Hi all!
I am askin for someones help, I have been explorin the threads with agility, but I think I have a lesser knowledge in software language(especially if it is in english) so I cant understand completly how to make my htc p3400 look like other newer htc-s.
By explorin I found out that i want to make him finger friendly and that i need to install (or flash???) wm6 on it.
I tried several programs on it and they are good, like pointUI, and i managed to put a simplified HTCcube on it(it has no applications side).
So as a big noob that cant make sense of many instructions, probably cause of lack of software knowledge and language problems, can somebody guide me through the process(and not just say;AND THEN U FLASH IT) how to do that, and of course advise me on which rom(if i got it right? )to put on that my p3400 works fine!
Thank anyone who helps me with d process!
P.S.And a big apology to administrators for making this thread, cause there are probably many of them like this one, but if someone helps me and makes a step by step explanation probably there wont be any new threads like this!
In advance,
thank u all
ok to go further with my question, to be more exact
quote from member niravana1981:
Default Gene SSPL and HSPL .....done!
1.Copy jumpspl.exe on your device, at root. Copy 1.10-olipro.nb on your device, at MyDocuments.
2.Run jumpspl.exe on your device. Enter 0x10000000 as address. Select 1.10-olipro.nb in list,
and press and hold "Voice Cammander" and "Camera" button. hold,after the flash work is over.
(sorry for my mistake by hold power button,but i used power button works well)
3.White screen is appear. Now your device is temorary CID-unlocked.
flash the gene spl patched by Olipro.(it's HSPL)
ok i get steps 1 and 2 what to do in my attempt to put wm6 on my p3400, but step 3 is for me a mystery as I said in first post(above) how do i flash, what do to next and what is root of my device, is it the htc folder in it or....?
I am a noob, but i know what I want so I am searching for help from u guys, I wanna make my p3400 COOOOOL and finger friendly.
So I defind my problem I hope someone helps me resolve it cause I alone cant and am too afraid to f... up my p3400!
Step by step would be helpful if anyone has time for it!
Thanks

First let me apologize for the title of this thread, I really couldn't resist. I just bought a i-mate jasjam and have spent the last several days reading these forums, the wiki, and all the other places that clicking things here will take you. I want to say right out that EVERYTHING I know about the Hermes I learned from this site, and that I am a complete beginner, and please do flame away if i am wrong. I'd rather get insulted online than have a brick in my pocket.
THe one thing that there isn't in the wiki (that I found anyway) is a current, step by step for total noobies like me who don't know what to do first and get scared by dealing with more than three file types in one sitting, that uses the SD card method. It seems that the SD method is faster, easier (especially if you run Vista), and even a little safer that the "old school" RUU method.
Soooo, I'd like to write a new wiki page to this effect, and am more than happy to put in screenshots, links, host file downloads, etc. What i'd REALLY appreciate is if you senior types could take a look at this simple outline and tell me if there is something drastically wrong with it. After a good schooling I'll post a complete article with more copied info from the threads and complete sentences and punctuation and stuff.
PROPOSED "DAY-ONE, JUST OUT OF THE BOX CAN"T WAIT TO" UPGRADE
1.enter bootloader mode to check sp version
2.format an SD card to FAT32, checking card integrity and fixing errors
3.Use Winar to Extract the .NHB file from Hard-SP-v7.zip, transfer to SD card with card reader and rename to HERMIMG.NHB
4.put the card in the phone and enter the bootloader by pressing side OK, Power, and soft reset button (with stylus). Once in bootloader mode accept the upgrade
This safe-nates things up, and CID unlocks the phone, right?
5.re-format SD card to FAT32, checking card integrity and fixing errors
6. Use WinRar to Extract the .NBH from HERM_Radinly_1.41.00.10_CustomRUU, transfer it to the SD card and rename it HERMIMG.NBH
7. put the card in the phone and enter the bootloader by pressing side OK, Power, and soft reset button (with stylus). Once in bootloader mode accept the upgrade
8. check the radio version in system info
9. re-format the SD card for FAT32, checking integrity and fixing errors
10. Use WinRar to Extract the .NBH from WM6 ROM of choice, transfer it to SD card and rename HERMIMG.NBH
11. Put the card in phone and enter the bootloader mode as above, when in bootloader accept the upgrade. Follow instructions from mrvanx for activesync
12. transfer my CAB files for applications to (Temp?) folder on card and then run each of them to install my apps (Skype, CeStar,TengoThumb,etc.)
Does this sound about right? Thoughts? Flames?
Thanks to all for such fantastic work, donations on the way for all who wrote files I have downloaded over the past few days, you guys rock!
whats with the SD card upgrading?
you can run HardSPL by itself, you dont have to extract and put the nbh file on ur storage card.. unneccesarry steps if you ask me..

Well, I run Vista, and I like the idea of not having to fiddle with the drivers in order to do RUU, and I saw a few posts that some people had difficulty getting things to work with Vista. Also, posts have led me to beleive that it is faster to do it this way, which would lead to less chances of things going wrong (it's really hard to make Vista stop doing things in the background all the time). Also, there are already really awesome guides for doing it the RUU way, but not one for a complete SPL/Radio/ROM upgrade using this method, I think it appeals to a lot of people, including the dreaded Mac user. If it's not actually a good way please do explain, and finally, to me it just seems plain easier. I've only found a few posts that had troubles with the method and dozens that praised it. thanks for replying!!
Madcap, thanks for the input, I was going for continuity but I take your advice, keep 'em coming!!!
oh...you didn't mention Vista in your original thread.. lol .. best advice I can give you ... Throw vista in the trash.

Step 4 does not CID unlock the device. It looks like it just installs Hard SPL which will allow the user to recover from a bad radio flash.
Of course this should not matter as there really isn't a need to CID unlock any more (unless you want to unlock/unhide your EXT ROM)
HardSPL just makes your phone Temporary superCID right or something to that effect.

Cool, it was my understanding that Hard SPL temporarily makes you super CID (as Madcap said) allowing you to flash on any ROM you want, for all intents and purposes is this not pretty much the same thing as unlocking? Not arguing, just trying to clarify. A lot of noobs know that CID is an issue and that they need to disable it somehow when they flash......
Please keep comments coming,Thanks!!!!
P.S. MOD, in my sleep addledness I think I posted this in the wrong place, should it be moved to the UPGRADE forum? THANKS!!
P.P.S. Drinking is the only way I can tolerate having a Vista machine, we all were so happy about getting our new laptops this year, and then we turned them on....it's like getting a christmas present in the shape of a new bicycle, but when you tear off the wrapping paper there's really a tetanus shot inside.
SUCCESS!!
I followed the OP steps (with very minor modification) and was able to go from a completely new, out of the box, never even put in a sim card phone to HardSP-V7, upgraded radio, new WM6 ROM (Schaps, this ROM is awesome, thanks!!!). All without using a cable or upgrading any drivers. From beginning of first download to totally upgraded was one hour. Why anyone would ever do this the old-fashioned way is beyond me, especially if you are running Vista. I'm making a tutorial and have collected the few little things you need to do this and will add a wiki article with pics ASAP.
Thanks to everyone for all the great info and hard work here, a complete noob like me can go from 0-60 entirely by reading this site. I am loving this phone more by the minute!!
A noob who has read the posts and wiki, and then created and tested a step by step routine for others like himself in order to address something that the wiki doesn't.
A fine example that a lot of others should note.

Sorry man, I just couldn't help myself. I am in love with Vista. No problems whatsoever with it. Have had it installed since it came out and never had to re-install. Speed is the same as when I installed it. Can't say that for XP! LOL. I forget how many times I had to install that piece of........................
LOL
p.s no flames........please.
I love Vista. Its given my two year old laptop a new lease of life.
Hi mlalahoi,
I am getting a lot of issues after installing CE-Start. Played virtually with every WM 6 ROM arround and still experiencing freezing.
Have run Shadow and LVSW without CE-Start for couple of days and both ROMs was very stable and fast. After CE-Start lot of problems.
Will be nice to hear your experience with the Chinese characters

Did you download the 2.8 Suite from the mobem website here AND use thier installer to install TO THE PHONE (install to SD doesn't work)?
I had similar problems when I went through the process of getting my hermes to be dual English and Chinese. THe first time I tried to manually install some cab files I found on a chines forum somewhere, totally jerked my normally very good Shaps ROM. I ended up having to do a hard reset, trying to uninstall the cabs just caused an unrecoverable hang. Make sure you use the official, latest install program and install to the phone, mines been flawless ever since.
Without registering you don't get the dictionary, but you can get a really good free version of CEDICT for mobiles here, it allows you to search by pinyin w/wo tones, english, or chinese characters. If you have trouble getting it to copy-paste between other apps try this app from the Wiki.
I have a collection of good ppc Chinese learning tools, pm me if you want to set up a file transfer, and do check out www.mandarintools.com for all your CHinese computing needs, no affiliation, just a great site.
Hi mlalahoi,
Thanks for the links! Actually I was using all the time v2.8 of Ce-Star, including the original installer - never used cabs to install. I found that "my" version of Ce-Star package is 6KB less than the one you recomended - here might be the problem. During the weekend will flash a new Rom and will play with the "new" Ce-Star 2.8 -- hope it will rock
I am using the ppc version of 金山 (PowerWord) and it serves me well. My Chinese characters needs are very simple ones - to be able to reed text and e-mails in Chinese, and rarely to answer using characters.
Will send you feedback about stability of the ROMs with "new" Ce-Star
I always wanted to reinstall WM6 but i don´t know how. i don´t understand the wiki. can somebody help me with installprogram and how to install it?
I can´t activate the wifi and I already tried hardreset.
...and I can´t turn off the device either...
can somebody help me?\\gnops
do you mean re-flash/upgrade?
please be specific about your problems,
on what you are trying to solve.
we would gladly help you but still the WIKI is there to have all the information you need.
there's an upgrade wizard there in which there are steps to be followed.
making it the most concise source of information on how to upgrade.
we could post the instructions here BUT that would be a redundancy of data.
best advice? know our WIKIs.
You'll never know what problems you might get around with or not encounter, from knowing things on our WIKI.
now... im being redundant on WIKI.
P.S.
on powering on/off the device... you could always unlatch the battery notch to cut the power from your BA... then latch it again then power it on.
well...!
I want to turn off the device with the botton. but I can´t why?
and the wiki? well...I don´t understand a thing... where can i download the latest Rom and WM6? can you help me with a proper "how to do guide"?

The wiki has a how-to guide, it's the 'wizard style wiki' link under the Blue Angel WM6 home page. It really doesn't get any easier.
You also said that you "always wanted to reinstall WM6 but i don´t know how." and "I can´t activate the wifi and I already tried hardreset". That sounds like you have already flashed it with a ROM.
So, I'm kind of confused.
As to where to get a copy of the ROM, check the thread for the ROM you want to use. They "might" be listed in there.
Besides, you didn't list who your carrier is. For all we know, you have a Harrier (used on verizon or sprint), which will not work with any of the ROM's mentioned around the site.
Honestly, what many people do with their phones and these custom ROM's is not for the faint of heart, there is a very real chance that you will ruin your phone and have an expensive paper weight. If you are unsure about taking this chance, don't try it.
hi.i want to upgrade my imate jamin to wm6..i have the latest rom version,but i didn t reach to upgrade to wm6,i trid hard but i always get disconected from my windows sync,imate support told me yhat i can t upgrade my jamin ro wm6,but here in xda i heard that there is a way to do it..pks pks help..i need to know howstep by step ,if anyone can help me pls.co i/m tired trying ...without succes,,thanks..
well of course imate will tell u that!!!
Next time you post, tell people the steps u have tried, saves us writing a whole heap of ****e like below, prob why no one has answered u, and do search b4 post
goto the prophet section on main home page there are all the tools needed and guides to help you. Spend some time reading and follow the instructions or u will brick your phone.
Here are a few pointers:
Read the wiki section on prohpet roms.
check if ur jamin is G3 or G4 - very important!!!!!!!!!!!
before flashing, unplug all other usb devices from ur pc, btw u cannot flash if u are using windows vista, so use a pc with XP!
i sugguest putting on Jesterz AKU 2.2 first (in prophet section) - then hard reset.
If that fails and get connection error, try another usb port, i had to try 3 out of my 4 before it worked for me, dont ask me why.
Download hardspl and follow the guide!! do it wrong and u brick ur fone!!
enter in boot loader ur SPL should read like my signature, (G3 or G4)if it doesnt then hardspl did not work, do it again.
Download the wm6.1 of ur choice, look at Vincents one, i like them and pretty stable! There are a lot of older roms out there, so look around. I downloaded 5 and in the process of testing 2nd one to find one i like, see my sig.
If u fail, dont give up, try again and keep trying, but follow the guides and wiki and u will be fine.
remember, pppppp, prior preparation prevents piss poor performance

No search! Impossible. Theres a whole forum dedicated to flashing including WM 6.5. Looking through that forum there is even a sticky for noobs on flashing. I won't even post the link.
Heres the link to flashing! Start with this.

But seriously, I'm not trying to give you a hard time, its just that if you couldn't find that forum you probably shouldnt be trying to flash a ROM.
Welcome to forums
Read deeply the Wiki (Rhodium)

Getting WM 6.5 shouldn't be this hard, SOS - I need help!
I'm having the same problem. . . . . I have flash my T-Mobile TP2 by following all the instructions posted by mskip. I have the multi color screen (red, green, blue white) with the following information:
RHOD210 32 SS- BC
SPL-0.85 OlinNex
MicroP(LED) 0x0A
MicroP(KEY) 0x04
TURBO HW/TURBO SW
TP MFG DATA
505,527 807, 853
811,196 199,193
203,860 Calibrated
So my TP2 is flashed. . . . My phone still says 6.1 when re-started.
Now What? I know people are going to say download a rom from the Rhodium forms. . . . I have about 20 downloaded to my computer.
My question is how in the HELL do you put window' mobile 6.5 in the the TP2? I have read thru many threads however no one address the most simple of questions or perhaps I'm just not understanding a crital step in the update process.
Where do you find the rom to install wm 6.5? And how to get the rom on to the phone? Oh and please don't point to [Resources] Flashing your First GSM Rhodium Rom (For Noobs) I have read that about 100 times.
If I find the correct rom, then what?
Is there a drag and drop process that I'm missing or do I have to reformat a file to RUU,NBH or EXE or somthing.
I have downloaded the CustomRUU, Rhodium-HardSPL and every version of wm 6.5 manilla type file I can find however I can't find the simple rom to upgrade from 6.1 to 6.5
I'm so confused and fustratiated that I am going to sell my TP2 and go back to the EASY iPhone (Jail Breaking was soo easy) or Blackberry Bold.
Please HELP. . . . I don't want to have to junk a phone that I want to keep
so youve had the hardSPL part already done i see.
now pick a rom and open that zip or rar file
in there are two files, drag and drop them on your desktop
now connect your phone with activesync or devicecentre to your computer
and make sure your phone is and stays connected
now double click on the RUU file from within the zip/rar file and follow the on-screen directions.
thats it.
hope this was helpfull
OK, I have followed your intruction to the letter and I have made progress. . . . . however I while following to prompts on the program (The Update Utility) I got the following error message:
ERROR [240]: file open
The Update Utility can not open the requested field.
Please check your Update Utility.
And on another attempt I got the to the end and nothing happend.
The last prompt said the following:
PDA PHONE UPDATE UTILITY 3.27.4.3
Verify that you want to update the Rom version
From
Image version:
To
Image Version: 0.85.OliNex
Click next to proceed: Click Cancel to quit.
. . . . I hit the next button and nothing happens. I still have WM 6.1
What am I doing wrong or am I missing a crital step?
Seems like I need the program to recognize the rom some how or mabe I'm way off.
I really do appreciate your help!
If you are using the CustomRUU.exe that comes with HardSPL, you cannot flash ROMs with it. That CustomRUU.exe is specially made for flashing HardSPL, and won't flash other stuff.
Try downloading this ROM (it's the one I use on my device, it's in my signature), and once it's downloaded, extract it using 7-zip/Universal Extractor/WinRAR or any other RAR unizipping utility. Ensure the directory that you extract the RAR file to has no other .NBH files in it. Now, run CustomRUU.exe (the one that comes in the RAR file) and follow the directions. Keep in mind that when it says what Image Version you are updating to in CustomRUU.exe, it should NOT say 0.85.OliNex.
Now, if that still doesn't work, try transferring RHODIMG.nbh to any MicroSD card (ensure it's formatted to FAT32), putting the microSD card back into the device, and manually go into the bootloader (Hold Volume-Down and the Power button). Follow the instructions, flash the ROM, soft reset (or yank out the battery) when it's completely finished, and congratulations, you're running Windows Mobile 6.5!
Hi fellas:
I just bot a used Touch Pro 2 with 6.1 for the wife for xmus.
Is it possible to use the HTC Rom that is listed on the EU site on a US HTC and then try to put it on Roger's 3G/Edge in Canada?
Thanks!
ok...I guess not
Is there another ROM that I would have better luck with?
My carrier (Rogers Canada) says that the 3G I have will not work on their network because it is T-Mobilized. The Edge Network is working (slow) and now I'm worried that this may never work on 3G here.
I read there is a vanilla "unlocked" 6.5 ROM here. Is that what I should be shooting for?
If you hardspl your device then you can put any rom on it that you want. Search, read and learn in the rom section.
From what i understand is that you bought a Touch pro 2 with T-mobile rom installed. So what you need to do is look in the rom section and read the flashing for noobs guide. Then pick a rom and flash. I think you will like the |R|6.5.3|ROM|WWE| ★ EnergyROM "Phoenix 2" 28011/21885 ★Dec 25★ Sense 2.1/Titanium. After you've flashed your T-mobile rom will be gone. Good luck
Hi all!
Glad to found this forum, I just got my Xda Exac 4G 64Mb from O2 (sim free by default)
I've spent lat 3h reading this forum but most of tutorials are outdated, so i have some suestion just to make thimgs clear for me.
1. Do i need to unlock my phone first with "HTC_Uni_Unlock_v1" or other apps (if other please give a name and link) before falshing new rom
2. Do i need to use some kind of loader or included installer will do all the job (i know i need to go to bootloader mode)
3. How safe it is?
4. How can i backup my orginal rom in case i would like to go back to orginal one, or where i can download orginal o2 rom?
5. Is device getting power from usb durning flashing? I dont know how long this battery will last I dont want power lose durning flashing.
6. Tomal or Luca? Which one will be better for me?
7. Where in Ireland i can get memory upgreade?
Thanks for all the answers Cheers
Welcome to forums
here all you need yo know for flashing:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=567017
It is 100% safe if you follow instructions
Charge your battery to 100% before flashing and take out sim card and sd card
I recommend Tomal, but it´s up to you, depending on what you want from a ROM
Read, Search, Respect and Enjoy!
so just run the instaler and follow info on the screen? no need for SuperCID? or maybe installer will set device to SuperCID by it self?
what i want from a rom? well... a nice look, to be stable and fast, and have nice functions
ok since noone really wants to answer my questions i did update myself..
here's what i learn (maybe someone will need this)
you dont need to unlock your device if it's sim free
you need to have all the files you want to update in one folder
all you need to do is run ROMUpgradeUt.exe and follow info on the screen
for me whole procedure took 2-3 min
thats it ....
