I´ve heared that, if good soldering skills are there, an Ram Upgrade is possible to the Wizard...
Is this also possible for the Herald ? Did anybody ever see that ?
I would give it a try, if the Kernel or CPU was able to...
I don't think it's possible for the Wizard, either. I know it's possible for some other phones like the universal, I think, because the motherboard of the phone has a space for another memory chip that was never installed by HTC. I believe our phone's motherboard has no such thing.
I remember reading somewhere saying it is possible to upgrade both the processor and memory in the HTC Herald when we order it directly from HTC. I don't remember the source now, but I think it's somewhere in Europe. Being say that, maybe we can just replace the memory chip with the better one? I don't know if this is even possible since I never looked into the inside of the phone. I would be awesome if someone actually try to do it and report it back.
Upgrading things like that is not as simple as it is in a computer. To cut costs, the manufacturer avoids adding hardware support for anything but the hardware that they solder into the motherboard. I'm not saying that it's not possible, but it's highly improbable.
I have an extra t-mobile wing motherboard laying around, i am willing to try to do some soldering to replace the old cpu or ram with a better one if anyone can show me where i can buy them or if any other HTC phone with a higher cpu is compatible with the t-mobile wing motherboard, i have done alot of soldering before... let me know if you find anything, Thanks
Hi folks
My Touch HD digitiser has gone faulty and its only 6 months old
or at least thats what i thought because the screen was not responding to touch. i am a electronic technical person so not totally naive.
I was using the wonderful NRG roms with no problems whatsoever.
I tried to replace the stock rom and spl before sending it back to HTC, but i had no way of checking it throughly because i could not get it past the calibrate screen.
Htc now want £159.00 to replace the motherboard, and they state the reason as the unit having foreign firmware installed which damaged the motheboard.
now the Htc touch HD was working perfectly apart from the fact that the screen would not respond to touch. and i admit it would run a little warm at times but nothing excessive. It has nerver been dropped. does anyone think that a complete motherboard would need to be replaced because of "foreign firmware"?
Is Htc trying to rip off their customers?
clearly the xda developers are just enhancing an already great product with their releases of wonderful firmware
this is clearly a hardware fault and not software.
please wade in with your opinions
hi, I totally agree with your statement, but if you restored the stock boot loader and then the stock rom you could say that you tried to do and hard reset of the device and because the screen didn't work you were unable of calibrating it. I think they can't prove that you used a different rom.
hope you solve soon.
greets,
Nicola

Unfortunately HTC can legally stand by their clauses with foreign software on device as having a cooked rom on device voids warranty. I know you tried to restore back stock, but you couldn't tell and if appears they have still found your NRG rom on device.
However they are hiprocrites as this does not affect the motherboard and they are just lOoking for any excuse to void warranty which unfortunately you provided.
I believe others have been in your shoes before and posted similar threads. Try searching for these and see if they can shed any light.
but how can they get away with that?
If you buy a computer (which is what the Touch HD effectivly is), then you are entitled to use any operating system you whsh. wether it be Linux, Windows or Apple MAC. and if you develope a hardware fault then this cannot invalidate your warranty???
I dont get it? also how can they say it needs a new motherboard when it is clearly the digitser which has gone wrong?

I believe someone else asked this same question in another thread, though which one I have no idea. They asked similar question about how does HTC get away with this and I believe (if my memory bank is working) they wrote a letter to them and where able to still get it under warranty (don't hold me to this though) as they argued a new rom wouldn't affect digitizer. Possibly worth having a search for if you can find it.

That Sucks.
A friend of mine had a similar problem,
He had a broken microphone,
and HTC sent a similar letter =>
You'll probably find that the digitizer is on the motherboard. Looking at it, it doesn't look like it can be separate. (Where would it fit?)
It does run a bit hot sometimes and heat is bad as you would know.
I have just read the warranty information and it states that the warranty is limited to the hardware as originally supplied,and makes no mention of any software or operating system. and by the very nature of the product it was made for installing third party software, operting system of choice ect.
in fact it reads " this limited warranty applies only to the hardware components of the product as originally supplied and does not apply to any software or other equipment".
I will persue this and post the outcome
Unfortunately "Software" and "Firmware" are two separate things. While you can install any operating system on your computer, that software isn't a part of the hardware.
In the case of smart phones (windows mobile phones), the operating system is Firmware, and not software. The difference here is that the Firmware is PART of the hardware. Similarly the bios rom on your computer is part of the motherboard hardware. To clarify, software is interpreted and run by hardware. On the other hand, firmware operates the hardware which is why changing to an unapproved firmware also means altering the hardware.
Unfortunately they have this clause in the warranty because you CAN destroy your hardware with a malicious rom, just like you can fry your harddrive, cpu and stuff with a malicious rom on your computer bios. You can have umpteen viruses or malicious 3rd party apps on your device and nothing it does can harm the hardware because it doesn't actually change how the hardware itself works. Firmware is different in that it changes internally how a piece of hardware works and in doing so, can damage it.
I do agree though, that in this case they're looking to void the warranty, but the truth is that the money they loose on one device under warranty must be covered by the profits made by 20+ other sold units (remember, revenue can just go towards warranties).
Hey man, you play the game, sometimes you lose. I took my phone apart, fallowed the factory service manual to the letter but I knew there was a good chance they would notice the missing "void" stickers and I had to pay for the repair ( for the problem that was there before I took it apart). I took it apart and that voids the warranty, so is life...
Hi Folks,
I've Google'd already, but didn't find any evidence of any sort of a "Teardown" article on the Hero. Got lots of hits on G-1 teardowns, but nothing on the Hero. Anyone seen one?
I'm wondering if anyone has made inside of a handset yet and discovered if there is a serial console or JTAG port accessible on these?
All I've seen are ones that say Hero and lead to G1 or fake Hero ones. =/
I'll keep you posted if I find anything. I want to take my Hero apart so I can get the dust out of my screen and then seal it better so dust won't be an issue.
How to take apart Htc Hero (European version "G3")
my screen broke and when I called the authorised service store they said it would cost me 200 dollars to change the screen.. so I took matters into my own hands and decided to open it and document it for all to see

Make sure you take the SD card out before you pry the casing off. It will break it

Hi all,
Thank you for reading this.
I am fond of windows mobile, and i am really pleased with the os so far.
but, it's a bit slow. in want to ask you the following: Is the following thing possible?
I want to replace the hardware inside the HTC X7500 (logic board, CPU, RAM etc.) for the hardware inside the HTC HD2.
I expect that, because both of the devices got there own kitchen, the windows mobile flash won't be a problem. It would be just a matter of installing drivers.
But will the hardware fit? The x7500 screen, keyboard, joystick, and cameras to the logic board?
thank you very much for thinking about this question.
There will be people tell me, why dont you...
i thougth of this plan because i wanted an windows mobile device like the x7500 only fast.
thanks for helping.

So ... you want to make a transformer ?
Make them two .. please .
No, seriously. Do you really want to combine two devices into one?
logic board, CPU, RAM etc. these things are expensive... not less than a whole phone.
