I dont' know if this is the problem of onkolog rom or just the way i flash my phone.
First i use the old rom of davideuck Davideuck_V-7, CE OS 5.2.20769 on 29,March . I then got trouble with battery drained with this rom when i used SPB 3.0.
I try to update to new 6.1 rom of onkolog on 1, May
This is what i did.
My phone was on and connected to my PC. I then run HardSPL 1.56 successfully.
The phone was on again and i run the wrapper file in the same folder with onkolog rom. It run smoothly but when it recognized my O2 network it told me to be restarted after 5 seconds and when the "htc" words appear my phone hang.
i need to do a soft reset and this time it worked.
I then tried to install flip it. It required to restart after install and this time i got hang again.
I install htc Tweak and use it soft reset, some times it worked sometimes my phone hang and i need to do soft reset.
The same problem appear when i used A-A reset software.
I then decided to go back to early version of onkolog 6.1 rom (used older version of hspl) on 1-April and still got the same problem.
I tried to reflash with uspl but still stucked with usb driver.
Can anybody tell me how to show this problem . I really like the idea of onkolog but maybe he is too busy to answer me.
After flashing the rom for WM 6.1 with error flashing, my P3600i bricked and could not load into window mobile, there is error 270 when installation the hard spl or any cooked rom. And check by the softawre mtty with command task 32, the cid level become FF, so I could not flash any rom because it is not supercid.
First, I need to clarify that, the P3600 not equal to P3600i, so the unbrick method of P3600 could not apply for the P3600i.
After reading many messages from forum xda, it is know that the P3600 could use the splxploit to unbrick the P3600, it is a easy way for P3600 to unbrick and then install other WM rom. However, because the rom size is different, the splxploit could not make the P3600i unbrick.
It is know that another method is using the mini SD card with fat 32 format, and Rename the .NBH file to TRINIMG.nbh and copy it to the root folder of your miniSD card, then go to the engineer mode for flashing, however, I think that this method is flashing like using the USB connect PC, and for the P3600, could find the official rom to solve the bricked problem.
Finally, I found the gold card solution from the page http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Elf_GoldCard
, this may be the solution to unbrick the P3600i, it is because it is making the ppc become a supercid, so you have the right to flash another rom, but this is still very complex for other models p3600i to try it.
For the conclusion, there is still not brilliant method to unbrick the P3600i except the senior member that have their professional method. Eg. Flashing the rom with other equipment directly. I think there is only two methods for me to unbrick the P3600i, but I still could not do it.
1. Flashing the official rom for your p3600i the level is "CID", only could install with the official rom. But I could not find any HTC official rom for for P3600i. You need to find the official rom that match with your P3600i, and then you could flash it in the engineer mode or mini SD card method.
2. To cheat the internal OS, making the "CID" level to "SUPERCID", like using the gold card method to unbrick and then install another rom, but this method is still very complicated for P3600i.
3. Wait.......
Futhermore, I have tried the SD card flashing method, format the SD card to fat 32 and tried to flash the p3600i with the official rom, which not same as the CID. The result is failed, so for the conclusion, the SD card flashing method same as flashing the rom from the computer, it is just using another method to flash only.
For the gold card method, I have tried to make the gold card which could jump over the CID check by the SD card, I am following the procedure of the ELF gold card, with the software of QMAT,however, when I generate the HTC gold card for my bricked device's key of trinity, the QMAT software auto shut down, so I could not generate the HTC gold card, I have tried to generate the HTC gold card for Elfin, that's is OK, but I could not use the sd card to boot my device to supercid. And finally, I could not success to flash the rom.
Finally, I have asked the HTC support to provide me the official rom because they haven't released it. They told me that the rom could not give me because this is the original rom and not the update rom, so could not give me, and suggest me send back to HTC for checking. So
I send back the p3600i to the HTC service center for checking and repair, because they have the official rom for my device CID: HTC__601, I think they just flash the device with the HTC official rom, then the device is unbricked. However, the result is very disappointed, they tell me that I need to replace the mainboard for the device to work again, because out of warranty, the price of change mainboard is very expensive (could buy another new model), I argued with them about why the fail of flashing rom, is software the problem, need to change the mainboard, they said this is the only solution to solve the problem, so I rejected their suggestion and got back my bricked P3600i.
I can only to wait for the soultion about how to unbrick the P3600i now.
Waitng the expert to
1. making splxploit for p3600i (because p3600i is 256 Mb rom)
2. the goldcard method, it is difficult to borrow the wm device from other because I dont know there is any risk for the wm
I don't know if I can help you but will try since this forum has helped me.
My P3600 is basically screwed. It's a walking zombie brick phone.
Why zombie? Because I bring it back from the dead everytime!
I dropped my phone quite badly twice in a day a few days back,
Next day I woke up... my pocket alarm had hung and I had to hard reset because a soft reset brought about the Tri-colored bootloader screen.
After that, everything was GONE... so I decided I might as well load a new up-to-date ROM. Was using Akeo's rom happily before that.
Did the usual SPL routine, new radio, new OS rom.
Installed new stuff...
But then phone would continually enter bootloader screen most of the time when I did a soft-reset. Except that it would have a terrible error message that only gave me the option of trying to restart without changes or basically reset everything to original settings (or something like that which meant everything is gone again). With the error message in place... nothing would work.
Could not reset into normal bootloader. (without the error message)
Windows mtty.exe method could not connect. (it would under normal bootloader)
Activesync was obviously disabledsync.
Flashed radio, spl and OS roms repeatedly using Des' SSPL and Olio's HardSPL 1.20 and 1.30 to no effect. It would always come back with that error on a random reset.
Then I read about the method of flashing with SD card. But this didn't solve my problem... it would come back still after a reset.
Mtty.exe from Windows XP to format nand and mark bad blocks etc.
Nothing found.
Finally, I almost gave up.
Then out of desperate measure.
I decided to leave a copy of a TRINIMG.nbh in the SDcard for GOOD!
It's basically an SPL image. Done with the NBHutil.
Used it to split out the HardSPL 1.30 spl.nb and merged it with the splash.nb and sub-splash.nb from my current OS rom.
Everytime I reset... there's still a chance it will enter bootloader mode with that horrible error message. But in such a situation... I now simply choose not to reset settings to default and instead simply pull out the battery.
Then plug it back in and power it on again. 80% of the time... it boots back into Windows mobile like normal on the first try! No loss of settings... nothing nasty. Back to normal! The other 20% of the time? I just pull out the battery and power it on more times! Till it works! Hasn't failed me yet in 5 days. Mind you, I was bricking it twice a day before this. That's progress!
I simply use SPL backup to make a full backup anyway whenever I install any new software etc, contacts etc.
Give it a shot.
I don't know why it worked for me...
Maybe I have bad sectors or something where the SPL is.
Whatever it is... the SDcard's TRINIMG.nbh works as my SPL now.
Think of it as a case of a bad bootup sequence on an old dos system needing a backup msdos bootdisk to do the trick!
Good luck!
Hard SPL 1.30 should be SuperCID and having that boot from SDcard may resolve your flashing issues. IF IT WORKS!
Thank you for your experience, I will try your method later!

I did not try another method because I have borrowed my P3600i for my friend to help me unbricked. And finally, he was done.
My friend tell me, he is trying the old official rom of P3600, he tells me that he dumps from his P3600, I dont know how he dumps and then he is using the hex editor to MODIFY (HEX EDIT) the ROM FOR THE P3600i. You could refer to this page for the modify method
"http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=399779". And finally could success to flash the rom.
I think for the P3600i user, you could try the official rom of P3600, of the same location, for modifying the rom size, and then try to flash the bricked p3600i.
Now I could install the hardspl and try another cooked rom again.
Thank the help of my friend.
I have hardspl'd, and without changing radio, got my WM6.5 going. I am currently on manilla radio, the oldest one, and want to upgrade to 1.11.25.1. But when I use the upgrading program it automatically assumes I am upgrading main ROM instead of the radio...Its hard to articulate but even with only the radio.nbh file in the folder it assumes I am going for a ROM update, or atleast tries to update that only which causes the whole thing to crash and my phone to reset. I am running a HTC Diamond GSM.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Whether youre upgrading using RUU or the internal storage method, the radio upgrade is perceived as a ROM upgrade. The reason it is crashing is that your phone is probably not security unlocked and you are trying to install a ported radio.. Just my guess though. Feel free to correct me.
Hello,
I have bought the VPA Compact from a friend in Germany, but I would like to use some italian ROMs, because on the device there was a bepi German ROM with WM5.
So I decided to change ROM; I found the HardSPL, but I didn't care about the fact that the Olipro HardSPL was not installed yet.
Then I putted on the device two italian ROMs, and all seemed ok, because I have installed Claros 3.51 ROM and another one with WM6.1, with also a new RADIO 1.46.11 (or 1.46.10).
Three days ago I saw on Internet about the possibility to put into my device a WM 6.1 Elegance ROM by eLIas, so, ignoring that I need to have Olipro HardSPL, I started to put the WM 6.1 Elegance, but the flashing has not finished well.
In that time, I didn't lost my courage, and I started to use MTTY and I found that there were some blocks corrupted.
Then I tried to flash ROM by miniSD card: neither in this way I reached the goal to put a working ROM on my device; because I tried to put old WM5 italian, Claros 3.51 ROM, some HardSPL (1.04 and 1.1).
So, I ask you if there's some possibility to recover the device and put some ROM, or I need to throw it into the basket?
Hope that someone will answer me.
I wanna say two more things:
everytime I try to flash by WinXP, there is an error (260) from the application utility.
When I try to put a new ROM, the device is turning off after only 1% of progress, and when I try to put an HardSPL, the progress reach 100% and the device is turning off, but I don't see any new change...
Thanks in advance for reading and replying
Hi all.
Is it task 29 the same thing with HardSPL?
If not, then what it is?
When should I run HardSPL. I understand that I do not have to run it everytime I install a new ROM, but do I have to run it after 3-4 ROM installs or just 1 time and it is enough?
Thanks.
Task29 is a totally different thing to HardSPL. You only need to run HardSPL once, then you can flash custom ROMs as well as official ROMs. HardSPL stays on there through all of that.
Task29 is a program that wipes the ROM on your phone. So I would recommend to use it every time before you flash a new ROM (after you've backed up your data etc). It wipes out only the ROM area (not HardSPL, nor the radio), to make sure that when you flash the new ROM it's going on cleanly.
HardSPL only needs to be done once. HardSPL unlocks the SPL, which allows you to load "un-official" ROMs. Without it, you will only be able to flash ROMs from your carrier. After you HardSPL, the SPL will remain unlocked unless you deliberately re-SPL using the instructions on the HardSPL thread (for instance, to return for warranty repair).
As mentioned above, Task29 wipes/formats the memory. Its not absolutely mandatory. But may help prevent some fragments of old ROMs from causing bugs in your newly flashed ROM. It only takes a couple minutes to do, so its well worth it. I do it before every ROM flash.
Thank you very much. You were of great help. Now I think I understand what it`s all about
