because this is a German ROM "CE Rom 1.40.01" Does it mean that the operation system will be in German? if so is it possiable to get an english version.
Thanx for your help.

Hi Pedro
If you ever get a solution that works PLEASE let me know.
I have one of these devices as well and the bloody thing keeps slipping into 'divert all calls' without any input from me.
Also poor Blue Tooth sound is REALLY annoying.

Hi indra9110,
I now get an error 123: Radio Image File Checksum Error.

Vodafone are bloody useless.
I have just spent 27 minutes on the phone with Vodafone trying to persuade them that they actually sell this phone and should support it.
The latest they have suggested is that they will replace my V1620 with a Qtec 9090!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What a waste of time and effort....
Robin

I did the same when they gave us the qtek 2020i, we had so many issues with the devices so they gave us these new ones and basically told us that there is no support available for it.
They will just keep replacing them then i guess.

Pedro,
Trying to help, but really confused...
You're in the UK, so I assume you got your V1620 from them. I'd never heard of that, so I typed it in their web search engine and it comes up with... nothing...
You list your device as a PH20B2. That's what I've got, and it's a Blue Angel, so replacing it with a QTek9090 is pointless as it's the same thing!
VF UK did rebadge the Blue Angel (aka QTek 9090) as the VPx, starting sometime around a year ago, but only users who berated their lack of a PDA strategy seemed to get one. As you can see, it still has never made their website, comes up as unknown.
For your info, if you go to the xda-developers Blue Angel site, use the QTek 9090 1.40 WWE ROM (which includes the 1.12 radio). I can confirm that that worked on my PH20B2.
One quirk I'll also alert you to is unlocking. First, check that your unit is indeed simlocked, as some weren't. Second, "maimach's" universal unlock code works with PH20B1's but not the (seemingly rarer) PH20B2's.
FYI - I'm having some difficulty with the 1.13 ROM update, but that's a minor irritation, and probably something I'm doing wrong.
Hope this helps.

Well I have a Vodafone box with Vodafone labels all over it and all the details say it is a V1620.
As did the brochure.
But talking to anyone at Vodaphone about it is a total waste of time.
The problem is I am not savy when it comes to these updates.
I need something REALLY simple that says 'install this' and it will all work.
I have not seen that yet for my device.
Oh it IS simlocked to Vodafone but I don't care as I am ON vodafone.
Robin

OK, first port of call is:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BA_1.40.00_Upgrade
Have a good read of the how to's... print 'em...
I selected the Qtek 1.40.147 download, as recommended by 'jbn' who gave me the confidence to do it (top bloke).
Just follow the instructions...
Make sure you back up everythin before you start as it wipes the PDA.
Also, write down the Vodafone GPRS/CSD settings etc. Saves a call to VF helpdesk...
Takes 10 mins. Well worthwhile...
Any yes, Vodafone UK did release a device they don't understand, are too afraid to market mainstream, don't have anyone to support, and don't provide updates... There's no sign of a specialist internal tech group, despite months of trying. Something to remember when your contract is up.
I'm not bitter, but I was a little bent out of shape till I discovered this site! Now I'm OK.
br

I GOT IT SORTED OUT :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
I'LL POST IT WHEN I GET A LITTLE TIME I'M CREATING THE STEP BY STEP NOTES FOR IT.

Pedro,
Nice job. Before you go set the thing up just so, try and add the Radio 1.13 ROM, as it requires a hard reset. That will save you wasted time. Let me know how you get on. br

Okay have not done Radio 1.13 ROM yet oops, need to look into it.
Thanx for the reminder - any ideas on how to add it on it's own or do i have to do the whole process again?

You can just add it on its own - as in the Wiki link I sent you. I have not done this yet, as I made the mistake of putting everything back as I liked it after the 1.40, then realised the Radio ROM required a hard reset. Planning unfortunately really was the last phase of implementation!
br + good upgrading.

Thanks bossye....
There seems to be no plan by Vodafone to upgrade the VPx or V1620. Development of WM2003 does not have much priority compared with WM5 and there is precious little chance of them providing such an image for these models. Personally I am not yet convinced that we are missing anything there.
As noted, although these are the PH20B2 and differ slightly from other models that are more widely supported on this site (for example the SP unlocker does not at time of writing handle this model, but you can always ask), the generic images for iMate PDA2K and Qtek 9090 seem to be reasonably OK. I have tried both and currently run the PDA2K image. However I did not bother with the radio upgrade. I would only be interested in solving the problem of echo when used with Bluetooth car kits and this is not solved with that upgrade according to most users.
Pedro, the upgrade steps are documented in Wiki, including the use of the MaUpgradeUt_NoID.exe. This may save you some writing.
Hope this helps.

i can't upgrade the Radio 1.13 ROM or anything now it's not accepting anything, it just says congratulations and do a hard reset but everything remains the same.

O2 Orbit Original WM5 Rom 1.25.206.2 found - SD card image

Hello Everyone, Have spent 6 Days hunting for "O2 Orbit Original WM5 Rom ARTE200 1.25.206.2" with little success
I am now putting a bounty on the head of this ROM in the form of a £40 Paypal transaction. I will make instant Payment after the ROM has been verified as the genuine ROM and then make the ROM available to all though Rapidshare, and with some luck help to un-brick a lot of O2 Orbits before O2 UK WM6 is released.
Contact me on [email protected]
Problem caused by - Updating ROM without running USPL on a CID Locked O2 Orbit, The device is USB Bootloader contactable but requires the identical original ROM to restore "Error 244 Device ID"
Many thanks to everyone for their continued help and support.

MOD EDIT - SEE POST 12 OF THIS THREAD

the only way you will find this rom, is either on o2 xda website after a WM6 update and hopefully they will do this as a downgrade option after upgrade to wm6.
or
the only other way is to know someone who works for o2 uk, there repair centre will have the only copy, and the only way to maybe even get a copy, is if you are good friends with someone in that department.
currently, there is no rom, for o2 anyway, yet.
goodluck finding it though, you just never know.

There is already a dump availalbe, but no known way to bypass the bootloader security to load it.
How are the guys at IMEI-Check unbricking them? Either they have a WM5 O2 rom (which means it has leaked) or are they hot-swaping/reflashing roms, or using some vulnerability in the bootloader?
Just out of interest, does anyone have an XDA that has been unbricked by IMEI-Check and did it show any signs of being disassembled?

good guy!
thank you very much!

I would be very very grateful if this ROM appeared!

well, well...
not sure if i'm 100% if this is ground breaking stuff, but i just received my xda from o2 repair centre and when i went to put my sd card in phone there was one in it already from o2 which has WM5 image on it?!

This is indeed quite interesting, it is obviously a SD flash used for restoring the Orbit. If you could make an image of the SD card I'm sure there are many people here who would be eternally grateful.

well, this will be done as soon as i get home tonight, if someone is willing to host the file i will make it available,

I Just UNBRICKED my orbit with this
Hi. A BIG BIG THANX !!!!! I just unbricked my orbit with this. I tried to flash it with WM6 and failed to run the USPL and bricked it. Now using this original WM5 put it back where it was before I bricked it. I had usee Artemis USPL and replaced the RUU_USPL_signed.nbh with this and worked like a charm from boot loader. (record button and softreset) Now I can flash anything I want and bring it back if I brick it again. Thanx a lot. YeeeeeHa

Hey guys,
I'm new to this forum but I must say that I am very impressed abt the works done. I do have a very expensive brick!! Ya! Ya.. my orbit is a BRICK. well I didn't do it, A friend of mine did.. tried to flash WM6 mini O2 into the orbit and VIOLA!. A BRICK!! Well! I knew this wud happen but hey, it wasn't me who did it.Hence I'm in this forum day in day out. tried every possible thing. flashing with SD or MTTY, every thing U guys had offer but got the same device ID error. so far no hope, but am currently downloading the image thru rapidshare http://makus.folijka.pl/OrbitO2UK.rar. Have to get a rapidshare account though. Hope this works.... will post soon.... keep ur fingers crossed.
A Big Hug to step0011. for a hope.
And the rest for the XDA developers.. all i can offer is my wallet.cause I'm not a software developer, but am into hardware repairing. And I will post the results if any for u guys who keeps this forum alive and kicking.
cheers pof and to all.

Another happy WM5 Orbit user again. It has beena chore using an OLD spve200 for the last few weeks. Taught me a valuable lesson though.
Thanks for the up.

Bravo! And well done to the O2 service bod who forgot to take the MicroSD card out!
Now how do I use it? Put it on a SD card and switch on?

i just replaced the german rom file with the uk orbit one (renamed to match original) and then ran the update from windows (phone in bootloader via usb).
A little suprised it actually worked in vista!

Yippeeeeeeeeee!!!!
Fisrt of all whoever he is he owes step0011 40 bucks..
Lots and lots of thanks to step0011 for providing the ROM image and also to the guy who forgot to remove the SD card. He had made a lot of people happy.
Hi guys.
I did it. My orbit is alive and kicking. there is nothing to it, just download the ROM and run RUU. and VIOLA! good as knew.below are the details
bootloader (this is all I can see now but before when it was bricked it showed the GSM no. too )
IPL 1.25.0001
SPL 1.25.0000
Device information
ROM version: 1.25.206.2 WWE
ROM Date : 10/4/06
Radio version : 02.67.90
Protocol version : 4.1.13.28
ExtROM version : 1.25.206.10
Works like a charm. to think that I wud have to wait for official ROM release.
Now I can do anything I want. I can brick it as much as I can. and flash the WM6 ROM. Now I am thinking of tinckering with the ROM cooking steps u guys are telling abt. I'm going to customise my own ROM. . First of all to superCID the orbit. wish me luck.
much thanks to all who keeps this forum alive.

MDA COMPACT III Help Help help help!!!!!

I have been reading threads for 3 days. I am not new to gadgets, but I am new to the german language. I just biught a T-Mobile MDA Compact III-german. I need to convert to English and would like if possible to enable WiFi if I can. Would someone who is very smart send me-
1) The files I need
2) Step by Step directions
3) The best idea on GPS software and loading.
Help Help Help! I admit I am a NEWB, but without newbs, the rest of you wouldnt feel smart!!!!
Thanks for any help!!!!

If you don't mind loosing the T-mobile add-ons you can download the English version of the WM6 ROM from the HTC site. Be aware that you will start with a 'clean' sustem and that you have to configure your connections to be able to use GPRS and internet. At the site you can download the manual with the information about configuring your device including WiFi.
I'm not sure what you mean with "The best idea on GPS software and loading", are you talking about navigation software?
G.

I tried registering my phone with the serial number on my phone to get the update from the HTC website. Even though it is the equivalent of a HTC
P3300 phone, it wasnt recognised because it was sold as a T-Mobile device. So I couldnt get the download. Any other ideas?
Anyone have the file saved? Can media markt change it to english? I would rather do it myself just for learning purposes for future changes.

Softbank Japan ROM

Hi everyone,
I picked up the Softbank X02HT but it came with the Chinese ROM.
Since I'm using it in Japan, I'd like to switch over to the Japanese ROM.
I wasnt able to find the Softbank Japanese ROM anywhere online... perhaps someone had a suggestion?
Thanks for your help!

also very much interested in that
i am in a similar situation and already posted several requests about switching my Dopod ROM to a Softbank one or at least get all the important functions of the Softbank ROM working on my Dopod 730...but so far no reply.
if you receive any enlightenment please share it with me.
cheers

beefandcorn,
Im in the same boat as I picked it up in HK to use here in Tokyo
kinda ironic how it was setup to use here and now it only partially functions.
I cant seem to find a ROM anywhere for it as well
some of the settings from the X01HT will work.
Im tempted to go to softbank and get them to reflash it back but i have a feeling ill get busted for having an unlocked one.
The keyboard layout is f'd up not all the keys match, I can send SMS but cannot receive, and I cannot access internet via 3G...
What is your experience like so far in Japan for the dopod rom?

Using foreign ROM on Softbank network
Actually, I’m also using the HK ROM on the Softbank branded X02HT in Japan.
SMS and 3G Packet service works okay but it seems the MMS is impossible to get working.
Just to confirm, here are my settings for internet access.
In “Connections”, I have a connection that “Connects To” “The Internet”.
The access point is “softbank”, the username is “[email protected]” and password is “softbank”.
In “Proxy”, I didn’t have anything setup.
This is the paid packet service, where you pay per use.
I think you also need Softbank to have your plan include “packet service”.
It looks like you can also setup the flat rate internet service but I haven’t tried that.
Sorry, I’m not sure about SMS issues.
Is it possible to dump the ROM from a retail Softbank X02HT?
Then, we could flash the official ROM onto the phones and all the problems go away.
Hope it helps…

i agree
yes if somebody could provide a ROM dump of the softbank rom that would help... well also need to figure out HOW to flash it then...
The company I bought my phone from (mail order from the US) offered me to reflash the phone to the Softbank ROM but it is not cheap and I also would need to send it back to the US for that (and pay for the DHL/UPS costs)
So I would prefer doing it myself (if its not such a hassle)

Yea. I got my X02HT in HK, and although everything works fine here on AT&T, I'm having an issue with remembering where some of the symbols are.. since some of them don't match up... any luck finding the Original ROM?
It seems that the original Japanese ROM also has English. and I would assume that this ROM maps the Keys correctly... as opposed to the Dopod ROM installed now...

Please HLP w/ Tmobile WIZA200 in JAPAN...cant get signal
I'm starting to think there is no solution I have unlocked and uploaded and reloaded and re-unlocked, etc but still the same problem...My phone can not access the cellular network. I did a manual search and my phone does not acknowledge the JP Softbank network. I have put different kinds of ROM's and OS upgrades, etc, but still no success. I'm starting to think that these great unlocked PDA's only work in Europe and North America and not in JAPAN.
I have seen several other threads with others having the same problem so I am going to try to ask this question in several different threads.
I have no errors and everything works fine in the process, just like everybody says it does, but still nothing for acquiring a signal. It just either shows an exclamation point or searching dots. I have compared the various carrier options on my phone to other Softbank phones and everything is the same networks except acknowledging the Softbank network.
I'm praying there is some smart person out there who can figure this out...PLEASE...PRETTY PLEASE...

Works on DoCoMo but NOT on Softbank
I also have a Dopod ROM and funny thing is, the phone works like a charm on the DoCoMo Network (Phone and SMS) but when I pop in a Vodafone SIM it cannot even connect to the Softbank network
Very Strange...

we have a thread going on this issue and maybe you can add some input.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=1942813&posted=1#post1942813

I had a Softbank X02HT. Stumbled my way thru a DOPOD "cook (?)" and used it in Australia and Guam on GSM. Came back to Japan, threw in the softbank card...CHANGED THE NETWORK BAND...to Japan and AUTO. Worked perfect on DOPOD ROM. No 3G. I am working that right now.....

Does this mean my Excalibur is BRANDED for T-Mobile???

I bought my Excalibur from a carrier in Mexico called Movistar, but, as I explored the USB settings on Windows when my Excalibur was plugged, I found that the device appeared connected with the following name:
High Tech Computer - SPV C400 / T-Mobile SDA GSM / GPRS Pocket PC
Does this mean that my Excalibur is officialy branded for T-Mobile???
If so, a T-Mobile original RUU would work to flash my Excalibur right???
Could you post a rapidshare link for T-Mobile's original ROM???
I'm desperate, I bricked my phone and I can only get it back by flashing it with the original ROM, please, hurry and anwer!!! I BEG YOU!!

Doesn't tmobile ask for the IMEI number before you can download upgrade?
is wm 6 from tmobile ok?

i have wm 6 upgrade from tmobile if that helps. Not sure how to get it to you

e-mail
[email protected]
But the one I really need is the original 1.15.517.1 that came with my Excalibur...
...I tried a TMO US WM6 ROM but no luck... anyway, I'll take whatever help you can provide!!
Appreciate it!

Tip
velascoperroni if I were you I would just return the phone already. You might want to just accept defeat.
You screwed yourself by flashing a WM5 to a WM6.1 rom before flashing to a WM6. From what I read you must have been impatient or somehow your usb cord unplugged itself during the middle of a flash of the HTC WM6 1.33 rom. It's now stuck and a brick. I've read more posts like this than I can remember. The golden rule to modding is doing a backup before you do anything. Sprite mobile would have been the way to go. Especially with your not so easy to find original rom. I'm not trying to be harsh or mean but lesson learned. Now go return your phone while you still can.
Best regards...

NOOOOO!!!
I will never give up!!!
No, really, I'm seriously considering it... In fact there was a problem with the USB connection when I was flashing it!
Yeah, I should have backed up my original ROM, but to be honest, it never crossed my mind (I didn't even knew about it or how to)
Today I wen't to Movistar and they gave me several HTC service centers here in Mexico, I suposse they may have the original ROM and they may get it fixed but I'm afraid technichians here in Mexico won't have a clue (it has happened to me before that they have no clue and I know more than them for just what I read in the forums, i.e. xbox modding)
Also, I'm worried I voided my warranty... Today I told Movistar about nothing, I just asked for the service centers addresses. What could be a good excuse? "I was listening to music while bluethooting and playing solitarie and it went blank"?
Now, there may be one last way to go: You mentioned sprite mobile for backing up the original ROM, is it too intrusive and/or hard? I can get a hold of a friend's Movistar Excalibur to backup his ROM and use it on mine (it's exactly the same) but I don't wanna screw his phone up and end up with two bricks (specially because he really is a friend of a friend). Is there a tutorial around here? would you (or some other helpfull reader) post it on this thread?
Last but not least, I want to thank everyone that has tried to help, besides a bricked Excalibur I got great knowledge about CID, upgrading, flashing, phone carriers, etc. Three days ago I had no idea and I thought upgrading to WM6 would be a piece of cake! I hope all my posts and your answers would be helpfull for al noobs around with problems alike!
Nonetheless everything posted above: If someone has a 1.15.517.1 original ROM from Movistar or T-Mobile or O2... please, pleaaaase.. I BEG: send it to [email protected]
