Upgrade question for a friend WM6 Official HTC

this is a question for a friend. He said he got these problems when he was upgrading to the official htc wm6 rom:
I've tried to ugrade my Orange SPV M3100 with this RUU, but with no success.
First issue: when i have connected the phone to the PC, established active sync connection and i run the RUU, my phone disconnect and show a screen with RGB stripes during the first "Verifying the information on your PC, please wait" screen. ActiveSync connection is disconnected so i can't continue the update process, and i must soft reset my PPC...
So i've tried to connect the phone after this step of instalation and:
Second issue: After i press Next button on the screen "You are now ready to update your ROM image", the progress bar shows up and the phone disconnect from the PC and turn off. After a while the RUU says "no connection"...
What am i doing wrong? I have image version 1.23.78.3 on my PPC. Please help. Thx...
Please can someone help him out?
Appreciated.

the 3 coloured screen popping up is normal with this RUU, I have upgraded two devices in the same way without problems ... did you leave the upgrade program running through during the "Verifying device / PC" phase or did you abort? It takes about a minute or so until the next window pops up on the PC ...

Im not expert and never purport that. I thing u need 2 tell us a little bit more.
Your currently ROM, SPL, if your device is Super CID or Hard-SPL etc. some one can help u
God luck

thank you to all of you. I will try to get some info on CID, SPL etc.

This kicked my A$$ for about an hour as well. You'll never want to actually stop the installation to startup activesync. That's where things get jacked up! Just make sure that activesync can see the phone before you run the RUU_Hermes.......Ship.exe file.
1. Make certain that Activesync works before you start (I had to upgrade to 4.5) and synchronize the phone on the WM5.
2. Launch the RUU_Hermes......Ship.exe update and Click the "I Understand..." box and then Click Next. You're phone will display the Red, Green, Blue, White bars and show USB as the connection.
!!!!DO NOT REMOVE THE USB CABLE UNTIL THE ENTIRE UPDATE HAS COMPLETED!!!!! This is where you're making a mistake just like I did.
3. The Next Screen shows the Follow the instructions below.........etc. and it asks you to 1. Connect the PDA to the USB 2.Establish an Activesync connection..... 3. Disable the standby...... 4 Make sure Main Battery..... and it has a check box at the bottom.
!!!!! DO NOT TOUCH THE PHONE OR THE USB CABLE !!!!!! YOU SHOULD STILL SEE THE COLOR BARS ON YOUR PHONE!!!!
Just click the checkbox that says "I completed the steps as indicated above"
and then click NEXT.
4. It will say Verifying the information on your PDA Phone... Please wait..
5. You'll get the Update the current ROM version UPDATE box to click, do so.
6. You'll get the Verify that you want to update the ROM version screen, Click NEXT
7. It will go to the You are now ready to Update your ROM image screen. click NEXT
AND MIRACLE OF MIRACLES....You'll FINALLY see the Gas Gauge percentage screen update on your phone and the PC. Wait about 12 minutes, say a prayer for our troops, and get ready to enjoy WM6!
Hope this helps!

Tried to upgrade from WM5 to WM6 and now my excalibur starts in tricolor mode!!!

I'm the newbiest of them all, I think I bricked my brand new Excalibur!!!
Sorry if I'm posting in the wrong place, but I need heeeelp!
O.K., here it is:
I just downloaded kavana's 080314 WM6.1 installer for the HTC Excalibur, I ran the exe and followed instructions, afterwards, the ROM app opened and started upgrading the phone but it got stuck at 1%, it made be go thru the recovery process several times (unplug, turn off, disconnect battery, turn on) but it always started on tricolor mode and always got stuck on 1%, after a third recovery process the ROM app just quit and left me hanging on tricolor mode!!!
Activesync won't connect now, I try to run kavana's exe again but it doesn't recognize the phone either, the phone is on, conected (windows makes the usb sound for connection) but it is not recongized, it's as if it's not plugged.
It is stuck on tricolor mode and I don't know what to do!
Please help me!!!

Try the dicussion thread "Bricked my T Mobile phone" there are plenty of answers there.

Will this work?
I saw this on said thread, but I presume it applies for a Herald phone, will it work?
The tricolor mode is "bootloader mode"?
Isn't there some sort of restart that can fix it?
Can someone elaborate on this? I'm really a super-noob!!!
"Try a SD card flash to unbrick your device
This is how:
MAKE SURE THE HERALD IS FULLY CHARGED BEFORE STARTING THE PROCES
#01 Download your original RUU
#02 Download (if not yet installed) WinRar and install
#03 Copy your full sd micro card to your harddisk and format your card with FAT 32
#04 Rightclick the downloaded exe file with your original RUU, click Unpack here
#05 In the map the will be created you will find a file (or similar) called RUU_signed.nbh. Copy this file to your formated sd microcard.
#06 Rename the file to Heraimg.nbh
#07 Get your Herald into bootloader modus by pressing the comm manager button and the camera button and pressing the reset button at the same time. Do not release both buttons until your in bootloader.
#08 Once in bootloader pop in your sd micro card.
#09 As soon as your card is popped in the screen will say something like "Reading SD card". Wait it out till it says "Push button to start" and slide the indicated volume slider down.
#10 The Herald will start the flashing proces. Wait it out till it says "Press any button" and hit the send button.
#11 Perform a hard reset
#12 Voila! Your back in business"

I believe you didn't application unlock it first. I had same issues. I finally got it to load. I don't think you bricked it. Remove battery wait a few seconds and restart phone

Do try these procedures first. I'm just throwing it out there but if you try again it is probably a better choice to flash to WM6 first. Then try flashing to the 6.1.
I'm sure you can return it but come up with a believable excuse.

Yes, You Are Correct!

Yes, that is the correct path for him to take, install a 6.0 ROM first, before installing a 6.1 ROM. I suggest he install the T-Mo official wm6, just to get things started in the right direction again.
(1) If the device is still in the tri color mode (bootloader mode), that's a very good sign, it's not bricked. Connect the device to your PC via active sync in the tri color mode, you may think that the device is not connected to Your PC but it is, it may not look like it's connected, run the official T-Mo wm6 ROM RUU WWE, it will install on your device as long as your device is in the tri color mode.
(2)Once you get the wm6 ROM installed on your device, you must first SDA_ApplicationUnlock your device, next you want to Certificate AppUnlock and SurrealApplication Unlock your phone. Now, the reason you are doing all these unlocks are because you coming off the T-Mo wm6 ROM.
(3)After all this have been done, it now ok to try to install the 6.1 ROM on your device.......!

Great support!!! But now comes the obvious question from the n00b of the n00bs!!!
Got it, now the big question is: how to flash to WM6?
Is it done by the steps I posted early? (formatting SD, etc.)
Also, where do I get the T-mobile RUU?
Finally, there are a few things you should know, my phone was bought in Mexico, under the cellphone company Movistar (Spain's Telefonica and I've heard U.S. AT&T), it had WM5 before I "bricked" it (hehehe).
When I turn it now, a few miliseconds before the tricolor screen I can read in the phone a "waiting for SD card" message when the tricolor screen comes on, I get this version of RUU 1.15.000.
I appreciate all your help, as a contribution to this amazing community, when I get thru this, I hereby commit myself to write a fully understandable guide for noobs with the same problem (not too long).

T-Mo Wm6

Is your mobile device still in the tri color mode, if so just connect it back to your PC via active sync, It will accept the download! OK you can get the T-Mo wm6 at T-Mo's website, if not I will send you a link with the T-Mo wm6 RUU. Don't panic, you are still in the game.......!

Update!! Phone unbricked but still on WM5!
Ok... I used this ROM: HTC_S620_WWE_1.27.405.1_4.1.13.44_02.94.90_Ship.exe
It went thru the upgrading process but got stuck at 3%, anyway, it finished with a message like "this ROM cannot be used for your phone" or something and restored WM5.
Now I will follow instructions on the thread: "The Full Guide To Upgrading From Windows Mobile 5 to 6" and I'll be posting my acomplishments on this thread.
Question: The reasons for me not being still able to upgrade may be:
1. I haven't unlocked phone,
2. My phone is for Mexico and cellphone co. "Movistar", or
3. I'm running Windows XP as a virtual machine (via parallels) on an intel Macintosh and somehow there's a problem with the USB drivers.
I'm rooting for option 1 (but kavana's upgrade was supposed to already unlocked it). Option 3 maybe but then, why do I get Activesync to run? Option 2 would be a bummer!

T-Mobile WM6 RUU WWE ROM
Get the T-Mobile official Wm6 RUU WWE Rom here http://www.mediafire.com/?0vtw32zmuz3 ......!Oh! I throught you had a Excalibur.....!

Just can't seem to upgrade WM5 to WM6!
Iv'e tried the T-Mobile ROM and the HTC ROM and I get an: "invalid vendor id"
I tried every step on the aforementioned thread, even de CIS unlock, and still no luck... again, my vendor is movistar/telefonica/cingular.
Any thoughts?

A easy frix, but read the instructions very carefully, jockyw2001 thread is located in the sticky section. What you are looking for will be in post #1.........!

New Instructions
Run the Excalibur Uspl-CID ByPass.zip, extraxt on your PC and open it there, you will see several file folders. Open the one that say (uspl) MS-Dos batch File, follow on screen instructions by pressing any key. This time when you see the white screen on your device do not panic! Run the HTC WM 6 ROM, this is done while the screen is still white on your device. Just follow the on screen instructions on your PC.............!

Now I definitively bricked it!
I ran the CID unbloker, screen went blank, ran the ROM, it got to 16% and made me do a recovery, after the recovery it gave me the same "invalid vendor id" message and it automatically restarted the phone, but...
The restart stopped at the HTC intro screen!! I've restarted it several times and it just stops on the first HTC logo screen... even a hard reset won't fix it!!!
HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELP!!!

Here is a visual aid.
You are not reading into detail. Use the Tmobile rom instead of the HTC Rom.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=368998&highlight=Jamerican

Still Bricked!!!
Yeah!!! superb visual aid!!!
I just wish I had seen it before I bricked it!!!!
This is the current state of my phone: I press power, I see a white screen with the HTC logo in the middle, the phone vibrates, still the same HTC logo... and it is stuck that way! I can't turn it off, I have to take out the battery!!
I've tried a hard reset, same thing happens! It stays stuck on the HTC logo screen and I'm forced to pull the battery out for the phone to shut down.
It is obviously not recognized in any way when I plug it to the PC's USB.
What made this happen? HTC Generic ROM got stuck on 16% before telling me "invalid vendor id", restarted the phone and voila: brick!!
Boy, I wish I was back in the tricolor mode!!!
IS THERE NOTHING I CAN DO?
I'm seriously thinking about going back to the vendor on monday and saying: It was like this when I woke up (I just bought it three days ago!!!)

If it gets that far, it doesnt seem totally bricked, ima PC man, so this may be off, but it seems like some kinda bootloader error on the phone itself....IE, the HTC screen is all that the bootloader tells the phone to load. Have you tried forcing the phone into bootloader mode?

I Looooooove Google!!!
OK... I found a turnaround for the problem... got it to go to bootloader mode!!!
Whenever something like these happens to you this is the hard way to put your excalibur/dash in bootloader mode:
1. Take out battery and sd card;
2. Plug your USB cable to your PC (not yet to the phone)
3. Press and keep holding the SIMB. key (the one with the camera next to the space bar)
4. Plug your USB cable to your phone (while still pressing the SIMB. key)
5. Voila: You are in bootloader mode!!
This was gotten for a 15 min. search in google!!
Now... I'll keep going with my WM5 to WM6 upgrade...

Error 270 fix

I'm running Vista and when I wanted to run the bootloader upgrade on my Dash I kept getting this message error. Error 260. anybody find any way around it? I've tried to manually set th ephone into bootloader mode, same result. help!! PS the error is supposed to mean "port already open" or "open port error" I'd really appreciate any help!

erro 260 - fixed
switches to my wife's laptop that had XP on and it worked like a charm. I'd be glad to assist anybody in the process od de-branding their Dash. Removing the ugly T-mobile paint logo on the unit was easy too.

ERROR 260
Sorry for thislong story....
OK, I've been on looking around the site for a while. I installed the WM6 Beta. I was looking for two days for the WM5 ROM only because I want the little things to work. Finally found it. But now every time I try to flash my phone ack to WM5 bI keep getting the 260 connection error. The readme only says to restart the comp and phone and try again. I have literally, no joke, done this 12 times in the last 2 hours, hoping maybe it will go. All the phone does is go to the green, blue, and red screen and stays there. Then the comp says it gets the error. I know it's connected because Sync Center syncs, I can look through the phone, install apps from my comp, etc. Also I tried doing the 'Update only' rom for version 1.11 or so, and it starts to go but then says its the wrong version RUU. Has anyone had this problem before? Flashing to WM6 did this once and then worked after.
I'm running Vista Premium, stock sync cable, Microsoft Sync Center for vista. All this is the sameas when I flashed to WM6.

There goes another 3 attempts, trying to change timing, reinstalling Sync Center, etc.

Decided to try it on my XP desktop, and for some reason, first time it worked. Maybe Vista didn't like it? Who knows..

Mladito Vista!!
Hi there,
I have the same little problem here!!!! I have a laptop with Vista (garbage)... so i´ll try on a laptop running XP...thank you for posting this, it was a big help..i let you know how it turns out... see you around

WM5 to WM6 --> Problems at 3%
Hi all,
I've errors upgrading my phone to WM6.
I Can open the Wizard (it`s a generic to S620/S621), but in 3% i`ve an error.
I think thats my phone has a blocked CID.
How can i unlock this? i`ve tryed with tools to unlock, but without success...
Regards,
Emerson

Hello,
Welcome to the forum.
Your problem is that your phone is CID-Locked. Hence, you'd need to use a paid service to unlock it. I personally used the following service which provides instant unlocking:
http://www.gsmliberty.net/shop/htc-excalibur-instant-remote-unlock-p-1452.html
I used a credit card, it's 39.99 $ - I was done unlocking and upgrading to Windows Mobile 6 in about 15-20 minutes.
Good Luck !
P.S:
Steps to install WM6
- First CID/SIM Unlock using GSM Liberty
- Flash Bootloader
- Install WM6 ROM (It will take some time for it to load so give it about 5-10 mins. it does get stuck at the boot screen for sometime but eventually it'll load)
- Install Office/Audio Manager
- Application Unlock your phone using SDA Application Unlocker
- Install the necessary software/tweak/hacks
there you go, if you have any questions, feel free to ask. also, if you use the search function, everything's available here.
Good Luck !
Here's the following links you require
1) Flash Bootloader
ftp://xda:[email protected]
2)here's the WM6 ROM:
http://files-upload.com/files/472108....90_Ship.ex e
here's office for those who want it:

here's Htc Audio Manager for those who want it:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/atta...1&d=1183909664
Ps. I better like German flash, it's smaller due to fewer language packs, and contains English, here: http://files-upload.com/files/472422....90_Ship.exe
thanks to jsp_m for the links.

Hi,
I`ve problems because my IMEI is from Brazil...
And in the site accept only 15 digits IMEI..
My imei is: 35*************02 (17 Digits IMEI)
Thanks,
Emerson

hey,
that's not a problem. everyone has 17 digits, don't include the last 2 digits when you type in your IMEI so for example
11111111111111102
just include the first 15 and submit and you'll get an unlock link in your e-mail, follow that link, scroll down to the page to download dashunlock software and download the .UNL file for your IMEI and then make sure ur phone is connected to active sync and it's green, open the dash-unlock program and then hit enter then it'll ask for the .UNL file, locate it and open it and your good to go - your phone will be unlocked then soft reset it or i think it's automatic and everything's set.
good luck !
p.s: in other words, don't include 02 when you type in your IMEI.

Read the second post from luckybandit on this thread. That´s exactly what to do to get rid of the "invalid model" issue. Download the bootloader, flash the phone, flash the new ROM and be patient.
My excalibur is also from South America, and worked OK. If you have any doubt just let it know to this thread.
Boa sorte!

Hi,
I`ve problems with the link of Boot loader....
Anyone can send the full URL?
Thanks,
Regards,
Emerson

Hello,
I'm sorry about the links not working, here - i've attached the bootloader for you. here's what you do
1) Run bootloader (attached file)
2) Run the WM6 WWE ROM
3) Run SDA Application Unlock
4) Install Office/Microsoft Voice Command/HTC Audio Manager
5) Install Tweaks/Hacks
here's a site that has some applications and tweaks:
http://mobile.surrealnetworks.com/DashApps.htm
and search this forum, there's tons of information, hacks - etc.
Good Luck !

oh by the way, did you unlock your phone properly?
1) Download unlock software
2) Download .UNL file specifically for your IMEI
3) Connect phone to computer and make sure the activesync's icon has turned green
4) Run unlock software
5) When unlock software asks for .UNL file, browse for it, choose it
6) That's it ! It should say Unlocking done and it'll reboot
Your phone is now Sim & Cid Unlocked. If you have more questions, feel free to ask. just do what i said first then post.
Good Luck ! Hope to see everything working for u...

O2 Cosmo (Excalibur) ROM Update - How the Hell ?

Hello Experts,
i have read a lot of the Threads here, but i can't find a good information
about my O2 Cosmo. My Dash is Simlook free and SuperCID enabeld.
I found this instructions:
Tools you need:
===============
- HexWorkshop from http://www.bpsoft.com/downloads/-
the ROM of your choice
- Winzip or Winrar
- a valid UNL file for YOUR phone
Preparation:
============
a) install HexWorkshop and Winzip or Winrar on your pc
b) in explorer on pc, RIGHT click on the ROM of your choice and use: "Extract files to folder ..." from conext menu Now it will unpack all the files
c) in the new folder you will have ONE file like "HRUU_signed.NBH" (*.NBH) RIGHT click on the .NBH file and use: "Hex Edit with Hex Workshop" from context menu
d) You'll see on the 5th row EXCA20000 ==> !!! make it EXCA***** (5 stars) and save the file
e) Now RIGHT click on ROMUpdateUtility.exe and use: "Hex Edit with Hex Workshop" from conext menu
Search for word "BsaD5SeoA" (without quotes, case sensitive)
You'll find it around address 0x3FC6C ==> !!! replace "BsaD5SeoA" with "IMEICHECK" (without quotes) and save the file
ROM-Update:
===========
1) take SIM card and SD card OUT of the phone
2) Connect the phone running windows ce to the pc (normal way).
3) Completely Unlock your phone using our unlocker <== REALLY IMPORTANT
4) After phone is unlocked run unlocker (again) BUT when the unlocker ask for UNL file, remove the USB cable from the phone THEN press "Cancel" on the unlocker select file window (unlocker will close on PC). NOTE: The screen on the device will not show something usefull when in this mode. Most probably it is complete WHITE. !!THIS IS NORMAL!! Don't touch phone, let it like it is!
5) After you closed the unlocker, attach usb cable again (phone has still white screen)
6) start (the modified) ROMUpdateUtility.exe
7) when update finished and device started you will get a message: "Data Crashed, contact service provider" (!NO PANIC!) ==> Simply fix this problem by running the unlocker again and this time select the key file normal way (full unlock process again). In case you have problems please indicate the step letter/number which is not clear/not working for you. If you REALLY do it STEP by STEP exact like described you will have no problem.

When i edit the .NBH file, i get a "ERROR 270" message!
When i dont edit the .NBH file, i get a "Invalid Ventor - Error Message"
I try to install this ROM:
"RUU_Excalibur_HTC_GER_1.11.407.2_4.1.13.28_02.63.90_Ship.exe"
So my Dash is a German Device, and i want a German ROM, if it is possible!?
OK, i try to go manually in the Bootloader modus, disable ActiveSync for
USB Transfer...and run the RUU Rom...but it allways break down the flash
process at 4% !
...mmh...have i forget any info, that you can help me...i dont know?
Ah Yes...i read in the Thread:
"How to flash a new ROM to your Wizard... a little tutorial!"
Here the link to:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=298613
But i can see anything on the starting screen, if my dash ist a G3 or G4,
on my start screen ist "ABSOLUTLY - NO - Information" about it!
In the "System Information" i found a RIL Nr. 2.0002 ...
So i think my dash is a IPL/SPL G3...but i dont know it really!
I dont know what i can do anymore, to update my device to WM6.0 or 6.1
Plz, if anyone know what i can do, to fix my problem, plz then tell it to me,
thank you very much, and forgive me about my bad english!

Ok, i test many times this tool "Excalibur USPL- CID BYPASS" ...and yesterday
it works suddenly...i dont know "why" it works, i have done the same, like
every time i try it, but yesterday my dash move to the needed "WHITE
Screen"! And so i able to run the Rom Update, and it works fine!
Ah yes, my Phone tell me i'm in "SuperCID" Mode...so "WHY" i must use
this "CID Bypass Tool" ....crazy??? Or is my Phone a Liar...?
I have now installed this Rom, it Works a bit faster i mean:
RUU_Excalibur_HTC_GER_1.11.407.2_4.1.13.28_02.63.90_Ship.exe
But it is the same Rom Vers, like my old O2-Cosmo Rom, WM5.0 (1) with
Future Pack. But i have now the HTC Splash Screen!
So i want now to install this Rom (with WM6.1) :
"NoThrills_WM61_GER_V3.exe"
This is a "Kaiser" Rom... "Warum eigentlich Kaiser, hat der Beckenbauer damit
was zu tun...*g*
But when i try to run again the "Excalibur USPL- CID BYPASS" tool, my
dash show me only the "Linux Monkey" (Pinguin) Screen and hang up the
Phone, so that i must remove the battery....
The "White Screen" (that is the Screnn you must have to flash your Rom),
will dont come anymore....i dont know how...??? I start this batch file,
"Uspl.bat" ... and follow the instructions....mmh....allways i get the Linux
Monkey Screen...and not the white screen, "WHY" ?
Anybody a hint, how i can move into the "White Screen" Modus?
And a Question, is this Kaiser Rom compatible to my HTC S620 ?
Please belive me, i read a lot here...but i cant figure out this..., this Forum
here is a bit confusing, on many Threads you can read other informations!
Plz anyone, tell me (who know it) how i move exactly in the White Boot Screen?
Thank you!

If I understand you right you flashed a rom from the HTC Kaiser on your Dash. That's Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional for Touch Screen Devices. You need a rom from this thread for your Dash, not the Kaiser thread. Those ROM's are specifically for that phone. I doubt they'd even work on other Touch Screen phones because of it has the radio (I believe Radio is like Drivers in Windows, I may be wrong.) for that phone. As to fix your problem. I have no clue. Maybe you can get lucky and reflash it with an Official Dash ROM for your phone, but better getting advice on that from one of the more experienced people here. I'm a bit of a newby when it comes to this phone stuff. Good luck...

Thank you!
But "NO" i don't flash my HTC S620 wit a Kaiser Rom..."What a Luck" ...i try
to do it...and now im Happy that this have not work for me!
I actually install this Rom:
RUU_Excalibur_HTC_GER_1.11.407.2_4.1.13.28_02.63.9 0_Ship.exe
I have now understand, what is a Kaiser ROM, it is the Device Name, oh
Man...i'm so a dummy....haha...
But i have a success, i change my O2 Rom to a HTC Rom
The Question now is, how i move in the "WHITE BOOT SCREEN" ?
That i'm able to Update my Rom to a WM6.1, if posible, a German 6.1 Rom.
Is here a German WM6.1 Rom?
Is a WWE a Multilingual Rom, is in such ROMs German Language included?
And how i can remove the CID forever, so that im able to update a ROM
without a CID Bypass Bootloader?
Any ideas?
The thing is, ...this CID Bypass Bootloader work "ONCE" and now that
Bootloader dont work anymore...i dont know why...i get only the Linux
Pinguin Screen...and this is a "Hang up Screen" so that i must remove
the Battery, for a new start.
But i get nevermore the "White Boot Screen" ...how is this posible?
I do the same, like before i do...mmh...???

If I understand what's been said. You need to re-run the CID-Bypass anytime you reflash you phone. As for a German ROM. I am not sure. Ypu'd need to look around through the furom. You could try the "Seach" feature and see what you come up with.

Thank you,
but i try to run the "CID Bypass" but the "CID Bypass" run every time
into the "Linux Pinguin Screen" ...(i think it is programed in Linux?)
But the same "CID Bypass Bootloader" - work - for me "once" !
But now, not ! I dont know why?
With this CID Bypass Bootloader, i flash my Q2 Rom into a HTC Rom !
But that was only possible, as my dash move with this "CID Bypass Bootloader"
INTO a "White Boot Screen"...!
But "HOW" this was possible...i dont know...now this CID Bypass Bootl.,
wont work anymore....
You know what i mean?
The same tool (CID Bypass) wont work anymore, it work one time only.
When i now try to run this CID Bypass, i get a "Linux Pinguin Screen" in
Black. So there is a little Linux Pinguin "Preloader" ...and then the Phone
have a SOD..."Stand of Death" you Guys call that so, i think so!?
To search here, is very strange for me....i get results of all Forums here!
That was the reason why i want to try the Kaiser Rom, while i search
here in the Excalibur Forum...so i had think so, that was wrong, you know!?
Sorry, my english is not good enough to tell exactly my expirience!
But Thank you for Advice!

Hum, does it still look like windows mobile? If so they may have just changed the load screen. Either way when you run the bypass program, there' one step that'll show a screen on the phone when in windows mobile itself and you must press the center soft button to "continue" and then it'll enter the white screen mode. Sometimes I forget this step and bounce through the steps missing that. If you can't get into windows mobile, try reflashing with your phones official ROM first. They don't require the white screen. There's also a way to enter the bootloader screen by holding down a button, I forget which, while you press power to turn the phone on.

...no no, this ROM runs great! I have no Problem with this Rom!
But i have found a Solution "Yeah" !
For all who want to flash a O2 Cosmo!
Try this Link: Click
Thanks to the Uploader, found it by searching!
The last in line: "Unlock_phone_files.zip" !
Follow the steps in the text document!
Work fine for me!
But when you want to flash, and you get a connection ERROR, remove
the USB cabel, and put it back on your Dash, and run then only the
"ROMUpdateUtility.exe" again and it will work.
(Your srceen are allways WHITE!!!)
I had flash for 10min the "RUU_Excalibur_SPL-1.11_UpgradeOnly.exe"
You must extract the exe file, and copy the *.nbh file to folder 3!
After you run the "Auto.bat" and the Connection Error, click finish,
remove the USB cabel, put it back on the dash and run again and only
the "ROMUpdateUtility.exe" !
All work fine!
Thank you Developers!

How to upgrade ROm with nbh file

As newbie on this, anyone please guide me step by step to upgrade my P3300 rom with nbh file. My device is unlock already with current ROM 5.2.1908 (build 18125.0.4.2).

The procedure is given in almost every thread. It's simple really. Is your SPL version anything other than 1.11.0000 or 1.11.cmon? If yes then your phone is not unlocked. Unlock your phone by running USPL from here or the updated USPL from here.
Check if the USPL has worked by checking your SPL number. During phone booting at the white HTC screen your SPL should show either 1.11.0000 ir 1.11.cmon.
If it does you are free to flash any ROM. Get the ROM of your choice, put your phone into bootloader mode by pressing the voice record, power key and reset button simultaenously for about 5 seconds till you see a three colored screen. Attach it with USB and flash the rom using RUU.

thanks randythered for ur reply. I did w/o problem on USPL but how to use the nbh extention? where that nbh file I shall put in? pc or devise or on specific folder? I got the three colors already, then what next? pl. enlighted

do u have only .nbh file or along with .nbh file any other files are there ?
generally along with the .nbh file there are other files like romupdateutuility.exe etc.,
download those files also and save those files into your PC.
after unlocking your device then staup the device with bootloader mode (three color screen)
connect the Device with the PC by USB cable.
in the device display u will a word USB (left bottom corner)
run the Romupdateutility from the PC...
the process will guide u next steps ...
after the completion u will have new OS
Last I would recommend tht u also upgrade you Radio ROM (this is responsible for all the communication functions of ur phone i.e. calls, GPS, WiFi etc) which will enhance the communication capabilities.
Radio ROMs Link : http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index..._RadioUpgrades.
Note : before flashing any ROM or upgrading the RADIO kindly CID unlock your device or you will end up the with bricked device .

You can download my ROMs, they come with the full package

As sixthsigma said, did you check if the phone is correctly unlocked? Is the SPL showing 1.11.0000 or 1.11.cmon?
Secondly, what OS are you flashing on? XP, Vista or Windows 7?

Hi Randythered, IPL 1.25.0001 and SPL 1.27.0000
I am using your ROM RtR Manila v1.0
using XP

Well, firstly thank you for wanting to try out my ROM
Secondly, you haven't unlocked your phone properly yet. The SPL must be 1.11.0000 or1.11.cmon, depending on which USPL you use.

strange... hv tried several time but w/o luck...
now I notice that it cut out after '70' and jump into 100 with disconnecting
any choices of other USPL instead of the one attached here?

Did you flash the old USPL or the new one which is nosize? It is preferable to install the old one first. And then go for the cmon nosize USPL if need be.

From a noob to a noob
Hi, heres the procedure for upgrading your rom put as noob friendly as i can put it.
WHAT YOU NEED
1. HTC Artemis p3300
2. computer running Windows XP with activesync installed
3. Usb cable to connect to computer
4. The new rom that you want to flash
5. And USPL which can be downloaded at this page http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=311403
NB: For most of the newer roms you will probably need the updated nosize version of uspl http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=521406
PREPARATION
NB: Anything you need to backup or keep from your device do it now.
NB: in some cases you may have to hard reset your device before it will take the flash
1. Extract Uspl to your desktop
2. Extract the rom you downloaded to your desktop
3. Remove your sim chip and memory card from your device
4. Reset your device and sync with windows xp
UPDATING
1. In the USPL folder run the program called "start_uspl" and let it do its thing in the dos window,in
my case it goes to 70 and then jumps to 100,if you have been watching your device screen you will
see the linux penguin for a few seconds and it will change to a white screen.
A window will popup on your computer, do as it requests, when finished it will reset your device.
Sync your device with your computer again.
2. In your downloaded rom folder you should find a file called "ROMUpdateUtility.exe" or "Ruu.exe", run
it and a window will popup, do as it requests.
Your device screen will go tri-color(red,green,blue) and the rom update will begin, wait till it
finishes and thats it.

thanks soloman1 and others
finally I got it with removing the sim card and memory card prior to upgrading

Sixthsigma...you said - "unlock the device properly with USPL..." - how do I do that?
I got the same error as mentioned when trying to flash using the numb3rs ROM:
http://thewingster.com/numb3rs.aspx
I ran the herald-uspl.exe file. and ended up with teh above error. My TMo Wing has the original ROM on it and the phone itself is probably unlocked. Ive had it for a year now. Do I need to call TMo to unlock or is there some app I can run to do this myself?
appreciate any help!

nevermind, it worked ok on the second attempt!
