Upgrade Instructions! - P3300, MDA Compact III upgrading etc.

Hi,
Just wondered if anyone could please give even some brief instructions on how to go about flashing an XDA Orbit with Artemis_Touch_4.01_Full.
I have searched but there just doesn't seem to be any step by step guide. I'm running WM6 and have a Vista based pc with the above ROM downloaded, but can't figure out how to go about flashing and don't want to brick my phone.
Any help woud be greatly appreciated!
Cheers

Ok its pretty easy enough. First u gotta make your Orbit "unlocked". This is done by flashing USPL to it (which I guess stands for "Upgraded Service Provider Lock" or something like that). This will also make it CID unlocked (which I guess stands for "Country ID" or whatever). Anyway doesnt really matter what they stand for.
Once this is done, you can now flash your ROM to your Orbit because there shouldnt be any locks in the way stopping you.
....Meschle has made these steps pretty simple in all of his ROMs.
1 - connect your Orbit to your PC and make sure it connects to ActiveSync OK
2 - if the ROM is in a .rar then extract it and run "STEP 1 - activesync then uspl cid unlocking.bat"
3 - once thats done and you have followed the instructions that appear and your Orbit has been reset (or rebooted, whatever), reconnect to PC and ActiveSync again, then run "STEP 2 - activesync then flash artemis touch rom.bat"
....and there you go, once everything is finished and your Orbit is rebooted, you now have a brand new ROM on your Orbit. This will wipe your data (much like formatting your hard drive with a new operating system) so make sure to backup. And maybe try running "STEP 2 - activesync then flash artemis touch rom.bat" two or three times, sometimes it helps.

thanks fubofo for easy instruction, i have orbit with wm5 and to unlock i use this

I think SPL means Service Provider Lock (like O2 or Orange) or something like that. USPL is basically a patched SPL that you write to your Orbit. Just follow the instructions on that post and when your Orbit restarts, just check (at the very start, in top left corner in red font) that the SPL displays 1.11. If it does then your unlocked and ready for flashing new ROMs

thanks fubofo for your instructions,
i done that and its working perfect, just one more question, what if i want to change with some other rom can i do this?

Hey, glad everything worked out OK. Yeah, now that your USPL is 1.11 you flash whatever ROMs you like whenever you like. Trust me it gets a bit hectic at times, so many new ROMs every week or so lol.

Please help upgrade Prophet/ overcome CID (VendorID) error

First of all THANK YOU all of the Great Minds of XDA Developers for all the support and great work you do for us!
a lot of your work, support and software and advice has been priceless help!
Any way no ass kissing here, just wanted to say thank you. ...and ask for help. As you probably know, there has been a lot of problems and issues with Prophet. (and very little or NO support and from manufacture and from providers. and there is not much available from xda developers forum users on this device. Though there has been great amount of support on any other devices. which has made me a happy user of Magician. But to cut it short, PLEASE HELPPPPPPP with Prophet!!! I can't reflash my XDA Neo with new WWE rom due to CID (vendor ID) error! It comes with german rom and I don't read german but love the phone! (and stuck with 2 year contract!) I tried aWisard utility numerus times in hopes that it would work despite the design for different device. I tried all kinds of roms available out there with no luck. and ofcourse HTC or O2 wouldn't help in any way! (different O2 support
techs said to me that I couldn't flash my Magician with WWE rom becouse it would kill the device! And I had it flashed in all the possible languages!) Any way, my magician is now a history (sold) and my new prophet is great pain in a ass!
Do you guys think you could help all of the xda community (and unlucky suckers) out here and help us overcome CID error so we can update/change our roms? (and screw the HTC, Qtek, Imate and O2 for such a poor support!)
I would greatly appreciate it! and it goes from all of us!
hi aleksandr
Just go the link below and follow the instruction to unlock the CID.
I just upgraded my 818 Pro to JAMin ROM, run very smoothly.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=37386
Hi, thank you very much for the reply! I did try this option but I have a little problem with Wisard program. I ran all the commands, enabled rapi,backed up my rom, ran unlock CID command, it returned "success" line, but when I try option -w- to write new rom into my prophet and get to "select OS rom file" where it saids to enter numbers only I don't know what to enter in the command line since the program doesn't have any roms listed in the command line screen. I've tried entering the rom release number, I even tried renaming rom to a number and I have placed the rom nk.nbf file in all the possible folders including "rom" in the program directory. but stil, once I hit enter, the command line window shuts down. could you advise?
and I did put the aWizard folder and rom file in the root directory on c:... tried d: too... stil, no result
Hi Alek,
Try this....
You now have a device that is CID unlocked, exit aWizard and locate the downloaded RUU update you now wish to load to your device. You should not need to use aWizard to do the flashing, just use the aWizard program to unlock the CID from the device.
I too have a Dopod 818Pro and I successfully flashed it to the new I-Mate JAMin ROM. All I used aWizard for was to unlock the CID on the Dopod 818Pro then exited aWizard and just used the downloaded RUU update.
Regards,
voyager
Thanks voyager, I guess you're very fast typist :lol:
Hi aleksandr,
Did you did an ActiveSync with your Prophet first then run the aWizard? For me I just run aWizard to enable RAPI and unlock the CID on my 818 Pro. Then I just double click on the latest JAMin ROM exe file, it detect my 818 Pro without any problem.

First of all thank you guys for getting involved and helping! I really appreciate it!
well, I tried just to CID unlock it with aWisard, got "successful" message and then I ran about 10 different upgrades from different providers, qtek, Imate, etc, and still got the wrong vender message!

I usualy ran after sync, since the aWisard said it has to be fully ran. I will try it now!
Thank you! hopefully with all of your support I'll get the nedded results! Thanx!!
ok, just tried enable rapi with active sync off, the aWisard reopened and reastablished connection, but it still not finding the rom file.
wait a minute, does the rom file has to be in .nbf format or .nba?!
I'm looking right now for Extend Tool (64HTC Extended ROM Tool) and will convert the rom rom to nba file and see what happends.
man, I wonder how it worked for you just running unlock CID command and upgrading with the upgrade file!
Alek,
You already unlocked the CID from your device did you not? Your first post said you got a success message.
Put your device on the cradle or plug in the usb cable. Let ActiveSync do its thing then after the sync just double click on the RUU update you want to install. Follow the install wizard (NOT aWIZARD) of the RUU update. You do not need aWizard any longer to update the ROM, just use the RUU update you downloaded.
post if you need further help.

I've tried that several times and its still returnes the error!
Alek, one more thing ... you do realize that by doing this, you will wipe your device clean (hard reset) and you will need to load everything from scratch. If you use a back up program like Sprite or SPB backup YOU CAN NOT USE THAT BACKUP once you do this!!! You will be loading everything from scratch.
Just letting you know!!
voyager
OK Alek,
Tell me EVERYTHING you have done up to this point. I need to know what device you have, what ROM is currently on it and what ROM you want to flash with. Give me 5-10mins and I'll check back....lets try to get this resolved for you tonight.
voyager
yep! I do know this.. thank you though! I had an experience with Magician on that but I guess it's not much help with prophet though!
I haven't installed anything on this device yet.. just played with ExtRom, unlocked it and deleted O2 staff out of it just to see if I can do it But I do want to get the right OS in here first and then I'll worry about the rest of programs..
you guys wouldn't happen to have Extend Tool (64HTC Extended ROM Tool)would you? I'm visiting my family and I'm on my brothers PC dont have all my staff with me,and can't seem to find it on the XDA FTP
:?: What 64HTC Extended ROM tool are you referring to? If you're on your brothers computer do you have an ActiveSync connection to YOUR device? If so, is all synced up with your Outlook profile etc...?
First I need to know which Prophet you have (Dopod 818Pro, I-Mate JAMin or Q-Tek S200).
First let me say this, if you have a Q-Tek S200, I don't think you are going to be able to upgrade the ROM. I have seen several threads here that indicate that somehow Q-Tek S200 is permanently locked and that the aWizard program will NOT work on it no matter what, (or at least until some geneius here figures it out
Please let me know

Hey, thank you so much! I really appreciate it!
ok, I have XDA Neo, German Version
rom 2.9.4.30 GER
rom date 2.14.06
protocol 413.1.03
ExtRom 2.9.4.120
First I have unlocked ExtRom with Wizards Utility
Then I tried to reflash the device to WWE rom with different upgrade utilities from different venders, tried Qtek s200,it didn't work, reterned wrong Vender ID error, then Imate- same result, then Dopod, using diferent RUU wizards, including Wizard Rom Upgrade Utility NoID.
still, no luck..
then I tried aWizard,
first I ran Rapi enable
second I made a back up of my own rom,
then Unlock CID,
then tried writing rom using aWisard, didnt work, aWizard doesn't finds any roms(and the program and rom are in the root directory of c
then tried just unlocking the CID and use Upgrade Wizards again, still, no luck!
tried praying, that didn't help either!
thinking about beer now! But I don't think that would help either
I did sync with PC and outlook.. activeSync4.1
I even tried flashing it with Danish rom, that I couldn't install it either..(I've read on XDA that flashing danish rom first than and only than I could try it to put WWE in to it. well, that didn't work either)
I tried running all possible rom upgrades that are available, and always got wrong vender id error.
even after aWizard reported that my rom was unlocked!
so I have no Idea what else I can try!
may be getting drunk and "sync it in the toilet"!
If we get this to work, you owe me a beer!!! OK, here's what I need you to do...
1) I tried researching this board for any signs of the O2 Neo being permanently locked like the Q-Tek S200, could find NOT anything. (edited, could NOT find anything)
2) Do you have a copy of the I-Mate JAMin RUU update on your brothers computer? If so great, if not, go get it. Try the latest one that came out yesterday.
3) Once you have this I-Mate JAMin ROM (save it to the Desktop for easy finding later) let me know.
4) Also, make sure you have ActiveSync 4.1 and it is set up and you have synced at least once with it. It doesn;t matter at this point what PIM info is on it since its going buh bye ina while, I just need it synced with a REAL partnership, not Guest.
Let me know when you have all these things done...
voyager
you've got the deal on bear! all you can drink! I'll bring you the german staff on my next visit to states!
any way, got it all! Imate jamin rom and sync has been done!
OK,
1) do a soft reset on the device. Once the device is fully up again, plug the usb cable in and let ActiveSync do its thing.
2) Open aWizard. Run the Rapi deal again. After that run the unlock CID.
3) If you get a success message after the unlock CID, CLOSE aWizard.
DO NOT UNPLUG THE NEO FROM THE USB!!! Let me know when this is done.
I found your 64HTC Tool:

Is my second hand Orbit CID Unlocked

How can I tell if my UK O2 Orbit is CID unlocked? I bought it 2nd hand and told it was sim free does this mean it is already CID unlocked? All I know for sure is it works with an orange and virgin sim aswell as O2!
I ran the Artemis_USPL prog which gave me a white screen then disconnected me from A,Sync I had to remove the battery and replace to get my phone back so couldnt run through the rom-burning process that followed.
I am hoping to replace my exsisting O2 rom with the Touch 3.01 full but the last thing i want is to end up with a brick, any advice appreciated
No need for CID unlock
Hi coolin,
there is no need to CID-unlock.
Just follow the whole USPL-procedure. The white screen
on your Artemis and the disconnection of activesync
is normal during this procedure.
Every time you want to test a ROM: perform the USPL-procedure.
Regards,
mytrinity
Sorry for sounding such a noob but I went ahead and tried to burn the touch 3.01 and after 3% it cam back and said the image file is corrupt! it rebooted my PDA but thankfully all is fine could this be a one off shall i try again?
UK orbit and Windows Vista Ultimate PC
thanks in advance
Ofcourse you should try again, don't give up so soon.
But everything you do with your device is at your own risk.
I'm using Windows XP and never had any problems with flashing. For Windows Vista there is sometimes an extra exe-file included in the ROM-packages to write the ROM. I'm not sure about the USPL-procedure.
Have a read thru thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=311403 to see if it is wise to use Vista for the USPL-procedure.
OMG DUDE and Holy Sh~T you rock!!! its sorted and its like having a whole new Artemis on steroids thanks a lot for your help its mucho appreciated.
tbh I did noob a little I wasnt letting the 1st procedure enough time and although I did it with XP im sure all would have been ok with Vista.
cheers again a very happy me

HELP NEEDED Please - 8525 brick!

hello, i have read and read all the wiki's, but ive not been able to fix my phone.
i use a cingular 8525 (herm100) phone, and cannot install any rom on the phone. I have two versions of the At&t ROM with radio's and tried them both, but they all stop at 11-12 %.
i have tried usind the sd-card method, and it does not pass the "GSM - " portion.
i guess the radio is not working or is corrupt or something..
my phone is now in bootloader and just says
HERM100
IPL-1.04
HERM100
SPL-2.03
please any help will be appreciated. thank you!!!!
wow.. can anyone even say "sorry"
geez.. 35 views, and not even one reply, or consolation message, or anything??
I would update your copy of Windows Mobile Device Center first (especially if you're using Vista). Flash SPL and the radio, then flash any rom to see what happens. I mean really at this point, it's already a brick... try some crazy stuff, you can't hurt it anymore than it already is. I did the same thing to mine a couple of months ago, and after trying these things, I got it working again without a problem.
update to hard spl ver.7.
try to flash
a). stock rom (sometimes this works)
b). radio only rom.
Also make sure you unlock your phone with this : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=293665
Hope this helps...

Just to make sure I understand, the unlocker you linked is to SIM and CID unlock, correct ?? And then on top of that - you should update to HardSpl also ??
I have an 8525 on its way that I will be looking to upgrade - just want to make sure I am understanding correctly.

sorry for the late reply
i have been dealing with this for 3 days and finally managed to run official AT&T rom for 4 days wout hard reset.
there is a method dumping an official himalaya rom to hermes. az pof explained in one of his posts all commands except radio commands are different in himalaya so it is safe to use dumping method.
it basically deletes everything in radio rom so you can install official rom.
PS: at first install official rom stucked %12 i said damn but in second try %15 third try success
i am at work now i dont have the link of method but try googling or searching my posts (not too much )
i hope it solves your problem
bartan
thanks guys, i've tried some things
i have tried using Hard SPL v.7 it does not work.
i have tried using official cingular roms too. stops at 11% no success.
i have tried upgraing radio only, stops a 0% and restarts the device.
i have also used mtty, with some text inputs, no success
i have even tried selling the brick on e-bay .... as you can guess no success.!
bill_in_mtl, sorry bout lateness of my reply ( net problems), yes you do unlock sim and cid. Sim unlock means you can use ANY simcard from any carrier and Cid unlock means you can flash ANY hermes rom (both official or cooked). It needs to be unlocked first as the spl is downgraded to 1.40 (I think) and you should REALLY be running with 2.10 olipro (hard SPL ver 7). I wouldnt bother upgrading to Hard SPL ver 9 a this is essentially only ver 7 with some neat features for developers but it does throw up an error message when you finish flashing a rom(no problems t just feels like it).
Hard SPL WON'T stop you from bricking your phone BUT it will make it easier to recover.
roomtek*8525, sorry to hear that but have you tried flashing with a cooked rom? This unfortunately wont fix the phone part but you will have a working PDA...If you've tried MTTY with info 8 and task 2a commands then thats the best to hope for, Sorry bout that..

Help with my first flash

Hi all as you can see form the title im new and would like to flash my wing, I just got a bricked wing, replaced LCD and its working now but slow as hell Ive already clocked it to 247 would not go any higher screen would flicker, now i want to flash in hopes that i can clock it higher, Ive been reading this guide
A Herald's Guide to Flashing Aserg, USPL and HARD-SPL need a few answers on things that I'm not to clear on, What is SPL, and how can i find out if i have 4.0 or higher. and can i put any NBH OS file in that RUU folder, and the only program i need to flash is ActiveSync, sound very easy compared to Moto phones.
and one last thing is there any other flashing tutorials out there what i can read up on before i do my first flash,
any help would be greatly appreciated
you should use USPL or HardSPL to flash. SPL contains the cid lock and other stuff. USPL temporarily bypasses the lock and HardSPL overwrites it.
you can put any .nbh in the ruu as long as it's specifically made for herald.
to check your spl version, go into bootloader by soft resetting while holding the camera key.
Hi and thanks for the quick reply all went well with my flash, but for some reason i cant over clock past 247 thning start flickering, thank you

if you flash the nvid rom you wont have hard spl but if its any rom other than that you will still have your hard spl.you can check if you still have hard spl when you switch your phone on. Its easier to flash with xp but in the new wm6.5 roms it will have the option to choose the vista option.select the vista option because its the same with seven.i personally take the sim and memory card out.hope this helps
