Unable to boot up after upgrade ROM to WM6

I follow instruction in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=313486 but after hardreset.
My p800w is stuck in T-Mobile logo and version number. It can't continue booting up to windows mobile.
Question: How to flash ROM without ActiveSync?
How to recovery my Artemis?
Welcome any advice,
Thanks in advance.

Yea me to, mine is now a brick after that upgrade? No active sync connection possible and all I get now is the blue O2 start screen after the hard reset with the red writing and numbers in the top left hand corner..
Phone is an UK XDA Orbit
IPL 1.25.0001
SPL 1.11.0000
GSM 02.67.90
OS 3.4.0.0
HELP!!!!!!!

yeah, I had the same problem and have created a thread for it already. unfortunately I got no useful replies, and it seems that I am stuck waiting for an official o2 ROM so that I can recover my Orbit.

It seems there is a way to un brick our phones I just need to get my phone bootted into bootlader mode which no one seems to say how to do??
Can anyone help how I can boot my Orbit , like what combo of keys I need to press to boot it into bootloader mode then XP will see it at a driver level apparently Active Sync still won;t but I will be able to run some German ROM update with the ROM file replaced with the other ones and it may come back to life..
Help how can I boot my phoen in bootloader mode???

Correct and use mtty
Already see in the forum ....

Thanks guys and apologies for the spelling..I ran the Artemis_USPL before I tried upgrading to WM6 and again have been able to run it after with my new brick now with the phone in bootloader mode but still when I try and run the german ROM update a) it will only work with the german file which freezes @ 3%? This seems to be a known problem reading around and b )when I replace it with the smaller ROM file, 54MB the german one is 66MB, I originally tried to use it doesn't read the ROM file or the update utility doesn't want to read it. I reckon I might be able to get it back if I can get one of the ROM update utilities to read a good ROm file and send it to the phone.
I can;t find this MTTY program to sniff the USB port and return the code of if the USPL util wokred as I think that could be key to all of this.
Can anyone post a quick how to here for
1) install MTTY from somewhere
2) what command to run agaist the phoen to see if the USPL util worked and what values I should be looking for
3) another WM6 ROM version (that the update utils can read) download location I can download from to try and send to the phone using the German update util
Not asking for much am I but I desperately need my phone back WM5 or 6 in the next day or so so really can't send it off.
Thanks

Error message I recive at the 3% stage when using the German ROM and english update util.

use the file attach and read that :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=285112

Thanks but I'm not that cleud up on what commands I'm meant to be sending. It works in Bootloader mode I ge a response from the phone by send it a command. But even if I get a response telling me what the CID status is its not much help as I think ti shoudl have tekane BEBEs ROM by now as I've got the german ROMUpdateUtility sending that 54,272KB file to the phone but it stops after 3%. What are my options?

That's right. On older models MTTY was quite useful, but not on the Artemis. You cannot use it to read the CID status anyway. If you are not sure about the status, run the USPL tool, just to make sure.

I've already re run the USPL ROMUpdateUtility and it completes 100% okay in bootloader mode. But after I hard reset and then try and flash the WM6 BEBE ROM or any ROM German etc back onto it it either fails with the error code I posted up earlier or gets to 3% and fails.
What are my options at this stage? Does anyone have a link to another ROM I can try like the original WM5 O2 ROM or any other WM6 ROm that might work. I'm willing to give them all a try as it's just a useless phone right now and I haven;t sent it off as 1) I need it before the weekend and 2) As I can flash some ROMs with the USPL and others have done this no problem I really feel there must be a solution as I can still falsh the phone.

What can I say RTFM... I did it all right and I didn't have a brick, I missed out one small detail... loading on the ROM with the extended ROM. All now running and it does seem a little faster than WM5.
Thank you to all those that tried to help out. To the others that are still having probs.. Don't try and run the update in the middle of a busy day in the office whilst trying to manage 100 other things meaning you are probably missing out a line like me...
One question though how do I get back my O2 power and storage meters on the today screen back as I liked them and the WiFi seems to have a bug where when it is enabled and you click on the WiFi symbol up the top it only allows you to switch it on, when it is already on.. so you have to open up the COMM manager to switch it off.

So how did you fix it exactly? I have read this thread thoroughly and can't find out what you did!

ERROR[206] occurs while trying to update ROM to WM6
While tring to update ROM to WM6 on O2 XDA Orbit i encounter ERROR[206].
I wanted to attach the screen shot but dont know how to do that, but anyway what i am doing is i attached my pda to my pc via activesync using supplied usb cord. Everything goes well till i reach a screen where it says "You are now ready to update your ROM image...." and once i click next a progress bar apperas and my pda shuts and activesync exit's automatically and my pda tries to restart with RBG band and some text:RUU, IPL 1.25.0001, SPL 1.25.0000 and USB. And thats it after few seconds or a min i get the ERROR[206] and my pda hangs.
I dont know why Activesysn shutsdown ???
Just an additional in i want to tell that without installing activesync i am not able to connect/pair my pda with my pc. So do i need to install the drivers and then try or it doen't matter cause once i install Active sync i can connect the device.
Please help me with this....
Thanks

Bootloader
I had a problem with my phone loaded touch flow 4 and cid unlocking, everything was fine then after a while it froze at boot up.
I look put the battery and did a hard reset, put it into bootloadeder mode, reflashed with a t-mobile rom does not need to be cid unlocked to do that.
Once origonal rom was working, cid unlock again, flashed back to touchflow 4.0 - sorted

Where did you got an tmobile rom from can you tell me. Mine is also freezing on booting almost once every day or so after I've upgraded to 4.0

Moving from O2 WM6 to BB v 4

Hi all,
Plz bear with my ignorance when it comes to upgrading ROMS etc.
Basically yesterday I upgraded to O2's official WM6 ROM .... and find it "not so good". It is slow to respond etc( i found it slower than my WM5 )
So now I wanna move to BB4, question is how do i do it??
I have downloaded an Artemis_USPL from Prof. So what are the steps I need to do??
Is it ...
1) Run start_uspl.exe from the zip file and let it complete.
2) Run( double click ) the img-46785-Tom_B_B_v4_0_TouchFlo_Professional.exe
Is that all I need to do?
Also, if I brick it .... what do i need to do to revert to an original ( say o2 WM6 ROM) ... is it USPL it again then run the O2 rom??
Many thanks
Fahd

yep, thats what you need to do. both 1) and 2) will need some user input and after it's done the device resets itself. so after 1) wait until restart is complete, then do 2).
for your original roms you dont need uspl. but if you are not completely sure, run it anyway.

Thanks for that. Time to give it a whirl! Wish me luck!!

Hmmm doesnt wanna play ball.
Did the above and ran uspl .... got stuck on a white screen. So I rebooted the Orbit and tried running the BB4 .exe ... got to 3 % and told to that .......
Error 270: Update Error. The image file is corrupted. Please check your update ultilty.

Can anyone help?? It will not upgrade ROM.
I keep getting the white screen and it cant run ROM utility(Error 224: Device not responding ).
I then reset the device and run BB4 ... I get to 3% and then I get error:270 ( image file is corrupt ). I have downloaded the ROM again and still get this error.
Any helpers out there??
Thanx
Fahd

I had the ame problem mate. What you need to do is revert back to the original 02 WM5 Rom which can be found on this forum somewhere. Then once installed, run uspl & then the BB4 Rom & hey presto your sorted.
For some reason i couldnt get uspl to work on WM6 02 rom either

Hi fadhp,
Ensure that your windows firewall is disabled and also you shut down any anti-virus programs running on your PC
I also found that turning off all the plugins on the today screen helped me to upgrade my O2 orbit.
I went through the same issues as you with corrupted images at 2% , however following the steps above helped me.

The firewall was disabled and so was AV ... so not sure about next steps.
I thibnk I shall try downgradind to original O2 WM5 rom and then upgrade ....
question is where in this forum is that Rom!! I had seen it before but as usual when u dnt need something you find it and when you need it u cant!
Will keep on searching .... anyone know the link plz save me some time!
Thanx

The link for the original O2 WM5 is in post #13, the 3rd one down.

Thanks for that.
Downgraded to WM5 now .... and tried to run BB4 .... still no joy. Same error.
Maybe i'll try another ROM just to see if that works and if it doesnt then MUST be my PC or something.
Here goes!
Cheers guys will kepp u posted.

Tried another machine ..... XP SP2 not FW or AV still failed.
Always get to 3% then crash.
HELP!!

Tried BB3.7 still no luck. 3% and crashes .... on 2 diff PC's.
I noticed that USPL runs ver 3.0.3.0 of the update utility but the actual ROMS when you launch them are running 3.6.3.6 ... does this make a difference?
Help guys plz!

Those are the issue no's of the rom upgrade utilities - it does not matter. It appears you are still not cid unlocked. whats your spl no? take it from first bootscreen.

SPL is 1.25.0000
IPL is 1.25.0001
Ideas??

The spl from uspl is 1.110000 so you need to run uspl again. Even if the screen goes blank wait till it says your rom has been upgraded.

Thing is when i run USPL and it gets to 100%, all i get is a white blank screen and nothing happens. So i have to reset the device.
Then i try and run the BB4 etc install and get to 3% before it conks out.
When I get the white screen ... what else can i do??

Some people had to run uspl 3 times in a row for it to work. Did you wait a while on white screen before giving up? I guess you are on 02 wm5 at the moment if not flash to that and try again. If you are do a hard reset and try again - few times in a row.

OK looks like USPL doesnt work for me!
Everytime I ran it under WM5 i still had 1.25.0000 and then i upgraded ROM to O2 WM6 and now everytime I run USPL it stays at 3.04.0000.
It doesnt do anything after the white screen ..... just sits there like a duck!
With so many ppl having succesfully done this surely someone can be a Wizard of Orbit??

Had same problem. Dont reset the phone but just if you see only the black screen, run the USPL update.

I have an orbit and uspl flashed first time from wm5 and wm6 - is yours usa orbit? If you really cant run uspl then it will need cid unlock from imei check - it costs but you have permenant cid unlock so you need not worry again.

Rom download problems

Hi, Sorry, I know a lot of you guys are guru's on here but just need a little help. I have an unlocked T mobile mda which I am running on at&t.It has the 2.26 rom at present.I tried to install WM6 from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=324632 last night. Everything was going fine until the download reached 99%. Then it just hung for a while then gave me an error message '302'..From then on all I could get on the phone was the boot screen. I tried several times in boot mode to install again but same thing every time. I thought I had bricked my phone !
This morning I downloaded the 'lite' version from the same page and installed and hey presto, we are back to normal.
I don't know if WM6 is downloaded or not. I do get a different screen as it boots up now though..Firstly i get a screen with 'htc technology' written on it and then I get a screen with like a car speedometer with xda mobile 6 showing. Then it just comes on as normal......I don't know, All I really wanted was the 'touchflo' installed which I thought came with WM6...
Any info would be much appreciated,
Thanks, Paul

Hi
Yes You download the new version. There are more different roms maybe you download wrong rom to your device. İf you download rom with no error message I think you download wm6 rom and you should make hard reset for your device than I think it will be ok soon

Thanks for the reply...
I just did a hard reset and it's just the same as before.....any ideas ??

" 'touchflo' installed which I thought came with WM6..."
it dont
but if the top and buttom bars are not glossy
and the device info in
settings dont say the correct version you dont have wm6

PLEASE HELP! Brick or Broken ?

HI all,
yesterday my Orbit crashed. Whenever i try to turn it on, it gets stuck, and only shows the first 2 lines when loading, and does not show the GSM version and OS version, I tried to do a hard reset, nothing helps, it just keep stucking on the 1st screen with the first 2 red lines.
Anyone any ideas ???
Thanks

Worth a Try
You might just have a go at putting it into bootloader mode and flashing with a new or the same ROM.
I wouldn't like to suggest it would definitely work, but it'd be worth a go.

How do i do that ?
When in doesnt recognize a connection ?

It may be able to make a connection in bootloader mode. Like I say, it may not work, but have you tried it? Have you got a better idea?

igal instructions how to go into bootloader mode are in the first thread of the forum. You dont need an activesync connection just connect via usb.

As Mark has said above Activesync connection is not required for "connection" Bootloader mode activates a USB connection which allow ROM flashing.
Use an official O2 Rom or similar, which AFAIK does not require USPL'd ?
Check this thread, which succesfully fixed my bricked Orbit, Remember your on your own though, but if it is knackered now it can't get worse....
My instructions use the official German Rom to get it back up and running, as the English version had not been released. Once you get back up and running you can use any of the other cooked ROMS that are about.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=312495
DISREGARD the bit about WINRAR, just get an official ROM, stick your handset in bootloader mode and run ROMupdateUtility.exe
Report back on how you get on.....

I went in to..
Bootloader mode. and got the RGB screen with usb connection, but when i try to flash ( both the rom im using now B&B 4.1 and also an official ROM by O2 ), it quits after 3% altough i have a CID unlcoked by imei-check, and i flashed like 10 times before...
any ideas ??
Thanks!

You must use the factory rom specific to your device including language - did you?

Yes i did.
Not working....

Hi Igal,
which rom eaxctly did you try to flash with to rescue your Artemis from the bootloader?
Rgs
Cyber

I used O2's rom
I downloaded the official rom of O2 ( Windows Mobile 6 ). Once it told me "Invalid Vendor" and the other time " Image corrupted " ( I have O2 XDA ORBIT ).

Are you in the uk using a rom from 02 UK?
I had a similar problem like you are having and managed to rescue using the HTC WM5 standard rom.

Im not in the UK, But
The phone is a UK one, and i tried to rescue it with wm6 official rom, Do you think i should try with wm5 ? Where do i get it ?
