Flashing to the P3600i

There is already a thread on this, but I'm starting a new one as I feel the old one has deviated from its purpose of finding a workaround for the P3600i
For those of you who have not been following...
The current SSPL, Hard-SPL, Super CID methods used to bypass Trinity
(P3600) SPL do not work on the new HTC P3600i.
Here's the reason why:
pof said:
The P3600i has 256MB NAND in oposite of the 128 Mb NAND of the regular P3600.
To flash this device you need bootloader 3.x or higher, and OS rom must be tagged 0x401 in the NBH (not 0x400, which is used for 128Mb NAND), also you should use a new RUU (the on the official WM6 rom should be ok).

It was recommended that Olipro be contacted about this, so I did and this is what he had to say.
[/QUOTE]
What that means is that firstly; you need one of the newer SPL versions; send me one and I'll patch it.
secondly; you need to dump your OS from the NBH and then rebuild it using 401 as the code for it (default is 400)
Obviously you could also crack the NBH open in a hex editor and just change the value, your choice entirely.[/QUOTE]
I'm don't have the technical expertise at present to do the above & am kinda pressed for time to learn so I'm hoping someone will be able to help.
Does anyone have the Newest SPL version extracted that they can post?
Can anyone suggest a hex editor to change value to 401 & explain exactly how this is done. I tried using a random hex editor and was confused by the max of hex before my eyes, I'm not sure what I'm supposed to be changing.
Thanks

i'm using htc 3600i too , waiting for success flashing and cooking rom for it.

Surely someone has extracted the SPL-3.03.0000 boot loader.
Please if anyone has it, can you post.
I saw it posted before, but neglected to DL it cause i thought I'd never need it.
I've searched through 40+ pages and have not been able to find. I probably just keep keep missing the page it's on...the search is not the greatest.
I would be forever grateful to the kind soul who would take the time to help a brother out...
After all, "there comes at time, when we all need..."

Here is SPL 3.03.0000 from this official ROM "RUU_Trinity_DOPODASIA_WWE_3.00.707.18_6275_1.46.30.11_108_Ship.exe" (which I believe is the ANZ release).
I managed to upgrade my P3600i from this version which was on the phone when I bough it "RUU_Trinity_DOPODASIA_WWE_3.00.707.17_6275_1.46.00.11_108_Ship.exe" (which I believe is the SEA release).

i'm waiting for this solution..

We need a patched version of the SPL 3.003... Olipro agreed to do so and I've sent him a PM. Still waiting to hear back.
Secondly we need to dump the ROM from the NBH and rebuild it using 401 as the code (the default is 400)
Or you could:
Crack the NBH open in a hex editor and just change the value, your choice entirely.
I'm don't have the technical expertise at present to do the above & am hoping someone will dump the rom then rebuild as mentioned above or post a tutorial on using a hex editior to change the value.

Do you get answer from Olipro? I'm sure many people's here are waiting (yes incld me

No word yet. Still waiting

waiting for solution. hope we can play with 3600i soon

Ok. So I'm confused as there are some contradictions. Is it possible for a cht 9110, purchased in Taiwan, to be flashed to an English version using the HTC official website download? Or is that why everybody is waiting for an unlock/flash method?
I can maybe live without any of the real nice rom tweaks that get developed here for at least a little while but I'm not sure how far I can get using the default Traditional Chinese as I'm not a native speaker. The cht 9110 is being offered in Taiwan at a much cheaper price than elsewhere which is one reason I don't want to have one shipped in with the factory English rom already installed. Thanks in advance for any clarification.
p.s. I should probably mention that I have not purchased one yet which is one reason why I can't answer this question myself. Thanks again!
p.p.s. The lady at ChungHwa Telecom said they were sold out all around Taiwan. They'll call me back in two weeks when they get more in from HTC.

I think it is possible to flash the offical englsh rom in the cht9110
as people said they can flash the official ROM into the P3600i
just can't use those cooked roms here

No no, I'm using CHT9110 from Taiwan with Chineas rom. and I try to flash with Official WWE rom, it will give you error of Invalid ID.
Sorry..the corrected error message is " Invalid Vendor ID"

Any news from Olipro?
keen to try out the roms in development here as well.

I have a CHT9110 and I have just failed to upgrade it with Official English ROM downloaded from Dopod's website....need to convert Traditional Chinese Version to WWE version.....

Me too. Can you please share the official WWE Rom, I can't download it. Is this the "Wrong device ID" issue ?

OK guys, I'll sort this all out for you.
Firstly I need a volunteer (capeli perhaps?) your device won't be harmed as part of my testing by the way.
I'll need someone so I can run through soft-loading the SPL and flashing it on etc.
now, unfortunately, my ISP has royally ****ed up my ADSL line, so currently I'm running via my PDA, which is costing me £1 per megabyte, which is rather unpleasant, so please do bear with me guys.
capeli: I'll get the SPL patched shortly for testing, cheers mate.

Waiting Also. I am inAusralia with a new 3600i and would like one of the cookeed ROMs I have been reading about. I will keep close to theis thread for an outcome.
Perhpas I could bother you all with some questions:
Will a new ROM affect what is on my device currently?
Will it affect my 3G settings to my service provider Telstra?
Will it affect third party apps I have instaklled; TomTom, Task Manager, TouchPal?\
Can I go BACK if needed?

Need help finding out whats been done to my Tilt.

Hi!
This week I bought a Tilt secondhand. I'm sure that some work has been done to it. First I noticed that the previous owner has using a non AT&T SIM, I'm an AT&T subscriber, so at least it's sim unlocked. Then I noticed that when I turn it on there's no AT&T animation, there's a HTC animation. I also noticed that when I turn it on or soft reset it, after the "Smart Computing" comes up, there're some numbers in the lower right corner.
R: 1.65.17.56
G: 25.83.40.02H
D: 3.28.00.00
I registered here before I decided to buy the Tilt and I read many of the treads, so I know that many kinds of ROMs and programming exists for this device. So, what I want to know is how do I know what was done, installed, changed to this Tilt?
Thanks

Maybe I'm wrong, but it sounds like whoever last owned the device flashed an HTC ROM onto it.
Dave

Easy. Go to Start>Settings>System>Device Information You should be able to read the ROM version installed.

Yeah I guessed they changed the original rom, the rom installed is 3.28.405.0 WWE, DATE 05/02/08, radio 1.65.17.56 & protocol 25.83.40.02H. Still that doesn't tell me much.

I need to know which of all the ROM I read mentioned on the forums is the one installed, I need to know if there's a better alternative & I need to read a whole lot more to understand all my options here.

you just need to flash and find out for yourself don't ask "what is the best rom" its a matter of opinion and you can get banned for asking that.

Simply compare it with the SHIPPED ROM List in the WIKI! I am sure they flashed the ORIGINAL SHIPPED HTC Rom ... ! BTW: If it is the original AT&T Tilt, then they have (for sure) performed a SIM UNLOCK and in addition a CID UNLOCK. From my point of view, I do not concider an item as NEW if someone did this to a device!

Thanks Junner2003!!
This is the kind of information I was looking for. I suppose that the higher the rom number, the more updated the rom is?

In general: it is a newer ROM if the number is higher. However, that does not necessary mean that the ROM is better. Newer ROMs contain for sure BUG FIXES for older ROMs but mostly contain a whole bunch of new bugs as well.
If you stick with an older ROM, it has the advantage that often users came up with a BUG FIX for well known issues or at least they can provide some kind of workaround.

OK so I checked the ROM Wiki and found my rom number (3.28.405.0 WWE). Would it be correct to say that the upgrade would be 3.34.721.2 WWE? Is the country code what defines what I can use?
PS:
I must be real slow because I get timeout & have to relogin before I can finish an answer to any post.

WWE is World Wide English so if you speak English it would probably not be a good idea to flash a rom in a foreign language like Australian or something.
Yes it is the newest rom , released in Oct

Orange Branded HD - Upgrade ROM

Hi Guys
Ive done a search but cant find anything specific so im starting a a new thread.
I have a Touch HD which I got through Orange UK.
Rom version sis: 1.19.61.1 WWE
At the moment im told that I cant receive any updates directly from the HTC site and orange dont really seem to care about offering a good after service.
So my option is to flash my phone with a new ROM, however which version to go for is my biggest question and I really dont have any idea. I understand the flash proceure. WIll any ROM allow updates from HTC site?
Thanks
Craig

hi
i also have a uk branded orange touch hd
i flashed it with the latest official rom from htc (the one that needs a serial number to download and the orange serials dont work)
just use a serial provided in the offical rom upgrade thread to download the rom from htc and use uspl 2.5 to flash it
i used uspl 2.5 to upgrade the rom
all info can be found using the search fuction on this forum
i also made a dump of the phone before i flashed it, just need someone to rebuild the .raw files to a flashable rom
hope this helps
math

Nice one Math, that helps a lot! Will give this a go over the weekend.
Craig

Ok, where do we start? Which ROM you choose is really a bit like asking what car should I choose to buy. The choice is entirely yours based on what you want and what you like.
I think the first question to ask yourself is what do you want? What Windows Mobile OS do you want? WM6.1, WM 6.1 with Touch flow, WM 6.1 with the latest version of Touch flow or WM 6.5 Beta. I'm sure there are more but lets keep it simple.
WM 6.1 or 6.5? HTC Touch Flow or not? What is your native language as you have nothing set in your profile etc?
May I suggest you have a look through the first few posts of each of the ROM threads for this month and see what takes your fancy. If you ask ten people you will get ten possibly different answers.
Look at peoples signatures and see what most people use as most display what current ROM they are using. Maybe try a few, but I suggest use the safest route and follow the instructions to the letter.
Its always a matter of personal opinion but I like Duttys current WM6.1 with TF3D XT3. It's the latest and well tested with fewer bugs than the stock ROM from HTC (IMHO) and is based on the latest technology from the next gen HTC phones.
Do your research and enjoy!

Yes, the choose is your, but as an Orange user myself. I was bored with the official HTC Orange Rom and decided to flash my rom. Did manage to keep the back up on original rom in cause of warranty reason. I have try quite a lot of cook rom the only problem I had was mainly with battery life wasn’t good and will not last for a day or so. Since with this rom, HD|ROM||WWE|| ** EnergyROM HD Series 21042 - Final Topaz Manila ** || Build 40909 || man!! The software and battery life is incredible. Yes I would recommend to you

where did u get this rom from? link?

couple of newbie questions. I also have orange phone ...
If I upgrade to the latest HTC rom will I loose all my programs installed in the phones memory?
Will I loose my programs/they stop working (e.g. Tomtom) that have been reigstered with the phone (in add/remove programs) on my memory card?
Can I restore everything from a backup (sprite) ?
Is there any way of goign back to the older ROM if I need to send my phone back for warranty reasons?
Thanks

USPL and HSPL these are different method of putting new ROM to your phone.
you will find more information in here:

with this method you can get a backup of your current ROM

Thanks again. I never thought it would be so complicated. I thougth someone would have created a GUI for this stuff, its amazing what they have GUI's for these days and this is still command line.
Still unsure as to wether I can restore my sprite back up after going to 1.56 rom though. With the amount I have installed its probably not worth the effort for now.

AT&T Tilt2 custom ROM risks

Investigating replacing ROM on my tilt2 with a custom 6.5.1 ROM and have several questions.
Question#1 What are the risks to performing this?
Question #2 How do I backup the entire phone so I can restore it like it was when I opened out of the box from AT&T? (even after a hard SPL)
Question #3 If I need to return the unit for any reason back to AT&T, would I be able to do this after flashing the ROM and performing hard SPL ? Or will they detect this has been done and deny me?
Thanks

I'll try to answer the best I can. Anyone please chime in...
A1) Primary risk is permanently messing up your phone if you don't perform the HardSPL correctly! Other than that, every other risk is minor when you're actually flashing the ROM becuase it seems to me like its close to impossible to brick your phone with HardSPL.
A2) There is no REAL way to backup your entire ROM like you can in Android (Nandroid backups). However, there's always the stock AT&T ROM that you can flash back and than use programs such as Microsoft MyPhone to backup and restore your personal data.
A3) You can Relock your phone using the relocker. This is available in one of the stickys...probably the one with the HardSPL.
Anymore questions, please ask!

yeah
I think rvashi pretty much nailed it all, however if you ever do have to revert to stock make sure to read all the info! You'll need to revert to stock ROM and Radio. I've never done it on my Rhodium but on my Raphael it was quite easy... I assume its no different on Rhodium!
Just read the stickies and check out the wiki! I made sure I'd read through the procedure thoroughly prior to starting and had no issues! Of course I've been flashing ROMs starting with the Kaiser and not much has changed from that device procedure wise!

Not all roms include radios. Ive never flashed a radio yet, on my kaiser or my tilt 2, but it sounds just as easy as loading the roms.
Here, i have a question to ask. Whats the difference between a rom that lists WWE and one that doesnt?

WWE means that the language of the phone will be english, if you install a ROM with something else like FRA then the phone will be in that language, in this case french.

hey guys!! i need the official upgrade for my device henever i go through the htc website they say this software is not suitable for your device, can somebody give me the direct link, heres my device serial number (S/N) :HT823GN22600

Hi guys I am looking for any compatible rom that is English. I have Diamond unit with Spanish ROM on it. I need English compatible ROM. I tried one from mediafire link above but installer gave me error saying invalid vendor id. I guess I can't just install any it needs to be specific carrier or vendor.
Here is info from about:
version: 1.93.476.3 ESN
Data 09/02/08
version 1.00.25.08
version 52.33a.25.17H
I really don't know anything about this unit I do not see any carrier markings on the box or start up screen , it looks like unbranded unit made for Spain may be. If possible provide direct link to rom I can use or may be some advice where I can look.
Thank you !

Thank you very much for your reply. Unfortunately I tried several roms that I thought are English and all of them showed me "INVALID VENDOR" error. is there anyway you can specify ROM I can use with my unit, if you not sure what I have to begin with I'd be more than happy to provide any info needed to identify unit I have.

Hard spl and you can install whatever rom u want....
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=416211
....
CID lock (aka vendor lock): put on your device by the manufacturer to prevent installation of a ROM not released by them.
HardSPL: This modified bootloader allows a much safer flashing process to take place since it reduces the chance of permenently bricking your device. It also removes the need to CID Unlock the device since it ALWAYS reports SuperCID when flashing. See the official thread for more info.
