Hi,
I wonder if there`s any possibilities to moderate/hack Fujitsu Pocket LOOX N100 which has a Windows CE 5 core. The device has a Samsung 300 MHz processor, and 64 MB internal memory. Navigon 6 is installed and the manufacturer says the device is "locked". So would it be possible to hack this device so that it could be used with f.ex TomTom and TCPMP?
I know this is not a phone/pocket pc, but i pray for help anyways
I have tried to hack it. But without any results. There is no active sync, so you can't hack the registry. I made a dump of the update (1.16.0). I can play play Pacman on my own device .....
I know what I want to change, but I can't build a nieuw image for the moment. I'm working on it, but it is a bit difficult!
I did it!
But, I can't deploy the picture yet!

Cool! What did you do, and what are you now able to do? Do you have an image to share?
Any interesting mods for the N100 out yet? How to unlock it is already known, see here: http://www.mediafire.com/?celjlwwzbb1
Hey, it is even a HTC Device...
Especially, any idea how to upgrade the GPS firmware? Using the GPSROUTER command of the boot loader + SirfFlash doesnt work for me, and any of the gps update programs of other WinCE devices dont seem to do the trick either. Im stuck... too bad, from my Loox T830 I already know which firmware I would like to have...

By the way, since some people seem to be still trying:
I did some analysis a while ago on my N100, and I think one main point is that whatever baud rate you set SirfFlash to, it will change to 115.200 in the process. So this is why the GPSROUTER doesn't work I guess.
I was almost (?) as far as being able to at least read the firmware by using this method:
- Find RX and TX lines on the N100 mainboard
- Disconnect them from the system
- Find the TTL level RX and TX lines on a PC mainboard (before the chip that changes the serial voltage +/-12V!)
- connect N100/PC: TX-RX and RX-TX
- connect an oscilloscope to the lines to listen what's up
This is where I found with the oscilloscope that whatever baud rate I set, it seems the SirfFlash always changes to 115.200 after the first initial contact to the chip.
Unfortunately then I was very dumb and destroyed the com port on the used mainboard by creating a short circuit - and that was the end of my trials. The N100 is working Ok, still, after re-connecting the RX and TX lines.
If anyone is interested I might post some pictures about where to find RX and TX on the N100 mainboard later.
Just in case anyone is still trying: Somehow it seems to me that all my experiments to flash update the GPS firmware in the N100 seemed to fail due to baud rate issues. Tracing the serial communication I saw that every time after uploading the data that is supposed to set up the GPS chip to accept the firmware files, the baud rate of the transmissions from the chip side would be at some different value than originally set up. So always the "answers" would not be understood by the PC used for programming. There seems to be no baud rate at which to set up the PC so that the communication works later on. I gave up now, and use the N100 only sporadically anyway...
Long time bump. Just picked one of these up at good will for 1 dollar!!! Don't even know if it works. But I noticed that the plug is not the same as a reg old school USB. Does it use an standard USB? If not are plugs still available? And #2 there was no SD card in it are the maps that were on the USB available?

My Tilt is crazy, and is driving me nuts. I am hoping someone here could diagnose and help me fix the problem.
I've had this phone for about 2-3 months now. I've been running Sleuth 1.2 ROM, with Radio 1.27.12.11.
Once in a while ActiveSync (I use it via USB) would not connect, something that normally was resolved by a soft reset on the Tilt, or a reboot on the PC, or both.
Last week I installed the Daylight Savings Time update that Microsoft distributed in March. I don't know if that caused any problems or not, but the point is that later on the Tilt could not get the AT&T phone signal (it was showing no service), but still could get the data connection (3G in my area). This happened after a failed ActiveSync session.
After reinstalling the ActiveSync on the PC, soft reseting the phone, trying to sync via wireless, I gave up, did a hard reset, and restored a backup made before the DST update. Everything worked, but the Tilt became extremely slow. The screens were sluggish.
I then did another hard reset, installed first the DST patch, tested the phone and everything was ok. Then I reinstalled all my programs. Everything worked perfectly, the phone was fast, ActiveSync was working ok. It stayed that way for about 1-2 weeks, until today.
Today, when I first connected the phone to the PC via USB, as usual it went through the ActiveSync process, then Sprite Backup kicked in, did its usual resets, backed up, and at the last reset after the backup was completed, ActiveSync gave me the "can't connect" error message.
The signal indicator shows no phone reception (but I get data transmission through 3G and through my router), after each reset an error message pops on the screen for a fraction of second and vanishes, no allowing me time to read anything, and the calendar and the contacts don't open. Mail opens ok but it isn't updating. When I try to open ActiveSync on the Tilt, it flashes and vanishes.
I did a couple of soft resets, tried to use safe mode, but nothing seems to resolve the problem.
I don't want to restore the backup and get the bad performance again, and I would rather not have to reinstall all my programs without knowing what is going on, as I am afraid it will keep on happening over and over again.
I would appreciate ANY help or suggestions.
Thank you

That is not exactly the kind of help I was looking for...
I'm having same problem and cannot find a solution. My phone is dead to me. Can't open contacts, calendar, activesync, or make any phone calls.
ARRRGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
didnt really read the whole thing cuz theres just too much all together...use paragraphs next time but maybe a new flash either your current rom or a new one..
I today started having the same problem for the 1st time. Tilt is 4 months old using the latest rom provided not a cooked one yet. Have several additions and apps added to the phone. I can access the web and sms/mms, and all data but no cell signal and no access to certain programs or my contacts. AT&T tells me it's a device issue and they would have to send me a new on some time next week and i need my phone for work. Any help is greatly appreciated.
For those of you who are having this problem i performed a HARD RESET, and then a restore and it corrected my problem
Hello.
I just have some questions:
1 - Qhen i am using spype, i must to set my phone locked and in standby. But when i got any skype call, my screen just light, wthout any ring, so i miss many calls. Any solution? i just want to hear skype ring while in standby
2 - The battery look short if i keep using 3G. how can a 3g phone eat tat so?
thanks
anyone ? i'm really needing help
i dont know why your skype is not ringing, when your phone in stand by, mine rings!!
what rom are you using?
In answer to your second question, 3G uses your battery faster because it is higher speed than GPRS.
HSPDA uses even more power then 3G (In my experience anyway)
So yes, if you connect over 3G your battery will run down faster!!
(it will also run down as skype is constantly requiring your phone to stay logged in etc, even when your phone is in standby skype will still be doing stuff like listening for calls etc etc)
to stop this, can you tell me what redio you are using?
i hope this helps
very thanks, bennec.
my radio is
0.93.25NS16
ROM
193..921.2 WWE
any idea about whats happening?
i also tested other HTC and is same thing.
I install skype and i let online status using 3G, so i press top button and go to stand by. right? so the screen is locked, but when i got a call, the screen just lighting without any sound? its like a silencious mode.
Can i assume that you still have the original HTC or Service provider ROM installed? (The radio you quoted is not a radio!! see below)
Possible Radios:
Radio v1.00.25.03
Radio v1.00.25.05 (Quad Band,Save Power and have better Network Connection!) "Highly Recommended"
Radio v1.00.25.06 (Quad Band)
Radio v1.00.25.07 (Provided by duttythroy )
Radio v1.02.25.11 (Provided from Bepe )
Radio v1.03.25.18 (Provided from Bepe )
Let me know if you have the original rom and radio installed, then we can get a solution for you.

Well, i am using rom 193.405.1 and radio 1.00.20.05 as you suggested but the problem continue even if i test other HTC diamond.
realy wierd1. maybe my skypein/out ? i believe that is connected to a skype bug or similar.
I've recently bought a used Diamond and I've never had the GPS working. I've tested it with Tomtom 7 and the HTC GPS Tool but it will not find any satellites. Calling the HTC Service helpdesk they told me there are probably no satellites above this part of my country. Eventually I got through to them and they accepted my phone for repairs.
Now then, wednesday a week ago UPS came to get my phone and brought it to Eurotwice in Belgium for repairs. So I was pretty excited that my phone was getting repaired. Yesterday however my phone was returned and when I tested it, there still was no satellite discovery at all.
On the repair form it says the failure was: GPS defect. So you would think if they acknowledge that it is broken, they'd fix it. Now on the form it says they charged me for three things (which all were free of charge though):
- Sub-Assy to 82H,GENERIC,Navi pre-assy w/ keycap
- Administration, analysis, repair, test/transport
- Cable,MURATA,MXHP34HP0590TB,PL
Is there anyone out there that knows what they actually did to repair my GPS Defect, and when I'm going to call them again on monday I can best tell them?
My guess is they replaces the touchwheel, hence there was a new tape and protector on it.. but what the cable means..
Edit:
Looking in the service manual I now know what parts they replaced:

The Diamond/Touch Pro are known for horrible GPS performance. Does GPS Test find satellites but never actually connect?
Some very clever minds here on XDA were able to resolve this issue on the Touch Pro by using the GPS driver DLL files from the Blackstone. The downside? The files need to be cooked into a ROM, a CAB install doesn't work. Also, the ROM needs to be based on a 20xxx or higher ROM. The Diamond originally shipped with a 199xx ROM.
If your Diamond has HardSPL on it, check out the various GSM Diamond ROMs, find one with the updated drivers, and flash it. Your GPS should work just as good as the TyTN II.

No unfortunately it doesn't actually find any satellite at all, so it doens't even have something to connect to..
Should I then still try flashing with new ROMs as I don't have HardSPL on it now, seeing they flashed it back to factory standards.

I've had my Diamond for a couple of days now I can safely say that, reception wise, it has been the best HTC phone, compared to the Trinity & the Cruise I have ever used. I would have never thought these phones were plagued as GPS reception misfits. Huh.... reception is great under bridges and the lag is so minimal that its silly to even talk about it. Well at least mine is.
I've been testing my GPS some more with the HTC GPS tool and you can log the messages. Now I was wondering if anyone knows anything about these and if they can see my problem in them. You never know:
This is what gets repeated time after time and it never changes:
Code:
$PSTIS,*61
$GPGGA,,,,,,0,,,,,,,,*66
$GPVTG,,T,,M,,N,,K,N*2C
$GPRMC,,V,,,,,,,,,,N*53
$GPGSA,A,1,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,*1E
$GPGGA,,,,,,0,,,,,,,,*66
$GPVTG,,T,,M,,N,,K,N*2C
$GPRMC,,V,,,,,,,,,,N*53
$GPGSA,A,1,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,*1E
Ensure A-GPS is disabled.
Why ? a - gps is good innit ...
No apparently it's not all that great. I've read everywhere on these forums to have it disabled which of course I did before posting here.
I have also problems to get a gps signal on my X1.
The HTC-GPS-Tool and also my offroad navigation software Glopus shows only this:
$PSTIS,*61
$GPGGA,,,,,,0,,,,,,,,*66
$GPVTG,,T,,M,,N,,K,N*2C
$GPRMC,,V,,,,,,,,,,N*53
$GPGSA,A,1,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,*1E

The X1 gps works fine since yesterday. I have done a hardware reset and tested the gps again with the same result. Could I do everything else or is it neccessary to repair the X1?

Here, Here My diamond is the best GPS Reciver i have had, It locks onto sats in less than 30secs with a warm start, and about 1m30sec from a cold start (after hard reset) lot better than my Artemis it takes about 5mins from a warm start and about 20mins from cold start

Absolutely make sure this is disabled. Prior to this bit of knowledge, the signals would lock and unlock in 2 sec intervals. After disabling this misfit feature, everything was solid again.
And yes, there are tweaks built into some roms that chiefs are beginning to cook in to improve accuracy and dependability.. Exa
Example ROM BY: carburano

Also the choice of radio determines how quick one gets the signal. I toggle between: 1.08.25.20 & 1.09.25.23
I had RC33,
and upgraded (imo) to Cyanogen.
Im trying to pair with my tomtom G630, but no luck.
the phone sees the tomtom, shows as "paired but not connected"
the tomtom doesent even detect the phone though, despite the phone bluetooth being set to discoverable.
It worked fine before.
any ideas?
From what I know, I'm pretty sure Cyanogen mod fully supports all the BT features, maybe you got a bad flash. Check the md5sum and if its not right delete the file off your computer and redownload and wipe, wipe ext2, repair ext2 and wipe then flash.
man, i hope that's not it, everything else works absolutely perfect, tethering works beautifully.
Im more inclined to blame the damn tomtom than the G1 LOL
haha
Yeah, I use an app called CoPilot but its expensive so I recommend AndNav2
Its not that bad =]
I already bought the tom, and have updated the maps already once, so ive sunk about $400 into it, its not getting replaced any time soon.
Im racking my brain, but there just really isnt anywhere to go on this.
If i set the phone to be discoverable and run a scan with my laptop, boom its found, almost instantly.. So the phone IS discoverable, just not by the tomtom.
Ok, so now things have swerved far into the retarded lane.
My Macbook can detect the G1 just fine.
If I set the macbook to be discoverable, the tomtom will find it just fine.
so the G1 is boradcasting and can be discovered, and the tomtom is trying to detect and is detecting other discoverable devices..
but not the G1.

AH HA!!!
got it!
the trick (if you can call it that) was to do "connect to bluetooth device" not the scan for phone option.
WELL CRAP
I still cannot use tomtom traffic, says the G1 is not capable of wireless data or something to that effect.
poop.
aww haha, hmm maybe TomTom will update or a dev will code something to help out.
not sure, I don't have a car nor a tomtom lol
Please don't take this as me flaming, but did you say "Maybe TomTom will update their code"? No way! They are lazy when it comes to that, even when you have purchased their top of the line products, they just don't care. It is take it or leave it when it comes to their stuff. I had more luck working with Parrot, Cardo, and a few other companies who actually wanted to help make their products work, or at least listened to work-around ideas to help implement them.
I am stuck with a TomTom Rider 2nd edition for my 2 wheeled ride and it hates my G1 phone, all TomTom says is to deal with it or to get an older phone from their list of phones that are known to work. I even offered to pay for a new map upgrade and they said it was not enough. BTW, I had 2 GO910 models and they both took a crap in the first week. I had to fight with Circuit City to rectify the problem (even with the extended warranty). I ended up getting my money back since TomTom blamed me for having a car with a tight suspension and was not willing to fix the unit. This was on a Chrysler 300M with the touring package. When they told me that line I laughed so hard that I cried! Next time I'll get a GPS from a different company or just try the TeleNav program on the G1. I wish Google Maps read out turn by turn directions and stuff.
If you know linux, you might want to just try to hack into the GPS and work that puppy till it begs to connect to your phone.
