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.

Dear all
i just have regitered over here after i tried alot with shop's over here to change the language of my T mobile MDA from GER to ENG
i searched all the forum to find out where i can get ENG ROM and the correct way to falsh it with USB cable ... am not expert to flash it in bootloader mode
Can any one help me please out here ?
Thanks in advance for all
http://lumpistefan.dyndns.org/ - all versions, languages + couple of nice progs that can be optionally included straight in ROM - make your RAM free! :lol:
Thanks alot bob190cm but am looking for the orginal latest version for my PDA
Thanks man for your effort
tmobile's uk site would prob be a good place to start looking
2 sunpower:
Actually, if you unmark "Add software and modify ROM" option, you get the original ROM - 4.01.16 ENG is the official T-Mobile release of WM2003...
Man i downloaded the 2003 ROM and tries to upgrade my PDA but it killed it ... ActviSyn does not recognize it any more
what do i have to do now do i have to try the bootloader way ?
if yes what do i need to do it and how ?
Have a look around that forum.
Now I can tell you this: activesync will not recognize it - simply try running the update again. If doesn't help - see forum for exact instructions how to run the SD update.
PS: what actually happened?
I made a 2003 rom for my XDA I T mobile device i tried to upgraded it but it hangs up and a mseege appared asking me to soft rest my device and try the operation again ... now ActiveSyn not connecting to the device and i dont have an SD my Bootloader is 5.25 is this loader is bad ?
Please advice.
Thanks
i forgot to ask you what is soft reset and hard reset ?

A softreset is a restart of your device. You do it by putting your stick in the little hole down on the left side.
A hardreset performs a blank installation of the System stored in your Rom. All applications an data installed will be lost. You can do this by unsrewing your stick, putting the top in the little hole down on the right side, wait for about 60 sek. and do this again....

You guys are wonderfull :lol: i got my XDA back by bootloader method .....
I tried upgrading for the first time. I picked Windows Mobile 2003 Second Edition (3.04) from the following link:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=ROMVersions
The upgrade was successful however my wallaby freezes at the ozup. I can reach the bootloader if I hold the power button and soft reset.
I do not have a backup of my rom image (it was initially T-Mobile PPC2002 3.14.40_ENG)
Which rom image should I use with the XDAtools to flash back? Where can I get that rom?
Please advise.
You could try the 4.01.12 ROM IMage, but the problem can still exist. There have been a few devices, that are just working with PPC2002.
If you really have such a device i would suggest the 3.17.03 ROM....

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.
Regards,
IMEI-CHECK Team
-----------------------------------------------
Thanks for your fast answer!
Yes it's an original phone, a brand new O2 Xda ORBIT, in box

Thomas

Hello,
the language is important. Is it UK version?
Regards,
IMEI-CHECK Team
-----------------------------------------------
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.
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.
Regards,
IMEI-CHECK Team
---------------------------------------------------------
ok thank you,
but will you be able to flash an O2 Xda Orbit with the french ROM that comes with the (Artemis) HTC P3300 sold in France ? this is exactly the same machine.
Regards
---------------------------------------------------------
Hello,
yes we can flash ANY available ROM to it.
Regards,
IMEI-CHECK Team
----------------------------------------------------------
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:
art_tmouk_11311001_024990_wwe_ship.rar

Hello,
I have flashed my MDA Vario with a WM6 rom dutch witch worked fine. After i changed my pagepool to 6 MB and soft rebooted my MDA, it stared, but without phone functionalty. every program i try to start it gives me the message that it has no memmory to start the program.
No activesync connection (or any other connection) can be established. I have found some articles on flashing xda pda's from sd card. But in these articles they talk about .NBH files. The only file i can find in the update util is an .NBF file. Can anyone help me solving this issue?
TNX in advance
Try bootloader mode?

Can you get into bootloader mode (tricolor RGB bands)? ("Get your phone in bootloader mode by doing this: Phone powered off, press Camera button + Power On, will enter into bootloader mode (RGB screen").
Once in bootloader mode you can reflash even though activesync says not connected - just look for little USB in corner of screen.
Tnx cushcalc for your reply.
I have tryed it just a minute ago. I can enter the boot loader but the flashing fails at starting with the message "This update utility cannot be used for your PDA Phone. Please get newer update utility". I have used the same flash tool as the rom image witch is now on the MDA.
Sounds more like CID locked after flashing the last ROM was flashed....cant u even flash any other wm6 ROM?
You should flash the original T. Mobile ROM from bootloader it should work. After you have the original running you can then re-flash WM6 using shelltool if your phone is CID locked. Try it and lets see how it goes.
You people are the greatest. I have tryed to flash my MDA Vario with the latest rom from t-mobile and now i have a fully functional mda again. BIG TNX for helping!!!
help me to break & solve this problem, maybe can also help the other members..
I tried to upgrade my XDA to WM2003SE everything goes right,
bootloader first time i still use v5.22
but when I soft reboot it freezes on the OZUP screen and
message ONLY FOR MICROSOFT bla bla bla....
i get this ROM from http://www.romkitchen.de/ ==> WM2003SE
then downgrade bootloader from v5.22 to v5.15,
using MMC (flash SD) continue to special rom 1.2,
and then cooked again using PC2002 by my own creation based from
romkitchen, what i want to ask is :
i cannot connect again via dekstop activesyn if i want to change
my ROM because my cradle cannot detect my charger?? but if i charge
directly, its work. What is the problem?
is my cradle/dekstop broken at the charger socket?
so what i need to do? just change the wire or socket or
i use the step like at http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=WallabyCradleMod
if i prefer use the 2nd method, is that really OK? so just used cradle/deskstop, no need
power charger again if i want to change ROM to WM2003SE, because only can use via activesync?
after i change bootloader to v5.15, keep trying to change but only can via Flash SD Card,
i change to WM 2003 final, still same problem....after finish, only screen cannot enter the
menu or else, only boot screen until i am waiting for 15 minutes??? then change again to
WM2003 but using from http://www.romkitchen.de/tools, still same again....boot screen again...
