Hi,
After a mounth of problem caused by my mini-usb connector, I weld it this morning. But, I cannot sync it by usb anymore. I have to sync it by bluetooth. Anyway do you think there is a possibility to upgrade it with an SD card or another solution?
I thank you.
Hi,
My first thoughts would be..
"how am I going to charge the battery",
pointless pursuing an upgrade in the circumstances?!
STI
I don't see charging being an issue, as he may very well have power even if not data running on his connector, and even if that's not the case, there's plenty standalone battery chargers on ebay. Not the perfect scenario, but grab a second battery if you don't already own one and it's suddenly way better than tossing you uni.
About the SD card ROM loading...
I've seen a few posts on it, but I reckon the SD image is always created by dumping the current loaded ROM.
So, I imagine you'll need someone else so make you an SD image of the ROM you need/want.
As for the actual dumping of the OS, I never did it, so I can't really help you there.
It's not about the uni, but here's this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=899768&postcount=8
Still, as I told you, I believe you'll need a third party to supply you with the ROM dump, and even then, be damn careful that you both have the some devices (i.e. both G3 or both G4) as it probably matters.
Take this as a hint in (what I believe is) the right direction. By no means I can guarantee that this is the only way to go about it.
Best of luck!
I have the same problem with my HTC prophet device...since i upgraded to wm6 , problem came when I activated Wm5torage
I can still charge it with my usb cable but nothing more...I`m looking to download an SD image backup from somebody
If somebody can help ...
I have the same problem, having replaced the socket it also just now charges and shows in windows as an unknown port. I have checked all the connection on the PDA motherboard and everything appears OK when measured with a meter. As windows recognises that there is a port there, it seems likely that the clock and data are available. If this is the case, it should be recognised. I can only assume that somehow the OS has become corrupt. This seems to be quite a common thing, and it would be nice if someone could throw some light on why this happens.
If the clock and data are available, meaning that the two computers can communicate, you should be able to reflash the device, since Bootloader mode circumvents the OS, and the RUU has it's own drivers for communicating with the device, evidenced by the fact that it shuts down ActiveSync to avoid interference.
Try putting the device into bootloader, then initiating a flash. If there's something, anything, wrong with the dataport, the RUU will be unable to flash. If the ROM Upload starts, the it will probably finish too without a hitch. And you'll have a new working Uni.
Also, it is not possible to flash via SD card, since the SD port can only be used with the appropirate drivers loaded, and that's done by the OS. Flashing is done while in bootloader mode, which circumvents all of the OS, and uses a separately stored on board program to access the main ROM, screen and dataport.
It is possible to flash a new Rom via the SD Card.
It does however require another device to dump the image onto the SD Card first.
Search the forum and you will find specific details on the procedure.
I believe Midget made a post about the process not so long ago.
Also could all peeps please keep these sort of issues in the upgrading section, you are more likely to get better answers there.
This forum is meant to be purely for WM6 on the Universal.
Cheers,
Beasty
Yep, here is:

Whoops sorry am getting a little off topic here. Anyway boot load will not work so port is probably faulty. Got a version of WM6 on it anyway, so will use as is.

It looks like I may be needing to send my phone in for warranty work. The only thing is... the reason why is i may have to send it in is because my phone will no longer connnect to any computer. It is not just active sync but even bootloader seems stuck on just "serial" and never moves on to "USB". I have changed cables, changed computers, cleaned contacts and everything else I can think of.
I have read the "reverting back to OEM" and have tried running jumpSPL but it seems that unlike the bootloader, jumpSPL does not search through SD for an image. You must load one from your PC, which sadly I can not do.
If anyone has any thoughts or suggestions on what can be done either to reflash SPL or anything else to help remmedy my problems please let me know. Thank you.
***UPDATE***: After another cleaning and bit of pin tweaking I managed to my phone to connnect!!! So my mini usb port isn't bad after all. Happiest day of my life since installing HardSPL and flashing my first cooked ROM!
However, thinking about it... this still may be a valid topic for someone else facing a similiar situation.
Yes. You can flash anything from an SD card. Security Unlock or HardSPL is usually necesary though. I won't steal anyones thunder, but I will say FOR NOW!
Hey guys,
I'm having troubles recently with my Wizard. I am running TNT.19199 Rom. First of all, seems tyhe touch sensors on the phone don't seem to respond as quickly anymore.
1- Also, sometimes, the volume on the phone goes dead. Which means I cannot hear the ringers and when I press the buttons. Although I can hear the conversation. At this point, I have to restart the phone to get it to work.
2- I've been having problems with bluetooth lately. Is there some sort of patch to remedey that problem?
3- Sometimes people cannot hear me clearly on the other end of the conversation...
4- I'm still trying to find the programm that turns my SD card into a virtual Hard drive for the phone. I know you guys are telling it doesn't exist but I'm not making up what I saw back in January. Maybe it has to do with a prgram called Ramldr. Anyone know how it works? Much appreciated.
Thanks guys!
Phil
heads up???
Hey guys,
I'd really appreciate a little heads up on the problems I'm having....
Thanks,
Phil
most of your glitches may be solved by a rom change. try flashing a different rom. try some other rom.
the program you may be looking for is "WM5torage". this program will turn your phone's card into a virtual flash drive on the computer. run it, and connect the phone to the pc via usb.
unless you are lookig for ramdisk which turns part of your ram into a hard drive (not very usefull as these phones dont have enough ram as is.
Bluetooth issues: just about all of the 6.1s have these issues. look for a rom that has the least ammount of bluetooth "extras" as possible.
TOUCH: touch scroling is available on just about every rom these days. most people have different sensitivity settings. you can change these settings in the registry. search the wiki.
LAST AND MOST IMPORTANT:
since your issues relate to a specific rom, keep the complaints on that thread. If you can't get help there then flash a different rom. there is a new TNT rom out here, try that one. or the slim 6.1 or any other rom that has good reviews. read the whole tread before flashing so that you can make an inteligent descision about flashing the thing or not. (I hope I don't come off rude, just trying to be helpfull)

About the Drive...
Thanks SVI,
But you're missing my point. I'm not looking for my ram to become hard disk space, nor am I looking to turn my phone into an external HD for my computer. I'm looking to turn my SD card into Internal HD! 4 months now and I'm still certain there is a way. Back in January when I had gotten this phone, I saw a program capable in doing that.
This is no longer a search but has turned into a quest for all those that doubt this even exists...
Anyways, I'll be looking into a rom change at this point. But I've grown really fond of tnt.19199 since it's been the most reliable rom to date!
Phil
A little more...
Okay, I'm 1 step closer...
Not totally there, but I found this info for Nokia phones. I suppose it's for symbian OS.
What this dioes is boot from MMC card which in turn gives you the liberty to load as much stuff as you want on the phone. The MMC card acts as the internal memory and not just storage card.
http://maemo.org/community/wiki/howto_easily_boot_from_mmc_card/
By the way, I read up on WM5torage. Is it possible to tweak this prgram to work in favor of the pda instead of the computer?? What if the pda read the sd card as internal memory instead of the computer attached???
Just an idea...
Phil
Hi,
I've come to believe that my TP2 phone's internal memory has some bad sectors, and am wondering if there is a utility that can scan for these and mark them so that they will not be used with future flashes. I've searched fairly extensively on this site, as well as on PPC Geeks, and haven't found anything that could accomplish this yet. It doesn't seem like task29 would do this (and I've used it, yet still have problems arise), and I can't seem to get more info on this around the CustomRUU or HardSPL forums.
Initially I used the stock ROM, and it worked quite well for a few months. After a while, it developed problems with a key executable in the OS. A hard reset solved this problem for another few months, when it arose again, with the same executable causing the problem. I soon unlocked my phone and flashed a custom ROM on it, and all key components worked fine. Interestingly, it seemed to be the section of the ROM storing the ringtones that was unreliably stored, and the phone would revert to silent mode after being unable to open the files (replicated by trying to manually open these files, or preview them in the sound preferences section). Occasionally these files would work, just as occasionally the faulty executable would work in the stock ROM. The easy work-around for this was to have a ringtone on the SD Card, which is what I've done for the last few months.
I would like to be able to flash future ROMs without wondering which areas of the OS would fail (and am wanting to root the phone to run the android NAND build, which is now quite mature). Is there an application somewhere that can do this? Is there a good website or resource that you can point me to that deals with this?
Thanks for your help!
I have a Rhodium 400 (Telus, CDMA) fully unlocked & with Hard SPL installed. I'm running WM5 (Energy ROM), with XDAndroid FRX04 running via haret off of the SD Card.
Doesnt sound like a chip issue. It might be something with your program that you are using. Besides, OS tends to go corrupt after a while, so a Hard Reset every couple of months, is not a bad deal.
If you have a bad chip, then you wont be able to load a OS at all.
Not a chip issue? It sure seems to be why an OS would 'go corrupt after a while'. I don't imagine it's an all-or-nothing issue, but that some portions of a chip may contain bad sectors (or whatever the equivalent is for nand).
Regardless, I hear your assertion that this type of experience is common enough. If anyone else has some insight into how this corruption may be avoided or delayed, I'd appreciate it.
Thanks.
(FRX05 on NAND will be on my Rhod 400 soon enough)
I'm suprised how little I've been able to find on fast charging the Touch Pro?
There is a mod where the battery.dll (or battdrvr.dll?) file can be replaced to trick the phone into thinking it is charging from the wall charger rather than the USB socket which can increase the current by nearly 3 times based on my testing, despite the usb limit!
The mod I'm referring to is the nuebattery one which is only available for CDMA versions and not as a CAB.
Could anyone shed any light on this, from what I've read the dll file limits the current in USB mode and all it takes is a change of a few bits to unlock the full 900mA limit, currently I get about 160mA via USB but when I shorted the data lines mimicing the AC charger I got 370mA charging current.
Thanks
If I need to fast-charge for whatever reason, I just shut the device down. I think it charges quickly via usb or a wall-charger when it's shut down, but I can't honestly say if that's the case.
What do you mean by "not as a cab"? Have you checked the SITE lately? Keeping in mind, I have yet to attempt to install the cabbed version but if that is all you were really looking for, it might prove beneficial to try installing it first. I've considered it once or twice but never made it to the actual implementation phase yet...
Though the more I think about it, the more I am tempted to install it on my testing device (raph100-GSM version)...
The only cabs's are nuePowerCPL which seems to imply it would only work with the older HTC Touch and Mogul, (I don't think this includes the usb mod anyway), and nueBattery for CDMA Touch pro 2 /Diamond which I would try if my device wasn't GSM. If you do try attepting to install it though please let me know the results.
I've tried usb charging with it turned off but I don't think it charges much faster also I'm trying to get a fast charge going as I have it in a USB dock sync'd.
I'd imagine someone somewhere will have ported it over to Touch pro GSM but I've searched for a good few hours online and haven't been able to find anything suggesting this.
So am I understanding this correctly; the file called "nuePowerCPL-152-v1.52-cab" found on the site does NOT work/is NOT compatible with our devices? Reason I ask is because I'm about to install it on my TP/RAPH100...
Additionally, I also see a battery driver available for the TP2/Diamond2, specifically for the GSM versions. I wonder what the difference is here...
Anyone would know where to put said .dll/battery.dll?
Weird, it (the program, which installs a shortcut to "start - settings - system") seems to actually "work" but for the life of me, I just don't see the difference. There again, I did just plug it in to a USB cable that I have connected to a wall adapter... :/
Ok, apparently I can't read.. I did see the cab and everything else but missed the part saying that it included a GSM compatable nuebattery - I thought that this cab was useless to what I was trying to do.
I've installed it along with the driver which states only Titan/Vogue but as expected it doesn't work, I'm still getting around 160mA reading.
battery.dll goes in the Windows folder but I don't have a battery.dll, I seem to have a batterydrvr instead. I would try renaming the battery.dll to this and pasting it in but I have a feeling I'll end up with a paper weight until I reflash, unless someone is brave enough to try. This was actually suggested in a thread on here but the discussion ended there.
The full current is allowed to flow when the data lines are shorted. The lines are shorted internally in the adapter, so yes any usb lead can work for "usb mode" and high current "AC mode".
I'm still looking to unlock high current mode for tough pro GSM ...
Need to figure out how to overwrite battdrvr.dll it won't replace it much less rename. Might need to be cooked in perhaps?
Hm is there a way of getting raw access to the files on the internal flash memory, perhaps from a bootable app on the memory card?
Actually, if this program/app/mod supposedly works with the TP2(among others), one would only need to figure out how or where to place the dll. Something tells me it isn't the windows directory; or else it would've worked (logic thinking here). Not saying it's impossible just thinking that if the file was available in this manner, one would think it would be a fairly painless process, right? Keep in mind, I've already copied the file (battery.dll) over to the windows directory with the program installed via cab and I still can't tell a difference. Am I missing something/over looking a step, perhaps?
Going to start over from a fresh flash and copy over the dll then install the cab and see if there is any difference.
The main thing I don't understand is why we don't have a battery.dll, it is a hidden file in the Windows folder according to lots of places and sounds like a critical part of WM6. Hidden or not if it existed though I wouldn't have just been able to paste battery.dll in without any conflict surley as it would still state another file with the same name existed.
I was thinking of emailing nue from the contact link to ask as like you said, there is no doccumentation for whatever reason. If you download Tbattery it shows you the current as +xxx (charging) or -xxx (discharging) so you can see if the driver is working
Bump c'mon I know others here must have something useful to contribute and would really like to get this mod working?

Looking in a kitchen for the Fuze I see battdrvr.dll and not battery.dll
I think the problem was that there is no way to overwrite that file, less you cook it in. I also have no clue as to what the difference is between the two files. Without the censent of the developer of this driver, it would prove quite difficult to re-enineer a drive for the TP (since this was for the TP2, according to the site).
Ok, for anyone interested here is what I did in the end. I bought a £5 Expansys dock which is damn good for the money. I then took it to bits and added a double pole double throw switch.
I took the two data lines and soldered them in such a way that in one switch position the phone data lines would be shorted, allowing full charging current. In the other position the data lines from the phone are connected to those coming into the dock from the PC.
I'm pretty happy with the setup now, all that is required is a flick of a switch to put it in "fast charge" mode. I still don't get the full 900mA but get about 720 with a dead battery which is damn better than the 160 from USB.
If anyone wants any guidance doing this mod I'll be happy to help.
Ok, so I have someone's Kyocera Kona S2151 flip phone. Now when I plug it into my pc in device manager there shows two "modems" and a serial port without a driver. Even after installing the specific driver for this phone from the Kyocera website it still says there is no driver. I tried to manually select the driver from the folder that was created during the install, not a single one of the 6 worked. Now all of this might even be a moot point as I don't even know if this device will allow me to pull the pictures off of it using a USB cable attached to a pc and everything on the web says I should be able to but there's also a Kona android smart version. I also can't find anything that says I can't either lol. Now I would Bluetooth but there are no options for sending photos via Bluetooth and whats worse is the antennae for the cell service is going out so it won't stay connected to the tower (I assume its the antennae, I'm not gonna try and fix something this old, also its sprint which just got absorbed by Tmobile which could also be the issue bc its pre sim card).
So, in summary, I am trying to retrieve the photos. You can't Bluetooth them, there's no SD card slot, I can't text or email them due to lack of wifi and cell service issues, Which leads to the only option left, PC USB transfer but I can't get that working either due to what I am hoping is simply driver issues. If I need to use an older Operating system that's fine I have another pc here I can mess with to my heart's desire.
I know this isn't android, rooting, modding, custom os, related but this forum is home to some of the smartest people, it's where I come to get all my instructions and files for phones. if anyone could help I'm hoping it's the community here.

It seems that now the only way is to have the driver work and then use PC USB transfer. In addition to the driver from the Kyocera website, have you tried the Google Android USB Driver for Windows? It's available on the Android Developer website. Have a try. Good luck to you.
Flip phone, not an anroid
