Well, there is a debug connector on the athena. More information about the debug connector can be found here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=2512981&postcount=12

You can see the connector on the right of the motherboard. Now i'm trying to find a way to connect my wiggler clone cable to the debug connector. The connector pins are too small to work with my soldering iron...is any other way to get connected?

That's the cable i'm using: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=350206464946#ebayphotohosting

and i'm planning to use pins : TDO,TDI,TMS,nTRST,TCK and the charger connected on the motherboard. Do i have to use the ground connector also...or something else?
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] scholbert:
Hi nicktgr15,

maybe you'll need a smaller solder iron :p

Serious, there's no other way than to solder some thin wires to the debug pads.

Maybe you'll find some bigger contacts nearby, that belong to the same connection.

Yes you'll need GND too!

As your adaptor is a buffered one, you should sort out the VCC pad on the debug connector also. This voltage is needed to power up the buffer IC on your adaptor.

P.S.: the biggest problem would be to rewrite something into Athena's flash chip. As far as i know this is a G4-DoC from MSystems and there's no JTAG solution for this part :o.

Anyway, good luck for your experiments!

[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] nicktgr15:
Hi Scholbert :)

Thanks for the reply. I know that this will be the hard part as i have read your adventures with universal but for the moment i just want to connect it.

I'll get a thinner tip for my soldering iron and give it a try. Unfortunately the pins around the debug port are not helping :)

I'll post my results here.

Regards

I have a similar problem could possibly sealed the processor and find jtag contacts in this way.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] vma:
Just out of interest: I am used to JTAG flashing on satellite receivers (see my signature).

The pictured JTAG interface looks pretty much like the ones I often use. Regarding the power, mine use a battery to power them up or I can solder a DCC connection. I think that is safer than to get the power from the actual device.

The other thing is: it is not enough to just get the physical connection to the JTAG pins. One need to put the processor of the device in JTAG mode and then control the flash chip through this CPU.

Either you have a flash utility for the JTAG interface, or it will be completly useless.

I might me missing such a tool, in which case I would love to have a link to download it (don't need it, but just in case).

Cheers,

I vote for giving a call to your cell provider. All providers I know of can simply block all "unknown" numbers - the call never even reaches your phone. Then again, I am in Europe. Anyways it's really popular here is phone spam is becoming as normal as email spam, and they all call as "unknown" :)

Hi,

before i take plunge to any customised ROM, i wanted to have backup of my pre-loaded ROM WM6 WWE.

since backup of ROM using aWizard/ itsutils is giving error in itsutils.dll, so i tried finding original ROM (ROM version: 3.7.707.1 WWE , ROM date: 6/21/07 , Radio version: 4.1.13.30 , ExtROM version: 3.6.707.101)

Two places i found the original ROM - from ArmetisWiki page http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Artemis_Upgrades

and another link from google http://bbs.hz-pda.com/thread-5146-1-1.html (this looks more correct though - Mods can update this link in the wiki page)

Question:

- if any issues during upgrade of custom rom or after upgrade, i can reload my original ROM (downloaded from above links) ?

- any suggestions of fast custom ROM taking into account the small memory of HTC3300 Armetis. Lots of cool applications included is ok as i can put them in my 4GB card :)

Thanks in advance...
[P3300, MDA Compact III  upgrading etc.] sualc:
Hi,

-You can return to original PDA conditions at any time, unless you brick it ;), if you have the correct original ROM.

-Most of the available ROMs for Artemis are here: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Artemis_DumpedRoms. My advice is to choose an updated build as light as possible, no "cubes" and heavy graphics..if you like you can "animate" your device afterwards by installing SPB Mobile Shell for example. "Lots of cool applications" are not included in the ROM,some little freeware apps may be..but they would still reside in your pda (because it is a ROM) and not in your memory card.

I think you mixed up the radio version number with the protocol's, a such radio version doesn't exist, just to make things clear:D. By the way,usually radio ugrades are not included in ROM, they can be flashed separately: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Artemis_RadioUpgrades

And,of course, DO NOT FORGET TO UNLOCK your device first if you intend to flash a cooked ROM or radio (read and execute super-carefully the related threads) or you could get into serious trouble.

Good Luck!
[P3300, MDA Compact III  upgrading etc.] mktw:
Hi,

Thats what i wanted to know, does the 2nd link ( http://bbs.hz-pda.com/thread-5146-1-1.html ) seems to have the correct ROM which can bring back to life my ARTE100 (if bricked or stoned by chance)

Yeah u're right - Radio version got mixed with protocol (radio interference :p )

Radio version: 02.69.90 - i think i'll update the Radio though i hardly listen... :)

SPB Mobile shell i have already installed - its cool...

I couldn't understand - "freeware apps may be..but they would still reside in your pda (because it is a ROM) and not in your memory card." as i installed few games/ applications like Total Commander, they gave an option to install in storage card and i clicked that. i checked also if i remove memory card, the links of Total Commander or other games don't work.

though i understand that SPB Mobile shell takes up memory as it loads in memory on startup and stays alive...

thanks
[P3300, MDA Compact III  upgrading etc.] mktw:
cool.. just now i found upgraded Original ROM from another thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=320419

downloaded and kept safe... :cool:
[P3300, MDA Compact III  upgrading etc.] sualc:
Ok, original ROM for your device (MUST be the one you had when you bought you Artemis)) taken from xda is a more secure choice.

The "radio" we are talking about is the GSM module, not the FM radio:D and its upgrade can greatly improve phone reception and battery consumption.

Maybe I was the first between us not to understand what you were meaning by "cool applications".I wanted to say that they are not included in a ROM, you have to install them separately, if you have them..or buy them :p.

Mobile Shell takes up RAM,of course, but our device can support it well, especially version 2.0..in my opinion it'more handy for Artemis but it's up to you to test which version you are more confortable with. Moblie Shell MUST be installed on phone memory, not memory card..other applications can be put in the memcard.

I have flashed my phone atleast 100x and never had this problem. It keeps getting in a loop to align the screen. I finish it and it just starts again. I tried to hard reset it, but it says that they battery is too low and will shut down. But my phone had 80% on it before I flashed it and it has been on the charger all day. Any ideas? Thanks for your help <M>
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] dwmackay:
Have you tried to hard boot with the charger plugged in? Also take the battery out for a few seconds and put it back. I assume you know how to hard reset by getting to the boatloader screen? Vol Down, Center Button Reset simultaneously? Hold the vol & center buttons down until the boot loader shows up, then you can proceed with a hard reset.

Just for something else to try, take out the SD card and SIM card. Something must be messed up on the flash. I would try to get back to boatloader and reflash.

[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] Da_G:
There's a registry setting to define the threshold for the pressure points, the only reason for it to be in a loop is that you're outside that threshold (i.e. for some reason the phone thinks you are pressing too far from the crosshairs)

This indicates a problem with the touch panel, could be pressure is being applied from an improperly fitted case, or a damaged digitizer, or otherwise.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] chattermark:
I tried taking out the sim card, the SD card and did a hard reset on the phone many times. I tried it with the charger installed, not installed and even with the usb cable attached. It says that the battery is too low and will shut down. <M>
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] chattermark:
Do you have any suggestions of where I can check this out? I took the battery case back off, and everything looks great and the case looks like it is fitted great. Where is the digitizer at? thanks for the help. <M>
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] Da_G:
The digitizer is a glass panel that fits on top of the LCD, it's the top layer you touch when using the device, just under the surface.

Here's a thread with 2 pictures of a cracked digitizer that should help to illustrate its location in the device: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=3829487

you might try pressing each cross slightly higher, lower, to the left, or to the right (i.e. do all 4 taps slightly higher)

If the digitizer is off, this might bring the values within tolerance to at least get past the align screen, alternatively you could connect with a registry editor and change the treshold value higher.. but neither of these will fix the underlying issue that the digitizer is not reporting the proper values.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] dwmackay:
If you can get to the tricolor boot loader, you should be able to reflash.

Try launching bootloader. At tri-color screen, attach to the PC and launch your new ROM from the PC. It should go ahead and load the new image. I would try an entirely different ROM.

Mine was stuck at one point and this worked for me. I did not have the alignment issue however.

I really like Google maps on my Touch pro. I would really like to find an app that will overlay a speed readout in the corner or someplace un obtrusive, so I can have the maps and get a speed readout. My old motorcycle has a very inaccurate speedo, and it would be nice on rallys.

I have searched for something like this, and I have come up with naught. If anyone knows of such a critter, a hint would be very helpful.

Thanks
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Smaniac:
Tomtom does that, but of course it doesn't use Google's maps.

Last year I used GPS Cycle Computer in a rally. It's great for real time tracking and logging, but it doesn't show maps.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Ivanstein:
Tomtom is payware, is it not?

I think the Sprint Navigator does it too, but I am already paying them $150 a month and dont see why they need another $10 for their software.

Hi everyone,

I would like to add some video into by Dash, but I don't know what is the best format to use.

What value to use in each setting to have a smooth video playback?

Bit Rate: ?

Frame Rate: ?

Video Size: ?

Thank all for the input

Thank skyline247 for the quick reply.

I will look that up

[HTC Excalibur] stylez:
Just as an addition Mono low bitrate sound to keep down on data and make easier to read.

Also the framerate should be the same as original source can be found via right click properties on original file. "other wise you can get output like 2-1 pulldown does on frames"
[HTC Excalibur] marouanesmaili:

if you want perfect dvd quality .avi files are the way to go. play em' using tcpmp. however .avi files tend to be large files so that's the only drawback (of course not unless you have an 8 gig like me =)
[HTC Excalibur] timepassman:
i encode them in avi using virtualdub or tmpgenc

bitrate 288, 2 pass encoding,

320x 240

for proper aspect ratio use this

http://andrew.hedges.name/experiments/aspect_ratio/

put source ratio, then put 320, get the 4th parameter !

audio - 128kbps or 96kbps (songs or speech), cbr, 32mhz sampling

i don't care for size, cause i got 8gb card in it :D
[HTC Excalibur] jeyventura:
first get the tcpmp then the pocket divx encoder its free and encode your videos on xvid in avi containers ive been able to play 1 gig movies with a bitrate around 1000 and a resolution of 640 * 270 and audio at 128 but you dont really need that much quality because the dash only has a screen of 320 * 240 soo just resise the video and play with the bitrate till you get what you want ohhh and dont use h 264 it requires more prossesing because the compression its more complex soo you wiil get a very low framerate really the best is xvid hope this helps :)

1. What is the best way for me to make a complete backup of my phone(reg settings, data, etc) and what will this protect me from. Just if i would like to restore it or will it help me out if i brick my phone.

2.What is the best way to add music to your phone. Should i pop the microsd out put it in an adapter and put the music on it from there. When i try to add the music through the usb via active-sync i find that it takes a ridiculously long time to upload.Also it looks like it converts them a little too. What do you guys do for your music.

thanks
[XPERIA X1 General] Firefall!:
A bricked phone is called a brick because it really is like a brick. You can't use it anymore. No way to restore it through software. If you ant full backup, you need a backup up like Spb Backup or Sprite Backup.

The fastest way to add music would be through an adapter but I don't recommend you to do this all the time. It only scratches the contacts. YOu might rather want to turn the phone to removable storage mode. This is a lot faster than ActiveSync. I do this and Sync using WMP (on the PC), this way the files are automatically added to the library of the WMP on the phone.
[XPERIA X1 General] orelsi:
I love questions :D.

1 - You can use SPB Backup, Sprite Backup or others, but remember that even if everything works after you restore it, the phone will be slower and/or laggy. Best solution is to keep all the apps sorted out in a folder on your PC and reinstall them after a hard reset.

2 - Go to start - settings - connections - usb to pc. Click on disk drive. Now you can use your phone as a flash/external memory when you plug it into your PC. Just copy and paste the files you want. If you need ActiveSync go back to the settings and change it the way it was.

I have been reading the forums about the memory card needing to be class 6 if you wish to do apps2sd.

How can I check what the actual class mine is.

The standard 2gb that came with phone just says, MicroSD

But T-Mobile also gave me a free 8gb card, this has a 2 after the word sandisk and then near bottom edge says SDHC.

On testing transfering a file from vista 64 pc to phone, it transferred at around 3.80mb ps, which would suggest class 4, but as everyone knows transfering files via vista is slow anyway.

So should I treat this as a class 4 card?

thanks

Hey

My s710 has developed a funny problem. The alarm seems to go off at 8:10am every morning. The alarm sound plays for 3 loops and then goes silent automatically, just leaving "alarm" written on the screen.

I have never installed any 3rd party alarm software or anything....this is the inbuilt alarm acting up. Changing the alarm time and all doesn't help. I tried changing the alarm time to 8:10 and then changing it again and restarting....still messed up (actually after doing this 2 overlapping alarms sound simultaneously now).

I'm using the latest official ROM from the HTC website:

WinMo 6 standard, CE OS 5.2.1622 (build 18128.0.4.4)

Any help on how to fix this would be greatly appreciated. I'm sure a fresh ROM install is the easiest fix, but I'd like to avoid that.

Thanks in advance

Hi,

is there a way to increase the camera 2xzoom to e.g. 4xzoom?

maybe in the registry, like adding new shot-modes?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] ohyeahar:
Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but the zoom is digital (ie. not optical). So there's really no difference in taking a 2x-zoomed pic versus a 1x-zoomed pic magnified 200%. So, 4x-zoomed pic would just be a 1x-zoomed pic magnified 400%.

Bring your digital cam if you really want serious pics.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] kosherpig:
Yes that is right. In fact if you want digital zoom anyways, take photos without it and magnify them on the PC. The quality most likely will be better, especially if you use special programs like PhotoZoom.

And the last part is most important. Sensors and lenses of phones' cameras are crap compared to any real (serious) compact camera.
