Windows Mobile 6 for HTC P3300? Newbie's first flash! - P3300, MDA Compact III ROM Development

Hi all,
I'm a newbie and I try to flash my first ROM!
Therefore i'm looking for an simple and "up-to-date" step by step instruction to install windows mobile 6.X ROM GER (preferably Mossi's German ROM) on my P3300 (with windows mobile 5).
I know, that there are already a lot of posts concerning this topic, but I loose the overview!
Please help me!
Thanks!

First of all download and run (device have to be conneted by ActiveSync) Artemis Update SPL (USPL),
then just run RUU (in most cases: ROMUpdateUtility.exe) from extracted new rom archive.
Thats all.
Yours device battery must be charged

What Korro says, and for a general overview / read the rom section in the artemis wiki, or look here for a very brief step by step instruction by me
Strange: three different threads, helped with one instruction? Apparently some basic information isn't as easy to find as it should

Thanks to you both!
I got it! I flashed my HTC successfully!

Help please!
Hi,
it's my first try to update my rom. I followed the instruction above, and after the 3-color screen the wizard gets up to 3% and stops displaying error saying the image file is corrupted!!
Can you help me please??

It worked fine, the SD card was the problem..

I have the same problem with that error at 3%... I've tried to run start_uspl.exe first, but it doesn't start at all... I don't have either SD or SIM card inserted in the PDA.
What should I do?
Thanks.

had that quite some times a long time ago as well, nearly drove me mad!- try restarting xp, use a diffrent usb socket and restart your p3300..just keep on trying...its one of those things, though deffinately is the image not corrupt..

Alright ROM upgrading lesson: plugin the Universal into the USB of your laptop or PC and make sure Activesync is installed and detects it on your laptop. Next run the executable file for the ROM upgrade and it should go smoothly. Just follow the instructions till the end of the ROM upgrade.
Now if you are looking for the best and most stable ROM's, xda-developers would be a good place for it. The reason why I dont like official shipped ROM's from companies is because they are outdated and usually lacking a lot of features. Orange ROM's are very slow and take up a lot of memory. Ofcourse company ROM's have their benefits like the Orange start menu and main menu looks completely different from all ROM's released to date, company ROM's also most likely contain more drivers to support things like blackberry connect software.
Now if you are looking for a nice stable/best/latest ROM xda-developers would be a nice place. You can download Helmi's AKU 3.5 ROM which is the best we have to offer at the moment and is also the best on the net. Helmi's ROM must be extracted, its in .rar format which is just like .zip and then you have to run the executable file in the folder you extracted it to. Everything will go fine if you follow instructions and dont do anything weird.
thanks nuclear
its this the rom you were referring to Helmi Rom AKU 3.2

thanks again nuclear...
another stupid question... hmmmm is there a procedure to install it inside the .rar file? or do i just simply connect my EXEC to my pc then run the installer on my pc?
thanks alot

download winrar and install it, right click on the file you downloaded and click extract to folder..to extract the contents of the rar file. Next you have to connect your device via USB and activesync must detect and synchronise with it. Then in the folder where you extracted the rar file there will be an executable file romupgradeutility or something. Just follow the steps it tells you and you shall be fine. Dont worry if the screen turns black or anything
try this

thx mate, i been looking for this ROM for some time now..once again thanks; and maybe u got XDA Cosmo ROM , eh ?

Yes - PLEASE that would be great
I have a german XDA Cosmo running the original XDA Cosmo ROM.
And I also managed to make a backup with bkondisk
BUT what I have not been able to find out so far:
how to make an installable package out of that?
something like nbhgen
would be needed AND I think you'll have to sign the resulting .nbh (or maybe it would work with the engineering SPL 1.11???)
So if I find out I'll upload - but I also would be very happy if someone already having this XDA Cosmo ROM would upload
I want to have a backup before flashing other ROMs - and believe me I want flashing the Dash ROM (or the german MDA Mail ROM) sooo bad since I've heard that TomTom 6 runs perfectly on it (unlike on Cosmo ROM where it's nearly unusable )
hi,
please
as to the rom i sit tight and wait
as to the tomtom issue i have read some threads that it is running perfectly on dash. at the moment i managed to get tt5 working on my device , not tt6. i tried to instal the version i am suing on my ppc with no luck. the installation ill not succeed.
what tomtom u using and what ROM is ur device running ?
one more question ?? since i flashed new HTC ROM i am experiencing one issue..eg ill open IE or any other application even go to my contacts and the device will automaticly with 5 seconds or so go back to today screen. any solution please !

have a look at Start-Settings-Homescreen-timeout (sorry if not correctly translated) - It sounds like it is set to "10 seconds" - it's the time where the phone switches back to homescreen when not in use
hi, are u using genuine tomtom or cracked version ?
as to the time out i figured it out yesterday..you are right with ur solution .
cheerz, cudo
TT 5.2 genuine and registered
TT6 *cough* "Test" Version (and I'm happy that I didn't buy without testing before )
if you have the original xda cosmo german rom would you please upload it?i need it badly now.thanks

Hi everyone,

Could you pls tell me where to get this ROM and the utility that let me install this ROM on an HTC device.

It's one of the most stable Rom I ever had... I tried all of them... They hav all their spaciality but Ax3l is simple and has only the most important things in it. All the rest can added seperatly.
This rom works with all software you can download.
Have a good day

no, you don't need to have it cid-unlocked. everything is in this great forum! read this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=311403
after you've flashed your phone with the USPL, you can have ANY rom you want on your phone!
if you got tired of the rom of your choice, you can change it again! simply flash your device once more with the USPL, then flash with another rom of your fancy. as great as that!
remember, as a precaution, just ALWAYS flash your device with the USPL first before you flash again with any rom.
Thank you - however, Its not clear to me what that mod is for? Are there any PDA's out there which have gps, phone, wifi, bluetooth yet support SDHC?
Thank you!

using it for nearly a day now, i can only say: i am amazed!
not that i dont appreciate all the stuff from our amazing cooks!!!! , but this rom is by far simply the best working!!!!!!!
fast and responsive throu all i do with it! no little "aw, this aint workings"
all i am missing, i simply customize via cabs from the collections.
just on the side: feels to me "loading the battery" is more "solid" here - takes a little longer, but in combination with an originally implemented radio rom....this makes me think....works better than all the "draining roms".
just my opinion a.t.m
thanks guys.... i'll try it right away...
was looking for it!!!!!!
hey guys
could somebody be so kind an publish / upload some screens?
is there any german translation avaible?
anyway, thanks for the links!
Does this support SDHC
