My O2 XDA is quite old and I have been running a revised WM 2003 ROM 4.01.16 Eng with radio 4.21 for ages.
I want to put back the original rom but can’t get to the bootloader! I have tried every combo of Soft reset and Hard while holding down the power button excreta but noting. What am i doing wrong ? I have a ROM made by XDAtools (i thnk its ok)

Just to add the ROM is T-Mobile - ps its the one you cant upgrade with .EXE PLEASE HELP

Using activesyn?

Harry, have you tried using the bootloader patch in xdatools, if you have xdatools installed, go to start on your desktop then programs/xdatools. An option to fix broken bootloader should be there.

O2 Orbit crashed after PDAMobiz_Dopod_P800W_AKU301_v1.1.0_Lite upgrade attempt

HI all,
I'm desperate...
I recently bought an 02 Orbit that was supposed to be unlocked.
So I downloaded PDAMobiz_Dopod_P800W_AKU301_v1.1.0_Lite.exe, unpacked it and double clicked on UpgradeRom_P800W.bat
A dos installation routine started, then I performed a hard reset by pressing the softkeys + stylus reset.
and now I"m stuck on the O2 logo, with some red informations written :
IPL 1.25.0001
SPL 1.25.0000
GSM 02.67.90
OS 1.28.0.0
but nothing else, the device doesn't boot :-(
I'm completely desperate... I had my Orbit working 1h only and now I still have my eyes to cry.
I've tried to install another ROM like ART_HTCWWE_11240501_026790_WWE_Ship, but when I launch ROMUpdateUtility.exe it says that no device is connected....
I tried to enter the bootloader but I don't understand how I could do that (by the way what do you guys mean by the record button? where is it?)
Could someone explain me how I can recover my crashed device please ?
Thanks in advance

ok I've found the record button and managed to enter the bootloader (red-green-blue screen right?). But it doesn't help. My device is not recognise by my PC anymore, no connection.
The problem is that I didn't make the procedure on IMEICHECK because the vendor said my Orbit was already unlocked. I know, I'm stupid, I should have....
Anyway, now I've my 30€ UNL file,
I've edited a ROM with the hex program, I've change "BsaD5SeoA" with "IMEICHECK save exe file" (I told you I'm stupid, or I didn't exactly understood what you mean, because I don't have any IMEICHECK.exe file)
I tried to launch a ROM upgrade but my device still not be recognised by my computer, even in bootloader mode.
Same **** when I try to launch the C3v1Unlock, it says no device connected.
Please, if you have anything to help me......

After i read this THREAD who explain how to repair my problem ...But it dosent work for me
When i want to flash it, it tell me :
INVALID MODEL ID ,with : RUU_Artemis_DOPODASIA_WWE_LOVE_1.28.717.1_INFINEon gsm4.1.13.30_02.69.90_Cmp_Ship_R.exe
INVALID UPDATE TOLL ,with : _ARTE_DOPODAU_12570702_026990_WWE_SHIP.exe
And after have made the TUTO !
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I saw this post on an other thread... I am having the same problem... I bought artemis from ebay and the seller told me that it was unlocked... But i can't flash it with these ROMs... Did you find a solution? Is it really unlocked?
By the way when the window that tells me "INVALID MODEL ID" shows up at the bottom and to the right of the window there is i big number... Do you know what this is?

Same problem here
I have THE SAME problemhere. The same message on the boot screen. It seems that we are not able to use our XDA ORBIT ;( any more
At least we can download oreginal XDA Orbit english or German ROM OR if someone write RUU for Xda Orbit. Than would be easy - you just go to boot loader and you start your RUU, or easily put .NBH file to your micro SD and flash it from micro SD.Too bad I can just cry over my Xda Orbit. PLEEEASSEEE HELPPP
I also heard that FTP ROM site is going down ---- XDA GENOCIDE!!! What ARE you doing people!

Try the orbit ROM on ftp if it is still there
When a seller says a device is unlocked, all they mean is that you can use any sim card of your choice. To be able to flash another rom you need to CID unlock it. For the Orbit/Artemis family we only have imeicheck selling the program for unlocking cid.
My advice would be to look for the orbit rom on ftp. If it does not work, check with imeicheck if their program works when device is in bootloader mode, and pay them and download the specific application for your device. Good luck

I had a problem with my Orbit when I tried to change the Rom to the PDAMobiz one. I ended up recovering it by...
1 - Hard Reseting it.
2 - Connecting it up to the PC then running C3v2Unlock note v2 from the the IMEICheck site. This made the screen on the Orbit go bright white.
3 - Downloading the the Rom listed in this thread and following the instructions with in the same
It means that my Orbit is seen as a HTC P3300 but it feels quicker. You do need the UNL file from IMEICheck to keep it unlocked. But it worked for me.

Yes I tried everything in bootloader mode,
the C3V2 Unlock program launched but after detecting the device, it says my device is corrupted with a kind message "[probably by your fault]" ;-)
So guys, everyone who's trying to upgrade : CID UNLOCK YOUR PHONE BEFORE DOING ANYTHING, and carefully read the (excellent) tuto.
FYI, here's the discussion I had with Imeichek guys :
------------------------------------------------------------
Hi,
I'm a little desperate and I hope you'll be able to help me...
I recently bought an 02 Orbit that was supposed to be unlocked (I didn't know the difference between SIM lock and CID lock)
I understood, too late, that I should have ask for my UNL file prior to do this stupid "direct upgrade" I did...
Here are the facts :
1- I didn't follow the instructions found on http://forum.xda-developers.com that explained how to order the UNL file and Unlock the device unlocked
2- I downloaded a new ROM (PDAMobiz_Dopod_P800W_AKU301_v1.1.0_Lite.exe)
3- I unpacked it and double-clicked on UpgradeRom_P800W.bat
4- A dos installation routine the started, then when asked, I performed a hard reset by pressing the softkeys + stylus reset.
now I"m stuck on the O2 logo, with some red informations written :
IPL 1.25.0001
SPL 1.25.0000
GSM 02.67.90
OS 1.28.0.0
but nothing else, the device don't go further
I've tried to install another ROM like ART_HTCWWE_11240501_026790_WWE_Ship, but when I launch ROMUpdateUtility.exe it says that no device connected.
I managed to enter the bootloader but my device is still not be recognised by my computer (not connected message). I tried your C3v2Unlock tool but it says the same : NOT CONNECTED
So please, if you have any information or procedure I could try to fix my device, I would really, really, appreciate, especially after my 30€ contribution ;-)
Best regards

Hello,
NO PANIC. You can fix the device. You have to find the CORRECT / a matching ROM for your device. For this you have to know what ORIGINAL phone it is (O2 Xda Orbit UK?)
Tell us what device it is and we try to assist you in fixing it.

yes it's a UK version
-----------------------------------------------
Hello,
hmm, sorry to tell you but for the UK version there is no official ROM update available right now.
All you can to do fix it NOW is to send it to repair (service center).
For our customers we offer to fix the device for free (you only have to pay for shipping costs in both directions). We are located next to Glasgow UK. In case you are interested let us know.

IMEI-CHECK Team
-------------------------------------------------
Ok,
I guess I don't have any other choice.
Wich ROM will you install if there's no official O2 Rom ?
What is the procedure, what's your adress, and how much will cost the return ?
Thanks a lot
Thomas
-----------------------------------------------------
Hello,

here I am,
I guess there is nothing else to do.
First I want to thank you all for trying to help, then thanks to IMeicheck, they replied very fast and found a solution, even if I won't hae my Orbit for several weeks.

2- I downloaded a new ROM (PDAMobiz_Dopod_P800W_AKU301_v1.1.0_Lite.exe)
3- I unpacked it and double-clicked on UpgradeRom_P800W.bat

Maybe you should not have unpacked the file Just clicking on the file icon starts the procedure, which does some checks before actual upgrade starts.
I have switched so many times between the pdamobiz roms and the HTC one so many times I've even lost count

It's been easy for you... because your phone was CID unlocked ;-)

Well i had HTC ROM and now i have pdamobiz... That means that my artemis is cid unlocked???

my orbit is stuck on boot screen exactly as manples'. i tried to flash pdamobiz custom ROM. i can enter bootloader. can u tell me plz to what change "BsaD5SeoA" with "IMEICHECK save exe file" from imeicheck i've got c3v2unlock.exe & unl file. i tried flash it tru sd card-nothing. I've got o2orebit (ARTE200) please hlp

Psrejic, does your Orbit work again? I have the same problem. Can't get passed the splash screen because I flashed it with the PDAmobiz rom.
Only way to go is thrue bootloader. Did the SD flash work for you?

Same problem here Waiting for any solution ...

Only solution so far is imei-check service, witch will cost you: Price of sending to them: (UK) Then 20£+15£(aprox) to pay them for unlocking and repairing + sending back.

That's what I've done,
I received an email where they confirmed the reception of my device and that they flashed it with a new Rom. My device is supposed to work, it's great ! can't wait to try it.

Hi manples ...
You send it to imei-chek?

My Orbit works again! ... but not with a software solution.
I returned the phone to the O2 shop and they gave me a new one immediately. I didn't mention my PDAmobiz Rom upgrade offcourse.
It isn't the nicest way to deal with the problem, but when o2 flashes the rom on the phone they can sell it again.
Then I did the Imei-check solution. Worked and flashed the dopod rom on it.

hi to all yesterday I was your siimilar problem (I've try to install teh powermap rom...) so my Orbit O2 (original german rom) still only in boot screen, today I've try to install this magic rom:

hello there!. i have the same problem, did you manage to get a usb connection? i can't flash it...

Try to get it into bootloader ( Read the Artemis wiki as to how to get into bootloader) and if you are successful then try flashing it with the t-mobile stock rom.

Shipped ROM's in English - http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Artemis_Upgrades
To get into bootloader - hold down the record/voice command button (top left along the side of the phone) and use the stylus to press the recessed reset button on the lower left side of the phone (same side as the other boutton you hold down) Keep holding the record button as you hit and release the reset button, you will eventually see a screen with color bars on it. At this point you will be able to get a USB connection, but not an active sync. Try to start the ROM file when the phone is in this state and connected to your computer.
What is the original language/carrier for your phone?

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

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?

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

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......

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...
