.

All that is needed is to modify the NV item using the QPST "RF NV Item manager".

Isn't that correct?
[HTC Wings] Dumdidum:
As far as our tests are: no gps wont be enabled.
[HTC Wings] faerynix:
So can anyone please post or link to a guide on how to use QPST? That's what's preventing me to check whether the NV parameter is what's missing.
[HTC Wings] norwegianS730:
pleeeease post a summary (writeup) of how to use the QPST and mtty. cant get mtty to detect my phone. we need a quick guide before donation :-)
[HTC Wings] el_lo:
Jocky, my production phone has 11 at 148 : NV_RF_CONFIG_I :eek: :(
[HTC Wings] jockyw2001:
That's correct :)

11 decimal == 0xb hex

Now type 17 and then "Write NV" button

Then exit NV Item manager and read again and check if the value has really changed to 17
[HTC Wings] el_lo:
OMG it's hexa :rolleyes:

/stupid me :o
[HTC Wings] jockyw2001:
So stick to decimal data (which is the default) and enter 17, then "Write NV", then exit NV manager. Then restart NV item manager and read phone items again. Was the value changed to 17???

If yes, then reboot the phone (take battery out and restart) and go outside to find a fix :)

If the value was unchanged then I need to do more research :D

(on my Kaiser I can change all NV items and I can effectively disable GPS by changing the value from 17 (kaiser's default) to 11 (Wings prod default). GPSTest then behaves exactly like yours.
[HTC Wings] faerynix:
Could you please post or link to a post that describes how to link the phone to QPST? I tried in bootloader mode, but it wouldn't see the phone. I have found no place where to install the driver attached earlier.
[HTC Wings] jockyw2001:
Quote from the linked thread:

Dump NV Items

Then exit MTTY let the drivers install and use NV item manager from the QPST suite to read/write NV items. Somewhere in that thread thwere was a link, otherwise search.
[HTC Wings] el_lo:
Meh, no, Wings doesn't seem to keep the good value in NV :( When I restart the phone or RF NV Item Manager, the value is back to 0b
[HTC Wings] faerynix:
I type rtask c (and I understand nothing needs to echo at this point) but once I close mtty nothing happens. Do I need to have HardSPL installed first?
[HTC Wings] Surfboomerang:
Dumdidum, I don't get your solution.... you mean if we flash the device with version RUU_Wings_HTC_WWE_1.21.405.0_R_radio_sign_25.47.20 .01_1.58.09.17 we have GPS working?
[HTC Wings] jockyw2001:
No worries, just more research to be done :)

Tell me, please look up the version numbers of RF NV Item manager and also of the diagnostics COM port driver. Post them both here. Thx.
[HTC Wings] sat_ana:
No, Dumdidum has a pre-prod 730 with gps enabled :)

Regards
[HTC Wings] Surfboomerang:
ah..now i get it :)

I also will try the possible solution from Jocky (with great thanks for his research) this evening.
[HTC Wings] jockyw2001:
Oh yes definitely install HardSPL. It's also written that this is nothing for n00bs :)
[HTC Wings] faerynix:
I think I'll just wait for others to try it first, I'm not experienced enough to risk bricking this phone.
[HTC Wings] jockyw2001:
Just to summarize the current status:

el_lo attempted to change the NV item #148 value from 11 to 17. However, the new value isn't stored. The same happens on Niki (they also cannot activate GPS) and a friend xperiences same as el_lo. Perhaps a wrong driver version or NV item manager version causes this problem.

On Kaiser I can both read and update NV items.

So it's time to get back to the drawing board :D
[HTC Wings] el_lo:
QPST 2.7 build 247 with RF NV Manager 1.4.16, can't look for the driver version right now, I will post it in a few minutes.

EDIT:: Qualcomm Diagnostic Interface Driver version 2.0.2.0X from 25/03/2004
[HTC Wings] jockyw2001:
el_lo:

please search for QC "QXDM" and try it with that program instead of QPST RF NV item manager. Start QXDM and select NV Browser and in settings select the COM port (make sure your phone is in diag mode via "rtask c"). Then read the item 00148 and change the field called "Input" to 0x11 and then click "Write". Click "Read" to check if the value really changed.
[HTC Wings] NoNco:
mm

Is this it

hxxp://rs98.rapidshare.com/files/42997723/QXDM_3.9.19.zip
[HTC Wings] el_lo:
Sorry Jocky, same behaviour, the value isn't saved and it stays at b :(
[HTC Wings] jockyw2001:
Ok, thx for testing. Somehow I have done something to my Kaiser so that it can write NV items, I just can't remember exactly what. I vaguely remember I downloaded an application called CDMA_Workshop and that I once sent a 16-digit unlocking password "FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF" which was good.

See here. I also played with the SPC code and sent the 6-digit code "000000" which was also good. Maybe you should give that a try!

That application also requires you to put phone in diag mode first (rtask c).
[HTC Wings] Surfboomerang:
call me a n00b, but how can I show a COM4 in the QPST tool?

I started the bootloader on my wings and connected it through USB. I modified activesync to not use USB or COM ports.

In the port configuration tool I can see COM 1 and 2 and i can add a COM 3. If I add the port it says, No phone attached.

If I start MTTY and choose the USB port I can't run the rtasks c command.

What did I do wrong?
[HTC Wings] el_lo:
I changed my password and SPC code, both succesfully, with CDMA Workshop.

After that, I tried to change the "148" NV value with both RF NV Item Manager and with QXDM, but the problem stays, and the new value can't be saved :(

@SurfBoomerang : go to your Windows task manager and look which COM port is used for the diagnostic interface. There you will see the right COM port number ;)

EDIT:: SurfBoomerang, I meant Windows DEVICE Manager, sorry. Look under COM ports.
[HTC Wings] Surfboomerang:
you don't mean my windows taskmanager right? if you do... where can I see the right COM port.

btw, the only extra port I can choose in QPST is the Com 3
[HTC Wings] jockyw2001:
Try this:

1. enter 16-digit password FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF and click Send

2. in SPC select NV_write from drop down and enter 000000 and then click SPC

3. exit CDMA WS

4. start QXDM and try to change item 148 to 0x11
[HTC Wings] el_lo:
We're not using the same version of CDMA it seems.

The latest official demo won't let me open my COM7:(.

I'm now searching for another version of CDMA WS.

EDIT:: I found another version of CDMA which is almost like you said (no NV_Write in the dropdown, but a send and a write button). I think it worked better because it said the configuration of my phone had changed. When that was done, I tried with QXDM and with RF NV Item Manager but neither could save the 0x11 value. I tried before, and after a softreset of the phone :( You must have done something else to your Kaiser jocky... :confused:
[HTC Wings] rooomish:
You are very very near! Hang in!
[HTC Wings] jockyw2001:
Yes, you can't imagine what i did with it the past 2 months :D

Anyhow, we will find a solution soon.
[HTC Wings] delta-101:
I have been following this thread with interest, and can confirm one thing.. I have just performed this NV Manager change on my Kaiser, (Item 148) and it DOES write to phone... so looks like if it is not writing to the wings, then it is for some other reason. I certainly have not done anything special here..

Dont know if that helps?
[HTC Wings] Surfboomerang:
If I connect my bluetooth stick there is a COM8 added to my ports in the device manager. I am able to select that port in QPST, but that is not the port where the phone is on.

The problem is that if I connect my phone to my PC through USB, I don't see an extra port in the device list. Driver problem?
[HTC Wings] jockyw2001:
Excellent. Yes that certainly helps.

Now I know what to look for. Thx.

Can you write down the version number of RF NV Item manager pls.

And I suppose you only have olipof Hardspl installed on ur kaiser?
[HTC Wings] delta-101:
RF NV Manager Ver 1.4.16 Build 2.7

Yes, correct..
[HTC Wings] jockyw2001:
Ok, since NV items are stored in NAND, the protection is either by locked NAND pages or there is some kind of security flag set somewhere :confused:
[HTC Wings] Juggels:
I'm not 100% sure it has something to do with this, but I have also noticed the same behaviour with registry settings being restored upon a soft reset. Maybe the Wings somehow always restores a 'safe' setting at boot-time?
[HTC Wings] el_lo:
SurfBoomerang, I edited my previous answer ! I think your problem now is just that you skip the mtty part. (search for mtty program, and type " rtask c " as command). Then Windows will ask you for the drivers jocky posted (search for "motoq drivers").
[HTC Wings] Surfboomerang:
I did start the MTTY program. Connected to the USB port en typed rtask c. The answer I get is Command Error !!!

and after that:

CMD>
[HTC Wings] jockyw2001:
Install HardSPL ... sigh
[HTC Wings] Surfboomerang:
whoops... sorry :o
[HTC Wings] faerynix:
Somewhat offtopic: is flashing HardSPL on your device reason to void the warranty? Can it be replaced with the original SPL in case something goes wrong?
[HTC Wings] NoNco:
ok

OK iv managed to catch up to you guys, same here, cant change the 148 to 17 etc...
[HTC Wings] playerkiller:
Can people with pre-production radio write the values?
[HTC Wings] sat_ana:
Yes :(

Regards
[HTC Wings] playerkiller:
And what about people with production version with pre-production radio flashed?

Just to know if problems resides on radio rom or hardware factory settings. If people with prepro version can write this means it's not a driver problem.

Means it's an hardware issue. Probably nothing related with rom. Anyone with pre-production unit can post a complete description of the platform settings?

After all protection can resides in hardware settings or rom settings. Nowhere else.

Right?
[HTC Wings] walram:
I tried flashing the pre prod NV items with the QPST software download utility, but it doesn't allow you to do that. You can save the NV items in a qcn file, but you cannot restore them. Maybe someone can make a flash-file with the entire radio (RUU)? I'll be happy to try...
[HTC Wings] playerkiller:
walram, this means writing NV items is disabled on wings models, or drivers are not all that correct. The problems can reside in both (however, my guess is the proeblem does have something to do with wings hardware). We should find full Qualcomm specs to know that. Any idea?

I'm in the market for a new launcher. I've used the Go Launcher for years and it's been a great launcher, but the past several updates have gotten more and more resource heavy. It's a great launcher on a newer tablet, but not so much on an old workhorse like my Nook HD+. It would be great if I could just find an older version of Go, but I can only find the newest version on the Play Store. Does anyone have any suggestions for a good, lightweight launcher I can try on my old tablet?

Thanks.
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] digixmax:
You can find some old versions of many android apps at http://en.uptodown.com/android -- e.g., for your Go Launcher: http://go-launcher-ex.en.uptodown.com/android.

[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bfollowell:
Thanks for your reply. I had thought of looking for an older version of GO, but the problem with that is that then it's always going to want to update. I too have been running Nova Launcher for the past few days and it seems much smoother.
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nmyshkin:
I second the Nova Launcher which runs great on my even more ancient Nook Tablet.

I have a number of apps "frozen" and you should not discount that as a possible "solution". Just access the PlayStore on your tablet and go to "My Apps". Selecting an app you are taken to its page and in the upper right corner are 3 dots. They access a checkbox for "autoupdate". You can uncheck this and the app will no longer autoupdate. The trick is to do this

before

you replace the newer version with an older version. You get reminders of updates available from the PlayStore but it will never update those apps in the background without your approval.

Also, a few apps like ES File Explorer (talk about bloatware on the newer versions!) have a selection in Settings to check for updates. That also needs to be unchecked. So maybe look at that with Wi-Fi off at first.

Write the G950W firmware, this will provision the device as XAA

Write the G950U and Sprint userdata file
