Do Not flash your Artemis with a different carrier/cooked Rom without cid unlocking

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.

Before you flash again with a non-factory rom, your device MUST be cid unlocked.
If you cannot enter bootloader mode your bootloader has been damaged and your device will need to be sent away for repair.

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.

Hi people, when I tried to upgrade to wm6, I recived a msg telling me "wrong vendor", but when I bought my HTC, it was free, no carrier sold me this device...

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.

imei checker
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

Hi there,
any pointer to this fool-proof way?
A foolish GioVAX

****ed up my artemis with this rom by upgrading stucks in loading mode WM6 screen. Can access bootloader but it always tell me upgrading again that i have the wrong rru....
CAN ANYBODY PLEASE UPLODE THE ORIGINAL WM5 ROM in GERMAN by htc for Artemis
(NOT Orbit oder MDAIII)
OR where can i get the original rom to downgrade????
Please help
thanks

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?

German WM6.0 ROM released

I have just downloaded HTC german WM6.0 ROM and are slightly disappointed. No touch (of course), no additional applications like HTC task manager, nor phonepad.
So I tried to simply reinstall Meschles WM6 2.0 full release and was prompted that all of a sudden the image got corrupted.
Does anybody have an idea what happened ?

Did you run step 1 - your phone needs uspl cid unlocking again.
If you still have trouble you may need to downgrade to wm5 first.

No ROM update works on my Artemis

Hi!
I've an Artemis (o2 germany-software) and i already updated it to WM5 a year ago. Now my friend bought the new artemis with WM6 on it and with that cube and everything (with the o2 branding). So i wanted to get WM6 and saw it on the o2 homepage as a free update just like WM5 update the year before. So i tried to update and a comunication error 302 appeared at 51%. After the restart only the bootloader worked. then i found out that it's possible to load the update on a fat32 formated sd-card and it worked but the hardware reset wasn't possible out of the bootloader in which it switched back every time. So i took any cooked rom for my device, tried to update and it interrupted after 3%. When i now restarted my Artemis it worked perfekt with the o2 branded WM6 soft. But that soft looked so different to my friends one. So i used the USPL update to unlock my CID and choose any rom for my device. it failed. so i had to use the original rom and another rom to get it working again. then i choose the next new rom for Artemis....
I've tried it at least 30 times now with a different Rom every time and i'm close to a complete nervous breakdown. Does anyone have an idea what i could do to get WM6 with cube?

Its simple heres the link for wm 6.1 with cube - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=371182
make sure you run the tool to cid unlock firtst though.

I already tried that one. it failed at 85% with update error 302

oh man!!!!! it worked!!!!! I don't know how but the full version with cube worked!
I'm so happy! Who made that Rom?

Upgrading possible this way or not?

First of all, I have studied quite some threads about flashing the Diamond in the past days, read the stickies and gone through the pages at modmydiamond.
I now set the following plan, and I would really love to have some confirmation before I break something
If I understand it correctly the procedure is like this:
- flash Hard-SPL signed/unsigned
- optionally update radio ROM
- flash desired operating system ROM.
The following is the case: I have a sim-unlocked (from factory) T-Mobile MDA Compact IV, a DIAM200 with the Dutch 1.37.114.3 ROM, accompanied by the 1.37.0000 SPL. The installed ROM is heavily branded by T-Mobile, and I want to install the non-branded HTC 1.93 Dutch one.
As a preparation I downloaded the signed Hard-SPL 1.30 from this thread, and installed it, and verified it was installed.
Since I wanted to install the non-branded HTC ROM I grabbed RUU_Diamond_HTC_NLD_1.93.404.1_Radio_Signed_Diamond_52.29.25.12_1.00.25.05_Ship.exe file from here and tried to install it but no success: it got stuck at 0%. (Doesn't that mean that it won't flash unsigned ROM at signed (S)SPL?) What I want to do now is install the 1.40 Hard-SPL unsigned and attempt to install the HTC ROM again.
Now my question is: can I do this safely without transforming my device into an expensive paperweight? Thanks for reading

Hello
I found a simple way for flashing.
Have a look here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=423978&page=2

I took the gamble and succeeded. This is how I did it:
- Flashed Hard-SPL 1.40 unsigned using the utility
- Extracted the nbf from the downloaded exe file (Dutch official HTC ROM) using NBHUtil 0.92, see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=409425
- Joined the OS & Splash together, leaving out the SPL and Radio ROMS, made sure the CID and Model ID were correct (see that thread)
- Flashed it with the RUU the Dutch ROM came with.
...
- Profit.

If you want only the original HTC rom, you can install it by the original update software provided by HTC.
Simply connect your Diamond through USB / active sync and luch the update utility.
You can find last 1.93 here : http://www.files.to/get/342564/gn2jg25lvr
Good luck

Well in my case the combination of Hard-SPL 1.30 and the official HTC 1.93 updater wouldn't let me update the phone's software: I got stuck at 0%. Further inspection of the nbh file showed me it was aimed at DIAM10000. I am not sure if that made the difference or that the Hard-SPL blocked the flash, can't tell.
btw dominique2222, the file you linked in post #4 seems to be a German (GER) file, not Dutch (NLD)

Finally a guy who persueded me to go and do it
Thanks your hits helped me out and now I have a real Diamond.
BTW how about the hard buttons? I recall that they are swapped between MDA Compact IV and HTC Diamond ?

The hard buttons will work fine, in case you didn't find that out already

O2 XDA Orbit 6.1 Windows Upgrade

Does anyone know if the XDA Orbit (Not Orbit 2) can handle windows 6.1 and if so do you know where I can get a O2 version please.

wow
where to start
all of the roms on the artemis part of this site should work with the orbit, but you'll need to USPL first.
None of them are o2 branded because there isnt an official o2 rom, but you can add the various settings you'll need manually afterwards. An o2 rom would (if it was released) effectively be the same as one of these roms but with a different wallpaper etc.
Just upgraded my o2 orbit using black & blue 5 off this site and after USPL-ing it it went fine.
use the search on this site for any problems you've got, and once you find a rom you like the look of read through the ENTIRE thread to see what (if any) problems other people have had with it and what (if any) solutions were found
only install a rom suitable for the ARTEMIS though (you're on the right page)

WARNING! USPL should be used prior to using ANY cooked ROM, otherwise, you will brick your device, most probably..
here is the USPL which i have used, for the past 1 1/2 years, and this works fine with HTC P3300 & O2 Orbit (NOT ORBIT 2).. i have tested on more than 10 devices of each type and i confirm this..
This is the same USPL i downloaded from this forum, but i couldnt find the links from this forum, maybe im blind .. but i already have the files, so i have uploaded it to rapidshare.. here is the link...
http://rapidshare.com/files/201470586/ArtemisUSPL.rar
just EXTRACT, and then connect your Orbit OR P3300 to your windows computer, and make sure ActiveSync is connected and GREEN..
RUN start_uspl.exe, and things should go fine with the default procedure.. no complex settings, just NEXT NEXT type installation..
after USPL has been properly installed, you can try downloading any cooked ROM for Artemis from this forum, and flash it to your Artemis (P3300 or O2 Orbit).. i have faith that nothing will go wrong.. as even i try almost every ROM whether its Vietnamese or Italian.. just for testing purposes..

Thx mate.. for this.. can you tell me after i download the ROM then wat must i do? i didnt start the process yet

have you tried searching the forum yet?
once you've USPL'd connect your phone again (if not already connected) and run the ROMUpdateUtility.exe
follow the instructions
upgrading your rom will lose your data (contacts/ msgs and emails aswell as installed 3rd party software) from your phone so make sure you've got everything you need and you've recently sync'd with your computer first

Thx mate.. just 1 thing..
i got the phone from my brother..
he said that it is unlocked and when i got it on my hand it was working..
does this mean that the phone has undergone any USPL?..
it has WM 6 on it

no...someone will correct me if i'm wrong here but as far as i know :
'unlocked' usually just means it's not sim locked, ie you can put any sim from any network into it
this isnt the same as SPL locking.
when you reset your phone (poke the stylus into the hole on the side next to the dial button) and get the red numbers in the corner of the screen you will see
IPL x.xx.xxxx
SPL x.xx.xxxx
GSM x.xx.xxxx
and some more
if the SPL says anything EXCEPT
SPL 1.11.0000
it is NOT SPL unlocked
this means that you can't flash any rom thats not from the original carrier to the device
You only need to do this once, but once you've sucessfully USPL'd it will say SPL 1.11.0000
FYI, Topics about USPL unlocking ( using the search ):
http://www.google.com/cse?cx=000825...temis&sa=Search&cof=FORID:0&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8

Woow thx mate.. Now i can get it.. in my phone the SLP is some thing like 3.14.0000
cool.. well im thinking of doing the ROM installation soon.. thx

ok, you will need to USPL first then
