Old Gene / New Gene - P3400 ROM Development

Hey guys!
Whats the difference?
I checked on the WIKI and couldnt find anything.
I have a normal P3400 that i would like to flash to WM 6.1..........
What would be the best ROM to use?
Thaaaanks!

There is no difference in outer looks or hardware of the two. The only difference is in the firmware of the device. Before, people use to believe that devices that came with WM 5 originally or with ONBL and SPL versions below 1.10.000 are old gene and the later ones are new gene. but this has proved wrong lately. Actually there are 2 firmwares for gene and it has become a convention to call them old gene and new gene

Thanks man! Wich nice Updated ROM would you recommend? Im sure mine is the old gene, because it has WM 5 onnit?

dont asume chek first
hi
pls chek and make sure because my gene is around 7 months old as per the old nos it was new gene and it is aP3400i which came with wm6 preloaded but when i did HSPL it turned out to be a old gene so i think u should chek before doing anything read Krazys stiky and do what it says then find out if urs is old or new gene and do the needful

DUDE YOU WANT TO TROUBLESHOOT AND STILL NOT POSTING ANY INFO ABOUT YOUR PHONE? WHATS WRONG WITH YOU?
Sorry for the caps, but Please post ONBL, SPL etc if possible
then only a solution can be derived. Post everything that you can remember aboout your phone as well as what is written on the sticker at the bottom of the packaging box of your phone.
And please dont post full serial no, only the first 3 numbers like HT8xxx or HT7xxx etc.
See you.

my phones serial no is starting like HT807XXXXXX
but its not P3400i, its was having WM5 by default
even hving HT8XX serial i was successfully using all the ROMs Including fusion, PDAViet etc etc, ther was no problem
but problem started when i upgraded my phone to WM6.1 Stock ROM
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=461351
i think this ROM is provided by u.
it was shown that rom is for devices with serial HT8XX,
so my phone is also HT8XX, thn i gave it a try, upgrade was successful,
but after ungrade device rebooted and my phone got stuck at bootloader only.
Showing info like this..
ONBL 1.07.0000
SPL 1.07.0000

Just flash it with WM6 Original ROM (India) guys, I don't see much improvements in WM6.1, and your SPL is original. Do it in the BootLoader Screen, and flash it via RUU.

hey i tried upgrading to original wm6 but it always shows error at 2%, "Invalid Vendor ID" n my phone gets restart.
Budyy i have said on that page that i had only tested it on my P3400i and its working great till date. HTC has created such a mess with all these 3 versions. I think the mystry is now solved, and Those with the older gene with WM5 ROM but Serial No HT8xx can install the WM6.1 stock (look-a-like) ROM only if ONBL version greater than or equal to 1.10.000.
I'll update the info in WM 6.1 Stock ROM thread too. That ROM is not provided by me, i just copied it and mirrored it from 4PDA.ru so cant tell you much.
@npiyanut: Yeh you are right, but i think instead of flashing WM 6 stock ROM he should flash the Original WM5 ROM as the original WM6 ROM for P3400 doesn't have the OnBL, SPL etc updates. It just has the OS and extROM parts and that i have confirmed by dumping the ROM myself. SO WM5 ROM will solve the problem i guess and then he can continue with any other ROM he had tried successfully in his previous experience. What do you say?

Bro "
Feeling very sad for your Phone.
Can you give me the screen shot where you stuck?
I know u provided all necessary Info ,but pls it may help me out.
Take a snap of your phone screen with another phone and upload it.
I flashed that rom that u have flashed (WM6.1 stock rom mirrored by crazy_about_tech.) and mine also stuck in boot loader,
but immediately just flash back Fusion 9 and my phone alive again.
Please don't blame anyone for anything.
Here, all are together for helping each other and sharing their PDA experiences not making anyone's phone DEAD.

i tried Mtty i dont know how many times but in last the error comes
and one more thing.....tht unbrick solution is for P3400i and newer GENEs (HT 8XX), even my phone's serial no starts frm HT8XXX, although it is old version.....ONPL is 1.07.0.0 ...
while in newer genes it is 1.10.0.0 n more
so this solution wont apply on mine...
BUT Still i gave it a try.......not workin for me...

Oh ,earlier you were using wm 6.1 by PhamQuang ,that's why your splash screen changed but this is not a big issue,Once your phone alive again this can be solved in minutes,
Try this(I don't know you tried it or not)
plug ur phone to PC and reset ur phone keeping the camera and the power button pressed.
If you see the tricolor screen with a Text USB in left bottom corner of your phone, leave the buttons or try again ,Once tricolor screen appears then only you can flash your original Wm5 (24 march 2007.exe) because your SPL is original till now.

so...now my phone is OK....it has original wm5 once again.,,,
and i will flash to Fusion 9.0 rom tonight.....

[GUIDE]How to know if your device is an Old or New GENE [Updated with new method]

First thanks to orefcov for this.
How to:
Dowload this file: test spl

2. Run bk1.lnk on device. File bk_06_0001.img is appear on device.

Click to collapse
Open the bk_06_0001.img in the notepad and search for this string: "bootloader version" (without quotes)
When you find it, on "Built on" check date. If your date is < march 26 2008 then you have an old gene. If your date is >= march 26 2008 then you have a new gene.
Sorry for any problem that the old method has caused.
With this method is more secure to determine wich model you have.

This test was not made by me. I used it to know the model of my gene and it worked. So I re-posted it here.
But if your device has the serial HT8xxx and already came with the WM6 most likely it would be a new gene. The test would not be necessary.
Could you send me your bk_06_0001.img. I want to analyse it.
I'll update the first post with a warning.
its not so
hi
my phone is 8XXX slno and while i did the HSPL (thanks to help from Krazy) i found out that even though my phone was around 7 mths old came with WM6 and p3400i it turned out to be old gene so is suggest( i have also posted a thread on the same in this forum) so kindly dont assume new or old gene by ur nos u need to test with ramersnows testers or use Krays stiky and do the what it says it also has all the tools
this is just for ur info giving u my experience thats all

Other phones are having it faster because the quoted ones by you have bigger stomach (ROM memory) so its a bit simpler to cook this huge giant OS for them. For GENE, the cutting and trimming takes a lot of time. Be thankful that its even running on gene because of developers like Ankit here, otherwise you would never be able to see wm 6.5 on gene.

Yes you can flash any of the ROMs from this forum.
No offence, but do you honestly think that this is the right thread to ask the question?

Don't get mad. Actually its hilarious. In atleast once in 15 days, you will find one guy or the other bricking his or device by wrongly patching.
Come to think of it, I have seen around three or more pple in the last month alone 'updating' the SPL of their old gene to oref (even though there Gene was not complaining with .olip)
I wonder what they would have done when we joined this forum
ur right buddy @addicted

If you are a speed fanatic like me, you can go for upto 20% of your Core CPU Speed. But do not go beyond that, as it will fry your CPU and drain the battery too. Better use CPU Scalar and set the max speed to 240 MHz and Min speed to 110 MHz (or near about). this gives good speed and performance (balanced).
Hope it helps
Sumitspro wm 6.5 not working

do not downgrade to wm5.
apart from wanting to check the original OEM apps out (via dump) to add into custom roms for smoother operation i don't see why people want to flash these roms onto their devices...
why not opt for newer, stable build releases rather than downgrade your device to wm5...(its like buying a brand new laptop with the best available config just to run win95 on it)
and if you've read the stickies in the forum, you'd know that it isn't exactly safe or recommended...so why tempt fate...
i am right, ain't i??
Hi,
RUU_Gene_hTC_Asia_India_1.17.720.1_4.1.13.34_02.79.90_Ship.exe is for old Gene I guess.
Can anybody confirm it ?
Regards,
Duron23
