Rhodium HardSPL - News and Updates

---

First I'd like to mention that I am grateful for all the developers on XDA working on these phones. I'm no programmer but I know plenty who are in all fields so I can appreciate what you are all doing.

I just wanted to create this thread to see how close we are to getting our hands on the HardSPL for Rhodium and any updates on development.

I've had my Touch Pro 2 for about a week and half now and already bored with it. The phone itself is great, but Windows Mobile 6.1 seriously sucks.

I really want to start using Windows Mobile 6.5, which brings me to why I created this post.

If anyone can shed some light on this I'd appreciate it.

Olipro and cmonex are still searching for mobile devices with hynix memory to test some stuff.

In short, don't expect anything soon and have patience

what

how do we know if it has that memory so others can help look.

just asked permission to Olipro if it was ok if I wrote a tutorial regarding this...

Uhm...I'll open a new thread with step-by-step instructions on how to help them out

Hope it will help them. Gimme about an hour to write a detailed tutorial.

*EDIT* Tutorial is up: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...99#post4035499

hmm this thread will be good for the usual "hardspl waititing posts".. when release comes, we (olinex) will just create the real hspl thread, so mods will not have to clean up for release (like for topaz they had to). :P


as to why this flash type checking is so important: on topaz the hynix ones really just got lucky by not getting their mfg partition corrupt. (no one got it corrupt but as i said that was luck) i want to avoid any such problems on rhodium.

Does this mean there is a feasible solution for Samsung based units ?
I am surprised that it makes a difference based on the fact HTC wont have made a separate spl for hynix based units. and rom upgrades will contain the same info...

can hard spl for samsungs be realeased with a link to the tutorial on how to ensure you have samsung?
darides tutorial suggests most people seem to have samsung anyway.
infact has ther been a hynix unit seen in the wild?
Cheers

Perhaps Olinex can make a version for samsung that checks on the sspl that the memory is samsung or not. to avoid bricks or other problems.
I have not seen or know anyone with hynix memory on their tp2 after checking about 5 different units from my friends and family they are all samsung. My vodafone one is samsung too.

it's great news for me

is it a problem if everybody have the samsung chipset ?

just letting you know no updates yet - was busy in real life
