Hello ya'all. This is my first post so first of all I'd like to congratulate you for the excellent site and forum !
There is a lot of resource info around here ! Great Job !!!
But unfortunately for some new people getting into this new world of WMobile even what it looks simple to you might be slightly blurred to us.
I bought in France a HTC P3300
IPL 1.12.0001
SPL1.12.0000
GSM 02.67.90
OS 1.12.00
ROM 1.12.406.1.FRE
RADIO 02.67.90
PROTOCOL 4.1.13.28
ROM EXT V.1.12.406.101
ARTE 100
Of course the WM came in French. Well I am willing to change it to WWEnglish and I've been doing my homework researching and reading, reading, reading through this website. Found the steps to do it thanks to Kleinemeus at this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=290241 and found the DOPODAU and LOVE ROMS as well the Extended Rom in the ftp site. As well as I found my P3300 is the same as MDA compact III, XDA Orbit, P800W, Dopod P800 ....
But I still a couple of silly doubts that I gonna ask for you MASTERS your mercy to clarify me with your wisdoom and expertise.
1) After flashing my P3300 with a English ROM will it have all same basic features/programs I have in French like, the radio, tomtom gps, etc ? In other words, doing this is like getting a desktop that came with windows in french and installing a windows in english ?
2) After being successful of flashing the Rom following the steps described in the link above by Kleinmeus how can I upgrade the Extended Rom found at the ftp ?
I really appreciate if someone could help me with these 2 questions.
Thanks in advance !!!
It should work
Be careful when flashing becos many ppl cant get it right.
If you manage to flash it successfully you should have almost the same functionality.
I dnt know abt the ROM.
Is ur phone CID unlocked?If not do it before u change the ROMS.It will be a big disaster if u get stuck in between and u cant do anything.
Yups, you'll have all the basic apps that are part of WM5.
Regarding TomTom or other Commercial GPS applications, these are not part of WM5 package and are installed by supplier, so you'll have to confirm whether the ROM that you are planning to flash has that specific GPS app.
Regardinf Extended ROM, these come as part of ROM that you will plan to flash. Usually people only take some specific apps/patches from other Extended ROM that wasn't part of supplied/flashed ROM (i guess I am right about this)
I'm searching for the original german ROM for Polaris. In the ROM Section there is only O2 Version of it.
I am searching for it too...
i dumped mine. but i did not yet reflash it. i can upload it if you want to test it. but at your own risk.
ID: POLA100
ROM: 1.25.407.1 GER (12/17/07)
RADIO: 1.58.21.23
PROTO: 25.65.30.04H
SPL: 1.25.0000
CPLD: 2
Ok, pls upload, this is my last try.
http://rapidshare.com/files/102226089/RUU_signed.7z
it is the dumped OS, maybe its ok for all.
@ daze81
And, have you tried the image? Does it work?
had to search the tools for updating the rom with your version (after i tried the wm6.1 version
i let you know next days ...
thanks
cu camel
thanks would like to know if it works
Well, if the SPL isnt included, you basically can't brick your device (I might be mistaken about that though ). Youll always be able to fall back to the bootloader (multi color screen) and then just reflash a working ROM.
ok, there is no SPL included. i just dumped the original OS and rebuilded it. nothing else.
I guess I gonna give it a quick shot before I flash the next bepe... unless somebody else is first and confirms your working backup before I get the chance to do so.
Did anybody try?
Hi to all!
Did anybody try the original german Polaris dump (http://rapidshare.com/files/102226089/RUU_signed.7z)?
Or does anybody have a working original german ROM?
I don't want to flash another ROM before I don't have a working "backup" for warranty issues.

the user hyson told me that this rom seems to work. i did not test it for myself yet.
you'll need hard-spl and a custom ruu to flash it. then you can go back to original spl.

Thanks for the information! Let's trust Hyson
@ Schaggo: sorry for full quote, but I have to say thanks for both information....
I got fed up with those cooked ROMs. I'm downloading and flashing the dazes dump (thanks bro!) right now. I'll report how dead my orbit is afterwards...
<edit hmm... yeah, it's looking good. Its booting, definitively German and everything seems in order... />
The ROM looks good ... seems to indeed be the orig. German ROM.
But what Radio ROM did Daze81's Polaris have ?
Since I may have to return my Polaris to HTC for repair, I want to make sure it's the way it was before I used some cooked ROMs. (And I can't remember what Radio ROM it had ).
Cheers,
Andreas
It has no Radio included. And if you want to go for warranty, you can reflash Radio 1.58.21.23 which was the original Radio.
You'll find it in the original German orbit 2 ROM thread which is linked in my signature. I provided the Radio as well in the other thread...
Schaggo,
thanks for the info and the link !
Cheers,
Andreas
dumped german rom
excuse me, how do i flash the xxxxx.7z file?? must I unzip it in any way??
thank you for answering
www.7zip.org is the tool of your choice. use the file inside this archive with Custom_RUU for example.

Unlock it to SPL 1.2, then try out any of the WM6 WWE stock ROM. Think carefully and beware of the consequence of unlocking to spl3.5, cause it is a way of no return, at least for now and may be a long long time to come.

I love Pizza but I know, Pizza is the end of a looong trail, and you are just in the middle of the beginning ,
If you want to change language or vendor ID, or just to flash ANY rom you like (even an ORIGINAL HTC Sauerkraut version ), do you need to change the SPL. In this way your device will became SUPERCID (or just the flashing process jumps over the CID info).
Your ATHENA has ITALIAN LANGUAGE hard coded into the SPL and you can't change it without affecting the SPL (Language id and Vendor id are the CID and SUPERCID means... joker)
Use ATHENA WRAPPER, from OLIPRO (donate if you like) from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=316846.
ATHENA UNLOCKER is just for SIM unlocking too
After this stage you will have a new SPL called HARDSPL (because it is hard coded, is IN the ROM), and the flashing process will be free for all ROMs. Your SPL will be 1.2
Original ATHENA ROM is a WM5 rom, the UPDATE is a WM6
From HERE http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=397518 you will find the newest ROM, the German listed is WM6.0 , the other are WM6.1 (no official WM6.1 for athena).
If you choose from that list the AP4 your device will have a newly partioned ROM, called SPL 3.5 and in the next future you can't use neither original HTC ROMs nor cooked 1.2 SPL ROMs. The only advantage in SPL 3.5 is the capability to use AP4 and AP5 (it needs more ROM space)
Happy flashing
Thanks a lot,I did it and it works perfectly now,i love this forum
Yesterday when I bougth the machine,I didn't check nothing about getting a new rom because I knew the forum for quite a long time
Thanks again

Still waiting
Can somebody so kind and so good enough to help
ready to donate, have phone from HK, need to flash russian.
Anybody have hard spl?
ready to donate too for the hard spl!!
count me in for donation.
count me in for donation.
You guys should total up the donations ... and then offer a it up as a total BOUNTY to entice a programmer to develop a ROM, I have seen this used with great success on other forums.
You can flash the" offical rom " to change the language different.
Of course.Do it with the "Gold Card".
erm... may I know what is a Gold card?
Why don't you guys try the ones in the thread "Photon FRA, GER, ITA, NLD, NOR, PTG, RUS, SPA WWE TW DAN Shipped ROMS"?
because htc mobiles check the "vendor id" burned inside the rom
Does it mean those ROMs are only for unlocked HTC Minis or what? I ordered mine today (unlocked) and my idea is to flash it with one of those to change the language (it's coming in Italian). Can I do that?
NitroNitrous, I don't think so.
Mmmmmm... so I need that Hard SPL as well? What can happen f I try to flash one of those ROMs without it?
probably nothing but you get the ROM has not stuck at 0%

Do you know if it Elf or Elfin (Elfin is double memory), it's important if you have to flash a rom. Here's a link for original roms http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=Elf_Upgrades , none is Italian.

yes it's surely elf because on the box the name is htc p3450/3452 Ita S
so elf isn't S i think is the xl model
now i'm going out, but if you can help me to know what is the problem, tomorrow we can meet again
i want to remove tim's brand and i will put in a good rom with large buttons
see you bb and thanks
As far as I know xl is elfin, and if you flashed the wrong rom maybe that's why you got this problem. Anyway here's a link to a good friend who's probably more expert on Italian roms than me, Flaviopak, send him a pm http://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=778494
