T5353 Normal Phone Boot Problem

I have problem with T5353 phone.

Yesterday as usual I pressed Power button for switch on phone.

But instead of the screen Today Windows Mobile, I can only see "Calibrating .." screen.

I tried to remove and insert the battery, but it did not help me.

When I switch on the phone I see only the "Calibrating ..." screen.

I can just pressed three buttons simultaneously (Send + End Call + Power) for switched on phone to the "Downloading ..." mode.

I thought that the possible problem in the phone firmware.

I've completed update phone firmware using a program Hisilcon IDT from my notebook.

IDT program wrote to me "Success" for upgrade phone firmware process.

When update firmware finished is ok, phone trying to boot in normal mode and on the screen I seen standard "HTC Touch Diamond2" boot screen, but after that phone again changed screen on "Calibrating..."

If I turn on the phone I see only the screen "Calibrating ..."

When turn on the phone can only see the screen "Downloading..." when you press three buttons (Send + End Call + Power) or the screen to "Calibrating ..." if you press any other buttons.

What can I do?

Can anybody help me?

monster t5388+

Hi

I have a t5388+ "monster" from fastcardtech.

I am happy with this phone,

already tried almost everything without changing original rom - Manila 2D, SPB Mobile shell, Pointui, all works perfect, but still i'm afraid to flash with different rom, because i cannot dump mine.

I have read all about dumping, but, when i start dum procedure, after 30 MB of data, my activesync icon on PC is greyed, and transfer stopped.

This happens also on other big files > 15 MB which i try to transver via activesync.

does anybody know what is the problem?

My activesync hungs on big files!

only softreset fixes it.

can I flash my phone with roms for t5355 here?

a I can see, my wifi is unifi,

cpu is MArvell@806 mhz

ram 192/rom 256

OS: CE 5.2.21734 (build 21734.5.0.20)

I find few little things - ringing is a bit crispy compared to my nokia e51,

when talking on phone, others hears me quiet,

led flash is almost not visible, only in complete dark

thanks!

which clone should I choose

Hey, decayed.cell

a short question

I really want to buy one of these clones

I had the most simple T5353 from focalprice, not much of a phone...

now I have T5358+, not a bad phone - GPS works, radio, g-sensor, CPU should be 528MHz, 85MB available RAM

but I want to buy something of the most serious models, something with a greater resolution, auto focus camera, more RAM

which would you recommend?

I am thinking of HOT D3 or T5388....

which do you think of all the clones would be a nice choice

Radio 4.49.25.17 for t5353 clone

HI

I recently bought an htc touch diamond clone with the model name of t5353+

It looses its signal on standby mode with my carrier.

If I change to another carrier , it works.

For economic, and family reasons,(we are four with the same carrier) I would prefer to stay with my present carrier.

I know for sure that the sim of my carrier works with the original htc that uses the Radio 4.49.25.19.

I tried with no avail to introduce the 4.--- radio in my phone.

Now I see that there is a list of three 4.----radios which are apparently for clones.Is this correct??

If so, which of the three should I try to introduce into my phone ??--The "exe",the "rar", or the one described as "no custom Ruu. rar" ??

I would relly appreciate your help and thank you in advance

wrong upagrade t5388i

Hi

I tried to update my phone rom, t5388i.

At the first time I try to upgrade the rom with a version of solonomi.

After this the screen went blank but I could hear the noise of the buttons. I thougt that this was because of the resolution of my mobile.

I had ther "brilliant" idea of upgrade the mobile rom with a t5388++ version, and now my phone is off and isn't possible to turn on.

I don't know what to do because my pc doesn't detect my mobile.

What can I do?

Thanks

Sorry for my English
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] cybermaus:
I did the reverse: In an conscious attempt to see if they were compatible, and guessing that at least the boot loader of the two would be similar, I flashed my T5388++ with a T5388i ROM, using the IDT method. Unlike you I did this knowing the risks.

Result was that the screen no longer worked. not even in the boot loader. Dispite knowing the risks, that was a bit of a shock.

However, if you ignore the non-working screen, and just continue with the steps, it turns out the boot loader may not display anything, but it still worked. So I could flash back a T5388++ ROM using IDT method.

I would guess/hope its the same for you: just flash back the T5388i, ignore the fact the screen is not displaying anything.

Not sure if you used the IDT or the SD-card method, and not sure if the SD card method will work when blind. But for me, the IDT method worked. I have no actual experience with the SD method. For the IDT method, look here

Edit: Wait! did you say you first tried a 5388i and it also did not work? You are certain you have a T5388i right?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] xaxa90:
At the first time when I tried with a t5388i version the screen was white but now it isn't possible to detect with idt.

I think that I have t5388i because the label under battery case is "Touch Diamond2 T5388i"
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] cybermaus:
White? That may mean the problem is not 'only' that you flashed the wrong 5388++. You may have other problems complicating the matter. How sure are you the 5388++ flash came to a good end?

Anyway, common reasons why IDT may not discover the phone, other than that its a dead phone:

- (re) install the correct IDT version (but you must have that already)

- Use on XP, not 7

- Ensure you have ActiveSync set to disallow connections on USB

- Install the USB driver for 5388i found at solonomi

If none of that works, try the SD method as alternative to the IDT method

If that also does not work, sorry, I am out of idea's, you may be out of a phone.

T5353 dead

Hi guys, I'm from Argentina and I write aver if u can help. is buying a htc diamond clone 2, the T5353. explore the windows folder, I found a phone utility test, which had an option that said "Destroy System", and I am writing this because it seems clear and even throughout the ROM boot loader of my phone, anyone has idea how I can fix it? phone charging, the charging LED is on, when I run it for a moment shows me the screen to select the operating system (Windows or android), but then appears at the bottom an empty blue bar, on a black background . eh tried flashing with IDT, from SD and nothing, no way to revive him. I'm moving into JTAG. but still I'm missing a lot.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] cybermaus:
Wow. Proof that if ever we find UFO with a big red button labeled 'Do not push this button, it will destroy the planet' then it will be pushed. Whats even worse is, if I found such a program in my phone, I probably also would have tried it at some point.

Other that that remark, I hope someone can help you, I am not too familiar with T5353 Dual OS, except for the fact that I believed it to be a SUT utility phone, not IDT. Also did you remember that many clone phones have a FAT16 and 2GB limit on the SD card when flashing? You may need to try a smaller SD card.

And I think somewhere in this thread there was someone providing a Android only flash for your phone, with flash instructions, but you may need dig through all the other posts. Good luck
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] klanix:
Thank you very much for answering, about the size of SD card, eh tested with a 2 gb, 1gb and 512mb but did not work with any, uh tried "WM6.1 English_FLASH.DIO.zip T5353, with loader.bin and flash.bin "t5353-eng.zip" eh even with the original ROM, which brings: "BootImage.nb0", "CONVERT.BIN", "DATA.BIN" EBOOT.BIN "fdesc.cnf" ... . and do not know what else you can do something with jtag? anyone know the pinout of the t5353?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] adstraylight:
Hi there,

The method for flashing the t5353++ dual os is to unzip the ROM files onto the root directory of a </= 2GB sdcard (formatted as FAT, NOT FAT32), not in any folders, just copy the files directly onto the card.

Then place the card in the phone, whilst it is switched off, hold the voume-up button then power, and continue to hold them both untill progress bars appear in the screen, after which you can release the buttons.

Wait for completion, after which the phone will restart itself.

A variety of language versions for the Android 2.0 dual ROM are hosted here:

http://solonomi.com/rom/T5353/

But, the single system, Android 2.1 ROM they have is now obselete, it has been superceeded by a much more stable version that includes Android market (that you don't need to hack the filesystem to make work :) ). I did upload it before, but Solonimi must have missed it, and the link has now reached its limit.

Because I'm so nice :), here it is again:

http://rapidshare.com/files/411158845/07-13-T5353-2.1.rar

BTW, I posted before about the timezone resetting itself to china on boot, I've since found this is due to a line in the bootimage's init.rc file, that is uneditable :(. I may get brave/desparate enough to attempt un/repacking the bootimage, but will have to go to hacker skool first....

Also BTW, the 'Chinese whispers' have it that there is a version of Android 2.2 in the works, that should greatly improve the performance and memory usage (as the phone is in tight on RAM with the current systems).

[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] cybermaus:
Well, I would love a 2.2, or even 2.1, android ROM for the T5388i or T5388++, but never found any reference on it on any of the Chinese forums. And I suspect it will be hobbyists who make that, the manufacturer would rather sell us new hardware then giving us a free new ROM.

However, I did find this. I have it currently mentally classified as 'too good to be true' and am suspecting the shop meant 'dual os' and not 'dual sim' and the ++ behind the T5388 is a mistake as well.

It has no 6.1 ROM, but it does have what it calls the original production version of 6.5.

to navigate open two tabs, one original, one google translated, then follow the same links on both tabs to locate the download button (you need the original as you wont be able to download via the translated version).

Good luck!

Thanks for this forum ... with chinese clones it's a must :mad:

I ordered an 5353+ and recieved an 5388+ ( Single Sim) which is a good thing it says I have more memory now and a marvell pxa 310 at 806 Mhz.

Software version V03.04.00 build S1004070911(1.175)

radio version 1.3 radio package 2.2

I installed tomtom 7.9 and the navigon 7.40 test version, both work just fine

I did find en applied the GPS foil fix ( however my version has a metal case under the battery all ready installed ) But with the fix I had a reasonable good signal ...

changed nothing ... and I can wait for hours again .... no GPS signal ...

is there a simple program that like tomtom will give you the Satellite(s) and strength ????

And what are the correct parameters on the GPS receiver ??? Since I can change them from 2400 baud to 11500 and they all find it and then tell me "you are probably in a building" where I have no building within 200 meters....

Turned off the aGPS ... installed the GPS tweak ... and switched aGPS server all to no avail ...

If I turn off the com3: GPS_3TW no program can find a GPS signal just "No GPS found" is the response and it did work yesterday :confused:
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] cybermaus:
Utility to test GPS: VisualGPSce is a very good one.

as to GPS settings. this is how it works on a 5388++, maybe its the same for you, but please note the 5388+ (single sim) rolls out of a different factory than the 5388+(+) double sim, so it may not apply to you.

Windows has a so called "intermediate driver". This intermediate driver on one hand has to be told where to find the real GPS (hardware port) and on the other hand where to present a 'virtual port' for end user programs.

The hardware port needs to point to the actual GPS COM port if you have an external GPS, but for build-in GPS, it usually remains empty, as the manufacturer added a system driver DLL to find the GPS chip instead. So on my T5388++, and in fact on far out most of the phones with build in GPS, the hardware port should remain blank. Its all done by DLL drivers.

The intermediate driver virtual port is set to COM6 on my T5388++ but was set to COM4 on my HTC Touch HD. In theory, you can set it to any free port.

Your application should then use this virtual port. Because it is a virtual port, the baud rate does not matter, there is no real baud rate, as it in reality is just reading and writing to a memory buffer.

On my T5388++, there were 3 pre-existing COM ports, COM1 to COM3, which were labeled 'modem' 'blue' and 'gps'. These ports you should never interfere with, as they are internal gateways to various chips, and whenever I tried to read or write to them, I ended up having to do a hard reset. So stick to the virtual port you put on COM 4 or COM6.

Also, on the T5388++ phone, there is a AGPS utility, which you could use to check your satelites and fix. In that utility, if you replace the suplcn.sirf.com server with supl.google.com, you may get better AGPS performance (server may be less crowded). You could also turn of AGPS completely, so you avoid interference from, or problems with your internet data connection. It will then work as a normal GPS, relying purely on the satellites.

But I repeat, above is on the T5388++ double sim, and may not apply to your phone. The Windows intermediate driver portion will apply, as that is microsoft provided, but the rest may be phone specific.

If it all does apply (iow, if you see the same build in com ports and utility), please report back, so we know. And if it is all different, please also report back.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] bartvdv:
Found and installed the visualGPS program...

as found in another thread I disabled the windows rerouting to com6.

set the com3 to 4800 baud and connected visualGPS to com3: 4800 ...

After a seconds it found some satellites and after 2 minutes I had a fix ...

The signals when I put the phone against the window with very clear view from east to west are just at about max on 9 satellites now ...

BUT!!! as soon as i even come close the signals drop to half or even less ... and the fix is lost if I pick up the phone ...

that is probably why it worked yesterday I had the phone installed in the dashboard....

So fix one ... turn on mobile navigation ... and run as far away as you can from the phone ... then perhaps it will tell you where to go and how to drive ...

And since I bought it for walking and bicycle purposes it is pretty useless now ..

I think i'll try to cover the back with alu foil and ground it and see what it does ...

I'll be back
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] bartvdv:
using alu foil make things worse ....

the only way to keep a fix is to keep your fingers below the 4 buttons and as far away from you as you can ...

Programs like tomtom need the windows com port like com6: and visualGPS works just as well on com6:

it only seems that tomtom is a bit more selective as it comes to a fix on your position and I need to upgrade it ... or try tomtom lite

Or as I see it now windows is doing something ( filtering ) the signal ... since using visualGPS on com3 ( communication with GPS directly ) will give me even indoors a few satellites and at the same position with com6 ( windows redirected ) I get nothing ...
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] cybermaus:
So if I understand you correctly, COM3 provides proper NMEA data, can be directly read, and Windows normally use it for hardware port. Interesting. In that case, you may want to try Mod Driver as a replacement to the Windows intermediate driver.

But not until you solved the fix issue first. As you discovered, the aluminum will only help in a very specific case. Normally, one would guess that putting metal near the antenna would make it worse. You say you battery case is also metal, have you tried without the battery case?

Also, my phone had a loose GPS antenna connector inside. Maybe you too? Mind you, you have another model phone, so maybe your's does not even have a separate antenna. Also, you would need to open the phone.

Also, out of interest and to fulfill my curiosity more that it will help you, can you start VisualGPS with logging. Most non-integrated GPS chips send an ID string at start of comm, so it would be nice to see what chip is inside.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] bartvdv:
i made a log file...

psrf140 i expect a siirf3 that is what gps-3tw is reffering to...

and it makes sense in combination with the aGPS sirf server

i can email the log file pm me an addy

if i use software port 6 for windows i can't connect to com3 in visualgps

navigon7 also connects to com3 tt7 says no gps found

gpsmod works fine though visualgps act pretty strange at startup connected to com4 ..towerscan ??

the metal battery case is factory installed ... hard to remove...

but everythng works fine now as long as i keep my fingers at max 1" above the buttons....

holding it like that i even get indoors max signal from some satellites
