Hi everyone,
A while ago I was stupid and tried to flash my O2 XDA Orbit without fully reading the instructions and therefore ended up "bricking" the device. It turns on but seems to hang on the "O2 Welcome Screen" which shows the following information:
IPL 1.25.0001
SPL 1.25.0000
GSM 02.67.90
OS 1.28.0.0
The device can boot up into the bootloader screen no problems and I have tried to install various ROM's from the German O2 WM6 ROM to the UK T-Mobile WM5 ROM but with no success, it just gets to 3% then reboots.
Does anyone know a way that I can restore the original O2 UK WM5 ROM from the bootloader? Or at least get it working again?
At this point there is no O2 Rom avaliable, you will have to wait till they finally release the WM6 Rom sometime this Summer.

Thank you however I have tried the above instructions but my device just gets to 3% then reboots.
Does anyone know what the MTTY.EXE software is all about and is there any way that I can manually force the device to Flash using this?
Or!!!!!
Is there a way for me to clone a mates xda orbit and drop the image onto mine? Both were purchased at the same time just I thought i'd be clever and update mine which didn't quite work out.
Have you already tried to flash a rom by using your microSD card ?
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Artemis_SD_Card_Flashing
try to flash it from sd card if your orbit is cid unlocked
not sure
I dont think my device is cid unlocked as it would have worked with the updated rom install, wouldn't it? sorry pretty new to all this.
I have tried to flash straight from the sd card but it just searches through the sd card then goes straight to the multicoloured bootloader screen.
Anyother ways or is there a better rom that i could use?
I search forum but cant find answer. My Artemis is HTC P3300 with original WM6. SPL is 1.11.
I tryed to flash two ROM-s: Artemis Vanila 2.01 and O2 Premium 2.0 and get same error 260 connection where activesync disconnect.
Please can someone tell me what to do? What I am doing wrong?

there are lots of posts about this, the best way to fix it seems to be to flash back to the original ROM and then try again.
I really search forum but answers did not help me. I tryed also SD flash but cant start a bootloader-push down voice dial+on/off+reset button and nothing happend.
Ok, I dont have original WM5 ROM on my desktop PC only official WM6. Is it enough to hard reset or just flash back official WM6? Sorry if I ask stupid questions.
Maybe I wasnt clear enough in a first post.. I originaly had WM5 and than I flash official WM6. So, I dont have WM5 ROM anymore. I can only flash back to WM6. I try to flash WM6 and same error apear.. I will try to find on net originaly WM5 and flash it than we will see..
I found original WM5 ENG Rom on the web and try to flash but get same error again! I really dont know what to do anymore.. Tryed SD flash but bootloader didnt start, trying flash back with original WM5 also failed..
Who can help me?? People it is christmas time come on...
Same issue here.
Trying to flash from Artemis Touch 3.01 lite to Full version.
Having problems with Error 260.
It's normally because you are trying to flash with a SDHC card in.
Thanks
Ok, at the time you get the error, I presume your device has gone into Bootloader mode? If yes, then without doing anything to your device, stay in the boot loader screen and try running Rom Update process again. This time it may go through it.
Regards,
Carty..
have you removed your storage card while updating ?
With the new sdhc drivers there could be problems when the storage card is insert into device.... hth
ups....just saw Juice05's answer....i was too late with my answer
Help, I have HSPL, SSPL, and Energy's July 10 rom, and i can't update my rom to the 24 july version because i hang on the multicolored screen... Help guys
HSPL 3.
I have a gsm diamond (from t-mobile uk) and have flashed it to 1.34 hspl to use the new 25.16 radio and dutty's v3.1 both are working fine however I can't *upgrade* (i know it's not an upgrade per se) to hspl 1.93. it's stuck on 1.34.
using customruu it goes through the normal motions and on screen shows it to 100% then restarts etc, but after i check by going into the bootloader it hasn't updated. I have looked about and search for some time now and don't see anyone expericencing quite the same thing.
any ideas??

I have the exact same issue... I tired updating it from 1.24 to 1.93 and it restarted like it updated it. But when I go into boot loader its still got the old hardspl.
Does anyone know why??
I have tried searching around for a solution but no luck
I'm no noob and i've flashed 100's of times across many fones and unbricked a few with some careful reading but this seems very odd and stupidly simple. No idea what i'm missing.... only thing i can think to try is to flash from internal storage, but i would think this unwise with the hardspl as I thought hardspl would control access to the internal storage like some sort of bios perhaps?!
Same here
Hey guys,
Does anyone knows what is the resolution for this? I having the same problem as well.
Hi guys!
HSPL blocks write attempts to the SPL-part of the nand! You need to run SSPL from windows mobile and then flash the HSPL-Version you want. This is pretty much the only way to override that write-protection!

Hi everybody,
got yesterday another diamond, after mine died some time ago. It has 193 spl and I cannot upgrade to olinex spl. It runs through everything, but upon reboot it still has the original 193 spl. Any ideas? I really need to flash, mine speaks Dutch and I want it in English. Please help. Kind regards. Ben
Does anyone know if the XDA Orbit (Not Orbit 2) can handle windows 6.1 and if so do you know where I can get a O2 version please.
wow
where to start
all of the roms on the artemis part of this site should work with the orbit, but you'll need to USPL first.
None of them are o2 branded because there isnt an official o2 rom, but you can add the various settings you'll need manually afterwards. An o2 rom would (if it was released) effectively be the same as one of these roms but with a different wallpaper etc.
Just upgraded my o2 orbit using black & blue 5 off this site and after USPL-ing it it went fine.
use the search on this site for any problems you've got, and once you find a rom you like the look of read through the ENTIRE thread to see what (if any) problems other people have had with it and what (if any) solutions were found
only install a rom suitable for the ARTEMIS though (you're on the right page)
Upgrading O2 Orbit

WARNING! USPL should be used prior to using ANY cooked ROM, otherwise, you will brick your device, most probably..
here is the USPL which i have used, for the past 1 1/2 years, and this works fine with HTC P3300 & O2 Orbit (NOT ORBIT 2).. i have tested on more than 10 devices of each type and i confirm this..
This is the same USPL i downloaded from this forum, but i couldnt find the links from this forum, maybe im blind .. but i already have the files, so i have uploaded it to rapidshare.. here is the link...
http://rapidshare.com/files/201470586/ArtemisUSPL.rar
just EXTRACT, and then connect your Orbit OR P3300 to your windows computer, and make sure ActiveSync is connected and GREEN..
RUN start_uspl.exe, and things should go fine with the default procedure.. no complex settings, just NEXT NEXT type installation..
after USPL has been properly installed, you can try downloading any cooked ROM for Artemis from this forum, and flash it to your Artemis (P3300 or O2 Orbit).. i have faith that nothing will go wrong.. as even i try almost every ROM whether its Vietnamese or Italian.. just for testing purposes..

Thx mate.. for this.. can you tell me after i download the ROM then wat must i do? i didnt start the process yet
have you tried searching the forum yet?
once you've USPL'd connect your phone again (if not already connected) and run the ROMUpdateUtility.exe
follow the instructions
upgrading your rom will lose your data (contacts/ msgs and emails aswell as installed 3rd party software) from your phone so make sure you've got everything you need and you've recently sync'd with your computer first

Thx mate.. just 1 thing..
i got the phone from my brother..
he said that it is unlocked and when i got it on my hand it was working..
does this mean that the phone has undergone any USPL?..
it has WM 6 on it
no...someone will correct me if i'm wrong here but as far as i know :
'unlocked' usually just means it's not sim locked, ie you can put any sim from any network into it
this isnt the same as SPL locking.
when you reset your phone (poke the stylus into the hole on the side next to the dial button) and get the red numbers in the corner of the screen you will see
IPL x.xx.xxxx
SPL x.xx.xxxx
GSM x.xx.xxxx
and some more
if the SPL says anything EXCEPT
SPL 1.11.0000
it is NOT SPL unlocked
this means that you can't flash any rom thats not from the original carrier to the device
You only need to do this once, but once you've sucessfully USPL'd it will say SPL 1.11.0000
FYI, Topics about USPL unlocking ( using the search ):
http://www.google.com/cse?cx=000825...temis&sa=Search&cof=FORID:0&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8
Woow thx mate.. Now i can get it.. in my phone the SLP is some thing like 3.14.0000
cool.. well im thinking of doing the ROM installation soon.. thx
ok, you will need to USPL first then

Hi all,
How to upgrade rom via bootlaoader menu (after pressing the camera and hardreset)? If it's possible could you tell me which ROM i can use to upgrade a HTC advantage x7500/ATHENA-C9 with these info on bootloader menu:
ATHE100
IPL-v1. 00
ATHE100
SPL-v1. 07. 0000
Thanks for help!
Hi marius
I read your other post today and seeing no one else has replied , I will try to help you.
Have you tried a hard reset ?
If you have and had no luck , try to find an original shipped rom consistent with your spl and flash while in bootloader .
Don't try to flash any of the doctored roms, either spl 1.2 or 3.5 as you will not be able.
It is a long time since I have used the unlocker but I think if you read through the later posts , the authors used a wrapper program that requires an initial activesync connection to work.
I will look in here occasionally to see if you get it sorted or you can pm me if you have a question.
regards michael
Hello Lakeman,
if i write you it's because i read your reply below and i'm very happy.
1rst, i tried hard reset but it didn't work.
In fact, here is my story:
My HTC x7500 crashes after startup so i can't use it but when i tried to flash it i received the error 294:Invalid Vendor Id because i used the wrong ROM. where can i get it please?
Many thanks!
I asume you already read the Wiki, if not here it is!:

I´m sure it can help you a lot
Good luck,
hi all,
thank you orb3000, i read the wiki and i found in the ATHENA x7500 manual that it's possible to Upgrade OS through SD Card in bootloader menu but it seems like the download OS image link http://htcscm10.htc.com.tw/SDO is no longer available. Please could someone help me found it?
Thanks a lot!
Hi all,
i tried to upgrade my HTC x7500 via SD card using a .nbh file found in ap3.rar
but it didn't work. After enter in the bootloader, it displays "loading..." and "00068002" and after few seconds it's going back to the colored screen displaying the Rom version 1.07.0000
What does the "0068002" mean? i suppose it's an error code.
Please could somebody help me get a image file version earlier than 1.07.0000?
thnks!

Hi marius
I assume you read
[/QUOTE]
Rename the .NBH file to ATHEIMG.nbh and copy it to your miniSD card. Press camera+com manager+soft reset to bootloader and wait for reading ATHEIMG.nbh from SD. Remember, the miniSD card must be formatted with a FAT32 filesystem before copying the file ATHEIMG.nbh to your miniSD. After finished, do a soft reset.
[/QUOTE]
sometimes sd flashing wont work with an sdhc card
but in any case you have not unlocked the rom yet.
You need spl 1.2 to flash the ap3 rom
I cant remember if you are the guy trying to find a dutch rom but try and find an original rom for your athena and then flash that.
once it is working you can apply the unlocker and then flash any rom
Hi lakeman,
Unfortunately i can't use the spl 1.2 to unlock my HTC X7500 because it crashes just after startup (when displaying desktop) preventing me from using. Is there a possibility to use the spl 1.2 via the miniSD card? I'm not using the sdhc card.
Thanks for help!
hi again
youmust unlock the athena before flashing an spl1.2 rom
you can flash your original rom from the bootloader menu to get a working rom ,
once you have done this you can use the unlocker and then flash any 1.2rom
Hi,
i tried to flash my ROM with this: Advantage_HTC_WWE_2.21.405.2_1.50.00.00_Ship found in the Wiki but it failed, i received ERROR 294: INVALID VENDOR ID. i get this error many times while trying to flach my ROM.

Marius you need to get the original language rom that came with your athena
I don't know for sure but i think spl 1.07 is the dutch rom which is nowhere to be found at present
i suggest doing a search for this or contacting htc or the original supplier of your phone.
Alternatively post a request in xda but I would do it in the general section to get a wider audience
Hello,
Thanks Lakeman. I tried to get it from HTC Support in vain, as you recomended, i'll post a new thread on xda concerning the spl1.07 (my ROM language is English not dutch).
