There is a GPL's linux software HERMflasher for flashing hermes/trinity (working), and similar code for magician (untested).
I guess that the hermes code may be adapted for the universal with some
minor effort.

well i do know how to program but i do not have the detailed knowledge of flashing especially of universal, so i don't think i'll be able to mod it..
Again i don't want to brick the only phone i have [].. by testing this util..hehe
Thanx a lot anyway....

If the uni is not locked. Otherwise it may be easier to flash from the SD.

Sorry, the current htc-tools version is magician-specific.
But we are working on flashing the linux ROM, so it'll work eventually

Old threat, but the first which came up doing a google search, therefore see

Linux Directory

What are the files in the linux directory. Is it linux for the M5000 and if so is it any good?

If you mean in the xda ftp site it is a linux port to the HTC Universal.
It should work on all branded HTC Universal. It's not finished yet, but it boots and and GUI works. The phone doesnt work yet.
You can read the whole story here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=35972
And the progress here: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=UniversalProgress
And a screenshoot here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/files/opie_uni.png
It's quite fun to run Linux on the Universal. But, it's a benefit if you are a little in to Linux before you start.
Good luck
thanks for the reply and for being so helpful with it. my phones got weird anyway so may as well have a l;ook at it.
thanks again

Already on kaiser, maybe can be ported:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=396782
Keep in mind this is the official OS which was released today.
Its been noted that its not that easy.
1) the CPU in the Hermes is a older ARM that doesn't support all the needed instructions.
2) We couldnt "port it", it would need to be recompiled for the Hermes's older ARM, and that would be HARD.
3) We would then need Storage/wifi/touchscreen/ect ect drivers, and someone would need to write them, theres not going to be a device with the same chipset as the Hermes to steal the drivers off, like there is for the Kaiser.
So, unless you know a lot about writing drivers/recomplieing linux, tisnt going to happen

if somebody did manage to get it working in kaiser, it can be done for hermes ?
don't we already have working linux ports for hermes? can't the drivers be pulled from there ?

PSFreedom Android via Diamond?

Just wondering if anyone was working on getting this ported to our phones? Works on the Desire and few others via this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=772795
They also have our phone on the wiki as showing in progress.
http://psfreedom.com/wiki/index.php?title=Device_compatibility_list
It's listed even two times! They have to make up their minds about the used usb controller though *fg*.
I wonder who is actually working on it? I have watched the thread all day.. I see its listed, but no proof of anyone actually working on it. I guess it just listed because of the usb controller it uses is compatible..
Anyone know what may be different between our diamonds and the HD2? They have it running on the HD2 now

Trying now. If this works, I can finally return my TI 84 calc.
After following the guide and getting android installed i get the following error trying to insert the module "insmod: can't insert 'psfreedom.ko': invalid module format".
im using the newest xdandroid i could find here on a diamond100
actually dmesg returns "psfreedom: version magic '2.6.27.46-01162-g741ab49-dirty preempt mod_unload ARMv6 ' should be '2.6.27.46-01130-g0ac6681 preempt mod_unload ARMv6'"
nevermind... apparently i missed an important step
OK
I tested on my Diamond.
It's ok for me.
Now I'm tested the fixed version with backupmanager.
I'll update soon.
NB
The first boot is very slooooooow.
I have install and run Psfreedom on my old Diamond GSM.
I dont have PS3 right now.
But it looks like working cos.... when I type "insmod psfreedom.ko" and press enter I have next line "#" no any errors and messages.
And at that moment my PC recognize "Unknow USB device". So I think that something is emulating on my Diamond.
One more thing!
When I copy file "modules-2.6.27.46-01162-g741ab49-dirty.tar" to SD
I have renamed it to "modules-2.6.27.46-01162-g741ab49.tar" and replace existed old one.
I have XDAndroid 2.2 (rel 1.6) no any updates.

RadioComm v11.11.11

Here we have it,
RadioComm support tool, used for Motorola Handsets.
I found the link somewhere on the net
This is the latest edition i have found so far,
Good Luck

Like the availability, Bump the 'Thanks' button. ;]
Guide on how to actually use Radiocomm 11.11.11?
I've only seen screen shots for it but it has a lot of options and looks like a really complex program. All I need it for is to simply flash SPRecovery.spf on my phone when I root it. So could anyone link me to a Radiocomm flashing guide or at least tell me what I need and what to do and if I need to do it before or after rooting? Thanks and I've rooted a lot but never changed recoveries, all the one click root apps give me recoveries that I hate such as RA-eris V1.6.2 because they are a pain. I'm manually rooting my Eris [I've already done manual rooting before] and just choose my own recovery and SPRecovery has gotten a lot more kudos than RA-eris v1.6.2 [Amona Ra?] and ClockworkMod. If anyoen also knows of any other recovieres they like better than please let me know, but for now just a good how to guide for flashing with Radiocomm. Thanks a lot in advance guys! =]
Hi There,
I apologize for not having any links off hand, (though i may be able to update int he future).
I know i have ran across a few guides for radiocomm on the internet... Try using Google.com, and keep an eye out for .pdf files..
I am sure you can tinker around in the menu's also... It is a very robust program...
And, just curious... Did you mean to say .SBF file? instead of .spf?
Good Luck
Here You Go,
I found an older manual for Radiocomm... Idk where i found it, or how helpful it may be... but it's a step in understanding...
Good Luck
yep this tool is interresting...
Here is version 11.12.2
Thanks for posting these files but I can't get them to work. They will not find any of my phones. I have the motorola drivers installed and my puter finds the phone but the radiocomm program won't connect, it stays red. I am running windows 7 with motorola 5.5 drivers, net framework 4 is installed. I tried it in compatability mode, the phones are set to pc mode. my phones are a droid 2 global, and two are a bionic. Can someone please help me out?? Thanks!
For all to know.
The low level tools are written for use with WinXP or lower.
Use with a newer Windows in XP-Mode at your own risk.
That's why to keep an old XP machine (or Win2K) on hand.
Good info everyone!!
Here is a backup link to the version epsylon updated us with.. :]

Well technically the most important thing with these kind of programs is the bits. Most of them are written for 32bit OS.
I'm using win8 32bit and all of my tools work fine. Just used Radiocomm today and yesterday to read some info from some older motorolas.
Granted not *everything* will work. I had to use Blackberry Desktop Manager 6.0 or newer to get it work right.
5.0.1 or older would BSOD on me when I tried to do too much with the RIM Virtual Serial Port.
How to use this program to enable the FM radio on my Motorola phone? Someone claims to have done this using this program but he's not responding to requests for more information. I've installed the program but don't want to brick my phone. In the past I've messed with other programs like QPST and QXDM to enable additional bands so I'm not an entire newbie. Thank you.

Windows 10 build 15035 for Surface RT

It would be super cool if this community managed to create a working image for the OG RTs (de-bombed & with correct drivers). Anybody here who could share the leaked image with us?

Unfortunately no, I don't have access to BetaArchive's FTP. But I would be shocked if nobody on this forum had... Fingers crossed it gets reuploaded soon.

Another thing we need to find out, does it require configuration to boot? Or is it just a bootable install image?
Well I manage to get the file. Its not iso its a zip. But I have honestly not Idea what to do with it, and I try in all inventive ways, LOL!. I could make a torrent file if any its interested on. With the compromise on do a tutorial later if some one manage to do anything with it.

In the end, I won't know how exactly to fix the timebomb unless I can see the file itself. Replacing the drivers are just as easy as copy paste into the wim file.

PM you in a moment!
I've been trying to get this running on Surface 2, the way I've been trying with this is a dual boot with RT 8.1 and I've partitioned my device to allow roughly 12GB for the Windows 10 installation.
Unfortunately there is an issue with nvpep causing a BSOD that is beyond my abilities to solve, without nvpep nothing else will work. I don't have a Surface RT to test with but I read that this issue does not manifest on those devices, however it still won't work out of the box.
I've pieced together some information that might be of help if your trying to install that applies to RT and 2.
Make sure secureboot debug policy is applied and don't forget to enable testsigning and nointegritychecks. If you have Jailbreak killing updates installed its probably faster to factory reset your device.
You will need to replace sdbus.sys and ststor.sys in \Windows\system32\drivers\ with versions from RT 8.1.
You will need to edit the registry on build 15035 to disable UAC - HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System - EnableLUA set value to 0.
Before booting 15035 you will need to create new directory on EFIESP in \EFI\Microsoft\Recovery and then create an empty BCD Store in that location.
If you don't add the Surface 2 drivers it will actually boot to the desktop but no devices will work (Pretty much every device requires nvpep up and running first), you can play around with it using a USB keyboard and mouse but its a little pointless at the moment.
Would it be possible to share the build with wider community, so more people can have a shot at getting it up and running? I know I would love to play around with it.

Please make no mistake on the significance of said leak. There is no other known more-recent ARM 32bit Windows 10 build available on the Internet. The driver hacking community could appreciate a more open leak very much (just look at what it did to the Lumia 950/XL hacking scene around gus33000).. Sites like uup dot rg-adguard dot net fail to list this build.
