About ROM flashing, and increase speed of the Universal

Hi Guys, I bought the Universal for quite some time now, and would like to do more advanced stuff with it. but I am kind of new to Rom flashing; I tried to find the threads to read, but there are just too much information on this web Forum(which is great thanks guys), and I can't seem to find the right Keyword to search, which Thread would you guys recommend me to read? or any main keyword I should search for ?
Thanks and have a very nice day guys.

It's all very personal, fraid you're just gonna have to read up and find which is the best for you.

Hi,
I currently have an Blue Angel, but this will apply to you as well:
If your Universal is working fine, DON'T START FLASHING IMAGES!
The truth is that you MAY end up with a brick.
If you want to do "more advanced" things, why not look at all the Freeware applications you can use? Today, i.e., I got my fingers onto a Universal and tested it with my SD-Card which contains Dosbox and Windows 3.0.
You know what? It ROCKS!!! VGA is absolutly cool and speed is fine.
Think of all the DOS-Games you could run.
This is just one suggestion, but really: don't change a running system.
You read about it and it will seem simple. But if something goes wrong, you will regret it for sure.
Cheers,
vma

Start with the wiki - the best way to prevent yourself from bricking your Uni. You should then read the forums - the perfect way to prevent yourself suffering what others have already suffered.....

thanks for the advice vma, but the thing is, my Univeral is a bit too slow when it run what it comes with originally, so I think I will find a way to back up the ROM and give it a try...
Man I reply so late, because I was choked when drinking water, so the water was splited on to the keyboard, then like space bar and some other keys doesn't work, and to make the matter worst.... I try to dry it with a hair dryer, but I was watching TV.... and in 1 min it melted my keys ... so certain keys are now "forever stuck" so I am currently using a mini keyboard I had... will get anoter standard keyboard soon, this mini keyboard is making me very tried

I hope you are referring to a regular PC keyboard and not to the keyboard of your Universal!!!
Have you tried the Registry-hack's and the section on how to optimize your Universal for speed?

HD2 Leo (T8585) Service manual

Hi
Where can I find Service manual for Leo? Any Ideas?
Only find HTC HD2 disassembled in pictures. (http://pockethacks.com/category/service-manuals/)

Also searching for that one!

I'm always amazed that people are willing to fumble around in a $500 heavily miniaturized high tech device...
Out of curiosity, guys, what the hell do you want to do inside of an HD2?

Not just inside, also if you need replacement parts, and how to test on fault units etc.

Plus there is usually a lot of good information in them
not generally available.
​

What would be really nice is the Service Manual/Schematics for HD2 and HTC Desire... now that would be great insight for porting ROMs.

Does anyone have service manuals for LEO ???

Yeah would like that , since they replaced my screen

search LeoDis and LeoAs on YouTube.
With those videos I successfull replaced the screen of my LEO.

Circuit Diagram
That looks like the schematic of the HTC Leo HD2 (T8585):
http://xkcd.com/730/

Thank you very much

I have an encrypted version of the service manual, but can't open it since it's signed with a digital ID by HTC.
If someone could crack it, I would share the document
It can be found here: http://www.mediafire.com/?6pd56hc6ldf5rkb
I found it on some chinese website

Nice one!

But I have some questions!

Is it possible to get the circuit diagram for this phone? or where to get this element "ZUV 9R"?
thanks

There are two versions, darker and lighter. But with connector and anything else it's fully compatible. Alpine always has lighter screen, this qtek i received has it too, my first hima has it too, but many himalayas have the darker one.
there is third version, with diffrent connector, but I never noticed this one.

wow.. thank you for the fast reply.. my hima lcd is broken and im having trouble finding one so i think of some alternative.. thanks alot..

[Q]Change HD2 Screen & LCD

Hi guys,
Unfortunately my HD2 fell and the screen cracked. So, i searched ebay found me a LCD and digitizer but im not sure how to change both of them. I googled a little bit found some tutorials but i don't really trust them so can anyone post a tutorial that worked for them previously? My HD2 is nearly not able to be used because of the shattered glass I was actually considering getting a new phone

Look here:
http://mperlitsch.hintergrundbild.com/htc_hd2.htm#Zerlegeanleitung
This Tutorial is working 100%. But you need a little experience to take apart electronic devices. ESD-Protection and of course a new Touchscreen or a complete Touch/LCD Combo ( cost more, but makes it a lot easier for u ). The Problem, this is all in German and you US-HD2 is a little Different, but i´ll make next time a Video, so everyone can see with moving pictures how easy all the steps are.
Maybe the tutorial above is better than nothing for you and don´t sell your fantastic HD2. It´s the Best Phone i ever had...
Grettings,
Michael

Thanks alot man just ordered my digitizer
