[P3400 ROM Development] karan999:
there are many ROMS available on the Gene forum.See for what suites the best for u.Some ROMS just are good in looks,some in performance and some in both.

After flashing 2-3 ROMS you'll get an idea how your device performs to both W.M.6.1 as well as 6.5 operating systems.

If you are looking for a good stable durable performance, go for W.M.6.1 ROMS.

if you want to try something really new,you can experiment with the W.M.6.5 roms available here.

download the ROM of your choice and flash !

[P3400 ROM Development] deepv84:
if u didn't tried to update yet ,and it is stuck on boot-loader then

first hard reset once and then ur device will boot normally.

when it gets working u can follow krazy_about_technology's guide.

best of luck!
[P3400 ROM Development] krazy_about_technology:
If ONBL and SPL are at 1.17.000 then most probably you have tried something wrong. Can you explain all the steps that you have performed yet? Give as much details as possible.

RUU provided not working.

hello.... i want a help. i have the same problem as many people have. i had tried to update my HTC P3400i S/N: 85XXXXXX with the roms and set ups and procedures as given in this link

now i have got stuck in boot loader screen with three colour showing ONBL 1.17.0000 and SPL 1.10 olip and USB written at bottom when my device is connected to pc. when i use the rom updater utility (RUU) it shows error 300 which means i cannot update using this RUU. has my device got any problem? or it is with the RUU. is there any alternative to RUU programme? and is my device dead? can HTC service center repair this? at this point now i am getting confused wherther my gene is old or new one. igues it is an old one. i may say that if it was a new one it may have not shown SPL 1.10. olip on its screen. i had done it with gene_hspl.exe found on above post. pls help me out fast i cannot use my mobile and i do not have any alternative for it.. im getting dead.
[P3400 ROM Development] akshay2000:
Hello. I'm facing a problem with my new gene. I can't go by Orefkov method. After I see white screen and run ROMUpdateUtility.exe, nothing happens, just nothing. The RUU doesn't run at all. Any way for unbriking, please quick.
[P3400 ROM Development] akshay2000:
How did you patch to oref? Mine one remains at whitescreen with Olip.
[P3400 ROM Development] marcelotorres:
Maybe this means that you haven't a New Gene, you have a old Gene.

Did you tried this:

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.

??
[P3400 ROM Development] akshay2000:
Obviously, I have a new gene. Only after running gene_hspl.exe, my device has bricked. Now, I'm supposed to do the things and then run ROMUpdateUtility.exe from the Orefkov folder, right? Problem is Utility doesn't run at all. Nothing happens. Screen remains blank white. PC remains Idle. No new process is seen.
[P3400 ROM Development] swanak:
press your camera button and soft rest button with power button. this will load your phone in boot loader mood with SPL 1.10. olip . try and let me know.
[P3400 ROM Development] abrarali55:
hey guys thanx for alll ur information,i used it and believe i got windows 6.5 version
[P3400 ROM Development] akshay2000:
Hey, I'm not dumb. I've done all the things and got olip displayed on the boot loader. Problem is, when I follow orefkov's method, the ROMUpdateUtility.exe doesn't work. Nothing happens after running it.
[P3400 ROM Development] swanak:
what problem does it show? does it show any error number? make sure that you have .NET framework 3.5 and Visual C++ 2008 redistributable installed in your PC. follow all the step carefully one after another. Go to task manager and kill the process called "wesscecom.exe". and then run RUU .
[P3400 ROM Development] akshay2000:
Sorry for being rude a bit and thanks for a quick reply. You see, I was a bit annoyed to see my Gene dead.

And the RUU shows nothing. No problem to sort out. Just nothing happens. So, it feels like a dead end. No error code or nothing. Not even a new process. I've followed the steps. Only thing, I need to check .NET framework and Visual C++ 2008 redistributable. Thanks, keep helping. I'll write after checking the two things.
[P3400 ROM Development] karan999:
follow the steps properly as listed in the ROM guide.look for the results.

if your gene reboots after patching the Hspl,that means its an Old Gene.

if it goes dead while patching the hspl,that means its a New Gene.

if you are using windows 7 32/64 bit,do not forget to install the necessary drivers,see the ROM guide carefully for complete info.

you need to go right click on my computer>right click manage>double click device manager.mobile devices and load the driver as per shown in the Guide.

As far as the RUU problem you had earlier,try downloading the tools again,install .NET Framework 3.5 and Visual Redistributable 2008 and the follow the ROM guide.

if you are a windows xp user,there is no need of installing drivers.

if you are finding problem in MTTY(locating USB option in the drop down list),go to task manager and delete the process wescecomm.exe and you'l find the USB option in the frop down list.
[P3400 ROM Development] swanak:
its ok.... try these things out and follow what karan 999 is saying.....
[P3400 ROM Development] akshay2000:
I have already followed the steps. The device is definitely new Gene. On boot loader screen, I see SPL as OLIP as I've flashed it with Olip. Now, I am supposed to flash that small ruu_signed.nbh which will replace the Olip with Oref, right. To do it, I've followed the steps and got white screen after communicating with command 'ls boot.bin'. I've taken care that I keep pressed the camera button. So, next step is run ROMUpdateUtility.exe to replace Olip with Oref. But the problem is the file ROMUpdateUtility.exe doesn't work. It behaves as if I am double clicking empty area! I use Windows XP service pack 2. Logged in as Administrator. Have installed Visual runtime and .NET Framework. Still no RUU.exe works. Even after redownload.
[P3400 ROM Development] karan999:
__________________________________________________________________________

Now what im not understanding is,if your phone showed Olip in step 4 and has rebooted,that menas its an OLD GENE and you have to proceed to Step 6 and not to do the MTTY process.

You have already patched your HSPL.
[P3400 ROM Development] akshay2000:
This is where you people are are taking me wrong. See, I could see Olip in bootloader mode, i.e. the tricolor screen. My phone didn't reboot in step 4. Just screen was off and buttons blinked. So, this confirms that it is a new gene. So, I have proceeded to next steps. Did MTTY process. Now, I get white screen after performing MTTY process. Now, I'm supposed to run RUU.exe. It doesn't work.

Still, if you suggest that its an old gene, I've tried jumping to the step 6. That RUU.exe too doesn't work. Problem is not with my device but the RUU thing. How do I make it work?
[P3400 ROM Development] karan999:
Ok so its confirmed now that its an New Gene.now run the RUU in the same folder of MTTY.after following the steps and all,you'll have your HSPL successfully patched.

Just by getting thw white screen,you haven't patched your HSPL.

After successfully patching your HSPL,then run the RUU from the other folder and update to any ROM you wish to.

If you still have problems doing so,try it at your friends place.If you have confirmed it that its an New Gene,never flash an old gene rom.
[P3400 ROM Development] akshay2000:
I understand what do you mean. RUU doesn't run. Only option left is to try on another PC, maybe on vista. No RUU runs at my PC.
[P3400 ROM Development] karan999:
i did suggest you the same before.try it on your friends' place or your work place.still,xp is the best for all the work on xda.

[P3400 ROM Development] karan999:
did tyhe screen turn off in step 4 ? if yes,then its an New Gene and your device is bricked.no need to worry.its absolutely normal.follow the rest of the steps in the ROM Upgrading Guide.
[P3400 ROM Development] akshay2000:
Did it!

Yeah, I unbricked it. Actually, the HTC people had kept it for repair and told to replace my mother board. I took it back.

Regarding my problem, I already had an account with administrator privileges, which was only one account, had some name. But RUU.exe didn't work. So, I accidentally created another account with name Administrator1. When I run ROMUpdateUtility.exe in this account, it worked! It did! If any user comes up with problem that RUU.exe is not running at all, suggest him creating new user account. We can see whether this is only my case or it really needs new account.
[P3400 ROM Development] akshay2000:
Is it p3400 0r p3400i? If later one, then new gene.
[P3400 ROM Development] akshay2000:
No, Aneesh, I think you are updating with oref ROM. You have to find another ROM, put it in the folder ROMUpdateUtility and then run RUU.exe in that folder, not one in oref folder.
[P3400 ROM Development] akshay2000:
ROM back?

Hey people, is it possible to flash my Gene with stock ROM again if I flash with any other now? For that I'll need stock ROM. I have os.nb and extrom.nb which I created by dumping my ROM. How do I build them back to RUU_signed.nbh? ROM builder tool is out of database.
[P3400 ROM Development] lamborg:
Read the sticky 'Read this before flashing an Official ROM'. It is very important. Don't flash before reading that or you might get your device bricked.

[P3400 ROM Development] psychocyst:
feel kinda embarrassed to be asking noob questions again after being here for a long time but here goes...

i was upgrading my friends new gene (work with an old gene myself)

and the thread suggests patching the spl with the old gene's olip method and in case if its a new gene and the phone bricks to run mtty and go ahead with the flashing

well i did just that and after running hspl for old gene the phone bricked...

i tried running mtty but instead of asking me for the "USB" option for the port it asks me to select com1,2,3 etc...

so i can't get to the part where i have to enter the "set 32 1" command...

the phone's stuck on the bootloader screen...

edit: SOLVED!!!

ah the noob-dom!!

well all it took was a lil' bit of reading...

i forgot the change the driver for the usb sync

i guess its the same problem for sameermay27 and hari01091986 who posted before me here...i suggest you guys check the drivers again

and same goes for maksunkwr04 too...

the look on my friends face when i told him his device was bricked was priceless...

anyways...i'm off to get my eyes check since i can't even read the darn instructions...

P.S. THIS SITE ROCKS!!! LOVE YOU GUYS!!!

the RUU is the ssame for both Old as well as new Gene.make sure you dont have anything else running on your comp while upgrading to a new rom.try upgrading from another computer.xp recommended.
[P3400 ROM Development] psychocyst:
err...if you're getting an error saying the RUU is outdated then you probably have the NEW GENE and not the OLD one...just something i had come across...

and to get it to work you'll have to patch your spl first using the mtty process

first and foremost...general stuff-

make sure you read the threads carefully...you'll be surprised to how much you can learn just by going through the threads on this fabulous site...

if ever in doubt or if you just want to check out something new or find a software or theme or anything that pops into your head just use the 'search' provided in the site...

if no solution arises, feel free to post up your questions in the appropriate threads...most of the people on this site (including me) will try and help you out whenever possible...if you get no replies, its probably 'cause users haven't logged in since you posted and haven't read the post or there is no solution available at that point of time...point is- don't get upset or disappointed...**** happens

now getting to your phone...

go through the this thread carefully...the procedure is fairly simple...

first begin by patching your spl...

after verifying whether you have the old or new gene as you will find out from the spl procedure find the appropriate rom for you device and flash away...

all the tools you require and how to use them has been explained nicely in the first few post of this thread itself...

again...i stress on the reading part...
