Not bricked. Just go to bootloader mode and run official rom upgrade. If that doesn't work, flash WM5 from HTC Prophet.

Flashing WM6 - have I got this right?

Just got my Trinity today, and have successfully unlocked it using pof's unlocker. I unlocked the SIM lock and the CID lock, so it's now SuperCID.
I want to put WM6 on it, the LVSW version. I've downloaded the three files in the sticky post. Before I do it, I want to check that I'm understanding it right, because I'm a bit confused with version numbers.
So...
1) First, I need to HardSPL by running the "ROMUpdateUtility.exe" file from the Hard-SPL.zip file, yeah? I ran this (but didn't flash it) and was confused because the new "Image Version" was 1.20 whereas the Image Version shown in the "current image" bit was 1.24.xxx. Usually, going backwards is bad but I may be misunderstanding.
2) I then need to flash the Radio ROM to 1.41 - why do I need to do this? I guess I run the "ROMUpdateUtility.exe" from the GSM_xxx_xx file, right?
3) Finally, I need to flash WM6 - by running the "ROMUpdateUtility.exe" file from the WM6 zip.
Is that right?
Just tried to flash both the HardSPL and the Radio ROM, and the ROM Update Utility always craps out after I select "Yes" to the security prompt on the Trinity.
"ERROR 246 DEVICE NOT RESPONDING" is displayed in the update utility. Any ideas?
Also, if I go to the bootloader manually (holding down the buttons) the version numbers are:
TRIN100
IPL-0.50
TRIN100
SPL-1.07.0000
But when I let the ROM Update program enter the bootloader, these are shown instead:
TRIN100
IPL-SSPL by Des
TRIN100
SPL-1.07.ds
What does it all mean? Very confusing! It won't let it update anyway, when I select "Yes" to the security prompt, the screen goes black, the ROM updater throws up the error 246 and then the Trinity shows the bootloader.

SPL by Des is a one time only SPL called SSPL-TRIN.exe, it's somewhere on this board. Sometimes it's baked into a ROM too ... it fakes the SPL.
HARD SPL stays on your phone .... doesn't need SPL by Des anymore.
Windows needs some time to switch from Windows CE to the bootlader driver. This can cause an error ...... just start the exe file again on the PC.
Another common flash error is with Vista, then you need to overwrite the default driver when you're in the bootloader. The driver is in "VistaRUU.zip"
Relaunch the Hard-SPL, then the radio ROM and after that LVSW or mUn's ROM.
There is a file you extract called EnterBootLoader.exe
I copy this to the Memory card.
Then before I run the update I run this on the memory card.
The phone goes to the boot loader and then once windows has re-detected it I run the update.
This seems to have eliminated all problems I've ever had flash updating.

I just tried this, but Windows doesn't seem to want to detect the presence of the device when I do. ActiveSync reports that nothing's connected.
Well I've got the Hard-SPL and Radio ROM to flash - instead of leaving ActiveSync connected I just went into the bootloader manually and did it that way.
But now I'm trying to flash WM6 and it gets up to 8% and then craps out with Error 286 - communication errors.
The device now won't boot past the bootloader
What do I do now?
Bloody hell. It's amazing, it really is.
I had it plugged into my USB hub.
Took it out and plugged it directly into the PC, just on the off-chance that the hub was screwed up.
It's all working fine now, I think!
Typical. Thanks for the assistance anyway guys.
Nps. Glad you got it sorted
Is the USB Hub powered? If not that will cause a ton of problems!
It's supposed to be powered, but I'm starting to think that the power supply might be faulty!
hi guys,
2 questions if i can;
1)What is HardSPL?
2) Why are there 3 steps to getting WM6? why can I not use the "ROMUpdateUtility.exe" file from the WM6 zip straight away?
Thanks a lot!!
Same Problem as GazChap
Hey All,
I was having the exact same problem as GazChap with the same configuration to start out with.
This is what I did:
1)plug in my p3600 to the USB
2)let synchronize, and hopefully finish, otherwise stop it
3)run HARD-SPL; this usually freezes after the first go and stalls in the bootloader
4)run HARD-SPL again; this time it will finish. You will have to turn on your machine again after this.
5)run AX3L ROM 2.0.8.2; this ALSO usually freezes after the first go and stalls in the bootloader
6)run the ROM again; This time its gonna work...
Now it works..
brick time
I loaded the hard spl succesfully. I could not get the radio upgrade to load no matter what I did. My instructions said it was optional, so I went directly to the WM6 rom exe load and it has a perpetual communications error after about 8% even though the WM6 loader says each time that recovery is successful. I have a tricolor screen (bootloader?) on my 3600 which won't respond to anything I have thought of yet. Anything I can do other than pitch it? Help! And thanks in advance.
ok, just want to make it short: (P3600 user)
1. I have WM6.1 ROM (FleNover 3.3 Black edition) installed.
2. When I want to downgrade to WM6 official, after 20% it goes error.
3. Now, it only shows 3 colors.
4. Here is my PDA information in 3 colors:
TRIN100
IPL-1.00
TRIN100 MFG
SPL-1.30.Olipro
5. When I want to upgrade with WM6 official, after my PDA shows the progress bar, it restarted and the update screen shows Error 286.
6. How do I fix it?
thank you very much

I confronted same situation as you before. When i tried to flash my 3600i(HK traditional Chinese version) using "RUU_Trinity_DOPODASIA_WWE_3.00.707.17_6275_1.46.00.11_108_Ship.exe" found in forum, my 3600i finished with same error as yours "Invalid Vendor ID" and stayed on 3-color bootloader screen after rebooting. however, It restored to the original rom after I tried to flash my 3600i with upgrading software "D810_GPS_HK_TradChinese.exe" which got from download link appeared on software update in my Htc e-club. flashing "D810_GPS_HK_TradChinese.exe" failed with something like "wrong model" then my 3600i rebooted automatically and restored to the orginal state. I hope my case could do a little help to you.

[Q] HTC Touch Diamond 2, not flashing

Dear Honorable Seniors, I am so obsessed to get some troubles with my htc (Touch Diamond 2).
I want to get rid off from my ROM that is already available on it (I dont how to find it is official or cooked and which is that version or name). I try to download many cooked ROMs to flash but tried two:
1-energy
2-mozart
but everytime flashing process stopped at 0% percent and after 6-7mint it display a window for recovery. I do restart my system and got the prior windows version, no flashing at all.
I thought there may be Hard-SPL issue (although I dont know what is it). I download its compatible version and try to flash Hard-SPL it also stuck at 0% and not moving upwards.
Help will be appreciated in their respect.
Sorry if my english not comprehendable I am not english speaking person.
regards,

1. Install HSPL. Follow instructions in the thread.
2. Install custom ROM.
You cannot install a ROM until you have installed HSPL first.
I think Muqaddas has already tried HSPL as he described in the post, but the progress stuck @ 0%.
Muqaddas, may be you can try below:
- Disable antivirus software, temporarily, on your PC
- Do HSPL (1.83 and update to 2.51)
- Use Advance ROM Update Utility to do a Task 29.
- Upgrade to latest Radio ROM, if not latest.
- Flash the ROM you wanted.
Hope this will help you .
Thanks.

WIN7 could be your issue, it is best to use XP. Also it is important to install the enablenewrapi.cab
You can check your SPL level by entering bootloader mode (holding Volume Down as device reboots until you get to the tri-colored screen)to verify that your SPL: version has "Olinex" as a suffix.
How to flash?
RUU.exe method;
1. Download enablenewrapi.cab, copy to your device with ActiveSync (WMDC) and execute the cab.
2. Download Topaz_CustomRUU_v1.1.zip and both the 1.83 and 2.51 HSPL files.
3. Place the CustomRUU.exe and the RUU_Signed.nbh file from the 1.83 version into the same folder on your PC.
4. With your device sync'd, run the CustomRUU.exe and follow the prompts on your PC.
5. If successful, the progress bar will go to 100% and you can enter bootloader mode (holding Volume Down as device reboots until you get to the tri-colored screen)to verify that your SPL: version has "Olinex" as a sufffix.
If so, you've successfully flashed HSPL.
Repeat steps 3-5 for 2.51
If unsuccessful....
SD Card Method;
1. Rename the RUU_Signed.nbh to TOPAIMG.nbh and place on the root of your FAT32 formatted SD card.
2. Enter bootloader mode and it should initiate the flash. You may get an error of "No Image Found" or you get progress bar stuck at 0%. This would be a failed flash, just soft reset and you'll be back to stock.
If still unsuccessful....
Try the HardSPL_V5_00R5_183HSPL.zip
my respectable serniors please help me out, I tried to change the PC which has Windows XP, and followed all the procedures you all honored but still stock on 0%.....
dear I try to flash PHOTON ROM through storage card by renaming it and placing it into the root of SD card but not being flashed................
please help
HI Muqaddas,
The issue seems to be somewhere in HSPL and the device is not ready for any custom ROM yet. I dont think PC OS has anything to do here unless the "Antivirus S/W is disabled".
Once you device is CID unlocked you should able to install any ROM .
But as you are telling you can see "1.83.OliNex" in the Bootloader... so Can you try to update that to 2.51 and see if that work?
Also try searching the "error code---262" in the HSPL thread, whihc may give you some idea...
EDIT:
ERROR [262] : UPDATE ERROR
This error occurs during the CE ROM code upgrade process.
Solution: If this happens, you can just soft-reset the device and run RUU again. The update process will then continue.
Note: At this stage, the Wince is destroyed; instead, it is in upgrade mode.
As you said you can see the OliNex in bootloader your device is CID unlocked.
Can you try below and see if that work:
1) Upgrade your HSPL to 2.51.
2) Start Windows Mobile Device Center
3) Start your device in TriColor boot loader mode.
3) Connect you USB to PC and and make sure your device bootloader white screen say "USB"
4) Now start flashing from PC using RUU.
See if this work else try "SD Card Method" suggested by Bruce.
Hope this will help...
Thanks.
On Ur phone go to Settings-> Connections -> USB to PC & "uncheck" the option Enable faster data synchronization & then try ...worked for me
I am sorry to be desperate but after following all the precedures suggested in this place I am not successful...
I was hopefull that I might flash my TOPAZ after getting 512mb card and after many struggles I arranged it for flashing .....
but after bootloader it stuched at
loading.....
please help if someone can
Try restoring your bootloader to the stock, flash a Windows stock ROM, then come back with HSPL and custom ROM.
Hey, May be you can go to service center near to you and ask them to install new ROM so that they will install new ROM and may be try to unlock the phone if it is with them...
Once they install new ROM then I think you can continue HSPL here and have fun .
Thanks.
Dear Hamsn, Where I can get Windows stock ROM, Please any link or description......
You can get that from HTC website of your region.
Goto: http://www.htc.com/uk/selectcountry.aspx
Select your country -> Click Support -> Select your device and download the latest ROM update.
Of you can grab from here: http://shipped-roms.com/index.php?category=windows mobile&model=Topaz
(File: RUU_Topaz_S2_HTC_WWE_2.53.405.5_Radio_Signed_Topaz_61.44etc.25.35_4.49.25.91_Ship.exe)
Just sync your device in PC and run the above file and all should get updated .
Cheers!!!
