That is an awesome find man. I hope this info is used to get a wifi working ROM.

I thought it was some kind of cost saving to not include wifi, i.e. some missing hardware. If it's just a driver, that is the so friggen stupid! Why have such a great phone and then neuter it by taking away wifi? And the price is still just as high as the Artemis when it came out. The lack of wifi is the only thing that would keep me from buying one. Otherwise, it would be a great upgrade phone for me since I don't need nor have 3G with my service and and it has the cool flush screen that I wish my Artemis had.
[P3470 General] VOODOOS!L:
someone knows if the touch dual then also could have the wifi option turned on by drivers? the touch normal has wifi, so i guess it should be possible.

anyone tried the drivers from the htc wizard? it also has a ti omap 850, so driver from such a rom could be coocked into the rom of other devices.
[P3470 General] avathar behemoth:
@VOODOOS!L

The touch dual uses the Qualcomm 7200 chipset. That chipset uses the arm926tesj as a co processor but i dont think its the full OMAP 850 chiset.

but there is a project for enabling niki wifi (started out as a project ot enabkle both wifi and gps)

@shawndh

Phone manufacterors do it all the time. Look at the Kaiser story, yes they have some great graphical chip (would be too expensive to make a different chiset with another graphical chip) so they just didnt include the drivers for it.

With some other phones like the touch HTC disabled the wifi in the radio rom... maybe some techies here could try to put an artemis radio rom in the pharos... but for none techies this would probably be an instant brick (thats why i didnt try it) tom_codon maybe you could say something about this....input would be apreciated.
[P3470 General] shawndh:
Come to think of it, I remember that they had a crippled GPS radio or something in the TyTn I. The only reason I could think of for disabling wifi is so people who need wifi would buy the the Artemis. To be honest, if I had a choice btwn the two, I would get the Pharos over the Artemis if they both had wifi. Even so, it should still have wifi.
[P3470 General] lord2654:
This ia a good news.

I'm waiting.
[P3470 General] avathar behemoth:
you know what... im giving up.

ive tried pm ing some guys working on the wifi on nike project, asking tomcodon. no response as yet and prolly not going to get one.

And tried to get qtopia and winlizard(gizard) working.

but in the linux world up is down, left is right, and smart is stupid. those people are (in dutch: contactgestoord) communicationally challenged. you cant find anything on their sites. there is no(or very little) documentation on how stuff works ...noone explains anything... so in order to learn linux you have to know it.

thats why m$ can afford to be so sucky: their competition sucks so much more :D

i said to the guys at irc #linzwizard hey thnx for the build, i can boot it too (gizard aka linwizard 0.3.0) but the touchscreen driver crashes.

he then said make a support request at sourceforge which i did (btw it isnt obvious how to .. it should be very simple. but hey... thats the linux way, isnt it) response was.. and this is a shocker.. your touchscreen driver doesnt work(.... grrreeeaat) you should disable it...(no description on how)
[P3470 General] piero81:
up for the rom with wifi for the pharos!

Thanks
[P3470 General] Fenris_uy:
Not to rain on anyone parade but from the first page from TI, it looks like to get wifi support you have to have a special chip in the phone(upper left corner) thats diferent that the chip to get wifi, so unless someone knows for sure that the WiLink chips are present, I think we are without wifi :(
[P3470 General] arthur.yu.cn:
Wait and see...

The only problem is... How long does it take to finalize such a ROM?

If it takes 1 yr, for example, I think I will have already changed to at least TouchHD..

Anyway, good news!
[P3470 General] Kostyan63:
Hello! I have a HTC Pharos for one month. Yesterday, i accidentally have wetted phone by tea, and then i disassembled it for cleaning. Cleaning was finish sucсessfully, now phone is working :)

During disassembly of the device I have made some pictures. I think Wlan module is in the device. Look at the photo! Motherboard have many connectors for external antennas, and Wlan connector is on the board!

http://www.flash-remont.narod.ru/pharos/pharos.jpg
[P3470 General] avathar behemoth:
thank you for the picture, its in a good resolution! but what would have made it more clear is if you would have looked for a specific Texas instruments chip with letter combinaton BRF or BL (there are 4 chips mentioned with a dual solution BL6450 BRF 6350 BRF6300 and BRF6150 last one is not good because its a bluetooth only chip) we should also be looking for TI chips with a WL designation and number 1271 1273 1251 1253

at least (BRF6300) - Bluetooth specification v2.0 + EDR single chip should be in the Pharos since we have that bluetooth spec.

in the picture i can make out the TWL3027 chip with extra designation BZQW (at least i think its that chip ... according to the ti site that would be the baseband chip but it doesnt describe on the site what the extra letters mean)http://focus.ti.com/general/docs/wtbu/wtbuproductcontent.tsp?templateId=6123&navigationId=12311&contentId=4706

[P3470 General] avathar behemoth:
Kostyan could you post the other pics you made of the interior of the Pharos
[P3470 General] Kostyan63:
Maybe this iron box is Wlan module?

http://flash-remont.narod.ru/pharos/pharos2.jpg

I may open this box, if it is requires for this research :)

And on this picture, front side of device it is found Wlan antenna? (if overwind board, supposed Wlan module with connector correspond (matched) to on position with Wlan antenna, and it connected with module)

[P3470 General] avathar behemoth:
thnx for the pictures (nr 5 is mangled pls post that one again) but i cant make out a lot... most of the chips are fully or partially covered....and we do need to know if those lan chips are there or are absent.

if anyone has a bricked Pharos (or better yet a repair shop) pls give some input as to what is present!
[P3470 General] avathar behemoth:
Maybe you can open those boxes kostyan... if youd like.. im really curious what is under those metal covers and also im wandering what the chip next to the sirf chip is

good luck if youre attempting it
[P3470 General] Kostyan63:
Ok :) I will open this metal boxes in nearest time, now i don't have time for this.

What chip? Look at the "pharos5.jpg" You may highlight the interesting chip on my photos, and upload it on some filestorage or send me by e-mail?

Picture "pharos5.jpg" reloaded sucсessful, now you may download it without any troubles.
[P3470 General] avathar behemoth:
hope this works ive marked the interesting area's/chips... pretty much all of them :)

here ya go
[P3470 General] dotexe:
the only way to know what is in PHAROS is to find a tehnic scheme (map)
[P3470 General] avathar behemoth:
or to pry it open :)

For us its not necessary to know ALL details. Just to know if there is a wifi/lan chip in it and if so which one.

but if you can get your hands on a technical map/ schematic it would be great!
[P3470 General] Kostyan63:
Hello again! Now i will give you what do you need :))

I has opened all boxes and do some work with reading some letters...... :)

Catch a new image!

http://flash-remont.narod.ru/pharos/pharos9.jpg

And answer the question: There is Wlan is in pharos or not? :)
[P3470 General] avathar behemoth:
Hey Kostyan, thanks a lot for the picture!

and also for your work in identifying the chips in the Pharos!

but as it stands (the Pharos has the BRF 6300) we probably dont have wifi!

the question isnt answered right away though, because:

1) TI have a wifi solution: the WL12x series chips (which could be eeprom chips 6x6 millimeters large)

2) just as we have a SIRF chip for GPS instead of the Navilink (Texas Instruments) chip (NL5x)

Also what type is the Samsung chip? (located above the OMAP 850 chip)

here is what i found so far:

MAX8662

power management chiphttp://www.maxim-ic.com/quick_view2.cfm/qv_pk/5229

8215 (possible but there are many chips called 8215)

cmos analog to digital converter

http://focus.ti.com/lit/ds/sbas272e/sbas272e.pdf

F31236-074 PHILIPINES C4-AMS

unknown dont know by which company it is or what it does

could it be the flash chip??

TWL3027

Digital baseband chip

http://focus.ti.com/general/docs/wtbu/wtbuproductcontent.tsp?templateId=6123&navigationId=12311&contentId=4706

so regrettably the answer as to wheather the Pharos has WIFI is: dont know yet ....
[P3470 General] Kostyan63:
Hi avathar behemoth :) Ti sluchayno ne govorish po russki? a to uje nadoel etot perevod4ik. Если можешь прочитать это, то ответь так же :) :)

Now in english:

The samsung chip is very important? I can't look at this, because it is covered by iron box, and how you understand i can't open it.

On my picture you asked questions, maybe the answer is in this pics? :)

http://ifolder.ru/8772191
[P3470 General] avathar behemoth:
thank you for the pictures!

if the 6272A1 is the infineon PBM6272 RF EDGE transceiver (both transmitter and receiver)

http://www.infineon.com/dgdl/PMB6272_SMARTiPM-pb.pdf?folderId=db3a304412b407950112b408e8c90004&fileId=db3a304412b407950112b40d117b0c94

then im very confused! because from the diagram at the TI site the OMAP 850 has digital baseband built in!

http://focus.ti.com/general/docs/wtbu/wtbuproductcontent.tsp?templateId=6123&navigationId=12310&contentId=4679

the Samsung chip could be the 256 MB NAND flash memory

http://www.samsung.com/global/business/semiconductor/products/flash/Products_NANDFlash.html

then the unnamed chip from the fillipines is probably the 128 MB ddr RAM

on pharos1b.jpg you can see a 3215 labelled chip .. most likely that is a codec chip.

on pharos1c.jpg next to the digital baseband chip (infineon PMB6272A1, right?) there is an unidentifyable chip! according to infineon, the digital baseband chip handles data (not only gsm, gprs, edge but if there is wlan available that also) and i really think that htc just bought that mini board from infineon and plugged it into the motherboard.. thats probably why it looks like a mini board and has a label with a totally different number on it.

there is software available to decrypt the bar code (the square) maybe you could use that (it probably points to a website or contains a list of the ic's in it) so the chance of the Pharos having the ability for WIFI has increased a lot in my opinion.

if the chip next to the 6272 is this one :) (whishfull thinking) http://www.lsi.com/networking_home/networking_products/ethernet/index.html

then we have wifi (infineon had a partnership with agere systems who have become lsi)

oh and ..i cant read russian nor understand it :) pls translate
[P3470 General] shawndh:
If this is the chip that you think it is, how would you get the Wifi to work?
[P3470 General] avathar behemoth:
first thing is to see which chips are in the damned thing.. no wifi chip no wifi... and on this board there are people that can get a chip working...

if the chip is the same as the wifi chip in the artemis and/or the elf the xip and/or (maybe) the spl/ipl could be adapted

oh and most likely i was wrong in thinking it may be the lsi chip, on the infineon site i saw this press release

http://www.infineon.com/cms/en/corporate/press/news/releases/2002/129899.html

stating that for wlan they are working with newlogic.
[P3470 General] avathar behemoth:
ive searched for pics of the artemis internals. and look what i found :)

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=1563972&postcount=5

and

http://www.pdacenter.ru/razborka/razbor_htc_p3300/

what i found is a box/ mini motherboard just like on the pharos (hey it could be on all htc's) on one of the pics.

you can see a greenish thing sticking out (just like on the pic kostyan made). its on page 15 first row on the right (first link).

no guarantee though, from what i could see there is a lot of the same chips but also a few different ones.

no conclusive evidence, still doing some research!

i made some pics of the mini board for your viewing pleasure :)
[P3470 General] Teckynou:
hi there.

here is some pics of my pharos from Orange.

http://membres.lycos.fr/teckynou/XDA/pharos.rar

(right clic on the link, and "save taget as...")
[P3470 General] avathar behemoth:
thank you for the pics,

i see that the chip designated as 6272A1 has more numbers identifiyng it... and doesnt have an infinion logo just a weird "h" like symbol to me it looks like a hyundai logo :) without the circle

anyway ive asked a board member that has a repair shop if he knows where the wifi chip in the artemis is and wheather (because ive noticed that both the artemis and elf as well as the pharos have the same metal box, mini board, where one chip is under a perforated metal covering whereas the gene doesnt have this box and neither does the nike....) the wifi chip is in there.

so ill have to wait for an answer from him
[P3470 General] Mr. Equalizer:
why don´t we try to install the wlan-driver an test it?

i´ve read, that it gave some problems while installing this driver, can we change some code on the driver to get the driver work? i think this, woud be de easiest way to test, if wlan works.

ps. sorry for my bad englisch, i´am german.

greets mr.equalizer
[P3470 General] avathar behemoth:
i have downed the extended rom from one of the artemis (wifi enabled version) and have a file called wifinit.exe. there is also an xml file and i dont know how to put that in the registry or how to get it out. also wifinit may work if its the same wifi chip.. if its a different chip its probably not going to work

ive also got a kaiser (i think it was) driver for the tnetw1251 which seems to be the standard HTC wifi chip (but again its not definitive or certain....

im willing to risk a hard reset... but i would like more answers first ... feel free to try, and pls share the results.

but i accept no liability in any way shape or form, for any loss of data or any damages resulting from use, both proper and inproper, of these files; which after all arent written for the p3470 (so that was a nice bit of legal mumbo jumbo but you get the idea BACKUP FIRST, BE CAREFULL)
[P3470 General] Mr. Equalizer:
had no one tried it?
[P3470 General] life02:
I may try the wifi driver later... the xml file doesn't seem to be needed as it is just a list of preconfigured access points
[P3470 General] life02:
added the driver but unable to import the .reg files needed to recognize the driver. I'm getting a file header error upon import. Will try to manually add the entries to the registry later. Will keep yall updated.
[P3470 General] Wishmaster89:
How's the work progressing? Does it even work?

Have you seen this video?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2LTLNmxf-1w

It seems that it has Wi-Fi inbuilt but inactive and we have to activate it.
[P3470 General] avathar behemoth:
interesting... very bad movie though. says its the update model... the china mobile site is unreadable for me .. tried to get that model but could not find it (couldnt find anything really ... my chinese aint very good :D )

but doesnt constitute proof either way.. just look at the artemis with/without threads.

but still hoping either Poldo or life02 get the wifi driver up and running... then we know!

so you go guys !!:D
[P3470 General] Kostyan63:
Hi avathar behemoth :)

I Went by and accidentally has peeked here :)

And i see what you do not lose hopes about this theme. So, i was entered all keys and values in registry of my Pharos, only i don't understand some strings looks like " "Route"=hex(7):54,4e,45,54,57,31,32,35,31,31,00,00 " What is value "hex(7)"? I enter it how REG_BINARY. But when i export entered keys i will get this: " "Route"=hex:\

54,4E,45,54,57,31,32,35,31,31,00,00 "

I think what it is wrong. Now, with this entered strings how REG_BINARY i get no Wi-Fi, but in list of network adapters i have see new adapter "IEE 802.11b/g Compatible Wi-Fi adapter", and some configuration of Ip addresses :)

What further? I have no ideas...
[P3470 General] avathar behemoth:
WHOOOOOTTTTT!!!! :) dear Kostyan, thats a big step forward!

you should try to make it active. then you wont have a connection but we can see if its a "real" device or something floating in the registry!
[P3470 General] Kostyan63:
I always ready to help! :)

How i may do that? I was installing Comm manager from HTC Atom, it is work with my Pharos, but when i tap Wlan icon, the device starts thinking, but later nothing was happening. The icon becomes white again (Wlan inactive). What i must do now?
[P3470 General] avathar behemoth:
in the windows directory there is a file WLANsettings.exe

if you start that, there is a tab "advanced" and there says 3 things: status MAC and IP. Look if you have an IP and most importantly a MAC adres. if you have a MAC adres then wifi should be present (i could be wrong here though)
[P3470 General] bobatomix:
WLan is not activated, and we can't active it

we have not MAC adress
[P3470 General] Kostyan63:
My answer to this question coincides with this quote.

Looks like the Pharos don't have a Wlan or we must go another way...
[P3470 General] avathar behemoth:
does it have an ip number?

in the artemis the wlan is acivated in the extended rom, which means each time it boots wlan is enabled.

so thats the way to try, bake it into a rom. then when the pharos starts up i think its more likely that a mac adres is read. since there is networking capability in the pharos.. it must have a lan card/chip that must have a mac adres! so in a way its very strange that you have none!

do you have msn kostyan? that also goes for life02,poldo and bobatomix.. if you do pm me pls
[P3470 General] life02:
You entered the hex value correctly... hex 7 is just a type of hex.... as long as the hex value is the same you are good. BTW... that hex entry means TNETW12511
[P3470 General] life02:
Here are my exported wifi registry entries based on the ones posted earlier.. I have not fully checked them yet as I'm too tired right now. You should be able to check and then import these reg files on your pharos. Even after adding these entries I was unable to start the wifi device. No MAC address either. Just wanted to share.
[P3470 General] avathar behemoth:
i see the line:

"Mac_Filter_Enabled"=dword:00000000

shouldnt that be 000001??

its in wifi2.reg

anyway i think were on the right path.. maybe have to clean up the reg settings

if we change "HTCOutputWLANdebugLog"=dword:00000000 into 00000001 would there be a log? wouldnt that be helpfull?

oh and big thanks to life02 for providing this.
[P3470 General] Kostyan63:
There is no ip and no mac adress....

I don't have MSN, but i have ICQ!

if this interesting, my ICQ number is 323481362
[P3470 General] stevedebi:
antenna?

Pardon me if this has already been addressed, but wouldn't the Pharos have to have been built with some kind of antenna for WiFi? Or do they use a common antenna with the BT?
[P3470 General] Mr. Equalizer:
nice work guys :)

i believe in you.

[P3470 General] beast_man:

Hi guys...is it still dead?

Is it impossible to use ROM from some other HTC Device with OMAP 850?
[P3470 General] Mr. Equalizer:
is this really dead? :-(

we are so close to the solution...
[P3470 General] stevedebi:
The HTC Opal has the same processor, and no keyboard. It might be a candidate for a ROM transfer.
[P3470 General] survolt:
Same for HTC ELFin without four buttons... if you test flash rom OPAL or ELFin, please review in topic please
[P3470 General] avathar behemoth:
i guess the thread is really dead since none of us has an idea of where to go next. i think we would need a guy from the artemis thread that enabled wifi....

1) The price of this item looks too good to be true.

2) In GGMarena I only see 64Gb for the G7 plus ansld this one listed as 128Gb.

The seller told me that this is CN model with global ROM.

Will I be able to unlock the bootloader and flash custom roms?

Any ideas about this?

I had a strange talk with a chine representative over WeChat and he told me that not google apps run in that phone.

and also gave me a site from Motorola that should allow to unlock it's bootloader:
