Hi all,
Plz bear with my ignorance when it comes to upgrading ROMS etc.
Basically yesterday I upgraded to O2's official WM6 ROM .... and find it "not so good". It is slow to respond etc( i found it slower than my WM5 )
So now I wanna move to BB4, question is how do i do it??
I have downloaded an Artemis_USPL from Prof. So what are the steps I need to do??
Is it ...
1) Run start_uspl.exe from the zip file and let it complete.
2) Run( double click ) the img-46785-Tom_B_B_v4_0_TouchFlo_Professional.exe
Is that all I need to do?
Also, if I brick it .... what do i need to do to revert to an original ( say o2 WM6 ROM) ... is it USPL it again then run the O2 rom??
Many thanks
Fahd
yep, thats what you need to do. both 1) and 2) will need some user input and after it's done the device resets itself. so after 1) wait until restart is complete, then do 2).
for your original roms you dont need uspl. but if you are not completely sure, run it anyway.
Thanks for that. Time to give it a whirl! Wish me luck!!
Hmmm doesnt wanna play ball.
Did the above and ran uspl .... got stuck on a white screen. So I rebooted the Orbit and tried running the BB4 .exe ... got to 3 % and told to that .......
Error 270: Update Error. The image file is corrupted. Please check your update ultilty.
Can anyone help?? It will not upgrade ROM.
I keep getting the white screen and it cant run ROM utility(Error 224: Device not responding ).
I then reset the device and run BB4 ... I get to 3% and then I get error:270 ( image file is corrupt ). I have downloaded the ROM again and still get this error.
Any helpers out there??
Thanx
Fahd
I had the ame problem mate. What you need to do is revert back to the original 02 WM5 Rom which can be found on this forum somewhere. Then once installed, run uspl & then the BB4 Rom & hey presto your sorted.
For some reason i couldnt get uspl to work on WM6 02 rom either
Hi fadhp,
Ensure that your windows firewall is disabled and also you shut down any anti-virus programs running on your PC
I also found that turning off all the plugins on the today screen helped me to upgrade my O2 orbit.
I went through the same issues as you with corrupted images at 2% , however following the steps above helped me.
The firewall was disabled and so was AV ... so not sure about next steps.
I thibnk I shall try downgradind to original O2 WM5 rom and then upgrade ....
question is where in this forum is that Rom!! I had seen it before but as usual when u dnt need something you find it and when you need it u cant!
Will keep on searching .... anyone know the link plz save me some time!
Thanx

The link for the original O2 WM5 is in post #13, the 3rd one down.
Thanks for that.
Downgraded to WM5 now .... and tried to run BB4 .... still no joy. Same error.
Maybe i'll try another ROM just to see if that works and if it doesnt then MUST be my PC or something.
Here goes!
Cheers guys will kepp u posted.

Tried another machine ..... XP SP2 not FW or AV still failed.
Always get to 3% then crash.
HELP!!
Tried BB3.7 still no luck. 3% and crashes .... on 2 diff PC's.
I noticed that USPL runs ver 3.0.3.0 of the update utility but the actual ROMS when you launch them are running 3.6.3.6 ... does this make a difference?
Help guys plz!
Those are the issue no's of the rom upgrade utilities - it does not matter. It appears you are still not cid unlocked. whats your spl no? take it from first bootscreen.
SPL is 1.25.0000
IPL is 1.25.0001
Ideas??
The spl from uspl is 1.110000 so you need to run uspl again. Even if the screen goes blank wait till it says your rom has been upgraded.
Thing is when i run USPL and it gets to 100%, all i get is a white blank screen and nothing happens. So i have to reset the device.
Then i try and run the BB4 etc install and get to 3% before it conks out.
When I get the white screen ... what else can i do??
Some people had to run uspl 3 times in a row for it to work. Did you wait a while on white screen before giving up? I guess you are on 02 wm5 at the moment if not flash to that and try again. If you are do a hard reset and try again - few times in a row.
OK looks like USPL doesnt work for me!
Everytime I ran it under WM5 i still had 1.25.0000 and then i upgraded ROM to O2 WM6 and now everytime I run USPL it stays at 3.04.0000.
It doesnt do anything after the white screen ..... just sits there like a duck!
With so many ppl having succesfully done this surely someone can be a Wizard of Orbit??

Had same problem. Dont reset the phone but just if you see only the black screen, run the USPL update.
I have an orbit and uspl flashed first time from wm5 and wm6 - is yours usa orbit? If you really cant run uspl then it will need cid unlock from imei check - it costs but you have permenant cid unlock so you need not worry again.
I tried to upgrade my new UK T-Mobile Compact III to WM6 following the information/files at http://www.ipmart-forum.com/showpost.php?p=1375965&postcount=111, but I failed. Instead, I ended up with a failure to boot up and a freezing starting screen of T-Mobile.
I tried to access bootloader following the information at http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Artemis_Resets, but I was unable to get anywhere else apart from the T-Mobile starting screen, again. Similarly, I tried several of the suggestions at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=313848, but again no lack...
Can you please help me on that asap? What can I do to make my device workable (in either WM5 or WM6)? I spent a lot of time reading various threats in the forum and in various places in the internet, but I didn’t manage to find a solution. I would be grateful for any help.
Download this,
http://rapidshare.com/files/19322112/HTC_1.12.405.01_026790_WWE_SHIP.rar
it's the original wm5 rom and you will be able to get your device working if you run it from your bootloader screen.
Reset the device with the stylus and hold the top left button. After a few seconds you will get a screen with 3 coloured strips on it. Once on this screen run the art_tmouk_11311001_024990_wwe_ship.exe.
Then look through this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=311403
after using USPL you will be able to flash any of the wm6 roms.
Problem solved!
Thanks a lot! Your advice was valuable. I managed to make it work again and then I installed WM6 following this threat: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=325295
Everything works smoothly now!
Hi,
im new to this, so PLEASe forgive any 'stupid' questions that i will be asking:-
I have searched this site and possibly found my solution!, whohoo i hear u cry, but have this problem.
I have an xdaII(Himalaya), 3 infact, 2 working fine and i cant live without them, third one was given to me by a friend. On this pda it boots and it has been upgraded to WM6. The splash screen says tap the screen to start, but nothing happens(could be a fualty screen, im not sure). I would like to flash the ROM and take the os back to 2003, way it came from factory. I have seen some threads, and i can get into the bootloader where serial and a version number appears, then when connected to usb, serial changes to usb. Found this link thats already on this site
http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-230342.html
but need to know how to flash both rom and wm2003 from pc to pda, i have NEVER upgraded any of my pdas before. ANy help would be welcomed, but in plain english please. Many thanks.
Hey guys.
Im trying to upgrade my O2 Atom life from WM 5 to the latest O2 official 6.5 WM ROM.
When i tried updating normally by connecting my phone to computer and running the rom setup... my upgrade process gets stuck at Stage 4 with 0%.
If i put my phone in bootloader screen and then upgrade, i get Customer and model ID error.
After reading this forum I tried changing Pass.32 file properties from WWE to CHT and still i get the same customer and model ID error.
I even tried uploading those two files al1.dio and ext rom to a mini sd and upgrade through bootloader that doesn't seem to work either.
Can someone please guide me what else can be done step by step.
Thanks alot in advance for helping.
Ps - im using latest Windows Device center with windows vista.
hey
hey guys... please help... my WM5 keeps shuttin off by itself... really need to upgrade. thanks.
hey
hey guys... any help would be appreciated.... my phone turns off on its own and then when i click power on.. it goes straight to DSUU white screen and has to be factory reset so can't really deal with it.. please help upgrading would help.
Have you read here?
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Atom
Hope it helps and good luck,
hey
hey sorry. yeh i have read that page... nothing helps me there... ok so i got my phone upgraded somehow to the latest 6.5.... but i'm facing same problem.. whenever phone turns off or restarts it goes straight to DSUU white screen.. and the only way to come out of it is by ressetting the phone to factory by pressing record + power button n pressing the hole.... to restart.
not sure whats wrong with it.
Have you asked on atom section?
perhaps there you can have more chances
hey
hey.
yeh i will post it there as well... people don't really respond nowadays!
After I installed tomtom navigator I got the message that blue tooth could not start because there was no memory for it. So I did a reset, but the problem is still there. I wanted to do a factory restart and thats were thing got wrong.
Somehow the device starts loading and stops after a couple of seconds turning of the screen an gets non responsive. I have to take the battery out and it will try again but fails to load wm6.
I tried to do a factory reset again but it wakes up and starts loading wm6. I can boot into ps format but is will freeze after a few seconds E-boot is the same problem stays there for a few sec and then starts loading wm6.
I think its trying to load a corrupted firmware image and lockup. I can not find the correct wm6 image anymore the links are dead the upgrade to wm6 topic old.
Please help me get my HP HX2790b running again.
Kind regards
Sebastian.
