Extracting ROM from HTC P3600i

[capeli]

Hey Folks,

I lost my Trinity P3600 (branded Dopod D810) so I'll be getting the upgraded Trinity (P3600i) in a few weeks as a replacement.

Just wondering...the ROM is reported as being 256MB with 160MB usable meaning that the operator ROM is taking up a whopping 96MB. Seems like a lot to me.

Ordinary Trinity has 128MB of ROM and after a hard reset you'll generally have 50 - 60MB free meaning the ROM is only taking up 68 - 78MB; a lot less than the P3600i.

I was hoping that when I get P3600i I could get some help in extracted the original ROM image (which I will then upload if anyone wants it) before I flash to a ROM that gives more storage space.

I want to have the original just in case there is stuff I need on the original ROM or if something goes wrong and I need to return device for service.

Also, as far as I know the P3600i is just a souped up trinity so there should be no issues with SSPL etc... right?

Cheers

Having played around with my shiny P3600i yesterday and today, its essentially the same. It appears as if all the existing roms etc work for it as the normal D810 does.

The reason the standard rom uses so much space is not whats in it so much, but more because its not been run through the storage tool that gives more space, by Tadzio (IIRC).

That said, the new update is spectacular! the extra 32mb ram and 100mhz cpu makes a HUGE difference to its responsiveness!

What ROM version, Windows build & radio rom does your P3600i display?

Do you know how to extract the original ROM? If you can, please do so as that would be an enormous help. I'd like to have a backup of the original ROM for reasons already mentioned.

Haven't heard of the tool by Tadzio, I'll take a page outta Ol Nealed's book and use my bestest friend Search.

32MB more RAM? I'm pretty sure the p3600i only got 100MHZ increase in CPU & 128MB increase in ROM. No stats i've seen so far indicate ram update.

edit: my bad, your right, same ram as before. saying that, mines showing 36mb available, so better memory management maybe?? thats using mUn-Rus light.

I never kept the original rom (stupidly) but its possible to get a rom update from HTC Aus though.

Also, radio is the same as the current latest for Aus here, being 1.46.30.11.
