Noobs beware!
As a number have been flashing their devices with various roms not from their own carrier or country or cooked roms and bricking their device - I put up this sticky. Your device must be cid unlocked first before you do this. This applies to the coming wm6 roms to - if the rom is not specific to your device - i.e. if you try to flash the upcoming htc 3300 wm6 rom on O2 orbit - you must cid unlock first - with imei check or you will end up with a BRICK!
This does not apply if you are only updating the os http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=299154 or radio.
cid = country id i.e. locked to that country/language/vendor
cid unlock for the artemis is here with USPL http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=311403 (thanks pof)
or here http://www.imei-check.com/c3unlock.php (costs though)
Bricked devices
If you have flashed your device and not cid unlocked it, your device maybe salvagable if you can get it into bootloader mode.
Hold down the voice speed dial button and soft reset - you should then enter bootloader mode 'multicolored' screen'
If you do, attach device to pc via usb cable (a small usb will appear bottom left of screen) and flash factory rom. (run rom executable or RUU updater from pc) You do not need to be activesynced to do this.

Hi Folks,
Firstly many thanks for everyone's freely given time! Great Forum!
There seems to be a lot of confusion about who and what can be flashed with the German official ROM and then with Bepe's creation.
Can we try to clear some of the ambiguity for us simple folk? Might stop some of the repeated questions littering threads in both related artemis sections.
So, many thanks to anyone who can clarify the situation by providing definitive answers to the following questions!
(1) Can an 02 Orbit from, say, the UK or Holland be flashed with either the German and/or Bepe's ROM, even if it is CID Locked (i.e. same devcie and carrier, different country).
(2) Can a non-Orbit O2 device be flashed with either the German or bepe's ROM, even if it is CID Locked (i.e. different devcie but same carrier).
(3) Is there a fall back Rom available for non-German O2 Orbits should the upgrade fail?
Again, many thanks for your time.
Cheers - Adam.

any help anyone ?
By what i read "wrong vendor" means CID locked right ? but what EXACTLY is CID locked definition ?? i CAN put any sim card inside my HTC P-3300, whether from SFR operator (france) or Proximus (belgium) one... so why do i have this wrong vendor when trying to upgrade to WM6 german rom ?
Take a look to this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=299154 I tried it, and now I have wm6 on my HTC P3300, it's true that you can't have upgrades to radio or extrom, but meanwhile I can use wm6

cid = country id i.e. locked to that country/language/vendor thats why cid needs unlocking before flashing diff any of aboves roms.

is it just me or is any one on this forum a bit sceptical of a merchant who so brazenly operates their business under the assumption that all potential customers are all fraudsters/criminal scum? is there no - more customer friendly- merchant who can perform this much valued service?

My HTC has no vendor since I can use all SIMs from different vendors, now I upgraded from HTC Spanish version to HTC WWE version, so Vendor and Language (plus location?) locks are disabled?

Hello,
I would like to Upgrade my O2 XDA Mini S with Windows Mobile 6 (localized / German version). I hardly searched for such a WM6 Upgrade but there seems to be no final version for my device and german language.
I figured out that there is an WM6 OS Upgrade for the XDA Orbit and XDA Trion (coming soon). Might it be possible to flash only an OS-ROM for WM6 extracted from one of these O2 ROM updates? I was able to extract the OS-Image and I already backed up my current ROM using aWizard. aWizard also supports flashing a single OS-ROM only.
Some people in this forum already said I might brick my device. Is it possible or not to flash the OS ROM? Is it risky to give it a try?
Do you know a final working German Upgrade for the XDA Mini S (Qtek 9100)?
Best Regards
Gabriel
Hello
I am in Bootloader mode right now and I started the updater but it says it can't connect. I see the device in Windows and my Artemis says it sees a USB connection (it says "USB" on the bottom of the screen in the white stripe).
What do I have to do for it to start working for a change?
I think I found the problem: First, it would be wise to close mtty . Then it is important to reboot and after entering Bootloader mode to connect USB not while booting. After trying it a dozen times it suddenly worked.
Please, could someone explain how I can unlock the CID with USPL? It starts the batch, when it's done I have a black screen with the Linux penguin and it says loaded. When the RUU tries to connect, though, the device doesn't respond. So I take it the process doesn't actually get finished...
I think this sticky has become useless, there is a reasonably fool-proof way to flash CID locked devices these days
Hi I Try To Flash My Htc P3300 (bricked) With Factory Roms And Negative Result The Process Stop At 2%.
Can Anybody Help ?
Just to inform you guys that i tried the USPL Method 3 times and always got an error message UPDATE ERROR (i think it was error number 270 ??).
Well, that was because after the DOS mode went until 100, and the dialog box for the ROM Update Utility appeared, this dialog box ask to wait for the PDA to be activesynced before presing the "UPDATE", so i was waiting for the PDA to reconnect to activesync (while in a black screen mode) before pressing update . THAT was the mistake. Don't wait for it to RE connect to activesync (strange right ?) and just press the NEXT and UPDATE without waiting anything.
THEN it worked i just upgrade to WM6 without VENDOR ID error anymore thanks to the USPL method
just got a dopod m700 for my wife i know it is a g4 ppc hence will this zip file work on it to get the cid unlocked or do i have to follow a similiar procedure as i had to for my wizard
sorry i got my answer
please ignore my earlier question

Last night I flash my Dopod M700 to WM6 but after reboot it only enter to the boot flash screen showing IPL SPL 1.11 OS 3.7 etc......
I did unlock the CID but the flashing of WM6 seems not ok.
Then I enter to the bootloader mood and flash the WWE WM5.0 of HTC M700 rom. It did turn the M700 back to WM5.0 and then I flash it with WM 6.0 again.
However, I forgot to unlock CID again before flashing. Then now the device stuck in the boot screen with SPL 1.28 OS 3.7 etc......
I still can enter to bootloader mood, but I have tried to heal the device by flashing it with the WWE WM 5.0 rom of HTC M700 again. But it cannot be flashed again!!!! Error message came out that the rom is not for my device!!
Help!!!!!!!!!
Is the wm5 wwe rom the factory rom for your device or are you from another country?
HI MATES,

How to enter to the bootloader you can find in Wiki
But it is not necessarily to enter to this mode for flashing, just run flashing utility and if there will be no errors, you can flash your device without bootloader.
But I suggest read all information from author of this ROM

If someone can help me ...please .. The device is not even mine; I was trying to help a friend and now I don't know what to do; I really don't have money to send it to imei-check or anything else. The artemis was in german . the problem ,now : was from t-mobile germany or t-mobile austria ? I really don't know beacause the device is second-hand and i don't have who to ask ..

i bricked my phone once over and i was able to fix it by this method, i plugged the phone into the computer and entered bootloader mode and i pressed ctrl/alt/delete and found wcescom or something like that and pressed end task.. i then ran the update and it flashed the phone back to normal. after that i ran the Hard SPL program and unlocked the cid and then flashed with a custom rom..
hope this helps.

forgot to mention...
dont know anything about german and austrian rom's so you'll have to do a bit of research if those dont work for you...
sorry!
the links don't work (
thanks a lot .. I will try if I can get the roms ....

i see this
IPL 3.13.0001
SPL 3.13.000
your phone load into bootloader. as for me. you download rom .official rom. and load it.
something may help
...
go here for instructions on what to do, look for BRICKED DEVICE.
the original rom you need is the HTC WM6 Spain rom.
once you have flashed your original rom do the USPL 1.11.cmon!
only after USPL is it safe to flash any other cooked rom.
Hello XDA comunity,
I have little bit problem with phone from my friend. He bought in germany HTC One V and wants czech localisation in this phone. This language is not there in this phone, so I tried solve it by reflash phone by any rom, which has czech language.
I unlocked bootloader, flashed CWWM recovery, but I cannot get into recovery. I spent a lot of time today by trying everything possible. I Tried TWRP too and any custom CWWM in threads from people with same problem. Everytime when I try boot in recovery, there is message, that this build is only for purposes of HTC and phone freezes or reboots.
When I tried to flash any shipped RUU ROM, I get error 155 firstly, then I relocked bootloader and error 130.
So I cannot flash another RUU ROM neither custom ROM, because I cannot start recovery.
Has anybody an idea? if you will need more info about phone, I will post it there.
Thank you very much!
Have you tried this...

Is it Primo U or Primo C?
When it's stuck right there, make sure you also flashed the right kernel...
KREDDYT: thanks for tip, I will try this.
It is Primo U and CID is VODAP102, can be this CID source of troubles?
//Edit: I got message about recovery mode as before, but now it boot into recovery mode, so I can do backup - thank you one more, I will try flash rom throught it...
//Edit2: Flashed custom ROM throught recovery, so I have czech language now. Still cannot flash HTC RUU ROM, but I will not experiment probably with this.
