Lo folks, first time poster here...just got me an XDA IIs O2 second hand but my sim is Orange, so i need to unlock then change ROMs to Orange.
Have been reading posts here and on wiki, so far i know i need to first download and run itsme's all-in-one unlocker right?
The next step is where i need advice. What are the most recommended rom packs for me to use? doesnt have to be the latest beta roms, just something to start me up down the orange m2000 route. If you guys name the files i need i'll take it from there and get em from the ftp.
I'm also confused by the wording of the rom names in ftp...should i be using the "upgrade" rom files? I'm trying to wipe all O2 stuff and replace with Orange.
Many thx in advance
has any one got o2's xda exec original rom? I tried to get it with mtty but it doesn't work.
hello there
just guide me on how to extract it from my phone and i can do it. My phone should be arriving from 02 on monday (fingers crossed), so you can have a fresh ROM.
also can you give guidance on best sources on 'cooking' the rom for the universal, only 2 weeks ago i sorted my XDA2s out now i have to start all over again!
cheers
I have no idea how to extract that's why I want to download it. I already have the xda exec in my hands now.
:roll:
i made : light power reset but it tell me erorr country id
why?
:roll:
use the MaUpgrade_noID.exe to start the upgrade. It is available from the ftp section of this site. I did this yesterday and it worked first time
Hi Weasel, what do you think of the Qtek ROM? I recently changed from the O2 ROM to the Imate version, would be interested to know what you think are the Pros and Cons of your latest ROM?
Thanks
Phil
Hi
I have just gone through the update process (to UNI_QTEK_13077_176_10900_WWE_Ship.exe) with my xda exec as I was on the latest o2 rom and I followed the instructions here:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/inde...tion On How To Upgrade with Bootloader method
The bit I hadn't picked up before was the .nbf files have to be in the same directory as the rest of the update and MaUpgradeUt_noID - I deleted the radio version witin the folder (radio_.nbf_) and then pasted in the 1.0.9 one which I downloaded speratly - hit MaUpgradeUt_noID and everything completed within 30 mins or so.
The xda is like a new machine compared to the old o2 rom I was on as it's soooo much quicker.
Oh i was worried about not having my o2 settings but if you download this cab file and run this cab[/url after you have finished setting it up on qtek rom you get all your setting back for o2 (choose basic when using cab not corporate as that doesn't seem to work!
Hi Andy, what do you think of the Qtek ROM? I recently changed from the O2 ROM to the iMate version, would be interested to know what you think are the Pros and Cons of your latest ROM?
sorry for the delay in responding:
My first impressions of the QTEK ROM were fine but.... on Sunday, the phone just stopped working completely - no signal etc. Hard reset was required to get it working again. I've disabled error reporting and will load my software back on later today.

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.
Rom

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?

We don't have a "magic" ROM which can fix your device. It is hard work to open it and to reflash the rom directly to the flash chip...

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.
BRB.
Hello to all
i've tried different WM6 Roms but i'm noct convinced to use it yet.
That's why i'm trying to find a way to downgrade to WM5.
I know that there are several how-tos but none worked yet.
I already tried the opposite way via uspl to downgrade. no success yet.
WM5 Rom is here, when trying to downgrade i get the error message 260 which means no connection to the device. i'm using the same machine for downgrading as for upgrading, nothing but the Rom on the phone has changed.
Currently i'm using the o2-xda-orbit german rom.
If anybody has a clue what to do to get the old stuff back, thx in advance

You can downgrade your O2 Orbit successfully if you have Original German ROM (WM5) which is available somewhere in this forum. I can't remember which thread but if you do some search I am sure that you will find it.
I have just found Original German O2 Orbit ROM here : ftp://xda:[email protected]/Uploads/Upload/Official XDA Orbit ROM
Thank you for your answers!
I own a HTC P3300 Artemis.
Using USPL and the original o2 german wm6 rom i flashed it with WM6.
I already downloaded a german wm5 rom, my problem right now is that i cannot by any unknown circumstances get this rom on my phone.
No matter whether i use uspl before trying to flash the original rom or if i don't use uspl the result remains the same.
The update utility keeps telling me that it is not possible to connect to my smartphone.
Active Sync/ Mobile devices center connection is working fine though.

You can try with this Original HTC Artemis WM5 ROM here : http://rapidshare.com/files/19322112/HTC_1.12.405.01_026790_WWE_SHIP.rar
Let us know if this help you.
Thy to all, i made it!
Main problem seemed to be my os!
even though i already flashed using vista as os this time it didn't work out.
I used my other computer running xp and it worked on the first run!
greets blue
... hear that
i recognize that problem... even though i always sync with my laptop (Vista) i use another com (XP) to flash..
Don´t know why but it seems alot have experienced this prob.
I have bought a htc3300 from a dealer that i find at skroutz but after 1 day i had lost the 2nd language keyboard so i took it back to the dealer to fix the problem he said that wm6 is free to upgrade so let passed it but he put the touch htc software that don't work good how can i downgrade to wm5 again please help it's only 2 days mobile !!!!
well after many pockets of tobaccos i fix it with the Original HTC Artemis WM5 ROM here : http://rapidshare.com/files/19322112...0_WWE_SHIP.rar thanxs very much it finds the image version of htc touch and make a downgrade that was that the upsl cannot do ,the upls reload the same version that had before maybe because it didn't know the previus
Humm??
The UPLS is not a ROM??
When you run UPLS it sets the CID registration, so you can flash any ROM you want - but offcouse you still have to get the ROM
you 're right after upsl you can downgrade or upgrade... many tnx for info...
