no one seems to know exactly which rom to use, so I have decided to try a new digitizer as there only $14.99US delivered. I will keep you all posted on how it goes, I have already had the factory digitizer out and back in, and noticed it responding a bit different after doing so, so i jumped on ebay & purchased one.. wish me luck lol !!
[Touch 3G General] dimakoff:
Hello, gyes!

I've recently bought the same clone touch 3G and here is what i found. Differences between clone and original touch 3g:

1. Marvell PXA 300 624MHZ instead of QUALCOMM

2. No brightness sensor.

3. Clone has FM radio, Original does not ;-)

4. GPS on the clone does not work (at least mine)

5. ROM/RAM clone 256/128, original 256/192

6. HTC letters on the front side does not have HTC logo

No issues with digitiser on mine. Works 100% fine. ROM language is(was) English (because I installed russification CABs and it is now Russian). I can tell you that I'm satisfied with this clone, the only issues are:

- GPS not working,

- Ear speaker sound bad quality. Sometimes hard to define what your opponent said.

I think moderators should make a sticky thread about HTC Touch 3G clone here (Or add something to Wiki) to help people not to cause a backflash.
[Touch 3G General] matt47:
Hi Dimakoff .. did you happen to backup the english rom before you flashed it ? :) .. :D

... from having mine in 200 pieces many times, I noticed (what i think is) the GPS unit is in the back case, it has 2 copper contacts on it, they are supposed to touch the circuit board, you may need to take it apart and make sure your gps unit is connecting to the board !.. when doing this, you will more than likley snap the external speaker wire off the board, so either be carefull!!.. or have soldering iron ready !!
[Touch 3G General] dimakoff:
Hi, matt47!

Very interresting about GPS fix, I'll try today. I can try to upload an SPB Backup of the english ROM (clean, whithout russification), give me couple of days please.

One question: Can you make a photo of an ear speaker, while disassembled into 200 pieces? :-) I want to check whether I can find a similar speaker, but with better sound quality, and install it.

See you!

Rom for T3232

Ok Guys here we go..

I have 3 Of this Phones, and so far i am very pleased with the Phone. I can not complain about the Touch screen, or even GPS, All is working very well.

I have 2 Phones in Portuguese Language, what i would like to change to English.

Since i have One Phone in English, how do i Copy, Save or whatever the One Rom, and bring it over to the Portuguese Phone?

Are there some tools to do so? If someone could point me to the right corner, i could go from there , and at the end, we would have 3 Roms for this Phone.

Portuguese Rushen , and Most wanted English!

Hi, everybody!

Here is the link for the clean english ROM Backup(!). It is just a backup of ROM, but I think it should work if installed over any other ROM (after doing Hard Reset, ofcource). It should also change the language of the rom, i.e. If there was a chineese ROM it will turn it into English, etc. (I think so ;-) )

http://rapidshare.com/files/250826833/HTC_Touch3G_CLONE_Clean_English_ROM_Backup.exe.html

P.S. Hard Reset can be done by pressing green and red buttons and while doing that pressing power (or soft reset).

[Touch 3G General] ronp76:
Hello, I am relatively new to this Forum but have read it thoroughly. I got a bad ROM from my ebay seller. I cannot flash the ROM. I have tried every hard reset method and downloaded 6.1 and 6.5 ROMs, updated VistaRUU; tried the Jade HardSPL, etc. with no success.

I have a clone t3232. In reading this Forum yesterday, I thought I saw that several members had posted to Rapid$hare a ROM using SPB Backup. I believe that is the only way I will be able to get to a ROM that I can then flash.

Could someone please upload a basic 6.1 or 6.5 ROM to RS made with SPB pretty please? Thanks in advance.
[Touch 3G General] ronp76:
Sorry that my first post was one in need. Since I got my phone Wednesday, I have had nothing but headaches with it. I slowly learned that I probably got a bad ROM. Nothing I've tried has worked. I've read this thread three times now.

The first time I had hoped to be able to get a better ROM and then upgrade from 6.5 to one of the mega or super ROMs. It wasn't until this morning that I learned that I had a crippled ROM that was missing several key features of WM 6.5. Then when I tried to flash I found out how bad it was.

I cannot perform a hard reset. When I get the white screen, it has the USB method but Vista will not let me update the T3232's drivers to accomodate VistaRUU. The Hard SPL gets nothing but Fatal Errors and my ROM is not showing like the one that it is being flashed (that has a name).

I promise to make this up or good to the Forum. . .
[Touch 3G General] Amaly:
You can't flash a rom with a SPB backup. You must have a "smart.upr" file, which you can download from one of the links in this thread.

1. Unzip the file and copy the SMART.UPR to your memory card

2. Power off the phone

3. Press the answer button (green), enter button (the big one) and power on button at the same time

Then you will see the white screen and the update will start. Wait until it is complete. Then reset your device. That's all :)
[Touch 3G General] ronp76:
I've tried that method. It did not work. The seller sent me a "supposed" good 6.5 ROM. I cannot do hard resets that get a good screen. I just see the white one with a USB update message.
[Touch 3G General] ronp76:
I should add that I had the Smart.upr on an SD correctly formatted. I downloaded the 6.1 ROM as well. Nothing has worked. SPB works on my clone and thought I could do it that way.

I would think that if I got an SPB backup.exe file of a WM6.5 ROM, it would be like one of the backups I've made of my bad ROM. In effect, it would not be a flash but a system rewrite of what I should already have on my T3232 clone

Choice between models

Thanks for this great thread!

I am new to it but i have read it throughly and appreciated the detailedness of information and care towards each other.

Now here is my question (the answer of which will bring me to your rows - "clone owners"):

I am to chose between T3232, T3238 and T4242.

Which one would you reccomend?

I have read that T4242 has a proc "Marvell PXA310 +NXP5209" (what is the NXP5209 stand for anyways?) whereas for two others both PXA300 and PXA310 is mentioned depending on a ebay listing... Is PXA300 slower?

Which model have less problems?

Huge thanks in advance

P.S. similar question has been asked several times before and remained unanswered - either there was no answer or there was no will..

I hope that time has changed both...
[Touch 3G General] Amaly:
You get the "USB-Update" message although your device is not connected to you PC?

Normally, if you use the xx.upr file update starts from SD-Card. Sorry but I have no idea, why it doesn't work in your case.
[Touch 3G General] benfatto:
Hi, i have the 3238 but since some roms are with both compatible (3238 / 4242) they must be mostly the same phones with different designs. I would suggest you to choose the design which you prefering. One difference i know is the middle control of the 4242 (i think you can scroll with the 4242 middle control - eg in emails).

In trying to do a hard reset, I've tried every combination of buttons available on this Jade clone. My seller says mine is the talk and send buttons followed by the big enter button in the middle. Doing this combo does not do a hard reset. With the exception of one combo, nothing does a hard reset for my clone.

However, if while the phone is powered off, and I pressed the volume down bar on the left side and depress the power switch, I get a white screen with a "USB - Update" message. When I saw that Saturday, I hooked up the phone via the supplied USB cable to my laptop. Vista recognized that the phone was telling Vista that it needed a cab file update. Vista did a search, did the update and then sync'ed.

Thinking I was finally getting somewhere I tried to run the SPL relock.

My Device Info reads:

PDA version V03.06.00

PDA build S0908131741

Stack Version V02.42

Stack build May 16, 2009

Radio Version 1.3

Radio Package 2.2

SPL Relock did not show which version I had while displaying what it was trying to flash my ROM to. It reported on the next screen that it could not communicate with my device and recommended I quit (as if I had an option).

Seeing as I can't do a hard reset to load a SMART.UPR from the SD card, I am beginning to feel that I am **** out of luck. . .
[Touch 3G General] benfatto:
1) With TouchRuu you can update your Phone with a new ROM, with XP you need to install ActiveSync, with Vista Windows Mobile Device Center, i not tryed it with Win 7 and dont know if it works. But as alternative you can buy a small microSD Card and update the rom from there

2) Its a shell from HTC, gives your Phone a more finger friendly surface

3) You need a registry editor for windows mobile. But i didnt correct the registry because i have no problems with wifi

4) 3.06 is the Hardware Version of your Phone. Alternatively you can use a windows mobile 6.5 rom with your phone

5) I most like Mobile Shell 3 / But a windows mobile 6.5 without shell is ok too
[Touch 3G General] Amaly:
I think you confuse a hardreset with an update. With a hardreset you recover the factory settings. The combination of buttons are different. Your device infos say exactly the same than mine :
