HELP - Did i just brick my HTC ?

Hello, i used imei-check's program to unlock my phone, i did a hard-reset and then i used the PDAMobiz_Dopod_P800W_AKU301_v1.1.2_PowerMap.exe. I did executed it on my pc, and there was a dos window saying something about waiting some minutes and everything was fine. After ~10 minutes, i was seeing that nothing was going on on either my phone or my pc, so i did reset the phone and closed the dos window. But since then my phone stays on the HTC screen, displaying the following
IPL 1.12.0001
SPL 1.12.0000
GSM 02.67.90
OS 1.28.0.0
I tried to download a small rom from my manufacturers site and i did went onto bootloader screen, by holding the upper left and upper right buttons and then the reset button, and i did flash the new small rom, but it keeps staying there. Is there a way to flash the original rom back in ?
PLEASE HELP ME !
PS : How do you hard-reset using the hardware buttons ?

To do a hard reset.
Press both soft keys and insert stylus into soft reset button and press.
Release the soft reset button and keep pressing the soft keys.
When the "This operation will delete all your personal data, to manufacturer default" appears on screen.
Press Green call button to restore manufacturer default, or press other keys to cancel.
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.
from http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Artemis_Resets

even the hard reset, isnt bringing the phone back to life. what should i do ?

i think you should enter into bootloader menu connect you ppc with usb to your pc and flash it with the original shipped rom that you had before or if it's unlocked with any original shipped rom... It is the only way...

how can i flash my original rom ? is it included on some of the cd's it was shipped or ?

no ... there was on an ftp but now it is down... Maybe someone who has it can upload it in rapidshare .... What brand has your artemis? HTC, Dopod??? Leave some info in order to get the right rom... if noone help you until tommorow i will upload an original HTC Rom(right now i can't) if it works on your ppc...

It is an original HTC phone aye, so there isnt a way to find a rom like this out in the open ?

I DID THE SAME!
Please someone share the original rom for MDA Compact III T-Mobile UK!
It can be anything to fix the device.
Pleeease!
P.S.
Is there any software to dump a rom from other device?
I have access to my firend's MDA and possibly could use his to get a copy.

You guys seem to have the same problem as me
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=294551
I have already download all the original ship ROMs from XDA-FTP but no luck to try any of them on my device. It always said "Invalid Model ID". Some people said, the CID area was damage and the only way I can do is open my device and use jtag interface to directly flash my ROM without access to bootloader. I am now trying to do that and the last chance is to send my phone to Imeicheck (Glasgow, Scotland) to get it fixed.
Anyway, if you want any of these ROMs please email me ([email protected]) and give me your FTP so I could upload them. Sorry cannot send over email because they were big (~40Mb).

Just upload them on rapidshare and send me a private message with the links. If i dont get it to work, i am gonna send it back and get a replacement.

Same problem
I also got the same problem as you are, not even a hard reset helped me to start the p3300 ... My device is not CID free so i can flash only the htc italian rom into it (i had italian language in my device) and i can't find anywhere a rom with italian language so i'm stuck and i don't know what to do ... ( i tryed flashing all the roms found on FTP but my p3300 won't accept any of them )
If anybody got an ideea how to fix this problem or got a htc rom with italian please upload it somewere
Thanks

Another Question (a lot off topic) : How about writing a guide about everything that concerns artemis, for newbies... i am a noob to, and i am looking for others to write down a guide about useful tasks such as unlocking unhiding,customizing extrom, making themes,must have progrs with simple steps so that we can understand... Write them down in one place and when they are final upload them on the wiki site... Is anyone in??? Please send me Pm if you are interesting in order to open a new subject in the forum...

Yeah! I'm in. I will describe my way to get the device back to live - if I ever get it.
So far I got information that seems to be quite important to those that are stucked on Invalid ID error.
Apparently the ROM named ART_DOPODASIA_10270701_024190_WWE_TEST works for all model IDs.
So share please.

You're a star!!!
It is alive !
The original ROM worked at last! And here is the story:
1. Bought IMEI-CHECK and unlocked the MDA Compact III
2. Flashed with PDAMobiz_Dopod_P800W_AKU301_v1.1.2_PowerMap.exe (with device on Today screen)
3. The process started and stuck on "uploading file [don't remember] and as the instruction said I reseted the phone after 30 minutes.
4. T-Mobile splash screen, version infos and that's it.
5. Tried to flash again in bootloader mode but the device was not visible by PC
6. Thankfully to djsolid tried to flash with HTC Original and ended up with Invalid ID
7. Flashed with the original ROM from T-Mobile UK and it is working now.
I am not sure when I will try to flash it again

Well, my phone is alive again, thanks to http://www.pdamobiz.com/show_news.asp?NewsID=74701&PN=1
I have flashed my phone with the dopod rom, and it worked ok, and then i flashed the Powermap one, and it works fine.

ROMS
Hello,
I have just bought myself an Xda Orbit, and previously have had Exec, Blueangel etc but was gutted to hear about Micro$oft and their action. i am very keen to customize my phone and ext rom etc just like i used to do and wrote about last year so i am willing to create a new website and will host myself and have all the roms available as a download for all to share BUT i need the roms. i have just downloaded from rapidshare the t-mobile rom and will download the ext rom from this ftp site but i need more roms and any programs that are useful i will host on the site and just link it to this site for downloading. i am not sure how to host ftp but i can learn....
let me know if this will be useful and i will get the ball rolling in getting an address and hosting account. thanks

Artemis doesnt`t start

please help! I have made a wrong ROM Update for my Artemis. The result is that it doeasn`t starts anymore. I see only the start screen no more. If i make a SW or HW reset tahn i see a 3 colored screen and USB. But i don`t get a connection via usb to my compute`! How can i wake up my Artemis ???

tell use more what did you do and how did you do it?
what artemis is it?
what rom was it

Flash went sour..
You need the original ROM which was on your device when you bought it. What version (HTC, MDA, etc..) and what language was the original ROM?

please i need help too
I guess I made the same or a similar mistake that dr.moppi did. My machine is a Dopod P800 from mainland china with the chinese operating system. I flahsed it with PDAMobiz_Dopod_P800W_AKU301_v1.1.2_PowerMap. Don't really remember what the original ROM was but now when i turn it on it freezes when it lights up. On the screen, it says
IPL 1.27.0001
SPL 1.27.0000
GSM 02.67.90
OS 1.28.0.0
DOPOD
I don't get a connection through usb to the computer either. I am not sure if I did the hard reset correctly. Didn't understand the instruction on that "press the soft key left and right and soft reset at the same time." Anyway, you guys are all experts, can you help me please?

it should be the same as my problem
if i remeber than i used the same ROM Update :-(
I hope anyone could give us a solution, please.

@dr. moppi we can only help you if we know what version you had before.
@empathyvirus you have to look for the original ROM which, in your case, should be the Chinese Dopod ROM. Install that one and your good to go.
Without the original ROM the only thing left to do is: sending your device to your provider or contact and sent it to the guys of imei-check. Either way, you'll probably have to pay to get it fixed.

how to install original rom
Thanks for your quick reply Pyth. In the case I get the original ROM from somewhere, how do I install it if I can't get a connection between the phone and my computer? Can you advice?

Put your device in bootloader by pressing the record button and reset at the same time. If you have your USB-cable connected between your PC and your phone it will indicate a connection by 'USB' in the left corner of your device. Now you should be able to run the ROM executable and update your device.

thanks anyway
i tried but it didn't seem to work. anyway, i have troubled you enough and maybe it's best i just go to the repair centre of dopod and pay for a fix. i really appreciate your help though Pyth.

Where can i find the t-mobile rom its the MDA Compact III that wont start for me

Urgent Help Needed Please! "No-Gsm" BRICKED?

i posted this in another thread but no one replied so thought this one mite be more busy.
i am new to all this and i stupidly went running into things and tryed to ROM upgrade my t-mobile MDA Vario II (HERM300), not knowing i had to CID unlock first, it has broke! when i boot it up i can not get passed the t-mobile splash screen and it also flashes "no-gsm". i have read many suggestions on fixing this but i have had no luck. i can get into the boot screen however and get the red green and blue stripes.
i have IPL 1.01 and SPL 1.04.
it will allow me to connect to my PC with USB but active-sync does not recognize i have connected the phone.
please help someone. i just need a way i can get this thing working again. if i could just get the phone into a state of use again that would be good.

please help, at least let me know if Ive got a chance of repairing it

i believe if you can get it in to bootloader mode you can flash back to original rom and start over

i thought that to but when i tryed the t-mobile rom it said "connection error" and also said it should be connected through active sync. but then agen it mite of been the wrong t-mobile rom but im sure it was for the vario ii. do you have a link to the one i should try please?

i downloaded the official UK shiping rom from t-mobile site and upgrading now through bootloader. will report on what happens.....

nope, keep getting "device not responding" or "connection error". any other sugestions?

i looked on here http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_Unbrick and it says that i have to "Flash any type2 radio in NBF format. If that doesn’t work, flash the radio using HERMflasher" please could someone tell me how to do this, if this is the solution to my problem or if there is another way around this. thanks.

please help someone i realy need to fix my phone

Cool down....
what's ur radio version?
Also have u read this? http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_SimUnlock - TRY THIS FIRST, before attempting anything else...

ok, i have tryed that "sim and cid unlocker" and i beleve that you have to connect with active-sync because when i tryed it when i was in boot loader it said that it was not connected but it was. i will get my radio version now.
EDIT: my radio version is: 0107
EDIT2: also, here are some other numbers (which i dont know what they mean but mite be needed) which apear on boot-up t-mobile splash screen, in red letters/numers, just before "no-gsm" flashes on:
M 05
S 04
B 06
D 1.21

If you can get into the Bootloader (Rainbow Screen) you should be okay (Not a Brick)
Go download a Radio Rom from the wiki.
Enter Bootloader first, then connect to PC. Then flash the Radio Rom.

Cincular 8525 stuck in Bootloader

I have a Cingular 8525 running WM5 that is stuck in bootloader screen. I have tried to soft and hard reset ... just boots back to the same screen, I can't turn it off once in the screen and when i sync via usb to the pc i get the message that the "usb device that is connected is malfunctioning" I have not done any upgrading at all and the phone worked perfectly right up till the time i powered it down and restarted into the bootloader screen.
Please can someone out there help me with this issue?

Manage to solve the problem ...thanks WIKI !!
Go to Bootloader mode: Hold side OK and POWER buttons together and reset with stylus
Then Flash to any ROM you want !!

Thanks .... But
Thanks for the reply ... but i have no idea how to do what you tell me, I am new to all this phone "stuff" as a matter of fact this is the first time that i am ever using one of these forums. I have read till i am cross eyed but dont actually understand what you are talking about ... now don't let that scare you away as i am willing to learn and i am not braindead ... you all had to start sometime in this, not so. I get that i need to try and reflash my rom...
so is there some type of rom update software that i need? ... what is a hard SPL?? ... and who is Schaps?? .. sorry guys to do this to you but i would like to get into this game and i need some ( well maybe a lot ) of pointers.
Thanks for your time.

1. Search for "mr vanxs guide" so you have an idea on what you're doing.
2. OK, as Asfarizal said "Go to Bootloader mode: Hold side OK and POWER buttons together and reset with stylus". If you cant work out what the buttons are, go to the manual. it will tell you.
3. type in "hard SPL" in search on the forum & download the .zip or .rar file. this should have 2 files inside when opened,
a). RUUWrapper.exe and
b). RUU_signed.nbh
sync Hermes and double click .exe file. follow prompts.
4. find a rom that you want (would suggest TNT SE as a fairly good rom for noobs... good and stable, no problems...) Again download, then (and this is personel preference) format an sd card fat 32 and copy RUU_signed.nbh into root directory. Rename it Hermimg.nbh. Put into Phone and put into bootloader(make sure the battery is more than 50%) follow prompts. This should get you out of trouble. You can also sync your Phone and double click on the RUUWrapper.exe HOWEVER, if you should reset your computer, pull out the usb cable or have anything else happen to the computer that interrupts the flashm, you could end up with a worse brick than you have now. try to read up on flashing (search for "mr vanxs guide") and this should help you a lot if you have other questions. Good luck and happy flashing......

Thank You
I will follow the instructions you gave and try to get it going this weekend.
Thank you so much for your time

Looks like you've got a lot of reading to do, and a problem to sort out. Firstly a couple of answers...
Schaps is a Rom Cooking guru (makes custom versions of WM5, WM6 etc). When you get your phone sorted out I'd recommend trying one of his roms.
Hard SPL. The SPL is part of the bootloader which effectively dictates how a rom is flashed and what roms can be flashed. HardSPL is a custom version of this which allows you to flash any rom from any carrier. It also protects against a bad flash in many cases. It is recommended before you try flashing any new roms or radio roms. Use Hard-SPL-V7 at the bottom of the first post here.
The Rom upgrading software is contained in any of the cooked or carrier supplied roms. It is normally a .zip file which cotains 2 files: xxxxxRUU.exe and RUU_signed.nbh. You run the .exe file from your PC when connected to your phone via USB. More details of how to do this are in MrVanx's guides. Also other resources here.
Now to try to sort your phone out...
What is displayed on your screen when in bootloader mode? It should be something like this:
HERM200
IPL-1.04
HERM200
SPL-2.10.Olipro (This is HardSPL V7)
If you don't have an Olipro SPL then you need to get HardSPL onto your phone. If you haven't done any upgrading and have had the phone from new then I guess you don't have hardSPL.
Now you need to fix your USB Malfunctioning problem. I can't help too much here except to suggest trying a different cable, different USB port or different PC. Also, if you are running Vista try an XP maxhine. When you connect to the PC does your phone show Serial or USB on the screen? If you can't get a USB connection, all is not lost - you can re-flash your rom using an SD card, method here.
There is a thread about un-bricking phones which may help.
There are various diagnostic tools (which can also screw your phone if used incorrectly). The favourite of these is MTTY but you need a USB connection to use this.
If your phone is in warranty I'd recommend getting your supplier to sort it out, but if not I'd try to re-flash an ORIGINAL supplier rom (Cingular I guess). You can get links to the official supplier roms here.
I think (might be wrong) that sometimes when stuck in bootloader you need to flash an official rom, not a cooked one to recover your phone - then you can run HardSPL and then flash cooked roms again.

Cingular 8525 stuck in bootloader
Thanks for the reply ... lots of great input.
Now to answer some of your questions.
1) When I power up the phone (only pushing the power button ) it goes straight into the bootloader screen without pushing any other buttons, and it displays
HERM100
IPL-1.01
HERM100
SPL-1.06
Then at the bottom in the white bar it says "Serial"
The only way that i have found to power it down again is to remove the battery, there is no response from any single buttons after it is in bootloader
the soft reset and hard reset work but it just goes right back to the bootloader screen after.
2) The USB malfunction. This only started after the phone "crashed" and before that it worked great ... well i only used it to sync up to my work pc for the contacts and to get pictures onto my hard drive.
all the PC's that i use are running XP. I have tried my home PC and my Laptop
and the work PC and all of them have their own cables and they all say the same thing ... "the USB device is malfunctioning"
I am sure that when i get the phone going again the USB will start to function again.
3) Phone warranty ... I bought the phone off e-bay from a store in new york about 10 months ago as a "new unlocked cingular 8525" it was new and unlocked, but i have no idea how they unlocked it. I would assume that there would be no warranty now and in any case i live in Canada and would have to ship it down to the states to an AT&T repair center and that sounds like a nightmare to me with the customs and so on.
I will give you a little more background on the problem. the phone worked like a charm without any problems at all for the 10 months that i had it, then the morning of the crash the phones alarm did not go off in the morning and i was almost late for work ... i did not pay it any further attention untill at 3:26pm
that afternoon the alarm went off ??????? (it was set for 6:05am) so i checked the main clock time, it was right. I then checked the alarm time, it was right ??? So i figured that something must have just got confused, so i powered down the phone with the power button to just restart it and while it was powered down i removed the battery to take the oportunity to to clean all those fuzzies and dust that collect in the battery compartment out and put it all together and powered it up again (just by pushing the power button) and this wierd red, green, blue and white screen appeared and that is all that i have seen since ???
I hope that answers your questions and i will start going through the links that you sent and get to reading ... will there be a pop quiz ... lol
Thanks again for your time and i very much appreciate all the time that all of you have spent on me and my phone ..... I know that you all just feel bad for me because i now have to use a Motorolla V551 ... lol

Great Work

HERM100

HERM100

history : i buy unlocked orange phone

PLEASE help me
tell me which it the right rom to chose? step by step procedure..
how to rectify imei?
thanks and regards
kirtibas

kirtibas, sorry it took so long to reply, 1st thing I'd do is upgrade to SPL 2.10 olipro. This is safer to use than others. then I'd suggest reflashing a stock rom to see if that works. After stock rom works then use a cooked rom as your heart desires... Cheers...

Well i've sorta given up now :(

does anyone know of a company or repair service that will unbrick my hermes?
thanks

Whats wrong, maybe we can help...
Give us a brief rundown on whats wrong, and what you did to fix...

Well first of all,
the phone was bricked through unable to flash a rom
i didn't get a chance to check the SPL and IPL before the phone was bricked
the phone is only showing bootloader and the ok+power+soft reset doesn't work
ive tried the micro sd method and didn't work
i had just barely got the phone and was a noob at it so like every other person who doesn't take the time to read, didn't put the Hard SPL on the device.
i don't know what else to do now.
thanks for replying

Download the original SHIPPED rom.
Untick "allow usb connection" in activesync on your PC.
Reset into bootloader - hold power, OK button above flywheel and rset with stylus. This should bring you to thr tri-colour screen wher your IPL and SPL are shown. This is true bootloader, not a screwed up version. DO THIS...
Connect Hermes to pc.
Run RUU-Wrapper.exe of original rom.
This may or may not woirk, Good luck...

See the problem that i have with that is the fact that i don't know what my original rom was, all i know was that it was an htc windows mobile 5 rom, but i don't know what version..
could it help if i told you that it is a qtek 9600 (herm100)?

Owh, forgot to mention.
I already applied hardSPL. I guess thats why the process of recovering it quite simple. N I directly flash the ROM to WM6.1 v13.3 Cooked Rom. It works like a charm.
Bo0mcxh402 : sorry mate. I didn't know the original version of ur ROM. Maybe u can try to ask around. I'm sure there've lot of users out there also using the same phone as yours,

Try the HTC stock WM06 rom which you should be able to find somewhere on here... May work...
Cheers...

See the problem that i have with that is the fact that i don't know what my original rom was, all i know was that it was an htc windows mobile 5 rom, but i don't know what version..

It's irrelevant what your original ROM was/is. Follow these directions and use the T-Mobile ROM.
The T-Mobile ROM won't install. It will go thru a couple of steps (one of which is "Erasing" which is critical to get through) and then it will "Error" out. After the T-Mobile ROM "erases", your Hermes should be back to a state where you can flash any ROM you prefer.

Well i Tried the method, but i can't even get the phone to sync even after i unticked the "Allowed USB connections," the phone is recognized as "HTC usb connection" but when i run the t-mobile rom, it says error 264, (USB Connection)

The reason I said to use the shipped rom is because Bo0mcxh402's device ISN'T supercid... If it was it could take ANY rom you want to throw at it BUT because its not you HAVE to have the STOCK CARRIER ROM it was shipped with (later update may work too as the cid should be recognised)...

Did the T-Mobile ROM do *anything* or just immediately error out?

I couldn't do anything because the t-mobile rom didn't recognize my hermes even though my computer did

That pesky CID again as stated so many times before. You need to find your stock carrier rom. The upgrade to WM06 will work as well as it has the same CID as the shipped rom.

well i ended up trying that and nothing happened... the usb connection didn't work for the hermes, i know that there is nothing wrong with the usb connection because i used it on my t-mobile dash.
IVE GIVEN UP.. IS THERE A COMPANY FOR A REASONABLE PRICE THAT WILL UNBRICK THE PHONE?

On the PC - Untick "Allow usb connections" in activesync settings.
On Hermes - Hold OK button, power button and reset with stylus. This will bring you back to bootloader BUT it won't be the screwy bad flash bootloader.
Connect the Hermes to the PC via usb. Run the RUU_Wrapper.exe of the stock rom.
This should work, if it doesn't then there may be no help available. You don't want activesync trying to connect to the Hermes so its better to disable the usb connection settings, You might be able to get a successful flash this way without activesync screwing it up.
Can't say about any unbrick service. Don't think they could help, only thing they might do is replace the mainboard (if they can find) and that would be expensive.
