Hi there,
this is my first time writting for this Forum, even if present for long.
Basically I have bought a 3 months used Trinity (P3600) in Portugal with GPS enabled since it was the latest devices to be sold.
According to the guy that sold me this, the pda was blocked because sold by Operator. The PDA is in PT language.

Basically when looking into the ROM I got the conclusion that the one installed is the same as the available from htc page (by IMEI):
RUU_Trinity_HTC_PTG_1.23.410.2_103_6275_1.38.00.11 _108_Ship.zip (downloadable file from HTC).
My device:
ROM version: 1.23.410.2
ROM date: 03/13/07
Radio version: 1.38.00.11
Protocol version: 32.71.7020.12H
ExtROM: 1.23.410.103

To me it looks like the same. Therefore I didn't even tried to upload it to PDA.

Then another test I've done, was to try another SIM card then the one I had tried before, and I did get astonished by the fact that the pda was unblocked to any kind of operators.

I started to think that the pda was "touched" and that could mean Warranty off.
I cannot garantee that because the pda contains the rom which HTC makes downloadable through IMEI, meaning maybe the pda went out factory already unblocked. Is it possible?

Since my desire is to check warranty status, maybe you could help me checking if this system was even upgraded, or if CID (which I don't know what means but presume...) was touched or not. Because basically if the PDA was CID unlocked I have already lost warranty and I can upload an English ROM which is one of my interests. If not and by somehow the pda is unblocked to operators but everything is legal, then I'll keep PT ROM until warranty is age limited.

Hope you could help with this as I could still send back to the seller if I'm not satisfied with something. And once more, one of my needs is to have English ROM. And warranty if still possible :)

Thanks in advance.

Best Regards.
