Anyone tried this on Blackstone? I see QMAT now also supports blackstone. So it may be possible to create a goldcard/unbricker for blackstone also.
See excellent wiki by my friend dsixda.
More info on QMAT can be found here.

Rest assured it has been tested if it's implemented in QMAT. There's no reason why it shouldn't... Goldcard doesn't really offer any substantial benefit over patched SPL (HSPL, USPL) when it comes to unbricking though.

Yeah, I just found out. Had 2 pm's this week from users who bricked their phone. Today this thread was very useful. So if there is no need in exchanging experience this thread can be closed mods.
I can make a goldcard for any htc phone anytime using my own program...
this topic is not very special though, unbricking can be done many ways.
It seems there are more ways to unbrick than to brick them now
what about unbricking a security unlocked phone with a wrong radio?

I can't remember who said one could make of a thread whatever you intend
At lease I am very interested in creating a goldcard for blackstone. Just out of curiosity. Willing to share cmonex

Not with a goldcard, no... JTAGing the radio/modem core or programming the flash with an external programmer should do it though. That is if you can find JTAG pins or if you can resolder the flash IC.

Please can someone help us unknowlegeble people create something like that for us (romkitchen for windows mobile 5.0)
Thank you.
do your own research
try doing some research instead. I bought my first windows smart phone one week ago, researched the ROM upgrades and methods at this forum and others. I was able to unlock my phone, safely backup my stock ROM, and flash a much improved radio and firmware package without any trouble thanks to the excellent resources available.
If you want someone to do it for you or hold your hand, you have no business hacking your phone anyway. Leave it to those who can research for themselves.

Thank you to everyon for your help. Yes the wiki should be the first stop. But have you visited the wiki lately? it really dosent help out that much, cause it dosent have that much information in the first place.
If you Look at the main forum, i have already complained about that .
as for the link to the romkitchen for the wizard, i will just wait till someone tests it out.

You might be posting this in the wrong section of your brain The guys n gals on the board are generally a happy and helpful bunch, but we always prefer for you to make an effort, even the most feable attempt at failure, before asking questions asked a septendecillion times before.
Have a look at the index page, and you can probably match your device to a picture of your phone. Read the rules on the board (posted in the General thread). And please read everything you can on the wiki, or even google for it.
Basically, the radio rom is the bit that does the radio bit of your phone - communicating with the phone (which is basically a "radio"). You shouldn't need to upgrade the radio part of the phone if you're having no problems.
Upgrading the OS part of the phone will give you new software etc. But the radio is normally fine unless you specifically know that there's a better version around.
But read first, ask questions later.

Well, apparently there is no way to tell if your phone is CID unlocked just by looking at it. you can check out the thread about unlocking your device that-s in this forum
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=285435
and do it. it doesn't hurt, and then you can be sure you have an unlocked device.
then you can flash any wizard ROM you like (provided you do have a Wizard, of course )
enjoy!
Yea just follow the guide. its pretty easy.
ok one last thing....my IPL and SPL are both currently 1.05....so do i need to downgrade first or can i just flash a new ROM straight away ?
anyone ???

Hi Guys
I have a HTC P3600i in Australia. I had a few queries before I try flashing my phone.
These are my current settings.
ROM Version: 3.00.707.18
ROM Date: 07/24/07
Radio Version: 1.46.30.11
Protocol Version: 32.79.7020.19H
Now I wanted to put Windows Mobile 6.1 into my PDA..
1) Which is the best combination of Hard SPL + Radio + ROM to put onto my mobile. Can you please provide links here.. I got totally lost on the forum..
2) If I flash and something goes wrong, or if later I want to put it back with its original ROM (found on the HTC website), is it possible to do?
3) Any other things I should know before flashing the three things mentioned above
4) Anything else you guys will recommend to put in to the mobile.
Thanks in advance u guys

NO the Hard SPL for P3600i (search for the thread) is only the Hard SPL.
As for ROM's it comes down to personal choice. There is a specific thread for P3600i ROMs that work, that is the best place to look....read...and make up your mind from there.

What about question 2??
its tough to get to know all those ROM.. can u suggest a few
thanks
OK:
1. Use the flashing tutorial at the top of the "Trinity upgrading" thread.
2. Flash with a ROM from the P3600I Rom Collection thread in the "Trinity Mobile 6" subforum.
Prob best to just go with the 31XiTNY ROMs as a good start... from there you can either decide to CBF and stick with it or try a few different ones... depends how keen you are on this stuff.
As for the risk of screwing things up, your only risk is first getting HardSPL on... if you can get that on and working fine, then a screwed-up ROM flash won't be an issue, you just start over again.
HardSPL has had over 1000 downloads from this week, and no one yet has reported having trouble flashing their P3600i, so I doubt you'll have any issues I know the first time I got into this I was ****ting myself wondering whether I made the wrong choice, but everything completed fine
Of course, you can never tell what will happen, etc. etc. lol so yeh up to you, but the benefits are definitely worth the risks lol

Funny you say that when people keep asking for a working HARD SPL for some of the P3600i because it simply doesn't work on all P3600i.
Did you miss that?

4 people out of over 1000 downloads isn't a big percentage. That and the fact that the OP is based in Australia and all of the australian P3600i from HTC work with Hard SPL (as far as we know) put the comment into context.
It is unfortunate that there are some out there who are not able to complete the HardSPL flash, but there isn't a lot that can be done. If you guys are adamant that the phone is a P3600i and the standard WWE ROM lashes ok on it then it should work with the HardSPL from Olipro.
Andych is right...
Plus now downloads are up to 1119 for HardSPL... 4 problems out of 1119 is something like 0.3%... so 99.7% have had NO problems.
I'd dare say that's statistically insignificant, and that the likelihood of this being a problem with HardSPL itself is low... or possibly some P3600i's are incompatible, unfortuneately - either way, if 99.7% of users have had success, I'd say that's pretty much everyone.
Ok..
So for
Hard SPL: I use Olipro 1.30
Radio: I use v1.56.70.11
ROM: any mentioned here on the thread ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=399779) recommended 31XiTNY
Is that right??
Also someone was telling me about Soft SPL. He has used it in his Herems. Does that work for us?? and how does it work?
Thanks for you statistics lesson ..
I understand your point of view guys .. but if one day you will be in this 0.3%
and everybody will keep tapping you on the back saying "sorry, it should work.." .. we will see how nice will be me calling you "statistically insignificant"

Robert....trust me....for 12 months we WERE the 0.3% so we know your frustration. The problem is that most of us flashed the HardSPL 3 months ago and as it is a Flash once operation it is impossible to replicate the errors you are having. The other difficult part is the that the Supreme genius Olipro who gave us the HardSPL is not fully engaged in his Diamond projects so I doubt he has either the time or the inclination to offer any assistance....sad, but that is the way life is.
I will re-read the problems you and the pther couple of psters are having and see if there are any other things you can try. I do remember though that you all had slightly different Error Codes, which is a concern.
Anyway, hang in there, I won;t get a real chance to read and digest the info before the weekend....but I will do it and post back in that thread.

If you wish I can provide IM and desktop sharing so that you can watch how I do it ... maybe it is us who do it wrong .. I am newbie in flashing but I have 10-12 years of PC experience .. so I doubt I can't follow a simple guide ...
PM me when you have 10 minutes and maybe we can sort this out ...
I know there are tutorials, but they are way too much too read, I was wondering if some expert chef pens down simple method of re-cooking the Rom with any tracking software, so that all the novices like me can protect our expensive phone.
All I am asking for is with kitchen to use for 6.5 Roms and how to re-cook it with any tracking software, in simple steps.
Pls dont get offended by my pic.
Thanks
So you want someone to produce a halfassed tutorial that may not be complete and cover everything. Sounds good, I think I would like to make a rom myself.

If they are long there might be a reason, like, because those steps are actually needed to cook a ROM?
Maybe you could do the effort of reading the tutorials instead of asking someone to "donate" you 10x more of their own time to rewrite something just for you when everything's already there...
u CAN NOT recoock any wm6.5 ROM
u can coock one u self and put inside whatever u want .
ALL NEW ROMS are protected for recoocking by the new basic tool from BEPE .
bye
Your best bet would be too watch the videos in the wiki. They are stright forward and very easy to follow, and if that is too much , you should not be cooking roms for your phone. When I first started cooking, I had a hard time following the text walkthrough untill I found the videos. Maybe you can talk to one of the cooks that have released a 6.5 rom and see if they will help you.

I was asking for help, I know tutorial are there, and I have read it, I am very sure, not many people have time to experiment. All I am asking for is how to insert tracking software in Cooked Rom, thats in easy step, without getting in to changes to the Chefs Rom. Only thing added to the Rom will be the tracking Software.
Hey all... I think this forum needs a thorough explanation of what the term "Flashing" is...
For those who have no idea what this means... have no idea why anyone would want to do it. Differences between a phone that is flashed and one that isn't... What is NoDo... Radio?,
What exactly does this mean?
[NoDo ROM]HD7_TMOUS_2.20.841.02_Radio_5.65.09.11a_22.44.50.1 5_NoDo, by ansar
and this one?
[ROM]RUU_Schubert_O2_UK_3.04.206.01_Radio_5.66.09.21a_2 2.48.50.21_Signed
yes...i have those questions too...tell us...
those are ROMS you can flash on your device...
NoDo is a software update that Microsoft released for WP7...
if you pay close attention, you'll see that there are specific ROMs for each Operator (T-Mobile, O2....) so you should flash only the one's that matches your phone.
You can also flash an unbranded ROM but in order to do that, you need to bypass the ROM's CID verification... visit Goldcard's thread and learn more about that procedure...
