HTC 3600 and Dopod WM6 - P3600 Software Upgrading

did someone tried the dopod wm6 rom on an HTC 3600?
Thanks

I did.
Works very well for me. No bug at all. I'm happy with it.

what about the fix time of the GPS?
any changes in speed of the whole system?
and the battery life time?
Thanks

I've upgraded my P3600 to WM6 (Australian ROM)
GPS - First detection is slow IMHO. After that it runs great.
Changes in speed - No changes so far I have noticed, in other words it still runs fast
Battery life - Is great depending on your usage. Just disable your infrared. That alone makes a lot of difference.

Where did you get the image ROM?
What is the difference between DOPOD and HTC Australian ROM?
Thanks

Does it matter where I got it from?.. Or do you want to know where you can get it?..

I do not know what and if there is a difference is between DOPOD and HTC Australian ROM.
I just know that the ROM I used didn't have customized DOPOD screenlogo's/programs etc installed AND that I have only one issue since running this ROM but I think it's WM6 related:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=318013

All the OFFICIAL ROMs providing wm6 for trinity, so far, are from Dopod, including the rapidshare link above.
This is why it's called: 'D810' and not HTC P3600 in the link.
You may notice very few Dopod's customization, but it's still a ROM from Dopod, you can see, for instance, some Dopod's ringtones in the alarms and ring lists.
As far as the localized operator settings are concerned, I can't tell, since I did not install their extended ROM, I don't have any either, except for the ring tones I just mentioned before.
Regarding the new ROM performances, I think it has increased a lot from the previous April wm5 release from HTC: faster, better look etc.
The GPS is a little bit faster, but not much faster, but I think it has more to do with the new radio.
For example I could not get any fix with the 1.46.00.01 one from SEA. But it works quite well with the 1.46.20.01, from ANZ.
The most impressive improvement is the wifi connexion, which is stable, and fast. (it was a disaster with previous radios, especially the 1.38.x series.

Just to make myself more clear:
1)
I know all the trinity ROMs are made by HTC. What I meant is not 'made by Dopod' but, branded, designed for Dopod.
2)
I have read here before that wifi has nothing to do with radio but just with the ROM itself. I don't know, but what I can tell is that, the previous wm5 plus 1.38/1.41 radio series had always given me poor wifi performance.
But wm6 with 1.46. series is perfect in terms of wifi perfs.

At last do you think that flashing with an official ROM (Asian or Australian doesn't matter) i will not have any king of strange problem like with the wm6 coocked roms?
I want wm6 but i want all the features work on the device too.
Thanks for your patience, but i'm going to buy my HTC p3600 nad i will do only if i can have a perfectly working WM6 device with working GPS.
Thanks

No, there are no garantees.

Since there are no garantees there is a choice to be made. The P3600 is still unique in his features. It's the ONLY Window Mobile based PDA with 3G enabled and GPS onboard.
And what you do want to consider is that even if HTC releases a WM6 for Europe, there are no garantees that the ROM won't have any flauds.

Exactly, there is never 100% garantee to be fully satisfied and get no default or bug. This is why the reseller is there to offer you a one year garantee, so if you fancy the specs of the device go for it.
I don't want to start any debate about which programmers have more skills and more time to do proper job.
Individual ROM cooks are amazing and none of us will ever reach their skill levels, and they do it for free, just for the pleasure of sharing with us, so we owe them the greatest respect for that.
But obviously , after having tried both, I confirm that there are less conflicts and bugs in the official ROM than in the cooked ones.
Also because they take more risks by adapting applications that where not designed for the device (ex: touchflo and kaiser interfaces in trinity)
But I do believe that new cooked ROM from now on will be far more reliable than they were in before (wm6 ones), mainly because they now have a stable basis (the official dopod release) to make their own developments on.
So the difference might be slighter and slighter in those respects.

Explicit instructions for a dummy
Does this ROM update go as easy as the GPS unlock update?
I've done ROM updates that made you go through several activities and I just screw them up.
I'm looking for the simple version.
Jerry

Tried this and no luck
I have an HTC branded and unlocked P3600
I got this error:
Error 294 - Invalid Vendor ID
This update utility cannot be used for your PDA Phone.
Ideas?

No, it is not as easy as the GPS update ROM, and cannot be compare as you just experienced it because:
- it's not a HTC release, it's a DOPOD release, aiming at Dopod D810 clients, from South-east Asia and Australia-New-zealand.
- the ROM is heavy protected by its SPL to not install onto other CID devices.
- The previous Hard-spl crack doesn't work anymore and if you try to install it: luckily u'll get an error it will refuse to install, unluckily, it will get stuck in the middle of the install and you might even brick your device.
That's why you could not manage to install it. There are plenty of topics over this issue on this forum, you can try one of those workarounds, but take all responsibility if something unlucky happens during the upgrade process.
By the way: SIM unlocked, doesn't mean CID unlock, you can install any SIM card you want from any provider, but your phone's CID still belong to a language, a geographical area, and a manufacturer, which is HTC, not DOPOD ;-)

Come on guys...
read and use your brain..!!
Use this SPL:

and flash this rom. works for me like a charme. I've an normal HTC P3600 German Version - no special unlock.

no chance without spl bla bla stuff?
i just want to excute and install :-(

that is it..
read the link I gave you. it is very simple.
copy this file to your pocketpc and execute it! works in 10seconds..

I clearly should do more reading before attempting this
Well, from you link, i can see that the boot unlocker works but i can't get back to my device because it's stuck in a boot loader rainbow screen.
How do i get it back to the OS?

I told you so...
1)
Don't think it's easy and simple, every one got different skills and experience and you don't help the noobies by saying "flashing a SPL protected ROM is 'easy and simple, just use your brain'...
Better being warned of the worst, if you want to do your best...
2)
There is a sticky thread in this forum about 'how to unbrick or unstuck you phone after having failed to flash the Dopod's ROM.
Read it CAREFULLY and try it out.
3)
Next time you try, use Olibro SPL or, more simple and safe for beginners, try to flash a ROM without SPL/IPL.

can you give more info on where you're stuck? (what is shown on bootloader screen). i'm assuming you've tried a soft reset to exit bootloader...
it's not that hard to flash a rom, the official dopod wm6 included. follow the guide here which will allow you to flash it without the new spl. it's still recommended to flash hard spl before a ROM flash to be safe.

Going back to an older ROM

Okay I am a newbie and I installed the Mr Clean rom which is fine but how would I install the previous rom I had witch was the one from the HTC website? Basically all I am tring to do is change my splash screen and I have no idea how but I want the old rom but it doesn't seem to want to let me roll it back.
OK newbie, try searching the forum for your solutions first - you will be surprised what you might find. :wink: This took me less than a minute to locate.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=52768
Basicly Faria has put together a bunch of different splash screens which will install in exactly the same fashion as a new ROM would. As it only loads a new slpash screen you will not lose any data. You will also be able to keep the Mr. Clean ROM but have a different splash screen. There are at least 2 HTC splashes listed and the one that I had a quick look at has a preview so you can see which one you prefare before you do the install.
Enjoy...
But is it possible to go back to an older/different rom once you install Mr Clean rom? I currently have a K-jam running the lattest rom, and was thinking about trying Mr Clean rom just to see how it behaves. The only think stopping me is what if I don't like it! Would it be possible to revert back to my current rom?
Can't see any reason why it shouldn't work. As far as I know none of the home cooked ROMs available on the forum have a function that does a compare between the existing and intended ROM versions and prevents any downgrading.
As to whether you will like the newer version, it is hard to see why you wouldn't. Mr Clean's version is spot on if you want the latest OS, the best Radio ROM and a very light extended ROM and with you changing your splash screen to one you like you should be sorted. All you need is to install whatever cab files you need for performance tweaks or network settings.

Well it doesn't! :S Once you use Mr Clean rom you can not go back to the official Kjam rom! My only problem with the Mr Clean rom is that there is somewhat increased consumption compared to the rom I had before! Oh well! I guess I'll just have to get used to it!

Why can't you go back? I've run every ROM sumitter has released. Over the weekend I installed the Mr. Clean ROM . Put on the PDA Mobiz version yesterday. I just went back to the original Cingular 1.08 successfully this morning to double-check this response. IPL, SPL, GSM and OS reflecting changes each time. Now I'm going "back" to sumitter's test2. If you unlocked you SID/sim initially you shouldn't have any problems regarding this. faria documented the procedure back in April.
(yes I love flashing my phone)
I can't believe that the Kjam is that different.....

Well I must have done something wrong then as my SPL is stack at 2.24! I can use the downgrade rom but then can not upgrage to anything but mr clean!
Well I must have done something wrong then as my SPL is stack at 2.24! I can use the downgrade rom but then can not upgrage to anything but mr clean!
First you need to download and install Button's 1.05 at ftp://xda:[email protected]__RUU_Wizard_1050412_WWE_101_11210_WWE.exe . Make sure to allow the extended ROM's to execute. All problems solved as Pinhead said.

Flashing to WM06 - newbie questions

Hi all,
sorry for the newbie question but I'm thinking about upgrading my Trinity to WM06 and wondered if anoyone could answer some basic questions as I'm a bit confusted (... not that techie I'm afraid)
1. As my device is a SIM free, non network attached HTC P3600, do I need to do any of this "Hard-SPL" upgrading before selecting a ROM
2. is there a simple step - by - step flashing guide for newbies like me anywhere
3. Do the ROMs provided here enable SDHC for the device. I want to use higher capacity mini SD cards - this is a really important requirement
4. I love the inbuilt GPS and Tom Tom solution - are there any issues with GPS/Tom tom support in the upgrades
Many thanks in advance

Hey there, coe62!
I'm not a techie myself, but have just recently flashed my Trinity for the first time to WM6, so most of your questions were mine also. Here:
1. yes. From what I understood, also protects your device from a bad flash helping you recovering it (as far as I know, there are three of them: OliPro's HardSPL 1.30, OliPro's HardSPL 1.20 and Des' Crash Proof SPL)
2. http://www.trinityguides.info (thanks to racerx_)
3. some of the do, some of them don't, check here for details: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1635483&postcount=5
4. using iGo, so I can't tell!
Best of luck!
iGo
hi tnyynt,
i've seen u are using iGo, and also seen the small flag in the corner....so let me say first "salutari". as i'm new user of a trinity and have the german wm5 (my german sucks), i will flash it to wm6 english but i don't know if iGo is working with wm6. is it iGo os dependant?
thks!

Hey there!
YES, iGo works very well on both WM5 and WM6. I had it with the stock WM5 and now using it with a cooked WM6, it works great on both operating systems.

hi there
Am as a newbie as well, lately i've been tried flashing pretty man ROMS over Trinity Windows Mobile Section 6, and find out some ROMs are really good, smoothness, fast and damn good performance, or you can try Mary(latest ROMs). Personally, after trying cooked ROMs, i found Only _AX3L_WM6_WWE_v3.1.2c FULL & LITE (25-10-07)
This ROM is simply an edited version of the Official DOPOD's ROM (lastest released version!) for the Trinity work on my DopdD810, what i mean is with this ROM i can get connected with Internet, but rest of other ROMS don't, i've no idea Why, i am from Hong Kong, somebody has idea due to connection to the internet??
Ok, due to my bad understanding which SDHC would be most suited for my device? As i read about
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1635483&postcount=5
for ROMs flashing i follow the instructions, so far without serious errors happened, i'd to thank all of you, no matter newbies, seniors, moderators...
hi!
that's great, thanks. hopefuly i'll have time in week-end to play around and flash it!
numai bine!
Well i use this thread to post some of my questions...
i get my p3600 tomorrow and i'm very excited, so i want to flash the WM6 from bepe.
1. is there any way to backup the factory-flashed rom?
2. do i lose the warranty if i flash the device? is there a workaround?
3. I've read a few threads but i cant get an idea whats this hard spl for?
4. is it possible to reset the p3600 to factory default so may i can get warranty if somethings fails?
thanks for the replies..
Hi guys,
I want to upgrade my phone to one the WM6 roms available in here.
I just wanted to ask will the sms / email / mms settings stay once the new ROM has been flashed.
If not where can i find them to write them down.
Thanks in advance.
no, they will be erased...
take a look at the trinity upgrade guide on trinityguides.info which will take you step by step through flashing your ROM (backup, hard spl, flash ROM, restore, etc)
Erase the ROM before installing?
I heard it's better to erase the ROM before installing a new one.
A kind of a 'super' eraser to clean deply the ROM. Have you heard of any of such a program/utility?
Thanks

jerpelea is KING!
Hey jerpelea. Thanks so much for getting this out, I loaded it up as soon as I got home Friday night. Observations so far:-
Pros:-
-Very fast loading, much faster than latest WM6.0 out for Mteor
-Very fast running, including loading apps.
-Visually, complete makeover. Much happier with this Today screen than any plugin I've seen.
-All software attempted to far works fine- Route66, Google Maps, Skype (as well as it does on the mteor anyway!).
Issues:-
-msn messenger not installed, however Today screen expects that it is there. When selecting to sign in from Today screen, it comes up with a connectivity issue immediately, however no connectivity issue exists. I can install WLM seperately, but would be ideal to have the sign in from the Today screen as intended. Also when I've installed the latest WLM, there is a strange issue where I cannot do backspace- the 'back' key does not delete text and move the cursor backwards. Makes MSN virtually unuseable for me.
-Phone intermittently does not resume from standby- is frozen. It is still flashing to say that it's on and connected, however no buttons will revive it- the only way to revive is to remove battery and reboot. When phone restarts new messages and emails come in- leads me to believe phone was frozen.
-Phone intermittently wakes up for no reason- have had the phone sitting next to me for a night, and it lights up brightly at random intervals.
I am blown away with this release- it's made my Dopod 595 my favourite phone to carry again, over my Hermes and Asus Halley. A few issues to be resolved obviously, but it's exciting that we're getting such recent builds of WM6 for our Mteor's.
Keep up the great work, holding my breath for the A3 release!!!
does it work with dopod 595 variants with forward facing camera? and also, can you please point us to SuperCID unlock guide? thanks

It sure does work with the 595, albeit with the issues mentioned in my previous post. I'm honestly not sure about the front-facing camera, hadn't tried it yet. Will try tonight and advise.
In terms of getting around the CID issues, there will be 3 registry edits you will need to make (need to copy regedit to phone and run to make changes), and also a piece of software to application unlock. This will make your phone Application Unlocked.
You then put Des' SSPL on the phone, run it and immediately press the power and camera buttons. It will then start with the special SSPL, which gets you around the CID locking. You can in theory update via the update software (RUU) after this, however I have always upgraded via putting the rom onto the memory card as "BREEIMG.NBH". There is packaging software that will allow you to put your own choice of radio, rom, splash-screen's etc together.
In terms of the SSPL process, this is very well documented on the forum. Just take a look. I would not attempt the SuperCID process suggested- which involves loading the Hermes unlock tool to the phone. The hardware may be the same, however the command to enter the bootloader is not, I have bricked my Dopod 595 TWICE doing this- both times having the board replaced (under warranty luckily!). Up to you to attempt if you like- however I just don't see that it's really worth it until there is a dedicated and foolproof process.
Remember that these rom upgrades don't include the radio upgrade- so if you are upgrading your firmware for the first time, best to flash the most recent HTC WM5 upgrade first (incl. radio 1.38.x). Or an extracted Hermes radio rom. Just ensure it includes HSPDA.
If it's your first upgrade, and you don't like the idea of upgrading many times, I'd perhaps wait until a more final WM6.1 for Mteor is released (perhaps A3 or a RC).
I'm far from an expert, but have played with these, and my Hermes a lot. If I can perhaps answer anything else, please let me know...

you sound pretty much like a guru here.. it will be very helpful if you can provide the links to the documentation of the CID, SSPL, ROM, or anything relevant here. i know i can do a search, but my 595 is out of warranty and it wouldnt want to risk killing the phone with the wrong process or procedure.. unlike the startrek thread, the superCID and unlocking process are well pointed(links) and explained in the ROM update packages. i find that Breeze's threads are a bit fragmented here..
so if it's not too much of trouble, maybe you can start a new thread explaining the unlocking, CID, SSPL, and Radio upgrades in detail. im sure the admin will make this useful thread sticky for nobs (like me). cheers.
have you looked into wiki?! there are many infos...
CID Unlocking isnt researched sofar that you can use it without starting the sspl from a running device... so that means theres no HARD SSPL yet...
and i think there would never be..
i have tested to flash devs sspl but it didn't worked...
i'm also on the side that the mteor is a smartphone thats not really widly in use... so theres no big community behind they develope!
DEv has done so much with his sspl...
and with wm6 and wm6.1 yet i think thats much more i have ever imaginaryed!
thank you again! but i still do not run rom Kitchen.
is it possible to put in the neo-plugin today app from the mteor wm6.0 roms?

Some questions

Hi!
After installing the HTC Toupad on my Kaiser, I have experienced big problems. Letters on the Keyboard (QWASYX) didn't work and even the onscreen keyboard didn't recognized these letters. So I decided to uninstall the application. But now I have other problems with my Kaiser and so I decided to Hardreset my device. But before I do this, I want to upgrade my Kaiser to WM6.1 and update it to the newest ROM/Radio.
Now I have some questions relating to that.
As a result that I am a Super Moderator in another forum I know that it is bugging if people don't read the Wiki/FAQs. I have read them, but I don't understand many things :-|
I have handled it to unlock my device, but when I was reading about updating to WM6.1, I saw only things like: "... works only with 6.1", update this, update that, and I don't know in which order.
First of all: Could anyone explain me how to update my Kaiser to WM6.1 and the newest Radio?
Secondly: What is this Duty FW? Is it a modified Rom with added apps?
Finally: I have a normal Kaiser. Not a Vario III, AT&T or something like that. Just the austrian version of the Kaiser with no brandings and so it would be good to have a Firmware without any brandings.
Thx in advance.
BTW:
ROM version: 1.56.405.5
Radio version: 1.27.12.11
Oh, I have forgotten one thing: Is it possible to change the LED blinking in the Phone Mode? To change it from green to blue?
The letter problem you were having was a simple fix with a cab that can be found all across this forum. All the ROM's can be found in the ROM Development forum and as far as what has been changed, modified, added, programs list, can all be found in the FIRST or SECOND post of each of the ROM's. So you will just have to read through them and find one that suits you best as they all have something different. Most of the radio's that can only be used on 6.1 ROM's will say "Will only work on 6.1 ROM's". And I would like to add even though you don't have at&t DON'T FLASH THE 1.65.17.10 RADIO.

You need to make sure before you flash a rom on to your kaiser that you flash hardspl - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=334679, and than after successfully installing that you can flash the rom of your choice. Please read the first sticky thread under the kiaser rom development form - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=369282; it has all the info you need pretaining to everything involved when it comes to flashing your kaiser. I strongly recommend you go through it and read the posts it points to that are relevant to flashing.
Once you have done that it is pretty simple process; just do yourself the huge favor and don't flash until you have flashed hardspl or you will brick your phone.
If its still a mystery I would start here http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Kaiser#ROMx20.Upgrading
No pun intended.
@thesire
I have already installed HardSPL. Otherwise I couldn't have unlocked my device with this method: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=361039
I have used just the Sim Unlocker Method. Not the Kaiser SIM/CID Unlocker & Changer
That's the reason, why my mobile phone is now with an english language
Just one important question: Do I have to change my current radio for the new Duty Release?
@KDKobes
Why shouldn't I flash THE 1.65.17.10 RADIO?
Some ROM's come with radio's some don't. Most of Dutty's ROM's come with radio's, but if you want to keep your radio then I would suggest finding a ROM without a radio in it or making sure yours is compatible with the WM 6.1 and reflash it back. The 1.65.17.10 radio will lock your phone to that radio only and you will not be able to change it until somebody can fix it. Alot of people are stuck with that radio now and can't change.

[ROM] Can anyone tell the difference(s) btw 1.19 & 1.56

i saw a few post for the 1.56, and i visited the official site and found that there was really a 1.56 hardware upgrade.
did anyone install it and feel it?
can tell the difference?
as the title~~ some screen shot will be great
have a nice one
No difference)))just numbers)))
WiFi conectivity improveents?
For those of us that have intermittent WiFi connectivity issues; has anyone noticed any improvements connecting to hotspots after installing the new ROM?

Not my credits, it was posted earlier by another user. But it's not all about the numbers. Drivers, xip, os as well as packages changed.
I told you)))just different numbers))))

Well, take a look at nk.exe and the other parts in the xip. Run a diff with an hexeditor. Change in offsets. Also the os changed. Run a diff on 1.19 and 1.56. Also the drivers changed. So I guess it's not only the numbers. But show me if I am wrong
OK)))XIP,SYS and OEM all cookers always change it doesn't matter which version is it)))
Only few different drivers...You cannot use it without new SPL or you have to flash through USPL...But again)))numbers)))(size is a numbers,versions are numbers too))))
im still arguing if i should flash to new ROM 1.56. onkolog said no diff. just number changed. and i read the rom_diff, it showed many new version in ROM. so im gonna test the new ROM 1.56 (miri's v7.2 standard without manila) and will report the feel IMO. i hope this new ROM is better
Why)))you not understand one thing)))All cookers change OEM,SYS and XIP to newest always)))In ROM 1.56 old OEM,SYS and XIP...They don't use it...That why no difference between these ROMs...
Miri use OEM,SYS and XIP from Topaz and Rhodium and me too...and where is new ROM 1.56)))it's gone)))
Or if you change few files to newest it means you have new ROM?)))I don't think so...
The original poster was comparing stock roms

Sorry I don't understand. I use the xip's OEMXIPKernel part from 1.56, some new drivers and packages from the 1.56 rom. Indeed not sure if hTC fixed some issues in these components but we will find out. Enlighten me
That what I told...You and other cookers just use few new things from new ROM 1.56, but users think you use all ROM 1.56...They don't understand you correctly...That why I told no difference...only numbers)))
GPS
GPS is indeed faster to find a fix, but something odd I have noticed is that TomTom 7 doesn't say I am connected to any satellites, yet it has found my location and works perfectly fine otherwise...
Opera (Internet Browser)
With the old ROM, opera would always be slow to load up and after quitting the application the phone would screw up somehow, either it becomming sluggish or crashing or getting a 'dont send' error. In this new ROM, it is much faster to load up and quit, however, it is still kind of buggy for me and sometimes crashes. Its still not stable (in my opinion).
Battery Life
Regarding battery life, I haven't seen much of a difference. If anything I would have to say this ROM has got a bit better battery life but nothing much, its negliable.
In General
The new ROM in general is slightly faster, but only by a small amount. Some people wouldn't probably even notice this speed difference because it is so small.
Worth Upgrading?
Depends. If you use GPS a lot then this could be for you. But soon people will probably start cooking with this as the base ROM so you will get these features and more anyway. Also it can be risky upgrading to this ROM, with it being HardSPL incompatible and having its own SPL embedded. If you have the time and patience, then theres no reason why not to upgrade.

Cool, thanks for telling that.
for my experience, TTom works well in my 1.19, so.....
i think i should let my device stay the same way she did
just numbers... well your right evan data is just numbers 1010111001001 but they can they can make a differance. 1.56 has updated os ect which a good **** can easaly better but theees also the updated spl with some firmware w for the new drivers ect now the divers and spl arnt gona b bettered by a cook only incorpirated only a proramer, developer, someone who knows the languages ect could mess with thouse. im hoping olinex will hack the new spl for us soon which whould make it esy to flash 1.56 coocked roms.
as i said new drivers and firmware which includes new drivers and firmware for the graphics. im hoping htc have given us heardware acceleration but time will tell. a better base to start from will always give you a better reault and sone of the guys here work wonders so lets hope and see what happens.
