Hi guys
Just a quick question and I hope you guys can answer me.
I have got the MDA Vario with T-Mobile and have upgraded the ROM to 2.17.7.2 WWE (this is the Qtek Rom) and it works just great.
My question is, however, can I downgrade this ROM to the original T-Mobile ROM it came with?
I am wondering since I want to send the phone back to T-Mobile but am worried if they see I have upgraded it they will not take it back.
Please help.
Thanks kindly
You'll need to use lokiwiz to unlock the device and then reinstall the opriginal ROM. As you have an AKU2 ROM you'll need to downgrade the ROm first to an old custom QTEk ROM and then run lokiwiz to unlock then re-install the ROM. There s along post on this forum or the upgrade forum on how to do this. There are alos posts re putting the device back into it's original state if you need to ship it back to a vendor - can't find them just now but would suggest you trawl the forums... painful though it may be
Hey thanks loads. I have looked around to try and find how to restore everything but can't find it yet. I'll carry on looking but if you can suddenly remember where they are I'd appreciate it
Also, do I have to downgrade the QTek ROM first, or can I just install the T-Mobile ROM straight away?
Thanks again

Does it matter that the link above looks like it is for US? I have UK T-Mobile
DaveyG th solution is explained at http://forum.xda-developers.com/vie...IBwAAABi/2UG&bcsi_scan_filename=viewtopic.php
If you want a TMo UK ROM got ot the TMo UK Site http://t-mobile.iris-global.com/mdas.html
Thanks JoninLA, the phone is unlocked using Loki already as that is how I upgraded the ROM, but I will make sure I have unlocked it and then install the original ROM from the T-Mobile site.
Thanks so much again, now I should be able to send it back, providing it all works...
Hi Guys,
I have searched the forum, but no solution for my problem. I had a dutch htc 3300. My device is not unlocked. I have tried to flash the pdamobiz rom to my device and since can`t get by the splash screen. STUPID!!! I can get into the bootloader but I need the original dutch rom to flash. Can anybody upload please? Cannot do anything with it now.
If I am right, there is no way to unlock the device in this situation!?!
Any suggestions?
thanks
Exact same issue a couple of hours ago.. see my Help Desperate post below this one.. it worked for me.
how
What exactly did you do? I did not understand your thread. How did you unlock your device?
What is meant by this:
not your flashing one, but clean bootloader, by hardreset followed by record and reset
thanks
Wait
Hi Guys,
Is there not a solution? Do I have to wait for HTC to release a dutch rom upgrade? I still don`t understand why the Pdabiz rom killed my device?
Please help me out
thanks

That refers to the flashing Tmobile boot screen that shows and stays.. it wouldn't boot any further.
If you press record (left top side of your device, small button above the volume slider) and hold this while pressing reset you will get into the real bootloader mode (a tri-colour screen) that allows you to do a USB connect.
Now go to: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Artemis_Upgrades
and download the following ROM for your T-Mobile device:
T-Mobile English T-MOB005 ARTE***** 1.13.110.1 9/22/06 1.13.110.101 1.13.0000 02.49.90 4.1.13.25 (direct link: ftp://xda:[email protected]/art_tmouk_11311001_024990_wwe_ship.exe)
Just run this exe while in that bootloader (tri-colour) mode.
Good luck, that did it for me.
Not T-mobile
Hi,
Thanks for your reply. But my device is not T-mobile branded. It is a original HTC.
Tried your method but does not work.
Will have to find someone with a dutch rom I think
I am out of ideas
*bump
I have the same problem.. I can get into bootloader screen, but I can't find a T-Mobile ROM to flash.
Anyone with a working link to a T-Mobile ROM? The link was removed from this page..
Thnx

What language was your original T-Mobile in? I presume Dutch since you live in Holland. Unless you had your phone unlocked before you tried to flash it, you can only restore the same ROM. Unfortunately there is no Dutch ROM as far as I know.
So how did you solve it? Thought you had this problem 2 months ago..
And yes the original language was Dutch..
Im contacting T-Mobile right now, and they should have a NL version but the site is down atm.

Personally I never tried to flash my phone, maybe you read an answer from me to someone with a similar problem.
T-Mobile can provide you with the correct ROM, but I don't think it can be found at their site. Well, it was not there last time I looked anyway.

Hmm you were right.. it was somebody else.
The ROM should be avaible @ http://www.t-mobile.nl/software but that site isn't working at the moment. They told me that the only thing I could do now, is going to a T-Mobile shop and let them send it for a fix.
So my hopes are on a PM that I send to the author of this post. Perhaps he's able to give me the original ROM.

Mmm, I think he was looking for a T-Mobile ROM in the English language, so you cannot use that because it has a different signature. Unless you're phone is unlocked?
nope..
But I can give it try anyway..
Want to use the fixing by T-Mobile as a last resort..

I just checked their Dutch site and it is up and running again. Hate to disappoint you, but there is no original complete Dutch ROM for download, only an update with a Blackberry Client.
You may find a ROM for a MDA III though, be careful not to use that one because that is a different model, also known as Blue Angel. It has a sliding mechanism and a keyboard for example.

MDA III Update...
I also have my P3300 f*cked up...
Thnx for the link!
But this doesn't work if your MDA is in bootloader.. this program needs an ActiveSync connection
Hmm...
I'm thinking about sending it to HTC voor repair
I'm going to do one more thing and that's is backup the OS
from a friend that also had a HTC P3300 NL and hope to make
a ROM file...
So let's hope that will work!
But if you made a backup you still need to connect to your MDA while it's in bootloader...
If anyone knows how to do that...
Yep i know... i've tried everything! with mtty.exe and nothing
works.
See below the reaction from IMEI-CHECK:
Hello,
sorry to tell you the BAD NEWS but you REALLY can not fix the phone yourself.
You only have 2 options to get the phone fixed:
1) you find the "ORIGINAL HTC P3300 DUTCH ROM Update" and flash the device from bootloader (most likely not available)
2) you send the phone to repair
Sorry to tell you but there are REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY no other options.
The mistake from you was to use the risky ROM update without CID unlocking the phone BEFORE.

IMEI-CHECK Team

Hello,
I've a broken HTC P3300 (Dutch). The story is this:
It has no sim-lock but it does have a CID-Lock.
I update my Dutch HTC P3300 to this ROM:
- PDAMobiz_Dopod_P800W_AKU301_v1.1.2_PowerMap
and that whent great. Everything worked. After this i saw another ROM and i installed it:
- Tom HTC Artemis Rom v2.00.01 PDAVIET
and the update whent fine, but after hard reset it stops at the HTC Logo with the version numbers.
I only can get to the bootloader and do some thing with hyperterminal (mtty.exe).
When i want to install this ROM:
- HTC_1.12.405.01_026790_WWE_SHIP
it says that i get this error after 2%:
ERROR [244] WRONG MODEL ID
When i use art_tmouk_11311001_024990_wwe_ship.exe it says i have the WRONG VENDER ID.
I have made a backup with aWizard and have these files:
-HTCLogo.nba
-OS.nba
-Radio.nba
-Splash.nba
-boot.rgu
and a folder ExtRom that is empty...
Can you help me with this? I hope so!!
Thanks for your help!
Version numbers:
IPL 1.12.0001
SPL 1.12.0000
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.
brgds
Andi
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.

hi all, Gratz for great forum.
I received from friend of mine a brick called HTC - on back is label ARTE100.
it is freeze on bootscreen, that is good for now.
BUT i have information that it is comming from Netherlands, and was locked before.
Someone else is bricked upgrading it without CID unlock beforehand.
I have tried almost all available original ROMs, well some of them missed.
My question is is there any way to check by IMEI , which carrier was before?
And is there any available factory ROM from this carrier.
There is no sign or any label on it.
freezing screen is:
IPL 3.04.0001
SPL 3.04.0001
GSM 02.93.90
OS 3.4.0.0
Thank You Very much for any answer .

I guys, I'm trying to repair my ARTEMIS that I bricked but I don't know which was the original rom because I have flashed with WM6 original rom the day after I bought it.
As asked by Stopper there is a way to know which was original rom so I could try to restore it by SD card?
thank you so much
bye
There's no way through the device (no device flash history), however it's usually the stock carrier ROM so try flashing to that.

The answers are confusing, I have one Mda Tmobile (Artemis) with exactly the same problem. It had german rom originally, and I tied Uspl and had error at the end, maybe the version was lower cause i did not check. Since I could not be able solve it. when you try wwe rom it says invalid vendor Id, any other rom give ivalid model id error.
Is there any solution available for this?
Thanks
Kenny

run the official exe
find it's content in users application data (in documents and settings)
copy to somewhere else
delete the spl.nbh and run the ruu

This all depends on if the stock TmoUK rom includes a radio rom that is sim locked really. Personally, i wouldn't update unless i knew there was something in the new rom that would fix a problem i was having.
i downloaded RUU_Leo_TMO_UK_1.72.110.4_Radio_CRC_Signed_15.32.50.07U_2.07.51.22_2_Ship Firmware

That will probably sim lock the phone if it came sim locked.
Search for and download Dutty's NBH Tool. Use it to extract the NBH into individual NB files and then rebuild the NBH file containing only the OS and SPLASH files.
If you do it correctly, you can flash the ROM safely to your phone without the risk of re-locking the SIM due to the radio and you won't need to worry about changing the SPL and re-locking that either.
thanks for the replay but i dont know how exactly i suppose to do that
the Rom RUU EXE file and dutty can open nbh

Why not just just flash the HTC 1.66 WWE ROM rather than the T-Mobile version (1.72)? It is the same but without the T-Mobile guff. That is what I have done with my T-MUK HD2.
I flashed mine with the 1.66 WWE rom to get shot of the T-Mobile stuff, and all is well. It did not remove the unlock. I tried a cooked rom and different radio rom a while back and that was fine also.
Hope this helps,
Chris.

you mean it is ok to flash RUU_Leo_TMO_UK_1.72.110.4_Radio_CRC_Signed_15.32.50.07U_2.07.51.22_2_Ship rom without any troubles.
err no he said that he flashed the generic 1.66 rom (which is sim unlocked anyway) and that was ok. what you have is the tmouk branded 1.72 rom that shipped on the phone. This also includes the radio rom that shipped with the phone THAT IS SIM LOCKED. If you flash the file you have without removing the radio rom from it you will effectively restore your phone to the as shipped state.
AND IT WILL BE SIM LOCKED AGAIN!!
Can someone please answer me if it is ok to flash that Rom . if not please provide me with the same rom but without the sim lock
How Can I remove the Radio rom form the official T-mobile rom it is RUU file
I extracted the NBH file and got 769.nb, 896.nb, 1552.nb, 1553.nb, 2336.nb , PrimarySplash.nb , SPL.nb and Windows.nb. which one of them should i remove and which one should i compine again in NBH to flash it . which one is the radio rom.
