Dead or Brick PPC? Never! Let's Revive!!

hi everyone! I just want you all to know that bricked wizards can be fixed. How?
Technical Part
the bootloader is stocked on a memory on the Wizard, however, if we messed it in anyway the PDA won't turn on anymore, but the thing we all forget: IT'S STILL A MEMORY!
so we still can access it without the PDA running.
HOW?
i've been reeding thousands of pages,i found many pictures and many tutorials how to access ANY memory and ANY PDA, didn't got a final solution for the Wizard (till now) but i'm still looking and i found many many pda's tutorials.
the whole idea is creating a (HOMEMADE JTAG) that makes a connection between the PC's LPT Port and the memory of the bricked device, many cables are shown on the internet and tested. there is a simple design to complex design.
The signals on the JTAG connector (dual row)
I will show you some images and links so you can keep looking with me to find together a solution...
this is an example for IPAQ 3600
http://openwince.sourceforge.net/jtag/iPAQ-3600/
looks promising hun?
today i will check if the TP1 and other points are LABELED on the Wizard just like the COMPAQ In the pictures
if so then we got the absolute solution
if not i will keep looking and i will put the solution in details as soon as i discover it.
all i need is some people to help me looking and testing with me. i would say be aware and don't do this.. but if you don't you'll still having a dead and bricked phone. you have to revive it (at your own responsibility).
i don't think it's very hard to do.... just little attention and we'll do it
the good story is: if you did this once you can keep the cable, so whenever you mess with it again you just (INSTALL) your bootloader like installing a game
SUCCEED for ONCE and you have a VAMPIRIC Wizard that doesn't die TILL you hit it's screen
check what that person has done to it's PDA for direct access whenever he wants:
http://www.gert-menke.de/jtag-howto/
hehe cool hen? just like a Floppy Disk
The Type of cables you can make:
http://wiki.openwrt.org/OpenWrtDocs/Customizing/Hardware/JTAG_Cable
http://jtag-arm9.sourceforge.net/hardware.html
there's many other PDAs Fixed in This way:
http://repair4pda.org/handheld_jtag.html
i think we have a big chance that the connectors points on all board are the same (positions) or at least labeled.
please do not try anything until many one talks about it.
there's more info we have to gather together before proceeding.
and watch out the homemade JTAG has to be les than 15cm long to avoid noise...
please be active with me and i promise a solution for the Wizard as a start and later may help all other PDAs
ARE YOU WITH ME?
have fun!
Sincerly

HelpMe hx2410 dead!!!!

Hello!

From logs seemed to have successfully completed the update, but the first hardware required by manual reset the palm is no longer party! ! ! !
Removing the battery and putting, running a Hardreset by starting the handheld this Pre-BL signs of life but ......
Linking the port usb pc sees this as a device unknown but .... Activesync and other tools as mtty fail to establish a connection.
So I decide to do a silly thing ..... I left all night in the handheld pre-bl found the next day completely devoid of life! ! ! !
Now I do not know what to do as well as battery will discharge also believe that buffer precisely because not even part pre-bl.
I have performed several Hardware Reset nothing but ...
I ask a big help! ! !
NB. I have only cradle that the knowledge of the battery charged via software and hence in this case can not work! ! !
We wondered if it regenerate, and whether you should ... Or alternatives because I already spent € 200.
Thank you for everything! ! !

I think that Ipaq was not a phone... plus the rom you probably uploaded was not for that!
Try going to IPAQ original site! And they do support the device, so you can download the older rom HERE!

It is a big question, but all your questions are answered in this huge forum already, so you have to go and do some reading and searching for yourself and you will find all your answers, plus more and you will learn a lot. You will see what people said about 6.1 and you will see waht people said about BT just by reading other threads.

Dude, theres official BT fix to download from the HTC: (Bluetooth Hot Fix (for HTC TyTN II) )

1. the vibrate function can provide you hours of enjoyment, with proper placement (external or internal, your choice)
2. install as many programs as possible, filling up both main memory and storage card, using them once or twice then never use them again. after flashing a new rom, install a new assortment of software you probably don't need.
3. re-encode your favourite pr0n to ppc scaling and impress your friends with today's pocket pr0n.
4. port over wm5 from the wizard (blinding speeds, you won't be sorry)
5. read ALL the stickies in Kaiser upgrading area of forum (this isn't near as fun as the other suggestions, but you'll be able to answer your own questions, and be comfortable in the knowledge that you can hack your phone "without any help")
1 and 3 make a nice combo too!

Yes there is a WM6.1 upgrade, i am using Shaps at the moment and it seems to work fine for me.
WM6.1 doesnt give you a huge amount new, Shaps 6.1 rom for me has been stable and quick, i dont tend to install much on my phones though other than the included stuff. I do a few bits and install TomTom. 6.1 has threaded sms which is nice but has some annoying little issues, like i cant seem to find a way to forward sms messages any more. bit annoying.
Flicking through some of the other forums people seemed to be muttering about not being able to sync there 6.1 phones with ex2003, i use ex2007 though so i cant comment, mine works fine.
Havent noticed any bad sound quality over bluetooth. Be more specific though, do you mean stereo bluetooth or just normal.
I use the htc home plugin looks nice and works well.
Hope i have helped.
Rob
ps. Remember before you rush out and start flashing roms, read the wiki and things. You have to do stuff like hard spl and things first.
If i were you i would do it in this order.
1. hard spl
2. sim unlock (if needed)
3. wm 6.1 rom
4. radio rom

You are one sick and twisted individual and I like it.

Start with the beginning of the internet at www.www.com and read through the entire thing.

I like to turn on wifi, 3g, gps, and bluetooth and use my kaiser to keep my coffee warm.

Desperatly need to increase phone volume - WM6.1

Hi all,
I'm pretty new to this forum and it's my first post. I'am also not an english speaker so I'll try to make myself as clear as possible (also hope I'm in the good section).
I recently acquired an Airis T483 smartphone, running WM6.1 (very unknown smartphone, I don't even find a link to show you its charasteristics...).
Anyway, I (and users using this phone) are having a big issue, and the Airis Company doesn't want to help us.
Basically, the phone volume is really really slow. Even with all volume indicators at their max, we almost can't use the phone because we merely can hear the person calling... This is so annoying, because our first use is off course to be able to use it as a phone. And for now we HAVE to use earphones to hear correctly.
We contacted the company Airis and their support and they are saying that the volume is correct and it corresponds to the standards... They keep up saying they are not modifying firmaware and can just replace our phone with identical ones...
So this is my question : Is it possible to find a software (or even write one) that can add "gain" to the volume level (I mean that can increase the volume, even when actually it's on 100%). So we can hear when we are using the phone.
Note : use of the speakerphone is excluded for privacy reasons...
I (and not only me) will be eternally grateful to anyone who could help us, even by pointing us to something we could maybe develop (we have basic knowledge and skills in programming).
Thank you all

This is about a tweak on a windows file that doesn't exist actually in my phone... looks like it exists only in HTC made phones

Thank you for the links, but it's not working for me. I explain :
These threads are about the SRS WOW app that could effectively be a solution for me. I had a hard time with this software so I'm going to tell you what happenned :
- First you have to find the good version of SRS WOW HD for PPC with WM6.1 to have it "install" correctly. For me it was the version 1.21 found on one of the links you gave me. It's the only that installed correctly and I was able without a load error like 'ERROR : driver missing'....
- Then, my phone was silent (which was predictable according to the posts of guys who tried it with WM 6.1).
- I did the registry tweaks but it did not work. I placed correctly the old values in the right keys etc... but the phone keeps silent. Hopefully by uninstalling the program everything goes back to normal. I went through all night reading about this and it appears that the soft has compatibility issues with WM6.1 and some smartphone or PPCs (by the way, I know it's a dumb question, but have I a smartphone or a PPC ??? I'm kind of lost :s )
So, at the end, I still don't have found a solution. Pleease I'm beging... Help me find a way, don't do the work at my place, just point me somewhere to look for if you could.
I'm ready to develop something, I'm ready to give specs about my phone (BTW I discovered in the device database that it has Mono sound, not stereo... is that relevant ?), I'm ready to give a dump of the registry and look into it with help of someone... anything that could help.
If you have even just a thought, a lead, please share it. Thank you very much.
P.S : During this long night i found an application called "Audio Gain Tweaker", sounds like a dream... but only compatible with... HTC phones !!! So if someone of you guys needs a gain, he knows where to start searching

Ok, it's definitely a PPC, I got the difference now.
Regarding my problem, anyone has a clue ? What should I do, I mean can I post this thread to the Development and hacking section ???

Up ???????

I did a quick search and couldn't really find any specifics about your phone... try this program... again its made for hTC but is worth a try...

Thanks for your help, but it's same as last answer. This tweak is about a file called AudioPara3.csv which in HTC phones is situated in the windows folder. The goal is to replace it by the tweaked one, but I don't have such file in my phone and placing it into windows folder doesn't change anything ! (I tried off course...)
What do you think I should do ? Contact dev and hacking section ? Is there anyone who can help me finding relevant keys with a dump of my registry ???

Sorry - Noob question

I have a Niki100 with WM6.1.
All I am looking to do is update it to WM6.5.
I have been searching this forum for hours and am just getting lost and buried in posts but still can seem to find what I am looking for.
I do not use it as a phone ... I really only need the Storage card, Bluetooth, ActiveSync and the OS to function. I run a small app that I have developed that collects data via Bluetooth then dumps it to a PC later.
Can someone please point me in the right direction.
From what I have learned so far I need an RUU and a ROM. Are there such beasts for the Niki100 to get it to WM6.5 ?
Thanks in advance
