So, has anyone successfully unlocked, hard spl and flashed a new ROM into an O2 Ignito?
There's so little about the O2 ignito here, but i'm thinking to get one and try a wwe Rom on it.
Thanks all
some people have them

Ehh?
There's not much information relating to the "MDA Compact IV" either.

True true, but don't forget it's the same hardware anyway so all of the updating applies to all 3 versions of the phone.
I personally have the MDA Compact IV and have updated ROM/SPL/Radio fine, and my friend has the O2 XDA Ignito and has also updated all 3 of his so i can confirm its safe
The XDa Ignito comes unlocked as standard - you can use any SIM card in it. As for the rest - I put Olinex 1.40 on mine and then have flashed 3 different roms from here all fine
I'm going to put a new rom on my Ignito tonight hopefully.
First though I want a copy of the original O2 rom to put back on if necessary.
So far i've managed to dump the rom from the phone to my computer, but now just need to convert that all back into a ROM somehow.

same position here, i got the raw files and the spl but trying to find out how to build a rom with the raw files.
please update if youv managed to find anything
I also have the raw files but if I have no idea how to get these back into a normal flashable o2 rom! I am sure we will manage it if we need it for warranty purposes though if it comes to it
i think we need to start a new thread for this to get more attention, some of the advanced users will deffinitely be able to help.
its worth doing in my opinion
As has already been stated, there's loads of us XDA Ignito users on here. Within 2 days I'd flashed a new SPL and ROM onto my device. Would be nice to have the original o2 rom to roll back to if necessary but I'm perfectly happy with out it currently.
As far as I'm aware o2 are one of the few operators that don't lock their devices. Out of all the handsets I've had from them over the years I'm as yet to receive a sim locked one.
markquinton,
can you help us out with redeveloping the original o2 rom!
seems like you have some ccoking experience having a custom rom on your orbit! see my previuos post in this thread
I'm afraid I only built custom rom's from the base HTC one's made available for the Orbit originally when WM6.1 came out. I've never worked with raw files and wouldn't have the foggiest about how to get them back into a flashable state. Sorry!
hi all am hoping to get this thread going again as im having trouble geting Unsigned-Hard-SPL-Diamond-OliNex onto my ignito. did any of you guys have trouble?
Hard SPL on ignito
I managed to install the hard SPl onto my ignito, but have been unable to flash a new rom.
Think the pre-installed works well though, I just installed the original black theme as the blue o2 one is pants.
Radio upgrade has been fine.
Biggest recommendation I have is to install the VGA version of quick GPS. It REALLY made a difference to my satellite lock times from like 10 mins to about 10 secs
no problems with it works fine mine was on o2 software using latest dutty's now.
give it a go, loads faster now

Hello Everyone, Have spent 6 Days hunting for "O2 Orbit Original WM5 Rom ARTE200 1.25.206.2" with little success
I am now putting a bounty on the head of this ROM in the form of a £40 Paypal transaction. I will make instant Payment after the ROM has been verified as the genuine ROM and then make the ROM available to all though Rapidshare, and with some luck help to un-brick a lot of O2 Orbits before O2 UK WM6 is released.
Contact me on [email protected]
Problem caused by - Updating ROM without running USPL on a CID Locked O2 Orbit, The device is USB Bootloader contactable but requires the identical original ROM to restore "Error 244 Device ID"
Many thanks to everyone for their continued help and support.

the only way you will find this rom, is either on o2 xda website after a WM6 update and hopefully they will do this as a downgrade option after upgrade to wm6.
or
the only other way is to know someone who works for o2 uk, there repair centre will have the only copy, and the only way to maybe even get a copy, is if you are good friends with someone in that department.
currently, there is no rom, for o2 anyway, yet.
goodluck finding it though, you just never know.

There is already a dump availalbe, but no known way to bypass the bootloader security to load it.
How are the guys at IMEI-Check unbricking them? Either they have a WM5 O2 rom (which means it has leaked) or are they hot-swaping/reflashing roms, or using some vulnerability in the bootloader?
Just out of interest, does anyone have an XDA that has been unbricked by IMEI-Check and did it show any signs of being disassembled?

thank you very much!
I would be very very grateful if this ROM appeared!
well, well...
not sure if i'm 100% if this is ground breaking stuff, but i just received my xda from o2 repair centre and when i went to put my sd card in phone there was one in it already from o2 which has WM5 image on it?!

This is indeed quite interesting, it is obviously a SD flash used for restoring the Orbit. If you could make an image of the SD card I'm sure there are many people here who would be eternally grateful.
well, this will be done as soon as i get home tonight, if someone is willing to host the file i will make it available,

I Just UNBRICKED my orbit with this
Hi. A BIG BIG THANX !!!!! I just unbricked my orbit with this. I tried to flash it with WM6 and failed to run the USPL and bricked it. Now using this original WM5 put it back where it was before I bricked it. I had usee Artemis USPL and replaced the RUU_USPL_signed.nbh with this and worked like a charm from boot loader. (record button and softreset) Now I can flash anything I want and bring it back if I brick it again. Thanx a lot. YeeeeeHa
Hey guys,
I'm new to this forum but I must say that I am very impressed abt the works done. I do have a very expensive brick!! Ya! Ya.. my orbit is a BRICK. well I didn't do it, A friend of mine did.. tried to flash WM6 mini O2 into the orbit and VIOLA!. A BRICK!! Well! I knew this wud happen but hey, it wasn't me who did it.Hence I'm in this forum day in day out. tried every possible thing. flashing with SD or MTTY, every thing U guys had offer but got the same device ID error. so far no hope, but am currently downloading the image thru rapidshare http://makus.folijka.pl/OrbitO2UK.rar. Have to get a rapidshare account though. Hope this works.... will post soon.... keep ur fingers crossed.
A Big Hug to step0011. for a hope.
And the rest for the XDA developers.. all i can offer is my wallet.cause I'm not a software developer, but am into hardware repairing. And I will post the results if any for u guys who keeps this forum alive and kicking.
cheers pof and to all.
Another happy WM5 Orbit user again. It has beena chore using an OLD spve200 for the last few weeks. Taught me a valuable lesson though.
Thanks for the up.
Bravo! And well done to the O2 service bod who forgot to take the MicroSD card out!
Now how do I use it? Put it on a SD card and switch on?
i just replaced the german rom file with the uk orbit one (renamed to match original) and then ran the update from windows (phone in bootloader via usb).
A little suprised it actually worked in vista!
Yippeeeeeeeeee!!!!
Fisrt of all whoever he is he owes step0011 40 bucks..
Lots and lots of thanks to step0011 for providing the ROM image and also to the guy who forgot to remove the SD card. He had made a lot of people happy.
Hi guys.
I did it. My orbit is alive and kicking. there is nothing to it, just download the ROM and run RUU. and VIOLA! good as knew.below are the details
bootloader (this is all I can see now but before when it was bricked it showed the GSM no. too )
IPL 1.25.0001
SPL 1.25.0000
Device information
ROM version: 1.25.206.2 WWE
ROM Date : 10/4/06
Radio version : 02.67.90
Protocol version : 4.1.13.28
ExtROM version : 1.25.206.10
Works like a charm. to think that I wud have to wait for official ROM release.
Now I can do anything I want. I can brick it as much as I can. and flash the WM6 ROM. Now I am thinking of tinckering with the ROM cooking steps u guys are telling abt. I'm going to customise my own ROM. . First of all to superCID the orbit. wish me luck.
much thanks to all who keeps this forum alive.

Great! Thanks!
Another question (which I cant find the answer to).. How do I go back to the stock spl? I have unsigned hard spl on here at the moment.
Also, do you know which version of the radio the Compact IV is shipped with in the UK?
I'm guessing the order to do things is..
1. Flash original radio
2. Flash original ROM
3. Remove hard spl..
Your help would really be appreciated! Thanks.
T-Mobile MDA Compact IV (Diamond/Victor) stock ROM/SPL
Hi beauchampy,
The Radio and Rom will be flashed together with the file previously linked:
RUU_Victor_TMO_UK_1.37.110.3_Radio_Signed_Diamond_52.26a.25.09_1.00.25.03_Ship.exe
The default SPL for T-Mobile stock from September until present day is 1.37
This should be the last thing to be flashed.
I have attached a zip with all the necessary files you need (credit to cmonex http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=2324829#post2324829).
Un-zip the archive, connect via activesync.
Copy "SSPL-Manual.exe" to your device (any directory)
Run SSPL-Manual.exe on the device - screen should go black...
Start "ROMUpdateUtility.exe" in the PC as usual for rom update.

Aside..Im done with t-mobile after this contract expires. Support is rubbish and really with the diamond they have put near to zero investment with keeping up with HTC's rom/radio releases. If they arent going to put the money to keep up with this then how about not doing your own awful pink and white version and brand the phone to high heaven. Then you wont have to re-develop something thats already available just to customise it to t-mobile. Leave the phone as it is and keep in line with HTC's releases. The other problem is the total lack of accessory support for the compact 4. Rant over. Apart from, Pink and white...whoever thought of that..
So enough about the ROM already, how about the SPL?!??!! Can I use this one or is there a Dutch SPL out there???
Anywayz... I didnt need the T-Mobile support afteral. Because I had to wait for the ROM update too long back then I began to flash ROMs. Thanks XDA for that.
My next phone wont be a T-Mobile branded device, might not even be a HTC device... That long expected Sony Ericson X2 makes me horney, and its finally coming out!!!
offtopic
Oh never mind about the X2, it uses the same chip set as his predecessor, the X2 is already the biggest disappointment of 2010...
Hello folks,
i am kinda new here, but i already spend three hours of searching on Wiki section of Hermes and this forum onto how to upgrade my Windows Mobile 5 to version 6.1.
I decided to choose a custom made ROM of Windows 6.1. Before i did the HardSPL upgrade, and now there is something i need to ask you guys.
Do i have to be afraid of screwing the device doing a straight upgrade to 6.1 from 5 ? I could find any clues on this.
Please give advice, thank you so much.
My advise is to go the 6.0 first purely for upgrading your radio to the latest release then flash with any 6.1 you want.
that emerges one more question- i am using the vodafone branded Hermes from UK in Slovakia /middle europe, so i should proceed to flash Win Mobile 6.0 first with which provided version of Win for best results ?
thatx again

Looks like it's got a 1.47.00.10 radio, so any of those will do ... actually best to follow this from day 1 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1990320&postcount=6
Edit my 4shared as the att stripped ROM without radio as flashing too many radios can lead to a brick, so yeah
i just checked my radio version, its 1.32.00.00. sry for one more question, but i am totally new and this device costed me so much
which version can i use now ? please tell me the exact name
other details:
windodws mobile 5.1.461 (build 15671.3.3.0)
rom version 2.04.161.2
rom date 01/19/07
radio version 1.32.00.00
protocol version 32.65.7020.09W
HARD SPL YOUR PHONE 1ST!!!!!!!!!
Just about EVERY cooked rom has this as the header.
At least if something goes wrong you have a chance to recover your "expensive" toy.
If you don't have it and something goes wrong, like for example you don't have a superCID device and flash a different carrier rom, you may be able to fix it instead of getting an expensive paperweight..... READ the tutorials, thats what they're for, so we don't have people calling for help. So many people would still have a functional phone if they took the time to do a bit of research.

Good morning icefirsr,
I'm pretty new at this as well, and have flashed my phone over a dozen times in the last week. Believe me, three hours is not enough research time yet. There are many things to learn, and some of these folks are extremely knowlegable about this stuff.
Those of you with a lot of experience, please correct any of the following you don't agree with.
This is what I have done, after reading a lot of different threads:
1) Do a HARD SPL first.
2) Unlock the phone, both cid and sim
3) Read about radios - I've settled on 1.47.30.10 - it seems to be doing well with both battery life and signal reception.
4) LEARN about the different types - NonRBSN, RBSN, lite, normal, full, compressed, non-compressed. Each has stengths and weaknesses concerning speed, storage utilization, stability, features - it goes on and on.
I've flash different flavors, and am on DVH_V27_NoBS. It's a 6.1 ROM, and so far, it is great. I believe it was released on 10/30/2008.
**(Please excuse my sig for not stating my configuration, been flashing too much, but may have settled on this one for a bit.)
I've been impressed with many - I like the PDACorner roms, version 11 was my first ever flash. I'm waiting on V27 to be re-released, the first iteration I had a few problems with, but liked the speed it offered, and especially like the CRC Device Update and Connection Wizard that was included. Speaking of CRC, I really like V13, and was using it before the current DVH rom I'm using - am anxious for V14, which may even be out now.
That said, this is addicting, even bought another 8525 on eBay for play/flashing purposes...
Could any of the more experienced folks please add to this? I don't want to lead anyone down the wrong path.
Thanks a bunch everyone.

please dont use caps, especially, when you are not right here, my first post already said that i did HARD SPL first
Johnzai thank you for a such long response, i am looking forward to flashing it, but i am still a bit afraid of flashing it from 5.0 to 6.0, because i dont know , which of the official 6.0 ROMS with radio update should i use to finally get to 6.1, i just cant find it anywhere

I would advise trying to download the official release from your cell provider first. I'm not sure if it's necessary to go from 5 to 6 to 6.1 - but verify this first. I would think you could go straight to 6.1 - perhaps upgrade your radio first to version 1.47.30.10 - I've used that version on both 6 and 6.1.
With the radio upgraded, then you could flash any 6.1 - as long as you've unlocked the phone, have you done that yet?
I would advise waiting for a post to verify this, or read a bit more about jumping from 5 to 6.1..... If I knew for sure, I would tell you instead of sending you to "threadland".
ok so far i have done this:
1.getting HARD SPL
2.doing SIM and CID unlock
3.updating RADIO to the one you mentioned , working fine, did some phone calls
4.i am gonna do a 6.1 win update straight ahead, its a cooked one,hope it works, anyone gives me a reason to not do this ?
ty
Sounds like so far, so good. I would advise reading the following post about types of ROMS:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=412895&page=113
Then, look at using this DVH Rom:

seeing as you use a T-mobile MDA IV NL like I do, can you tell me what the original HardSPL is ?
I need to reflash mine so I can send it back for repairs (bluetooth not working properly anymore), I flashed the above mentioned rom using the quick method (copy to internal storage) so I now have an original T-mobile rom and radio but the HardSPL still is not original.
Technically it should not matter for warranty but I would rather not take any risks and also restore the HardSPL, I just have no idea which one it is (1.34, 1.35, 1.93 from the SPL thread here on xda ?)

Restoring your MDA IV back to tmobile defaults is a bit tricky. You beter use the new rom update, a new SPL should be in the ROM (in the Chech version it was). I used the Chech ROM to resore my tmobile picture and used SPL 1.37, ROM 1.37 and radio 1.00.25.03. All of these can be found in the forum.

Well,
I've used custom roms all the way from dutty's to leo's... LAst week i've flashed the new t-mobile rom. I must say it is very stable and with a few tweaks it is a very good rom.
I did this flash because always with a custom rom there was something i didn't like or didn't work. The feeling i have from this rom (I'm also on the t-mo network of course) is that this one must be tested with the best settings and the best radio for this network... because i need an stable phone.

so the Chech ROM also replaced your HardSPL, which you then replaced again with SPL 1.37 ?
(why replace the HardSPL again ?)
I guess I will round up a windows PC and reflash using the the rom update .exe and see if my HardSPL gets replaced.
(I kind of asumed the HardSPL never gets updated with a rom update, hence my confusion)
Shame there isnt a way to update the HardSPL without a windows PC
Should the HardSPL not get replaced by the update I can safely use the 1.37 version from xda ?
I am useing this rom at the moment and it is very good and very stable and very fast rom.
With other roms i had problems that my phone wouldn't wakeup anymore and needed to softreset it. With this rom so far i do not have the problem.
Ofcause i only use it for 2 days so far but i will let you know how it will be after a while. For the problem that the phone does not wakeup anymore with other roms i had that problem after 1 day already so i think the t-mobile diamond is differend then the real HTC diamond.
Only the t-mobile colors are terrible but there are enough themes and skins to change it to what you want.

Did your HardSPL get updated too when you updated your rom ?
If no which HardSPL do you have now (if it is the original that is) ?
I run 1.40 olinex, it says wrong device ID.
?
I have original DIamond, is that problem?
I made a new rom which will work on DIAMxxxxx (all) diamonds.
It's full 143mb (including SPL and RADIO, so Stock, only diam200 is removed).
IF interested I put online. Made with Olinex nbh thing,
same problem here

Same for me
This ROM will fix that. Please, use it if you NEED it to save my bandwidth

(Its sfx-exe, no worries, not many people have 7z)

Sounds great. So this includes a stock signed spl?
It is 100% the same rom, and you will not get the Device_id error.
T-mobile service-desk WILL see this is not original T-mobile rom I think because ROM name is not the same (T-mobile instead of 1.93.blabal).
sms problem
Help, I flashed this new t-mobile ROM and now I an't send SMS. They stay in postvak uit. In tried flashing another radio and settings in comm manager. But nothing happends.
Try this, I had the same problem with several other roms.
Thank you very much. I tried it and after a softreset it is possible to send SMS now.
REmoved the rom.
It's really too slow
Sorry to bump this one, but does the t mobile NL rom update the SPL to stock?
I would like to install the new Feb 09 ROM from HTC. My Compact IV is from last August and Im just so fed up with the slowness and reception... but I dont want to brick it as I still have a year contract left (thats why never cooked anything) however I feel I could trust the ROM straight from HTC(?) This also seems to pretty straight forward to do.
...but Please let me know
- Is the installer 'PDA Phone ROM Update Utility 3.27.4.3' that comes with it safe to use?
- No need to hardSPL etc.. stuff?
- Will there be any issue as Compact IV is locked to T-Mobile?
Appreciate help... love my compact IV!!
Just to add to my post
I used the S/N in the other thread: ht824gn13492 to download the ROM from HTC. HTC didnt allow to do it with Compact IV's S/N. I hope thats ok... Think the ROM version downloaded is 2.03.405.3.
Thanks
...
I have compact IV too and I am using 2.03 roms (htc and cooked) without problems.You need hardspl to flash these roms (i have olinex 1.93). And I recomend you to flash rom by internal method. Good luck
What do you mean with 'internal method'?
And even if install straight from HTC, still need hardSPL?
Thanks!

Read this about flashing from internal storage.Mainly the second paragraph.And I thing that you need hardspl for any other rom except tmobile stock one.
I hope that will help you
hardspl
Thanks for your help. Just one more question: does your last comment mean T-mobile original ROM doesnt require hardSLP. Or better I install it anyway?
Thanks!!
Yes.Only (Tmobile CZ in my case)stock rom from your mobile operator
copilot
I think I will try install straight the official HTC ROM. I read somewhere else thread if updating official ROm you shouldnt use any HardSPL(?) Im not exp with this, and dont want to risk my phone...
I wonder will this affect the Copilot 7 installed by T-Mobile? i know its on the interanl memory (4GB) but were some parts in the phones memory that will be wiped away? dont want to loose it!!!
you cannot install the Official HTC ROM without HardSPL is what gajdik means.
Because your phone is T-Mobile branded (like mine) you can ONLY install T-Mobile ROMS, all others will fail (even official htc roms), to bypass this you must hardspl
Thanks... understand now.
What about Copilot, will I loose it? (does it have something in registry etc that will disable it, as the ROM is not from T-mobile?)
thanks

Yes this is what i mean
I have preinstaled tomtom 7 by tmobile and it works after rom update. But I am not sure about copilot...
Hi all,
I'm new to all this. I've got hold of the new HTC Rom that I want to put on my Compact IV, but can anyone give me a version of Hard SPL to use?
I can't seem to get any of the versions i've found so far to work!
Thanks in advance!
What version of stock rom do you have?And what versions of hardspl you tried?
I've got 1.37.110.3 WWE (the standard one that came from T-Mobile) and i'm trying to flash 2.03.405.3 (the feb 09 update from the HTC website)
I think i've managed to get the Olinex Hard SPL 1.30 onto the phone, but can't seem to make any progress.
Try upgrade to tmobile stock 1.93 rom and then try 1.93OliNex_HSPL_Unsigned from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2312363&postcount=2
This works for me

Thanks, I skipped the tmobile stock stage and it worked a treat with 1.93olinex and the latest HTC rom. I think you saved my sanity!
your welcome. Now I'ts time to bed for me
