I'd bought my htc p3600 pro (black, free from sim-lock & free from any carrier) from London.

As advised by TRINITYGUIDES.INFO site I tried to do HardSPL with all the three available HardSPL files, but of no avail.
When the HardSPL's progress bar comes(on pc) it gives a message on my phone " Enterbootloader.exe....This may harm your device...Do you want to continue.." I pressed yes & the process stopped & gave an error on pc "Error 246 Device not responding" & on phone screen showed the bootloader with
TRIN100
IPL-SSPL by Des

TRIN100
SPL-1.07.ds

I did soft reset on my p3600 & its working as usual with it original spl infos.

I want to put official WM6 SEA version(ROM+RADIO) on my phone...Please help.

I too have the same message when I try to upgrade to hard spl as per teh guide here: http://trinityguides.info/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=25&Itemid=66&limit=1&limitstart=2

Can anyone help? I have tried updating active synch... could there be anything else?

I have flashed my rom befroe to unlock the GPS but I now want to upgrade to WM6.

I guess the hard spl is a failsafe and I can skip this step?

Thanks

Hi,

first of all, sorry for my poor English. I try to explain my problem so good I can... I hope you can help me.

I have the "[Error 246] Device not responding" problem.

I have used a lot the "search"-function and I have found a lot of posts which propose the same solution "restart the Rom upgrade another time". Ok I did it and my PDA works very well, but now I would like to solve the problem radicaly... How can I solve this problem? Should I use SPLexploit (I have found the guide on trinityguides.info) and then reflash a Hard-Spl?

Thx a lot

ciao

Before flash manually enter bootloader. After start the rom update utility. (As www.trinityguides.info suggest). You will not get error 246 any more:)

Here is written to flash rom you should manually enter to bootoader. In this case, you will not have error 246.

Most of the people know this, so they have not this problem;)

Those who not manually enter bootloader can get error 246, and this way of flashing is not as safe as the manual bootloader way.
(because in this case you use the spl uploaded by RUU, not the hard-spl on the PDA)

I found a way to solve the problem 246 go in you mobile device, -->start -> settings-> connections ->USB to PC open this. Remove the hook @ Advanced networksettings activation! ---> click OK--> close

try again the bootloader etc, then on the tricolore reboot screen is shown USB in the lower white field and the bootloader can do its routine complete.


Have Fun with flashing the phones!
Testet with original German Vodafone available ROM " vpa_comp_gps_RUU_Trinity_VF_DE_1_23_162_4_6275_1_2 9_00_01_13000_108_Ship.exe "

testet with ZackMcRofls superfast german rom " RUU_Trinity_GER_1.23.162.2_GPS_v3f_by_ZakMcRofl "

testet with
" htcp3600_RUU_Trinity_HTC_GER_1-23-407-2_103_6275_1-38-00-11_108 "

First was Zack´s rom, 2nd. was Original Rom, 3. was Trinitys rom, after trxing all, i flashed Zacks Rom again, it was the best in my view.

Thank you verymuch, bb
