Can someone explain this?

I've got the HTC P3300 for a few months now. I wanted to upgrade to WM6, which I did. Everything is fine.
Now I want to downgrade to WM5 WWE, but it doesn't work.
My pda is not sim-locked, but it still fails. There are a lot of threads regarding this, so I wont ask this, but ..... What the h*ll is CID lock?
I have read a lot about this, but I don't understand. Where is it good for, why can I upgrade, but not downgrade?
Please, can someone explain this in a simple yet effective manner to me?
Hope to read soon,
With regards,
Ronald.

And bootloader?
oh, yes,
What is the bootloader mode? How do I get there, and what does it do?

If you want to know specific what CID is and why to run USPL, you should ask the master-mind behindt the prog. him selv (Clik on "USPL" further down.
If you have the correkt original ROM made for you unit it should not be a problem to run it without using USPL. But personally i use this genius lille flash (just in case) - Why take any chance
Follow thise instruction and it should go great
Hard reset your device
Run USPL - klik here for further explanation

Here you can see hov to access bootloader..

I have downgraded my orbit easily after running USPL utility. This utlity is to temporary unlock the phone. Please try to downgrade or upgrade after this tool run to unlock CID
(The bootloader is invoked by pressing down the Power and Voicedialer buttons simultaneously, and using the stylus at the same time to press the RESET button at the left side. Continue pressing the two buttons for a few seconds after pressing and releasing the reset button until the bootloader screen appears)

just to point this out because a friend of mine misunderstood this: this wiki article shows both how to do a hard reset and also how to enter bootloader. you dont have to do a hard reset first to enter bootloader. just do what abshie wrote (even though i dont think pressing the power button is necessary).

You are right

I just mentioned the way to enter boot loader is because he asked for it.
No need to do anything in the bracket to upgrade or downgrade OS.
Just run USPL and you can easily do it.

you use the bootloader mode for... well, for upgrading and downgrading your ROM, for one thing!!!
you can always downgrade, but remember, first you must run the USPL each time you want to change your rom. then you won't have a problem. you don't even need to downgrade to your original rom, unless you bricked your device. but if you didn't brick it and you just want to change/downgrade your rom, just run USPL first then flash your device with your choice rom!

My First Brick..... :eek:

Hi guys. I have installed loads of ROMs onto my trusty hermes yet today, when trying to flash DuttyThroys Ultra Ultra Lite rom this happened: i downloaded ROM and installed it, it seemed to install fine, got to 100% and then came up with error message stating that Image File was corrupt. Now my hermes is stuck on the multicoloured bootloader screen?!?!?!? I have SPL 2.10. Hard SPL V7 HERM 100 IPL 1.04 (Dont know which of these is relevant to anythin?) .I have read the WIKI on repairing bricks but for my problem it says to reflash any nbh without radio. How is this possible if i cant get my pc to connect to my hermes???
Tried the method of turning off usb connection in active sync, removing battery, reconnecting to usb and running mitty (command SET 14 0) but nothing happens. Mitty says CMD error and active sync doesnt reopen the connection like the guide says! Man i hate this cuz i have now become one of those annoying noobs who has bricked their phone and hassles everyone for help!!!!
Have also tried to flash from sd card but nothing happens, flicks to white screen with LOADING... on it for 2 secons then flicks back to that wonderful multicoloured screen of joy!
Any help will be appreciated guys, cant live without my hermes!!!

Welcome to the fuc... nightmare world of the brick,i'mma in your same situation,now my Tytn is a piece of white stone,and it seems there's no reason to bring it back to live!
I can't stay without my Tytn i do a lot of things with it,Skype,SIP calls,Mail,Messenger,Memo,Internet......i'm in totally despair!!!

you should be able to just reflash a known good rom.

Brilliant story! both compelling and rich. But i have already explained that my pc doesnt recognise my hermes so how do you RECOMMEND i flash??

IT could be interesting to make the minimal effort to go and read the wiki.
anyway:

With the microsd card...

right, its looking good. managed to begin flashing (bar has stopped for ages but having read this is normal im not so scared!) using the SD method. Where my device wasnt superCID i had to use the matching ROM (Orange) to my CID (which incidently i dont know, just downloaded both Orange ROMs).
While im waiting ill try and help you TETSUO! (Im a noob so probably cant!)
Is your device SuperCID??? tell me as much as you can about your device SPL etc

dude, if u read my post u would have seen that i have tried SD method once (sing Black 3.5 not ORANGE ROM), im not crying and im grateful for any help but when i get advice such as 'flash a rom' im gonna be pissed!

And i have read ALL the page on unbricking!!!

It worked!!
One more question, as i have installed a stock Orange ROM do i now need to reinstall HardSPL v7??

Are you on a Win XP or a Vista PC?

XP dude, sorry should have said! and thanks
i went into bootloader, still says 2.10 olipro but when i try to update to new ROM (Black X RC)and pick autodetect it says it says unknown version, use SSPL. it never used to say this so i assume i need to install HardSPL 7 again???

with the tri colour sceen, when you plug the usb cable in does it go from serial to USB ?
what OS have you got ?
just my 2 cents hope it helps.

dude, i have got past that problem and have managed to install an Orange ROM onto it. i only need to know ow whether to install HardSPL v7 again!

sorry slooooooooooooooooow typing
good question hope there an answer,

just saw your post if ur device is hardspl you just need to supercid your device, If your spl is still showing hardspl and its coming as a error that normally happens to me as well just manually click spl 2.10 and tick (is it hardspl?}

To recap, i have now managed to flash a stock Orange ROM from SD card ( i think the reason it didnt work first time with SD is because device isnt SuperCID and i was trying to flash Black RC, soon as i used Orange ROM (my device is M3100) it worked. I am now back to a fully operational device. I wish to go back to Black but when i AutoDetect what bootloader i have it recommeds SSPL method. Before all my problems it would always automatically pick 2.10?? Does this mean i need to install HardSPL v7 again??

it was HardSPL v7 before all these problems, but im a noob so dont know if it still is?? would installing Orange ROM from SD Card remove HardSPL?? Bootloader still shows SPL as 2.10 oli

If you only flash the orange os.nb only then your hardspl wouldnt have changed so its safe to flash your device just manually choose.
If you want to flash hardspl again then do it on a precaution method

Mark,
First of all well done for getting yourself out of a hole. It seems quite difficult to ask for help these days without being shot to pieces even when you have first tried to help yourself by doing all the right things, which is more than can be said for some who come on here asking for help. So well done again.
Re your question, I would reflash Hard SPL anyway to be sure; however before you do that go to the Mr Vanx's guide on hard SPL (forgot the link but type in www.mrvanx.org and you should be taken there) and follow his instructions.
Good luck.

HTC S621 stuck on bootloader; need WM5 ROM?

I have an HTC S621 with a provider of Cenntennial. I recently tried upgrading to WM6 but I lost power-- now I'm stuck in the bootloader screen. I downloaded a WM6 ROM to try and reflash from the bootloader but it said not the right update utility or something like that.
Will WM5 ROM do the trick? If so, does anyone have a link to one?
Thanks!

You will need ANY upgrade file from Centennial. Unless your phone is CID unlocked, which I highly doubt. Just go to their website or something and see if they have any OS downloads..or Google!

Cenntennial has been nothing but a stick up my ass since I signed with them.
Okay, so I'm probably just going to pay and get it unlocked. Soo.. can it still be unlocked even when stuck on the bootloader screen?

Press the camera button and hold it down for about 5 seconds, then plug it in to a USB connected to your computer while still holding down the camera button... and now you can flash your phone with the original (official) rom the phone came with... you can find the official rom below in my signature...

He already IS in bootloader mode.. doh. And the official ROM isn't in your signature...

[Q] NOOB HERE Please HELP!!

Im new to flashing on win mobile based phones and i just needed to know a few things
1.Do i hard reset after the upgrade has completed auto customization or in the middle of boot up process?
2.I used the sim and cid unlocker v3 and it automatically flashed SPL 1.40 OLIPro, can i upgrade to HARDsplv7 without losing Super CID and unlocked sim attributes?
3.Im using a windows vista comp and i realize every time i revert to cingular stock rom i cannot upgrade i get errors, does it work if i run the wrapper in compatibility mode?
Im Using a Cingular 8525 Thanks for the help

here's what i knew;
1- i think you should do the hard reset thing when you see the screen calibration applet, i used to do it by that.... but for 2 and 3.....nothing much i could help.....got few ideas in mind but wont say it....i dont really want to trash your valuable hermes....i suppose you should wait for a better man to help you....regards

Answers:
1.- This is my way to flash and is prettie fast
-Flash stripped att stock rom, it boots, and fast put it into Bootloader when you see red words
-Flash your new custom rom, and fast do hardreset when you see the red words
2.- Yes you can... sorry... you MUST!!! to change to V7 just flash it as any other rom
3.- The main suggestion is to run the wrapper in XP i never tried before compatibilitie with XP execution on Vista, but you can try or... put a JAVA emulator machine in your vista... and run a virtual XP machine and do upgrades in the virtual JAVA machine

S-On Problem

Hey guys,
I have an unlocked At&T M8 which I'm currently using in the UK, but for some reason won't receive OTA updates (still stuck on 4.4.3). HTC Sync doesn't seem to work either, with it stuck on 'loading data'. So I stupidly decided to flash a rom without backup...
Since my hboot is still 3.16, WiFi doesn't work on any with any of the roms i have flashed. Is there anything I can try to at least get the WiFi working without paying $25 for sunshine? I can't seem to find a rom that supports 1.x firmware; if anyone could point me in the direction that would be awesome.

Run the AT&T RUU. Personally, I would gain S-Off and convert to WWE/Europe. But the RUU is your best second option.
You can find the RUU and instructions on how to update your system manually on the official US HTC website. Link here.
Realize that RUNNING THE RUU WILL WIPE YOUR PHONE!!! So make sure to backup anything that is important to you.

Thank you, however HTC sync doesn't work so I downloaded the RUU from the link. The installer automatically shuts off after I accept licensing (I have relocked bootloader and put the phone in fastboot mode). The only PC in my house is running windows 8.1 :crying:
I even tried this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2735235, but windows won't let me open the rom.zip. Is there another way to flash the RUU on to my phone?
Also, do I need to download a recovery image if I'm using the RUU?

Its a somewhat common issue. Might be the Win version, or USB 3.0 ports. If your PC has USB 3.0 ports, I saw a user mention you can turn off this function (make them 2.0) and that seemed to help the RUU.
Otherwise, you might need to borrow a friend's PC.

That guide is very clear what CIDs it works for, and yours is not one of them.

Thank you for the help. I got the RUU to work on a computer running Windows 7.
I know I have to relock the bootloader to have the RUU work, but the computer, and thus RUU, doesn't detect my phone in fastboot after relocking my bootloader. Fastboot displays 'fastboot USB', but the RUU doesn't detect anything. Before relocking, the computer detected my phone.
I have installed the latest HTC sync manager, so all the drivers should be installed.

I can't tell if you are asking for more help, or just making a comment (and the RUU ran successfully)?
Having the bootloader locked, relocked or unlocked should have no bearing on whether fastboot connects or not. I think something else is/was going on, and the bootloader lock is just a false symptom/condition.
