ROM date:9/22/05
Radio Version:01.08.10
Protocol Version:4.0.13.18
Ext ROM Version:1.1.7.105
Would like to know which is the best ROM version and procedures to update the ROM And is it possible to install a different manufactures ROM such t-mobile,qtec etc to this 02 Device !!
Pls Guide me through !
Thanks.
Xdawiz,
...cute name for a newbie! The people here expect you to do your research (and I don't blame them!!) ....that means combing through posts as others before you did. This does take time and energy. For procedures to upgrade a ROM I suggest you do a search as there are quite a few posts that tell you how to do it (hint: including one of mine).
The best ROM version??? No one will be able to tell you that becasue it depends on what you are looking for and what you use your phone for and how many problems are you willing to deal with. Do you want the latest and greatest?? Summiters Cingualr AKU 2.3 is awesome! 8) Some of the older ones though have had more testing time and therefore have been refined more. Try going through the AKU2.3 thread and seeing what some of the issues are and if they are ones you can work with. Many of them already have fixes that are quick and easy. Also...maybe look at the "Mr. Clean" AKU 2.3 thread and see whats going on with that one as it does not have any carrier custimizations.
...the only question I can not answer is using a Cingular ROM for an O2 device. Never payed much attention to it since I am a Cingular customer - but the issue is addressed in the thread - read carefully I think you'll find good news!!!
If you want to upgrade your phone and you want to do it right you have to read the threads and the directions!!! There is no easy process. Look at people's IDs and their signatures to see if they are also O2 users.
GOOD LUCK!!!

Hi all,
sorry for the newbie question but I'm thinking about upgrading my Trinity to WM06 and wondered if anoyone could answer some basic questions as I'm a bit confusted (... not that techie I'm afraid)
1. As my device is a SIM free, non network attached HTC P3600, do I need to do any of this "Hard-SPL" upgrading before selecting a ROM
2. is there a simple step - by - step flashing guide for newbies like me anywhere
3. Do the ROMs provided here enable SDHC for the device. I want to use higher capacity mini SD cards - this is a really important requirement
4. I love the inbuilt GPS and Tom Tom solution - are there any issues with GPS/Tom tom support in the upgrades
Many thanks in advance

Hey there, coe62!
I'm not a techie myself, but have just recently flashed my Trinity for the first time to WM6, so most of your questions were mine also. Here:
1. yes. From what I understood, also protects your device from a bad flash helping you recovering it (as far as I know, there are three of them: OliPro's HardSPL 1.30, OliPro's HardSPL 1.20 and Des' Crash Proof SPL)
2. http://www.trinityguides.info (thanks to racerx_)
3. some of the do, some of them don't, check here for details: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1635483&postcount=5
4. using iGo, so I can't tell!
Best of luck!
iGo

Hey there!
YES, iGo works very well on both WM5 and WM6. I had it with the stock WM5 and now using it with a cooked WM6, it works great on both operating systems.
Noroc!
hi there
Am as a newbie as well, lately i've been tried flashing pretty man ROMS over Trinity Windows Mobile Section 6, and find out some ROMs are really good, smoothness, fast and damn good performance, or you can try Mary(latest ROMs). Personally, after trying cooked ROMs, i found Only _AX3L_WM6_WWE_v3.1.2c FULL & LITE (25-10-07)
This ROM is simply an edited version of the Official DOPOD's ROM (lastest released version!) for the Trinity work on my DopdD810, what i mean is with this ROM i can get connected with Internet, but rest of other ROMS don't, i've no idea Why, i am from Hong Kong, somebody has idea due to connection to the internet??
Ok, due to my bad understanding which SDHC would be most suited for my device? As i read about
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1635483&postcount=5
for ROMs flashing i follow the instructions, so far without serious errors happened, i'd to thank all of you, no matter newbies, seniors, moderators...
hi!
that's great, thanks. hopefuly i'll have time in week-end to play around and flash it!
numai bine!
Well i use this thread to post some of my questions...
i get my p3600 tomorrow and i'm very excited, so i want to flash the WM6 from bepe.
1. is there any way to backup the factory-flashed rom?
2. do i lose the warranty if i flash the device? is there a workaround?
3. I've read a few threads but i cant get an idea whats this hard spl for?
4. is it possible to reset the p3600 to factory default so may i can get warranty if somethings fails?
thanks for the replies..
Hi guys,
I want to upgrade my phone to one the WM6 roms available in here.
I just wanted to ask will the sms / email / mms settings stay once the new ROM has been flashed.
If not where can i find them to write them down.
Thanks in advance.
no, they will be erased...
take a look at the trinity upgrade guide on trinityguides.info which will take you step by step through flashing your ROM (backup, hard spl, flash ROM, restore, etc)
Erase the ROM before installing?
I heard it's better to erase the ROM before installing a new one.
A kind of a 'super' eraser to clean deply the ROM. Have you heard of any of such a program/utility?
Thanks

Hi all
Complete newbie to ROM upgrades. I have a SPV M700 coming in the next few days and will be unlocking & flashing the ROM (currently Orange & WM5 I think). As there are many different ROMs available, I'm after some advice where to start.
From what I can see, there are 2 basic types - full (includes apps, config tools, etc) and lite (OS only). I'm guessing for me, a full ROM is going to be better whilst I get the hang of things, but which one to choose ? I think Schap's ROM has everything I need (and more) but welcome your advice.
Thanks
Maxi
similar question really.
I have found http://trinityguides.info/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=25&Itemid=66 which seems quite good.
However will this result in a SIM unlocked device??
It would seem to SIM unlock I need to install a very old Radio ROM??
I think it is all quite confusing as obviously the different ROMs etc. have changed a lot over time and it is difficult to work out if the instructions I am reading are outdated.
Thanks for any help
The Trinityguides are very useful when it comes to the actual doing. My question was really which ROM(s) should I consider to upgrade to.

Hey,
It's been about 3-4 years since I last flashed my Dopod D810. I don't have the P3600i, and whenever i try to find those custom roms, they are more than likely designed for the P3600i.
Just recently, i found a few owners of the D810 (like me) and found a couple roms that support my D810.
Because I got a headache trying to make heads to tails on the threads, could anyone tell me what the instructions are on updating ROMs?
For example, I remembered installing Hard SPL, but now i noticed theres various versions (last I used v1.20). then there was some other file/program i needed in order to install other ROMS.... are there any specific instructions anyone could post here - perhaps this can teach others how to install in the future? Thanks.
Hello,
Although I had hd2(t-mobile) for a while, did not have time to play around and lived on first shipped rom! Now that I have upgraded to current version by t-mobile, I have found few issues and want to cook my own version.
Issues:
FlashLight lost its brightness in all three modes.
No google maps 4.1
Remove all t-mobile crap
Audiobooster is not effective as the previous one
These are just to name a few.
Thus far I did not install any SPL and dont know which one to and confused on all of the information. I have cooked before therefore confident in the process and just need some help with tools. Which kitchen is best?
Finally, which SPL should I install and where do I find HTC updated apps and registry tweaks?
Many thanks inadvance for all the help.
Update:
I have installed HSPL now.
Any info on the Kitchen guys?
I just want to take the first shipped rom and copy some of the applications and use them in the current OEM rom and cook.
