Hello everyone,
I have on order a o2 xda neo, I was told by the salesman that
the manual and os were in english.
I have now found out that the neo is a german version of the
i mate jamin. I feel very stupid.
What does this mean in real life terms? Will it have a german
interface that I can't read? will I have to flash the os?
anyone?
thanks,
Chance
O2 XDA Neo
Hi.
I have O2 XDA Neo too, it's one week now. It's from Germany so everything was completely german. I flashed the RUU_Prophet_2151327_21513121_021921_DOP_ASIA_WWE_Ship-NoVendorID.zip from here, it's english version.
But first, try to search for english localization of WM5. I you won't find it then flash the new ROM. The problem is, there is no solution to go back to O2 German ROM nowadays for IPL, SPL version 2.15.0001. You will surely get the new version. But in month or two, there will be tool to unlock the phone to be able to flash lower versions of ROMs. Read the forum, it's priceless source of information.
Thank you Median for your reply, I have heard many horror
stories about flashing ROM,but if I have to I will, So what your saying is
the ROM on the OS is different from the WM5 and that I have to flash both.
I appreciateyou taking the trouble to answer me.

The file is the Dopod's ROM, it's newer version then O2's and includes english WM5. Flashing was abslolutely no problem on my Neo. It takes about 10-15 mins to flash. Some say 30 mins, but for me it was quick. And the best thing you can do when flashing ROM - don't watch it, it doesn't like it. You know, it's intimate time for the device

1) Do you have to CID unlock your Prophet before flashing to the Dopod Rom?
2) What was your SPL / IPL prior to flashing?
3) Does flashing change your SPL / IPL?
4) I have Orange SPV M600 with IPL 2.10.0001 / SPL 2.10.0001 and someone told me that i need to CID unlock first to be able to flash ROMs.
Is this true?
5) Also i do not see the M600 original ROM available for download, how do i go back to orange ROM if need be? Will it be possible if orange made their ROM available for download?
Pls help.
I've just flashed my O2 Neo bought in Germany, ver. 2.09.0001. I used the ROM available in the forum,
RUU_Prophet_2151327_21513121_021921_DOP_ASIA_WWE_Ship-NoVendorID
and it worked FINE. GREAT! I bought the telephone unlocked in Germany from O2, didn't needed to unlock CID. My GSM card from my brazil operator worked fine. Wifi too.
Thanks, I will try the Portuguese ROM now.
I have a question, if I flash the O2 neo to english version, the home-zone function will be lost or not?
It will be Lost but u can install the homezone needed files from the ext.rom afterwards. These Files should be available on the ftp Server.
AND:
I did also upgrade my German O2-XDA NEO to the mentioned Dopod rom - And you can also go back to the (older) Neo Rom later.
I do not know why but it is possible to downgrade from Dopod to the newest O2 rom, maybe because both are 2.15.x.x.?!

Wlan affected by new rom ?
Hello.
I own a german MDA compact 3 - without wlan.
Now I have two questions :
a) does your MDA have Wlan ?
Does it work ?
b) If you flash another rom,
is the wlan affected ?
Regards,
Karlheinz aka forgotten_soul
@forgottensoul,
i flashed my hero(no wlan module) with the orig dopod p800w rom from the wiki a couple of weeks ago. ..and no, sorry to say, but even though the p800w software comes with all thats needed for wlan, wlan does not work once i flashed it.

At the moment I can only give you an answer to your first question: Yes, in the Netherlands the MDA Compact III is sold with a working Wlan.
The second question is a little bit more difficult for me to answer. I am waiting until someone in this thread confirms that it is possible to flash alternative ROM's, preferably HTC ROM's, into the device. At the moment I have a phone with the OS in the Dutch language but I prefer an English one.

sorry for the pun, but seems reading is a little difficult for some too!
i am running a rom from a vendour manufacturing a machine with wlan, as i stated a message earlier! there is no wlan possible with it! in addition there is a thread in this forum where a hero has been opened and a wlan module could not be found! how much longer do you want to wait till your horse can fly?
and once more, once you cid-unlock your machine, you can install all compatible roms from other manufacturers, i.e. a wwe rom (english) to a german machine!

All, after reading all published threads on this forum and following all described instructions I still have problem with uploading new ROM to my XDA Orbit.
I unlocked my new XDA Orbit with Imei-ckeck.co.uk in order to be able to flash another ROM on my device. Everything went smoothly and the unclocking process was completed successfuly. The problem is that my equipment still doesn't accept another ROM, getting the same error message (INVALID MODEL ID) during the uploading process as before the CID was unlocked. So, I don't see any difference here after unlocking my XDA. Can you please help me to find out where the problem is, what I'm doing wrong?
Details:
My Equip.:
O2 XDA Orbit
ROM-version: 1.25.207.1 GER
ExtROM: 1.25.207.101
I'm trying to upload the new HTC Artemis, ROM-version: 1.12.405.1 WWE, ExtROM: 1.12.405.101 published on this web
Thanks in advance for all your inputs.
quite simple,
the roms you are trying to install are test-roms, just as the full name states it on the wiki.(afaik diffrent bootloader)
use the tmouk or the dopod rom and you are off in a zip with an english rom from either tmobile or the dopod p800w( by the way the rom i prefer- by far faster working than the earlier tmobile roms!!!)
greetz
Thanks Thormdac!
Does it mean I cannot use the standard HTC ROM, never? or is there any way how to change the bootloader? If I would upload the mentioned Dopod ROM, would that support my WLAN which is now working properly? I would rather use the O2 WWE version, but cannot find it anywhere.
Thanks again, you're very helpful!
i havent seen any other orig rom updates then the ones from tmouk and dopod. since the dopd p800w originally comes with wlan it should work on your wlan equipped machine. on my hero it doesnt cause it doesnt have wlan chip onboard.
we`ll have to see about other e.g. htc roms, but definitely are the test!!! roms not working
I've tried the recommended Dopod rom version, but got the same error message (Invalid model ID). Have no ideal where the problem is.
dont know then, contact imei check and /or rerun the unlock routine
what about tmouk rom. works all fine by me, dopod and tmouk!
yep, I know, I did...see my first post. I think I did everything exactly as described here, but still it doesn't work.
I can try the Tmouk rom wwe, but I am not sure whether it supports my wlan.
Is there anything else in the process I've overlooked? Has anyone else tried to change rom in O2 Orbit?
i'm also wondering about the difficulty and sheer viability of this rom change, cause i only have the option of purchasing a german orbit, but definitely would need an english rom with wifi
Is it possible that some "smart" person who owns an Orbit (UK model) extracts its ROM and makes is possible to load it to another Orbit in Bootloader mode?
Or can someone tell me how to clear the CID in Bootloader mode, so I can flash my Orbit with a Dopod or p3300 rom.
FYI: My Orbit can only boot on Bootloader mode because I was stupud to flas it with the PDAMobiz rom.....
Gr.
M.
U can make your Artemis(orbit) superCID only with IMEICHECK.co.uk for 20GBP. But u can flash there tmouk rom i guess even if its still cid locked. this rom is in one of threads arte-unlock,upgrade. BTW ibet u tryied pdamobiz customized. Im I right? this one ****ing rom has some big troubles, try lite or powermap version
Υes i agree... Try Lite or PowerMap Version... The customized is not working at least at most of us... For the T-mobile ROM search this thread
I know about Imei-check solution, but it can only be done when your Orbit/Artemis functional. Mine isn't. Is stops/hangs at het splashscreen.
My only hope is when either Imei-ckeck or some other programmers software can do its job in the Bootloader menu.
Or O2 UK / Germany has to release a Rom specific for the Orbit so that you do'nt get the message "bad vendor-id"
BTW I messed my Orbit up with the Powermap rom...
try tmouk rom. it might work even w/o ur pda beeing SuperCID. Better try first. It works directly from bootloader
Thanks for the advice, tried it, but after 3% it says "invalid vendor -id".
I've heard that there's a dopod test-rom out there that does'nt verify the vendor id. Who knows where to download it???
Or can I use a "cracked" ROMUpdateUtility.exe?? Is it already out there??
did U use this one:art_tmouk_11311001_024990_wwe_ship?
yes thats the one. I used:
ARTE_DOPODAU_12570702_026990_WWE_SHIP.exe
art_tmouk_11311001_024990_wwe_ship.exe
ART_HTCWWE_11240501_026790_WWE_Test.exe
So I guess only one thing U can do is to send it to Imeicheck, they'll use jtag. or try 2 wait untill there will any free solution
Hi Guys,
I am just waiting for my German Orbit to arrive and I would like to switch to English ROM as soon as possible. I cannot find any more the FTP site with all the rom stored in, can you give me an hint on where to find such English ROMS for the Orbit?
Thanks a lot for your support.

Hi ...
If you had unlocked your Device with IEMI Check, and everything was fine, and you sure that your device is now CID unlocked, than try T-Mobile original ROM (should help) IF not? So ... Welcome Here
Cheers...
I supposte that the only way is find the original O2 GERMAN rom, anyone have it?
I'm stupid, stupid, stupid!!!!
do what j0kkk3r propose, find tmouk_shipped rom and try that one. it helped me

That's strange... I thought that you should be able to flash any ROM after unlocking, not just the original German one. Maybe something went wrong during unlocking? I suggest that you send an email to those guys from imei-check, maybe they can offer you a solution.

I've just sent email to imei support, look:
Hello,
you only can get it back to life with an O2-XDA-German-ROM (which odes not exist right now).
The other option is to send the device to repair (service centre).
The unlocker can NOT work in case your device has a malfunction (it is described in DETAIL that the unlocker requires a working ActiveSync connection on the our web site where you purchase the unlock).

IMEI-CHECK Team

I apologize for you. My orbit was originary German and locked, so I'm unlocked it with imeicheck utility, so I was installed a HTC wwe ship rom. And yesterday I has a problem with powermap rom. Now I've solved with TMobile rom, I don't know if working because my Orbit was CID unlocked (I belive no, because if now i try to install htc wwe ship rom I've wrond ID error message..) Do you have try to install via bootloader mode? enter in bootloader, so double click on tmobile rom.
bye
2 jokkk3r im using dopod shipped, im quite happy. its +-new dev. it'll take some time till here will be some roms or at least tools for cooking them.but most im waiting for is extrom unlocker like is for universal,thar U can use it like a storage
Hi all,
I am SO eager to buy an O2 XDA Orbit 2 from Germany but I am kinda a bit too uneasy...
I will need to re-flash an English ROM to it. Either O2 UK's or HTC Touch Cruise's.
Does anyone know for sure that it can be done by simply re-flashing the ROM? No extra hacks needed?
And are these English ROMs available on the net yet?
Thanks a whole lot to all the gurus here in advance!
This is the info you need:

Thanks a lot!
Sorry, there is too much said in that thread, I don't think I'll find the answer to this one:
"Does anyone know for sure that it can be done by simply re-flashing the ROM? No extra hacks needed?"
I mean that I used to re-flash ROM upgrades to my Atom Life "just like that".
What if this ROM doesn't accept the Device ID of the German Orbit 2?
A number of users have flashed this rom on orbit II after hard spl and seems to be working fine. but i suggest you spend a couple of minutes going over the thread in any case. it's always useful.
do hardspl from olipro the geatest.
flash ROM
UR now fully WWE
PS: backup UR cab files from original rom first (operator settings....) they are in \windows\ - Polaris doesnt have extRom.
Apparently it seems that you will have to hard SPL to flash. But is is quite simple, so don't worry ;-)
(sorry, dupe of phsnake's post above. He beat me by 2 minutes ;-0 )

Don't worry, mate, I did just that two days ago. I had bought an XDA Orbit2 from O2 Germany and I hated the German ROM (actually I hate localized software even though English is not my mother tongue).
So what you do is really simple and there is no chance anything to go wrong:
1) Install HardSPL from olipro (you can find it in this forum somewhere)
2) Install the official (not the dumped one) WWE (World Wide English) ROM from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=368123
And that's it! Enjoy a "native" interface!
Later on you will be able to upgrade to any ROM by simply installing it over the previous one. The HardSPL step you do only once
O2 XDA Orbit II : cannot overwrite WWE on German, wrong vendor ID
Hi ingenious,
I need to use my XDA device in English as my German is too poor to be able to use German softwares.
I've tried steps you have described but still I am unable to write Polaris WWE on my O2 XDA Orbit II device. Can you help me?
Please give me your number at [email protected] so I could call you back for step by step guidance.
Where do you live in Saarbrücken? I've also studied in Uni SB 2002-2005 and now I live in Berlin.
I have all the files download from this forum, whoever has said something about download .
Also I have "Hard-SPL" , "Hard-SPL-V7" and "RUU_Polaris_HTC_WWE_1.25.405.1_radio_sign_25.65.30.04_1.58.21.23_Ship.exe".
