Hi,
I read several posts, but without real solutions. Maybe someone can help us all.
Dutch people with an Artemis that is stuck at the first splash-screen need the original dutch HTC Rom. It doesn't exist as far we can find. It's not a t-mobile or something, just not branded. If anyone has a WM5 original dutch we would be glad also.
The problem is we want to flash with USPL to other WWE rom, we can get into bootloader mode without problem. It get stuck at 3% when trying to flash rom.
When running USPL it asks to copy the same files again several times, with error messages 'device not connected' and then gets stuck at 50..... with 2 error messages, cannot copy cmd.exe.
My question is : does anyone know the real solution or has original HTC rom?
Thanks !!!!!

I have a dutch HTCP3300. Trick is to 1st give a hard reset, and remove the microSD card. Then connect via activesync as a guest (no new partnership). When connected, use startuspl.exe.
Afterwards u can flash any rom, but after using B&B4.0 a while, i advise u to use the clean WM6 rom whch came out on juli 13 (the english rom from HTC asia.).
Works like a charm, but have no dutch language anymore. For that you will have 2 wait till september (i guess) or be lucky its any sooner.
Hangs at 50... when running USPL when bricked
Hi,
Thanks for the reply. Gave it a hard reset & removed SD card. Please note I cannot connect to activesync when phone bricked, so cannot chose any partnerships nor guests. I only hear a sound that usb is connected.
Do I have to use start_uspl while the stuck splashscreen is on, or in bootloader mode? I think it makes no difference, cause before when using start_uspl and phone was working, it got automatically in bootloader mode.
When starting startuspl.exe it says NO DEVICE CONNECTED! it first asks to copy again same files (several times) - i have to say no cause it keeps asking hunderds of times, and then I get at 30 and 40% : can't spawn 'cmd.exe'.... no such file or directory as start_uspl.exe and it hangs at 50....
I know how to flash, had B&B4.0 first before i got stuck, so i have to get into uspl with a bricked phone, anoter interesting thing for all users in this forum.
I saw in Trinity forum the guy 'Pof' made an 'unbrick' tool, would be nice for Artemis users also (and no 6 weeks waiting for repair service)
Thanks for any new help!

i agree 100%.
search for "P800w_SEA_ENG_WM6_Upgrade_20070713"
and
customize to your liking using the b&b apps to be found in all the posts and look for "palestrini" with most cabs.

Tried this already?

Or just flashing the new WWE WM6 rom? Or tried flashing it via an empty microsd?

Bricked P3300 in splash / .nbh replacement or SD flash not working with CID lock
Hi,
Thanks, but no luck.
1> I tried the German rom (not the one for the orbit) and replaced the .nbh with the B&B4.0 & renamed, also with the HTC official and P800W Sea, but all 3 hang at 3%
2> My device isn't CID-unlocked (no supercid device) so through SD card it says 'Invalid certificate' or just nothing. I tried the HTC Official WWE, B&B 4.0, P800W SEA, renamed all 3 to ARTEIMG.nbh but no luck (due to cid locked i guess). Maybe I will do it when waranty is over. Hate to send it in to wait for 6 weeks.
If HTC repair service can do it, why wouldn't anyone from the xda developpers site cannot fix a bricked p3300? Or is the only method that i have the original dutch HTC rom (not branded) which isn't out.
Thanks if anyone can solve this problem!!!

Wat numbers do you see in the colored screen? Ie Ispl?
look here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=312871
if you know someone with a working dutch artemis, you can make a rom backup out of it and flash it to your device.
ok, i know its not the easy way, but at least it seems to work.
Backuped up Dutch Rom please
Hi Twiggerdingo,
The numbers are :
IPL 3.07.0001
SPL 3.07.0000
GSM 02.95.90
OS 3.4.0.0
B&B4.0 was flashed with uspl from the original WM5 Dutch rom. B&B Worked perfect, but everything went wrong when flashing ARTE_NLD_WM6_RvBCrS. It was an .nb file, converted it to .nbh (cause always hangs with bat file) but no luck. It seems that it always goes wrong with a .bat file and a OS.NB file. Never been stuck with an upgrade.exe and an .NBH file.
Hope I can fix it this week instead of sending in for repair and 6 weeks waiting... If anone has the dutch original rom (or can make a .nbh backup) ?
There is also a htc rom tool version 1.0.1 (rombuilder by dark simpson) i saw on this forum. You can select a rom, choose country id, language, ...
I wonder if I could change the country id,... to the same as my dutch rom, so that it would flash, but can't remember the country id the other data.
Thanks for any help!!

Unbrick P3300 with Vista
Hi,
I'm running vista, but I can't see the problem, cause i flashed many roms without problems to B&B 4.0,...
What does Vista witheld that XP can with a bricked phone ?
Tomorrow my friend comes with his XP laptop, will this make a difference you think?

1.12.404.1.nld
The only rom that can unbrick my device would be the original rom i guess, it would be the 1.12.404.1.NLD (9/12/06). Anyone can help me to find this one? Not on HTC site, no support at all.
Hi Innovator,
Vista seems to give some problems for some people when they are trying to flash their rom. its reported in several other threads. Mayby XP can help you, although when it HAS worked for you, i think the chances are small.
My GUESS is that you have to reflash your current rom somehow, so the last terrible rom youve mentioned. (dont know that 1...).
So this 1:
ARTE_NLD_WM6_RvBCrS
IPL 3.07.0001
SPL 3.07.0000
GSM 02.95.90
Afterwards use uspl. And then u can continue for another 1. At this point i dont think a original Dutch Rom can help you out.
upgraderom.bat = no device connected
Hi,
I will try tomorrow with XP, the problem is that ARTE_NLD_WM6_RvBCrS rom is an OS.nb file with an upgraderom.bat file.
When i try to upgrade rom with this batfile & .nb it says copy files again? with device not connected remark. This is the same as when trying to run USPL, so i think to flash like this you need a working phone. For USPL it needs windows CE to work and the same error.
How can I easily convert this os.nb to os.nbf ? I tried some tools but had to fill in a lot of stuff (didn't know what).
I like more flashing with upgrade.exe tool & .nbf files, no problems at all.
Thanks

RvBCrS Guy & rom-flashing
Hi,
No luck again.... repair service is nearby...
Tested all the roms on XP and same errors, hangs at 3% maximum.
I have the pdocwriteartemis by the RvBCrS guy, i put the os.nb in the rom directory and now it says 'not all depencies are found! now quitting".
RvBCrS says only OS.nb like i did, is there something wrong with this guy?
Maybe he can save his image on xda forum (and my Artemis).
Hope to find a quick solution...

Cannot flash with upgradeartemis.bat file in dos
Hi,
I'm really sorry but I cannot flash through a .bat file in dos, it asks always to copy the same files again, you have to take no cause it keeps asking hundred times (device not connected also mentionned)
Then you have to wait 12-20 min (if it hangs 30min mentionned) but it stays on the bootloader screen, nothing happens.
I can only flash with .nbh from storage card
or with upgraderom.exe (in windows).
Only from bootloader mode, cannot get into activesync also.

Hi All,
I am facing the dreaded 'No GSM' error and unable to flash radio rom problem.
tried to flash every possible rom including original O2 one. All failed on radio ram flash.
Went through various threads and there seems to be no solution yet for universal (though there seems to be a solution for Hermes).
So all, please help me if there is some light in the end of this tunnel
regards
Topgun
i have tried all the possible things but no luck so far.....
please help
I just bought a used XDA with this same problem. Thought if i flash it it would work... any suggestions on what I can do? i havent touched it yet. Thanks
has ANYONE been able to solve this problem?!!!! Pls what did u do step by step.... I spent so much money on this %&%$& Phone!!! pulllleeeessssss
I haven't had this problem, however it sounds like you phone may be SIM locked? If so, you will need to flash it with the native ROM from it;'s origin. If it is SIM and CID locked, it will only take the OEM signed ROM.
Quote from POF (Moderator)
"Not in 100% of the cases... there are some situations where the radio bootloader is intact, but the radio is screwed, this causes all bootloader commands that require radio seclevel to be queried to hang the device (like 'task 32' or 'info 2'), thus not being able to flash it with the usual RUUs.
If this happens, it can easily be fixed with hermflasher by flashing the raw radio without prior authenticating to bootloader."
If this is of any help. It is from a thread on CID Unlocking RUU for Uni
Thanks.
i have been through that thread.
well the question on that is 'Is hermflasher okay to flash Universal as well'?
Where is this thread? i can try it.... but cant find the thread on cid unlocking ruu for universal in mermes section....

well it was a laptop dell to be precise.
it was never used for window mobile usage previously and hence fresh Active sync 4.5 was installed.
only radio rom 1st (using the RUU check bypassing)......
once succesful, then laurentiius rom was tried.
one more thing i had entered bootloader manually after disabling AS 4.5
i used the original USB cable as well
hope this helps....
suggest get hold of some friends "win mobile virgin" pc/laptop.
P.S>- i am not sure but this prob might be somewhat related to COM ports available on your machine.
Hello,
I saw on the htc site that an update for the Sprint HTC touch was available so i downloaded it and tried to load it on my phone.
It took a few tries to get it to connect and when it finally did it said there was an invalid command.
I thought it was because i upgraded my phone earlier to the titan rom and radio to get gps and rev a so i put it back to the factory settings.
Everything was normal.
I then tried the official htc software update again and it worked until it got to 10% and it said invalid command again and exited.
It is now stuck on the boot load screen and remains that way after numerous soft/hard resets.
To "unbrick" your phone, follow the steps in this thread:
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=24906
In a nutshell:
You'll have to revert back to your carrier's ROM (by carrier, I mean a genuine, signed ROM) by extracting the ROM's exe file and renaming the .nbh file inside the archive to VOGUIMG.nbh.
Then, remove your Micro SD card and use a card reader** to put that file into the root - ensure that the card is formatted as FAT32 and that the card is not an SDHC (meaning any card that is 4GB+().
**card reader or any other device that has a microSD slot that operates as a USB mass storage device - I did the same procedure with an MP3 player... **
Insert the card and reboot the phone, it should go into the bootloader and update automatically.
Good luck
If you can get to the boot screen, chances are it is not bricked
Just download the original ROM and flash to that. Make sure to NOT use a virtual machine! You can only run the .EXE file in Windows XP natively, not in software such as Parallels or VM Ware.

If you are getting a communication error while trying to flash from the sd card, you've got some very serious problems. More than likely, if you are flashing from sd and get an error, it is probably not a communications error.

This is a pretty simple fix. You need to stick your MicroSD card into your PC via card reader. Format the card to fat32. Re-Formating is important because even if your card is already fat 32 sometimes it still won't work until your re-format it. Then copy "any" compatible Vogue RUU file over to your card. Rename the file "VOGUIMG" without the quotes and stick it back into your phone in the root directory.. Hold down the power and camera button and reset the phone with the stylus. Once inside the bootloader follow the instructions on your screen. Reset when you are done and you should be good. THIS IS ASSUMING YOUR PHONE IS ALREADY UNLOCKED. If you go back to Sprint and they see why your phone isn't booting they may not honor your warranty.
GOOD LUCK....

Let me clarify. Use any "Compatible" "Custom" Rom. I don't believe the Sprint Release off the HTC site will work with what you are doing. You need a Custom Rom.
I would suggest you visit: http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/forumdisplay.php?f=59
and just pick one and follow the instructions I gave eariler. I don't believe you can do this type of upgrade with the Sprint ROM you need to try with a custom ROM....

Have you ever loaded a custom ROM?... You said you loaded a Titan ROM? I believe you had to have your phone unlocked for that and that was just for the Radio and it was not a full OS flash. So if you did that then hopefully your phone is unlocked.
If your phone is unlocked you will see the following on you bootloader:
VOGU100 MFG
SPL-2.31.Coke
CPLD-3
What do you have listed.

His phone is not unlocked and he cannot get back into Windows Mobile so he cannot unlock it at this point.
His only option is to load the RUU/WWE from Sprint (presuming that is his carrier) as I don't think (I'm probably wrong) that the stock boot loader will flash from sd card.

Hye Boggsie,
Didn't COKE release a version of his unlocker that was flashable via SD card. I know that I flashed extracted the .nbh from the .exe and renamed it and flashed. It worked but I only did this because I running Vista 64 and couldn't get it to work from Vista. I will look and see if I can remember how I did it. The op said he flashed a titan rom to get the radio or something. I would guess that might play a part in this.
I agree that the Sprint.exe would be his only option but I will see if I can locate what I did. That may also work........
Thanks for the reply...
Here is the link to the 2.31 unlocker: ftp://up.ppcgeeks.com/Vogue/Users/ImCoKeMaN/Vogue_unlocker_MFG_2.31.exe
Here is the link to the thread over on PPCGEEKS:
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=20370
What I did was to extract the .nbh and rename it to VOGUIMG. I flashed that from my SD card and unlocked my phone. I don't believe this is a supported method. I don't know how good of an idea it is. But it seems that you have tried everything else already. I would READ the thread VERY CAREFULLY before deciding to try this. I Must be VERY CLEAR. DO THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK. AGAIN READ THE INSTRUCTIONS IN THE THREAD FIRST. I only did this because when I was newer I made a mistake and found myself in a similar position as you. I knew my phone was dead and figured I had nothing left to lose. I take no responsibility for this as I am sharing information that I have from my own experience. I don't think that this is really suppossed to work but it did for me. It has been a while since I fixed mine, and I have flashed to many times to remember. So I am reasonably sure this is what I did.
Good Luck......
Update:
Read this thread:
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=24906
This should help you fix this.
UPDATE 2:
Rename the .nbh to VOGUIMG not VOGUIMG.nbh the .nbh is the file extension and not part of the renaming process. If you include .nbh in the name it will not work.....
OK. GOOD LUCK

Hey I took the plunge.
I relocked and and then unlocked right from my sd card. It does work. Only recommended if there is no other way. But it does work. It is just like flashing a custom rom from your sd card but it only takes a few seconds.....

Wow ... a bit of a gutsy move; yours are bigger than mine, my friend.
Although, I wonder why / how it works? I mean, flashing a bootloader from SD is facilitated through the existing bootloader. So the existing bootloader is being overwrittern by the new bootloader, but the existing bootloader is performing the write / update process, so how can it possibly be overwritten?
This is why the bootloader process from the pc needs activesync; so that a temporary bootloader can be run in memory and then used to write the new bootloader over top of the existing one.
Oh well, who cares why I can't understand it ... it works. Good find!

i red this link already my friend but im not sure that i really understand the procedure in upgrading thats why im asking for the help of anybody who knows universal because it also iunclude in the link the procedure in upgrading wizard its very confusing for me.
thanks to your reply!
I have to agree with Andrei here, the doc is not very enlightening,
from what I have read there are a few things missing.
For example I don't know if I have to "unlock" my phone. I bought it on ebay they said it was unlocked, the phone was not available in USA&Canada they imported it somehow from Europe (it's an MDA Pro). I beleive it is unlocked already but ...some users here say "completly unlock your phone" ...which means...there are some other partial "unlocks" ???
The Wiki procedure says you have to backup your files...It is har to beleive that there is no standard reliable software that can be included and mentioned in this procedure. This is an important step and if anything goes wrong you must be able to find your way back to at least what you had had before you did the upgrade.
As for "the search button" ...I have tried that and ...)) the same results tons of answers ...you need years to read and to process all that info.
Guys,
After Having Device only for few days to upgrade may not be advisable. Therefore I suggest you to take few days to get to know your device and read more info.
REgarding the "Locked Device" means you would only able to use the device with the SIM of the Orginal carrier. As you already using the device in other country and other service provider..I guess you device is UNLOCKED.
Anyhow I will try to short describe how to upgrade goes.
1) Make sure you get the orginal OS of your device first. anything goes wrong you can flash back to that OS.
2) make sure you backup your personal files from the device( files;PIM;etc.etc)
3) make sure you have bootloader higher then V1.0
4) make sure you have full charged Battery
5) Remember that in cooked WM6 the vidoe call doesnt function anymore!!!
6) Download a cooked ROM available here in the Universal forum. ( the New ROM of Tomal V8.5 is great one)
7) I.E Tomals ROM file has got everything you need to Flash your device
8) Anything else is clearly descriebed in the WIKI "READ IT carefully"
Good Luck.. dont blame if anything goes wrong

Aparently if your PDA is seen by UNI_ExitBootloader.exe that means the reboot command is executed then you should be OK. But....I tried that and I had to try it twice, the first time didn't work.
So...apparently I will have to try to bootloder upgrade and after that burn the new ROM.
I still need a way to save the old one.
BTW, in what circumstances can yu damage your phone up to the point where you can not reflash it or use it anymore ?
nad one more question, will the phone work (calling and receiving calls) if the software is gone ? I believe it will not but...what do I know ? )
I'm also not totally clear on the instruction. Though they seem to be complete the style their written in leaves some questions.
If I have a G4 then is the file "HTC_Uni_SIM_Unlock_v1.rar" at ftp://ftp.xda-developers.com/Universal/Tools_and_Programs/ is what is needed to unlock CID/EROM locks in preparation for ROM flashing?
Or is SIM unlocking totally different from the unlocking were talking about?
Thank you vary much!

1)I have no Vista therefore I cnt give you much info and that but I have read alot of issues with it. Therefore I suggest you to read more on how to upgrade in Vista.
2) I personally dont use any Backup Software. I syc. My Device with my desktop and M$ Outlook. Any Info that I have with contacts,Appointments,Task even My Documents folder and files. Those will be available on my Desktop and after upgrade you can Sync. them to you Device with new ROM
3) If you have BL 1.0 which means you should have G3 device then I believe you can use the JASJAR_BL1.01_RUU_v1.2.exe ???I have an MDA Pro.
4) UPGRADE in XP....YOU NEED TO CHECK HOW IS IT IN VISTA
4.1) Download Tomals ROM which comes in package like:TML_v85_WM61_20764_ST.exe (that is the standard OS).
4.2) Put your device in boot loader mode with button Comb. >power B + Back light B + Push the reset B <with stylus until you see on the screen the Boot loader Screen. Connect Device to your Computer.
4.3) Start the TML_v85_WM61_20764_ST.exe with double click and the installation will start.
4.4) follow the screen instruction.
4.5) After completing the upgrade Disconnect the Device from the Computer.
4.6) Push button comb. >push left soft key B + push right soft B + Push with stylus the reset B< untill you see message on the screen ....Push "0 (nill)" to set device to factory setting or something..
Well then you should be fine and completed your upgrade. AGAIN CHECK THE UPGRADE WITH VISTA.. I have no experience with Vista.

That is exactly what I did.
I am happy now excepting that I don't know if I need to instal RealVGA or that is included. I belive it is not.
I will try tomorrow.

The realVGA is not included in the Tomals ROM. you need to download it separately.(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=327830)
I am not that young anymore and therefore I found my self having issues with the RealVGA. 128DPI is nice but you need good eyes. 96DPI is not usable I would say
Hi. Can a T-mobile HTC TOUCH PRO2 (US version) which was stupidly flashed with a SPRINT CDMA ROM be brought back to GSM by reflashing it with a GSM flash ROM file using a PC running Windows? If so, where can I obtain the flash ROM file from, as well as the utility to flashing it back with.
PS: HTC Techs wouldn't help me except telling me to send it in so they can charge me more than I already paid for this phone already. Thanks in advance for helping or trying to help.
Did you brick you device?

Well, my "know-it-all" buddy who's had great success with tinkering & flashing my other phones, B-R-I-C-K-E-D this one. Now he and I have been through the gamut on trying to reset this TP2 with the problems listed in another thread here using forum members' suggestions as well as the resetting tips for this model found on HTC.com with no success. So I had a thought in my sleep. Maybe, just maybe, I can reflash it?
Symptoms: There is no screen on this phone now. My PC tries to recognize it for about 1 minute or two, after it displays it's hardware signature in Device Manager 2-3 minutes showing up as "Qualcomm CDMA Technologies MSM" with an exclamation point under "Other Devices", then, the phone's hardware signature disappears from my hardware list in Windows 7's Device Manager listing. It didn't do that before.
"My Other thread" referring to all I did in trying to revive this phone with the help of other members here.

You should be able to connect the USB, go into bootloader mode, and then run update the ROM. You should probably run task29 first to clear the memory. If you can't get the USB to work, you can flash from your SD card. Check the first several posts of the ROM forum, rather than this GENERAL forum.
find an official T-mobile HTC TOUCH PRO2 rom and flash it.
and if your device has hard-spl then you can flash any full gsm rom.
some roms here

Nope no good. These tips all expect some sort of interactivity between the use & the phone present like being able to go into bootloader mode or expecting something visual on the screen. My TP2 doesn't do anything after flashing it with the CDMA process (provided by the Rhodium.htc-unlocks.com website), except turn on the little orange LED ever couple of minutes until the battery just dies out.
You now have a nice paper weight or brick. Flashing a cdma radio and/or bootloader/unlocker is NOT reversible. If you had only flashed a cdma rom then that could have been reversed.

If you cant get into bootloader I'm almost certain that means the phone's bricked. I realize that's likely not the information you want to here but you need at least a FEW things working on the thing to be able to flash it to a different rom. Bootloader being one of them.
If you cant get into bootloader mode,then i dont currently know any other way of reviving the device at home.sorry.

I'll keep that in mind next time. For now the phone is on it's way back to Oz. What sux about this is that I could've had the pleasure of bricking my own phone, instead my pal got to enjoy this phones' trial & tribulations. thanks anyhow guys.

RMA usually it's totally free you only have to pay to send in the phone. I know cause I did the same thing kind of... I flashed a GSM rom on a CDMA phone and totally bricked it. My phone connection led didn't light up when connected. Then I call HTC, they sent me to call another company that handles US Cellular and got it RMA paid only shipping.
If your led connection lights up there might be a possibility you can flash your stock rom with a clean Micro SD Card. Just search for this method on the forums, it has been a working life saver to many.

The only thing that might work is to go back over the the CDMA forum and find out how the CDMA version invokes the bootloader. Maybe it is different than the GSM version? If you can't get to bootloader you are in trouble.

Bear in mind that (I believe) the OP said he Hard-SPL'd the device. I've seen numerous tales on here, of HTC declining to repair under warranty in those cases, citing 'Illegal software'. They usually then quote a couple of hundred dollars to change the motherboard, or a fee to return the phone unrepaired (the fee is their charge for the diagnostics).
I have the same error. Any new guess? In my country there aren't HTC repair stores
hi all:
anyone here know how to reboot the tmobile tp2 after I think I brick it? probably flash with wrong rom. now the phone will not turn off. stuck at "stick together".
Thanks
