Hello dear all,
Just bought a P3300 today. (I am a noob at these things) After talking to the salesperson, he ensured that I will be able to change the language to English, I bought it. I plugged in the charger and found out that the device is in French.
After downloading all upgrades possible from this site. I still can not change the ROM. Invalid Vendor ID. Some people say that I need to upgrade the bootloader.
Not sure if this can be done on the artemis, or perhaps there just isnt anyone who has done it yet. At least I cant find the information.
Tomorrow I have to go back to the store and fight about returning this unit.
My advise is, buy this device in the correct language from the beginning.
If someone knows how to change the ROM when this happens before tomorrow, I would appriciate it dearly.
Regards,
Johan
well, by flashing your device from French to English ROM (WWE) you will immediatelly invalidate your warranty. carefull now!
Just my 2cents...
I dont really care about the warranty.. All I wanted was my phone in English. I will be able to get a new phone, with the contract that I have got with my supplier. But you know how it is, you get a new toy, you want to play with it.
Why not have it exchanged with an English version?
I have same situation. How you find solution?
gee, here we go once again:
in order to be able to change the language on your device you MUST reflash with an english rom from a compatible device.
This though is only possible once your device is CID unlocked; a special security section in your device.
Only known way to do this is via http://www.imei-check.co.uk/c3unlock.php
and costs (apx. EUR 28.00 / USD 38.00).
After this unlocking you can flash the tmouk and dopod rom (all wwe) from the wiki. ( at least on all artemis and all hero)
If you do not cid unlock, you will get "wrong modelID"

good work,now we need only UNL code ....
The UNL File is unique for every IMEI and flashes only the Device that has this IMEI. The Unlocker for the Hermes was very well done, because some smart people reversed the process from imei-check.co.uk and wrote a working program, but so far i think noone is making real adavances in this matter, so if you desperately need your device CID Unlocked, only way for you is pay imei-check :/
for now.........
This is my first post so I hope the wolves will stay back. My post is for those of you who are new as I am. I bought the O2 Xda Orbit for Christmas and since it was my first PDA-, smart phone-, device, I did not realize that the language could not be changed until I got it home. After many calls to O2 both here in Germany and the UK, I tried my luck with HTC. HTC ofcourse, will not touch the phone since it is branded with the O2 logo. There are NO Orbits in Germany from O2 in the English language version. In desperation, I called Microsoft customer service and again met with a dead end although I was inpressed with the customer service person who desperately tried to help me. It was Microsoft that directed me to this site. I will try not to bore everyone with all the details, but here is what I found out.
You can not do ANYTHING with the phone until the "super lock" (aka CID lock) is "unlocked". I tried one of those cheap places that charge 7 pounds, and the numbers and methods they gave me do not work. (You get what you pay for.)
My advise to anyone who may be new to this and wants to proceed anyway, is to keep your nose to this forum. There is a website posted in this thread that recommends http://www.imei-check.co.uk/c3unlock.php. I plan on trying this site to unlock my phone and then the next step will be to wait for someone to develop a RUU for the Orbit or HTC 3300. This phone is new on the market and all the hacks and updates are just not there yet.
If the day comes that I feel brave, I plan on using the RUU named ARTE_DOPODAU_12570702_026990_WWE_SHIP also found on this site. I hooked it up to my Orbit and ran the program, but because the CID is not unlocked, I got the dreaded "INVALID MODEL ID" message.
In reading all the posts and following the threads, I know more about my phone than I ever thought was possible. The more you learn, the more you can weigh the risks versus the benefits, or what your chances are of success. This is now a hobby for me. I love reading about everyone else's "adventures" and I think there are valuable lessons to be learned in the trials of those who bravely go before us.
The only other option is for us all to pitch in and buy the phone for $599 from http://www.alibaba.com/catalog/11719610/Xda_Orbit_Brand_New_PDA.html. I think they are $399 if you buy 10. This is a great deal for those who's home country uses the Euro. This may be the source of all those "CID-unlocked" phones on Ebay! You have to ask yourself, where are these people getting these brand new phones, CID unlocked and in ENGLISH!
Should I crash my device, I am prepared to go to the HTC website and shell out the money for a device in English with TomTom and all the bells and whistles installed. It will be CID unlocked and I will have HTC behind me for customer service and be free to use my device to it's full potential. I will try to keep the newbies posted on my progress, but in the mean time, I will read the forum religiously everyday and learn as much as I can. Somebody out there has the ROM for my Orbit, and I know it's only a matter of time.....
Welcome to the forum KleineMaus. I honestly would like to congratulate you for not being one of those newcomers who don't introduce themselves and just post a question that has been asked a million times without first reading forum rules and searching, and expect an immediate answer.
Anyway, have fun here and hopefully we can all be of help.

Hi Kleine Maus,Did you manage to find any solution so far? I have bought a new HTC P3300 (I guess the same device gets called in 5 or 6 different ways) and with the Dutch OS I cannot do much with it! If anyone out there has any solution to bring this nice toy to communicate in good old English I would be very grateful indeed. Ciao, Siper

well guys first of all i'l like to thank u all for making all the good applications available to magician users,
Secondly, i'll thank the texas guy from russia to spend his time working on the 2.03tx rom (which i believe, is not an upgrade)
Finally i'd like to say it loud & clear to u guys who founded this forum & the site that
"I THINK U PEOPLE JUST DID NOT TRY TO CUSTOMIZE THE WM5 ROM FOR MAGICIAN BECAUSE U GUYS WERE FUNDED BY THE PARENT HTC COMPANY TO GET NEW MODELS SO THAT THEIR SALES DONT GET AFFECTED,
U ALL GOT FUNDED BY THE COMPANIES TO BY NEW PHONES WM PHONES AND A NEW MARKET TO DEVELOP APPLICATIONS FOR THEM, SO U ABANDANED THE GOOD OLD MAGICIAN,
AND IF IT ISENT SO THEN I'M SORRY TO SAY THAY THIS PROVES THAT U ARE FIT FOR NOTTING ASSHOLES WHO JUST GAVE IT UP WITH SILLY REASONS
IF MEMORY &HARDWARE R ISSUE THE LOOK AT I-MATE SMART FLIP WHICH HAS 64 MB ROM & RUNS WM5,
AT LEAST U SMART ASSES DIDNT EVEN TRY COMMON THINGS WHAT A SMALL HACKER CAN DO- "U DIDNT EVEN GIVE A TRANSFORMATION PACK LIKE THE ONE AVAILABLE FOR DESKTOP PC WITH WINDOWS XP TO CHANG IT TO VISTA LOOK ALIKE TRANSFORMATION PACK"
PLEASE DONT FOOL PEOPLE JUST FOR YOUR LACK OF INTREST
I don't think I understand your post, it seems you are calling the founders of this site "assholes" for not giving you WM5 for your Magician?
Hey .. why don't you learn and upgrade you're magician by yourself
I think there is only one A****** in this site
AHAHAHA OMG l0ol0ol they still coming after all this time ;p

Hmm...you are right, these people have been lying. I just clicked and followed this link sent to me by a friend, and now I'm the owner of a WM6 (not 5! it's soo much better) device! Try it out!
backend.htc.com/developers/magician/wm6/source/bin/nk.nb0
magician upgrade
hey guys if u r all genius who make wm6 rom for devices older than magician then, just tell me why the chinese made smartphones & pda's can run wm5/6 though there hardware is much more lower then magician, and why i said that u were funded by companies is, because i m not smart like u so one thing that i didnt get is why the reasons have been changing for NO WM5 FOR MAGICIAN from 1) lack of ram, then 2) lack of rom, to 3) no drivers & 4)nk.nbf problem AND SO ON, If rom was problem then this forum itself provides link for 64mb to 128mb & still no wm5, doesn't this all seems to be like som kind of lack of intrest, or too many coincedencs in the device, PLEASE dont TAKE IT PERSONALLY but to my other friend who also answered my post i would only say that if i were also genius ass like him, then i would'nt have been in the forum. One more thing is that why do so many people seems to be claiming that they have seen wm5 on magician,
magician wm5 bcoz
no i m not calling the founders of the forum assholes, i m just saying that that when jam 128mb=charmer or so they say then why cant a charmer rom be customized for magician. u r the most experiencd people in this community, but i get a feeling that u did not give it your best try due to other prospects

You make it sound as if it is an obligation for someone to provide you with something, tell you what, how about being productive and learn to customize at least the 2003SE OS (so you would know at least the feel on how difficult it is for rom cookers) and provide us with at least a customized version like taxist(not texas) has made for the magician instead of whining and bellowing obnoxious and disrespectful statements which would not in any way encourage or at the very least strike an interest for any person to develop ROMS for the magician.
Whatever reasons they may have for not developing further may include other personal reasons other than your far fetched conspiracy theory, and if you cant contribute something which has the slightest merit in this forum then i say, shut up and respect them dumbass!
yeah! we need wm5 or wm6/6.1

With all this in mind: Can someone point me to where I can find a 'kitchen' to cook my Magician ROMs? I've searched the threads with no success.
Stop bad language for Magician
Come on, guys! please stop using bad language because you just can't get what you want from this forum. Everyone even tries to offer freebies. No WM5/WM6/WM6.1 for you because failure in trying. Try but faill. Try and fail. Last but not least, try by yourself. If you, Magician owners, succeed at even attempting to create WM5/WM6/WM6.1 Magician ROMs, that would be great. Thank god you truly did it.
please stop fighting and behave like sensible forum members.
Thanks
Just wondering, this is the HTC Sable forum, yet it's been taken over by unrelated phone posts.. TONS of them..
I come here from time to time looking for info for my iPAQ 6945, and every visit, there's more and more off-topic stuff here, and it makes it harder and harder to find Sable-related posts.. Why is this?
Eric
Beacuse both 91x and 61x owners are here
e.g. I have bricked my 914c while flashing with a 614c ROM My mistake...but think about it...
well once upon time when 61x/91x is out people thought it is also manufactored by HTC so they start dicussing it here. Eventually people figured out it is not made by HTC but there are already several threads about the tools and roms for them so the trend just continue. At some point there is also post in the "Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking" forum but gradually people just post here as it is easier to find info about 61x/91x here.
So not much can be done..there are several options:
1. keep it here
2. move all 61x/91x post to "Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking"
3. move to other site
given we have 4+1 roms here, move will only work if all rom chef agree on that..

Hey Shep/Eric,
Sorry for the 61x/91x busy-ness going on here! But please don't move us, we'd have no where else to go. Well, maybe there'd be other places to go, but xda is my favourite! I used to have two HTC devices, but was scared about making the move to an Ipaq because I wasn't sure I'd ever be able to drop custom roms on my phone ever again. But when I found out xda had this sub-forum for "Sable" devices, I was overjoyed, and continue to be now that keyes, benjaminries, montecristo, and anyone else I missed, have continued to provide awesome support for our devices!
How about we all just consider ourselves part of the Sable family, with the 61x and 91x devices considered Sable offspring? xda is hands down the best forum in the world for our devices!
Honestly, there is very little anything these days about the older iPaqs. This forum would be pretty dead if it didn't become used for the newer HP models .
The bottom line is while clearly the 61xc and the 91xc phones aren't htc phones nor Sables, I don't see that any harm is being done by discussing them here .
What about me? I think there's no one expert ROM care or enable to make WM OS ROM Upgrade for my device hp iPAQ h6365/h63xx abandon in here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=497826 Poor of my device ... !

I hear you, it just seems weird there's no dedicated forum (here on xda-developers, I'm not saying leave the site, sheesh! )
I've had my 6945 for 2 years I think. I still like it, but I wish there was a ROM update for it. That's one of the main reasons I check here from time to time. What exactly is needed for a WM6/6.1/6.5 ROM for us? I keep seeing stuff about 'we need a full rom', etc. Certainly this could be had by now, with all the other WM6.x phones on the market, no?
I'll start a new thread with my current problem though, no one will be looking here for it.
Eric
Okay great thanks Shep! lol
Maybe if you make a request thread, someone may be able to work on it for ya...I'm sure you're not the only one!

Yeah, we're always hope to not being alone in this forum, including me!
we're very grateful that xda-developers have been extremely kind.
xda-dev have been so helpful in every way not just to xda/htc users but TO ALL Pocket PC users of all brands!
This site is such an asset to Microsoft and to the Pocket PC world, that the contributors here should be rewarded/donated by these companies in the millions of dollars, I think! Because so many of the faults and problems created by them (unintentionally of course) have been so generously repaired, fixed, mended etc by the selfless contributors here.
Hope you can extend this generosity to us other users with not enough numbers to start a meaningful site such us the ipaq users.
thank you so much.

We al saw it coming, at first I was pissed, but when you really think about it, There is no helpfor Sable / Beetles users. Although this thread is overrun by newer hp models, In all actuality, what harm is this doing to the Sables Owners.
