How to unlock & install a new ROM (Newbie question)

Hi, this is my first post here, and im a newbie in this matters and hope you can help me. I have an Artemis and i would like to install a new ROM with WM6 (possibily the B&B v4.0) but i donst know how. The ROM in my Artemis is the Portuguese one, operator free. I have 3 top questions:
1- To install the new ROM i need to unlock my Artemis because the language is diferent, or its only necessary to do that if its blocked to an operator (carrier)?
2- How to install the ROM itself?
2- How can i make a backup of my ROM, in case of anithing goes wrong?
Thank you for your help.

First things first. In order to be successful in flashing ROMs you must do a lot a reading. The links below my signature are a good start. Read about the Artemis first, read a lot. Read the WIKI. Search the threads....The answers to all of your questions have already been answered somewhere here in this forum.

HTC ELF0100 in French, would like to switch to English

Hey all,
I'm a newbie to cell phone mods, the question has probably been asked before, I searched for a couple of days but cannot find how to switch OS (WM6 pro) to English.
The phone works with Canadian sim card, just have a hardtime with French version.
Could anyone point me in the right direction?
Do I need to install a new OS?
Read something somewhere about modifying Rom, but not excatly sure how to do that.
Any help would be appreciated.
I am located in Canada, HTC touch Elf comes from France.
Thx!
P.S
I have MSN & Skype, if that would be easier

Flashing you HTC Touch from French ROM to any other ROM
Hi,
If you understand French, follow the link below. It has everything you need to flash your Touch
http://win-mobile.forumpro.fr/htc-p3450-htc-touch-elf-f40/tuto-bien-flasher-son-touch-elf-et-elfin-t14638.htm

Had a French ROM when I bought my ELF, flashed to Blue Elves 5.0 without any problems, then went on to try other ROMs, just make sure you got the proper flashing procedure sorted - all in the WiKi.

I think the OP already stated they have a hard time with French.

dear can u help me to update my elfo100 to english rom when i update elfo100 then give error that invalid vendor id plz give me some useful and simple trick to do that image version is 2.27.164.2

gsmexpert1:
Please read the stickies in the rom section, or the elf wiki. These have your answer.
You'll want to CID unlock, dump your current rom etc, and flash a WWE rom (onyx etc.) Make sure you run DSIXDAs device_Info.bat so you know what you are dealing with easier, and also to make sure if it is genuine HTC.

A problem with my HTC HD2

Hello everyone, I just bought my HD2 yesterday
It's the best device I ever bought, but I encountered alittle problem that I need your guys' help with.
You see i'm from the middle-east, so in the applications menu, there is an application that could localize my phone and change everything into Arabic langauge, that's my problem, I need to change it back to fully english but I don't know how, I tried hard and soft reset, doesn't seem to work...
so please can anyone help me please? and thanks in advance.

You will need to download a WWE rom from the rom section of the forums.

Aha, so do I have to search for "WWE rom" without the need of the version? coz I have ver 1.66 now, and how do I install a rom?
if my questions are already answered I apologize, but I would like to get an answer please ^^

[Q] need wm 6.1 rom for my htc 3300!!!!!!

I have HTC P3300 and it came with WM6 with the following config.
ROM : 3.7.701.1 WWE
ROM date : 6/21/07
Radio : 02.69.90
Protocol : 4.1.13.30
ext Rom : 3.6.707.101
Now i want to upgrade it to WM6.1
I SEARCHED THRU MANY POSTS. i got so many answers to my questions but i have some fundamental questions and if anybody can answer that i will be really obliged.
1) I have vodafone India. Can i flash a ROM which is for another carrier. For eg. when I searched the thread "Artemis_Upgrades" I could not find any HTC WWE factory ROM which matched the above specs. BUT when i saw the factory ROM of DOPOD WM6. It matched the above specs perfectly.
so the basic question is if anything goes wrong in my upgrade then can I flash the DOPOD rom on my HTC
2) I have searched the forums but i could not find a valid factory WM6.1 ROM. If anybody can provide a link then it would be a great help to me. Please also specify which ROM (dopod or any other) is compatible to my HTC.
3) Once i get both the above factory ROMs (WM6 and WM6.1) i will be flashing my HTC and the steps that i would follow is as mentioned in this post
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=401814
1) soft -reset using the USPL
2) flashing the ROM.
Please let me know if I need to do anything other than this!
Thank you in advance.

I suggest reading through this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=870041

pmsl neo, loving the xda spirit hahaa

follow the link that neo gave you and flash your p3300 with uspl1.11.cmon.
you cant go wrong if you follow the steps on my thread in post 1.
(post 1... here...)
if it does not work, or if you have any questions, just message me, im always here to help.
*do not try anything untill you have sucessfully done uspl1.11.cmon.
Sooo.. the point im trying to make is: you wont even need the original/official rom once you have got uspl1.11.cmon installed.
eg, if you flash a rom and it goes wrong, uspl1.11.cmon will let you flash ANY rom, so the original/official rom is not even needed!
Rn
i know i said it before but ill say it again: im always here to help

And that's that.

[Q]Questions about ROM

You can search this site or use another more basic site. Try this: www.ajudandroid.com.br/2011/11/cyanogenmod-tezet-para-milestone-2.html
If you have to do a restore of the original system, then you need Windows programs (www.appunix.com.br/howto/linux/goog...icar-osreload-de-rom-original-do-motorola-m2/) or use the sbf_flash for Linux (search google).
If you upgraded from the site of Motorola (2.3.6), you are with the new European GB Kernel. Your choices are more restrictive to put custom ROM's. Again, do a search on the site that is packed with information you need to know.
But most importantly, read, read and read all instructions and follow all the steps. You can brick your Milestone unless you know what you're doing.
