contacted imeicheck-people about wrong model ID flashing htc rom.
here their answers:
Hello,
you are wrong. For sure you try to flash a NOT compatible firmware.
It sounds like you try to flash HTC Artemis firmware on a HTC Hero or vice versa.
The HTC Artemis has different chipset inside (it has additional WiFi chipset) than the HTC Hero. (In case you just try to enable WiFi on a Hero... the WiFi chipset is missing, no firmware/software can replace a missing chipset + antenna)!
>From outside both devices look same but inside they have different hardware.
Flashing a ROM from another device most likely will cause serious damage to it.

and just a second later
Hello,
up to now only T-Mobile sells the HTC Hero (the version without WiFi).
Nevertheless you have the following options:
- flash any HTC Hero version you like (T-Mob-UK-English, T-Mob-GER-German, T-Mob...)
- to skip installing the "nice" T-Mobile branding immediately skip the installation of Extended ROM (a message comes up: "Please wait, device will configure in 3 seconds") after hard reset by sticking in "Reset".
We opened HERO device and it is missing the WiFi chipset. So we gave up to try to flash HTC Artemis ROM since there is no real reason to risk a device.

It this possible? "missing the WiFi chipset"?????
If chip is BlueLink 6.0 Platform: BRF6350(Bluetooth®,FM,WLAN) herehttp://focus.ti.com/general/docs/wtbu/wtbuproductcontent.tsp?templateId=6123&navigationId=12659&contentId=14646
then it is one chip!!!
Maybe WLAN Antena is not inserted?
Or it is another chip?
Lets wait some more - there must be a good reason for the Dutch MDA with WLAN ... not sure if that unlocking-company is correct ...
any dutch owners around?
whats your device id?
HTC = arte100
T-Mobile = arte110
O2 = arte200
if its not arte110, chance are 0 to succeed with flashing
dutch artemis here
I have a dutch Artemis with vendor id ARTE110. tmobile mda3.
Imei check is wrong... It has WiFi capabilities and in the dutch rom it's activated. It's the same device inside.. just another ID. I also unlocked the device with their services (imei-check) and it's not flashable with the ARTE100 rom..
Rom version: 1.13.114.1 NLD
Radio 02.49.90
Can you do a dump of the Dutch ROM?

Althought I beleive the "guts" of the HTC Artemis are based on the TCS3500 chipset from TI, the Bluelink chip is not used. The technical specification (page 201 of the HTC Artemis user guide) says that the FM radio is served by Silicon Lab's Si47001 chip.

It seems tmobile requested a different ARTE code this to prevent us from installing other ROM'S. The dutch code is ARTE110 as wel (I own one) but it has all the capabilities of the ARTE100, adding one and one this device is the same as the arte100. THis would mean if we can rewrite the software for the rom upgrades to take All ARTEXXX codes we will be able to excange roms. Its just a number.
I think t-mobile did this to stop us unbranding our devices the easy way: loading HTC / Qtek Roms thereby increasing the second hand value.
Its probably merely time that keeps us away from loading roms from different vendors.
... well,
in oder to prove this wrong or wright, we simply need to get our hands on a dutch rom (-upgrade). all of us having cid-unlocked our gadgets should be able to install this then and we should have wlan--- or not!
wifi
hi dunno if this helps but when the tmobile customisation kicks in it says remove btlnk as part of the customisation

sorry to say, but No doesnt help.
since i screwed up my extrom my mdac boots without any extrom files. after the first boot i get wlan in commanager and under connections! only downpoint: it doesnt function at all; and after another softreset all these entries are gone, only reinstallable by another hardreset.
we need a dutch rom to experiment further!!!
Dutch Extended Rom and some Windows files
Good day, please find attached the files in my Extended Rom with 2 additional files from the windows folder on my device.
Hope this might do some tricks on the WIFI problems.....
The Windows WIFI.zip inside the main zip file are the 2 files from the windows folder on my device. Might there by any other files needed, please let me know!
My device: T-Mobile MDA Compact III dutch version!!!
ROM: 1.13.114.1 NLD
Radio: 02.49.90
Prot: 4.1.13.25
Ext ROM: 1.13.114.101
Model: ARTE110

Never new dumping could be so frightening Anyway I believe the guys doing the "research" will be happy with how far you have brought us

Any news yet on the WIFI issue?
i am sorry to say, but all this seems rather pointless.
i managed to install:
ftp://xda:[email protected]/ARTE_DOPODAU_12570702_026990_WWE_SHIP.exe
which, afa we know, is complete with all wifi stuff, and it doesnt supply me with wifi on my hero(no wlan chip).

I already expected this. Ok, one more proof. I think we can now be quite sure that wifi is definitely not in there...
(hopefully) Breaking News
Good day,
While scrolling through my files, found the following link in \windows\startup
WiFiInit.lnk which points to WiFiInit.exe in \windows\
(see attached )
This might startup the whole wifi stuff at boot......
Please let me know if anything changed in the situation
i have MDAc 3 with flashed original HTC software and wifi dont work pda crash but original software is nice and quickly then t-mobile's OS
Hi,
To thormdac are you try to install rom from htc p3300 ftp://[email protected]/Ar...dates/ART_HTCWWE_11240501_026790_WWE_Ship.exe
Because rom ftp://xda:[email protected]/ARTE_DOPODAU_12570702_026990_WWE_SHIP.exe is with disable wifi
I'm sure that mda compact III have wifi - we need to install rom from ARTE100 OR ARTE200 not from ARTE110.
Look this http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Artemis_Versions

MODS : plz close the topic

Ok so i'm new to this custom rom thing but i'm kinda forced to it since I bought my Diamond in India and apparently htc doesn't offer updates on their site and I can't be bothered to go to the airtel website (wich is probably in Hindy ) and look for an update.
So I managed to update to HardSPL 1.4 using the tutorial thread (thanks btw, all worked like a charm ) and installed the radio 1.0.25.05 (according to the same thread the recommended version)
So now i'm seeing many roms out there and have absolutely no clue wich rom to choose.
Maybe some advice ?
Here is my wishlist/stuff that matters
I'm based in Holland, so i'm bound to end up with one of the major providers here and gonna go for some hsdpa contract.
I'd love my HTC to be faster
I like the msn thing, but it's not required.
I don't want to be running beta/buggy softwares, my pc runs that kind of softwares, not my phone
Also i've seen (after installing the radio rom) that in a different thread there is a lot more different radio roms, with people liking the some better than the one reccommended in the tutorial post, is there a better rom and should I use it ? (better gps, faster, less batt usage ?)
Best are 1.93 rom for the "fast" part you asked but it's getting old (like 6 or 8month i guess). After you will want to go for a 2.03 rom which provides you more functionalities.
I will advise you Hikari rom, udK Syrius Topaz or Shaks or nataly. These are the rom I try every time there is a new release, I change rom every 1 or 2week so better is you check yourself.
You must have HardSPL unsigned edition for some of these rom, it's the same procedure as 1.4 SPL.
BTW, you know you can upgrade directly from your internal storage?
just put your nbh file in your storage card with the name "diamimg.nbh" (stands for Diamond Image) then reset while pressing VOL_DOWN + BACK (the button up from the hang up button). After this, you will see a HardSPL like screen (red blue green) then a gray~light blue screen asking to press the power button to upgrade.
You can do this for radio, spl and rom. It's quicker, safer and better IMO.

Hi,
Is there any way to overlock the ks20 or just accelerate the hardware ?
cuz things like Shadow of Legend PPC r just not workin as they r used to.
I read http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=339745 but there wasnt any result i think ...
Hope u can help me ..

Spocky's 20.5a rom already contains the best drivers available for 3D. Sometimes, Omnia DDraw drivers take out the best for games : http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=105436&d=1218460506
Overclocking or other drivers solutions won't help you much.
hi to all ... please to answer at one question ..... i search the internet yesterday and today and i read a lot of tutorials from wich i learn a lot of things about how work this awsome device .... it's my first htc and my first windows mobile phone and i'm proud of my choice ( but this is another story )
..... my diamond have a branded ROM , a vodafone one , and i want to install a new ROM - WWE 7.5 FULL ..... especially i want to change the language , because now is german , i'm roumanian , and i want english on it : )) ... well done i downloaded all necessary files to start the job ..... but my enthusiasm was knocked-out because i meet the next screen ( see the photo )
so....what should i do ? and what am I doing wrong ? ... i follow conscientios all the instructions :
- battery is full
- usb cable is well connected to PC and Phone
- standby and hibernate modes are turned off
- i have a correct ActiveSync connection between Phone and PC .... including Outlook
so if you will tell me what to do i will be verry gratefull
thanks in advance
have u downloaded and flashed the hard spl? if not do it...
see this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=416211
i just attach a photo....the problem was because the server don't let me , as a new user , to atact an external link to a photo sharing site .... excuse me for this mistake
this is the step where i remain...the first step....i was'nt able to pass hard spl
uhmmm i never saw this error...
Put it in bootloader mode and try again
and how can i put my diamond on bootloader mode ? ..... by pressing volume down and reset keys in the same time ... and will appear a screen with some text informations and 3 different colors ?..... I do this few hours ago and then i lose a lot of time to do my phone work well again ...are you sure is this exactly what i need to do ?
sorry for this words , maybe you are an experienced member of this comunity and you don't deserve this , but i want to be sure
use internal storage method...is easy...in the rom you download there is a file .nbh rename it to diamimg.nbh then copy in the root of the internal memory
soft reset then hold the back button and the vol down button...follow the instruction on screen...and if you want do a hard reset after...simply soft reset then vol down + central pad button...follow the instruction..and you'll be ready
Salutare...
