hTY Q5 (AKA Hantel Q5) moding

[ggeisler]

I just purchased this phone and after extensive searching was unable to find any information regarding modifying the ROM.

This Quad Band Phone has the following features;

2.8" touchscreen
TI OMAP 1030 (ARM926T)
128 Rom 64 RAM
WM6.0
GPS
WiFi
Bluetooth 2.0
GPRS Edge
2Mp Camera
Microsim slot that supports up to 4GB T flash Card



I was wondering if there were some generic modding tools / instructions to extract and modify the ROM.

I primarily want to do this because the WM6.0 OS does not seem to be complete. e.g. the HKLM/Software/OEM/PhoneSetting key is not there and when added with the key ShowTimeZonePage there is no change. (this was done manually and with the HTC Registry wizard

I would also like to trim down unneeded programs to maximize the storage space and perhaps add the TF2D to the ROM.

TF2D installed perfectly on this device however takes the majority of my RAM limiting what I can install in there.

I read somewhere that this was an HTC Diamond Clone. While I do see the simular design I doubt the hardware is the same. Even still I have to ask. would the HTC software and ROM's work with this Phone?

One last question. Would it be possible to upgrade the OS to WM 6.1 using an existing ROM Image? I doubt it but had to ask. I am sure that I will have to dump the ROM from the phone and use that image to edit.

Please let me know your thoughts. Good or bad.

I hope to be able to modify this phone and if not that is ok because it is still a good phone as is. I was just hoping to get more out of it.

[ggeisler]

I was able to dump the ROM however since part of it is SRPK encoded I was unable to do anything with it.

I Have a more detailed thread on what I was able to accomplish going here

Can someone tell me more about this device and it's InfraRed port

I want to know is this the CIR infrared port, so that u can use the device also as a remote controller for your television at about 2 meters distance?
Can someone please try this, I want to know this fact before buying one...

Can you recommend this phone for buying?

Thnx

Your best bet is to pose the question to the vendor on this one. Atleast you'll know for sure, otherwise be refunded if any information on the device that is inaccurate after purchase. Hail to eBay and PayPal protection! Seriously though, if the decision to buy this phone is based on a condition of using it for a remote control for your TV, you're best off not buying this device. Anyhow, I`m still waiting for my order of this device to arrive. I`ll test and let you know, but from the specs I read, it didn`t note a CIR infrared port. Anyone?
