Just a new thread so we don't spam the tech crew working on the GPS thread as it is growing at great speed, and spam is entering...
Discuss anything you want re GPS hacking, how cool it would to stick this up HTC's rear! LOL
Last time they include a chipset with disabled software!
So, hopefully in a month or so, we should see cooked WM6 roms for our hermes, and GPS enabled in them as well...
All i'll say then is it would simply be the best device, by a massive margin on the market!
Im in for finacially rewarding the person that gets a good working hack for the GPS or a cooked rom!
Keep up the excellent work guys! for what iits worth, its made me take up a C++ programming course, hate feeling left out and not able to help!!
crossbow and internal GPS on the hermes, that will be nice.....
excellent work so far.
Wouldnt a financial reward hinder the progress on the GPS ?, If the people working on it took the prize money challenge, they would start to keep all their progress to themselves and not share it with anyone else in case it helped someone else win the prize money ?
I'm happy to pay for the efforts of the people that are working on this project if thats what is needed to get it working, but i think this idea would be counter productive to everything that has happened so far ?
I help lots of local people with free computer setup and training and wireless network problems, but i never expect to be paid for them, i simply enjoy helping local people out, and i'm sure the people working on this gps project would be the same
This is the effort of quite a few guys.. not a race. I appreciate everybody's effort, and think that if there's a collection taken, it should be divided up however they see fit.
I'm up for more than $8, btw (how much is a standalone gps people?). And I would hope that our pooled $$ would help pay for some of the time and risk that a lot of people are making.
I would tend to concur with Mosser. XDA developers is about a community working together to enhance HTC devices. Offering a prize tends to take away from the teamwork since everybody is looking at the $$$. What you see in the GPS thread is the best of this community taking chances and putting everything they've got into a common goal. GPS is the prize here.
If you want to help, don't offer money, rather grab yourself a copy of the dumped Trinity Registry from post 390 (what we know applies to GPS is in post 108) of the "ideas thread" and start looking for a device that may have a connection to something named "VIRSER_COM". It's painstaking work going through the registry line by line but numbers make the job easier....
Hardware hack enthusiasts can start googling for a chip pinout (these show what each pin does and its location on the chip) for the Qualcomm RFR6250
Here's another thought:
Developers can simply place a "paypal donations" button into their sig if they'd like to see a few euros sent their way. If people appreciate the work, they can follow the link and donate. That way, teamwork remains the top priority.
Of course, you can always donate to XDA-developers too we can use all the help we can get!

hehe i like the idea of a donation button i guess thats a result of beeing a student living on my own

I appreciate this is very basic and doesn't list pin numbers but better than nothing to start with.
Edit: found roughly the same thing again but this time it shows the interconnections with other chips (the JPG). If the the pcb traces can be identified and followed back it may be possible to determine pinout.
yeah, I've gotten that far myself. We need the actual Qualcomm datasheet on this chip, I believe, to get the pinouts. I'm gonna go and email their customer service dept. I think and pretend to be some big-shot engineer or something....
Virgin have now dropped the product. We need a further 50 units. Anyone know of any stockits anywhere?
Cheers
SteveW
I can't help, but I am intrigued as to why you need 50 units?
50 units
We use them for our parking enforcement system
You stick them to people's wheels instead of wheel clamps?
Hi Stevie,
Call me nosy but I too, am intrigued by your need.
How exactly are you able to use the Lobby for this purpose.
I suspect it has something to do with TomTom?
I have a spare one and always interested in knowing what I can do with it.
Having said that I may be interested in letting the spare one go.
Item Description : 1 Rooted HTC Droid Eris
Price : $125
Condition : 9.5/10 - I gave it .5 lower from 10 because the device itself is in perfect condition but there is about 2 cm of the rubber surrounding the charger cable that has slid further down the wire exposing a tiny amount of wire; nothing a bit of electrical tape couldn't fix / cover. (I provided a picture, but it is out of focus. I can provide another picture of this if requested, but rest assured it still charges perfectly fine)
Comes With : Original packaging and will put any custom rom on (just provide a link to the rom)
Item Location : Atlanta, GA
Shipping Details : Buyer pays for whatever shipping they want. Will ship immediately after money is received and cleared. (I'm new to the whole selling thing so give me a chance LOL)
Payment Options : Paypal
Contact Info : PM or preferably email: [email protected]
Any Additional Info: Sorry for posting this here, but I'm more of a reader (I don't like being the one posting stupid questions LOL) so I don't have the post requirement to post this in the marketplace. I will windex the screen and package the phone with gloves on so as not to leave prints.

*Moderators move this thread as needed*
If I'm asking for too much, I can negotiate, and if anyone has some suggestions for me on selling just let me know. I'm open to ideas here folks.
I'm not trying to say anything but... wouldn't trying to sell an Eris to a bunch of Eris users seem a bit silly? Good luck anyway, maybe a dev needs another one. =p
Well the guy who posted below me had success, so I thought maybe I could do it to. LOL. Well when I magically get 100 posts I can sell in the XDA Marketplace. Also maybe people who don't have an Eris but might be considering joining this community and might see my post. What can I say I'm hopeful!
Price change on aisle 5!!! Price change on aisle 5!!! ------>>>>> $125
If i had the cash i would buy it. I'd love to have a phone to load roms on and not have to worry about issues in my daily phone.
Hey man I live in athens and I'm interested
dibs. want it.
SOLD! Moderators please lock/delete this thread.
I love my prime, but as of late i noticed a small problem. When i drag my finger, it takes about half a centimeter for the device to detect movement. I've been searching around for awhile now, and the only Solution I found was an app called TouchScreenTune (I'd link it but I'm a noob, its on the market)
It fixed the problem perfectly. Only problem is, It wants 5 bucks to fix a problem with my Tablets software? 5 bucks for what is most likely a simple system file edit? sorry, not paying it.
My question comes down to this. Does anyone know what file(s) control the following variables?
Minimum movement amount
Disable movement filtering
Touch sensetivity
Palm detection
Thanks alot in advance
This post is in violation of the rules of XDA forums. You are telling people how to use an application without paying for it.
That is a violation.
Not to mention, just a completely **** thing to do.
If you do not know how to code this yourself then it should not bother you to pay 5 dollars for the application.
I used the free version for some time, had no issues, decided to buy it because it simply works without issue.
Then I bought it two more times for my other 2 tablets (prime and galaxy).
If you are so broke that you cannot afford 5 dollars to modify your 600 dollar device, well then I do not know what to tell you.
Wanting a working touchscreen without a 5 dollar fee is a completely **** thing?
Sorry, I disagree.
Well, I'm new to posting, so sorry about that, but you're right. I don't know how to "code this myself" Hence my "asking.."
No, advocating stealing, and giving instructions on how to do so, because you are to tight to pay 5 bucks for a solution to your problem is the **** thing to do.
Rather than steal from the dev why don't you pack up your prime, ship it back to where you bought it and tell Asus that you did so because you wanted a working screen. This will make them actually fix the issue. Until then this dev came up with a way to fix the issue, he deserves payment for his hard work.
Stealing from the guy who created a solution to your problem, rather than directly addressing the company which created the problem is the issue.
The fact that you are new to posting means that those rules to read and agreed to should be fresh in your mind.
Ok Please quit posting off topic to my question. Thank you for the lesson in forum ethics. I'll ask it again:
My question comes down to this. Does anyone know what file(s) control the following variables?

Most likely the build.prop file.
Load up logcat, make the changes, search for the strings changed, see if you can find it.
Thread closed. Treads a fine line between warez discussion and hacking to avoid spending $ to a Dev who's done all the work.
Hi xda-hackers!
<skipable preamble to question>
My 12yo son flashed an uncompatible image onto his SG-SII GT-i9100, which quite effectively turned it into a brick. It responds to none of the startup keycombos.
It is utterly unimpressed with the 301Kohm USB jig, that I learned about in another thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1746879 - Thanks a lot for the great information!).
It doesn't even show that a charger is connected (however I can measure a charging voltage, and the battery does get charged).
From what I've gathered, jtag-flashing is my only option. A riff box is a really nice and userfriendly device, that could help me just fine, but it's about 200 bucks, and I'm (hopefully) going to use it only once.
But I DO have a ($30) Bus Pirate (http://dangerousprototypes.com/docs/Bus_Pirate) lying around in my lab and some nice electronic tools (stereo microscope, cool soldering stations, etc.), so I am game to do some serious hacking and upon success, even documenting/sharing my adventure here.
I am a seasoned software developer and I do smaller electronics projects as a hobby.
</skipable preamble to question>
<question>
My question is:
- Since I am not a ninja in this area, I would like some pointers to where I can find a binary worthy of jtag flashing onto the device (I am guessing that I can use the stock kernel (fx. using the tool suggested here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1110160)
- I know quite little of jtag. Is there anywhere I can read about the binary padding/enveloping of the binary image I need to flash? Just a pointer would be really nice.
- Have anyone else done something similar? How did you go about it? Where can I learn how you did?
</question>
Thanks a lot for a great forum!
I humbly and respectfully try to maintaing the high level of useful information, and I better stop now before I disrespect the "keep it short" rule even more!
Cheers,

Im in the same board as you, hard bricked/dead I9100, JTAG is my only option... Looking for information about this as well...
Look here, Google search, these guys & ask local mobile repair shops (you might find someone who does JTAG's close to you).
Unless you know what you're doing, forking out for the equipment to do it yourself will more than likely end with you being the owner of a 116 gram plastic paperweight (the phone) and a several hundred dollar box you'll never use again (the RIFF box). Do the smart thing & pay someone else a fraction of the cost to do it for you with their gear.

i got a buspirate too 3.5b and it helped me unbrick many devices and i got myself a smd work station and exactly well almost exact setup.and my knowledge is limited in electronics. my friend comes over to my place to do the work, smd and all other stuffs. did you unbrick it with a buspirate? or you use other tools.
time to ressurect this thread.
/me jtags this thread
thanks
