01:23.26 | Mike11 | hi everybody :) |
01:25.25 | Mike11 | I have a Nokia n900 which was not able to read its IMEI, and displays "All telephony functions disabled . . ." error on every boot |
01:25.50 | Mike11 | and when I reflash the device I used to get CMT flashing failed |
01:26.21 | Hurrian | Mike11: your baseband has probably fallen off the board, you can use a small spring from a ball pen to push it down |
01:26.33 | Mike11 | while searching for a solution , I saw something about putting springs on some ICs |
01:27.13 | Mike11 | yes Hurrian , but I used some papers instead if springs because I didn't expect it to work |
01:27.31 | Mike11 | surprisingly my phone is now able to read its IMEI |
01:28.53 | Mike11 | first of all, should I now remove the paper and put springs, or do you think it does not matter? |
01:29.34 | Mike11 | the problem now is that every boot it says "Unable to establish network connection. Contact service" |
01:29.47 | Hurrian | try springs, but remember it'll always be a stopgap solution |
01:30.04 | Mike11 | and I can't dial any number of course |
01:30.58 | Mike11 | when I go to settings -> phone , it freezes for a while and then displays "Cellular network not available" |
01:31.11 | Mike11 | I thought the software needs a reflash |
01:31.49 | Mike11 | so I reflashed and for the first the time it was able to erase and program the CMT |
01:32.05 | Mike11 | but the problem isn't gone :( |
01:32.08 | Mike11 | any ideas? |
01:32.23 | Mike11 | I feel I 'm getting close to fix my n900 |
01:33.01 | Mike11 | too bad if it does not get fixed after I erased everything now with the flash :( |

01:36.06 | Hurrian | the problem isn't in a corrupt CMT, it's a /disconnected/ CMT |
01:36.42 | Mike11 | Hurrian, I don't think it is disconnected anymore |
01:36.56 | Mike11 | the flasher says it flashed cmt successfuly |
01:37.10 | Mike11 | so it was able to communicate with the CMT |
01:37.16 | Hurrian | if you're getting communication errors, that means your shim has loosened up, and needs to be tightened again |
01:37.39 | Mike11 | another thing is that I can see my IMEI when typing *#06# |
01:37.49 | chainsawbike | Mike11, if pressing the baseband chip down with paper "fixed" it (even partially) i would assume that it has been partially broken off the pcb, and the phone can never be relied on again for cellular communications... |

01:39.07 | robbiethe1st | What happened? |
01:39.11 | Mike11 | how can you tell it is broken, while it was flashed successfuly ?? |

01:39.32 | Mike11 | its memory and communications with the main board are ok |
01:39.46 | Mike11 | since the flasher programmed the CMT |
01:39.51 | Mike11 | is that right? |
01:39.59 | Mike11 | or I am messing things up? |
01:40.34 | chainsawbike | Mike11, its memory and communications with the main board partially work for now because the chip is pressed against the contacts on the pcb with the paper |
01:41.54 | Mike11 | so I broke my phone thinking I've fixed it :( |
01:42.23 | Mike11 | chainsawbike, are you sure this cannot be software only related? |
01:42.39 | Mike11 | maybe the flash version |
01:43.25 | chainsawbike | Mike11, it is a known problem probably caused by flexing of the pcb from pressing keys too hard |
01:44.33 | Mike11 | chainsawbike , any way to fix it? |
01:48.07 | chainsawbike | Mike11, not easily ( reflow? ), the paper/spring fixes should only be considered a temp fix |
01:51.38 | Mike11 | can't that be software related at all!?! |
01:52.17 | Mike11 | please anybody with any opinion about that help me , thanks for your help chainsaw :'( |
01:52.36 | chainsawbike | from what you have said i doubt it but a full reflash does not take that long so... |
01:53.20 | Mike11 | I already have did a full reflash |
01:53.40 | Mike11 | but thinking it might br firmware related |
01:53.52 | Mike11 | firmware version** |
01:55.14 | chainsawbike | Mike11, i assume you use the latest version? |

07:06.27 | Maxdamantus | I think mce receives the request to vibrate from something else. |

08:14.06 | Mike11 | hxka, here is my situation, any help is really appreciated :( |
08:14.34 | Mike11 | my nokia n900 was having the error "all telephony functions . . ." |
08:15.06 | Mike11 | and when I flash, it used to say "CMT flashing failed" |
08:15.41 | Mike11 | until yesterday, I saw that spring fix, and put some paper where I should put the springs |
08:15.44 | hxka | I've read about your problem, no need to rehearse |
08:16.10 | Mike11 | hxka sorry for re-posting I thought you weren't here |
08:16.12 | hxka | If you need to put paper, that means cmt is not connected properly anymore |
08:17.00 | hxka | That it flashes correctly now doesn't mean it will work correctly as well |
08:17.21 | Mike11 | why springs connect CMT better than paper, isn't it about pressure only? |
08:18.36 | hxka | Maybe spring applies more pressure, I don't know? have you tried it? |
08:18.58 | hxka | Maybe applying pressure is not enough in your case |
08:19.17 | Mike11 | hxka, actually no, brcause I am afraid I've broken the whole PCB, as someone here suggested |
08:20.26 | Mike11 | but I saw people having the error I'm talking about because of installing a firmware older than a firmware that was installed |
08:21.02 | Mike11 | that's why I am thinking of installing that latest unofficial firmware |
08:21.04 | hxka | "RX-51_2009SE_20.2010.36-2.003_PR_COMBINED_003_ARM" contains latest cmt |
08:21.45 | hxka | That update contains only ssl security fix, no cmt flash update |
08:21.51 | Mike11 | hxka, so you think there is no sense in trying "RX-51_2009SE_21.2011.38-1_PR_COMBINED_MR0_ARM.bin" ?? |

10:33.56 | DocScrutinizer05 | ;-) |

10:34.31 | DocScrutinizer05 | yep |
10:37.12 | DocScrutinizer05 | alas those tiny cheesy metal parts are terribly expensive to produce, regarding initial tooling expense etc. Once you got all tooling, the lid costs a cent or less |
10:39.33 | DocScrutinizer05 | again exactly like the screws |

10:42.23 | DocScrutinizer05 | most people don't understand such aspects of building a device. They only see 5g plastic when they look at e.g. Jolla TOH and say "duh, this can't cost more than 5ct! it#s just a tiny amount of plastic" |
10:43.40 | DocScrutinizer05 | or "there are 10 screws holding that part, can't cost more than 1ct to replace them" - yeah sure, IF the scres are standard size somebody builds by the billion qty |

11:30.19 | DocScrutinizer05 | yeah |

14:20.33 | DocScrutinizer05 | thinking about it, user "user" sjould only have write access on session buss, not on system bus, no? |
14:21.54 | DocScrutinizer05 | since system bus affects all system (as the name implies), it should be restricted to superusers. Otherwise one user could cause havoc for other concurrent user |
14:22.41 | DocScrutinizer05 | same rationale applies to file permissions in /dev/ and /sys/ |
14:27.55 | DocScrutinizer05 | so, depending on the particular function and the way it's implemented in mce or whatever, the function should either be systembus and exclusively for root/superuser, or mce implements arbitrating and offers e.g. a "I'm fine with shutdown" function on session buss(es) where real system shutdown only happens when all users allowed it. You can come up with arbitrary number of similar designs to rule who may do what, the principle stays the |
14:27.57 | DocScrutinizer05 | same |
14:29.51 | DocScrutinizer05 | basically this all are partial aspects of "resource arbitration" topic |
14:31.43 | DocScrutinizer05 | mce is a classicla "middleware" that's responsible of arbitrating/allocating/distributing/assigning resources of all kinds |
14:31.53 | DocScrutinizer05 | classical* even |
14:34.07 | DocScrutinizer05 | simple example: diable scree dimming. When one task is asking mce to keep screen active, then a 2nd task does same, then 1, tasks says "ok i'm done, you may dim screen now"... MCE shall know about second task still needing screen undimmed |
14:35.52 | DocScrutinizer05 | actually currently this is implemented in a even smarter way, where every task has a lease in screen backlight resource, and that lease needs renewal every few seconds. Only when all tasks stop renewing their leases, a few seconds later screen dims |

14:52.06 | DocScrutinizer05 | (system shutdown) you could argue that a user who wants to shutdown the system first should shutdown own session. Thus any such system-shutdown would most likely get implemented into the session bus itself and the tear-down of that particular session bus. When all session busses are stopped/terminated, mce knows there's no more user session running and thus can consider whether or not system should get shut down. Depending on info the |
14:52.07 | DocScrutinizer05 | sessions told mce before terminating. A session might just want to restart itself. Anyway such function would obviously best get integrated into hildon desktop since HD basically establishes the user session |
14:56.58 | DocScrutinizer05 | btw same principle also applies to sensors. Particularly those who have different operation modes and maybe even triggers. Think accelerometer. Think liblocation. |
14:58.04 | DocScrutinizer05 | modem is a very special case, since it's not clearly defined if e.g. an imbound call belongs to system, to currently active user session, or even to all user sessions. |
14:59.44 | DocScrutinizer05 | other exclusive resurces like e.g. camera are simpler, since you basically can handle them on a first-come-first-serve basis |
15:00.51 | DocScrutinizer05 | for that often a devnode or sysnode has sufficient "arbitration" simply by locking |
15:11.22 | DocScrutinizer05 | ideally all sys and dev nodes (where needed) would come in a user exclusive namespace, and the drivers would do arbitration. Thus every user session could behave like it was the only one on that machine, and when a resource is not available, then the according device node (or sysnode) would reject an open() with an appropriate -Error |

17:08.54 | freemangordon | so, what happened? |
17:09.08 | honestly | well I let it sit turned off for a few days |
17:09.27 | honestly | turned it on again today and only got to the "flashing lights forever" again |
17:10.03 | freemangordon | hmm, wasn't your NAND faulty, not emmc? |
17:10.18 | honestly | err |
17:10.22 | honestly | I might be confusing those two? |
17:10.33 | freemangordon | can't remember, sorry |
17:10.40 | honestly | lemme see if I can find the old logs |
17:10.50 | freemangordon | was it you to post dmesg logs? |
17:11.06 | honestly | yeah |
17:11.06 | freemangordon | vi__: what kind of job, EE? |
17:11.40 | freemangordon | IIRC it is your NAND that is broken, not emmc. |
17:11.56 | honestly | http://ix.io/au2 |
17:11.59 | vi__ | freemangordon: yes, EE! |
17:12.05 | vi__ | freemangordon: read your PM. |
17:12.45 | honestly | I think that says it found bad blocks on the NAND |
17:12.58 | freemangordon | vi__: hmm, no PM to read :) |
17:13.03 | vi__ | eh? |
17:13.15 | vi__ | I meant irc /query |
17:18.17 | freemangordon | honestly: try a couple of flashes, that might mark all bad blocks and fix your problems |

21:11.53 | DocScrutinizer05 | i.e. has some restrictions missing |
21:12.44 | DocScrutinizer05 | and the asian version is special, global and western localized versions don't have the simpligied chinese etc support |

21:43.01 | DocScrutinizer05 | and has 3 "/" in it |
21:44.48 | DocScrutinizer05 | "100% working" LOL! Those are two obvious blatant hw defects, and they are totally unrelated. No way they went unnoticed or happened both during shipping |
21:44.50 | CR0W | I don't want to disclose my IMEI now, but if I'll send it back, I'll post it to you, okay? |
21:45.00 | DocScrutinizer05 | okay |
21:45.41 | CR0W | Maybe the guy is stupid or something, or he thought someone won't notice. |
21:45.50 | DocScrutinizer05 | though IMEI isn't as sikrit as everybody thinks it should be |
21:46.27 | DocScrutinizer05 | but ypou could send md5sum of IMEI :-D |
21:46.39 | CR0W | I'll research how sensitive is it tomorrow. Md5sum? OK. |
21:48.01 | DocScrutinizer05 | please add the full set of characters, incl the slashes |

21:49.50 | CR0W | This is md5sum of what *#06# returned. |
21:49.58 | DocScrutinizer05 | ok, good enough |

21:53.26 | CR0W | I have a question: when the guide says to flash with emmc, then remove battery and place again and flash with fiasco, can I unplug the cable when removing the battery? |

21:55.35 | DocScrutinizer05 | yes, you can unplug cable |
21:55.45 | CR0W | Thanks. You're joerg? |
21:55.50 | DocScrutinizer05 | yep |
21:55.52 | DocScrutinizer05 | ~joerg |
21:55.52 | infobot | joerg is, like, a natural born EE, ex HW-developer and engineer of Openmoko, now mainly involved in maintenance of maemo and N900. Usually known as DocScrutinizer |
21:56.26 | M4rtinK | DocScrutinizer05: maybe add Neo900 there ? :) |
21:56.41 | DocScrutinizer05 | *shrug* |
21:56.46 | CR0W | Cool. Hey, do you know something new about AD-54 and similar? |
21:57.00 | DocScrutinizer05 | what's AD-54? |
21:57.05 | CR0W | On N900/Neo900 that is. |
21:57.19 | CR0W | DocScrutinizer05: one of those multimedia headsets. |
21:57.32 | DocScrutinizer05 | ooh, ECI yoi mean? |
21:57.35 | DocScrutinizer05 | you* |
21:57.43 | CR0W | Yeah. |
21:57.48 | DocScrutinizer05 | multibutton headsets? |
21:57.52 | CR0W | Yes. |
21:58.03 | DocScrutinizer05 | will be supported as they basically are on n900 |
21:58.15 | CR0W | They are? |
21:58.20 | DocScrutinizer05 | just for fremantle nobody wrote a driver yet |
21:58.32 | DocScrutinizer05 | in nitdroid they are supported afaik |
21:58.41 | DocScrutinizer05 | hw support is in place |
21:58.49 | CR0W | I mean, mic and call button works on any OMTP device, but the multimedia buttons. |
21:59.21 | DocScrutinizer05 | that's ECI. one wire serial protocol. Basically fast morse with headset call button |
21:59.29 | DocScrutinizer05 | but bidir |
21:59.31 | CR0W | So I could take a driver from android and write it for the kernel used in N900? |
21:59.38 | DocScrutinizer05 | yes |
22:00.02 | DocScrutinizer05 | N900 has the needed comparators |
22:00.20 | CR0W | Cool. In a few months I'll have time for playing with stuff, so I'll take this, if it won't be done yet. |
22:00.35 | DocScrutinizer05 | much appreciated |
22:00.38 | *** join/#maemo nox- (noident@freebsd/developer/nox) |
22:01.07 | CR0W | Never did any kernel stuff, but I know C99 good. |
22:01.31 | DocScrutinizer05 | that particular driver is maybe not so much kernel at all |
22:01.57 | DocScrutinizer05 | well, it probably is |
22:02.10 | DocScrutinizer05 | it needs to bitbang serial |
22:02.17 | DocScrutinizer05 | this needs terse timing |
22:02.23 | CR0W | It's something called nokia-av.c I think. |
22:02.29 | DocScrutinizer05 | yep |
22:02.52 | DocScrutinizer05 | check for ECI in there |
22:03.35 | CR0W | OK. I need to setup a dev envirioment. |
22:03.40 | DocScrutinizer05 | :-) |
22:03.43 | CR0W | What tools do we use? |
22:03.50 | DocScrutinizer05 | scratchbox |
22:04.00 | DocScrutinizer05 | all sane devels use VM now |
22:04.01 | CR0W | What's that? |
22:04.16 | DocScrutinizer05 | ~sb |
22:04.16 | infobot | well, scratchbox is a cross-compiling system that uses binfmt_misc, rpc calls, and an nfs mount to make a cross-build appear to be 100% native, and is found at http://www.scratchbox.org/, or hosted by maemo.org now, maintainer thedead1440 |
22:04.31 | CR0W | Oh, OK. |
22:04.47 | CR0W | Does it use qemu? |
22:04.53 | DocScrutinizer05 | yep, afaik |
22:05.11 | DocScrutinizer05 | there's a VM image |
22:05.19 | DocScrutinizer05 | roundabout 1GB |
22:05.31 | CR0W | So I can boot the stuff in qemu and see if things work, except for maybe devices like accelerometer? |
22:05.40 | DocScrutinizer05 | more convenient than "native" scratchbox on host |
22:05.49 | DocScrutinizer05 | yes |
22:05.56 | CR0W | Great. |
22:06.03 | DocScrutinizer05 | that qemu in qemu then, when yu use a VM ;-) |

22:17.57 | DocScrutinizer05 | yes, usually should |
22:18.35 | DocScrutinizer05 | though for "normal" charging user is free to define all he likes, from flashing fireworks to no notification at all |
22:18.45 | DocScrutinizer05 | usually only shows when screen is locked |
22:18.56 | DocScrutinizer05 | yellow flashing |
22:19.22 | DocScrutinizer05 | when you get steady yellow, something is odd |
22:19.51 | CR0W | Well, I didn't observe it flashing at any point. So another defect I think. |

22:57.03 | CR0W | DocScrutinizer05: I guess downgrade won't help with my problem, right? |
22:57.13 | DocScrutinizer05 | there's a patched kernel driver module somewhere that ignores the magnet sensor |
22:57.26 | DocScrutinizer05 | no, downgrade doesn't help |
22:57.49 | CR0W | DocScrutinizer05: I thought about that, I'll probably do that and patch also the poximity sensor. |
22:58.22 | CR0W | How does the prox. sensor work, is it an ir led and sensor? |
22:58.30 | DocScrutinizer05 | you rather should send back the device to that b***ard who sold it to you |
22:58.43 | DocScrutinizer05 | yes |

23:00.52 | DocScrutinizer05 | well, it's not exactly easy |
23:01.03 | DocScrutinizer05 | you have to disassemble from backside |
23:01.26 | DocScrutinizer05 | first disassemble bottom half and detach screen flex cable *carefully* |
23:01.32 | DocScrutinizer05 | get service manual for that |
23:02.08 | CR0W | OK. |
23:02.20 | DocScrutinizer05 | I however never heard about dirt causing proximity sensor failing |
23:02.22 | CR0W | Also, in gpio-switch/proximity, |
23:02.26 | CR0W | there's disable |

23:07.10 | DocScrutinizer05 | you can swap whole flex cable |
23:09.12 | CR0W | I could take those two sensors from an N900 sold as broken if it was really cheap. |
23:09.39 | DocScrutinizer05 | a new flex cable cost ~8bucks |

23:14.38 | DocScrutinizer05 | it's soldered to a "satellite" PCB that's tightly connected to the main PCB. Integrated flexible PCB cable. When that is broken, your camera LEDs and hall switch and camera door sensor (another of those OSRAM proximity sensors) and the uSD will never come back |
