Do you want to help out developers? Got a broken device?
The Captivate Development Platform mod AKA UnBrickable Mod
[HOW-TO]UnBrick the UnBrickable Captivate
There is a way to modify our hardware so that most any brick can be fixed.
It involves desoldering a resistor and soldering a jumper wire.
At this time the location of the xOM5 resistor in the P1000 board is unknown.
AdamOutler can adapt this mod to our devices, but he needs to actually HAVE a board. He has to desolder the CPU and trace the lines to find the location.

I am looking for a Galaxy Tab board for disassembly and identification of the xOM pins. If you'd like to donate the board I'd be happy to come up with the plans for UnBrickable Mod.

So,
Does anyone have a dead P1000 that could not be repaired or something or that you are willing to donate?
Thanks!
And if any mod think this should not be on the dev section I apologize.

Hi,
If this could be interesting to people who is wondering how to disassemble ARTEMIS and what is inside the device.

Thanks for the link. Appreciate it.
Thank you, very informative...
i would like to add more information to it with components identification and more details about disassembling and assembling. but for this i need to remove binding around the chips, which is not something i am ready to do at the moment.
on a reality it is very quick to disassemble this device. takes about 10 min. to take it apart. construction looks better thought-out compared to Prophet for example.
no wifi
I opened mda Compact III arte110 and there is no wifi antenna.

You right.
And chip is also missing on the board.
The bad thing is that some people when they were buying this device did not know about the fact that Wi-Fi functionality is missing, and sellers were not much informed, as well. Bad trick..
regards,
anyone care to give me some tip on how to get the catches on page 8,9,10 to let go of the case?
I really can't seem to get it loose.
In the PDF this step is described as hard, but there is no indication how the author did it.
I have ordered myself some tools for caseopening.. so I'm hoping the whole prosess is easier then.
If anyone have opened this case, perhaps can sheld some light on how they did this step.
okey. seems a bent tweezer works ok.
horizontal in, behind the hooks, then pull

u have checked that the chip is also missing, and seen it with ur own eyes or are you just stating other information...cuz if only the antenna is missing, one could think of a solution...
I needed to replace my screen recently and found the Artemis-inside pdf to be only useful up to a point. Wrote my own guide in case people might find it useful:

Hey everyone,
Im looking for a good tutorial or guide to jtag a htc dream. i beleive i saw a page with a video once but i dont recall where it is on xda anymore.
If someone can provide me with a guide or video as to how to jtag your htc dream that would be great!
omgkush
anyone tell me if this is a good jtaging guide?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eITMEEF_AIc
There is a JTAG guide:
wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php/JTAG_DREAM_AND_MAGIC
I haven't tried to JTAG anything before but I am looking to do so for my G1.
I am in the UK and built a G1 serial cable (it works perfectly) after buying the parts from CoolComponents and SKPang also in the UK. I followed the Android-G1-Serial-Cable instructable.
I haven't opened my G1 yet and from what I've read I'm not sure I have the soldering skills to solder wires to the JTAG points on the G1 motherboard so I was thinking of buying whats in the video you linked.
I am unsure what to buy for the ARM JTAG debugger or what else I'll need. The JTAG guide mentions a LM317 to generate the 2.6v reference voltage and has a picture showing a circuit but I don't know much at all about such things so I haven't a clue how to go about building it.
A more detailed step-by-step JTAG building guide would be very helpful so hopefully someone is in the process of creating one.
Is there any chance to make USB Host for wildfire?
I guess not, as USB-Hosts have a different hardware than simple ports.
I heard somewhere that msm 7227 chip supports that feature. But wildfire has msm 7225 and haven't heard that it supports.
And hardware support along with required kernel is needed I think.
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using XDA App
AIR a guy made a circuit and gave the USB-Host to unsupported devices. I may remember wrong.
USB Host again
Hi all,
searching through the forum I found this thread and I very much like to raise the debate again. I am not fully convinced that USB-Host may not work at all on Wildfire.
On the hardware-side: can you completely say that the hardware might not support it at all? Many forum threads (not only on XDA) showed ambiguous signals concerning the chipsets.
On the software-side: The official point is the following:
[I wanted to post a link but was not allowed because I do not have 8posts yet. Type in google: "android developer usb host" and it will lead you to the official page]
So from Android 3.1 and higher USB-Host is supported.
As the development for the ICS (Android 4) mods (CG9 etc.) for wildfire is advancing, I am playing with the idea of trying the beta versions to see whether USB host works.
It would be really helpful to hear the ideas of advanced people on this issue. Can you exclude the hardware-capability? Are the e.g. CM9 mods not made for things like USB-Host?
Currently I unrooted my Wildfire and am trying to get things started for flashing it. So yes, quite a noob.
Thanks a lot and kind regards,
Nebi
Ok, I tried the newest version of CM9 'AOSP Based "Original Development" / Source Built ROMs' by arco68.
Unfortunately my wildfire is not reacting when I put in a usb-stick connected to an adapter USB-A (female) to USB-B (male) adapter.
Am I doing sth wrong? Do I need an USB-hub to power 5volt?
Thanks and kind regards,
Nebi
Ok sorry for writing again. My last post today - promise.
On the hardware-side I found out following:
As I still cannot post any links here:
qualcomm.com/chipsets/snapdragon
You can also click on that site on the link below with more detailed specs.
USB OTG is only supported from Snapdragon Generation 3 on. Wildfire (MSM7225) is Generation 1.
I was also egg-headed and still tried another software, too:
I tried the AOSP Based Derivative MIUI V4 Beta1 bystelios97.
He doesnt reckognize anything.
A last thing: I think that in any case the adapter that I am using is wrong. Instead of using a USB-A to USB-Micro adapter you better need a USB-OTG cable to connect both devices.
Game over I guess?
first off if this is in the wrong section then please forgive me
I would like to know if (1) anyone has made a honeycomb port for the epic and (2) If not would it be too hard to make a port if there isn't already one?
HC is optimized for tablets, and Epic isn't one, so no port.

It's possible, but really hard and not worth the time. Most people would rather see CM7 and MIUI working. It is available for the G1 and maybe Nexus One.
Im sorry but "hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha" We don't have a running CM7 (fully).. no GB source, proprietary device drivers, a hacked together RIL, a camera identical to other GS phones yet seems to be different (for no good reason) than the others for interaction in AOSP styles roms. The ugly red headed step child of the Galaxy S series with some awesome dev's and cooks that put up with enough crap from our regular users.. (me included) So please... forget the HC and bring find us some GB source
Oh yeah and somehow we have physical keyboard lag... introduced it seems to me to prevent double taps and makes typing quickly a PITA!

The HD2 has it along with the G1 and Nexus..... non of the above are tablets.... I asked this question a while ago OP but unfortunately like the post by xboxfanj says it would take alot of work and time because Google still hasn't release source for honeycomb because they didn't want people to port it to low end tablets.... plus only a small amount of people including me would like to see honeycomb on our phone.... hopefully we can get some cm8(ics?)......
Hi ya'll,
I've just added USB host mode support for the Galaxy Tabs. ( Can some mod move this post to the Android developer forum and bless me for posting in that forum? I'm happy to answer questions/discuss but I can't post there yet because I just created this account)
[Ugh! because I have less than eight posts I can't include github links - you'll need to linkify yourself... ]
The github site is here:
github.../humcycles/galaxy-tab-modified
Documentation on the changes:
github.../humcycles/galaxy-tab-modified/blob/master/Kernel/Documentation/usb/s3c-otg-host.txt
The changelist you probably want if you are want to cherry-pick into another kernel tree:
github.../humcycles/galaxy-tab-modified/commit/99388abf98f8b8583dcfb31339c8673a9fea62bd
These changes fix a number of bugs in the Samsung host mode software but are probably not well suited for regular end users. I would recommend that developers who are generating Galaxy Tab kernels consider picking up these changes.

Wait it so long
Sent from my GT-P1000 using XDA App
Does P1000 have the right hw, can it provide 5 volts to usb client or we also need a power injector (usb hub)?
It really works? That would be superb news! Thank you very much for investing your time in it. Can`t wait to see it in a kernel on my tab.

Yes. It works for me on a Sprint SPH-P100, but I bet it will work on all 7" tabs (the USB hw seems the same). I look forward to some other dev trying it out and letting me know how it works for them. From looking at the samsung sample code, I bet it will work on most samsung chipset based devices (certainly the S5PC100 based ones).

I bet it will also need power for the 5V USB. In the samsung code they have bits that look like it is turning on the right LDO to have power, but nothing comes out on my SPH-P100. Either the sw init needs more work, or they didn't stuff some part when they built up the units.

I've tested it on a few Sprint 7" SGT's here, but it would be great for another dev to try it in their kernel.
It is a great thing, you deserve so many thanks!...
Now what I need is a kernel with usb host and swap enabled.
Can somebody explain why it is needed? What is it good for?

It allows the Tab to act as the controller for USB devices, rather than the other way around. In practice, it means that you can use things like usb sticks, keyboards, mice and the like which usually require a computer (the host) with the Tab.
Anyone more knowledgeable, feel free to correct me.

Hmm - I just want to be able to discuss this in the right forum. I hope I don't get banned, but I don't really care to much - I made these fixes because I needed host mode for my application. I'm almost there - just need one more post
