Guy's,
I'm sadly informing you that my Uni is dead!
Actually it is not dead; it's switched on but a white screen and I can't see anything on the screen. I seems the display is damaged. I've unmounted the whole unit, did a cleanup and re-assembled but my bad luck ...
There is no spare available in my country (Bangladesh) for Uni so I can't even repair it.
Thanx to MyMobiler, it has given me the access to my device and this thread has been created using the benefit of this nice tool.
I have completed a new build couple of days back. It is a bug-fix build of v8.0 but based on 19960 core. I'll upload it sometime next week (without beta testing).
I suppose it will be the last present from "TOMAL" for our beloved Universal.
All the best.
Thanks for your hard work, for keeping our uni's alive for a long time, I hope you 'll find a solution to fix your device, and give us more great rom's.
"All things shall come to pass"
Thank you very much Tomal, your great work helped many Uni's around the world.
V8 is so stable, i am positive many people will keep on using it for a long time (I included).
So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish (and other goods from your kitchen).
Alslamo Alykom My brother Tomal
It is the most bad news today. I think it is not the end of Tomal's era but may be the end of Uni era at all for a lot of us.
I think that we should start to find a way to repair ur device not only thanking u for ur past effort. Why not to donate u to buy another one or any one from europe could send u the accessory part u need.
Anothyer solution that will take longer time is sending ur device with one of ur country citizenzs who travel frequently to Arab nations where there is a lot of workshops that can repair it. May i arrange for something like that, if u interested please PM me.
It is a call for all uni lovers to donate to Tomal to support him to ride over his current problem.

Hi Tomal,
sorry to hear your leaving the forum. However don't give up on you universal just yet. The same thing happened my device just two days ago. After two days working on it I took all of the RF cage lids off and used a spray on Electrolube FLUXCLENE. on everything including internal connectors. (Also used a hot air gun on the internal components. Build my uni back up again and it has been working ever since. Even has better than usual battery life.
Look forward to your last build, my only issue with the last one was that the front facing camera did not work.
- T
Nooooo!
I'm not saying any good byes to the great TOMAL here... after a long long time i got my self satisfied with some ROM. every thing was so at ease. even though the bugs and short comings are there but i must confess the V8 is the best, FAST & STABLE ROM ever.
pls. find a way to fix your UNI. or try some thing from Pakistan. eveything is easily availabe here....
farehmani
I agree to the post written by another member.I believe that his huge efforts making the uni so long lasting deserve a small donation from us all (say 3$) which would help him get a new screen and proceed with his fine work.
I'll now intantly check if i have a sum left to my paypal account to donate him for his work and hope for his return...
V8.0
Hello Tomal ! ! ! ! I am sad to hear that you are having problems with your Universal. I am very impressed now with your v8.0 very fast & stable since you have helped us with information on fixing the current bugs in your v8.0 rom. I must say it is truthfully the best cooked rom I have ever used on my "Qtek 9000". At this time I have everything running perfectly on your v8.0 which I have read through your entire forum for v8.0 and have fixed all the problems that I was encountering in your v8.0. The only thing I ask you to do if you can do this on your next fixed release on v8.0 to have the extended rom (storage) accept software downloads. I use a lot of third party software on my device for my company needs and have put that software on the flash disk. The other software I was forced to put on a storage card which I could not put directly in the extended rom (storage) because if I put additional 3rd party software on my device it would take up to much space. Even though I had my ram upgraded from 64mb to 128mb this year in January of 2008 year by PocketPCTechs out of California which did an excellent job and a reasonable price. Once your v8.0 is released next week I will test this. If I am 100% completely satisfied I will make a large donation directly to "Tomals Paypal" to help you in the repair of your Univerisal or toward a purchase for a used or new Univerisal on ebay. I strictly use my "Qtek 9000" for my companies which your great roms keep my Univerisal running and going. The only other thing I ask of you Tomal that the only thing I could not get to work is the "Network Wizard". I can install the software on the device but when I tap on the icon nothing happens. The only way I can get this to work is go to File Explorer then to go to windows and tap on the "Network Wizard" icon which then works. So at this time I have removed this from my device until it works properly hopefully on your next v8.0 fix. So if everybody else that uses "Tomals Cooked Roms" would make any type of donation where we have enough people contributing then Tomal would have enough donations to purchase a new Universal. That would be greatly appreciated. As you can see Tomal has put many, many hours and hard work & effort to making these cooked super great Roms possible and for the Universal to live on. So we should also help him to make his cooked roms keep going on. So let's make the difference by making a donation today.
A salute to you sir, you enabled me to get vastly more enjoyment out of my very exspensive mobile phone. You are the man!
heh!
I´m sure toghrther we can help you in some way!
Hi Tomal
I ask you to don´t give up on your Uni
We are a lot the people who are using your ROM´s very happy
So I porpose, as someone said it before, that we donate a small amount to help you buy another Uni, the piece you have broken, or any other way you want us to help you.
It´s the minimal effort we can do toghther to support the guy has been supporting and keeping alive our Uni´s around the world.
SO PLEASE ALL!!!
It´s time to really unite and help
Tomal, let us know how much you need to fix your problem, so we can see how much money we have to raise (Ok guys it´s not going to be a high amount)
Waiting your reply and hoping the Tomal´s ROM users can joint to HELP
My best wishes to all
PD: I found this site on the forum with good comments about delivery service, from China to Bangladesh I think it´s not too far?...
http://cnn.cn/shop/dopodo2-d900-universal-platform-c-138_385.html
Hope this helps, not sure if this is the part you need. But in case it is Guys look at the price, how much you think we have to cooperate for each person?3 dollars, 4 dollars!!
Let´s help!, of course if Tomal agrees
Thank you so much
Thank you so much for your feeling. I'm simply impressed!!
I'm actually not sure about which part is damaged whether it's the main board or just the display assembly. Interestingly I can still access my Uni using the MyMobiler.
Just for you guy's information, it's not easy to get any spare over mail/courier due to govt. regulations in my country. Only alternative I can see is to send the device (for repair) to Europe or other places when someone traveling there.
Hi Tomal it seems the cable which transmits signals to display got broken, my offer to you is if you can post your uni to me here in UK then i ll get it fixed for you and will send it back, you have done so much for us now its time for us to do something for you

PD: Perhaps this guy can help also: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=405566
he´s so greatfull to this site that maybe he can do something, just an idea..
Tomal: Can you buy a new or second hand Uni in your country from anywhere?
If so, then I suggest we have a collection and send Tomal the money directly so he can buy it himself, this way there is no problem with shipping and the mail
If not, then we could buy a new screen from eBay and try to send it in the mail to him - this would be cheaper but more risky. A small flat screen should fit quite easily into a letter and be very hard to detect, shouldn't it?
I love Tomal's ROM, I was starting to hate my MDA PRO with WM5 but I love it now that his ROM is installed
Uni's are quite cheap nowadays, I just looked on eBay and the average price is between £100 and £150. I am willing to donate a large percentage of the total cost, I think I can afford about £40. Come on guys dig deep, Tomal has done so much for the Uni and there are very few active chefs left!
A moving note from Tomal. Well surely I will wait and try ur final 8. The last is always the most meaningful one!
Best Wishes! Million Thanks to you for the 7.7 as it's the rom I used for quite a few months unable finding a replacement in previous months. Now I use Darkforcesteam's
It's time to try a more powerful PPC, so many for you to choose out there these days!
Saludos
It will be a pleasure for me to help Tomal, pls let me know what will be the way.

I have a prophet which I have no use for. It is not in the best condition but is in fully working order. Comes from orange but is unlocked and is running one of the old i-mate roms...
Now i can't decide who to donate it to but if any of you have ideas I will gladly accept any suggestions.
I only have the handset as i bought it years ago.
I DO NOT WANT MONEY FOR THIS AS LONG AS IT GOES TO SOMEONE THAT CAN APPRECIATE IT AND WILL NOT TRY TO SELL IT ON TO MAKE MONEY.
if the moderators have any ideas - maybe a competition of some sort
kind regards,
krassen
P.S. - photos can be found at http://81.86.99.181/Prophet/
hope it goes to a good cause
to me! (joke - I don't need 2 prophets)...
give it to crestdelta he needs a new phone

Happily!
I already have a TyTN, but my father is jealous of it and would love getting a PPC!
EDIT: A competition would be a great idea, considering some might not be home 'till late and miss the offer.
EDIT 2: We (me or my father) would happily pay for the shipping
i'm sure some devs/cookers could use it.
i'll gladly take it off your hands & will pay shipping. Need it for the missus, she's been looking for a pda-phone since her palm t5 died.
please pick me!!
ta
No no no pick me!
Heheh.
up to the guy donating it, but i think it would be put to better use going to a developer than 'somebody's missus' ?
Yup, first, try to find a cooker that does need it so that he can release ROM's for it. That is, first, post to the Prophet Upgrading forum. If you don't find anyone or not any cooker / dev needs it, you can also think of me so that I can start publishing hands-on experience Prophet infos too.

Yup, experienced cookers / hackers / devs that would really like to release ROM's and other device-specific stuff for the Prophet should be preferred.

Let Midget_1990 have it if he plans to release cooked ROM's for it - after all, ROM's are more important for the general public than mere device-specific tricks & compatibility infos / reports I'd publish.
i'm not a cooker
I don't make roms
I don't really know what the Prophet is
I already have an Orbit
But I WILL swap you it for half a carrot, a turnip and a bag of frozen garden peas (although you will have to organize your own freezer van to ensure they arrive to you in a still frozen form..)
Sorry - its the wine talking.......I'll go away now......
I would be glad to get that prophet because I need to have a working phone during daytime for my work.... so I can only flash at might because I can't miss any calls from customers .... I get verry litle sleep because I have to do all my coocking and flashing at late hours
there is the best candidate ^^
(rom's are no problem btw )

Things that might improove
Hey,
The ROMs here are actually quite good but even if the ROM from HTC (the new one) does not compare with the ones made by XDA gurus they did some nice stuff...for example clearing the storage automatically after flash (no hard reset??) and the radio looks to be quite good it has all the countries in EUR now and the auto network configuration actually works...and there is no bluetooth activated right after flash...
Maybe some of these good things can be implemented in the new custom ROMs also...
More than blaming HTC for its ****-ROMs , we should contact the people who is working on port the Diamond drivers.
i think that zaharakis says what we all feel
htc tricked us
i can play videos and emulate gba games fluently at mt 3 years old ipaq 2490
while i cannot even turn the screen instantly to the stupid kaiser
and think how it would be if we didn't have the chefs

I wished the same thing until I realized that here in this forum we only represent negligible fraction of what could make an impact at all for their revenues.
hi guys,
i used the kaiser since few month with the org. german vodafone rom 1.58.... and all thinks work fine except voip with the rear speaker problem, and no drivers .. we all know.
Yesterday I use the new official german rom and this works so bad for me ... same speed, problems with the touchscreen, BT headset works but kaiser works slow with BT on.
Before I throw the Kaiser off the window :-/ I wait for a community rom with diamond drivers and give the people here a detonation for that. No more money to HTC from me.

Why don't we all let HTC know this... Mail them, all of you, it's costing them money and time to reply to those mails.
Still didn't get a driver, which they promised us and a crappy performance when it comes to graphics... So don't frustrate the people over here with your shortcomings, but irritate the HTC staff .
That's just my point of view...
(For example: create an example mail (like the one on htcclassaction (or so) and mail it all to this crappy company)
Cooked wm6.1 ROM > *anything

Sorry..Why u r angry?...also all the coocked 6.1 ROMs are sucks...i tried theme all ( full of bugs ) and dont let u even use the device the way u like...
am using the HTC offecial ROM i ( WM 6 ) all the needed program are running very good ( Arabiser for the arabic users like me although this arabizing softwares did is not the offecial for HTC, windows live working,Skyps workin, camer i dont use so musch but the pic's i took are very good,GPS working ( using sygc7...so what else you dream off ????????? the only this that make me try the 6.1 is the sound of my Gabra 8040 voice is not that loud i need ( i live in a noisy country)...and just we all should know that this is a PPC not a PC u ca not just load it with tons of programs
the only thing i think HTC should do is to use MVC insted of the buil in program althought that program runs very good but we all like the MVC
I remember when!
Remember when they "HTC" announced the Kaiser II , the promo how cool it looked. We all couldn't wait, built in GPS smaller design "not as thick" I fell for the hype. Now what are they pushing the "DIAMOND" wow lets all sell our Tilt's and Kaisers II on eBay and go out and buy a Diamond. but wait what is the Diamond missing what are it's short falls. Do we all trust HTC since they have been so honest with us up to now, it seems that everyone is tring to make a Iphone look alike. If you want an Iphone buy one. it's cheeper then a Kaiser II and you can get 2 for the price of a Diamond. I like my Tilt and I am going to keep it. but I don't like HTC and I would be willing to contribute to any legle suite or team that can go after HTC and hold them accountable. They may reside in a foreign country but I live in the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, and we know how to screw someone in court. Land of the Free and home of the Class action suite! I am extremely happy to belong to this XDA community, I feel like this is a big extended family and we have family members all over the world. We have all been waiting long enough and apparently in vein, for HTC to release video drivers. I believe they never had any intention of correcting these problems. Oh and one more thing I never used a Windows machine at home until I got my first HTC device Samsung SX66, then 8525 now the Tilt. I am a die hard Mac user have always been. but in the world of PDA's Windows is King! I can't get what I need out of an Iphone and looks like I am not going to get what I expect from HTC. Shame on you HTC you took a customer that bought a new device each and every year and drove me to this. maybe your next years P&L will open your eye's.
Ed...
I'm sorry, but how exactly does moaning about a multi-milion dollar company on a developer forum do any good?
I'm sure the folks at HTC are reading all this on a daily basis, and take pity on your plight, and will be releasing a driver asap to make us all happy.
The kaiser does what it's supposed to - it's a business centric device and as for the multimedia part, it might not be a monster, but it does do the job relatively well.
Face it, HTC doesn't care about a 7 month old device, neither do they care about you. Try and think about it from their point of view - Releasing a brand new device boasting of 3D capabilities is MUCH better for sales than worrying about implementing it on an already released crippled one.
With that said, I hope this will be the last of such threads and the ROM development forum is no place for this sort of rant anyway.
So... after thinking it for a long time I have gone back to the original WM 6.0 ROM.
- Official WM 6.1 update by HTC: No text in landscape mode, programs crashing, skype does not work
- Cooked ROMs based on this: same problems with landscape
- Cooked ROMs with 1.65 radio: do not work well with my router, slow GPS fix
- Other cooked ROMs: display problems, have many programs I have no use for or I have to install others that came as standard (this leads to little storage free at the end). Skype does not work on most cases.
- Original ROM: Big free storage, GPS works fast, WiFi works, Skype works, all programs work, no crashes.
So, by updating what the hell do I gain?
My other choice would be WM 6.1 3.02 ROM, I've been using it for weeks, but hell, in the original ROM skype works.

It helps if we don't buy into their next product. Multi-million dollar companies are made buy consumers. If you take away the consumer then you don't have a multi-million dollar company.
why dont we all put our kaisers in a big bag and then take this bag in a helicopter and release over HTC Corp. (with some TNT, or some Hydrogen in Fusion) and Bang !

And please post your thank you post to show some support to Master tomal....
Calm down my friend
Our dear Tomal has stated that unless Uni leaves him, he has no plans to abandon it soon!
One of the best ways to say thanks is donating!! (To XDA or Tomal)

Special thanks to: orb3000, luca15thebig, rajivshahi and Tomal
We will still catching us around!
Good luck with your new device!
I´m sure later you´ll return to Uni
Cheers,
Enjoy your new toy. Good luck.
Enjoy your new device and will definitely catch you soon ,,, and glad you got another HTC lol so you'r still gonna be around in xda-dev the greatest community...
He'll be back to the Uni - if he can find one to buy. Some of us have tried those other devices and found the Uni the device to have. In case someone else out there is considering selling their Uni, I strongly advise you keep it even if you don't use it. You'll find yourself craving for a Uni again, and then be glad you never sold it!

I haven't used mine for ever, but every time I tink of selling it I just can't bring myself to go through with it. In fact, I pulled it out this afternoon and re-charged it. I don't know why, I guess I just miss it
Hi,
This there anyone within the UK that could upgrade my Uni for a price?
From 64 -----> 128mb
Try www.retronix.co.uk.
Give them a call and ask for HTC universal upgrades.
The cost is £80 plus postage, or £50 plus postage if you supply the ram chips.
My venerable old uni is being upgraded by them as we speak. All I had to do was to send the phone to them. They take payment when the job is complete.
I'll post again when the upgraded phone arrives, just to let you know how it went.
Hey Thing, are you still cooking for Uni?
Nice to see that Orb and Jonny are still around.
I was supposed to get back my Uni today from repair, but it's missing
Let's hope next Monday my friend give me good news.
Cheers
Heyy ultravox

Oh I see, Hope you can play with Uni very soon!
And hope Tomal give us a surpise soon!
I think you see him on HD section right?
Have a great weekend
Hi All,
Im still kicking about as well, and still keep the Uni charged. I never did get the memory upgrade, is it worth the money?
Regards
Jay
Hey!
Great to see you around too!
I have not upgraded too as sending and receiving my Uni in México will be almost imposible due to customs
From what I´ve heard from Jonny upgrade it´s worth!
Hey Ultravox, good to see you're still active too.
I've come back to uni because the other devices I've tried (Kaiser and Magic) just can't compete for media playback, UI speed and flexibility.
I'm currently fiddling with a 128mb-specific build of 6.1, tuning the OS to make proper use of the additional RAM. I doubt I'll do a 6.5 ROM though, it just seems too slow and clunky to use on any hardware set.
My 128MB upgraded uni is now back (turned around in about 4 days). Total cost was £114 including VAT and courier to the south of England.
The phone's working fine, no issues with the upgrade so I'd urge anyone to give retronix a try.
They also do PCB repairs, so I bet they'd be able to fix a wonky USB port easily.

It's really cool to see all this guys around. it reminds me when I had time and patience to cook with THING, Tomal and Leo roms/kitchens.
Maybe I'll try to cook a rom for my HD, who knows.
Tomal as been missing from HD section. I sent him a PM asking for news and how it was but got no answer yet.
Next week I will get my Uni. Most probably I won't do the memory upgrade because of the cost, since it's my second device.
@ Simon, the repair was for free
Cheers

Yeah I saw this picture is, the problem is that watching a video of how it is and there touched elsewhere on the board, except to the chips themselves, but here the picture shown above of chips Pins have to bi conected, here's the video link.
http://www.tudou.com/programs/view/Ym0seAAZuJc/
you can clearly see him solder the links together near the end of the video, I think the rest of the work is just cleaning the board ready to take the new chips and adding flux.
Thanks
Thanks for the quick response, you will copy the entire page and give it to people who will carry out this operation, the donor and is now waiting to go but all successful, as is understood in advance to install rom to support 128mb
