Chevron Labs on DVP - Venue Pro General

Anyone tried on DVP?

Yes, I will, and function.
But no interop-unlock, only for homebrew

keep an eye on this.. wait for someone to update...

If I purchase this, will I then be able to use the LED flashlight app that was made? What about Internet sharing?

Without interop you cannot access native comm and therefore no ICS. Flashlight can be done in mango now via API so no unlock is needed.

No Internet sharing for sure. Because the hardware doesn't have the capability.

Know of a working app? a few i tried said the dvp specifically does not work with most flashlight apps.

Anyone tried the interop-unlock with chevronwp7... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1271963?

You can't...yet at least

Finally, my DVP is unlocked (hope so, didn't try to install any homebrew apps yet). This time instead 550 people queed I had only 24. All you need is to login with LiveID (any, not necessarily your main identity), download new version (0.3) of the ChevronLabs Unlock tool, paste your unlock token and press unlock. It took less than 10 minutes to get long awaited message - your phone is unlocked. Thanks Chevron!

I got a bricked DVP, can I use this to unbrick it ?

Don't know. Mine was perfectly well. Probably not, 'cause unlock tool comunicates with the handset. However you may try - if it's bricked nothing could could make it bricked (but I take no responsibility)

Just unlocked my DVP via ChevronWP7 and it worked. Spent 30min in queue and it unlock in seconds. Already loaded the battery status app just to try it. Works great.

According to this (pocketnow . com/android/dell-venue-pro-may-never-get-wireless-hotspot-mode) article the dvp has a Broadcom 4325 chip (without wifi hotspot capabilities and wifi 802.11 n support) but in the hardware section of the leaked service manual I read "integrated Broadcom solution of BCM4329 WiFi/Bluetooth/FM SoC" altough in the compatibility tab appears "IEEE 802.11b/g" (no wifi 802.11 n support).
Did anyone disassembled the dvp to see what chip is actually inside?

The only difference with student unlock is that you can sideolad 10 apps instead of 3. I don't think you can install registry because Chevron unlock means no interop-unlock, wich is a deeper unlock (altough even interop unlocked dvps would need some specific programming to enable SET command in the registry).

I don't know the chip or anything like that but once I was using an app called wifikill on android to kill the wifi on my bros Dvp. And it checked the Company of the wifi module to 'quisda corporation' if that is any help.

That's not true. My phone is "student" unlocked through Dreamspark since Nodo and I can only sideload 3 apps on my DVP, unless I did something wrong.

wifi & Touch Dual? Microsoft says "ja"

http://www.microsoft.com/germany/wi...e/smartphone/default.mspx?f_brand=HTC&curPg=2
Strange, huh? It's a german site, and it claims wifi "ja" or "yes" for the all of you....
weird...
we
PS: In fact, they only got the first box correct, the second box only touchscreen and camera correct, the last box is no good either... Well done, microsoft
they also say NEIN to bluetooth or qwerty keyboard so i assume that ja as a error...
HTC Touch Dual
Actually the description is correct, a qwertz keyboard means that every letter has its own key. there is no key for every single letter!
but more important is definetly the wi-fi or wlan "Ja", imo the touch dual has a wlan chip onboard, i think its only a reg thing to activate the option in the connection manager! but don't take me too serious, cause i don't have one.
even though i'd buy one if it had wlan for sure!
if anybody could check it and posted a reply, many thanks would be for sure!
and a little money spent on ebay!
greets blue
Orange UK (the network) has the handset listed as 'non-Wi-Fi enabled' on our internal system. There are also no support pages for Wi-Fi listed from Microsoft/HTC
Well,
some guy named chainfire worked on this, but didn't have any luck, unfortunately. I would like to have wifi; it is just the ONE feature, which would make the device perfect for me... GPS is nice, but i got some in-car-navigation; i don't need it on my ppc as well...

I would even pay for the upgrade, if HTC would offer one....

Sure Hopes chainfire can figure it out..
I'm pretty positive it should be possible since the first models had Wifi, but the providers rather didn't have wifi since they want their 3G networks to be used..
So Technically I think it should be possible.. but will someone be able to figure out how to..
To be honest I'd rather have the GPS to function since I use GPRS with unlimited download to sync and surf
What do you pay for this?

Exactly.
Important things to consider and confirmed in the VF eforum above are:
1) VF allows thetering (using the phone as a modem) and will not differentiate between "modem" traffic and phone traffic. This is contrary to t-mobile for the G1. So here this is good.
2) if you go over the 500MB per month, VF will notice and if you do that too often, they may start charging you for anything above (after notifying you few times of course).
P.S. this is why I believe Google never cared of enabling "modem" support natively into the Android OS, as T-mobile clearly forbid thetering on their phone (they want users to buy datacards packages instead). You may expect future f/w updates (e.g., android 2.0) to add support for this for VF. We will see.
Cheers!!

T-Mobile US HD2 does not have Wifi Router????

Hello all, I have been in the Blackberry world for a few years so I am a little out of touch on WM. I have spent about an hour with the HD2 and I am sold. One thing I noticed is the lack of Wifi Router. I know the European version has it and I would like to know if it is something easily ported to the US version? Thanks for any input and if this is a stupid question I am sorry, just haven't been on the WM scene for a while.
P.S. I know I could use WMWifirouter but I would like to try the HTC app (also help that its free).
I suppose it depends if there is a Sim free version made by HTC.
The version we have in europe is a different model.
If there is a sim free version made, there is nothing to stop you from flashing that ROM to a T-Mobile branded device (in theory).
That should give you all the functions HTC put in.
the o2 uk version doesnt have it either. I shoudnt worry, its readily available.

make sure laptop is seeing it as an ad hoc connection, not infrastructure.
Is that a joke? What adhoc? It wouldn't work for me either (LEO). I can not see it from my laptop, no DHCP or static IP with the router SSID forced either.
Nevermind restart fixed all problems and that's really ad hoc!
Hey I have what's called a htc wifi router. Do a search for that. I'm pretty sure I have picked up the .cab from this site. This program works great tho.
im useing the router to send this! thank you much!

EasyTether

I was using EasyTether on my dual boot android Tilt phone before getting the Aria. I managed to find an apk but it's for an older version.
I thought I would see if someone can get a later version? as of post time the latest is 0.9.10.
I was able to use the Installing 3rd Party Apps post to load the version I found. So, it will work and doesn't require root access!
Edit: Removed attachment since there is a better way! Thanks guys!

If you have Wifi shut down your phone, take out your SIM, turn it back on and connect to the market via Wifi. Easytether will come back along with other AT&T restricted programs. This is what i did in order to get it back on my phone and it works great. Also one of the reasons why im baking it into my personal rom so i always have it.

Please forgive the NOOB, me......but,
I have the Aria on it's way and desperately need to be able to tether. I'm marginally savvy but know nothing about rooting....is it required to tether?
Or can I simply follow the instructions above on an unmodified Aria out of the box, install easytether and have it work?
Works
Confirm, this really works.

Just so I'm clear, (cuz I'm frequently not)
When you write "it" works, the "it" in this case is an unmodified Aria, with Easy Tether installed via the no sim/wifi download method described above - correct?
With no other fancy mods, I should be able to tether to my laptop - yes?
(fingers crossed)......

Actually my Aria is in fact rooted running attN1's ROM. Sorry!
Can we maybe get someone with a stock out of the box Aria to give this a try and report back for our friend here!?

Thanks for quick clarification - and no problem. If, in fact, this works, I believe it will be the first (easy) successful tether mod - if I'm not mistaken - and a fairly big development. I've been searching feverishly for an easy solution since placing my order yesterday (confident that it would eventually be cracked). If we don't get a confirmation on whether this works on a vanilla Aria by the time mine arrives, I will gladly give it a try and report back asap.
This place is an amazing resource.

You can get a good nights sleep tonight. I have verified that taking your SIM out and connecting to the Android Market using Wifi will allow you to download EasyTether and install it on a stock Aria. I too had a big need to tether, but I was keeping my Samsung Jack in my computer bag for that very reason.
Now that I have EasyTether loaded on my Aria it works perfectly. I will probably end up buying the full version for $10.00 because I will need https support once the trial runs out.

Tom

Thanks, yea, not a problem - I prefer USB. When I would BT tether with my Pure, it would run @ 2mps, USB brought it up to 10.
I to can confirm it works as well. Stock at&t rom, Vista 64. I also went to cnet's bandwith meter and pulled 395kbps... meh I'll take it.
Now I have my laptop which runs Fedora 11 connected via Easy Tether.
I used the ubuntu drivers from EasyTether's website and converted them to an .rpm using alien to install it on Fedora.
Thanks for posting the how-to's they led me in the right direction.
Look like this is the way to install any software in the marketplace that AT&T does not approve.

HTC Hero to Jailbreak PS3???

I was doing some reading about N900 used to jailbreak PS3. Is it possible for someone to use the released exploit code, and use the Hero (Android OS) to do the same thing? Instead of trying to build the dongle from parts.
Hope I'm making myself clear!
~Google( N900 used to jailbreak PS3 )~
~Google( psgroove )~ <-- exploit
And how do I get link restrictions removed from my account.
Thanks
what are you going on about?
There is a new exploit out for PS3 where it puts the system in debug mode to do all kinds of fancy things. And the only way a while back to enter this mode was to buy a USB dongle that was programmed to unlock this exploit.
But now the code has been release to the public for anyone that wishes to try and build the dongle .... but someone has successfully unlocked the PS3 by using a Nokia N900 instead. So I was wondering if any of those smart developers out there thought about trying that with the Android OS on the HTC hero or any Android OS phone really.

you cant port psjailbreak to 3.42 it uses and exploit to launch it into debug mode, with that update sont removed all dev and debug modes in retail units. the hole has been opened and now they can explore all software aspects of it all. the only thing i can recommend is to use the proxy trick to get around and connect to psn without updating

Here I'll do one better, Logan5 PS3 Proxy Tool can be used to work around the update. You can also use the 67.202.81.137 IP again as your primary and secondary DNS server to bypass the update.
Not sure how long it will last used to do it back in the days of 3.21 but for whatever reason sony is letting use use em again
