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

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?

who has the dutch windows mobile 5?

Hello,
My brother messed up his P3300 by putting on a WM6 cooked rom before CID-unlocking.
Now we have a tricolor screen, and nothing else. Not even the original rom of WM5. Does anybody have it? or know how to get it?
Country is the Netherlands
IPL is 3.13.0001
SPL is 3.13.0000
thanks.
bye bye
Makje

I do have the original dutch version of WM6 from HTC, but I suppose you can download that yourself om www.htc.com. I guess this should also work?

Hi, thanks for your replay.
Well, i need the original wm5 first, because it doesn't recognise the wm6 original one from the htc-site. Tried that to. But come to think of it, it was an upgrade.
Right now, there's nothing on the device. Only the tricolour screen
thought i try the wm5 first to see if it works.

Hi i got the backup files from the originele Dutch T-Mobile rom WM5. the only thing you need to do is put it together again. you can use htcrt for it.
Hopefully is works for you!

PPS: try to flash it from SDcard

My Orange SPV M650 is also bricked, has somebody the org. WM5 Orange ROM, thanks in advance.

I do have a dutch WM6 T-mobile ROM and a dutch WM6 HTC rom. One of them may be possible to flash.....
Apart from that. How far did you come? What happens when you push the power button? Do you get to the bootloader?
When I see your IPL/SPL I think you forgot to use USPL before flashing another ROM. You can try to use that now and flash the ROM of your choice.....

Well, I took the rom for WM6 of the HTC site. Like a good girl
It went well until i got to the 3% and it stopped the whole proces. It just shut down. If I push the powerbutton you can see the tri colour screen and the rest is in my very first post. My brother did indeed forgot to use USPL. I know. so then he came to me. Afterwards. Smarty-pants. Now we have a bricked device.
This is what i already tried:
- I tried SD-flashing. Nothing happened. (followed the instructions on the wiki-xda-site)
- i tried to put on the wm6 version of the htc site...got the 3% bit, and that's it.
- i tried to put an alternate rom on it, from the uk-idunnowhich-provider...nothing happened. also tried it with a german provider and with the dutch t-mobile provider, also 3% and than nothing (i.e. tri-colour screen)
so now, all i can think of, is to go back to basics...and just start of with the original wm5 rom. Than use USPL and THAN upgrade it. *sigh*
So that's the whole story behind it.

€20,00 reward if you can help me! Qtek 9100 dead after rom

The person who can fix this problem, gets a reward of €20,00
I have tried ROM upgrade on my qtek 9100 (English).
There was WM5 but I wanted WM6.
It is a G4.
I did everything as instructed.
I have used the following:
PRO_DT_NLD_220732_22007112_024721_Ship.zip
and for WM6:
RUU_Qtek_9100_AKU2_21878_024711_ESN_G4.zip
When the upgrade was completed I did a hard reset.
Now he does not get started, only the QTEK screen.
Also, he still does not connect with the computer.
He gives only the IPPL, SPL, GSM and OS.
So the person who can help me gets reward.
Grtz Ramon

can u go to the bootloader?? if yes go there and flash again... hope helps

Same as body85 said, reflash maybe you had a bad flash or some thing.
Or try to go to your older rom if that doesnt work either ten there is not much hope i think

Well since no one seems to know. I have the HTC banded Excalibur with the Dodpod 6.1 WM rom. The Dopod WM5 rom doesn't exist anymore. I am going to flash it with the T-mobile WM5 rom on this site. Are there steps I need to take before doing this? If I do and it gets stuck at 3% for wrong factory will the phone then be bricked?

There is no better ROM, that will depend on your personal needs, but believe me there are great ROM´s even better than the "official" ones...
Good luck,

Thanks and apreciate the response. But it has more to do with my first post of not being able to sync with PC. I was told that I need to revert the rom to the original. I have no idea what that is and since I can't use the SDA unlock app. I don't know if I don't unlock and it freezes when downgraded if I have an expensive brick on my hands.

I had issues syncing with my PC with WM 6.1. You can flash the original rom ( I used the original T-mobile rom) using the bootloader. With your phone off, hold the camera button and plug in ur USB then hit power button. the Tricolored bootloader screen should appear. You can flash your phone to the original rom from there. Once your phone is flashed, you might wanna think about flashing a WM 6.5 rom since the syncing problem is pretty much not an issue.
P.S. all of this can be found by reading through the threads.

is it not right here?
and to answer your question i believe that you would just need to flash an official dopod rom back onto it(using bootloader)...before proceeding with the reflash to the rom of your choice...the new 3vo rom is nice, by the way
