Trinity, nearly dead after ROM update

Hi,
I started a new thread because on my previous post I did not receive that much reactions so I try a brand new one.
A few months ago I bought this, in my eyes, really cool HTC Trinity, aka the P3600. One of the main reasons I bought this device was because I read on some forums that this device had GPS functionality, but at that time it was not supported/ebabled yet by HTC but properbly would be in the future. Off course I could not wait, so I tried to install a Dopod version which should enable GPS functionality. Unfortunately I've got a Dutch version of WM5 running on my PDA, so a ROM upgrade was not possible, unless the CID lock is removed. In order to accomplish that I downloaded the tool SSPL, installed it, and executed it on my PDA. After that I tried to install the Dopod ROM, but during the upgrade it froze up. After rebooting, the device frooze up during the startup (when it is display the MS logo for push mail). After that I retried the to run the update, but unlucky me, it stucks at 1%, then device reboots, and I receive the "ERROR [294] : INVALID VENDER ID". on the screen of my PC. My PDA is now worthless because it still freezes up during tje startup.
I' m still able to access the bootloader menu however but none of the ROM updates that I have at my dispossal are working. Unfortunately I do not have the Dutch ROM in my possesion and a quest on the Internet lead to nothing. However, this week I will receive a Trinity at my work (exactely the same). Is it possible to make a backup of this ROM and then restore it back to my nearly dead PDA? Or should i deal with this dead PDA in anoter way to bring it back to live again.
Any help is more the welcome

JolietJake's Trin is not booting to OS, he can't run SSPL

Yep, that's right... If I only could

You may have to suck it up and pay for the unlocker from IMEI-check. I may be wrong, but I think you run that from your pc and only have to connect your trin via usb. I'm just not sure if you need a valid activesync conncection to use it - as you probably can't get that with a "zombie" trin.
Do a little research first if you are going to try.
If you try it, good luck!

I indeed need an active sync connection, which I have.....
....during 10 seconds or so (only just after I rebooted the TRIN)
I also tried to use this tool in Bootloader menu. It's able to set up a connection through USB, the screen on my PDA goes gray and the message ".....ERROR" appears on the screen of my PC. After that the TRIN reboots and freezes up again . Fortunately I did not pay for the tool yet, i just downloaded it)
However I appreciate your help very much!

Too bad, it's the same story, it needs OS/ActiveSync to be running to re-enter boot and flash SPL.

critical problem in jamin for help please

My friend's jamin when he tried upgrading with smart1 wm6
after the flashing process finished it gives the 3 colors of boot loader
the screen flickers continously with the 3 colors
no way to hard reset the device
and activesync doesn't feel it
I searched all the forum for a problem like this but I didn't find any
any suggestion please, or any help?

Flash NVID Rom and try Smart again. Read WM6 upgrade Manuel and readme for the ROM.

Please how can i flash with the activesync doesn't notice my device and where's NVID Rom
Ok. I'll search for it but please help how can I flash it to the device which doesn't recognized or felt by PC

If your device is in bootloader mode, activesync cannot recognize it but this is normal. Jamin is recognize only as a usb device and you can downgrade it to NVID rom easly.
Then you could upgrade your favorite rom, I suggest PDAVIET 4.0.0.1
Bye for now

I think I didn't discuss the problem well
The Problem is when I start to flashing a rom a message tells that check if the usb is connected and if the device is connected .
This is happen with the device is connected to the cable and the tricolor screen is flicking . and the device doesn't open doesn't flashing.

must use NVID rom. maybe qtek nvid one from here? http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Prophet_ROMs

If the problem still there, Try to release the battery for 1-3 hours and put it again to the device, go to the boot loader and pray. Hopefully it could work. Actually, this way worked on my Himalaya and Prophet.

Just run the "Step 1" component of the PDAViet ROM (http://rapidshare.com/files/32728615/Prophet_PDAViet_Step1.zip), which is just a plain AKU 2.20 NVID. This will find your device even if its in bootloader mode (it doesnt depend on activesync). Just flash it with that sucker and you should have a working phone on WM5, then you can safely upgrade it to WM6 (or leave it if you like).

Error 260... If i remember correctly that's "cant find device" or something.
Few things to check:
Is the PC you are upgrading on running windows vista?
If so, use a different PC running windows XP.
Have you tried a different USB cable?
If not, do so, this tends to be the cause of problems like this.
Have you checked device manager?
Go to control panel, Administrative tools, computer management, device manager and see if you can find your device. If it has a yellow ! icon on it or is listed as "Unknown device" or anything like that then you may need to reinstall the drivers (int hsi case the easiest way to do that is to reinstall activesync). If everyhting is working properly it should show up as "HTC USB Sync", "PocketPC USB Sync" or something like that under the heading "Mobile Devices".
Have you just plain tried another computer, regardless of the OS?
I found that I could never get my phone to flash on my laptop, but it worked without a problem on my desktop. This is not to say laptop's cant do it, it simply means some computers just have problems like (in my case i believe) no USB 2.0, or too low-powered USB ports.

Yesterday My friend went to an I-mate customer service who tel him that

Please Give me technical advice about this problem
and is there a web site for him to buy this board (i-mate jamin)?

I've tried everything... even tried it on my desktop... but my phone just wont turn on now. i've kept the battery removed for more than 8hrs now... i've even charged it for more than 8hrs non-stop..nothing happens..
maybe i should get hold of a charged battery & try it with that battery...?
Any clue how to get my phone started??

Help if possible please?

Hi all, am a noob to this and have dloaded and tried several roms here but got nowhere.
I have an orange SPVM2000 running WM2003
my PC is running Vista Premium ( so no active sync as such)
and i have a dock station
alot of the roms require to put the update to SD then boot to Bootloader and run, but i cannot do this as when it is in cradle i have no access to reset button and if i goto bootloader first then put back on dock the PC will not read the device.
I AM WELL LOST.
please could some one reply with a dummys guide please?
i have read as many tips guides and stickys and still lost.
I do not care if i upgrade to WM 5 or 6 but woud prefer 6
THANKS!!

for BA particularly, you will flash direct from your computer.
I dont know whether your Vista is compatible with the flashing software, but XP surely does.
Do further reading, I am sure u will understand what I mean.

And a comment for the bootloader problem: first you put the device in bootloader mode, then you put it back in the cradle. Simple as that.

ALL DONE
All sorted cheers, WM6 up and running, i did a bit of fiddlin and away i was, no need for bootloader as it did it itself, it would not use vista so i use xp with active sync. cheers all

touch dual stuck in tri-colour

hi folks,
I am in real trouble. while trying to unlock i hard-resetted it, but now the phone is got stuck in tri-colour mode, I don't know what to do. Basically now it went like funny. it would not turn on, while u put it on to charge it will show the tri-colour and also if i leave it on charge it is getting hot. Do u guys recon any chip to be hitted?
if u need to know anything else pls let me know.
Regards

have you loaded a rom on to it?

hi there,
Not actually, basically one of my friend tried to unlock it in first place. I don't really know what he did with that. but the phone is totally dead now. If anyone can help me that will be highly appreciated because this phone is not mine, this is customer's.
If he tried to put rom on it what consequence would happen and is there any way to get out of there?
Regards

windows software gone
Hello there,
It's me again. I think on this the software is missing. Because if i connect it to the computer it brings on the tri-colour and shows usb connection. So, the software i think missing. If anyone can give me a link how to put the software in there i will appreciate that. But still i am not pretty sure why it is getting hot while charge and why it is not turning on even it charged.
thanx

If you are stuck in the bootloader, download MTTY, connect via USB (Activ Sync must disabled via USB!!!) and type the Command "boot"

Try it ... search for Tri-Color or Bootloader Mode.

still no solution
No success mate. I have downloaded the mtty. and it says usb port cannot open. but if i go to com3 it allows me to write something over there. i write boot on it but nothing happening , and actually i don't know what would happen?
regards

Try it again ... again ... again ... you need to connect VIA USB!!!!!!!!
If he cant Open ... shut down your Activ Sync!
If you cant ... use a other PC. Vista have some bugs and Windows XP 64 too.
