Bricked doing the WM6 upgrade, but bootloader is ok, can any kind hearted person help!
If it is an O2 Orbit, then not available, you will have to use one of the others available from the site.
Jeff
Understood.
I have got into the bootloader and confirmed with MTTY that my Orbit is CID Locked (#FF) so is there anything I can do now except wait for O2 UK to produce a WM6 ROM (which will presumably work as Vendor/Device ID will be correct)?
I have tried many other ROMs and all give Vendor ID or Device ID errors
Your only option until you can get an official ROM is to send your XDA to imei check people. They will repair it and reload a ROM for you (anyone you like, if you give them the link) and it will cost you approx £45. This is the CID unlocking fee and the repair of your bricked XDA.
I did the same as you - and imei resurrected my bricked XDA
Unless you want to wait weeks . . . . this is the opnly option.
I can really recommed imei-check.co.uk as they were very fast, polite, answered email tech qustions and were generally helpful through the whole process.
Jeff
ALSO : When I got my XDA back from imei, it contained a beta rom and I wanted to load the HTC standard version, so I followed the instructions in this tread to over-write the beta rom (it didnt want to allow downgrading)

Dear All,
I spent a lot of hours, days, reading the posts on the forum about the Universal and upgrading it. I didn't find some answers.
I still have some open questions that I request your help in order to have a safe upgrade.
I have a Qtek 9000, that is SimLock.
I would like to Upgrade to an AKU 3.5 ROM or to one Crossbow ROM ( still under assessment)
Now my questions:
To upgrade,
I will have to upgrade bootloader, because since Aku 3.2 Rom , it needs to be 1.01. That is clear.
Edit: Opsss tried bottloader for first time and my version is 2.01 So no bootloader upgrade, but new question:
Sim Unlock works with bootloader 2.01?
1 - Do I need to SIMUNLOCK before ROM or Radio ROM upgrade? If yes:
- I will need an oficial radio ROM. Which one? Are 1.13 or 1.14 is OK?
- Must I first Simunlock and only after upgrade the bootloader?
2 -Country Code error, what is it? (Solved)
Edit : About Country error, no specific answer, but i got almost what I looked for.
Thx you all for the hard work and colaboration on this site.
Cheers

I'm afraid you didnt took your best sshot at searching, cuz 3 or 4 post above yours is a topic called "problems with upgrading?"
in this topic you will find the info AND tools you need to succesfully upgrade..
I don't know about the simlock thing, i flashed mine with the simlock on, to a cooked rom, and it works, but don't blame me if it F*CKS up your mobile i suggest that you do a bit of research in that part..
Country id error:
You get that when you try to install a rom that is from a different manufacturer/country then yours, to solve this problem look at this link

I know how to solve the country error, I just would like to get more info about it.
About the other post, I will look for it, but when i made search ( last time was the last week) I didn't find the answers i look for.
Since I looked and didn't find it could you please provide a link? ( sorry)
Thx for your help.
Hi,
1. I agree with bastiaanoskam cause I think almost any question about upgrading the Universal has been answered before in this forum.
2. I don't see the need to unlock your device if you don't want to change your current provider.
3. As far as I understand the country error is due to a change in the original language for which your device was thought (look for MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe) i.e. you have a Japanese device and want to upgrade to WWE version.
4. About the bootloader, I just saw one ROM that is said it requires to upgrade your bootloader to 1.01, it was a preview AKU3.2 from i-mate but I don't really know if the upgrade is really needed. I have read it's not needed for Crossbow and also for custom cooked AKU3.5 but again every new cooked ROM usually has a thread so you can find answers there.

1 - I do agree that there is a lot of info about the upgrade process, I just didn't find the answer for what I'm looking for.
2 - I didn't find a post where is stated that the device should be unlock to install the new ROM, but I also din't find the oposite, so my doubt.
3 - It seems that I should try first and if I get the error, go for the alternative method. I woul like to jump this step, but if there isn't other way, well, that's life
4 - Maybe it's a bad interpretation on my side of the wiki post. Porbably only some I-mate based roms need the bottloader upgrade.
thx for the help

Thanks for the advice.
Tried that already, the problem is that I need english on my phone, and living in Taiwan, the default is chinese. So anyway, after contacting the service dept, they told me that they regulate the IME numbers to the O/S therefore, you can not download a ROM that was not originaly shipped with the device.
Which really makes things difficult for me. Currently I am trying to negotiate with them to update the O/S themselves at the service centre, and would you believe, they have to get Authority from Head Office to make the change.
I really dont understand, its only a firmware image, and since I already bought the phone why are they worrying about what IME number runs what O/S.
Its beyond me.
So anyway, to anyone who is looking to CHANGE the O/S between languages it seems not that easy to do. Just buy the phone with the right language from the start and things will be much easier.
Please....
Please.....
Any holy hand........
is it that dificult????
or is it so new that none of the master herewent through this?
Well, after spending a total of 2 hours on the phone with O2 Asia, 3 different people the outcome is : "THEY SUCK!"
They have tried to tell me that it is NOT possible to upgrade the ROM image, and if I did change teh ROM image, it would VOID the warranty, what these things have in common is beyond me.
They are full of crap. I will NEVER buy a phone from them again and I strongly suggest to anyone thinking about it that there are many other alternatives out there, forget O2.
They are very polite but very very useless.
Their recommendation was "Return the phone" , and get another make.
So people keep away from these guys! That's my advice.
If I am in you posisition I would not think about the waranty right now.
The most important is to get the rom first then until you encounter a prob. you flash the rom to the original one that come in sales pack.
Thats it.
Don't forget to post here If you have got the rom.
Same with me either if I get it first I will post it here.

have you tried registering on the site????
you should be able to register no matter what language your rom is....
it says within 7 days of purchasing your phone your imei no becomes available for registering
How come some some imei will be imidiately accepted, and some have to wait for 7 days?
Because I use my own imei and they say must wait 7 days, and I use my friend's imei they accept it imidiately and say no upgrade needed.
or maybe you're entering the wrong imei, like me tried more than 10 times. it say enter the right imei or wait for 7 days after purchase.
the IMEI will be accepted once you register it at the website but do keep in mind that the IMEI can be register on the country site only (i think) also as for the new ROM i think they have removed it since i couldn't find it anymore .... well i have uploaded the rom to esnips ... link down
http://www.esnips.com/doc/5a03b941-868e-45f8-a125-bcca46523b47/Zinc_WWE_RC4070131_3
but do keep in mind doing the upgrade might void the warranty

I'm working in china and one day i lost my thelephone, so i decided to buy a PDA HTC P3300.But only after some day i saw that some thing was not working, so i'm tring to downgrade a new rom.
Here i had my problem, i followed all the details that i found on internet, also i took some informations and file from this forum to coplete the procedure like Hard SPL and so on, the problem is that when activesync is connected to the device i launch for example Hard SPL to upgrade it but after the program showed me the version installated and i said upgrade, i waited for a while and then the progam told me to check the usb connection (i tried whit 3 different cable) ERROR 260.The same thing happened when i tried to change the ROM.
CAN SOMEBODY HELP ME PLEASE?? I NEED THE PDA ALSO FOR WORK.
Thank you everybody!

Hard Spl??? For the Artmes?? Mate are you trying to brick your device cause it seems you are doing a pretty good job of it too,Hard Spl is NOT for the p3300 it is for the Hermes and Trinity which are two very very different models of HTC. Please make an effort to read the Wiki before you start messing with the phone.Try flashing the t-mobile stock rom FOR THE ARTEMIS(WITHOUT THE HARD SPL) and hopefully it may work also find out from your buyer if it is CID unlocked though i doubt wether they would know.
Check in Settings - Connections - USB to PC that the USB advanced network functionality is not ticked. That's caught me out in the past after making changes.
This is assuming that others in this forum are correct and you've not yet made a brick using the wrong model. Good luck!

Did you buy it in China?
If you bought the phone in China, there will be 2 versions. 1 for the chinese market (han huo) and the others are for other markets (usually europe) then flashed with the chinese rom (shui huo). As far as I know the chinese versions aren't locked and the foreign market versions musn't be locked either due to the fact that they have to put on the chinese rom

Hello lloyd, as you can see from all the offers of help that you received, this site is full of big heads who claim to be geniuses, but when faced with a simple question reply that you should read more!
Unfortunately, it appears that most of the contributors are so illiterate and self centered that they do not have time to help people with genuine problems.
For the last six months, I have been trying to upgrade my rom, only to find links that do not work and instructions that are incomplete.
If you want any real help, you will not find it on this website.
i hope you can help me to solve this problem....there is this Imate Ultimate 9502 that I want to upgrade but it gets to a point and asks ROM unlock code,can you please give any idea about it or u have any rom unlock code

The device you are referring to is not a Blue Angel (heck, I don't even think it is made by HTC). If it is asking for an unlock code, it means that your device is not unlocked, which means that you will not be able to install a custom rom on it until you unlock it. Having said that, there is no HTC device in this whole site that even resembles the ultimate 9502. Chances are that if you do manage to get it unlocked, and flash something from xda-developers.com, you will end up with a brick. Please read before you post, make sure that you are getting a rom meant for your device, and ask plenty of questions before you flash or else you will brick the device.
Good luck.
I hope this can make it clear for u to understand and help me to get rom code
thank you

I understood in the original post what you were asking for. My answer is still the same: this is not a Blue Angel (or a device made by HTC for that matter), we have no way or tools to determine the unlock code for your device. There are two things that you could try
1. Go to a forum that has development for your device (maybe Howardforums, PPCGeeks, etc)
2. Call your provider and see if they have this information. I know that blackberry carriers have this kind of info available (sometimes for a fee though)
Good luck.
and charge your battery to 100% before you flash. if it dies during a flash it'll be worth just as much as a paperweight
Hi
The ROM unlock code is on your box if you still have it. If you don't have your box or have the code written down somewhere, give up now. Before Club I-mate went offline, you could get the code from them (foolish me to think they would always be there), I have tried Telstra support (Australia), but while they are able to flash the ROM, they will not give out the code or how they do it.
An appeal... If any service techs are out there that know how they get the code, and can let us know, there would be a lot of very greatful users.
