You will lose all saved data such as word documents etc that are saved on the actual device. If you have them saved on the Storage Card they will be OK.

You will also lose all / any customisations you have made as well as all contacts, sms, mms and e-mails.

As for Programs, they will be re-loaded depending on the ROM you choose.

Make sure you check out the main page of whichever ROM you decide on first to see what programs are included.

It may pay you to install PIMbackup or some other backup software and back-up anything you really cannot afford to lose to the Storage Card....BEFORE you flash anything.

OK Rob

I have been through all the posts and done quite a bit af searching and reading. Now I don't know if this is going to work or not but it is worth a try. This is based around an XP system so I would try it on xp first, Vista has its own set of problems together with WMDC.

Your problem appears to be more aligned to an activesync problem than anything else. I would suggest uninstalling activesync and restarting your computer. Plug your phone in and it should load drivers for it. Then re-install active sync 4.5.

Turn off any Firewalls and Virus protection (you may want to disconnect from the internet while you do this) and connect your phone. Don't sync it, just allow it to connect without syncing so you can explore the phone.

Now try running Olipro's Hard SPL, remember it will show a failure on the first try. Disconnect your phone but leave it in bootloader. Close the HardSPL loader and re-start it. connect your phone back to the USB cable (it should change from serial to usb) now try to load it again.

Hopefully it will work.

Let me know what the outcome is, with any luck you will be able to flash radios and full ROMs.

Cheers

Thought I'd post this up for those having trouble flashing their HTC p3600i.

As suspected by demon83ft, I believe there is 2 versions of the HTC p3600i, or possibly that some people may have purchased the CHT 9110 which has a p3600i covering? (Based on what demon83ft said to me :P)

Anyways, the reason I believe there are 2 versions is because I bought 2 HTC p3600i off ebay

- The first one I bought could not be flashed at all, I kept getting the 270 error

- Fortunately I was able to return this one, due to seller errors

- The second one I bought was flashed easily, and went according to what was mentioned on the first post of this thread. I am now on the 317i TNYSTD ROM with radio 1.56 with this phone, running fine!

I believe that the first phone I purchased was originally purchased from asia.

The second phone that I purchased was originally purchased from the '3' network in Australia.

There were 2 main differences which I found between the 2 phones (I had both at the same time, but now I returned the first phone):

- 1. the wall charger was very different, the second phone had a smaller charger: the wall charger on the second phone could be plugged vertically, whereas for the first phone, it had to be plugged horizontally

- 2. the port on the bottom of the second phone (the flashable one) is dark grey; where as the port on the bottom of the first phone (unflashable one) was silver

Perhaps those who could flash their phone, confirm these differences?

Flash P3600i with rom in Spanish

Hello friends. First I want to thank people like joncgde2 efforts to be able to flash the P3600i. I have a P3600i and so far not been able to flash, as it always gave me an error, but now, thanks to the tutorial on this page I could do it. Now I YK version 3.11 and it works perfectly.

My problem is that I am Spanish (as verified by my English, jejeje) and still can not use the Spanish versions such as the NIAX. I wonder if anyone can explain how to do companion. The error appears to me is the photo. If you know something, please explain me. Thank you very much. Greetings.

Since I have upgraded my 3600i to;

MARY V3.7.1 ROM

1.56.70.11 Radio

I have been unable to get 3G (called NextG by my phone company Telstra in Australia). I am only able to get Edge.

Any ideas from anyone?

[P3600 Software Upgrading] Andych:
NextG runs on 850 mhz and their 3G (shared with 3) runs on 2100 mhz. You should have a look through the band settings and leave it in auto.

I only ran Mary for a week or 2 but was always on 3G (I am with 3).

Hello everybody. I have a P3600i with 3.11 YK working perfectly. Until a few days ago had not been able to change my P3600i, but thanks to the tutorial joncgde2, I could do it.

The problem I have is that I am Spanish and I would like to install a rom in my language, such as NIAX, FAMAN ,.... But I get the following error. I wonder if there is a way to change the roms NIAX, FAMAN, ... available for the Trinity (P3600) to suit my P3600i. If anyone knows how to do so, please explain to me go through the steps. Thank you very much. Greetings.

[P3600 Software Upgrading] Andych:
Unfortunately not all ROM's work when changing the header. If you are getting to the first splash screen (as your post suggests) and it hangs there then these ROM's will not work on the P3600i.

I do not have any other ideas unfortunately, other than running one of the WWE ROMs that are known to work.

I am finding that with the latest Radio my PDA freezes up necessitating a reboot and reinstall of the backup I have on my SD. Ths is ocurring daily. I think I might back off to the earlier Radio 1.46

As I do not use Windoze on my PC I need the radio files to install from SD. Can someone direct me to where I can find them? When I rtry to install from an .exe file on the PDA I get the usual "this is not avalid Windows mobile app" warning.

I am using the 317iTNYSTD ROM which I find great as it allows HSDPA on the Telstra NextG network which I coudn't get with the Mary ROM.

Fail to HardSPL for my P3600i in Vista

I found the solution, I am now using WM 6.5

info : since my WM and Vista are Chinese version, some terms may not correct

I am using Vista SP1 32bit

and I tried to following below steps to update driver

http://trinityguides.info/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=20&Itemid=66

however, in my "Device Manager", "HTC USB Sync" doesn't exist

it only have "Windows Mobile-based device"

I tried to "Update Driver Software" for "Windows Mobile-based device" but my Vista don't allow me to do.

Therefore, I direct HardSPL (Des' Crash-Proof SPL) by following below link

http://trinityguides.info/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=39&Itemid=66

Unfortunately, when HardSPL start, my mobile will close the connection (similar to press power button and back light closed) and my P3600i will hang.

P.S. I double checked power option is not allow to close device when using external power.

Is there anything I am missing?

Rollback SPL (Downgrade)

Dear All Teachers,

I followed everything on the first page, done well no problem.

But now I need to rollback this TRIN100(P3600i) to the MTF SPL.

Seems like this "SPL-3.20. Olipro" is locked and cannot be replace, since I've been trying to rollback(downgrade) to HSPL 1.3 Olipro, HSPL 1.2 Olipro, and SPL 1.2, but unsuccessful for "4 Days". I did search and read in many many threads.

Kindly give me a hand ;) Please!

Reboot problem (error 270) when flashing

I just manage to flash the Hard SPL, Radio and ROM after 4-5 days of error.

Problem I encounter was that my P3600i reboot itself every time I try to flash the Hard SPL.

Tried bootstrap mode, kill activesync service (rapimgr.exe,wcescomm.exe) and other method I read in this forum to no avail.

Solution I found that activesync sync process need to be set to sync manually.

Connect ur P3600i, Activesync [Tools > Option > Setting]

for Windows PC; untick Synchronize Pocket.....

for Microsoft Exchange; untick Save Password

You should easily flash.

Just note this since I didn't find anybody posting this solution.

I managed to recover the text portion via the "WayBack" machine at Internet Archive (next post)

I am still in the process of rebuilding this guide (need to re-capture images) but I have replaced the all Radio and SPL links with the correct P3600i versions.

When I am done, if someone wants to rebuild the original Trinity version (keeping the Trinity Radio & SPL links) they are welcome to recycle my images. :)
[P3600 Software Upgrading] the.decoy:
STEP 1 - Back Up Your Data​

the first step before any flash is doing a backup of your data, passwords, and registration information. If you are flashing a new Radio or SPL you will not lose your data in a flash; but if you are flashing a ROM upgrade then you will lose all data on your device. However, regardless of what you're flashing it's recommended to backup just in case.

This will lead you through the major steps of backing up the data on your device. For automated backup/restore you can use the following programs (i will post a detailed guide for them in the future)

PIM backup (backup/restore SMS, MMS, e-mail, contacts, calendar, tasks, call history and more)

Settings Saviour (backup/restore preferences, settings, auto install cab files & xml on restore)

It is NOT recommended to use backup software such as Sprite backup to do a full backup/ restore when changing ROMs.

to manually backup your data, proceed with the following:

1) Back up your owner information

Open the start menu and click on "settings"

click on "owner information".

Image Missing

You will see a screen like the following:

Image Missing

copy down the owner information exactly, as some software registration codes are linked to this info.

2) Write down your Device ID

Click on 'Settings' in the Start Menu.

Select the 'System' tab, and click on 'About'

Image Missing

Select the 'Device ID' tab

Image Missing

Write down your Device name.

3) Back up program registration information

make sure you have copied down all of your program registration information, so that you can re-register your programs after upgrading your ROM

don't forget to write down any program configuration settings as well.

4) Back up documents/data

Sync your device with your PC, but just to be sure open the activesync window and click 'explore' and copy the my documents folder from your device to your desktop

5) Back up your operator settings

Write down your GPRS, WAP, MMS settings etc, as well as any other connection or e-mail settings you have.

You should now be ready to upgrade your device​
[P3600 Software Upgrading] the.decoy:
Step 2 - Upgrade to Hard SPL

​

Hard SPL will allow you to flash cooked ROMs without SuperCID’ing your device and also will

protect your device from being bricked in a bad flash

. If a bad flash occurs it should remain in bootloader, and you can re-flash another ROM.​

Before you proceed, check which SPL is on your device. Manually enter the Bootloader by pressing the Power button, Camera button and performing a soft reset at the same time. If your SPL is 3.20.Olipro then you already have Hard-SPL on your device and can skip this step and proceed to upgrade your ROM or radio.

1. Download the Hard-SPL for P3600i (do NOT use any of the Hard-SPL's for Trinity/DoPod)

Hard SPL 3.20.Olipro (P3600i HardSPL v1.1)

2. Unzip the Files, and click on ‘ROMUpdateUtility.exe’

Image Missing

3. Check the checkbox, and click ‘next’

Image Missing

4. Follow the directions in the window, and establish an activesync connection with your device

Make sure the activesync icon is be green (finished synchronizing)

Make sure your battery is charged

Image Missing

5. Check the checkbox, click ‘next’

Image Missing

6. In the next window, click the ‘Update’ button

This will show the version number of the ROM, radio, or in this case bootloader that you are about to flash.

Image Missing

7. After the version number has appeared, click next

Image Missing

8. In the following window, click ‘next’

after you click this, the flash will begin, so do not disconnect your device or do anything stupid on your computer

Image Missing

!NOTE! (quoted straight from Jon's post on first page)

WHEN FLASHING HARDSPL, IT WON'T WORK THE FIRST TIME - YOU WILL GET AN ERROR (CODE 260). THIS IS EXPECTED.

9. A Progress bar will appear on your computer screen, and your trinity will display a grey screen with progress bar. Be patient while your device is being updated.

Image Missing

Image Missing

10. Once your device is finished updating, it will automatically soft reset. Click the ‘Finish’ button to exit the RUU program.

Image Missing

To confirm is Hard-SPL is on your device, manually enter Bootloader by pressing the Power button, Camera button and performing a soft reset at the same time. If successful you will see the tri-colour screen and the following will be displayed

Hard SPL 3.20.Olipro (P3600i HardSPL v1.1)

CONGRATULATIONS!! You have now installed Hard-SPL on your device!!​
[P3600 Software Upgrading] the.decoy:
Step 3 - Upgrade Radio (optional)

note: Most cooked ROM’s do not contain a Radio upgrade, while most if not all official ROM upgrades do. You will not lose any data on a Radio upgrade like you will with a ROM upgrade, so you don’t have to worry about backing up and reinstalling everything if you are only upgrading your radio

Make sure you have Hard-SPL installed on your device before flashing a new Radio, as this will give you some protection in case of a bad flash. Instructions can be found here .

1. Download the radio that you would like, and unzip the files to a new folder:

(P3600i) Radio 1.56.70.11

2. Manually enter Bootloader by pressing the Power button, Camera button and performing a soft reset at the same time.

This will allow your device to use the Hard-SPL instead of the SSPL that usually is pushed to your device by the RUU.

If successful you will see the tri-colour screen and the following will be displayed

Hard SPL 3.20.Olipro (P3600i HardSPL v1.1)

3. Connect your device to your computer via USB

4. Open the folder where you unzipped the files and click on ‘ROMUpdateUtility.exe’

Image Missing

5. Check the checkbox, and click ‘next’

Image Missing

6. Because you are already connected in Bootloader mode (tri-color screen), ignore the instructions in the following screen about connecting via activesync

make sure your battery is charged

Image Missing

7. Check the checkbox, click ‘next’

Image Missing

8. In the next window, click the ‘Update’ button

This will show the version number of the Radio that you are about to flash.

Image Missing

9. After the version number has appeared, click next

Image Missing

10. In the following window, click ‘next’

after you click this, the flash will begin, so do not disconnect your device or do anything stupid on your computer

Image Missing

11. A Progress bar will appear on your computer screen, and your trinity will display a grey screen with progress bar. Be patient while your device is being updated.

Image Missing

Image Missing

Flashing a new Radio takes the longest, so don't worry if the update process seems to be slow

12. Once your device is finished updating, it will automatically soft reset. Click the ‘Finish’ button to exit the RUU program.

Image Missing

CONGRATULATIONS!! You have now installed a new Radio on your device!!​
