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 ,
晕死,EN文太差,还是打中文吧。 到http://www.ioicn.com.cn看看,有高人能搞定它!!

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.

Nice topic here, but can somebody tell me step by step from scratch, how to upgrade RAM for O2 XPhone IIm (Amadeus)
Thanks.

Enable 57Mb RAM in ROM 1.66.405.2

Before anyone shoots me down by saying search etc - I have spent the last 30 minutes trying to find a straightforward answer to my query, to no avail!
I am sure there are others here (Noobs like me) that would like an easy explanation, so here goes:-
I have an Unlocked HTC branded HD2 on Virgin UK
ROM 1.66.405.2 (76641) WWE
Manila 2.5.19211619.0
Radio 2.06.51.07
448Mb RAM showing
What I would like to know is what Radio ROM can I use to allow my HD2 to have 576Mb RAM available?
I know I can reflash the whole thing with another 576Mb "enabled" ROM but I am quite happy with the ROM I have got?
Is my question unreasonable? Is there an easy & straightforward solution to my question?
Thanks for taking the time to read this - any help would be gratefully recieved.
BTW - this site is awsome!
Cheers

short answer ...... no. the extra ram needs a combination of correct radio and correct rom.

Hi samsamuel,
I just upgrade from v1.48 to offiicial ROM 1.66 707.1 (76641) WWE, Radio2.06. And I only got 448MB of RAM, how can I get 576MB of RAM?

You need the T-Mobile ROM and radio. Don't flash with the SD card method or you will be stuck on a 2.0 SPL.

you need a custom rom not an official one

you guys need rom 2.01 or newer and radio from the same rom.

Thanks mate! I see that you are running [ROM][WWE][1.2.10]PDAVIET-HD2 V14 (Core 28223) ★ OS 2.02.531 - are you happy with this ROM? I havent tried a cooked ROM yet, so would be good to get your input / feedback.
Would be nice to have the 576Mb RAM etc.

yes that is correct, the phone has 448mb of ram unless you use a custom rom/radio to unlock the extra 128, you are seeing the amount after space is used by the rom

Cant understand that. Where is 448 ? before custom rom or after ?

, you are seeing the amount after space is used by the rom

the 128 difference is for graphics, not the rom.the space the rom takes is 512 less whatever you show as total storage space.

haha sorry mate i change my signature once a year btw I'm currently using the new Touch X rom... no problem so far. To be fair a can't see any diference between having or not the 576mb because i'll never use it all. HD2 at its own is fast.

hehe, ok, here goes.
stock HD2 = 512 meg storage memory and 448 meg ram.
Of the 448, 128 meg is for the graphics, so your system shows 320 meg ram (336.93 meg program in your case)
when you unlock the hidden 128, you have 576, BUT 128 is still taken by the graphics, so your phone shows 448meg (454.81 in my case with the extra 128meg enabled)
when you flash a rom, and it installs windows and such like, it uses the 512 storage memory, (and i'm a little hazy on how much it takes up, and whether the radio is on there too, , probably is,) , , BUT whats left after the rom is in is your free storage memory. 180.23 in your case.
here endeth the lesson.

samsamuel !! GREAT LESSON !!!!
Bless you
Any way to have more storage memory? (not asking about clearing some exe's, temp or cache etc, and obviously not asking about SDCards )

Best and biggest way is to use a low profile rom. One that has a lot of stuff removed, and then you add the stuff you do use after.
I don't use many apps, and teh rom i use comes with just a few of the most usefull stuff, and while you show
Storage:
Total: 180.23
In use: 137.75
Free: 42.48
mine is
Storage:
Total: 262.53
In use: 80.3
Free: 182.23
Quite a difference!
Moving things like your cache and google maps to the storage card helps.

Cheers

see thats not only off topic but its also research you should do yourself for best results.
Theres a rom link in my sig, give it a try, i use it with radio 2.08, but one tip, read the chefs first 3/4 posts thoroughly, and stay away from sd card flashing.

[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 ;-)
