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

1. The custom rom you have flashed might not have the htc task manager which ur device had as default, and the rom you have flashed in wm 6.5.3 whose functions are different from wm 6.1 which you device had by default.
2. That program might have not included in the custom rom
3. Thats rom specific problem.
And tell the source of ur rom? from which thread you downloaded that rom?
THANKS!

Hello ,
I use the ROM Blayo 0.6 and i just put my phone S-Off .
i want to update to v.0.7 but in the thread of the ROM i see in installation area :
Installation
...If your phone is S-OFF then I guess you know what to do.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Can i update the rom as usual (by recovery) or do I need to do something for don't lost my S-Off after update ?
I read in some thread that i need to remove the HBOOT from the rom.zip , is it right ?
If yes , is there a tutorial post for do it ?
Thank you in advance for your help .
Bye.
Flash the new Rom as you would any other, you may need to use an older version of the fake flash software (2.5.1 or something like that) it is found in Rom manager.
Sent from my S-OFF Bell Canada HTC Legend.
Flash the 0.7 Rom, you need nothing else. It works and my Legend ist still S-OFF.
Hello ,
Ok thank you guys for informations .
Bye.
Hi Guys ,
i have a big Problem here , i try to flash Android on my HTC HD2 but now i have nothing on my device. i use EasyAndroid 0.7.1 to flash the HD2. Everthing worksfine but after "wipe my device" i cannot install an new ROM ??
I do the following things.
1.) look wich spl on my device , there was 3.03.0000 and install the rigt version of HSPL if i press the volume down key during boot i see in the second line 3.03.HSPL
2.) i checked wich version of Radio is installed there was 2.15.50.14 the right one i think so i started Easy Android 0.7.1
All Steps do work but now i cannot flash magdlr to my device ?? After Wipe i see no rom version but i think this is correct or not ??
I need my phone so i will pray to you guys to help me ....
MAGLDR is only working with 2.08 hspl!
omg im so dumb now i reed this ARGL is my device now ready for the Trash ???
Stop being such a drama Queen

Just start again from the beginning. Don't miss a step at all and read at least 10 posts from each thread before doing anything. to your phone.
Really all you need to do is wipe it clean and do it right this time.
Happy learning...
Also you might just be better using this tool for the work in hand.
Download the HD2Toolkit. You can click here to get it > http://nrgz28.sylvester20007.com/HD2...lkit_setup.exe (original thread at http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1090783 )
im sorry but icke saids magldr is not for 3.03.HSPL ist there an alternative Bootloader hiw i can install on my device ? I found an original Rom now i have wimo 6.5 again but i want Android , im new in the scene so i think i ask some dumb questions but everyone of us was an beginner or not ?
Why not just flashing 2.08 hspl?!
Same steps as flashing 3.03 hspl.
just don't use HSPL 3.03. it's for other uses MAGLDR for installing Android only runs on HSPL 2.08. there is no need for thinking that higher number is better, it's a tool built for a job.
If the tool you are using does not do it use another one. I added a link in the last post to a different set of tools that is designed for end users that need everything all in the one place HD2 ToolKit, give it a try.
Could i flash HSL 2.08 over my existing one 3.03 ?
Yeah. No problem. Keep in mind that only cLK works with both HSPLs.
It works thanks .... i flashed the HSPL 2.08.HSPL do the device and everthing works fine ....
Glad you solve it! And next time as ForgetfulGuru said just read the thread more carefully! Cheers!

Well done and welcome to the frustrating world of flashing Android. Now all you need to do is try every other ROM and work out why that one doesn't work like the other and you go round and round in circles till you end up back where where where where. Oops brain just Forced Closed . ;-)
