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.

Welcome any advice,
Thanks in advance.
Yea me to, mine is now a brick after that upgrade? No active sync connection possible and all I get now is the blue O2 start screen after the hard reset with the red writing and numbers in the top left hand corner..
Phone is an UK XDA Orbit

yeah, I had the same problem and have created a thread for it already. unfortunately I got no useful replies, and it seems that I am stuck waiting for an official o2 ROM so that I can recover my Orbit.
It seems there is a way to un brick our phones I just need to get my phone bootted into bootlader mode which no one seems to say how to do??
Can anyone help how I can boot my Orbit , like what combo of keys I need to press to boot it into bootloader mode then XP will see it at a driver level apparently Active Sync still won;t but I will be able to run some German ROM update with the ROM file replaced with the other ones and it may come back to life..

Correct and use mtty
Already see in the forum ....
Thanks guys and apologies for the spelling..I ran the Artemis_USPL before I tried upgrading to WM6 and again have been able to run it after with my new brick now with the phone in bootloader mode but still when I try and run the german ROM update a) it will only work with the german file which freezes @ 3%? This seems to be a known problem reading around and b )when I replace it with the smaller ROM file, 54MB the german one is 66MB, I originally tried to use it doesn't read the ROM file or the update utility doesn't want to read it. I reckon I might be able to get it back if I can get one of the ROM update utilities to read a good ROm file and send it to the phone.
I can;t find this MTTY program to sniff the USB port and return the code of if the USPL util wokred as I think that could be key to all of this.
Can anyone post a quick how to here for
1) install MTTY from somewhere
2) what command to run agaist the phoen to see if the USPL util worked and what values I should be looking for
3) another WM6 ROM version (that the update utils can read) download location I can download from to try and send to the phone using the German update util
Not asking for much am I but I desperately need my phone back WM5 or 6 in the next day or so so really can't send it off.
Thanks
Error message I recive at the 3% stage when using the German ROM and english update util.
use the file attach and read that :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=285112
Thanks but I'm not that cleud up on what commands I'm meant to be sending. It works in Bootloader mode I ge a response from the phone by send it a command. But even if I get a response telling me what the CID status is its not much help as I think ti shoudl have tekane BEBEs ROM by now as I've got the german ROMUpdateUtility sending that 54,272KB file to the phone but it stops after 3%. What are my options?

That's right. On older models MTTY was quite useful, but not on the Artemis. You cannot use it to read the CID status anyway. If you are not sure about the status, run the USPL tool, just to make sure.
I've already re run the USPL ROMUpdateUtility and it completes 100% okay in bootloader mode. But after I hard reset and then try and flash the WM6 BEBE ROM or any ROM German etc back onto it it either fails with the error code I posted up earlier or gets to 3% and fails.
What are my options at this stage? Does anyone have a link to another ROM I can try like the original WM5 O2 ROM or any other WM6 ROm that might work. I'm willing to give them all a try as it's just a useless phone right now and I haven;t sent it off as 1) I need it before the weekend and 2) As I can flash some ROMs with the USPL and others have done this no problem I really feel there must be a solution as I can still falsh the phone.
What can I say RTFM... I did it all right and I didn't have a brick, I missed out one small detail... loading on the ROM with the extended ROM. All now running and it does seem a little faster than WM5.
Thank you to all those that tried to help out. To the others that are still having probs.. Don't try and run the update in the middle of a busy day in the office whilst trying to manage 100 other things meaning you are probably missing out a line like me...
One question though how do I get back my O2 power and storage meters on the today screen back as I liked them and the WiFi seems to have a bug where when it is enabled and you click on the WiFi symbol up the top it only allows you to switch it on, when it is already on.. so you have to open up the COMM manager to switch it off.
So how did you fix it exactly? I have read this thread thoroughly and can't find out what you did!
ERROR[206] occurs while trying to update ROM to WM6
While tring to update ROM to WM6 on O2 XDA Orbit i encounter ERROR[206].
I wanted to attach the screen shot but dont know how to do that, but anyway what i am doing is i attached my pda to my pc via activesync using supplied usb cord. Everything goes well till i reach a screen where it says "You are now ready to update your ROM image...." and once i click next a progress bar apperas and my pda shuts and activesync exit's automatically and my pda tries to restart with RBG band and some text:RUU, IPL 1.25.0001, SPL 1.25.0000 and USB. And thats it after few seconds or a min i get the ERROR[206] and my pda hangs.
I dont know why Activesysn shutsdown ???
Just an additional in i want to tell that without installing activesync i am not able to connect/pair my pda with my pc. So do i need to install the drivers and then try or it doen't matter cause once i install Active sync i can connect the device.
Please help me with this....
Thanks

Bootloader
I had a problem with my phone loaded touch flow 4 and cid unlocking, everything was fine then after a while it froze at boot up.
I look put the battery and did a hard reset, put it into bootloadeder mode, reflashed with a t-mobile rom does not need to be cid unlocked to do that.
Once origonal rom was working, cid unlock again, flashed back to touchflow 4.0 - sorted
Where did you got an tmobile rom from can you tell me. Mine is also freezing on booting almost once every day or so after I've upgraded to 4.0
Read all and have started this cause nothing works as yet.
The only ROM to flash is the Offical WM6 but it sticks at 28% everytime.
Here's what the screen shows.
TRIN100
IPL-1.00
TRIN100
SPL-9.99.CP
Not even detected in Activesync or Windows Mobile centre.
Can you guys help me.
PS tried SD method but does nothing, soft reset and hard do nothing and old AX3L ROM wont even start as well as HARDSPL SSPL CID Unlock and I mean everything.
Do I have to get someone, eg pay, to get it fixed???
Where to from here????
Go back to your Original WM5 Rom First. Then flash again using SSPL-Trin.exe

Cheers mate,
Well tried to flash WM5 ROM (Original that was on my 810 prior to cooked ROM) however it still comes up with the data connection error and can't find my Dopod. Maybe all the information is too much in the forum cause I have read all my friend. I would absolutely love you to simplify it a bit for an honest and humble noob that would be great......
Nothing flashes cause im stuck in the tri colur screen.
Please educate me
give some more details of what's displayed on tri colored screen..
next time it gives connection error, just restart the updater (with device still connected).
Racerx
You have provided me with the most honest feedback and I thankyou. It would now appread that the original ROM WM5 1.23.707.6 for AUS was not able to flash on VISTA however I just started it on XP so finger crossed.
Now when its all good, lol, I need to re-read what needs to be done with the new WM6 update prior to flashing it. Can you give me your clear guidance.... SSPL or HardSPL?
waiting with baited breath.....
ok, if you have any more trouble, it's hard to assess where you're stuck without the details of what's shown on your screen, etc.
to flash WM6 ROM, please follow the instructions at my site here
this will give you basic instructions on flashing it. once you get ready to flash the ROM, you can look at the upgrade guide on the site for picture by picture steps to upgrade.. hope it helps
Everything was fine, I was just browsing for wireless connections and then I've done a softreset and to my surprise it went into bootloader mode, and now whatever I do (softreset, remove battery, hard reset) it goes immediately in the bootloader mode and I can't boot windows.
I am running SPL 2.10 Olipro IPL 1.04.
Not sure if this is relevant at all, but I am running Schap's 4.31.
Any ideas?
Thanks
read the wiki
since youre hard spl you can flash the rom again. jsut run the ruu and select 2.10 and select hard spl, dont auto-detect,go through the steps and it will flash
Hmmm try reinstalling 4.31 or any other ROM again to see if it works!
Tried that already. I have tried the same ROM again (schaps 4.31), and tried the t mobile official ROM (WM6). they didn't change anything, it flashed the rom to the end and then after the reboot it goes back to the bootloader and can't get off it. I have tried the phone's original ROM which was WM5 but I couldn't do that (doesn't flash it, it says the phone is not available, maybe because it's in bootloader and it doesn't connect to activesync).
The strange thing is that overnight I left the phone off and this morning it did boot into windows (this was on the official t mobile WM6 rom) and went as far as running the custom network settings, but then after the restart it went back to bootloader and now it's back, can't get out of it.
Any ideas?

Run mtty and try to see if there is bad NAND blocks on the device, to do that run 'info 8' which will report if bad blocks exist. If they do (there should be 3 bad blocks on a normal device, ignore them) then run 'task 2a' which should sort out bad blocks, then flash a new ROM.
EDIT:: Always look at the Hermes Unbricking Thread aswell.
Ok, thanks mr vanx. I'll try that.
Here's a quick update: it would appear that after it is off for a while (about 30 mins, without the battery) it boots into windows, but then after any restart it goes back stuck in the bootloader. Does this mean anything to anybody?
Brilliant

set 14 0 i presume is a standard bad NAND command or something, thankfully in HardSPL olipro enabled checking and fixing of bad blocks.

HI guys ,
I have been following the forum from a long time ..... so before i proceed .... i would like to acknowledge all the great work the guys r doin out here !!..
was working on a friends jasjam which had schaps 4.20 running ... due to some issuses ( screen going blank white )with schaps' ROM , was trying to flash K's 1.30b .... the flashing froze midway .... after that could only see the bootloader for a couple of days .... used the mtty method to recover ... but now i am stuck with the first splashscreen and it doesn't budge from there.....
Would really like some advice here guys
Hi all,
I have a huge problem and I hope you guys can help me. I tried to flash the orbit (german) artemis of my brother. First flashed the uspl and everything worked fine. At the end there came this penguin picture and the screen stayed black/blue. Then I flashed the rom (MossisROMV3.0GER Windows Mobile 6.5).
HOWEVER: Right then the battery of the laptop went down and the pc switched off. Unfortunately we couldnt plug it in, since we didnt have the cable with us. Now after pluging in the pc there were some connection error notices. Since I didnt know how to proceed I removed the battery of the artemis. I thought I should repeat everything from the beginning on. However the phone always got stuck at the blue o2 screen showing the data:
IPL 3.04.0001
SPL 3.04.0000
GSM 02.88.90
OS 3.13.0.0
Softreset and harrest doesnt make any difference. The phone always gets stuck here.
Is the phone bricked?? Why then does it start? Please help me out asap, since the phone is needed. What can I do?
Thanks in advance
brm
first you are NOT CID unlocked (SPL 3.04.0000)
so you can only flash german orbit ROM on the phone to revive it
1. get to bootloader (press and hold the record button and reset the phone using stylus)
you will get the tri colour screen
2. connect the phone via USB to PC (no need to look for activesync/WMDC connection in this case)
3. and run the RUU (official O2 german ROM for O2 Xda Orbit)
BTW i have official o2 UK ROM in my 4shared account
look for the link in my signature
you may try your luck on that
Hi,
thanks for the fast respond. I read the just before some where else and right now I am searching for the original german rom. However cant find it anywere.
Do you think the english one will work too?
