Typhoon RAM upgrade

I upgraded the RAM in my Typhoon to 64 MB using a HYB25L512160AC-7.5 chip, but the device always sees only 32 MB. I'm not so familiar with the software stuff. Can anyone modify the bootloader to enable 64 MB RAM? That would be really sweat!
Thanx!
I'm also interested in upgrading rom in typhoon so if anyone know howto make this phone working with bigger (64 or maybe 128 ) memory, please share with us
( I'm form Poland so forgive me my mistakes )
I thing my devices software can only see 32mb... it's maybe a driver problem...
How you upgraded RAM???
If you can post here some pohotos, OK??
and post too system info on your WM
Thank you
There is a big problem because memory has a FBGA package so you have to use a hot air solder I haven't changed RAM in my mobile, but I'm looking for a shop where I can odrer this (HYB25L512160AC-7.5 ) part in good price.
max95 - where did you buy this part?
Maybe Hardware or ROM donot support RAM update.
I think you need to modify the IPL oR SPL ,

I do think aout SPVE100 someone used to upgrade it to 32m ram but not any more 'cuz the CPU don't support
I think this must be the same problem
BTW did you feel anything different after you upgrade it ??? a little fast??

What the hell........?
This is a 512MB memory chip as "...L512..." reveals that.
With this your Typhoon will be WM9 ready.
Don't forget to upgrade your CPU.
Any way u can show how u did it?

512 Mbits that is 64 Mbytes.
to be precise the chip is 32Mx16bits.

[Q] difference 448 ram vs 512 ram on hd2

is there a significant difference between the two sets : one with 448 ram and one with 512 ram
will there be any difference in the outcome if i install android
1) on nand
2) on sd card dual boot with win 6.5
3) dual boot with win 7
i have used an hd2 with 512 ram and i have used android in all three condition mentioned above and i am really satisfied with the result. however due to some problem i had to sell off that phone and now i am getting another hd2 but with 448 mb ram. will it be a noticeable difference. please help to the earliest.
If you use MAGLDR to boot Android you will have 576MB of RAM But you will only have 512MB of ROM so you will have to use AP2SD so you will not run out of internal memory for your HD2. Also some Android ROMs have a version for the TMOUS (576MB of RAM) and a version for the EU HD2 (448MB of RAM)
Correction Both types have 576 ram, it is just hidden in the reg hd2,, running magldr (or clk I assume?) unlocks it.
The tmous versions of android roms are bigger, and don't rely on the ext partition, because of the double sized rom, nothing to do with ram.

This is a question I have been trying to answer for myself Sam. if you will take a look at nmy guide where i added the info on cLK (which I am using now). I put in there a little bit about I do not think it unlocks the extra128MB of RAM like MAGLDR does cause I can find absolutly no mention of a yes it does or no it doesn't. Matter of fact I can find no mention of the subject at all anywhere besides what I put in my guide.
So if anybody out there knows the answer to this question for 100% prof positive please chime in here.
i am sorry but one set has 448 and the other one has 576 ram
none of the mobile is of tmobile. so i guess it does not matter both are equipped with 578 ram and its just that one shows shared and the other one shows total where as that is also shared. am i correct ?
Get a stock regular hd2, as they ship from HTC, it has 320 total useable ram, plus 128 taken by the graphics chip.
Flash a tmous based rom (or magldr) and a tmous radio to that phone and it changes to 448 useable plus 128 for graphics chip, just the same as a tmous.
I am using a EU HD2 with android running off SD Card and when I open Advanced Task Killer, it says I have aprox. 250mb ram free, is this a normal amount?

[Q] Help !! HD2 Android

I m a noob here, I have a HTC HD2 which I recently flashed it with Hybroid GBX V12, now the problem is
I have heard that HD2 has ram of 576mb, and some ram is hidden. Now when I check my ram it shows 384mb of Ram.
Please let me know how shall I unlock the remaining ram.
Note: My model is T Mobile HTC HD2
whichever rom you use you will see 411 mb ram not more
i flash typhoon 3.5.3 on my hd2 but the adhoc networks not working on this rom ..who one can help me..

ram memory only 412 mb

I am using nand android, curently, sense of eclipse on my htc hd2 tmobile, and very strange to me is that i have so litle RAM, device is showing 412 mb totall, but my device has 576 Mb ram ?
Is there any solution to increse to actual size of RAM ?
sorry for wrong section
You should be actually posting this in Android QnAs, but thats not a big deal. The .50 radio that you flashed, only unlocks the 576 mb of RAM for WM. Mapping and editing of the kernel,zimage and maybe the startup.txt is required. Until now, the full 576 MB or RAM has not be available for use in Android. Only 448 MB or RAM is available currently, but that is if you add available RAM and system RAM. Your NAND build should be using the 448 MB or RAM. Currently, i presume either the devs are trying to get the full 576 MB of RAM, or its not possible. Firstly, getting the Android system to recognize the 576 MB or RAM would be easier if the device boots straight into Android. Secondly, this can most likely be available only on NAND. Thats all i can provide, as an answer to your question. You,me and probably most members out there know this is quite a big deal, to use the full 576MB or RAM,but the devs has not provided a definitive answer yet. Maybe we can wait it out and see...
Thanks , the answer you wrought was full !!!
Now waiting for solution, becose this android ROM that I am using, eats RAM like candy ;-)

[Q] RAM Unlock

I did my best and searched the forums, so forgive me if I missed this particular thread.
I've had this HD2 for quite awhile, and thinking of changing to another stock ROM.
I read somewhere that the HD2 actually 576mb of RAM.
Does anybody know of any ROMs that take advantage of the "locked" RAM? Or any awesomely fast NAND ROMs with Sense that has built-in OC functions (I saw a ROM that had 1.53GHz OC)
I just want to maximize the use of this awesome phone.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Flash dorimanx kernel. It supports 1.5 ghz
it seems impossible to unlock the memory
there are many oc roms,eg,dansta34's Runnymede Sense 3.5 android 2.3.5 OC daemon & HierOS 1.8.3 ker,however,you should know you do oc at your own risk
There are two versions of HD2

Confirmation please?
Someone with an TMOUS HD2 can please confirm this? Can you actually see the 576 Mb reported?
tmous has 576mb ram . Eu hd2 has less.

Lol. You mean ROM. They both have same RAM.

No, he meant RAM.
Check the website i posted...
As far as that was concerned, I heard the newer radios after 2.14 unlocked the extra portion for the system. I'm on 2.15. That was the case for the euro hd2's I heard awhile ago. Until the new radios stopped being updated.
You can check if your in windows mobile, just be sure your on the newest radio and you should show 576mb
Also.. http://www.slashgear.com/euro-htc-hd2-hidden-ram-matches-newer-us-spec-model-2871874/
android terminal, run "free", report back please
Everybody don't confuse RAM with ROM with processor speed...
Edit also : you could just search before you post. This is just way several topics below : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1350210
No confusion. For now, it states:
TMOUS : 1GB ROM, 576 RAM
EUHD2: 512ROM, 448 RAM.
Leave cpu clock out of this topic please
Tmous - 576
Regular - 448
Regular with a tmous rom and radio - 576
They do both have the same ram, only some is hidden on the regular, only unlocked in certain circumstances.
We all, reg and tmous, show 411 under android.
Looking at another thread... i think we're all mistaken.
Both devices have the same amount of ram. The total ram reported on WM65 was not queried via a command, but a simple file pretty much like we do on build.prop on android.
So, both devices have 448 RAM, and 128 GPU RAM.
That's better...
I was actually thinking that was probably it... like those crappy laptops or motherboards with shared memory definitions for RAM and graphics board ... still much more ram than my first one (256 Mb Apple iBook)...

Can someone please update the device page on the pdadb?

Yeah, basically a Tmo-US is the same as the EU HD2 but with the 576MB RAM unlocked by default (EU needs a newer radio, from .14 onwards), 1GB ROM (as opposed to 512MB), a T-Mobile logo and red/green end call/call buttons (respectively).

just for the purpose of accuracy, its the 50/51 part of teh radio version that determines whether it unlocks the memory.
Any radio that is safe for tmous to flash, (and by definition work with android) will also unlock the ram on a regular hd2. Thats 2.07.50 onwards.
Any x.xx.51, or 2.05.50 and 2.06.50, radios will..
1 - brick a tmous
2 - not unlock the ram on a reg leo
3 - cause magldr (and presumably cLK too) not to start.

Yeah that's what I originally thought but the post on the previous page made me doubt myself :L Thanks for clearing that up.
