I try to upgrade my device with the latest ROM and the ROM upgrade process always stop ato 40%. But The radio and ExtRom always sucess. I've read all the instruction on wiki's page and still have no idea what went wrong. Now my XDA2s is stuck in bootloader. Mine is 2.07.
Am I missing something in the process? :roll:
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.

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 first serious post!

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

Please help

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?
Guys,
I had lot of problems upgrading my orbit, first of all i used Pof USPL for making my CID lock phone temporaly unlocked first i got some errors such as PDA and error [270] on the "PDA phone ROM Update Utility" this was easy couse i just disabled the windows firewall an i got it to work. but when i started the black&blue wwe upgrade i got some errors there my phone was low on storage space and when i cleared the storage my phone is stuck on the bootloader meny, i tryed to update with USPL again directly with ROMupdateUtillity not with the USPL_start.exe couse my phone is not loaded to winCE and not active sync, i did this by going to bootloader meny RGB meny and stgarted the o2 german update but i get i message telling me that the phone is wrong model ID error 244
With these problems i concluded that
You have to make sure that you have installed properly USPL
You have to make sure that you have free storage space
You have to make sure that you had disabled windows firewall
Any advice is very usefull to me and the xda-developers community
Kind regards
I also managed to get pof's USPL correctly installed. I then successfully flashed a WM5 HTC ROM just to test it was working. Success. I then flashed a WM6 ROM. Unfortunately I forgot to re-flash with USPL first. Hence I "BRICKED" my phone. A quick trip to my local O2 store, my brick was sent for repair. I have just received it back. Repaired under warranty. "Software Fault". Now I paid imei-check, got it unlocked and have now flashed BEPE's WM6 ROM successfully. So much faster that WM5. Great.
I search forum but cant find answer. My Artemis is HTC P3300 with original WM6. SPL is 1.11.
I tryed to flash two ROM-s: Artemis Vanila 2.01 and O2 Premium 2.0 and get same error 260 connection where activesync disconnect.
Please can someone tell me what to do? What I am doing wrong?

there are lots of posts about this, the best way to fix it seems to be to flash back to the original ROM and then try again.
I really search forum but answers did not help me. I tryed also SD flash but cant start a bootloader-push down voice dial+on/off+reset button and nothing happend.
Ok, I dont have original WM5 ROM on my desktop PC only official WM6. Is it enough to hard reset or just flash back official WM6? Sorry if I ask stupid questions.
Maybe I wasnt clear enough in a first post.. I originaly had WM5 and than I flash official WM6. So, I dont have WM5 ROM anymore. I can only flash back to WM6. I try to flash WM6 and same error apear.. I will try to find on net originaly WM5 and flash it than we will see..
I found original WM5 ENG Rom on the web and try to flash but get same error again! I really dont know what to do anymore.. Tryed SD flash but bootloader didnt start, trying flash back with original WM5 also failed..
Who can help me?? People it is christmas time come on...
Same issue here.
Trying to flash from Artemis Touch 3.01 lite to Full version.
Having problems with Error 260.
It's normally because you are trying to flash with a SDHC card in.
Thanks
Ok, at the time you get the error, I presume your device has gone into Bootloader mode? If yes, then without doing anything to your device, stay in the boot loader screen and try running Rom Update process again. This time it may go through it.
Regards,
Carty..
have you removed your storage card while updating ?
With the new sdhc drivers there could be problems when the storage card is insert into device.... hth
ups....just saw Juice05's answer....i was too late with my answer

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?
