Hey there guys, i just recently found this forum and i'm loving it!
i found things that i didn't imagined that could be possible with my p3600.
so the thing is, i've a htc p3600 (bought in jan 2007) and quite frankly i like the phone alot. recently i saw a htc diamond with touchflo and everything else and i started to think that i should swap phones...until.......... i discovered xda-developers!!
i would really love to update my p3600 (currently on wm5) to a newer wm...with touchflo if possible.
my native language is portuguese, but if the best rom out there is english i don't mind..i just want this baby looking good
so i saw there are alot of roms avaiable... can you guys give me some advice on which one should i choose?
also, anything that i should be aware of before flashing my rom?
to flash my rom i only have to plug it (usb) and run the file... right?
would love some help.
thanks in advance,
so guys, i digged a bit myself and i ended up upgrading the radio to the latest version and installing "Karmba_a_Diamond_Blue_For_Trinity_v_Last"
i like this rom ... but there are a few bugs on it, for example sometimes when people call me i can't see who's calling (specially if the phone is on energy saver with the screen turned off) ... when it comes back on the screen starts flashing and i cant see who's calling... so my question is, can anyone advice me a sweet rom for me to use?
thanks again,
I am by any standards a complete noob at the whole rom flashing thing but here are the files i used.
[P3600i]_HardSPL_v1.1
HTC_Trinity_SIM_CID_Unlock_v1
[P3600i]_Radio_v1.56.70.11
and finally rom WM 6.1.0.4.5.0 Home
it all seems to work well with the only prob so far being occasional memory issues when i run Opera or Inturdnet Explorer.
Hope this helps
Smiffy
Any news on your upgrad
Hi,
I have the same prob, i want to upgrade my P3600 from WM5 to 6 or even 6.1, i upgraded the rom on HTC's website which is a waste of time because i am still left with WM5 on the phone, whats the point of that HTC? anyway i would appreciate any help

I put my TD to "sleep" about a year ago because I thought there were better things around, although I liked the phone a lot.
I have a wish to start using it again for a specific purpose but find I don't have all the forum links that I used to. One thing that is bugging me at the moment is I can't seem to find a link to the Touchflo 3D cab file. Could someone also advise the best ROM to go for these days, I see from Dutty's site that it is not being developed any more....thanks.
I recommend you to test the stock rom 2.03.xxx.x first.
2.03 has been much faster than them older ROM.
Thanks Soderstrom, that's just what I did and also managed to "awaken" the Touchflo 3D. It seems to be working just fine although the wifi seems a bit weak.
You should try Clodyfa's rom - fast , clean and stable ( with me )
thanks for the input...i always used Dutty's ROM's over the years, what are the main differences would you say?
I have just purchased off ebay this extreemly good phone, I was sick of my nokia e71 and fancied a change, I missed the touch screen of phones ive had in the past.
Question for everyone the firmware seems a little buggy and ive checked on htc;s website but any upgrades wont work with my serial number (the phone is original htc but with 3 software on it)
Does anyone else have this problem with their 3 mobile and has anyone on 3 upgraded the firmware to one of the 6.5 versions available and if so does all the settings still work after the upgrade.
Ive upgraded my last wm phone so im ok at doing it but what I dont want is to lose all settings and not be able to access the internet etc ..
cheers in advance - good to be back on xda site ... never again will I buy a nokia !!!

superb question then where can I find the original firmware should I decide against the custom rom ?? I had a lot of trial and errors on my last xda phone and ended up back on the original firmware
i cant wait to get rid of the 3 firmware cos it sucks however wanna be safe just in case and have the backed up firware around
cheers and thanks for the swift response
chris
You may be able to find an original 3 rom someplace ( there isn't one in the wiki ) or you can dump your own rom
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=334680
But once you hardspl your phone to flash a custom rom, you will be able to flash anyone's stock rom, Vodaphone,Orange, T-Mobile...........

The Radio effects signal/gps fix/battery life and the outcome of which is best is very much varied by location.
The STICKY in ROM Development holds alot of valuable info from how to flash to Radios etc.
I have the Kaiser on 3. I have changed the ROM several times and the radio once. I have found that the signal is better on the radio I am using and the ROM's are brilliant. WM6.5 is great, just waiting for a stable wm6.5 with the new m2d v2 installed.
Wack one on and have some fun, just hardspl it first.

Yes will hard spl it ..... which radio did you put on ?
I did on my original tytn without the keyboard (cant remember the name of it) some of the roms I didnt like but always was rest assured that I could change the rom without risk cos of hard spl ...
which rom would you suggest ? do they have the connections setup on it so that I can set up sm/mms/internet access im not that bothered about planet 3 but need internet ...
im gonna risk rom upgrade cos the one ive got is horrendous , ive reset it several times ......
just wanna know which one you suggest ,....
Kaiser / Tytn II on Three
Hi
I picked up an Orange TytnII off ebay and after putting hard SPL on I have been using many roms fine on three UK
My favourite is this one:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=519715
although be sure to check out many of the other excellent roms on here, there is some real talented chef's, I also like the PDA corner roms
Regarding stock I used an orange UK stock rom that also changed the radio, read the instructions well on here as you'll want to make sure you hard reset, stock rom, stock radio, hard reset then 6.5 then radio then another hard reset just to make sure you clear everything.
Regarding radio you can try many different ones, again read the posts you'll find some just don't allow you to make / receive calls if they're not in line with the rom.
I think I have my current setup in my signature.
Also be sure to check out the posts with the iskoot client configured for three's free skype access, getting free MSN is a bit trickier and to be honest the java client is a bit flaky for my liking so I just use it out of my allowance !
pm me if you get stuck
Damian
I have been using this rom, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=507281, found it to be very good.
The radio I have been using is 1710901 but you will have to try a few and see which one is the best for you.
Blinky
just to clarify
so the radio doesnt matter to the mobile phone supplier ..... as long as the radio and new firmware works together it will work on 3 .... ?
ive found a possible firmware but the radio has to be different so its gonna be both upgraded ... im just concerned as 3 software is so tied down that i dont wanna have a non working phone
ive upgraded before on a previous htc phone but didnt have to do radio upgrades .....

I too have an unlocked Orange Tytn II I got on orange contract and unlocked on day 1. Gave Orange sim to the missus and jumped over to three.
I have used a numbe of roms and radios, but currently use Shifu 19 WWE with radio 1.70.19.09. Works perfectly.
I reckon 3 is the perfect network in the UK for Tytn II as PAYG internet allowances are very good.
Its not as tied down as you think. I have the ISkoot WM client running using 3 connections for free calls etc and also SkypeManager running on home PC to get 100% free calls to all uk landlines too. Google SkypeManager.
Have fun!
success
well took the plunge this afternoon and hard spl'd, upgraded rom and radio how easy was that ... finally got a phone that doesnt crash and everything works superb ... settled for stylez black wwe with radio 1.70.19.09
superb thanks for all your help - very happy kaiser owner !!! ....
now I know how easy the process is im sure my firmware will change regularly all you rom makers superb keep up the good work
Dont forget to do the N95 spoof to get free MSN live usage on 3 network.
Ive been on 3 for a while now and think its great, signal isnt allways good where i live though, but what can you expect living at the bottom of the uk.
hello
i orderd this incredable S.phone from some store that's selling 2nd hand
cellphones.
the only smartphones that i had was Nokia's N80\N95-8GB\N73\N82
but those are symbians,now im facing with new kind of phone with WinMobile
i need to recive in 2-3 weeks
im somewhat consorned by those "Cracks" and "Black screen" while sliding the
phone.
all i know that im getting the black version of the phone the owner cannot tell
me what version of the phone he holds
are there any marks that i need to search to know what version of the phone
it is? (by mean version i meant model's X1i\X1c\X1a)
im using gsm network only i have no need in 3G.
the point is :
what are the differences between the model's X1i\X1c\X1a ?
sry for my bad english
also if u can be kind to tell me
* how long the battery hold a charge ?
* the build quality of the phone ?
* can i put hebrew language ?
* can i upgrade to WinMob 6.5 ?
* is it a good phone ?
thank u very much guys
with best regards
Israel ben david
x1i is x1 international which support 30fps cam capture and the 900/1800/1900/2100 frequencies the international world use
x1a is x1 American which because of a lawsuit with broadcom only support 15fps cam capture and the American frequencies which are 850/1900/2100
like i said
is there any way to know which model i have?
You won't be able to tell by looking at it. It's all the same physically. You'll be able to tell by checking out the phone information under the phone settings (I can't remember and can't check because my phone has succumbed to its second flex ribbon failure). From your description of the phone, it's going to be a X1i/X1c just because they don't make the X1a in black. (Unless the seller disassembled the phone and put on a black housing on the X1a, which I doubt) Now what are differences between X1i & X1c? I didn't even know they had an X1c!!! I think they are the same phone and nothing to worry about.
also i have messed with roms that will change it from x1i to x1a and yada yada.
the biggest thing you will find is your getting alot of power now. this phone does everything.
the X1c is for China :\
that's the one that i'v bought the very one
cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=250635158353&ssPageName=ADME:X:RTQ:GB:1123
but! the seller said that it's an Vodafone's Xperia and its unlocked and had
"3" network.
that means that the phone is X1i .
look i dont know much about "Roms" (the Drink is enough though ) i want to
get rid the most of the bugs in this phone.
i'v heard that can be a problem with Multitasking when making calls and do other stuff as some 1 said the phone freezes :\
how does it compare to other phone in his class like the HTC TOUCH PRO and the HTC HD\HD2?
and another Quastion to u guys:
if i'll update the phones firmware will it change the language? as i know the phones has 2 OS :
I. SE OS
II. WM OS
im a bit confused...
ok first off you must understand,
problems posted are not always sterotypical.
i have 2 xperias, and i have hacked the hell out of them. ran numerous roms, numerous programs.
never had a problem with either of them.
i have also had a touch pro, and in my opinion its far better than the touch pro.
if you read the threads about 5 people having issues with this or that, what your not reading is the thousand people who arent having those problems.
im not sure what you mean by 2 operating systems.
it only runs one.
windows mobile
and there is a program built by sony called xperia panels.
its not an OS its a GUI.
the rom i run removed that completely as i do not use it therefore wanted the space.
every question you ask will always have 2 responses one negative and one positive.
the only true way to answer your questions is to answer them yourself with phone in hand.
i dont mean to be harsh, but it seems to me you purchased something without really knowing what you purchased.
and are looking for some comfort by asking and reading on the forums.
touch pro has issues with the slide out keyboard.
that doesnt mean every single touch pro will have it.
xperia people say their having issues with case cracks.
but how are these people using their phones?
everything is based on how the user uses the phone.
the very same thing can be asked about different laptops.
some people will say acer is junk, some will say its the best thing out.
all i can tell you is if you get a phone is good condition, and you get it to work on your cell provider... the rest is up to you on how your expeirence will be.
once u spend some of ur time here reading, u'll know what we're talkin bout and at 100% chance of flasing custom rom which is making the xperia even more better! The Sticky thread is usually that u need to read first.
I own Xperia X1i for about half-year and i am generally happy with it... there are some issues in design, making the phone less sturdy than for example iPhone, but i guess every QWERTY-keyboard device is more fragile than those without it... use it carefully, as any enough hard fall on ground can be fatal (happened to me, but they accepted it as warranty repair )
Xperia's main storage capacity is very limited (about 200 MBs), but stock MicroSD card has 4 GB of capacity which can be sufficient to many users. If it's not your case, you can expand it up to SanDisk's recently released 32 GB MicroSDs.
In-built speaker has poor play quality (if i compare to old good K750i it sucks hard imo) but stock headphones play nicely and their insulating tube gives them large longevity (at least in my opinion )
Qualcomm CPU provides this phone great performance for running many applications at same time, i usually play music, two IM clients and sometimes do something else (for example playing Warcraft II) so i think you don't have to worry about getting your apps slow (unless they are written very ****ty or you plan to run dragon age: origins on it x) )
In-built Xperia panels provide very nice media player (faaaar better than WMP Mobile imo) - but it lacks equalizer (which sometimes sucks, but i had never found any suitable player).
Battery lifetime never gone under 8hrs in my case, even while using my device intensively, 8hrs should be sufficient, and you can recharge it with any USB cable you find in any USB bus, or in car via "lighter hole" (don't know how to say it in eng hope you know what i mean)
there is crapload of applications for WM devices, many are freeware, making your phone capable to do allmost anything (from web browsing to MySQL administration - whatever gets on your mind...)
o.k guys i'v recived the phone it's really the Xperia X1i it's Vodafone version (also the software is by vodafone branded)
its super amazing!
fast! smooth touch!

*somtimes the reception fading away i dont know why...its not happans with
any other of my phones (n82,n95-8gb,w810i,w995 and so on)
*how can i get rid the vodafone version and putting a Clean & unbranded version?

1. that's generally up to you, if you intend on keeping stock rom (default SE firmware) I would advice on it to have latest fixes
2. dunno, search PavelX1 in rom dev stickies, all stock (official) roms listed there
3. read here for starters
4. there's a nodata app from modaco around, search for it
5. maybe radio rom version not good for your region, consider updating (have a look e.g. in gtrab rom library thread rom dev stickies) or search
6. as in 2 or flash custom rom
enjoy

some1 said "Murphy's law" ?
agreed with Draken Korin
you can find roms, change radios tons of stuff
but this is for medium to advanced users. do research before you dive in.
i know that its very anoying but can some one guide me what to do to fix the phone?
im a bit afraid to do that its my firms WinMob based phone and i dont want to brick it...
time for some homework then
check stickies in rom dev, focus on biovolt and phenx for tutorials
then continue with olinex and jackleung
after that you will understand better and be less afraid I hope
ya there isnt much we can tell you.
basically you need to determin how far you want to go.
then learn how to go there.
as Draken Korin said. you need to learn now.
better signal equals better radio
roms increase usablity
but not every radio is right for you
not every rom is right for you.
you need to first become comfortable with what your doing before you do anything.
I dont know whare to start
i know the basic but i dont know how to start...
i'll try to use the phone under WIN XP first to update the phone with SEUS
some ppl said that under vista\7 there are problems to update and they
succeed under XP
hope that it will work...
I agree that it's a lot to take in all at once, but the only way to do it is to dive in. Nice as we all can be, no one is going to hold your hand step by step. If we did, you wouldn't learn anything and you'd never be able to handle things yourself. WinMo is a very self-reliant system, so you'll need to learn how to deal with it if things don't go as planned.
Start by browsing the Tweaks sticky; pick out a few things you'd like to do with simple apps at first. Just installing and learning to work with .cab files will speed your learning process up considerably. The more you do, the more you learn. If you start with simple .cab installs, you won't have to worry about bricking the phone. Just don't install anything that wasn't meant for the X1, just in case
done it!
under XP everyting was smoooooooooooooooooth
now,i'll put hebrew language on it and a lot o' stuffff
thank u all ^^
