Newbie with 1 big question

Dear All,
first of all....HELLO! I've just registered myself on the forum.
Yesterday I bought the HTC P3600 (Trinity, I think), english version (I suppose it's called wwe). I want to install a cooked ITALIAN ROM, but I read I'm losing the guarantee if I'll do it.
Somebody tell me there is a software that can allow me to re-install the original ROM and avoid the guarantee losing.
Is this right? can someone give me more info?
Thanks in advance for your reply and sorry for my english
Best regards

You can always go back to an original HTC rom, as long as you don't brick your device.
In order to prevent that, you should install a Hard-SPL (board search, iirc its a sticky) which is a replacement bootloader that allows flashing any Rom after bricking.
Have fun playing around with your new P3600.

So if I install first the Hard-SPL I can install a COOKED ITALIAN ROM and after I can go back the original HTC ROM and I'll not lose my guarantee???
If I brick, how can I de-brick the HTC?
Thanks for the quickly reply
Best regards

You should try reading the WIKI and also check www.trinityguides.info

Helloo there.
Your phone is probably cid locked, that means, that u can install only original htc rom-wm5. wm6 doesnt exist for htc trinity.
If u have cid unlocked, u can flash any rom with the RUU (rom update utility) , which is in the package with the rom.
Otherwise i prefer for my cid locked trinity that:

U loose warranty if u send the broken pda on service with the custom rom installed on it. So, before u send it, flash the original rom over and it will be ok.
The problem could be, if the lcd goes bad, than its hard to reinstall the original rom. i know u understand.

Thanks for your answer. I installed the SPL-1.20 and I updated my Radio version (1.46.00.11------is it good?). Now I can install every unofficial ROM and in any case I can go back (how?).
Is it right?
Best regards

Since you're not giving any details I don't know what your exact issue is. It depends on your Phone and where you got it.
Most likely your issue can be resolved by reading the thread which I link to in my signature.

If you HardSPL you wont be able to install a standard HTC ROM without some faffing, I had this problem this week, so if your 1.93 is the released Standard OEM HTC one then dont HardSPL whatever you do.

thanks alot guys. what a quick response. and sorry for the caps lock if it got u confused.
as far as the details of the phone is concerened. its an orange UK contract phone with the ROM version 1.37.405.1 WWE radio 1.00.25.03. the phone hasnt been flashed at all. i did try to flash it to _QMR_RUU_Diamond_HTC_WWE_1.93.405.1_Radio_Signed_Diamond_52.29.25.12_1.00.25.05_Ship.exe but was unable to. i guess i should have hard spl it before.
i m guessing the only thing i need to do is to hard spl it right. or do i need to do something else as well.
again thanks alot guys for the quick responses.

hi tony.
i have actually tried to do it without hard spl but it would get stuck on 1%. is there any other way to do it. i believe the ROM i m trying to flash to is an official one as far as the thread i downloaded it from is concerend.

one thing to clear here. its the first time i m trying to flash from 1.37 to 1.93 official rom. could someone confirm that there is a 1.93... official rom available or is it one of the cooked ones. and could one confirm as well that i need to hard spl even flashing from oficial to official rom. coz two post before tony mentioned not to hard spl.
any ideas guys. thanks

Here's what I've just done, I hope it helps -
Vodafone UK to UK release HTC ROM.
1. I read the info here, over and over and asked lots of questions.
2. I checked the current SPL of my fone (Volume Down & Reset) and found I had 1.37.
3. Downloaded Hard SPL 1.37 UnSigned and installed it - Here was my first problem. Everyone just says use RUU to install hard SPL however the SPL's I downloaded didn't come with RUU so I took a guess and decided that RUU was a generic flasher which could also flash the SPL for me.
4. Use RUU to flash the SPL, mine reported V1.0 as the new ROM version but installed and rebooted perfectly to reveal the coloured screen informng that I did now have a Cooked SPL installed.
5. Followed the fisrt startup procedure that the phone asked me to do.
6. Flashed the new ROM in a similar way to flashing the Hard SPL.
7. Phone flashed ok and I'm just in the process of setting it up now.
One issue I did have was using Vista I had to right click and run as Administrator to make it work.

wrong. if you use unsigned hardspl (aka "developer hardspl") it will flash HTC ROMs just fine
1.93 is also unsigned.

who's "everyone"? this information is totally wrong, wrong, wrong.
next time you download an attachment from a post, read the post where the attachment was, and you won't have this problem (the post that had the unsigned hardspl 1.37 also talked about where to get the special SSPL RUU for it - have a guess. it is in the same post in another attachment).

Remove HardSPL

How do I remove HardSPL so that I can load my factory rom for a warranty return?
Can I just the load the vendors ROM or will this brick my phone?
My diamond is a UK vodafone version and I have a copy of their official ROM, I read this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=342744
but it says I need the IPL/SPL based on your device and carrier where would I get these?

you need to flash the ROM and Radio back first, then find a stock SPL and flash that.
MAKE SURE THE SPL IS THE LAST THING!!!

i even found the stock SPLs for u

I am not the one who asked the question but I thank you also. I don't need to reflash the rom for return but I will bookmark this just in case .

Thanks but I'm a little confused now, how do I flash the ROM and Radio back first and what is the SPL then. I followed the link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=400411 but I think these are the roms aren't they?

Yes, those are the ROMs. They do also include the radio.
Just use either the original RUU Updater to upload it to the phone or the patched one from OliNex.
After that you have to upload the original SPL.

mugglesquop. Thank you for the original SPLs but I dont see the UK orange stock SPL listed...Can I use any 1.37 SPLs????
I used the search function on this forum and could not find the stock uk orange SPL. Thanks.

Afaik there are no stock orange spl. Standard spl (same version) should work.
To be sure, get a orange rom and extract the spl from there.

viperbjk. Thank you for the info. I extracted an orange ROM and found a file named "RUU_signed.nbh". I believe this is the bootloader file that I will need to load after installing the original orange ROM.
Hopefully this will work and can send my Diamond back to orange.Thanks

The RUU_signed.nbh is normally the complete rom package. You have to extract it, to see if SPL is in it.
Cya,
Viper BJK

I can confirm there is no "orange" SPL

Back to Original ROM and CID Lock

Dear Friends;
I've done HardSPL and installed Cooked ram (downloaded from XDA) several times, but recently I heared that by installing non-original ROMs the Guarantee will be invoked. It is easilly possible to back to original ROM but is it possible to back to original CID lock as well? I dont want loose the Guarantee....
I will be appreciated if the firends kindly help me.
Best Regards
Darius

As far as I know you can go back to your original SPL, but dont quote me on it.
Wait for a better answer from someone more experienced.

at the same place where u got the hard spl, the author probably provided the stock spl for warranty purposes.
so what u need before u send it back to service is:
stock spl, stock rom, and stock radio (probably u remember which came with it).
any ways, just read the hard spl thread, and u have the answer.
don't do nothing without first reading what u are doing

easy!
hi, simply install an ORIGINAL HTC rom and it return with rom and original CID.
Bye, felix

AFAIK installing another rom also the HTC default ones are not giving back the CID when u unlocked it, if you wrote the CID down you can do it with the CID unlocker of OliNex there u can write in the CID u want to set.
The problem with stock SPL is dicussed many times ! a whole thread is there for that.

[Q] Important !! Flashing a stock rom , I need help

Hello ,I have updated my desire z and rooted but now I have to send it for repair to the service I have flashed 1,34 wwe rom and did all the steps for S-On and now I have a security on device but 2,42 wwe rom does not matches to my country CID code so I want to ask if is it possible to flash 2.42 stock rom on a Security OFF and Rooted phone directly or will this brick my phone ? I don't want SU or ect anymore ,just a stock rom all I need

so in other words, help you trick your carrier into thinking that you never rooted your phone?

yes please

Why do you need to upgrade, if your concern is warranty?
Its important to have the original CID & Simlock and firmware for warranty - i myself didn´t find the original vodafone firmware, so i flashed 1.34 wwe restored simlock, cid, s-on and original recovery and they didn´t even recognize that the phone was rooted (or they just didn´t care) ...

ohh reallly , I can flash 1.34 again and put S-On and original CID back and hope they do not recognize anything By the way I live in Turkey and do you too ? I wonder about the procedures for service repair , you said "vodafone firmware" my phone is vodafone too but Turkish Carrier ...

yes it worked for me... but maybe it was luck.
no im not from turkey - austria and i just looked into the german forums if there is a vodafone ruu now - but sorry there isn´t.
the procedure was like this: i took my phone to the carrier, told them what was broken (it was a hw problem) they had a quick look at it and then told me that i have to wait for 2 weeks... i got my phone back with a new vodafone firmware ...had to re-root again
