how to backup HTC Trinity's ROM

[wlinsong]

i have a HTC Trinity preproduction unit,it is SuperCID,is there someone tell me how to backup it's ROM.

[pof]

Go into bootloader and look for the available commands by comparing with bootloaders from previous devices... because I guess you don't have any shipped rom to extract the SPL and see the strings yet.

If it is similar to the Hermes, the bootloader doesn't have any commands to backup to SD, HTC has removed them all. Common commands to do this in other HTC devices are 'd2s', 's2d', 'r2sd'.

Hope that helps and let us know your findings :)

[wlinsong]

HTC Trinity's ROM is a test ROM

bootloader version:
TRIN100
IPL-0.50

TRIN100 MFG
SPL-1.01

Have a look here, bootloader should be very similar to the Hermes:

Do you have 'wdata' command or 'wdatah' command?

maybe Hermes' ROM can flash into HTC Trinity,but i am afraid that it's will dead,hehe.

[pof]

production roms will not flash, bcos you don't have 'wdatah'.

Please try command 'wdata' (without h or s).

ok, same as in the Hermes.... preproduction bootloaders come with 'wdata' command. You can use an old RUU with this, and probably updates are distributed in NBF. I'm sure they will change to NBH (digitally signed) in production devices, as they did with the Hermes as well.

The password algo to unlock the command is here:

Are you aware of other users with a Trinity already? If you are many, you might request a separate forum for you on xda developers...

Guys

Does the bugger Have GPS?

[cappuccino]

Guys

Does the bugger Have GPS?

yes, but it's hidden because of a software defect. In time HTC will come with a Rom update.

[Osir1s]

Do you mean the pre-production unit has GPS?

Because the final Trinity unit does not have GPS, its just a 3G/WM5 successor to the prophet/mini series.

[wlinsong]

Guys

Does the bugger Have GPS?
it no GPS,just a normal 3G PDA Phone .

[nickcerda]

It is being released without the GPS enabled because of a conflict between the GPS and the new Qualcomm chips. HTC plans to release a software upgrade later to enable the GPS. Hmm hidden GPS anyone take apart their TyTN...?

[bjrmd]

How did you get one of these, I thought they were not out yet?

This is the output of the bootloader when the ROMUpgradeUt.exe issues the command info 3 during a ROM upgrade, it has been captured using http://wiki.xda-developers.com/themes/default/images/http.pngHHD Software USB Monitor (http://www.hhdsoftware.com/usbmon.html).

is there someone tell me which is Trinity's password

[pof]

is there someone tell me which is Trinity's password

It is dynamic, will change everytime!! have a look at the wiki:

The algorithm is the same for all HTC devices.

[cidriver]

God! is like a Chinese, at least for me.

Pof, have you got idea the date and the place to buy these device? In Spain of course.

Thank you in advance!!!

I don't know sorry :(

Expansys site says it will be available for shipping in spain on November 26th:

[cidriver]

Thanks a lot, I wrote several mails to Expansys UK, Spain and a lot of more store. I know that because I received several mail from Expansys UK and they told due november 23th. Expansys Spain (Elisabet) wrote me today and she told me she have no idea about the date, but she is totally sure about the color, I mean they are going to receive the devices on a grey color.

Today I sent my ex-device to BCN so now I'm lost! or - compuesto y sin "parato"!!! -

Probably I can find something in SIMO - Madrid, who knows?

[pof]

I see you are from "Somewhere in the south of Spain"... then you can probably ask Teleservice Malaga if they know where to buy it. They are the official repair centre of HTC spain.

Pof,
thanks a lot. I live in the corrupt Marbella :-( I made a call phone a week ago to Teleservice, because I bouth several devices. I was talking with a girl called Mercedes and she told me I'll call you back as soon as I have some news. They have no idea about color and date of sell. ¿?

I think the more close is Expansys UK and also the more expensive store. Also have to add the extra ship cost.

It only takes 4 or 5 days to ship from the US.

Well, to sum up this topic; what was the easiest way to back up a rom on P3600?(step by step for a noob like me would be great). I'm keen on posting it up on the Wiki(if possible)... :)

[abrahanjs]

Hola, que tal a todos, me estan ofreciendo una HTC P3600 pero en aleman muy muy barata, y estaba mirando la posibilidad de adquirirla pero solo si es posible cambiarla a español o al menos a ingles y no encuentro ningun post al respecto, es que yo y el ingles, no es lo mio.

Gracias por vuestra respuesta.

[neofix]

And using babelfish it will give you something like:

"Hello, that so to all, estan to me offering a HTC P3600 but in German very very cheap, and was watching the possibility of acquiring it but single if it is possible to change it to Spanish or al less ingles and nonencounter ningun post al respect, it is that I and ingles, he is not mio. Thanks for your answer."

[pof]

@neofix: He wants to know if he can change the language of a Trinity from German to Spanish or English before buying a cheap German Trinity.

@abrahanjs: This is an english forum, please post only in english. And this is a thread about backup rom, so please try to stay with the topic we're discussing, if you have other questions open a new thread.

[abrahanjs]

thanks for the aid, to open a new subject
