PDA Noob needs some help :) - P3600 Software Upgrading

Hi there,
I found this forum, it seems great !
Just ordered today a HTC 3600. I would like to enable the GPS radio
I have read many of the threads posted here, I have some difficulty understand most of the terms. I searched for a glossary or alike in the website with no luck, can anyone give me a quick start?
I know the phone is not SIM locked.
But what is CID and Super CID, how does it affect me?
What is SSPL ?
I ordered the english version, is that WWE?
What is ExtROM ?
Sorry for the stupid questions (more to come)
Thanks again.

One thing at a time mate,
1st starting tomorrow 2/4/2007 you will be able to download a GPS enabled rom from the official HTC europe site (www.htceurope.com) .
2ndWWE stands for World Wide English and its the language your rom is written in ,since your's is English you'l have no problem in installing the GPS rom from HTC and you will have no warranty issues.
3rd SSPL is a program developed by Pof which enables devices to be flashed with a different rom from that which their CID supports.
4th CID is a type of lock which HTC puts on its devices to stop people from changing for instance WWE devices to FRE,English to French.
5th The Sim/Cid lock can be permanently removed by using pofs unlocker but you will lose your warranty .
If i were you i'd either dowload the WWE Gps enabled rom youl find in this link
http://rapidshare.com/files/22908060...8_GPS.exe.html
and run it from my pc after first having charged the PPc battery 100% removed the sim card and synched to my computer using active sync.
Or wait until 2/4/2007 and download the HTC rom from the Htc site both roms are identical,its up to you.

In that case: Please correct the link!

Yes, the English ROM is in English and the Swedish ROM is Swedish.
The first poster asked if the WWE ROM is english. WWE stands for World Wide English, thats why!

English ROM for 1.06.0 bootloader

Hi,
Bought my P3600 from MG&C but it came with a German ROM - none of the ROMs in the wiki will update it as they stop at 1% then the device reboots...i know other people have had the same issue.
This is where HTC could use a bit of common sense and allow us to download an English ROM directly from them as our suppliers are not providing English ROMs.
I got a letter from MG&C with the following instructions:
You bought a new HTC smartphone. We are sorry to tell you, that the update wont work just in time. So we couldn't do it for you.
Please connect to the FTP Server of xda-developers, to download your English ROM and install it. Any assistance you can also find on www.xda-developers.com
If you need to CID unlock your device for uploading your language, please use the service of www.imei-check.co.uk (if you have to pay any fees there, we will charge it back to you)

and on and on it goes - unfortunately imei-check don't offer an unlock service for the trinity... so where does that leave us?

Which latest ROM for GPS and HOW to flash it ???

Pardon my ignorance but I am confused with so much technical info here. Loads of ROMs , radio roms, RUU, SSPL, NBH .... etc etc etc.
I have got HTC P3600, original, unlocked to any network, bought in UK from expansys. So not sure whether it got CID lock or not but certainly not locked to any network / no sim lock.
I want to know:
1. Which is the latest GPS enabled ROM available TODAY, which I can use to flash my device ? (where language remains English!! and bass or other bugs solved, if possible)
2. Is there a way to find out before flashing that whether device is CID locked or not? and whether it needs to be unlocked before flashing.
3. How to flash ROM ? Kindly, I need step by step guidance from A to Z.
Which files to download, which to execute first and basically everything you need to do in order to flash gps enabled rom.
I will be much obliged for this help and guidance.
Thanks.

Hello ausdim and everyone else,
I've also got an HTC P3600 and I bought mine from a shop and it came SIM unlocked. Do you think my P3600 is CID unlocked? and this rom http://rapidshare.com/files/21139137... p.exe%7C which you have suggested dr_s to download, what is it? Is it an HTC Rom?
Would appreciate any help.
Thanks.
i'm really confused on the roms
ok, here's are my simple questions
1. is the ROM RUU_Trinity_HTC_WWE_1.23.800.2_6275_1.38.00.11_Ship.exe and official ROM (e.g., is it a test ROM from HTC)?
2. I have an unlocked P3600; do i need to CID unlock to flash with the RUU_Trinity_HTC_WWE_1.23.800.2_6275_1.38.00.11_Ship.exe ROM.
4. i understand that the rom
LVSW_RUU_Trinity_HTC_WWE_1.23.800.2_6275_1.38.00.11 is a cooked ROM. Yes or No? What are the benefits of using this ROM.
thanks to anyone who answers my questions. i've flashed ROMS before and [like others] i don't want to brick my lovely device.

I believe that this is the same ROM as the "ship" version you asked about.
I have tried both the Dopod ROM as well as the "ship" ROM, and my preference was to stay with the Dopod ROM. The green dialer skin did not apeal to me, and I had some other issues that I don't remeber at this time. The official Dopod ROM, however, (especially after being patched with Pof's radio update), has been great!
Swisscom branded Trinity has GPS and tomtom preinstalled...
May be I am late to update this..
For some days I am not following this forum but just got an update from a shop locally here and thought of adding my information.
Trinity
link here : http://www.swisscom.com/onlineshop/...andys&opn=O&sku=000000000000121030&lang=en-GB
swisscom Mobile Assistant XPA v1510
+ 1GB card
+ tomtom 6 alpine maps included user will only need to activate the maps.
At attractive price of CHF 999.
Looking at history of Swisscom devices, they are not locked. However, since all have unlok solution availbale, this will not matter.
I hope this helps trinity community..
just not note : I do not own this else I would have loved help others.

Hello Iceman67,
I have made it !
Go to XDA-Wiki download Rom eng (i have taken RUU_Trinity_HTC_WWE_1_1_.23.405.2_103_6275_1.38.00.11_108_GPS.exe as i guess it is the good one), download also your original rom (in case you need to fall back) plus a small app SSPL-TRIN to trick the device.
It is quit simple but it could not work at first time.
Here it works only at the second time... but it it work

Hi Yonixxx
The ROM in WWE gave me error 294 Invalid Vendor ID and the SSPL-TRIN I don't know how to use it, can you tell me how to do that?

Put the SSPL-TRIN app on your phone, run it, then run the RUU.

Official WM6 spotted!

See the HTC WM6 Answers topic for more info, but i just flashed my Herald to a dutch WM6 ROM!
ftp://210.136.175.150/romcode/RomCode/HERALD-C9
There they are.
Is it true or a fake ?
I don't want to brick my device !
Another question: is your phone SuperCID ? Thx for answers !
I just flashed it, its the real thing, check the other thread for more information if you dont trust it
I just checked on the other thread and it seems to be real. I saw the information on a french forum (cause I'm french)
I just got my Wing and it has Mobile 6 should I dump and post? Or do enough people have it out there already
Enough people have plus we've already started making custom roms. Plus there Tmobile RUU is out so the official tmobile rom is out, plus the official herald is out. What a glorious month! lol
Finally - thanks
He man,
thanks a lot. I can finally try to unbrick my Dutch P4350. Many many thanks (I can't get the Rom from the official e-club site yet)
thanks my phone is ALIVE
I love you
Not working for O2 Terra!!!
Vendor-ID error and yes i took the german one!
I uploaded on rapidshare WM6 RUU WWE

So, where are some of these custom roms? :-D
This worked for my dutch Herald! It's unbricked now and working smooth, thank you very much for this, now i don't have to send it to HTC repaircenter!
anyone have a english version ? i'v tried to download it from the htc eclub. it says to choose your handset from the list and language then download but doesn't give you the list.
I contacted HTC and they said the amount of people who have registered on the eclub just for that download and messed everything up. so don't know what's happening ?
Now all we need is a way to CID unlock our T-Mobile wings. . .
Anybody know the cost of doing it through imeicheck?
Purchase HTC Herald (Vodafone VPA Compact IV, HTC P4350,T-Mobile Wing) Unlocker Key for GBP 20.00
(apx. EUR 28.00 / USD 38.00)
from: http://www.imei-check.com/heraldunlock.php
English version worked great. No problems
I'm so f*cking mad now My device is at HTC Reapair Centre now
edit: Hell yes! Yust called a friend at the repair centre and my phone is coming back from HTC today
Let the cooking BEGIN

hey guys!! i need the official upgrade for my device henever i go through the htc website they say this software is not suitable for your device, can somebody give me the direct link, heres my device serial number (S/N) :HT823GN22600
Hi guys I am looking for any compatible rom that is English. I have Diamond unit with Spanish ROM on it. I need English compatible ROM. I tried one from mediafire link above but installer gave me error saying invalid vendor id. I guess I can't just install any it needs to be specific carrier or vendor.
Here is info from about:
version: 1.93.476.3 ESN
Data 09/02/08
version 1.00.25.08
version 52.33a.25.17H
I really don't know anything about this unit I do not see any carrier markings on the box or start up screen , it looks like unbranded unit made for Spain may be. If possible provide direct link to rom I can use or may be some advice where I can look.
Thank you !

Thank you very much for your reply. Unfortunately I tried several roms that I thought are English and all of them showed me "INVALID VENDOR" error. is there anyway you can specify ROM I can use with my unit, if you not sure what I have to begin with I'd be more than happy to provide any info needed to identify unit I have.
Hard spl and you can install whatever rom u want....
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=416211
....
CID lock (aka vendor lock): put on your device by the manufacturer to prevent installation of a ROM not released by them.
HardSPL: This modified bootloader allows a much safer flashing process to take place since it reduces the chance of permenently bricking your device. It also removes the need to CID Unlock the device since it ALWAYS reports SuperCID when flashing. See the official thread for more info.
