i tried updating to WM6 (i think with a dodgy file) and it is just hanging on the o2 screen where it displays the files:
IPL 1.25.0001
SPL 1.25.0000
GSM 02.67.90
OS 3.4.0.0
Is there anyway to get past this, I know have a clean version of WM6 but active sync wont recognized it is plugged into the comp until it gets past this screen, which it cant.
Thanks in advance,
Chris

you need to start your phone in bootloader mode you can do this by pressing and holding the voicedail and powerbutton wile resetting.
you will get a 3 collored schreen.
connect using usb and use a official rom I don't know if O2 has his own rebranded device like tmobile but if you do.. you'll need a o2 rom.
if you don't got a O2 rom you'll need to get it fixed
next time use USPL and a none dodgy rom like B&B 3.7
thanks so much, a great help.
Now the search for the ROM begins

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.

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.

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,

****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?
WARNING THIS WORKED FOR ME THERE IS NO GUARANTEE IT WILL WORK FOR YOU BUT I DON'T SEE WHY NOT TO BE HONEST (SORRY FOR THE CAPS)
Having succesfully bricked my orbit like several others, I spent the morning scratching my head....
I think it was caused by rebooting after running USPL, and then runnig the ROM upgrade....anyway........
My Orbit was stuck on the initial boot O2 screen with red writing on it
IPL 1.25.0001
SPL 1.25.0000
GSM 02.67.90
OS 3.4.0.0
Oh bollocks says I.....
What I did
Download german rom update from german site
http://www.o2online.de/nw/support/downloads/software/xda/xdaorbit/index.html
Using WinRAR
http://www.win-rar.com/index.php?id=160&dl=wrar370.exe
Extract/Remove files from executable update file to folder on desktop or somewhere handy.
Locate nbh file from blue and black ROM or any ROM for that matter
Place in german update folder using same name as german file
ie. RUU_signed.nbh
Start Orbit in bootloader mode,
Press and hold record button and soft reset,
Plug in USB to PC,
Navigate to your extracted update folder, run ROMupdateUtility.exe, Instructions are in German,
But basically.........
Wieter = next
Abbrechen = Cancel
aktualisieren = update
The update completes succesfully and you have WM6 and an unbricked Orbit......
WOOHOO !
I can only assume you already had a CID unlocked device?
i have same problem,but not work by me.

think the OS has something to do with it as mine has OS 1.25.0.0 on startup ie WM5 so I think you didn't completely brick your phone as others have. Good effort though and would recommend trying this if your OS says 3.4.0.0 as above and is stuck on O2 boot screen.
Good old problem. I had that when flashing an ext-rom on a running system. after reboot the the screen was only black anymore. Well, I thought... "Hell, I was just writing to the ext-rom, why the freaking hell does the bootloader not start?!". I nearly wanted to send it to Kapsch, a company that does services on devices by htc, when I tried to do do a hard-reset. Guess what, it worked. After Hard-Resetting my Artemis the colorful bootloader came up again, os was dead, extrom was dead but I was able to flash them back the normal way.
Generally... as long as you have a working bootloader and a working, flashable rom it's easy to get you device running again. If your device is CID-unlocked it's even easier .
thnx
you really saved me, if it wasnt for this i would have had something that cost 200pounds and only shows an o2 wallpaper and a couple of red letters.
thnx.

Hi,
ive flushed my O2 Orbit with the PDAMobiz rom, and it is now stuck at the boot screen at
IPL 1.25.0001
SPL 1.25.0000
GSM 02.67.90
OS 3.4.00
I can go to bootloader and have tried the HTC firmware but the device reset itself after 3% !
i cannot use the http://www.imei-check.co.uk/c3unlock.php unlocker tool as it requires activesync to be connected to the device which obviously wont connect as it stuck on the boot screen or bootloader..
the phone wasn't unlocked using any tool before hand...
please please help!!!!!!
You can only bring it to life with original ROM for your device. If it does not exist, you have a brick, and have to get it repaired by a shop.
im usre i read somewhere that there are some ways to fix it as long as you can access the bootloader which i can..
I have the same problem ... But ... I downloaded my original ROM via aWizard ... Is any way, how flash this file (extension NBA) back to my Orbit ???
I'm sorry to say guys. I had EXACTLY the same problem you have described. I had to go back to an O2 shop and send my "brick" for repair. Thankfully though my phone was still under warranty so didn't cost me a thing.
how long did it take O2 to fix it

Hi everyone,
A while ago I was stupid and tried to flash my O2 XDA Orbit without fully reading the instructions and therefore ended up "bricking" the device. It turns on but seems to hang on the "O2 Welcome Screen" which shows the following information:
IPL 1.25.0001
SPL 1.25.0000
GSM 02.67.90
OS 1.28.0.0
The device can boot up into the bootloader screen no problems and I have tried to install various ROM's from the German O2 WM6 ROM to the UK T-Mobile WM5 ROM but with no success, it just gets to 3% then reboots.
Does anyone know a way that I can restore the original O2 UK WM5 ROM from the bootloader? Or at least get it working again?
At this point there is no O2 Rom avaliable, you will have to wait till they finally release the WM6 Rom sometime this Summer.

Or!!!!!
Is there a way for me to clone a mates xda orbit and drop the image onto mine? Both were purchased at the same time just I thought i'd be clever and update mine which didn't quite work out.
Have you already tried to flash a rom by using your microSD card ?
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Artemis_SD_Card_Flashing
try to flash it from sd card if your orbit is cid unlocked
not sure
I dont think my device is cid unlocked as it would have worked with the updated rom install, wouldn't it? sorry pretty new to all this.
I have tried to flash straight from the sd card but it just searches through the sd card then goes straight to the multicoloured bootloader screen.
Anyother ways or is there a better rom that i could use?
I have a gsm diamond (from t-mobile uk) and have flashed it to 1.34 hspl to use the new 25.16 radio and dutty's v3.1 both are working fine however I can't *upgrade* (i know it's not an upgrade per se) to hspl 1.93. it's stuck on 1.34.
using customruu it goes through the normal motions and on screen shows it to 100% then restarts etc, but after i check by going into the bootloader it hasn't updated. I have looked about and search for some time now and don't see anyone expericencing quite the same thing.
any ideas??

I have the exact same issue... I tired updating it from 1.24 to 1.93 and it restarted like it updated it. But when I go into boot loader its still got the old hardspl.
Does anyone know why??
I have tried searching around for a solution but no luck
I'm no noob and i've flashed 100's of times across many fones and unbricked a few with some careful reading but this seems very odd and stupidly simple. No idea what i'm missing.... only thing i can think to try is to flash from internal storage, but i would think this unwise with the hardspl as I thought hardspl would control access to the internal storage like some sort of bios perhaps?!
Same here
Hey guys,
Does anyone knows what is the resolution for this? I having the same problem as well.
Hi guys!
HSPL blocks write attempts to the SPL-part of the nand! You need to run SSPL from windows mobile and then flash the HSPL-Version you want. This is pretty much the only way to override that write-protection!
