You havent unchecked the "Enable Advance Network Functionality" checkbox in Start->Settings->Connections->Usb2PC on your phone. Check that, connect your phone, the device will show up.

Problem after flashing

Hi Crazy_about_technology,

First of all Thank you for this step by step guide for new beginners like me.

I upgraded my SPL. Mine is new GENE. Using Orefkov method.

1. After that I could not find the file "ruu_signed.nbh" file in "Romupdateutility" folder.

2. So I downloaded (I dont know whether that is correct file for my device) to this folder.

3. Then I connected my p3400i to computer using bootloader mode. But the RomUpdateUtility was not detecting my connection. I think here there is a mistake in this guide.

4. So I used Oreflkov method(after the white screen comes used RUU) .....but used the RomUdateUtility in "RomUpdateUtility" folder with downloaded "ruu_signed.nbh" file.

5. My upload was sucessful. But after that the mobile is not booting up.

It is hanging on first screen itself....showing HTC and OS...SPL versions...thats is.

Can you please help me on this? My phone is not usable now.

Hi dears!

hi i am aarish from new delhi, I flashed custom roms to my Wizard(K-Jam), prophet and Kaiser (TyTNII) manytimes successfully, Now I want to flash a custom rom to my brothers Gene.Thats why I am here. It have wm6 and as u said that it doesn't confirm that it is a new or old gene,

I used very easy hard spl methods in other phone so I want to know about an easy method to unlock my brothers phone, coz he living in dehradun and I instruct him through mobile.

Can i use direct oref method or first try olipro's

can u suggest me a fast 6.5 rom without M2D I want HTC Home

Thanx and regards

[P3400 ROM Development] Addicted2xda:
Well, technically the method is pretty easy, if your phone is not bricked with olipro method, then you can go ahead flashing with any custom ROM you like, but if it gets bricked that means you have a new Gene and hence you need to proceed further and walk the whole nine yards.

That has been my experience so far since I have unlocked both old and new Gene.

Best of Luck :)
[P3400 ROM Development] thinman873:
hey, thanks. I followed your instructions, and they were really simple, and have been able to upgrade my gene. Now it looks and works much better. thanks once again.

[P3400 ROM Development] thinman873:
Hey @krazy, i have flashed my gene with your prouser's rom. Is it ok if I flash it with your vanillamanila rom? or do i need to do something else first?

BTW, your prousers rom is great, everything works fine, and smoother than the original wm 5. thanks.
[P3400 ROM Development] krazy_about_technology:
NO there is nothing you need to do to flash VanillaManila or any WM 6.5 roms even. Just make sure the roms you flash are cooked/created by the users of XDA and not official roms by HTC/Dopod. And No WM5 now, dont even try it.
[P3400 ROM Development] thinman873:

hey @krazy, thanks for your prompt reply. i'll be flashing the vanillamanila today. do u recommend wm 6.5, or is that too resource hungry?
[P3400 ROM Development] thinman873:
i have flashed my gene with sumit's prouser wm6.1 rom. i want to try and flash his wm6.5. does it work well on gene?

[P3400 ROM Development] iliyas10:
re

Im getting ONBL 1.17.0000

spl 1.17.0000

Ive also tried the geneimg.nbh putting it on sd-card but it said "Invalid certificates" press any key to continue.

and also copied the gene_hspl_HT8x on the phone memory and executed 4rm device,it gave me an error "Unknown version of spl.HSPL fail". It looks like my device is locked somewhere.
[P3400 ROM Development] deepv84:
use this to confirm what u have

i think u have old gene if that tool confirms that means u have to use olip method.
[P3400 ROM Development] iliyas10:
I guess I have new Gene.
[P3400 ROM Development] deepv84:
yes u have a new gene
[P3400 ROM Development] iliyas10:
so what do I do next.plz help me patching spl.
[P3400 ROM Development] deepv84:
buddy just follow instructions

first patch with olip method after that ur phone will be bricked

after that use gene unbricker.

and u r done.
[P3400 ROM Development] iliyas10:
actually i was about to do thru dat Method but i was thinking dat as I already know thats its new gene so I directly went to the oref's method.so i have togo thru the whole process.Ok then i'll do it and tell u the results.
[P3400 ROM Development] karan999:

Guys am stuck plzz help

FLASHING ROM

am in step 5 my ph is on tricolour mode and i c these

ONBL 1.17.0000

spl 1.10.olip

i have connected to the PC and i c USB in the bottom of the screen..!!

now its confirmed that my gene in a new one

now i go to orefkov folder and click on myyt1_42.exe and i get a window nw as u guys siad "click on "usb" and type in those codes... wer is that usb button??

should i jus click on ok?
[P3400 ROM Development] karan999:
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.

then you will find the USB option in Mtty.

Also, i doubt whether its a new gene.did your phone restart in step2 ? if it did, then its an old gene.please recheck.follow the instructions carefully.

@ Sumit,

Just for a few seconds, consider yourself the DUMBEST NOOB on XDA and update the ROM uograding steps here.try to inculcate the dumbest ideas one can get/imagine while upgrading and according to that, please kindly update the thread.

big brick

hi all nice to be back but with same problem as before,

onbl 1.07.0000

spl 1.07.oref

this is all at the boot-loader tri color screen i also have the usb at the bottom left. and RUU at the top right.

I think i need to un-brick is that right, i have tried to use Orefkov tools but when i place set 32 1 code it give me an error and cant get any further!

HELP PLEASS

p.s i think i have a new gene as that was that i got to work when i tried to do something that got me into this situation! also using windows 7 at the moment.i do get some time using ROMUpdateUtility with all the roms i downloaded as are as the progress bar but then it gives me a 240 erro!

thanks guys
[P3400 ROM Development] karan999:
if you have windows7 64bit, the RUU may or may not work.for example,with some devices like the HTC Touch Diamond,the RUU works fine.

Otherwise,you can restart your device.Go to USB to PC and keep your device in Active sync mode.

Always your device should be in Active sync mode while flashing.Read the Guide properly while flashing.yes,you have a new gene(since it did not reboot in step2 or in other words got bricked).
[P3400 ROM Development] Vitor Jose:
Big Brick II

I almost can get the unbrick going it dose the set 32 1 command but at the end i gives me an error and then the gene gets a white screen and staies there

[P3400 ROM Development] krazy_about_technology:

Also, thanks to KARANZ_ULTIMATE... WM 6.5 ROM.. workin fine..

Appreciate all you guyz at the forum!!

God bless u..

one more thing,, i ve backuped my original 6.00 rom by using orefkov and htc rom tool,,,i flashed my rom with sumit's pro 6.5rom.its working fine,,but ,it shows only 12-16 mb free memory!! and, In future, is it possible to switch back my original backup 6.00 rom if i want? is it safe?

thanks,,
[P3400 ROM Development] ani@p3400i:
Wow!!! that is one of the most elaborate tutorials I have seen in a long time.

Gr8 work Krazy.

BTW, will upgrading void my warranty?!

Asking this since, I am planning to buy a P3400i.

Also if it will void my warranty, is it possible to get the "TouchFlo" w/o flashing a new rom into my device.
[P3400 ROM Development] krazy_about_technology:
Thanks :) Yes it will void your warranty completly. I dont know about it, but some people have successfully used JumpSPL to upgrade their Gene. If you can find it out, and then work it out, your warranty will be saved. There is also a method of backing up the original SPL for using later, but i cannot find it.

Anyways, yes its theoretically possible to install manilla 2D or touchflo without flashing rom, but practically it makes device so slow that its unusable. Heres why: On default ROM, you mostly have 10-14 MB of RAM free and manilla will take 4-5 MB of it so you are left with very little RAM to run anything else. Plus the phone memory available on default ROM is around 35 MB out of which 13 MB will be taken by Manilla and that leaves you with very less phone mem also. Apart from that, the phone will become dead slow and unresponsive. so practically.... :) u know what.
[P3400 ROM Development] ani@p3400i:
Ok thanks!!!

I think i will stick to the default ROM for a few months till I am ready to upgrade my gene.

Am sure till than you guys would have come up something better.
[P3400 ROM Development] krazy_about_technology:
Ya, for first 6 months, i wont recommend to flash your phone, as in that time you can test it for hardware stability. After that, choice is yours. As regarding your thoughts about coing up with something better, that will always happen so dont think that by waiting you will get the best, its never the best, its called evolution ;)
[P3400 ROM Development] sunnyjob85:
Need Help desperately... Noob here!

I went as far seeing the Tricoloured screen on my HTC 3400i, in the red section it reads ONBL 1.17.0000

SPL 1.10. Olip

When I run the mtty1_42 in the Orefkov Folder on my PC, it pops up a window which says "Open Port Setting", What must I do next? As of now I see that my PPC will remain bricked until someone helps me out....

Please help me out guys, I would really appreciate it fellows!

Thanks in advance!
[P3400 ROM Development] krazy_about_technology:
Why dont you read the guide buddy, it has everything explained. You have to press the USB button on that screen and if its not appearing then you must first install the drivers for activesync in vista, which is explained in prepration section. I think you didn't bother reading the full thread and jumped straight to the flashing part :o

err man i read all frst from last....i dont want to take risk bcz my mobile 3 days old ...so plz tell:(

and i readingposts from abt 10:30 wer i can gene unbrikker?i am notable to find it..

plz i am new..so i hav less knowledge
[P3400 ROM Development] krazy_about_technology:
If you have read it from "first to last" then you must have read that there is not real way to tell about an old or new gene. This doesn't matter if you are not going to flash a custom ROM. And if you are going to flash anyways, just follow the steps. If yours is an old gene, the process will be successful at the step where you install Olipro SPL and that will confirm you have an old gene. If it fails and your device bricks, it will be a new gene and can be unbricked by Orefkov method in furthur steps. I bet you haven't read the tutorial from "beginning to end" otherwise you would not have asked this ;)

The risk is always there if you are a newbie about the WinMO OS, and if you fear that risk, dont upgrade your rom. This is not for faint hearted :)

BTW mostly devices with ONBL and SPL at 1.17.000 are new gene, but that is just an assumption. One of my friend from this forum having same info as you on his phone had discovered it to be an old gene.
[P3400 ROM Development] amolji:
ya thanks:p..i read and plz can u explain me wat is opal dialer and default dialer..

plz dont be angry on me:D i am a 15yr old kid:p sorry i am asking 2 many questions:(
[P3400 ROM Development] krazy_about_technology:
A phone dialer is the software that you use to use the device as a phone, ie. you dial numbers using it, calls are received by it etc, i mean, look it this way, what you have in your hand is not a phone, its a pocket pc with added phone functionality. Thats why you dont see phone functions all the time. When you activate the phone application or dialer, you are provided with an onscreen keypad to dial numbers and this is the software that handles other things related to phone.

Now Windows Mobile OS comes with a default dialer itself which is not so pretty. But Windows Mobile also provides the ability to skin this dialer completely and get a fresh new look and optionally some added functionality. Opal is the internal name of a phone called HTC Touch Viva like our P3400 and P3400i are known as Gene. I have used the dialer extracted from that phone in the Pro Users ROM. This dialer provides a pretty dialer with an full screen photo and video call notifier and a in-call screen with curtain so that the onscreen buttons dont get pressed by your cheeks while you are talking :) This dialer is good but takes more memory and some people dont prefer it. So i gave a choice between the two.
[P3400 ROM Development] krazy_about_technology:
There are many other 15 year olds here, for example KidNamedAlbert, who not only learnt a lot but started contributing to this forum with their apps, roms, themes etc, so age is not an excuse for noobishness :) anyways, for genuine help requests, everybody will help you, thats for sure. So enjoy your stay here! :)
