Hi all, I'm new here so this is my first post
I recently saw on Youtube the new WM 6.5 wich rocks, its very cool, and I wand to upgrade my phone to this new version. I currently have the latest offical version that is WM 6.1.
So I have this HTC Touch Dual, or Nike, 16 keys version from Orange, I'm pretty sure its also locked on this network so I need to unlock it as I read this is necessary.
I still have my warranty so I would like to make some sort of backup after all of the system files ( Rom, Radio, etc ) in case I fail to upgrade it.
So I now this may be an annoying question but because I saw many threads with unlocking software and ROMs, can you give me a link to thread where there are steps to backup, unlock and flash WM 6.5 to a Nike.
Thank You
First thing you need to do is hardSPL your phone...

Be sure to use hardspl-1.15mfg-nike.nbh, later on you can use 1.22
HardSPL doest change anything on your device, but it is needed to flash custom Roms.
I've got a the official Orange Rom that I would upload for you in case you need it at a later stage

I'm trying to use the sspl-1.16-nike as in the instructions, but when I click on it it gives me "The file 'sspl-1.16-nike' cannot be opened. Either is is not signed with a trusted certificate or one of its components cannot be found.....
I tried several times. I removed the card and SIM and at boot it gives me an exact error for some programs that I have installed on the card like SPB keyboard and iContact.
What should I do ?
1. Disable the keylock/password on your phone
2. Download the attached files
3. REMOVE SIM and SD CARDS !!
4. Connect usb cable
5. Make sure either Activesync or WMDC is synced with the device rather then just being connected via usb!
6. copy sspl-1.16-nike.exe to your device and run it (usb cable must be connected!)
7. after a few seconds "USB" appears on the display
8. unplug and replug the usb cable
9. Then flash the hardspl-1.15mfg-nike.nbh by running ROMUpdateUtility.exe from flash-hardspl-niki directory
10. You should see progress bar on device and be flashed in about 3-5min
Follow this exactly...
* Keep hardspl-1.22-nike-shipped.nbh for later use, I'll tell you when you're finished
God damn Windows Mobile, it doesn't work either way.
Now I tried to put back my SD card and guess what : None if my applications work anymore, even the ones installed on the phones memory like Password Master of iContact, nothing works. What the hell happened with this phone. I have no security lock or passwords, just SIM code but that doesn't matter cause the SIM is out, I don't have card encryption enabled.
Ah, and one more thing, I think it worked the first 2 seconds cause I saw the 4 colors screen popping up after I tried to open sspl-1.16-nike.exe but then the error pops up and it dissapeared.
Yes I waited until the phone was synchronized with ActiveSync.
Backup everything, do a hard reset and try again, this method should work flawless, if it doesnt then there must be some instability coming from your device
Ok I will try as I see its already messed up anyway.
How do I do hard reset ? I know its some sort of pressing some combination of buttons !
P.S : Nevermind, I found out
OK it worked, everything worked fine.
The process reached 100%, the phone restarted and on the PC it gave me Success.
Now what ?
P.S : After the restart the phone entered the Customization mode again, and the Orange stuff started to install again, is that bad ? Does that mean the the hardspl didin't worked ?
turn off the phone and while holding down the camera button, switch it on, that will enter the bootloader and show you hardSpl version..

Alright, that's great, you now have hardSpl installed.
Do you plan on using a different sim card in the phone..? maybe O2 or something, if so you will need to do a CID and security unlock, this is needed for some roms, but not for all of them.
Then lastly you need to flash to a newer radio..
So, first things first, do you plan on using a different SIM..?

Great,
No I don't plan on using another SIM
I think I know the radio version
When I start the phone on the Orange splash screen it shows some numbers, among them there is a line wich says :
R: 1.65.29.22
Is that the radio version ?
Ok so let's continue
Anyway I can't thank you enough for helping me with my phone so....Thanks a lot )
I'm glad to be able to help
I felt the exact same way a week ago..
You Radio is fine, I use the same one, usualy if you see a nice rom, the poster will let you know what Radio and hardSpl you need.
So now, you will flash HardSpl 1.22
Just use the guide I posted, but delete hardspl-1.15mfg-nike.nbh from the "flash-hardspl-niki" directory. Copy hardspl-1.22-nike-shipped.nbh back into it and just follow the instructions from here on...
6. copy sspl-1.16-nike.exe to your device and run it (usb cable must be connected!)
7. after a few seconds "USB" appears on the display
8. unplug and replug the usb cable
9. Then flash the hardspl-1.22-nike-shipped.nbh by running ROMUpdateUtility.exe from flash-hardspl-niki directory
When you're done, report back again and we'll flash your first rom...
You can choose between Windows Mobile 6.1 and 6.5, but most of the 6.5 roms are pretty slow.
You can try this rom, it's brilliant, but based on 6.1

Ok it worked, I started the phone again in boot mode and it shows SPL-1.22.Hard
I really want the new 6.5 version, I have the 6.1 since I bought the phone but I really like the new 6.5 type, the icons, scrollbars and such.
Can you recommend me a very good 6.5 ROM, I really like the slider type desktop, where you have tha phone, calendar, text and you slide the magnifier over the option you want.
That's called manilla or touchflo
That is preinstalled in the rom I linked, along with a bunch of cool things
Try it if you want, but I'll post back in a bit with a link to a 6.5 rom
Or are you talking about Titaniam..?
Link me to a youtube video or something of the one you like..

Nice options and nice effects, but I like the WM 6.5 vertical slide thingy, like in this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jFjPVpyGvsk
I wait for you to recommend a good and clean WM 6.5 ROM
P.S : I didn't know there are different "desktops" available with different names, but I find the one in the above youtube clip very handy and simple, as well as the new menu when you press the Start button.
This one should be what you're after

Whats the difference between the Full and Lite? I want the menu like the Lite has and the keyboard the Full has
I will install Lite and check it out
The Lite version uses Titanium (The one you want)
The Full version uses manilla like the first one you flashed

I have just tried flashing WM6 on to a Friends QTEK 8500, it went wrong Doh!!!.
I had already last Friday put on it the version with non wroking GPRS and this went without issue. I then reflashed my own one with a GRPS working version (went without a problem) and then tried his. I can get it into the boot loader screen but nothing else. I have tried SD card flashing (3 cards) 1x 512MB Card and 2 x 2GB card all formatted as FAT32 with file on the root the phone searches for it but doesnt find it.
Please any advise.

First of all, REMEMBER, your phone is NOT bricked until it goes to BOOTLOADER mode.
Have you made SuperCID before flashing? What firmware are you trying to flash via bootloader mode?

When you say booloader mode what does that look like. At the moment if I reboot the phone I get the HTC Mobility windows by Erofich screen.
When you hold down camera and record button and then power on the device I get brifely the white scrren looking for SD card it then goes to the tri-colour screen and does nothing.
I beleive I have CID it as I did the same on this as I did on mine i.e. ran the unlock according to the sticky.

When you get into bootloader screen by pressing RECORD and CAMERA buttons, then you MUST flash back to the STOCK ROM first. You can't flash any custom WM6 at this point. Only AFTER you have the stock ROM flashed, you can use SDA_ApplicationUnlock.exe to app unlock the phone, and copy the SoftSPL into the phone. Then run SPL.lnk.
To summarize: The built-in bootloader CANNOT flash WM6 and can ONLY flash a stock ROM. Once you go back to stock, you can then try to flash WM6 again. Anytime a flash fails, you must go back to stock first, then try again.

This method works on Cingular ROM only, not Qtek.

Hold CAMERA and RECORD button and press power button. When it goes to Bootloader tricolor mode connect your device to PC and run official Qtek 8500 RUU. Then make a reg (app) unlock:
Download regeditSTG2 which is digitally signed: http://4pda.ru/forum/attach/387522/regeditSTG2.zip
Then install it and change some registry values:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Policies\Policies\00001001 = 2
-> change to 1
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Policies\Policies\00001005 = 16

I have two phones one did work and one did not the one that worked shows version 1.02 on the tri colour screen the one I am having problems with shows 3.06 not sure if this is relevant.
Try removing the battery for about 30-seconds (or just removing the battery cover) and then put it back on. With the phone OFF, hold RECORD and CAMERA and plug in the USB while holding those buttons. It should go to the Bootloader. Run the QTEK RUU immediately after doing that.
If you sit at bootloader very long (more than a minute or so), for some reason it times out and the RUU won't work. It could be that's what's happening.

Tried that a couple of times just to make sure I was doing it correctly it goes into the tri colour screen I pressed the reflash option on the PC 1 second later this then sits there for a minute or so and times out "ERROR [260]" the phone did come on and has a USB in the bottom left corner so I presume the connection to the PC is OK.
I have just re-done mine again using the NEO rom (very nice) to make sure I am not going mad and that I did it correctly and this all went without a hitch.
Is there anyway I can get the phone to boot of a SPL on an SD Card I think if I could do this then I could get it back to 5 and start again.
No, it will only boot off the built-in SPL in ROM.
Did you try using the OEM .nbh file, naming it STARIMG.nbh and putting it on the SD card?

Yes tried that made sure formatted FAT32 etc. I know the SD card is ok because if I take my working phone and run the SPL link with the card in my good phone it finds the file and asks me if i want to reflash it. The non working phone with SPL3.06 does not do this.
You are not alone.
The bad news - the person in the post ended up having to exchange the phone.
It could be there's a bug in 3.06 SPL? Seems to be the case because I've flashed bad ROMs many dozens of times on my Cingular 3125 StarTrek and not once did I have any trouble flashing OEM ROM back on it.
Can I write the flash at a lower level with any tools i.e. pdocwrite or seomthing like that?
I don't believe so. Those programs require an Activesync connection (copies files to the phone). You could try the MTTY method, but I don't know if that works on StarTrek. I think it's some kind of terminal access into the bootloader, but what I've said so far is the extent of my knowledge about it.

I have a similar problem on a 3125 and the phone reports V4.01. I acquired the phone in this condition, so don't know how that came to be. When I try to update via USB, it tells me I need a newer update tool (to match the 4.01, I assume). What error message are you getting when you try to update via USB?
I have been struggling to flash (again) the great pro V2 rom, but I always used my VMWare based XP windows version on my Vista laptop. Today I could use a genuine XP Laptop and I could make a connection and start the upgrade!
Sounds good? That's what I thought too, until the upgrade stopped at 70% (and I didn't touch anything), because of a connection error. I followed the text on my PC screen and I finally it started flashing again for a few seconds and then my startrek suddenly restarted, but it stops at the first splash screen! I tried to get my device back to bootloader mode (push 2 soft buttons and start), but no bootloader mode, only the 1st splash.
I solved the problem.
Thank you for this thread
I tried flashing a new ROM to my i-mate smartflip and thought I had killed it, but going back to the wm5 OEM as suggested on this thread worked and I still have my phone. Now, am I brave enough to try upgrading it to wm6.1 (or even 6.5) again... Once again, many thanks!

Hi guys, I've just tried to unlock my ameo and am stuck at the bootloader screen. I have a wm6 rom downloaded and am trying to put it on however, I cannot work out how to do it. I cannot get a RUU to access my ameo as it isn't active sync'd. can anyone tell me which program to use to get the rom on the machine?
thanks
If all its correct the bootloader should say "SPL1.20 olipro"
at the bottom of the page it should say "serial"when you plug athena in the pc USB port it changes to "USB"
Just download a rom appropriate for SPL1.20 unpack it in a folder in your desktop and click in the installer.
Remember that any memory card you may use has to be taken off the athena before you do anything.
also if bootloader do not say SPL1.20 a rom for SPL1.20 wont work.
Hi PBL, thanks for the response.
I have 1.20 listed and usb at the bottom.
I have downloaded the wm6 file but that is all there is, when you say click on the installer, I don't know what you mean, windows asks what to open the file with. Could you give me a link for a wm6 rom with a downloader?
Cheers for any help, I know how annoying noobie questions can be.
Phil
Have you found it out already or do you still need help?
Help still required!
After using AthenaUnlocker for the first time, your bootloader has been updated to Olinex 1.20 (appearing on your screen), however you still might have no ROM installed. => black screen after resetting your Ameo.
Additionally, your Ameo is still locked for other ROMs (as it was with mine), so no unofficial ROM here might work at first. In your case you need an official Ameo WM6.0 ROM found here , if you already have it, the better.
- (Download the ROM onto your PC),
- be sure that your Ameo is turned on and connected to the PC.
- start the romupdateutility.exe (admin rights on the PC, no SIM-card or mini-disk inserted into the Ameo), accept the warnings and click next, it will tell you your current ROM version and the one to upload, hit next and so on, finally click on update, after a while the status screen on the PC screen will also appear on your Ameo.
- wait until it is done and the Ameo has rebooted and installed
- restart the Athena unlocker and repeat steps 1 to 3
No matter what you do: NEVER disconnect the device from the PC during upload!
Hey will, Just done that, all went well, 100% upload, screen went black, comp says no connection, now I have a red light round the joystick and cannot turn on or get to bootloader!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Any ideas?
Have you updated the T-Mobile-ROM? Did you press the camera-button AND reset button? The Olinex-bootloader screen should appear.
Updated the rom, then it went blank and the red light appeared, now I cannot get the bootloader screen up
wait a minute!!!!!!!!!!!!
SHE LIVES!!!!!!!!!!
Am i right in thinking I now need to do all 3 steps in the unlocker again?
I forgot to tell you the most import rule: Dont panic!
Yes, repeat steps 1-3 from the Unlocker, start with step 1, I will wait for you.
JUST a second: Your device is showing Olinex v1.20 when in bootloader mode AND/OR your 6.0 ROM is starting now, correct??
Cheers Will, The battery is as flat as a fart at the mo, so gonna leave it till the morning. Thanks for your help and I'll post here tomorrow to let you know how I go.
Thanks agin, you're a life saver!
Phil
Glad your Ameo didn't break.
Loading the battery to 90+% is essential as it might break your device during upload.
Remember: after each ROM update (Radio update also etc.) the device will perform a hard-reset, so you have to wait each time until your Ameo has finished installation and has resynced with your PC.
IF AND ONLY IF the ROM itself has been loaded without problems and your Ameo has synced with your PC, then
- proceed with Athena unlocker, repeat step1 => wait for full installation and resync (don't close Athena unlocker) => hit finish-button on PC
- do step 2 (update), then WAIT for reset, full installation, and resync BEFORE proceeding on the PC because
- as for step2 the unlock-program will be copied and started onto the Ameo itself (that is why you have to wait)
- hit OK on the PC (the screen will inform you about the unlock process on the PDA, hit ok if the device is synced and ready), on the PDA you have to accept the installation of the program, hit install?/yes? there and unlock BOTH SIM and CID (=ROM unlocker), so you can use any phone-provider and any unofficial ROM
- finish the installation on your Ameo (hit unlock and afterwards OK etc. somewhere on the screen, I can't remember if it will hard reset again), then
- do step 3 on the PC, the same upload and hard reset and waiting procedure as before.
Done! Now you should be able to use any SIM-card and update any unofficial ROM (v1.2 versions ONLY for the moment, BEWARE!).
Hope this helps for the start.
Sorry I lost track on you pthechemist but will seems to be doing a great job here, as long as you have spl1.20 already installed and follow the procedure, you are pretty safe although it can be a bit scary.
Good luck
Cheers for the help and support guys.
All is now running PERFECTLY!

Hello Everyone!
This is a step by step guide for unlocking the SPL of your HTC P3400 or P3400i.Please read and follow everything given here carefully and you will have your phone unlocked within 15 minutes.
This is a step taken in order to minimize the accidental bricking scenerios happening almost everyday here.
The Guide is divided into 2 Parts, A FAQ section and the Unlocking Guide Section. I request you to please read all of this before doing any furthur steps. ROM Flashing can be very dangerous if not done properly.
Enjoy!
Frequently Asked Questions
FAQ (Frequently Asked Question) Read Carefully Please
Q1. What is the basic information about my phone that i would need to get started with this process or for troubleshooting?
Ans. The basic information that you need is displayed on the white htc splash screen that shows up when you start your phone. This inludes:
ONBL version, SPL version, GSM or Radio version and OS version.
Apart from that, you will also need the serial number of your device. This can be found behind the battery on your device or on one side of the packaging box in which your device came.
An optional thing that may come handy is the version number of your ROM which can be found by going to Start > Settings > System > Device Information. Look for the ROM Version there.
Q2. What is SPL, Why it needs patching, and what are the things i need to keep in mind?
Ans. SPL or Second Program Loader is a part of your phone's firmware. Its responsible for both loading of operating system and it is also used by operating system for some low level tasks. By Default, HTC and Other Manufacturers too, design it in such a way that it does not allows custom ROMs to be flashed in the phone. It does no by checking for the Digital Signature of HTC on roms. So it need to be patched in order to flash custom ROMs made by chefs in this forum.
There are two SPLs available right now for P3400 and P3400i. One is Olipro's SPL for Old Gene and Second is Orefkov's SPL for New Gene. These should be used according to the device they are meant for. Using wrong SPL can make your device dead.
One more thing is, SPL is needed to be updated just once. Only one of the given SPLs will work for you and you will never need to patch it again. This is true for those situations too when you flash a rom and your phone does not boots past the White HTC splash screen. In that case too, As you have just flashed an incompatible ROM, you just need to use another, compatible ROM to get your phone back. NEVER UPDATE YOUR SPL ONCE IT IS PATCHED BY EITHER OF THE METHODS
Q3. How can i be sure which version i need to use, i am not sure whether i have an old gene or new gene?
Ans. Earlier it was being thought that one can differentiate between New Gene and Old Gene on the basis of Onbl and Serial Nos. But this has not found to be true as evident from many cases of bricking.
One of the possible checks for knowing that is if your phone originally came with Windows Mobile 5, its probably an old gene, and If it came with Windows Mobile 6, its probably an New Gene. However, this is also not a concrete basis to decide the version of SPL.
So i recommend to follow these steps, These should work for any Gene without problem.
1. Use the Olipro method first. It will work properly if your device is an old gene.
2. If it fails and your phone becomes dead, just follow the instructions for using Gene Unbricker for new gene and your phone will be back again. This way, your new gene will be flashed with Orefkov's method.
Q4. Are there any precautions that i need to take when selecting a ROM for flashing to my device?
Ans. Yes, there are indeed some things that you need to keep in mind before making mind to flash a ROM.
1. Make sure your SPL is patched, ie. On boot screen it should have either SPL 1.10.Olip displayed in case of an old gene OR SPL 1.07.Oref in case of a new gene. If it is not, patch it using the Guide given below. If it is, dont ever try to patch it again.
2. After patching your SPL you will become sure that whether your phone is a new gene or old, because of knowing the version of SPL that worked for you. Now, never choose a ROM which is not built for your phone. Only use ROMs appropriate for you phone. And if you ever accidently flash a ROM of wrong version, dont panic. Just flash another ROM for your version and your phone will be back.
3. In general, never try to downgrade your ROM. Means if your original ROM was WM 5 and you upgraded to WM 6 or 6.1 Dont try to downgrade to WM5. This is specially true for WM 5 because of reasons i'll explain later.
Q5. Why is it not recommended to downgrade the OS version, ie. moving to a previous ROM version?
Ans. There is no problem actually in doing so. But there are some situations that needs to be taken care of. What happens is, Somtimes, the previous version of Original ROMs from htc, contain the older version of SPL that is very specifically made for that version of ROM.So if you flash this ROM, your SPL will again become locked. This is specially true for original WM 5 ROMs
In case your phone came with WM5 originally, and the version of ROM exactly with the one that was originally on your device, It wont give any problem. But if this ROM is not exactly the version your phone originally came with, this will brick your device and you'll have to take it to service center. No homemade solutions works then.
Even bigger problem arises when your phone came with Wm 6 originally and you try to downgrade it to WM 5. This will certainly brick your device and force you to take it to service center. SO DONT EVER TRY TO DOWNGRADE A GENE TO WM5 IF IT ORIGINALLY CAME WITH WM 6.
ROMs created by users here do not contain the ONBL, SPL and GSM parts (dont worry about the names). These only contain the OS part which is safe to use.
Q6. What are the things i can try if i get a problem while this process?
Ans. You shouldn't get any trouble if you take all the precautions, but even if you do, you can try :
1. If your gene is bricked by Olipro SPL, use the gene unbricker for new gene by Orefkov.
2. If you flashed your phone with a ROM made by some user on this forum and it doesn't works, just flash another version of the ROM or some other compatible ROM. NO need to touch anything else.
3. If you downgraded/Upgraded using any of the Original HTC ROMs and your phone is bricked, try the JTAG Method by Orefkov. Search for it, you'll easily find it. If even that doesn't helps, Take your device to service center.
Q7. What is bootloader mode, and how do i enter it?
Ans. Bootloader mode is a special mode which is use to flash ROMs. Bootloader is the part of your phone's firmware that kicks in even before SPL and initializes it. You may need to enter this mode while patching your SPL or sometimes while flashing a ROM. To do that, Shutdown your phone, Press and Hold the Camera Button and press the power button or the soft reset key using your stylus. This will take you to a 3 colored screen with your Onbl and SPL version displayed on it. This is called the Bootloader mode.
Q8. What is Hard Reset and Soft Reset and how to do it?
Ans. Soft reset is a second name for restarting your phone. It can be done using power button too but sometimes, when the phone is hanged, it needs to be done by pressing the soft reset key, situated in a small hole near the mini usb port you use for charging and headfone, using your stylus. Your phone will restart immediately without any harm. But if you have any unsaved data, like an open, edited word file or a text message half written and not saved, they will be lost. But all your saved data is safe.
Hard reset is something that needs to be done when there is some problem with the phone that is not being solved using any standard method or restarting the phone. This method erases all the files and data in phone memory (not SD card) and makes your phone as it came new from factory or just after a fresh ROM upgrade. You'll loose all your emails, calender items, Todo list, sms, contacts etc. But most of the problems get solved using this. So before using this, backup your PIM data using utilities like PIM Backup by dotfred etc.
To do a hard reset, shutdown your phone, Press and hold the two soft keys (the keys above the call accept and call reject keys) and press the reset button using stylus. A black screen will appear warning you about the consequesnces. Press the Green key (call accept key) to start the process.
The Step By Step Guide
The Step By Step Guide
CAUTION: DO NOT UPDATE ROM OF A PHONE THAT IS SIM LOCKED. THE RESULTS ARE UNKNOWN BUT MOST OF THE TIMES IT PREVENTS YOU FROM USING THE PHONE ANY FURTHUR!!
If you like to backup your existing rom first, follow this guide by Ankit360 to do it : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3215838&postcount=20
Step 1: Download the Tools
-------------------------------
Download the tools zip file from here:
http://www.4shared.com/file/81084740/fa599d63/SPL_Unlocking_Tools.html
Its a self extracting file, just start it and give a path and it will unzip all the files in your chosen folder. Inside the extracted folder you will find these things:
1. SPL Updater : Inside it there are 2 folders, Olipro and Orefkov. These contain the two SPL patchers that we need to use.
2. ROM Update Utility : This contains the ROM update utility we will need to flash a ROM. Unzip it into a folder.
3. USBDriver4ActiveSyncVista : This contains a special driver for Windows Mobile Device Center in Vista that you need to use to successfully update your ROM. Unzip it in a folder too.
4. Download a ROM appropriate for your device: Which one is appropriate, you'll only know after updating your SPL. So do this step after that. But in any case, here is a link to a good ROM, created by me, which is available for both new and old gene:
Sumit's Pro Users ROM (WM 6.1, for new and old gene)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=467796
Step 2: Preparing your phone
--------------------------------
1. Copy the file gene_hspl.exe from the SPL Updater\Olipro folder that you got in step 1 to the phone memory.
2. First, on your phone, Go to Start > Settings > Connections > USB to PC. Here, uncheck the checkbox : enable advance nerwork functionality. Click OK. Disconnect and Reconnect the USB cable to your pc.
Step 3: Prepare your Computer (Please pay attention, this is crucial!)
--------------------------------
XP Users
----------
There is not much you need to do. Just open task manager and kill the Active Sync executable from the processes tab. Its named as wcescomm.exe.
Vista/Windows 7 Users
-------------
You need to take these steps :
1. Go to desktop, right click Computer, and select Manage. Go to Device Manager. Now under the section Mobile Devices, Double Click : Smartphone USB Sync.
2. On the Drivers tab, click "Update Driver..." button. On next screen click : "Browse my computer for driver software".
3. Click : "Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computers". Click "Have Disk.." on next screen. Click "Browse..." and go to the folder extracted in step 1. There, go to USBDriverforActiveSyncVista folder. Here select the file "wceusbsh.inf" and click OK.
4. Click Next and finish the wizard.
NOte : YOU NEED TO DO THIS TO SEE THE "USB" BUTTON IN MTTY WINDOW IN LATER STEPS. DONT SKIP IT!
Step 4: Use the Olipro method first.
-----------------------------------------
Open File manager on your phone. Go to the location on phone memory where you saved gene_hspl.exe. Tap on it to run it. Your phone will restart after a short pause.
Now there are two chances :
a) If its done alright, you'll see SPL 1.10.Olip on your boot screen and your phone will boot just fine. And it confirms that you have an old gene. You do not need to do Step5. Proceed to Step 6.
b) If it doesn't boots, and only green and red keys blink, Don't worry. Your phone is bricked but you'll get it back using orefkov's method in a minute. Proceed to next step. And this confirms that you have a new gene.
Step 5: Use the Orefkov Unlocker
------------------------------------
1. Remove the battery, SIM card and SD Card of your phone and press the Power key for 20 seconds to draw out any residual power from the phone.
2. Replace the battery but not the SIM and SD card, and don't start the phone yet. Press and hold the Camera button and then press the Power button or Soft Reset button. Phone will come to boot loader mode (tricolor screen) and SPL 1.10.Olip will be displayed.
3. Connect the USB cable. The text USB will appear on the bottom of the screen.
4. On PC, go to the folder Orefkov in the folder extracted in step 1 and run the Mtty1_42.exe. Press the button "USB" in the window that opened.
5. In the window that opened, type the following command (don't use copy paste please) and press enter:
Code:
set 32 1
You'll see a response from phone.
6. Type the following command BUT DON'T PRESS ENTER YET:
Code:
ls boot.bin
Note : that is small L and small s in that command, dont mistake it with I.
Now, hold down the Camera button on phone, and press the enter key on computer. After a while, the screen will become White. Continue pressing the Camera button for 10 more seconds.
7. Now release the camera button, close the MTTY program and run ROMUpdateUtility.exe in the same folder, not the one outside it. That one is for RAM flashing that we will use later. Check the boxes in each step and click Next Next and then at last Update. Let it finish the process. Your phone will restart.
8. Now on the splash screen you'll see the info with updated SPL version. The version of SPL will be 1.07.Oref.
Congrats! you have successfully patched your SPL.
Step 6: Flash the ROM
---------------------------
Now let the phone boot once and then shutdown it. Insert your SIM card, but not the SD card. Go to the PC and copy the ROM file (it must be names RUU_Signed.nbh. Rename it if it has some other name.) into the ROM Update Utility folder that is outside the Orefkov and SPL Patcher folder.
Now press and hold the camera button and start your phone to go into the Boot loader mode once again.
Now Run the RomUpdateUtility.exe and follow her instructions. Please make sure that you are not running RomUpdateUtility inside the Orefkov folder in SPL Updater folder. You must use the one outside, in the RomUpdateUtility folder. Your phone will automatically go into bootloader mode and a progress bar will be displayed on both phone and PC. Once it completes, your phone will restart again and you'll get the phone with the brand new ROM.
Step 7 : Set your PC and Phone back to normal
------------------------------------------------
This step is only needed in case you are using Vista.
The driver we updated in Vista will not work for normal active sync operation. So you'll need to set it back to the original version. There are two ways to do that. Either, uninstall and reinstall the Windows Mobile Device Center Or Follow the same procedure gicen in Step 3 but instead on clicking the "Have Disk button", choose the driver from the list already given.
The driver that you need to install can be identified by have a newer version given in front of its name. Also, the newer driver's name includes "Microsoft Corporation" while the older one has only "Microsoft".
You can Put back your SD card now.
On your phone, again go to the Start > Settings > Connections > USB and check the checkbox there and click OK.
That's it! You are Done.

My P3400i SR8XX is OLD or NEW?
Hi! Crazy & Ankit,
I am from Delhi and having P3400i with SR. HT8XXXX, onbl-1.17.000,spl-1.17.000,os-1.8.00.
In the past I have flashed several times of cooked rom by chayn & lomlom without changing to permanent HSPL. It was done by temporary CID unlock method as running jumpsp.exe while pressing and holding Camera+VoiceReco button and flashing. Presently we are using Vista Design build 20270 by Chayn and and still my onbl& spl displays 1.17.000.
Today I tried to flash Ankit M2D rom using previous method, flash completed successfully, device restarted but stuck on boot loader. Then i restore my Gene by RUU_Gene_hTC_Asia_India_1.17.720.1_4.1.13.34_02.79.90_Ship and then flashed Chayn Vista Design 20270 which is working fine.
Please confirm whether my Gene is NEW or OLD as if it were NEW then Ankit's ROM Should work. Sorry for my bad english.
Thanks..........
Yours is an old gene i guess. Using Serial No, ONBL and SPL versions for recognizing your phone as a new or old gene is not reliable. chyan and lomlom's both have provided some excellent roms for both new and old gene so i cant say about that also. But ya, if Ankit's ROM is not working then yours is an old gene, i am 99% sure.
Thanks for your quick response to our query. Further, could you please advise me better ROM for me to Flash.
Also, I have created 1% increment battery dll and tested on my gene which is working fine. Is it possible to include it in your ROM.
@krazy
Oh Boy! Now we have an old Gene (3400i) with 8 series number and 1.17 onbl. Great going HTC !
Guess you have some really busy time coming up.
BTW:
Do you know typing? Better learn it soon .
What to say brother, HTC is just making things difficult, i guess they want to sell the higher end mobiles too. But i dont understand, apart from WinMo 6.1, their higher end mobiles have faster and greater hardware. So how come flashing a gene with WM 6.1 and Manilla 2D can affect their sales? I wont go for a P3400i if i had the money to buy a diamond even if both of them can/already have WM 6.1.
I know typing very well, you might have got some idea from the amount of text i post when i post a new rom I am ready, give it to me baby! Yeah! LOL!

Hey man, its really nice! Love it. Will include it in ROM is some more users gave positive responses, as you know that the ROM is not for somebody alone, its for the community. So will have to take some feedback before including. I'll post it in recommended downloads section in both of my roms. Thanks for it mate

Usage:
Copy dump_gene_os_extrom.exe on your device. Insert SD-card with at least 70 MB free on it. Run copied program. After some time you will see message - Dump complit. On SD-card will be files os.nb and extrom.nb.

u see firmware contain on right
give path Ext. ROM to extrom.nb
OS to os.nb

Hi all
I've had a search through the re-developed ROM's and to be perfectly open, I don't understand much about them.
I recently had a plain HTC HD2 and very happy with it for what I use it for, I don't need any fancy add on's and bits etc, just my Co-pilot and keeping my contacts and notes upto date.
That handset was lost and the insurance didn't have any HD2 replacements in stock. The Desire they sent instead has been sold, and I've purchased a T Mobile version of another HD2.
Is it a simple case of downloading and installing the official HTC ROM for the handset and doing a ROM update?
Apologies if this is a simple query etc!
Cheers, Dennis!
no, no no nonono.
assuming you mean a tmobile us model (1024 rom, green send key) then no, if you flash a non tmous stock rom (any stock rom that isn't for the tmous) onto that phone it will die. brick. dead, because of the ..51.. radio they include.
You may get some cooked roms that are on a base of lower than 2.x, but have been tweaked for the 576ram , and they will work on your phone, but its a very risky game to play.
Far better to follow the two rules..,
only ever flash tmous stock roms,
and
cooked roms that SPECIFICALLY say tmous compatible in the title and post 1 of that roms thread..
Hiya
Samsamuel, thanks for the info there. I'll update with more information! I'm technical, but not with smartphones to the level some of you guys here!
I'm in the UK, and it's a UK TMobile handset that I bought. I've already had the handset 'unlocked' so that I can use my O2 SIM, which is working etc.
From the handset
OS Version - 5.2.21889 (21889.5.0.87)
Manila Version - 2.5.20121429.0
ROM version - 1.72.110.4 (86525) WWE
ROM date - 04/02/10
Radio Version - 2.07.51.22_2
Protocol version - 15.32.50.07U
So, would it be ok to update to the normal HTC ROM?
Cheers, Dennis!
Ah ok in that case there is no need to mention that it is a t mobile phone, just confuses the issue.
Yes the regular update will work fine once happy is applied.
Thanks once again SamSamuel,
However, what's meant by 'once happy is applied' ?
Is that one of these hacks or special ROM things?
When I do a search, so many results come back containing the word 'happy' I have no idea where or what to look for!
Is there a thread which explains how to apply 'happy'?
Apologies for the vagueness!!
Cheers, Dennis!
lol, thats the android spell correction and me not proof reading before i post. should be HSPL
Hiya
To me, anything that's typed up 'could' potentially be what I need to do! I wouldn't know the difference!!
So, I've had a search for HSPL - I see it mentioned, but alas, I have no clue what it is, where to get it from, what to do with it when I get it!
Is there any straightforward points on what and where to get this HSPL, how to use it ?
I know I can download the HTC official ROM from their website, so that part I think I know what to do as I upgraded my last HD2.
Cheers, Dennis!
ok, hspl. Get HSPL2_RUN.zip from HERE, (you can follow instructions that say hspl or hspl3, theyre all the same, except for what phones they support, , hspl2 is teh most usefull for regular hd2 owners)
phone into bootloader and connect usb, (when you read 'get an active sync connection', , forget that, it doesnt mean actual active sync, just a usb connection)
get hspl2, run it, in the dropdown is a list of spl and hspl versions. if it ends .0000 its stock, if it ends .hspl its,,,,,, hspl.
choose 2.08.hspl, follow the prompts. if it doesnt work, run the hspl prog again, if it still doesnt work (timeout/connection errors) change usb ports and try again. no need to touch teh phone, just leave it in bootloader all the time.
once bootloader says spl 2.08.hspl you are good to go.
BUT
if you are planning to flash the 3.14 rom, , , you can't do it this way.
3.14 wont work on any spl/hspl except 3.03.0000 and there is no way to get 3.03.0000 except goldcard.
Hiya
Samsamuel - seems you're the only one willing to help me here! so I really appreciate it !
I know i've got to do 'things' from what you've said there, but I have no idea on how to do it! - give me some financial IT related stuff I'm good! ask me to do bootloaders and potential goldcard and run files and connect - I'm lost! I don't want to try things in case I 'brick' the handset!
The ROM I want is listed on the HTC downloads section for the HD2. It's dated 25th January 2010
Details are
ROM Version:
Norway:1.66.409.1, Spain :1.66.412.1, Denmark:1.66.403.1, France :1.66.406.1,
Sweden:1.66.413.2, Italy:1.66.408.1, WWE:1.66.405.2, France Bouygues: 1.66.483.0
So, if I somehow manage to do this HSPL thing, will I not be able to install the HTC ROM? I have no idea where or what the '3.14' ROM is?
Apologies for sounding really vague - I've never got into all the modified ROM's and stuff for smartphones. I've only ever needed to switch on, use the phone, install my GPS software and keep my contacts and notes syncronised. I'm just used to the HD2 I had as it was a case of straightforward use. This T mobile version is 'different'!
Anyone else able to help alongside everything SamSamuel has kindly provided so far? please?!!
Cheers, Dennis!
warning
Its best for you if you do not try to update your phone. Either get used to it or just sell it. There are rom update tutorials on this site. Just search for rom update tutorial, if you must try. The official htc software is not for this phone, if you install it, your phone will no longer work, and you wont be able to fix it.
No, its ok so long as you have a regular hd2 locked to t mobile as discussed in earlier posts.
Just to double confirm, if your phone has green send key,then STOP DANGER
But I think we're dealing with white send key, so normal hd2, and the target Tom isn't 3.14
So,,,
assuming white end key.
Phone backed up and off
Press hold keep holding volume down
Tap and release power keep holding volume down
When striped coloured screen appears
Plug in USB
On PC run hspl2
In dropdown choose 2.08.hspl
When it completes and phone starts to reboot immediately hold volume down again to return to stripey screen (bootloader)
When says USB at the bottom and split at top says 2.08.hspl run the .exe you downloaded from HTC
If you get connection errors, timeouts, leave the phone and just swap USB ports. When running hspl.exe right click it and "run as administrator"
(That's the last time I'm gonna write those out in full, there must be 500 identical step by steps and half as many YouTube vids. )
If your send key is green DO NOT DO THIS
Hi Guys^^
I'm quite new to all this flashing stuff and spent the last week trying to figure this out but it seems I'm missing something.
I've got a O2 xda star (niki300) phone with a 1.58.16.27 radio (i think) and spl 1.16. I wanted to install a new rom and choose the Salvy.C83 V3.3 3g 20 Keys since it seemed to be one of the newest(correct me if I'm wrong).
It says that hardspl and a 1.65 radio is needed so i downloaded hardspl1.22-nike-shipped and the official rom linked in the wiki where the 1.65 radio seems to be included.
-I connect my phone (without sim and sd)
-and run the Nike CustomRUU
-It's starts quite normal but when the progress bar is shown (at 0% to be exact) I get to hear the disconnecting and connecting sounds of windows and some moments later the setup is aborted because of connection issues.
This problem occurs everytime at the exact same moment so I guess it can't be a broken cable...
I'd be very glad if you could tell me what I'm doing wrong or at least share some ideas of what I could try with me
Thank you in advance

you'd better try again to update the Hard SPL and use HardSPL v.1.15 ~ http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=355730
with hard SPL that you can flash any rom and make CID, Security Unlocker too
thanks for the answer but sadly it doesn't change a thing
I run this UpdateRomUtility from flash-uspl but it gives me the same connection error (i think it lost connection as the phone went into 4 color mode, but I could be wrong)
Or is there another way to install this?
are you sure have followed all the directions given jockyw ??
What OS are you using on your computer??
have you deactivated anti- virus program or firewall on the PC before doing the flash HardSPL ??
sorry not my intention to return to ask, but I want you to more thorough and more detailed in discussing a problem so that you succeed in overcoming
I'm using Windows 7 64 bit Professional
about the instructions, I tried two different ways:
1. Connect my switched on phone. Then run the RomupdateUtility from flash-uspl-niki. (gives the Connection issue)
2. Do the steps with the sspl first. I put the sspl in the root directory of my phone and execute it through my phone. It goes in color - mode then USB is written on the screen ->I unplug and replug my usb cable->nothing changes. Running the Romupdateutility doesn't work because it says it isn't connected.
windows firewall is switched off
will test again with antivir also deactivated
