Latest update: http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?p=363228#363228
Let me first say: I am unsure if my SIM is now unlocked and if it has a CID check. Therefore I'm unsure if the info in the related topic http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=62496 applies. Therefore I'm posting this new topic.
I recently got a Orange SPV M600 which as far as I understand is a HTC Prophet. I am totally new to PDAs but wanting to use it with my T-Mobile sim and with a fair amount of computer knowledge on board decided to unlock it myself using imei-check.co.uk/m600unlock.php
I ran the program and it said the sim was succesfully unlocked. However when I tried to power on the device after that, it was stuck at the 3 color screen only displaying the values:
IPL 2.10.0001
SPL 2.10.0001
This gave me quite a scare because the device is brand new. Soft and hard reboot bring me back to the same screen. This morning I tried running the tool again and the unlocked failed giving me a message that key / imei do not match. After rebooting it now also shows the value RUU at the upper right corner of the screen.
I read some of the posts on this forum and did a little research on Google. I think I know what my next steps should be but I'm terrified to toast my M600.. I already fell in love with it! Could you guys give me feedback before I try the following?
* Download and unzip:
xda:[email protected]/Prophet/Shipped_Complete_Updates/RUU_Prophet_2151327_21513121_021921_DOP_ASIA_WWE_Ship-NoVendorID.zip
* Follow the steps on http://wiki.xda-developers.com/inde...tion On How To Upgrade with Bootloader method
Should that work?
PS: what does the RUU value mean and why did it appear after my 2nd try?
Thanks in advance guys!
Have you tried contacting IMEI-check's support?
RUU is. IIRC, radio unit upgrade and it should not have appeared.
Don't flash the rom, you might need to send it back to orange / HTC and there is no official orange downloadable rom as yet so if the device boots to 'dopod' or whatever they'll know you've messed with it. If the key does not match sounds like the unlocking has screwed your imei. Does the IMEI the app now recognises match the one you paid for the unlock for or the one on the back of the unit/ box?
Richard
IMEI-check support:
The unlock has nothing to do with your device problem. You say yourself that it already turned on directly to 3 color screen after you switched it off (sometimes this happens due to problems in HTC flash driver). For a firmware flash you don't need Orange. You can do this on your computer at home.
Both the soft and the hard reset bring me back to the same 3 color screen..

I do not think it co-incidence that you are doing a flash operation ( unlocking) and now the device will not boot. It should reboot after unlocking according to their documentation and if it went to the tri-colour screen something was amiss after the unlocking then, quite possibly becuase of it. The unlock completed succesfully the first time then?
Don't flash the dopod rom, if the IMEI now has a mis-match you may need to send it back to orange for repair / reflashing. They will be able to tell if there is a dopod rom on there and may refuse warranty - I wouldn't mention the unlocking if I were you. There is no official orange rom you can try :-(
Richard
I do not have a receipt for the phone.. is the ROM at least the one I should try if I do try one?

In the UK at least you do not need a receipt for the phone - it is based on seriel number.
http://service.htceurope.com/
Once you have tried flashing the other roms they can tell you have been flashing it and may not give warranty service, but hopefully all it really needs is a rom anyway. My warning is just in case it is not the rom that is the issue and you need to send it back.
When you run imei-check's app now what IMEI does it give for the device?
Richard
Good question, I just checked and the IMEI in their tool gives me the same one as I wrote down before the operation. It is the same as on the box and as the one I payed for to get the key for and used the first time around.
I hoped the flash would solve my problems and I tried flashing the M600 with the ROM mentioned above. 100% completed and all looked good until the reboot.. Again it will not go further then the tri-color screen with the exception that the SPL version has changed:
IPL 2.10.0001
SPL 2.15.0001
Anything left to try?

Get back to IMEI-check and ask for more help? They may claim that the unit was faulty before unlocking but if so how could the unlocker run? Or try posting at www.modaco.com to see if anyone there has any ideas.
Which country was the device supplied in? Did you check the seriel in the link I gave? If it's from the UK you could send to a friend or collegue to return under warranty without paperwork ;-)
Sorry.
Richard
Well at least we made progress, a hard reset now let's the device boot but.. after I went through the settings I pressed start and it automaticly powered off.
I then inserted my T-Mobile simcard and rebooted again to find myself in the tri-color screen. Another hard reset once again let me reboot but during the boot of Windows Windows it says 'Data crashes. Please contact your service center.'
Where in the Netherlands do you live?
I have succesfully dopotted two M600 phones and I have had one repaired by Orange, for broken speaker. They did not seem to care that I flashed it to dopod.
I might be able to help you out on this one.
send me an e-mail on [email protected]
Thanks,

O, and I unlocked both also....

How did they try to unlock it?
Richard
hi
i couldn't speak to the guy who tried to unlock it, i spoke to his collegue and all he could say is that he tried to unlock by logs
now he couldn't tell me what did he use
i have tried to hard reset it but it comes back on that screen
:? :? :?
Try to load the no id DOPOD ROM.
This one will install when the M600 is in that 3 colour screen.
I did it and it worked for me.
I tried to CID unlock with a tool that contained a specific WARNING NOT TO USE for a certain ROM version, which of course I did anyway.
The warning was correct. My M600 was stuck.
By reflashing I resolved the problem.
You can always bring it back to Orange and claim that this happened after you've let the battery go dead; you did not get a chance to charge on your 1,5 month holiday ..........
Good luck!

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 !

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.

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.
Regards,
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,
- we can install any ROM of your choice (it only needs to exist)
- we also will unlock the device and you can install ANY ROM you life afterwards
- the device needs to be opnened to use some special hardware to access the flash chip directly
- shipping back to (UK/EU) with INSURED Royal Mail is apx. (7 GBP/15GBP) depends where you are located.

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:
art_tmouk_11311001_024990_wwe_ship.rar
I've press the comm manager button + power button + soft reset and my orbit it's enter in bootmanager mode so, i've install the TMobile UK rom (I was the O2 german rom...)

I have original HTC Advantage 7500 not branded with Spanish windows . After tried to update with English RUU my htc Advantage stuck in 3 colors boot-loader mode. Any resets(soft, hard, boot-loader) not help.
Than I find this suggestion here I tried it and it help:
I think you are not stuck in bootloader, I think you are stuck in the Flash
ROM utility which has colors and not just the Dopod logo with a black scree.
If this is the case, here it is what I did to solve this:
I downloaded ruu_athena_dopodasia_wwe_1.24.707.3_105_6275_1.32.
00.10_108_ship, which you already did.
Decompiled the RUU_signed.nbh contained inside
ruu_athena_dopodasia_wwe_1.24.707.3_105_6275_1.32. 00.10_108_ship with
dutty's good NBH tool found at: http://forum.xda-
developers.com/showthread.php?t=296316 then I created a new RUU_signed.nbh
with the same files but it didn't allowed me to insert some items like the
SIRFBootLoader.nb and some others, so I started executed the
ROMUpdateUtility.exe again and it stopped again at 1% but with a different
error "Corrupted ROM Image" and suddenly! My device was taken out of the
Flash Utility to see the bootloader screen again! Wow! What a relief!
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
this is done!
after that my Spanish OS reloaded and I can to do ActiveSync with PC - Than I find the suggestion in this thread how to flash any ROM to CID locked and I tried it and after 5 min connecting error occurred . After hard resetting after this "update", after the HTC boot screen I just get a white screen. The HTC does make a sound as if it's working and BT and WiFi leds blink. When device connected to PC the HTC does make a sound as if it's working, but the ActiveSync with PC not work, it write that can't to connect to mobile device. And I just can't see anything just white screen.
I can't find Spanish HTC Advantage 7500 not branded RUU in all World.
So I need cid unlock without ActiveSync - from bootloader?!
Please help(I also ready to help - I will send donate).

Warranty got back my device back to life
Hi I bricked my device a few days back and tried all the stuff to bring it back to lifee but in vain... I finally gave up my trials and approached the service centre. They just replaced the motherboard inside and luckily everything seems fine now. They hadn't charged me anything as it was within warranty. Anyone in India if you need service centre address..

Now I think that the reason of non flashing, even with official RUU, could be corrupted CID-block after using HardSPL on devices with low IPL/SPL. I've read thread about similar problem with Wizard. The question is: how to restore the CID block in our bricked devices? I'm not even sure if this theory with CID-block is a reason...
What do you think about such a trick:
- Run RUU on someone's working HTC device but only until the moment, when it wants you to click the last button to finally proceed with flashing. (This step is to let RUU to know that this RUU is correctly dedicated to our device). It's a kind of fake for RUU, cause our CID doesn't match the CID of ROM included in RUU.
- Next disconnect working device from the USB and connect your bricked device with launched bootloader mode
- Next click the final button to launch flashing in RUU application. If the process of CID matching was done before this step, the flasher should start and let us flash our bricked device. But I'm sceptic to this solution. If it was so trivial, everyone could flash his device with different ROMs so easy...
I can't try this trick cause I don't have working HTC. What do you think? Will it work or not?

D'you mean
working Herald or any HTC?
I have the same prob
I'm thinking about working device, exactly the same as this bricked one - in this case Herald. But all of this is only a theory. I don't have enough knowledge about the RUU flashing process.
My another idea is to swap only ROMUpdateUtility.exe, rapitool.exe and EnterBootloader.exe files from official RUU dedicated to your bricked device, with different versions of these files from another HTC devices just to test if it helps to recognize our bricked devices by RUU. Maybe the problem is wrong version of these files? But which versions are correct?
I'm just trying to find a solution to unbrick our f.....g Heralds . I know this is only a matter of time and soon or later we will know what to do. Moreover I believe that there are people, even on this forum, who know how to unbrick our Heralds but some of them don't want to do us a favour. I know what I'm talking about...

Welcome to the club...
As far as I know, SD flashing doesn't work because of the CID-lock.

no, it cant be possible! im not goin to pay HTC Herald
there's a solution, a HOPE... (u try to flash with original flashfile?)
I thinks the solution is to unlock CID from bootloader mode, for old models i did so, but how to unlock Herald's CID
I have got hold of a T-Mobile Ameo that's gone wrong whilst upgrading/unlocking, I believe they were using the Olipro way (which I've successfully done fine myself in the past) and it's now stuck in the multi colour bootloader screen which displays:
ATHE100
IPL-v2.02
ATHE100
SPL-v1.10.RP00
And although it shows USB when plugging it in to a computer it won't connect to ActiveSync so I can't get to the stage where I can re-flash it.
I have tried the hard reset by holding down the volume and pressing the reset hole, and I get to the prompt:
Press ACTION to restore factory default
Press Camera Key to exit
I then press the little nipple button down and it displays:
Restore default complete
Press Power Key to boot
Press CommManager Key to format micro drive
I press the Power Key and I'm back in the multi colour boot loader back where I started, and I canot connect to ActiveSync to reflash.
Any help to turn this paper weight back into a useful device would be appreciated...
exactly the same problem here.
any guru with a solution ?

Hi seckt0r,
have you tried reflashing the original rom for your device while connected to your computer in bootloader? ftp://ftp.xda-developers.com/Athena/Shipped_Complete_Updates/
another idea would be to try sd card flashing,(see the wiki) but you would need to extract an image from the flash utility.
One thing to note is you couldn't flash any of the newer roms as you are probably not unlocked
lakeman,
Thanks for the tips and sorry for the late reply.
I did figured out how to make it work again, and played a lot with the device
Already delivered back to the 'client'...
Active Sync issue is solved !!!
Active Sync 4.5 had changed the way it connects from USB Serial Sync Mode to RNDIS Sync Mode. So it can cause problems in connecting with PPC. Try install on your PPC the "ActiveSyncMode.sa.CAB" that you can easily find on Google & run it. Hope this might help.

Can you post what is written on the bootloader screen?This will help define what rom you need to flash.
thanks lakeman
my bootloader tri color screen shows
I hv a new htc Athena (ameo t mobile uk locked).
I was trying Athena unlocker by olipro. I hv used this on a number of occasions and no problems.
With the present one it was on rom 1.12 tmobile uk and while doing Athena unlocker it crashed on first step.
In bootloader mode it shows
Athe100
Ipl-v1.00
Athe100
Spl-v1.10. RP00
It keeps giving invalid vendor id error 294 when I try to flash tmobile original rom
I have read olipro message who say that I can only repair this via pdocwrite. Apparently it’s the spl that’s corrupt so I need to repair this.
I will be very happy if u can help me with a step by step guide to repair the spl using pdocwrite or rswrite to change vender id.
I am using windows xp or windows 7 and I hv tried mtty and I can successfully connect to Athena and do info 2
It shows level=ff ie it is still locked cid.
Wdata also seems to work but even after password says pass I do not really know how to change the device id or vender id
Device id shows HTCS Þ?ÒtHTCE
I am told y olipro that this device id or spl can only be repaired via pdocwrite.
How can I do it..
Pls help me u can email me on [email protected] or hotmail.com and can add me so u can please provide me with a step by step guide repair my athena ameo
