hello forum,
i really hope there is someone out there that knows enough to help me.i have already posted here on the forum a few days ago since my phone on a o2 xda is not working anymore after a recent upgrade.There are also several bugs and problem and the device crashes in some occasions (i.e when i tap the volume button).
i decided to try to downgrade to a previous official version directly downloaded from the o2 web site.I t is the version 3.17.
LOOK WHAT HAPPEN WHEN I TRY TO INSTALL IT.
It cames up this error 012: check error:
The ROM image that you are trying to upgrade is not compatible to your pocket pc.
Here are the differences:
Your device information:
Model: PW10B1

It looks like you installed a 4.00.10 or 4.00.16 ROM from the kitchen. You will need to use the bootloader method before you're able to get back to something else.
Cook a 3.17.03 ROM in the ROMkitchen, and get it as a zipped .nb1 file. Also get the XDAtools and run that exe file. Insert an SD-card (whose contents you do not care about) in the XDA and stick it in the cradle. Then right-click on the .nb1 file from the zip, select to write it to SD-card. Wait for that to finish (the indication of that isn't all too clear yet). Then restart the XDA in bootloader mode by holding the power button while performing a soft-reset (big hole on the bottom). Then hit the center of the rocker keypad when it asks you to press 'Action', wait for the counter to finish, and you're all set.
You're life will be slightly easier if, next time you upgrade, you stay away from T-Mobile ROMs.

unlocking it
Hi to you too,pal! Well don't have to enter the test mode.
First try to install the xda unlock exe file fm this site,and then open it fm your ppc.
If the attept fails,find and download the special rom or rom kitchen,to overwrite a new rom which provides the use of any network.
Finally I've discovered a tip,on sx56.When is asking for SID lock code not PIN,type the number zero eight times.

I just unlocked my TMO XDA 1 ... it was painful! Here's a lesson's learned checklist.
1. Get a SD card reader/writer. ~$20 @ CompUSA.
2. Get a 64M SD Card for Bootloader flashing your unit.
3. Build a 3.17.03.exe ROM image at Yorch kitchen.
4. Backup current CE+boot to your 64M SD card. Enter Bootloader, wait for a "GSM OK" message to appear, press contact button next to speaker. Scroll down to Boot+CE->SD, select. This will copy current ROM to SD card.
5. Take this sd card, put in sd card reader/writer and using OSImageTool.exe (part of XDAtools), copy card to pc folder called CurrentROM or similar.
4. Remove sim & sd card from unit.
5. Put in cradle & connect to pc. Using a guest partnership is okay.
6. Run the 3.17.03.exe file. Mine failed. Couldn't read device config. Said to check USB/serial cable connection.
7. Went back to Yorch kitch, created 3.17.03.nb1 file, downloaded it, copied to SD card via sd card reader/writer & OSImageTool.
8. Insert this sd card into your unit, enter Bootloader & it will ask if you want to load this O/S, do so. This worked for me. Do a hard reset after successfully completion and when it comes up, it states unit is sim locked, do you want to change this, tap Yes. I copied XDAunlock.exe to unit, via A/S to confirm unit was really unlocked. XDAunlock confirmed unit was unlocked.
9. Problem, flashing to 3.17.03 put phone model to PW10A1, mine is PW10B1. Any .exe ROM upgrade software will not work. They "see" a model A and they're configured to install software for a model B ... at least in the USA.
10. To get around this, I put a ROM4.00.21.nb1 on the SD card via sd writer, upgraded unit's ROM via Bootloader. This was successful and model was put to PW10B1.
11. Then I ran my ROM4.01.00.exe which completely finished installing the RSU & ROM on my unit. The advanced copy of TMO's ROM4.01.00, RS6.24.01 is combined into an .exe. I'm sure .nb1 and .nbf exist.
I'm running an unlocked TMO XDA 1 and just packaged it for selling. Good luck.
i send the xdaunlock file in my ppc and open it but they show error erro to getting code , i send the file with infra red and open it in start>programes>filexplorer>mydocuments
but show error
i have only usb cable and infra red
please guide me
and its hard to purchase com cable from any other site just give me schematic and pinouts for cable i will make it by my own

Your ROM version is too old: if you install the XDA-developers Special Edition ROM it will provide you with some new features, and resolve your SIMlock problem as well.
Note that this will involve cold-booting your device, so backup all your information first.
how i update to rom because i have only usb cable which comes in box
there is any other way to make cable because it is hard to purchase for me give me schematic and pinouts etc.
wbr
Ahsan Moosani
you don't need a serial cable to flash your xda. just got to the kitchen at www.yorch.net. cook a ROM based on 3.17 and select the exe method. down load the file to ur PC and connect the xda to the cradle and make sure it's connected to power. run the exe file and follow the instructions.
good luck
@Biso007

I want to use my phone in Vodafone in Spain. So I need to unlock.
I have the unlock tool from XDA but it says 'error getting unlock code'
this is due because it is incompatible with the version of ROM/Software I have on my PDA.
Now, I have a small problem. I dont have the USB cables, (I want t buy them but I cant find them ANYWHERE...if any of you know...that would be of MAJOR help.)
Is there a way around that? Is there a tool for my version?
Can I do this via my SD Card?
http://www.romkitchen.de/
Is this site worth trusting? What would I select to make my phone unlocked? I see on that site a rom for Spain's Telefonica (which I could easily make the switch to, and I wouldnt need to unlock phone?)
Can anyone explain to me the process?
Thanks!
I tried to unlock and can't. I tried the XDAUnlock tool and the special edition ROM. I never got a message if I wanted to unlock it. I have radio versionA.20.11 Is this the problem? If it is is there easy directions to use.
By XDAUnlock are you referring to the Unlock Wizard in the XDA-Developers Wiki?

Have a look here as well:

When I run the file it does ask me if I want to unlock. However I get an error message unknown deviece type PW10A1 see xdadev_all_unlock.log file for details. Where is that log?
You used the wrong file.
You have to use XDAunlock. Directlink is here:

I tried that many times and still get the error code "error getting unlock code.
Please post you ROM and your Radio Version.
You get this at Start -> Settings -> System -> Device Information

Maybe it's a problem with the radio stack version.
ROM-Version is the right one.
You could try changing your Radio Version and retry the xdaunlock tool again.
I think you have a PW10B-device (check rear sticker) so you have to use the 6.xx Radio-Versions
Download an Upgrade for your device. RSU Version 6.24.20 -> ftp://xda:[email protected]/Wallaby/Radio_Stack/RSU_V6.24.20_PPC.zip
Extract the downloaded ZIP-File and copy all files to the /Windows directory of your device.
Copy the RSUpgrade.exe additional to the /windows/startup directory.
Make an soft reset of your device.
Place your device in the cradle. Run Active Sync on your device.
The RSU Upgrade will run in the background.
Wait for about 10 Minutes. The upgrade should complete in the background....
Afterwards try again the xdaunlock tool.
HTH
Stefan
PS: ATTENTION Flashing Radio Version and/or ROM could end your device as a paperweigth. So it's your own risk....
This link does not work. Page can't be displayed. Is there another way to get the download. And by the way did I thank you for all of your help!!!!
ftp://ftp.xda-developers.com/Wallaby/Radio_Stack/
Choose 6,24.20 stack zip file.
To log in use "xda" and "xda"
I can't open the page it says this:The page cannot be displayed. Is it not available for a reason?
If you are using internet explorer, once the blank page appears, right click on page and choose "log in" user name xda, password xda.
I tried everything. When I tried the RSUpgrade I received this error. Cannot find 'RSUpgrade' (or one of its components). Make sure the path and filename are correct and all the required libraries are available. Help me if you can!!!!
I have this X01HT that my sister gave me. I was able to change the language using the following.

SSPL-HERM
I think this is Windows Mobile 5. I want now to upgrade it Windows Mobile 6. I found these 2 files here.

Questions:
1. What ROM shall I use to upgrade to Windows Mobile 6 (HTC_TyTN_WWE_3.54.255.3_6275_1.48.00.10_108 or Schaps_WM6Pro_WWE_4.01_Full)?
2. Shall I use the SSPL-HERM that I downloaded from this forum to enter into bootloader or shall I press at the same time the POWER button and OK button?
3. How can I upgrade my Radio Version?
4. What other enhancement I can do with my X01HT?
5. Can someone help me unlock my X01HT? I tried using HTC_Hermes_SIM_CID_Unlock_v3a but no luck. Is there another way to do it without paying?
Hope to hear from all the experts here.
Thanks!
Hi all.
I start by contemplating the fact that there are quite some portuguese members arround.
Força Portugal
I just got hold of a O2 Xda Orbit. It has windows mobile in english and I want to put it in portuguese.
I don't know how
I have been reading about the ROM's in portuguese but I am afraid of just upgrading without knowing what I am doing.
That is why I am now requesting you guys to point me in the right direction

You do need ActiveSync for XP or older, or Windows Mobile Device Center for Vista (download the latest version from Microsoft).
In general you have to do the following steps:
1. Connect your Artemis to the computer using a USB cable.
2. Do NOT make a partnership. If you get a wizard or popup, just cancel/quit it.
3. obtain the rom of your choice (it sounds like you've allready found a PTG rom)
4. make sure your Artemis is CID unlocked. If not, use artemis USPL for this.
5. run RUU.exe or RomUpdateUtility.exe which is usually provided with the rom. If not, find a recent version HERE. If you use a RUU.exe not provided with your rom, just remove the old rom (a large file with the extension .nbh) and put your rom in the folder with RUU.exe
6. Follow steps on the screen. Read the information / caution rules, press next a few times, then press update.
7. The Artemis will go into boot loader mode (first a three color screen, then a grey one with a white/blue progress bar)
8. wait some time, until the wizard says you're finished
9. The Artemis will reboot. Wait for it to completely start windows, then do a hard reset (push both softkeys and the reset button, release reset button after a few seconds). This way you make sure your rom gets flashed well
10. Wait for the progress bar to end again and for windows to start
11. Start calibrating your screen and customising windows to your needs.
This should do it
Hi folks!
I have a O2 Xda Orbit (in the wiki, the cruiser version).
Whenever I run the update tool to update whatever (splash screen gsm radio version, rom) it spits out this error:
The Image file is corrupted. Please check your Update Utility
What is wrong?

Thanks in advance
Are you in Windows Vista? (Try Windows XP)
Do you have an SDHC card? (Take it off)
And don't forget to run USPL before you flash anything.
Also you can search for a newer version of the update utility (although I don't know if that will work).
thanks for replying
Hi!
First, thanks for replying.
USPL is the one that makes my screen show a tux pinguin, right? (how cool... can we run linux on that? )
if I run uspl firts it freezes showing a penguin and its not connected to computer via activesync, therefore not able to connect with rom updater
I will try to remove sdhc card
