An inquiry in a very important matter

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 mido0109850352
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 has just cracked my gene i couldn't believe my eyes but really i cracked it i am posting for every one who helped me
( many thanks guys special thanks for "Sumit Bhardwaj" you are the man) thanks again 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

need help - OPAL in india

Dear all
I have bought OPAL (Touch Viva) in India
It came with a Idea cellular Sim connection
and the splash sceen shows cellular operator's Logo...
But the shopkeeper gave it unlocked to all networks...
is it safe to flash 6.5 ROM on that...
Senior members please help...
Earlier I was using Gene with 6.5 running on it very fine
waiting for response
Thanks

there won't be any problem in flashing 6.5.
I'm running 6.5V13 in my idea Htc viva mobile for a very long time now. After you flash it, the idea operater logo disappears or to be precise, it will be deleted.
If you fancy the Idea start screen, dont flash 6.5. Apart from that, if you flah 6.5, the mobile will be a delight to use and please stick with V13, it is as far the best version of 6.5.

Thanks Satish

Mate,
Get the V13 from this Link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=504788
i'm using the one which is posted in the aforementioned link. Don't forget the hard spl before you flash the rom. I reckon you will have some idea about that. Anyways just for the sake of caution, don't forget that. And i'm from Mumbai.

If you can PM me ur mobile no. that would be nice of you
Hoping for a helping hand
Thanks for reply

Mate, it's very simple.
Just download the Hard-Spl from this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=446446 and follow the steps mentioned in the link. Once you've done that.
Just go to my previous post and go to that link which includes the 6.5 V13. Download that and install it in the same way as the Hard-Spl. Within 10 min, you can complete everything and start using 6.5.
Its not that complicated, just try it.

Hi, I have elfin (HTC Touch) and I have Windows Mobile 6 professional and I want to upgrade it to 6.5 so can anyone type me a link so I can download the ROM directly because there is more than one ROM in the forum and I'm afraid to download a wrong one so please help me...thanks

First you read this guide completely.
Link:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=406721

I read it well and I knew big information about my elfin but really I don't know how to start please tell my what to do first I can tell you the info about my elfin
ROM Version:2.20.707.1B WWE
ROM Date:10/02/07
Radio Version:03.07.90

EXT ROM Version:2.20.707.101
Windows Mobile 6 Professional
CE OS 5.2.1620 (Build 18125.0.4.2)

mind my sarcasm...but he meant to say...to upgrade your device without damaging it...you will need to follow some instructions....and if you read it well and if you are a sane guy...then you would atleast EDIT your POST and remove the god damn IMEI of your device....people dont give away their IMEI jus like that you know...its something only you should know...and jus so you know...i m not trying to piss you off cos you are as we call a newbie....so here is a breakdown of what you need to do
1. your device is an ELFIN...so we know
2. jus like you unlock your sim to use your phone...you need to unlock your device...(so that it becomes writable)
3. to do so...you would need to make use of a part of software called USPL and IPL...USPL does the part of keeping your device unlocked...and IPL needs to remain the same series....if you flashed a USPL of 3.XX then your IPL shud be 3.XX series
4. now do the reading on your own this time and discover all flavours of 6.5 ROMS available here....
btw i wonder why you havent tried the official 6.1 ROM from HTC

thanks so much, first i don't know even the difference between the 6.1 and the 6.5 but when i saw some topics about 6.5 and the people said that it works better with the HTC touch so I think in that, now i made a backup ROM from the one i have is that good step and i already downloaded 2 different ROMs from the forum (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=552371 , http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=426540)
but how can i make the device rewritable is there a application i can download? and what's your opinion to upgrade to 6.1 or 6.5?

Upgrade to 6.5 Final Build 21234.

Tht's a good thing to backup your Original ROM, should be helpful in case of errors, bricking or re-servicing. (though i forgot to do mine )

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
There's is no problem about being not rewritable or sort! Once you CID unlock and upgrade your IPL/SPL, you can upgrade or degrade your device to any ROM you like whenever u like!
About opinions, there are alot of people here and would obviously have their own different opinions and so you will have too! I'd ask you to try out ROMs yourself and use the suitable one you choose. If you'd like to have a stable ROM, i'd advice you to use the 6.1 ROMs and if you'd like to have newer latest builds, you can go for the 6.5 ROMs (which have been optimized to their best stable by respective cooks). In the end, its up to you which you choose as your BEST ROM!
PS: Do read if the ROM is suitable for your device, in this case- Elfin and few FAQs posted out by the ROM cook. Respect others work and last but not least Read & Search before asking Questions!!

Thank you very much I finally upgraded my elfin to windows mobile 6.5 and it's awesome but i still have one more thing i want to make it read and write Arabic language without convert the whole interface is there a patch? I already searched about that and i found a file but it's not an application and I don't know how to use it. before that in my old 6.0 i downloaded an application when i install it, it solves the whole situation then i tried it with the 6.5 but the start menu won't open after i installed it so i formatted the ROM.

hi, first of all, the backup you have done is probably not ready to be flashed, so whatever you do, dont flash that again or u will brick your phone.
arabic? take a look at this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=426281
and finally, i think it will be better if u update ur ipl to 3.10 too.

thanks crapula512 but what you mean with the backup not ready to be flashed? is there any other step ?

what he means is....you may brick the device with the backup you just created. so if you wana restore your original...which is the one you have backed up now...you should and can only flash that by making use of USPL or HSPL...search the forum for USPL and HSPL...and you will be given guides...

No worries
When you as a question you're stupid for about 10 seconds, if you don't ask you're stupid forever. The IPL/SPL thing is regarding your boot loader. Doing a hard SPL is a great saftey measure that can be explained as you read about it. You wanna head here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=358225 to find out more on Hard_Spl'ing your wing
The cab collection is a great place to start... great lil honey pot of cabs you can throw on your wing. Outside of there, it's a combonation of imagination, search engines, and making sure the app is 96 dpi/qvga compatible. Hope this information is helpful for yah

Thnx for the reply..
I checked the IPL and SPL..see first post..so now I can flash roms right? what mobile windows version are possible? also 6.5 or 6.1 on Herald running?
--is this http://thewingster.com/wingroms.aspx
where i can use roms? as wing = Herald= p4350 = o2 Terra (thats mine)?!?!??!

And I believe your O2 Terra phone IS equivalent to the Wing, BUT, I am not positive. Try to do some research on it before you blindly flash. If it is said to be the Herald/P4350/Wing, then flash away, and you can get your ROM's from The Wingster or on the forums here.
Feel free to ask more questions. The guides I linked you to are the best written guides on the forums, so you should feel very comfortable with them (thanks to Apreincher for writing some of them!)

ok thanks a lot..i will read all and try..but can you also say what are the advantages of Rom 6.5 or 6.1???
---will my programms that i have installed(tomm tom,,spb suite...) remain on it..or do I need to raarrange all?

6.5 = Windows Mobile 6.5 - More finger friendly, new today screen, etc.
6.1 = Windows Mobile 6.1 - This is basically what came with your phone. You get about 1-2 MB more free RAM with 6.1, but I recommend WM6.5 because it has better features.
Click on the links, and then click on some of the ROM's there, and watch the slideshows to see what you're going to get. Then decide.
Programs - All programs and data will be LOST when you flash a ROM. Back up your contacts/calendar/tasks/etc with your PC through Outlook, or use Microsoft MyPhone to save them wirelessly. For your programs, you will have to reinstall them.

ok..now i can see and decide..Many thsnks

Many many thanks in advance

You have to flash a radio with .50 in it, instead of .51.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=611787 for more instructions on doing this
After your radio is good, just download an Android SD build to your SD card, boot into WinMo, launch clrcad.exe and then haret.exe
Clrcad doesn't open any window, haret launches Android.

I do not know whether you have ever installed android on HD2 or not, but according to my understanding you are just starting and you are overwhelmed. Basically if you have HD2 with win6.5 OS then you should start by installing HSPL3, followed by radio(your radio seems to be very old. Flash new one 2.15.50.xx). Once you are done with these 2 steps, you can install android on HD2.

I agree. I think you should start with SD builds...
Try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=931192

He said (first sentence) that he wants to dualboot actually, that's why

Yes i am confused ,
Just been reading up on the previous threads ,as i have a 1024mb of rom i followed the link ,it says it's only for use on "This Guide is only for T-Mobile USA HD2 with 1024 Mbytes ROM (1024LEO)
The ModelID for this version of HD2 is PB811200"
Is it ok to start with this ? or should i find another one

SD builds... http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=735

As i said in my first reply... you will need HSPL3 and radio first. then only you will be able use android on HD2. Try the SD builds of android for dual boot.

Did you check your SPL version. What version do you have???

These are the stats i have
OS 5.2.21869
Manilla 2.5.20121429
Rom 1.72.206.3
Radio 2.07.51.22.2
Protocol 15.32.50
How do i check the spl ? i have soft reset the phone but cant get the 3 colours up

restart your phone and hold the volume down button when it turns back on to get to the multicolor boot screen... that will tell you what spl you have.
Make sure the volume down is held down while the phone first gets turned on, so if you reset it, start holding the volume down right before it turns off and keep holding it until the boot screen pops up.. it should happen right away.
You should be able to use hspl3 with most spl's. Once you have hspl installed, you want to install one of the newer radios, and then your phone should be ready to run android off the sd card.

version 1.66
But it does say on one of the links that hspl wont work on my phone ,it's only usa phones ?
i have the 1024 uk version

Well I am no expert in all this dude. I am just a newb who has tried almost every type of build available. But i am a TMO US user. So I do not know what you can do. May be some experts can help you out... Do not loose hope, there will be definitely someone who can help you. XDA community is really good in helping newbs like you and me.

There is no 1024 UK version. The T-Mobile USA version is the only 1024mb ROM version. The UK/ euro versions are 512mb rom size. I'm pretty sure that hspl3 works with all the phones. Hspl2 might have only been for leo1024s, but cotulla made hspl3 to make it universally compatible. When i sign on with my computer, I'll look it up if you haven't figured it out by then.
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App

I have found this one by cotulla

Which one do i use and whats the differnce between the 512 and 1024 ?
Thanks
