Upgrade to WM6 without USB?

Hey everyone, I'm new here , and I thought I'd start with a quick question.
My HTC Universal is a bit handicapped (bought it off a friend who said it was broken, apparently the USB plug terminals weren't fully soldered, but I couldn't connect all of them and it will only charge through USB and nothing else.)
If someone has an HTC schematic or a high-res image of the motherboard, I could possibly try to revive USB transfer capabilities (but that area is a bit damaged from not having a small enough soldering iron ), *OR*, if there is a way to reflash from within the OS using a SD card, that would be great.
Hope someone knows the answer to this, thanks!
Edit: And if it's of any possibility, how much would a replacement board be? Enough to satisfy a 100% working USB connection?

No ideas? If someone can at least give me a schematic or a high-res pictures of both sides of the board then I could possibly fix the USB to 100% functionality.

If you check the WIKI for the Universal you shoul be able to find a link for downloading the Service Manual. It shows the total un-assembly-re-assembly process step by step. You may also find instructions for SD flashing there as well. I have never flashed my Uni by SD, but I have don other phones like that. Most of the HTC's are capable. There is even info in the Service manual telling you what to have on the SD and wht to name the files from proper use. Give it a search.

Thanks! I have the manual already so I'll give it a look over. I wasn't entirely sure and I thought I wouldn't see anything but I'll look more in-depth .
Just a side note, does anyone know where I can get a replacement motherboard and how much it will be? Just curious, as that option might be available if it isn't too expensive.

No Sound

Hi everybody
My Magician stopped giving me sound in the earpeace and in my bluetooth headphone but works when I turn on the speaker. Does enybody know what might have happened to it and if so how could I fix it?
Thanks

please let me know, if it helps...

Had the same problem 2 weeks ago.
After changing the earpiece, the problem still remained...
Well the problem is most likely one of the contacts of the black connector on the "Audio Daughter Board" (http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=29156&d=1152687263) which became loose during drop of the phone.
Look at the post #4 of http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=977314 to get more info.
I resoldered the contacts of the black connector thanks to the tutorial of bluehanul76 without beeing a specialist in soldering.
You just have to heaten the contacts with your soldering iron.
My magician works like on the first day thanks to this forum
Good luck with the repair!

Kaiser won't charge and sound does not work after flash new rom + radio

hello,
I flashed my kaiser yesterday with
radio : 1.70.19.09
rom : e. Abusalza - that is actually the Ultimate-X2.V10.Premium rom
Now my kaiser won't charge and the sound doesn't work anymore a
I have tryed to
- hard reset - problem still there
- flashed the radio 1.27.12.32 by micro SD flashing because my PC won't see my mobile phone - problem still there
I have given last night some resets with the stylus and because it was night I think I have accidentally pus the stylus into the charger hole and maybe I destroyed something but that is no reason for the sound to not work.
What should I do?
What is the best radio for my rom and for Romania - operator Orange

i believe you lost sound by flashing the 1.27 radio, i believe that is a wm6.0 radio only but i could be wrong, you will have to have the usb port repaired, no way around that, ive heard of people messing there ports up with their stylus before, your not the first. next question is before you started this thread, did you ask this question anywhere else?

so what radio should work correctly with WM 6.5 ? can you give me a link ?
no i have posted here first because I couldn't find any similar problems regarding both charging and sound

A 6.1 Radio please do some research before starting a new topic, the Sticky @ the top of forum holds valuable information aswell as the WIKI.
Another good place to look is people sigs who are using 6.5 in the threadz or on the Kaiser board.
Also regards charging there has been threadz where it's just been the usb port is damnaged and pulling one of teh connection terminals has fixed it.
Good luck

yeah, thanks you wore right... I flashed a new radio 1.65.20.29 and the sound works now. A strange thing is that if I put my headsets into the USB port they are working so do I still have a chance of just mismatching between the rom and the radio ?
PS: can you move my post in a section that is not in the first page so that I can still post?

Try to flash the shipped ROM for your carrier and see if the problem persists.

I can't do that. I don't even remember what rom was that because it was a Portuguese version and I didn't understand the menues so I flashed it 2h after I bought it 1 year ago.
Now I am at 10% with the battery and I can't flash anymore any other kind of rom.... but I was thinking to go to a phone shop and charge my battery just until I flash it again.
now I have 2 questions:
- does the ROM has anything to do with charging the battery (because I thought that the radio does that )
- how can I charge my battery any other way ? If i put a 5V transformator on the + and - of the battery will it charge? can I damage the battery this way ?

- answer to first question most likely not. Some roms do drain battery life quicker than others but charging is not specific to a rom.
- i haven't tried this. there is a pretty good chance you will as i don't think your phone battery has clearly labled + and - current sources. You might want to hit mike chanon up on this. "mikechanon" one word.

My feeling is that there is now damage to the usb port after pushing the stylus into it.
You say above that would not affect the sound - BUT the sound is output through the usb port and bent or crossed pins in the socket can cut off sound as well as stopping charging. This can mean that sound may still work using the headphones.
Get a magnifying glass and a strong light and examine the port. Bent pins can sometimes be straightened using a needle. Hopefully the port has not got cracked solder joints to the motherboard.
Because you have both charging and sound problems (and PC won't see mobile), I think there is a stong possibility this is a hardware not a software problem. (even if it started as a software issue)
Mike
EDIT - there is also a plastic part that can break off on some usb ports - from memory, I can check later, the Kaiser has one of these.

the reason why your usb port got damaged is probably because you stuck the stylus in it (like everyone is saying including yourself).
the reason why you accidently stuck the stylus in there is because you were constantly soft resetting your device.
the reason why you were constantly resetting your device was because you were trying different things to get the sound to work...including trying a radio which is meant for winmo6.0
the reason why you were trying a radio meant for winmo6.0 is because you didn't read the FAQ on the first page of the pda corner ultimate thread.
the reason why you are looking for a link to the suggested radio(s) is once again lack of reading the FAQ. the FAQ on the first page of that thread has links to the correct radio.
its a sad chain of events but the root cause is that you simply did not read the FAQ on the first page which clearly states which radio is recommended and has the link right there!
i hope you as well as other people new to flashing ROMs can learn from this experience and just try to start reading what is clearly written.
i hope you are able to repair the damage of the usb port. good luck!

The the sound problem is now resolved by changing the radio - the sound works now.
I will try tomorrow to see if I can do something with an magnifying glass.
10x, I will post after I'll try to repair it.

so I took a magnifier glass and you wore right one of the pins was stuck into the plastic part. I took it out and I think now it's ok.

[Q] o2 xda(htc wallaby)microswitch mod

Hello,I was wondering if anybody knows of a mod to bypass the microswitch that is located under the simtray door on my o2 xda (htc wallaby).
I have noticed that the switch as been completely removed and there is know no solder pad to connect another switch to.
so if anybody knows of a way around this (board link,etc) i would be very grateful.
Thank you.

If there is no solder pad, you must determine what connections the switch was using in the first place. If you can find the connections, you can make the bridge. If you can make the bridge, then your battery will think it's closed.
Worst case scenario, as a jimmy-rigged hack, you can use a #2 pencil to draw an electrical contact between the points. You just have to find out where the connection SHOULD go to.

o2 xda microswitch mod
Hello and thank you Adam for the reply.
I have checked and found that where the switch would have been, it would have been grounded when the simtray door was attached (which was missing).
On close inspection tonight i have found that there is a number of components missing or damaged and so i think it maybe a good idea not to waste any more time on it.
Thank you for your good advice.

[ FEITENG H9500 ] Known issues and fixes

Ok.. i see many people on this forum asking questions about this device.. the truth is this device is designed very poorly and it even may arive at your hands defective / with some or with a lots of problems.. you can proceed by your very own responsibility. Take a look in the picture for pcb details
- to Fix about every problem you need to findout how to unscrew the back plastic case and be able to see its PCB (Printent circuit Board) - Its pretty easy, just remove the little screws and give a presure at the clips of the cover to be removed, don't use metal objects because you will scratch the plastic.
* WIFI / GPS very low signal
Let me begin with one problem that you have FOR SURE.. is the low wifi signal and gps.. this is due to a horible design of the antenna.. the antenna is not just horrible, but it is also causing a short circuit it self! which is the main reason why the signal is low. First you have to stop the short circuit from happning
How to fix it? Unscrew the back cover, at the top of the back cover under the flash you will see a white sticker, this is the antenna, you have to remove completely this white sticker because it can't be useful by any way. Remove every piece of it including the copper-yellow color from the inside (the place that makes the connection.
Now find a UTP cable and take a piece of a hard copper of it, remove the plastic and keep the copper wire clear, cut it and place it in the whole were previewsly was the white sticker.. you have to place it in this way so it can connect with the inside conntact with the back plastic is placed and screwed again on the phone.. there are 2 pins in that place.. the old antenna used both of this pins (that was causing short circuit) you have to use the left pin and leave the right pin completely empty.. so the right pin doesn't connect anywere, and the left pin is connected to your piece of copper wire.
Cut the copper at the same size of the top of your phone.. so you can place it horizontal ... but you can also try vertical, (use wifi analyze app from play store to see what fits better for you)
Now.. this is the same antenna for gps.. you have nothing else to do.. just install GPS Test app and go outside and test your gps..
This is what i did and im pretty happy with it, instead i used 2 pices of copper and i covered the whole top place of my phone under the camera.. but that doesn't mean is the most right way because when we dealing with antennas there are a lot of math / and calculations that have to be done to design a perfect antenna.
the wire gives really a great signal.. just in case you want to reach the extreme.. Instead of copper wire you can use thin-Copper paper. (don't use foil of aluminium is not good) and design a better antenna copying the design of an antenna from another phone (that you know it works)
* Camera autofocus doesn't work - Or camera doesn't work at all
[Don't unscrew] Frist thing you should try is remove the back cover and give a presure in the right side of your camera with your finger.. this is the place the connector is located.. and it may gets unclipped and loose the connection after a small drop or something. After that Reboot the phone.
[unscrew back] If this presure on the right doesn't fix it, then you have to unscrew the phone.. take off the camera and give it some small hits and punches.. place back the camera and see if it works.. this is due the autofocus motor got stuck.
* Mic, Speaker, USB doesn't work
[Don't unscrew] This is due the connector of the bottom part got lost its connection. remove the back cover and give presure under the place of the SIM cards, were it writes 'WCDM' and 'GSP'. press a bit those spots. reboot, if not fixed:
[unscrew back] The two bottom connectors is 1. for the touchscreen and 2 for the bottom parts.. you need to check both of those because i am not sure which is which.
* SIM1, SIM2, Microsd not working
[Don't unscrew] Try to give some press next to vol+ / vol- buttons
[unscrew back] On the top left of the PCB there are located 2 connectors, 1 is for the front camera, and 2 is for the SIM/SD parts.. the last connector to the side of vol buttons is the connector you have to check and press to make sure is connected ok.
* Touchscreen doesn't work
[Don't unscrew] Give presure right under the headphones jack
[unscrew back] This is were it is located.

Charging Problem
I would like to add the problem with charging the batteries.
I got a new H9500, with two batteries. When i try to charge it with the adapter that came with it, the phone shows the charging animation, but it never actually charges the phone.
I have the same behaviour on both batteries.
After searching for a solution i found these:
-The charger supplied is 5V, 0.5A. Some people used a 1A charger and got to the point that it actually started to charge
-ROM problem, by changing the ROM some people were able to fix the problem, since the software was not getting correct info out of the battery's third pin.
Well none of the above worked for me. I hope someone comes up with an altarnate solution.

I need a new usb pcb for my feiteng H9500 (the usb port is broken on it)
This is the part I need :

my expirience
Hello guys...
My story. Bought this phone for my son for 160 €. We found out that camera focus didn't work, so I took it apart.
The easiest way to take down plastic cover, after it was unscrewed, is to put something plastic under it in the place between both SIM cards places, and work around inner battery square.
When cover was off, I found out that camera plug (right of camera) wasn't even plugged in. It only laid on connector. Plugged it in, and shake camera a little and auto focus came alive.
After that I noticed that black cable between gsm antenna and PCB was very loose, so I had to sort this out
At the end I found out that speaker connections are very delicate and had to take plastic down again to properly connect speaker.
Now it is obvious to me, why these Chinese phones are so cheap. We have saying in our country: pay little, get little
But now everything is cool and my son is happy.... And I am happy

Hi.
I just got a Feiteng H9500. The problem is that the camera is not working and the camera application hangs then stop responding then quit. When I start the camera nothing apears on display. I've put some pressure then some hits and it started to work a while. The focus worked as well but It seems to me not to work excellent so I gave it more hits, then the camera stopped working again. I have disassembly it, i moved a bit the camera and removed and put back the connector and it came alive again for a while, but just the front camera. Then stopped again. I have noticed that the camera doesn't move up and down when I press on it, it is stopped down, if I lift it with a needle it goes up, so it's not stucked.I can't even comute between cameras because the aplication hangs then quit. ( Everything else works.
any help? Thanks.

Hi Guys,
Just ordered the HTM H9500, is it exactly the same Phone as the Feiteng H9500?
I mean can I use ROMs for the Feiteng H9500 to flash them on the HTM H9500?
Big Thanx

My phone is Feiteng H9500 (HTM).
Appearance is similar FEITENG h9500, but not identical.
I'm not sure that have the same Rom, so I did not dare to flash a custom ROM.
View here:
http://www.movilesdualsim.com/forums/feiteng-h9500.166/

I cannot read Spanish or whatever it may be
There is a ROM at needrom called something like this "feiteng / htm h9500".
That sounds like the device is the same...

Thanks to your photo guide, I found courage and disassembled my HTM H9500 and DG300 phones and fixed them easily (nothing to fix really, just blow off some dusts between camera connectors and in front speaker)

You should order it by the store you got the picture of it. actually there are many stores selling parts for this phone.. almost like its branded.. unlike with other chinese phones you get a struggle to find parts, so you shouldn't face any problem to order a part.

Sound when touch on Lock Screen
hi, guys
I have FEITENG (HTM) H9500 almost a year and I am very pleased with it.
I want to change the sound of the screen when touch lockscreen, but I do not know how.
It did not sound when unlock the screen, it is the sound when you put your finger on the screen while the screen is locked.
In The system/media/ui is not, and I do not know where I'd be looking elsewhere.
Please help

No Data connection
I have had a Feiteng H9500+ for a while but recently rooted it and tried some different ROMs as well as applying a GPS fix. Somehow now my AT&T data connection is not working. The SIM settings have the data on and set to AT&T and I turned roaming on just to be sure but nothing I do can get the AT&T data to work. When I am connected to Wi-Fi it works fine. This is the only way I can get Internet.
Can anyone help me get my mobile data working again?
