I have crossbow rom and will share with anyone who can unbrick my Uni

I have the crossbow rom leaked and then removed from this board yesterday. Sharing the rom is risky, but I'll take the risk to get my Universal going again. I promise to share with anyone who can get my Uni going again.
I'll share the rom but I won't upload to this site or post links. We must protect this great site.
For my bricked Universal see this thread and what I've already tried:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=289878
Thanks.

Yes. I want it ;-).
Last time when my Qtek 9000 stuck in bootloader I installed the bootloader again and the he came alive again.

I wish it was stuck in bootloader. But the screen shows nothing no matter what I do.
As I managed to brick it when upgrading the bootloader I'm thinking I've managed to delete the bootloader...

I agree with jorry reflashing the bootloader can help, it was the soultion for me

Thanks, but tried many many times. The PC just doesn't see the device and upgrading bootloader or rom just fails.

if u wrecked youre bootloader i think u have a problem. the only way to flash that rom is to get it out of youre universal and then reflash it using an hardware rom programmer unit.
i doubt it someone is able to help u with this.
good luck

Crossbow
And where to get the Crossbow ROM now ;-)?

So, if its totally bricked then you won't be needing the crossbow rom any more so feel free to send it to me ;-)

I think if you have really nothing on the screen you will be forced to do a RMA

As the others have said there are instructions how to recover it but if you haven't managed it via them then I am afraid it might be a RMA.
You are welcome to PM me with details about the location of crossbow too btw

Re: bricked phone
hey i was wondering if this new crossbow you installed bricked your fone? does anybody know if this is the same version faria is working on?

No not at all. My Uni was bricked long before crossbow appeared. Its been sat in a dark cupboard for 6 months and I only became interested in unbricking it to try crossbow. Sadly I've given up on this one, but glad all other Uni owners have the chance to use crossbow now.
Anyway my current phone is a Wizard so I'm following the Chinese ROM conversion project with great interest.

Stupid question perhaps, but did you ever consider borrowing someone else's fully charged battery to see what happens? A device does not usually die from doing nothing, but a battery might.

Also try to upgrade on radio rom sometimes it bahaves the same as you have mentioned when radio rom is corrupt

Better Safe than Sorry - Do Not Want to Brick My Phone

I very much want to upgrade my O2 Orbit Rom to either WM6 or the B&B developed by Tom. Right now it apparently does not have the UK WM5 on it; according to the Ebay seller I bought it from I would have to go to the Hong Kong site to get an "official update" but the seller claims it would be better not to do so as people are reporting losing their radio and bluetooth. So I have read and re-read through these threads. I hear stories of phones not working after being flashed so I want to be super cautious. Here is what I think I do:
1. Run USPL and wait 5 - 10 minutes until the computer reboots itself.
2. Run either RUU for Tom's B&B or run RUU_Artemis_O2_UK_3.4.206.2_4.1.13.28_02.67.90_Ship.exe
for the UK WM6 upgrade.
And I should be upgraded, right?
If I end up with huge problems, I think I can revert back to the original factory ROM with the file called:
Arteimg.nbh
But how do I run a nbh file?
Which OS is least likely to cause problems?
Please be gentle with me - I'm a 51 year old woman who is in love with my Orbit and can't live without it so I don't want to take any chances to turn it into a brick. On the other hand, I'd really like to have WM6 and can't get it from the UK d/l site because my S/N matches the Hong Kong site. I live in the US and I'm not sure if I want a Hong Kong OS. I have honestly read through these forums and tried to get all my answers here .... but I just want to double check before I make a big mistake and blow up my phone. Thank you all.

don't worry, just run the USPL tool, after running this tool, it will reboot your phone automatically... Than flash your phone with a WM6 rom or the B&B rom... And thats it... make sure you backup your contacts before you do the flash, cause it will wipe all your contacts from your phone.
If you don't like the rom you flashed, just run USPL again, and flash it with another rom or back to factory rom.
If you've got any probs, just let us know... there is a lot of wizards out here, who are willing to help. You also can pm me anytime. I'm glad to help if I can.
cheers and goodluck

Beat me to it coolGadget!!
Anyway if you want to see how the Arteimg.nbh is used read this:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Artemis_SD_Card_Flashing
You'll need a SD_card to do it.
Good luck, but you wont need it as you seem to have done your homework and as co0lGadget says if you get stuck we'll give you a hand.

I think you have enough time, the whole procedure takes less than 15mins.
No need to take out the card, just follow the instructions above.

You probably do have time USPL take about 3 mins flash of ROM takes about 10-15
However these things are always best to do if you're not in a rush or desperate to get your phone up and running. Also if you put tom's b&b on you'll need about 30 minutes to just play with it

When your Phone have SPL 1.11 - just in case you're wondering this is one of the red numbers you see when the phone first starts up, but you probably already knew that.

Holding my breath
OK, I'm going to do it - soft resetting now. But before I take the plunge, will you wizards please tell me - will I have the least problems with the UK WM6 release (which I found posted here as I can't d/l it from the site) or Tom's B&B which looks very cool but seems to have caused problems for some people. I trust your judgement - please tell me what you think. And btw, even though I'm old I love gadgets and cool tricks, so TouchFlo looks awesome to me, unless it is going to cause problems when installing files etc as I've read here.

WM6 is ok but not that different from WM5 to look at and I guarantee that by tomorrow you'll have wanted to see what tom's rom is like and had to re-flash.
Since using toms rom i've been able to dump a lot of my third party software (mostly stuff from spb) and as you say it's very cool to looks at and will impress all your friends.

OK Tom's it is .......
Cross your fingers for me please ....

Postponing the Flash
Before I took the first step, I realized that my phone was not seeing my SD card. I decided maybe I had not seated it properly. I put it back together but this time it did not see my SD card or my SIM chip. I put it back together more carefully now but decided that I don't want to rush this - will proceed when I'm home tonight.
Thanks again - you guys are the best. Hope one of you will be around when I'm really ready.

You probably has the WM5 bug or something. With the WM5 rom, sometimes it will mess up your sd card with folders in strange caracters etc...
But you're right, if you want to do this, and its your first time, you better do it when you're not in the rush... just prepare good, sit back and relax, and the flash will be good ;-)
I'm not sure if I'll be able to get online tonight... cause my internet is shut off since friday, my provider can't tell me where the problem is, and how to fix it... So I hope tonight after work, I'll be able to get online at home. And be able to help you out if needed... so fingers cross...
GoodLuck...

I've been watching this thread and sorry to hi jack the thread. But, this was one of my questions about updating ROMS from original WM5. I haven't gotten the phone yet (P3300), but I want to upgrade it to B&B when I get it. Should I run the patch for the card corruption fix before I do the USPL and ROM flash? Or just go strait to the USPL and ROM update?
I've been reading for a long time but I'm still not very clear on what programs to use to flash and all that. I also want to be able to store my original ROM just in case I want to revert back to OEM. How do I do that?

I'll be using it on T-Mobile, USA. The phone will also be purchased in the US.
BTW, Just to clarify, I'm buying the phone from an online store, so the phone will be unlocked. I'll have to reconfigure it to work with T-Mobile SMS and T-Mobile Web service.

Just run the USPL tool and then the rom of your choice.
If anything does go wrong you can get an original wm5 rom from here
http://rapidshare.com/files/17854890...0_wwe_ship.exe
If you brick your device just go into the bootloader screen and run this it will get you back to wm5 and you can try again.

So I can't "dump" and store my own ROM? I have to download a dumped WM5 OEM from from someone else? I just wanted to make sure that I could put it back exactly the way it was just in case I needed to send it back or ship to HTC for repairs or something.
Also, will they be able to tell that the ROM was flashed and flashed back if I send it in for warranty repairs?

"The SIMUNLOCK"

I purchased this week a t mobile version of HTC artemis. as far as i know t mobile locks their phone, therefore i had searched XDA-DEV.. to find a free unlocking method apparently with no results. the only thing i found is method using a tool called SimLockTool_Artemis_Excalibur. As i understand many people looked and asked for that tool and because i found it somehow i just copy and paste link for those who still looking for it. Because i haven't got the device yet please report in any case of testing it.
Enjoy!
http://rapidshare.com/files/45997746/SimLockTool_Artemis_Excalibur.rar.html

need more?
i know that i haven't said enough for the tool. heres a thread that there is a discussion about the procedure you need to take.

This tool doesn't work. For that Info you just have to read the last Page of the toppic you linked...
Greets!

...<>...
This tool had been released by htc and its purpose is to lock your device by changing the IMEI but it also gives you the UNLOCK code for the specific IMEI.
I haven't test the tool yet cause i did not receive my device.
There is one thing that they haven't test yet, it says that you need to use the customized htc card which no one had to that.

sd card
does anyone have any idea where to get that card?. i mean do you get it with htc p3300(not xda orbit mda compact 3 or any other versions)?

nope, i tried with unbranded devices from england and switzerland with the same results as with my orange branded device. the program isnt doing anything. maybe their hardware checks for some code file or something that has to be on the card. or even a special type of hardware... i gave up for now

Can you please tell me which files you copy to your sd card?
Copy only the Artediag and the diagdata. DoNOT copy the cstdata into the card and also remove it from the directory which the .exe file is.
just a thought that i made it may works.
Sorry did not receive my device yet...

it doesnt work. btw, if you read the manual, it says "Insert the HTC customized key card into SD card reader".
further down it says "After this process, you will find a cstdata.dat file into the key card".
i dont think that a normal SD card will work. i can only guess that they delivered those special "key" cards to the providers.

i found some information about the sd card bootloader of htc wallaby of on the net i like to share it with you and see if you could get something ou of it.
http://www.xs4all.nl/~itsme/projects/xda/wallaby-bootloader.html
have a look around the links and there some toolls that may be usefull.

The Sim Unlocktool for the Artemis is only to LOCK the device.. not to UNLOCK..

Thats SOMEHOW..... TRUE.... but it provides a known unlock code...

why not YOU try to get something out of it? how many times do we have to tell you, it doesn't work. many in the artemis forum have already tried this tool and nobody got it to work. we don't need info about sd card bootloader of htc wallaby coz we also have our own info about sd card bootloader of htc artemis in the wiki page of this forum.

read my first post and you will see why i do not try the information i found.
did i got you upset with my post? if yes sorry m8 but the problem is not on me

yes, i've read your first post... and my answer is, you should wait for your device so you could try this tool for yourself, since you don't seem to believe those who've said it doesn't work.
and, it's quite funny that you asked me to read your first post, when you're the one who's not really been reading posts in this forum. coz if you've been reading posts yourself, you'll find that this tool has been discusses MANY times in not just one, but several threads as well. and in all of these threads, it's been said that NOBODY got this tool to work. and starting another thread doesn't change that.

@redski Maybe all this you saying is due to the fact that i haven't got my device yet and not test the tool my self. I really need to hope that there is a method to unlock artemis, i do not care about the money 30 dollars in our days is not enough to buy cigarettes , i just like to it my self. About what you said that i do not read the post in this forum, thats not true, see how many post i have and i am a member almost a year now. I never post a thread to resolve an issue that i have without research.

we would all be happy if you find a way to make this work (once you get your device). i personally wont further try it until i see really new facts. there are highly competent people in this forum who tried this with no success. who would i be if i'd think i can make it run

Is it possible to change the ROM without activesync?

Hi, i have a T-Mobile MDA Compact III (UK), as original, and want to change it from WM5 to WM6, i have been reading through the forums, and havent heard anything from people being able to change it without a PC connection. I can charge off USB, but activesync doesnt find it (tried with known working cables, and different PCs). I have come to the conclusion that when i charge it in the car, its got broken (as mentioned on one of the threads).
So, is it possible to CID unlock/change the ROM from the Mico SD card?
Cheers,

I had the same problem, just bring it backk to T-mobile, they will fix it

You can update copying the new rom on the sd card and doing an hard reset. There is a thread about this.

ok, cheers guys i think i'll go pay t-mobile a visit so i can hack my phone lol

You can flash only 'official' new system by SD. I've tried to flash other .mbh (and USPL too) but it impossible ;((((

Try this wwe rom, is for the same region as your device, with cht support, if this doesn´t work then wi´ll try to arrange the Chinese one.

Man, I thought i had it.. It finally went to the ruu on the boot loader screen started to update and got to 2%....
This is what it said
ERROR (244) : INVALID MODEL ID
This update utility cannot be used on your PDA phone. Please check your update utility click to exit..
DPRRH<68-ASVH55670-DPRRH568-ASVH5/01*
at least i got to see the ruu on the corner of the phone this time.
Any ideas what to do now?

I arranged this rom "P800_CHT_3.7.709.1 chs cust", i think it´s this one, it´s the most recent, , for p800w.
Though this one is CHT, CHS customized.

akk666,
Do you have a link for the rom in the last post?

Havent quite figured out how to change out the nbh in the ruu to get either of those to load like complete ruu..
Is there a program that makes this more idiot proof to change the nbh?? That would be nice.
Type nbh in.. it takes you right to it highlighted, then it has you copy your new one and paste in a command line then asks if you want to replace it..
Man thats what sucks abt being a newbie is that it takes sooo long to figure things out 3hr 20 min and still at square one..
lots of links though
