Hi gblaque,
the sos message is telling you that only emergency service is available.
This happens if you get out of signal range or if the simcard is missing / damaged or not properly connected.
Check the condition of the simcard, maybe there's a bit of corrosion on the copper tracks...

Happy New Year everyone

Ok basically i just wanted to ask anyone if they still had copies of all the software that was released by dj_denims. I tried getting it from his forum but it seems that the rars are corrupt or something. I have tried to get in touch with him and am waiting on his response, but just in case i figured i would message everyone on this board and see if they have the files. Anyway if you do have the files please email and attach them to me at mokuman@hotmail.com. Thanks in advance.

Unfortunately, as has been pointed out by others earlier in this thread, dj_denims despite all his claims hasn't realeased any useful software at all.

The only semi-useful ones are the manuals, but those are actually for the Philips ct968 phone and available from philips. Just google for 'philips ct9688'

The other thing was a rar file full of java games, but you can get those from anywhere.

Either way thanks for the response.

Has anyone gotten this to work with gmail?

Posted by: sleepyboy

many thanks

I allready disassembled some files of my 968, and get some export functions of the lib. I need to test it to make sure it.

One more thing, if you want to hack this phone, it helps if you don't try to get information not so much about the dv007, but oin the Cellon c8000 platform itself.

There appears to be a way to get into the console (and with linux, once you're there , anything is possible... ) for a chinese Phone called the Amoi E600.

Unfortunately, all the info about that hack is in chinese which I can only accesss via automated translation...
But what I've gathered is that they do this by modifying the package for the qnes emulator (qnes.prg) somehow.

Maybe someone who speaks chinese can shed some light on how this works.

Well, just like your read, All of our break is the qnes which the philips supportted! We found that the qnes is a tar packet, and a part of the packet is the elf file. We try to instead of it by the sh file. Surprisingly we can execute it.
So we use it to get all of the files, and link it to the console. we knew that cellon was based on the QT2.3.0 and QTE2.1.7, with gcc3.2.1. And We try to make up the cross-compiler, but failed on the soft-float. These days some one get the cross-compiler of the gcc3.2.1 from net, and it works well. Now we are interested in the SDK of the C8K, we also get some .h from the disassemble.
That's all. If you need help about the chinese, contact me!

I got one of these from a friend who says it fell and stopped working. The phone itself is functional, but the display doesn't show. On opening it, I discovered that part of the circuit board for the LCD screen was broken off. Does anyone know where I can get replacement parts for this model? Thanks.

I am having problems with signal strenght since I live in a rural area. Does anybody have any solutions. I am a bit weary of the software posted by DJ Denim since of the corrupt files issue.

Thanks

You can post the instructions here, I'm sure there's several people here that would be interested...

Posted by: moku160

If any news has arisen please post... Especially about a signal booster

Posted by: McTezz

Yes, we have some real tangible news at last..
resib7606 has hacked the UT Magic app (DV007.dll), it now has limited access to the phone's operating system. Thanks to resib (a real star, unlike someone else I could mention) it's possible to add/modify menu items in the Entertainment menu. The os has BusyBox console already installed, all it needs is a menu item to activate/run it. From there you have full access to the rest of the os...
So far, I successfully installed a file browser "explorer" originally for the Amoi E600 handset.
Qnes is installed but not running, it complains about missing shared libraries. Anyway it's a good start. Many more things to learn

As for the signal booster, I don't think that's possible, sorry...

Can you explain what problems you're having?
I think it's a good idea to share our experiences and knowledge with this in the hope that other people will join in and start porting stuff to our DV007

I've started to document part's of the filesystem:

/mnt/cellon/cec/apps/ . . . (r/o) here you'll find directories for each menu.
./1Communication . . . . . .(r/o)
./2Multimedia . . . . . . . (r/o)
./3MobileOffice . . . . . . (r/o)
./4Entertainment . . . . . .(r/w) linked -> /mnt/user/cec/apps/4Entertainment/
./5Other . . . . . . . . . .(r/o)
./6Mymenu . . . . . . . . . (r/o)

note, 6Mymenu item doesn't show up on the desktop. Most likely not set up correctly or bug?

Also the 4Entertainment menu is actually a link (shortcut) -> /mnt/user/cec/apps/4Entertainment/

/mnt/doc/cec_local/ . . . . (r/w) instal 3rd party apps and support files.
./bin . . . . . . . . . . . (r/w) binary executales go here.
./data
./i18n
./lib
./Log
./plugins

/mnt/doc/user_local/ . . . .(r/w) /root of the phone's user space.

Hey, Just came upon this thread while googling... That’s the first 2 hours of my working day gone :P Arh well good thing I have office to myself today.
I love my DV007 which I bought last year, but I feel a bit ripped off in a way. I am a massive born again Linux user (although still only a beginner) I used to hate Linux with a passion until I learned more about it, and I bought this phone as I heard it had a Linux OS... I wanted to do some fiddling!

I have been looking around for any other OS's I could put on instead of the native one, but as of yet, have found nothing. Does anyone know of any Ubuntu based OS's that can be put onto the DV007?

Also, I am a beginner in coding/modding/hacking, so some of the stuff I have read on here goes WAY over my head :P anyone have any walkthroughs with simple explanations on how to make modifications and access the console? A Linux platform just doesn’t feel the same without the ol' console stand by...

Thanks in advance

Posted by: McTezz

Hi RedPandaFox,

I know what you mean about feeling ripped-off by not having access to the OS [linux], that was before 'resib7606' came up with that crack. As soon as I get some spare time, I'll write up a walkthrough to get the console.

I found a port of 'Final burn Alpha' and tested some Neo-Geo and Capcom roms and they worked quite well. If anyone's interested I'll post the app..

That would be great. I bought this phone to have some fun with, but at the moment, mine is all I do on it

Having access to the console with make it feel a bit more inviting, and open up for more customization.

Hi,
i want some info about this emulator.
Thanks

Posted by: McTezz

Hi Resib,
Final Burn Alpha (fba) is simular to MAME.
FB Alpha is an arcade emulator supporting the following hardware platforms;

- Capcom CPS-1
- Capcom CPS-2
- Cave
- Neo Geo
- Toaplan
- Taito Rainbow Islands/Operation Wolf/Rastan
- Psikyo 68EC020 based hardware

The version I have requires the roms to be saved as a memory dump (there's a utility for that). The good thing about this is there's no need to setup virtual memory. Over the weekend I'll post it, can't do it from work

Meanwhile, this is what it looks like running on the DV007 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hx1WUV7Ed3g

Posted by: McTezz

Requirements -
UTStarcom DV007.
UT Magic Windows application.
Hacked 'DV007.dll' for UT Magic.
Console desktop file.
>

Download dv007.zip, which contains resib's hacked DV007.dll

Replace the original 'DV007.dll' with the hacked 'DV007.dll'.
So, unzip & copy DV007.dll to the UT Magic directory.
By default it should be in C:\Program Files\UTStar\UT magic\
* You may want to rename the original DV007.dll to something like "DV007.dll.bak", just in case
you want to keep it..

From the DV007.zip you'll find the "console.desktop" file. This will be installed to the phone.
Plug in the phone (make sure it's not in the USB mass storage mode), and activate PC sync.
Now start UT Magic...

1. Select "File" (from the left, 2nd last icon near the bottom of the screen) see pic...

2. Navigate to the downloaded "console.desktop" file, and click on it so it's highlighted.
3. Now click the "Export" icon and select "File" from the menu.

After it's read the contents of the phone, the Export dialog will appear.

Now navigate to ../../cello/cec/apps/4Entertainment

Click the Export button...

When finished, unplug the phone, then shutdown & restart the phone.
Now when you to the Entertainment menu you will see the BusyBox console.

Hi maciejus,
I'm not entirely certain but it seems all the languages are self contained in a single file. Look in here : /mnt/cellon/cec/data/dic: there you will find "ddata0.dic". Unfortunately this file (1,795,840bytes) is not in plain text so I can't read it.
I've found "ddata0.dic" for the Philips 968 and it's about twice the size, maybe I'll install it and see if there are additional languages there. If so, then I doubt you can remove them without the proper software to read this particular format.

Hi McTezz,
Many thanks for this info.
Have you managed to install this "ddata0.dic" file from Philips 968?
Can you please post a link to this file?

Posted by: McTezz

Not yet, thanks for reminding me. The file in question was found here http://bbs.imobile.com.cn/ in the Philips 968 section. I don't recall the exact thread, some guy posted the entire OS, 30+megs in over 30 spanned rar files. For convenience I'll post ddata0.dic here.

BTW, did you know you can 'tty' remotely log into dv007 with hyperterm?

On dv007 console, type;
/sbin/getty -L ttyUSB0 115200 vt100 &

Setup for HyperTerm;
connect using com20 port.
115200 Bits per sec.
8 Data bits.
No Parity
1 Stop bit

Hi, McTezz

Which username and password you use for login in DV007?

Thanks.

Posted by: McTezz

Hi resib,
username is root and no password is required. In fact you wont be prompted for one unless a password has been set.
Ok, try this;

copy the passwd file from /etc/ to /mnt/user/etc/
[cp /etc/passwd /mnt/user/etc/]
now type this;

mount -o bind /mnt/user/etc/passwd /etc/passwd
/sbin/getty -L ttyUSB0 115200 vt100 &

If you have a password set in the original passwd then download my dv007_term.zip which has a clean passwd, script & .desktop with icons.

Posted by: resib7606

Thanks ,
this work fine!

now i install opie GUI on sd card,
but touchscreen and keyboard not work

Posted by: McTezz

You're welcome resib.

Now you got me interested in opie

What can you tell me about it, some links maybe?

Here's another tip for all who hate that annoying shutter sound you get when taking pictures.

mount -o remount / # remounts fs as rw
mv /mnt/cellon/cec/sys_sound/takepic.wav /mnt/cellon/cec/sys_sound/takepic.wav.bak

by renaming or alternatively deleting the takepic.wav will silence the camera. Btw, you could also simply replace the sample with something else instead.

Terrible news people, last night, my DV007 dropped from my pocket and the casing that held the top in place next to the camra snaped, leaving me with two parts to a DV007 held together by wire

Im now left using a Nokia 2760 -whimpers- But I dont want my DV007 to have been broken in vain, as it is stll working, Im thinking Id like to leave it open to experimentation, Id like to try to use it as a laptop or such, put a new OS on it if I can or something, it dosnt matter if it gets bricked. Id like something like Ubuntu on it if posible and can get T-flash cards to install it on if need be.
So anyone got a suggstion for what I can do? (Also I will only take suggestons from trustworthy people... unlike some who have used this forum in the past)
I use Ubuntu as my primary OS but have several diffrent Linux disros installed on my PC and laptops and exernals and XP on duel boot of my PC, I can use any of these if neccacary for the modification process

So if someone has an idea but was worried it may brick the phone, mabey try it on mine.
Cant wait to here some suggestions

Posted by: McTezz

What a bummer, at least it still works...

I read somewhere that the PXA270 platform will runWindows CE 5.0/6.0 and Linux 2.4x - 2.6.15 if that's any help.

Posted by: RedPandaFox

Bit of a bump, but I got my DV007 fixed!

Is there nothing a full tub of super glue wont fix? :P

Trying to get used to the keys again, just wondering, is there a way to get an on screen keypad for it? Kinda like the iPhone but with the styles instead for texts?

Posted by: ydfang

My DV007 software is crash.

I can't start the cell phone, and when I push the power button, it seems that it doesn't start. I believe the BIOS or OS has crashed.

Can anybody send me the DV 007 Cell Software?

Also, Can anybody show me how to write to the cell phone?

Thanks

Hi, I had the same problem and it looks like there is some bug with charging the battery when fully discharged.
Just try to remove battery, then plug the power adapter and then insert the battery - it should start charging and you should be able to switch the phone on.

Posted by: ydfang

WOULD YOU PLEASE TELL ME HOW TO HACK THE DV007?
OR CAN YOU SEND YOUR DOCUMENT?

MY DV007 HAVE FIXED. IT IS THE BATTERY PROBLEM.

SO I WANT TO PLAY IT WITH THE LINUX IN THAT MACHINE.
ANYBODY HAVE DOCUMENT?

Hey RedPandaFox nice going with sticking your phone back together again. Yeah you gotta luv that super glue

I haven't come across a on-screen keypad yet. But I found a nifty iPhone theme, it's actually for the Philips 968 but it should be easy to tweak it for the DV007. If anyone wants to have a go I'll post it...

Arh, am I glad to see you on here McTezz! I was worried you had become inactive during the time I havnt been here!

Im more than happy to try it! Im getting bored with it as it is and I want to try anything you can throw at me.

I have a mate who mentioned a Dboard or something? An alternative chipset to work into it? He has done some work with other UTStarcoms and said its possible to get more customizabilty with it. You heared of anything like that?

Also when you get acces to the terminal on the DV007, what shell is it using?

Busybox known as the Swiss Army Knife of Embedded Linux.
Imho, it's a pain to use from the phone's interface so I highly recommend logging in remotely from your PC using your fav term software. Hyperterm works great. For more info and the script read my posts on the previous page (posts 227 & 229)

I've got a couple apps you might be interested in;
1. Fire Burn Alpha, multiple machine emulator (similar to mame), there's some info I already posted somewhere on this thread

2. Explorer, this is a file manager that has some very useful features like full screen picture viewer. Plays audio files. Reads and edits text files. Can associate filetypes to open external apps as well as the usual copy move delete etc and it can access the entire filesystem. This program is an absolute gem. I'll post 'em soon...

Posted by: RedPandaFox

FREEDOM!

Bahaha! Oh how good it feels to be working with a shell again! GUI's are so restrictive in many respects.

You never posted any instructions on Fire Burn Alpha. Or how to install the iPhone theme. You have no idea how happy that simple console access has made me.

Your help is so appreciated, atleast by me, but im sure alot of other people also.

The sooner you can help with this, the sooner you will make my phone the best ever!

Also about the DBoard, its short for "Debug Board" Its an add on kind of thing for the Neo Freerunner. Im sure you have heard of it? My mate said its possible to use the DBoard with UTStarcom phones but he hasn't played with the DV007 before.

Posted by: RedPandaFox

Also can you explain how to access the terminal remotely? I havnt done this before

Posted by: RedPandaFox

Ok, don't know if McTezz is still posting here?

I cant figure out how to remotely access the console, so Im going to try a few things.

1) I want to try and configure an external keyboard to the phone, only problem being I need to find out where the config files are
2) Find if it has a text editor on it, if not, get something like Vi or emacs
3) Work out what the dang root password is because I apparently don't have permissions to access "/"
4) Also flicking through "ls" command in console, I found some interesting commands, "update" I find interesting, It brings me to the Java program(or it seems like the java one) And it trys to connect to the internet, I need to find out how to network it propoly.

For a few of the commands its telling me I dont have permisions, its strange.

But I must say... I keep geting the undeniable urge to enter

Code:

rm -rf

*edit* Ok, well I entered

Code:

vi

as a command and sure enough, it opens vi editor

Thats atleast something? Now I just want to view some of the internal file structure.

Althow, how can we use vi without use of shift or ctrl keys?

You're right, I haven't posted any instructions on FBA but I will once I sort out a few things.

The iPhone theme I posted was intended for the Philips 968 and I haven't modified it. As I mentioned earlier, the DV007 doesn't appear to support themes so the only way to install it is to overwrite the original icons etc. That's why there's no instructions, sorry..

Glad you're happy with the console, kewl...

Thanks for your appreciation. appreciate that.

Yes..
Setup for DV007
copy the passwd file from /etc/ to /mnt/user/etc/

Code:

cp /etc/passwd /mnt/user/etc/

now type this;

Code:

mount -o bind /mnt/user/etc/passwd /etc/passwd
/sbin/getty -L ttyUSB0 115200 vt100 &

Setup for HyperTerm;
connect using com20 port.

Download my dv007_term which contains desktop and icons etc. and saves you having to type cmds everytime you want to run a remote console.

Been a bit busy of late but Yep, I'm still posting..

Read post above

1. Never thought of interfacing an external keyboard. I think running a dumb terminal would save you a lot of hassles.
2. vi works but I hate vi

3. woot, no access to root. Weird. Wait, you mean no write access or read access? You should be able to read / but to write you need permission. Your password should be blank, i.e no passwords set. If not, there's a workaround.
Firstly you need a clean passwd file. If you downloaded my dv007_term from my previous post (above) you'll find a clean passwd file there.
Now copy this passwd file to /mnt/user/etc/
and type

Code:

mount -o bind /mnt/user/etc/passwd /etc/passwd

4. haven't checked out the 'update' cmd. Let us know what(if anything) that does, assuming you let it connect to the net.

Quote:

But I must say... I keep geting the undeniable urge to enter

Code:

rm -rf

LOL, rm -rf will only delete the user data, not the os. but if you really want to do this

Code:

mount -o remount /

now it will work

but don't blame me if your phone fails to work afterwards

Quote:

Good question, you can't access shift or ctrl because those keys are missing from the phone. Duh
but through hyperterm you should have access with the PC keyboard.

Still finding a few problems.

1) Remote login asks for "c8k login:" Needs a login but in /etc/shadow it tells me there is no password. Iv tried root and no password etc, iv tried adding a new user which wont work, and iv tried making a root password but wont work
2) I cant change files in UT magic for the new icons or .gif's I don't think it has permissions set for it, Iv tried chmod-ing the directory, making it 777 and whatnot, but to no avail.

(refering to "/mnt/cellon/cec/image/animation/")

Also, is there a way to view the completely file system, I'm compleatly lost with this layout. Iv even tried forcing chmod on "/" but it wont, telling me its a read-only filesystem. If I can get a complete backup copy of the OS that would be ausome, then I can see where everything is.

Don't use UT magic. Now that you got the console the UT magic app is obsolete. Here's an example, say you want to overwrite the login animation.
Copy the gifs to your phone from windows using the mass storage method. Lets say you put "pme4-welcome.gif" in the root(that's user root not main root) okay, now go to the console/terminal and type

Code:

mount -o remount /

this gives you write access, no need to chmod-ing anything.
Now type,

Code:

cp /mnt/sd/pme4-welcome.gif /mnt/cellon/cec/image/animation/

remember this overwrites the existing file so you might wanna back em up first.

Also, is there a way to view the completely file system, I'm compleatly lost with this layout. Iv even tried forcing chmod on "/" but it wont, telling me its a read-only filesystem. If I can get a complete backup copy of the OS that would be ausome, then I can see where everything is.

try

Code:

ls -la

Once I upload "explorer" for the DV007, you will be able to browse the entire filesystem without the console.

does any one know or have links to the password for the files previously mentioned

Posted by: McTezz

Which files?, the ones dj_denims posted?

Oh, the previously mentioned files I posted don't require a password. Just follow the link, you have to go through 2 pages on that site to get to the files.
Got to find a better file hosting site, one that lets you directly link files...

Actually they do need a password to login remotely, I forget what it was, I think I used user "root" pass "root" or "guest" "guest" as they are the generic Linux logins, Try the root one first. I haven't tried it in a few weeks as I don't have the software on this Vista boot, Also has anyone put the software on Vista or Linux successfully?

Reply to RedPandaFox
I thought apaul10 was asking for passwords of the posted files as apposed to the password to login remotely. Yes you log on as root but there's no password for that account. At least not on mine..

I don't run Vista on principle, hate it

Hey I wrote my first "hello world" program which I cross compiled for the ARM platform. Now if only I could find the appropriate QT lib source headers etc. I'd be happy...

Hi folks,
I thought I'd share Explorer Filemanager which I found some time ago on http://bbs.imobile.com.cn in the Philips 968 section.

This Filemanager lets you access the entire filesystem unlike the one that comes with the DV007

It has some cool features like full screen picture viewer. Plays audio files, can read and edit text files, and even lets you associate filetypes to open external apps.

To access the popup menu, hit the answer key (the green button)

and hitting the 0 key gives you another menu

To install, you have to copy the files from the zip to the appropriate directories. Read the readme.txt contained in the zip for details.

Have fun...

Awsome!

Great work! Ill give it a try when my DV stops playing up, its just turning itself on and off randomly, I want to throw it into the river right now!

I cant wait to try it!

Posted by: McTezz

Hi guys,
it seems I've bricked my phone

Explanation:
Lastnight I tried to install a program called "controlcenter" for Philips 968. It was modified to (supposedly) work on the DV007. Well it doesn't!!!

Due to inattention on my part, I didn't realise that the install script replaced the "run_dv2.sh" in /mnt/user/etc/
The new run_dv2.sh now contains;
/sbin/getty -L ttyUSB0 115200 vt100 -t 8 &
/mnt/doc/cec_local/bin/controlcenter --init &

This is preventing the phone from booting, it just hangs on the splash screen (the 1st screen before the animation).

Problem is, I can't access the phone with the "UT Magic" app, remote login or the USB storage device. Nothing is detected when plugging the phone in the USB. Therefore I can't fix the offending script.

Can anyone think of another way to fix this problem?

Posted by: RedPandaFox

Oh man that sucks!

I cant think of any way to fix that that dosnt involve a full keyboard.

If there was some kind of keyboard or remotely access it at boot then you could somehow drop it back to the command line and fix it that way, but without getting it to that I have no idea.

Ill experiment with any way to get a keyboard access and then get a copy of the file in question I can try, also if you want another DV007 I might get another one when I move to the UK, its case or shell or whatever you want to call it is damaged but it all works, if you have another old phone to exchange it with as long as its fun to play with like the DV007 :P

I love the stupid pointless features on the DV007.

Anything you want me to try that could help get works working I will try.

There has to be something to do. But the only things I can think of are on the command line.

Posted by: McTezz

Yeah I was thinking that a command line is necessary. Things I've tried:

Switching it on & waiting --- fails to boot. (lights up keyboard & screen, shows logo)
Switching it off --- fails to switch off (have to remove battery)
Connect phone to PC with USB --- PC fails to detect it (tried UT Magic & hyperterm)
Pressing buttons while turning in on --- fails to make any difference
Attempted to access the test mode and do a reset to factory default settings but the phone needs to be booted to get to that mode.

I seem to be running out of options...

Here's the entire modified /mnt/user/etc/run_dv2.sh which is spawned from /etc/inittab

Code:

#!/bin/sh
# NamKyu
#/bin/bmp_viewer -b /etc/C8000_on_wait.bmp

/bin/dmesg -n 1

#echo 312002 >/proc/sys/cpu/0/speed

. /etc/profile

#fsck -py /dev/tffsa1
#mount -o noatime -t ext2 /dev/tffsa1 /mnt/doc

#if [ "$CUR_MODE" = "SoftWare" ]; then
#	swapon /mnt/doc/c8k.swp
#fi

export LOCPATH=/usr/lib/locale

sleep 1 #make sure that watchdog can receive the signal
killall -10 watchdog

/sbin/insmod /lib/modules/usbdmonitor.o

cd $CECDIR/bin 
#./ipmd > /dev/null 2>&1 &
#./charger_boot /boot/bootimg
./batmonitor &
/sbin/getty -L ttyUSB0 115200 vt100 -t 8 &
/mnt/doc/cec_local/bin/controlcenter --init &
./checkpwd
for initfile in /mnt/doc/user_local/Doc_center/Notepad/init.d/* /mnt/sd/init.d/*
do
if [ ! -f "$initfile" ]; then
continue; fi
sh "$initfile" &
done

#./multi >/dev/null 2>&1 &
./multi &
./tapi -v9 &
./esd -as 0 > /dev/null 2>&1 &
#./gifanim $CECDIR/image/animation/PME4-Welcome.gif &
# run bt server 20060906
./BMS_Server -b 921600 -c /dev/ttyS1 </dev/null &
./winmgr -v8 -l7 -- -qws -display Transformed -keyboard 2>&1 &

Only the bold parts are different from the standard run_dv2.sh file.

Interestingly, the first non standard line /sbin/getty -L ttyUSB0 115200 vt100 -t 8 & should setup terminal i/o on usb, but for some reason the usb is totally inactive making remote login impossible. Maybe the following command /mnt/doc/cec_local/bin/controlcenter --init & is locking up/crashing the phone.
Either that or the script terminates at that point and maybe the usb port hasn't been initialized yet...

What a shame I don't have anything to exchange. Got a Motorola C201 (coke phone) but it's primitive and no fun to play with

But thanks for the offer

Yeah I love the stupid pointless features on the DV007 too. I didn't realize it until now, now that I can't play with it anymore.

Anyway thanks for offering to help, but I'm beginning to think that this thing is going to stay bricked...

the password i was asking about are the ones for the files hosted on rapidshare for the phone, the new application and upgrades

Im not sure, I didnt have a problem finding it, keep looking arround the page on the download site, just look arround for the right link

McTezz,

Does it charge from USB, or is it not using usb at all?

Nothing happens when the phone is on.
When the phone is off, connecting the usb switches the phone on, but it still stops booting at the same point as before.

Obviously the phone detects when the PC is connected, but the PC doesn't.

It's a shame they didn't provide some sort of restore or safe boot mode like on some phones.
I believe you can access the firmware mode on a motorola a1200 by holding down a key while powering up.
Something like that would be handy...

Posted by: RedPandaFox

Im going to try to hook up a keyboard to the DV, if you think about it to troube shoot it if people made it, they would have to make something to fix it.

Posted by: McTezz

Cool. A keyboard on the DV would be good, not sure how you'll manage that but I hope you're successful.
Please keep me updated on any progress..

I quite agree, there should be some way to fix it.
In the worst case scenario. I'd be prepared to re-flashed it if necessary, though I doubt I'd have to go that far.

I've been recently searching the web and found another special code (on this page http://bbs.imobile.com.cn/thread-tid-3859401.html):

Enter * 7638 # and then press the dial key to enter the engineering mode

BTW Anyone has any additional news regarding modding the phone?

Posted by: RedPandaFox

Ohwow! Someone still uses this phone!

I would love to know any new info, my phone still works... possibly... maybe... if I can find out why it wont work...

The screen wont turn on anymore, i think the connection to the screen is broken, the reason the screen didnt work... because I had to beat it to turn on...

Any suggestions? I may even buy another of this phone if I can find it

Posted by: McTezz

Hey-hey! I still got mine.. Sadly it still doesn't boot.
I've come to the conclusion that a clean firmware to flash DV007's nvram is required to bring it back to life.

So if anyone has the firmware + a flash util please let me know.
Thanks...

Yo RedPandaFox, I reckon between us we have enough parts to make 1 Working phone. So if you don't want that non-volatile ram in your DV007 let me know.

Hi McTezz, I have an image of the rootfs taken from my DV007 some time ago (using "dd if=/dev/tffsa of=/mnt/sd/rootfs.image" command).
I can send it to you, just priv me email address.

Unfortunately I have no idea how to flash the phone which is not working, maybe there is some way to put the flash part out of the phone and put it back after flashing ??

I guess that a lot of answers could be found on Chinese forums however I can't read Chinese (and Google Translate is not perfect).

I was wondering about installation of Android or any other linux based phone system on DV007 however there is still the obstacle with flashing the phone or entering the bootloader at least.

I'll try to create a VM with the image from DV007 and have some play with it - maybe I'll come to some useful conclusions...

Posted by: McTezz

Cool. That's brilliant. Thanks. I'll PM U.

I've seen Android on the Motorola A1200, it needed a bootloader and the rest ran off SD. There was no flashing involved. You could still boot back to the original OS or select Android from a boot menu.
The A1200 has similar hardware specs to our dv007, so I reckon it's possible to port it. Btw, Android on the A1200 was quite buggy and had missing features at the time so you couldn't do too much with it.

The Image in a VM sounds good. You could try running it in qemu. It supports the ARM processor, not sure how it will go but it should at least give you access to the filesystem.

If someone can find some old DV007's (new) for sale somewhere, id be more than happy to but one... or two... or three...

Hi loonbg,
if you change the extension of speed booster_ Dj DeNiMz.prg to ".exe" you'll get a surprise. It's actually a win32 application called "Angry IP scanner"...
