hello developers
i bought a htc p3400 for a month i read all most all the threads on upgrading gene to WM 6 i tried to know everything before getting myself in troubles so i thought that i must take your professional advice i know all the procedures all the way long to get my gene upgraded but i wanted to know it perfectly before doing anything.
my gene have WM 5 and i am attaching all my gene information pics so you would be able to tell me the best for my gene
so please refer me the links for the tutored instructions for upgrading and the best ROM (better be the original ROM of the p3400i ) ,the best hspl, and the best procedures all the way long .
another request if there is a tutorial video indicating the procedures, it would be very helpful
some information to consider :
s/n: HT8229fw=====
ONBL : 1.10.0000
SPL : 1.10.0000
GSM : 02.79.90
OS : 1.10.0.0
also i had made a ROM dump ( OS.nb , EXTROM.nb )
so i want to know how to use it and transform it into a flash able image so i would be able to restore it to its original state if anything wrong happens
i know i have said that i know all the procedures so why i am asking these so many questions but i wanted to know the advice of the professionals and the developers so i wont do anything wrong specially as i'm in a country that there is no support for htc devices, i have been told that no one would help me as the xda-developers.com users .
i know i asked for many things but please try to help me out and i'll appreciate your help.
i am only asking you to refer me to the perfect threads for my gene
and to refer me to the original ROM of the htc p3400i .
THANK YOU IN ADVANCE
1st: do a Hard-SPL;
2nd: Flash your device with a rom.
For your device i recommend you read this Thread
thank you man
sorry man but do you think i wont be having any problems at all with this one
and would you be kind and tell me where i can find the original ROM for the p3400i please
( if you know)
many many thanks for your reply.
and waiting for more recommendings
Genuine advice
Dear brother
My sincere advice regarding upgrading with all these custom ROM is DO NOT GO FOR IT.
Ofcourse u can try these if you are flush with money and do not mind if ur gene becomes bricked.
Okay, Let me tell u some thing. Instead of changing the ROM, you can install some third party applications in ur gene which will improve the look & performance and there is no fear of bricking ur device.
My suggestions:
Batti - freeware
Pocket digital clock - freeware
SPB pocket plus or SPB mobile shell
SPB phone suite
Wiscode Pocketalarm
Second today
SPB Time
SPB Traveler
Vito funcontact - Shareware
Install all these and keep them in the same order in ur today screen and you will see the difference
thanks man for the advice but there is a solution for the bricked genes here
by orefkov and i had made a ROM dump for mine to be prepared
and i'm not going to do this upgrade for only the look
thank you man
and waiting
I only mention this custom rom because is the only available right now for the new genes (s/n: HT8xx).
The only risky process is the hard-spl. Flash a rom never gave me problems (already lost count of how many times I did it testing my cooked roms).
There is a official rom (wm 6.0) here in the forum, but I'm not sure if it works in the new genes.

PS. sorry 4 my bad english.

To dump ipl, spl and radio you need an original rom(wm5.0 or wm6.0) and use nbhextract to dump. I do not know if you can directly dump from the device. Maybe using pdocread
To deepv84
For HTCRT, simply select gene, and it will load the settings needed.
No. you CANNOT use os.nb from others devices than gene. it will not boot.
I made a kitchen for Gene and I'm planning releasing it soon.
I still have to correct some errors before.

sorry 4 my english, i hope you can understand.

Thanks man i'll try it tonight
and for the original wm5 i downloaded it and i already dumped out from it the spl and the ONBL but i am not sure how to figure which version it is so that is why i needed to dump my own ones so i would be sure.
thanks again
but again i needed something else to be sure of ,and i'll appreciate anybody help.
The matter is ,as i traveled through out the hole gene section and read a lot i found that some genes have s/n ht8xxx but in fact accept the old hard spl without any problems , but some other gene with also s/n ht8xxx but in the conterary does not accept it .why?
in my opinion i think the way of of hard spl gene is based on the spl version firstly not on the s/n or the device manufacture date because mine is having s/n ht8xxx but with a 1.10.0000 spl as the same ones that accepted the old hradspl so if you have spl 1.10.0000 you would use the old one and if the spl is 1.17.0000 you should need the new one.
don't you think so?
i am wandring if any one had noticed this thing too and if i'm wrong please correct my thoughts
thank you guys
To mido0109850352
hi sir, every custom rom which i got from this site doesn't contain spl ,ipl
every nbh file contain only os.nb and ext_rom.nb.
and u said u r going to use spl, ipl, from wm 5 rom.
i m novice but i also want to create a full backup of my running rom ,so i m searching a lot in this matter.the orignal posted wm5 rom is not matching with my running rom.so it is useless for me.
and i also have questions -WHY Costom roms dosen't have root certificates??
--can by available backup tools i can dump sucseesfully my all rom parts and cook a rom like original shipped rom?????
if u know How to do plz tell procidure!!!!!!
please!!!!!!!
CAN ANYONE tell me !!!!!!??????
how can check my cooked rom is working fine or not without flashing to my device ,i mean there is any testing tool or emulator for checking cooked ROM???
to deepv84
i had successfully dumped my rom into os.nb and extrom.nb using dump_gene_os_extrom.zip and converted it to flash able (.nbh) file using htcrt (in the attachments)
and while i was searching i found useful tool to dump spl directly from the device (in the attachments ) and i successfully dumped it.
i found another tool to dump the ipl but it didn't work good i think it is for another device (in the attachments too).
but after all searching i finally found the important parts of the rom is the OS.nb and EXTROM.nb wich you can convert them using htcrt(also attached)
because after you do a hard spl for your device hopefully you wont be needing the original spl again because the hard spl will allow you to flash any rom you want even the one you dumped.
but man try to be sure that everything in the right place before doing anything to your gene
take care man
wooooooooooooow yahooooooooooo
hey guys

i'll post later on the procedures i followed now i am searching for the best rom for gene to flash .
and if anyone need help i am up to it .
it really worth it
wooooooooow
Congratulations. Now comes the fun
Hi there!
I'm thinking about upgrading my Touch Cruise to WM6.1 and if someone has some time to help me out I'll be pleased.
- Where can I find the ROM to do so?
- Can be it downgraded to WM6.0 back?
- Have anyone experienced problems with Cruise and WM6.1?
Thank you very very much!!
Hi charlietron,
Upgrade to Windows Mobile 6.1? - Oh YES !
Where? - HERE, Where Else ?Any problem? - No Problems ...
Only problem is You have to help yourself and SEARCH for a start. Happy Hunting.
hehe
No problems, then? Does the HTC Today screen exist in WM6.1? And what about downgrading to WM6 again?
Well, Start Here > http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=381600
OK, I'll try... Do you know if it is possible make a backup of the current ROM? Just for security...
you shouldn t try it as a newbie..
if you want your original rom 6.0 back, you should search for a rom for your device (provider, version etc.).
if you want to backup your pim-data you can use pim-backup 2.8.
if you want to upgrade to an official rom you dont get any problems. otherwise read next
if you re not sure what to do, don t do it. read the links above and the polaris-wiki. stay here a while and listen to the actual roms to know bit more about bugs and speed etc.
when you have bit experiences here, you could upgrade (but think about the explained steps).
greets
voxid
Thanks for the advise, voxid
I think I'm gonna stay with WM6 until I see more clear my way...
I have searched the forum to get an answer and I do not know what to choose to have everything right on my 16key niki. I'm lost and disoriented
I found few like

And more. I do not know which shall I install!!??!! Getting crazy
I just installed NemanjaLO's Rom (your second link) and really like it...
Please how did you cid and unlock your telephone to be able to upgrade to any cocked rom?
Geetings All...
I've just got my brand new Unbranded Palm Treo Pro and it came with Windows Mobile 6.1 pt-BR and I want to update to 6.5.
As a software developer veteran the first thing I want is to do a backup of the whole thing in case of anything goes wrong.
Reading the older posts at this forum I've managed to dump the whole ROM, following the steps I've found on this thread.
Reading further I found a Kitchen along with the ROM with WM6.5 which I believe is what I want.
However, before I flash my phone I want to convert the ROM dump into something that I can flash back in case something bad happens... you never know.
How do I do this? I couldn't find among the plethora of information on this site a way to convert from the RAW files to an usable flashing mechanism.
Regards
Same question here...
I've rebuild the ROM and posted it here, but I need a brave enough person to see if the ROM is OK because I admit I'm too scared to try it myself and brick my phone.
flashing a rom wont brick your phone.
Hello!
I've have a new gene i.e. P3400i with Original HTC ROM windows 6.... and i want to flash it with new 6.5 Roms cooked here by many members and i really appreciate their work ... I'm confused in choosing proper ROM from the POOL of ROM's available in forum.... i no this question is outdated but still can anyone help me to choose which ROM to burn so as i get good phone performance and also good in GUI!.... I've seen lite version ROM's here also but still not able to decide which to use for my GENE.....
my second question is, can anyone provide the GENE SERVICE MANUAL or REPAIR MANUAL and not User manual.... i need it... i'll be highly obliged if anyone provide it.. . i searched on the web but couldn't find..
