hi i am a german guy and i need some help!!!
i have the german o2 xda1
and i want to unlock it with the xda manipulator!!!
is this possible????????
regards
Sasnak

Hi ...
Try this link first www.xda-developers.com\XDAunlock\
Good luck ...

i have do it but it comes the notic "error getting unlock code"
what shell i do???

in this case u have to flash your XDA with a cooked ROM 3.17 from the kitchen at www.yorch.net. cook the ROM as exe file and it will unlock your device with the first boot.
if this doesn't work, then you have to cook the ROM as .nb1 file and use SD card to flash your XDA.
Good luck

Hi,
if you do have a serial cable for the XDA and you don't want to have an english rom use it with the xda-manipulator. It works fine without cooking some kind of rom.
Greetings Kaputter :shock:
P.S.: USB-Cable won't work with xda-manipulator

Yes thanks it woks!!!!
now i have an english rom on my xda but i wont my german version!!!
i wont to upgrade in the german version again but there comes the notic "can not find rom picture"
PLEASE HELP

Orbit ROM

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.

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!!!!

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).
Regards,
IMEI-CHECK Team

thanks to all.

I Had The Sam Problem
HOW DID YOU DO IT MANNN??? I have tried to do this with a tmouk ROM but I always have the same error. WHAT IS THE CATCH????

It is posible only if your Device is CID unlocked ... If not ... only service or imei-check...

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

O2 XDA Terra does not start anymore.

Hey All,
this is my first post,... and I don't know what to do anymore,... i am trying to solve this problem for days!!!
My XDA Terra (HTX Herald) does not start anymore,.. it freezes on the O2 Logo.
I tried to hardreset but same problem here,... what i need is the RUU from O2 but there is no Support Page for the terra on the O2's Homepage in germany,...
i also can't find a working RUU,.. already tryed the HTC standard and many others but it stops at 2 % and i get a error saying: Invalid Vendor ID ,... reason for this must be the CID ,...
so is there any way to remove the CID Lock from bootstatus,.. i already tried hardspl and softspl but they don't detect my phone, since there is no activesync conenction possible,...
does anyone know where to find the O2 XDA Terra RUU or how to install another ROM from bootmenu although there is a CID LOCK,...
please help me ,... i am really frustated,...
Thanks in Advance
SoulChild

Can you tell me why your terra freezes? Did you try to flash it? Because if not, you can send it in for repair (on warranty of course)...
But if you tried to flash it, I would say your phone is broken! No way to get it back to life, until o2 releases an original RUU!
Greetz C

Damn,
what if i tell them i just installed software and it broke,...
could they find out, that i've tried to flash it ?

You should send it to O2, if you're lucky, it will be free.

this might be a long shot... when i bricked my wing trying to flash touch-it v2.3, i revived it with canonyang hard-spl... i have no clue why it worked, but if you have no other choice its worth a shot

English ROM for German Orbit 2?

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:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=368123&page=8
This is the file you need:
ftp://xda:[email protected]_radio_sign_25.65.30.04_1.58.21.23_Ship.exe

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".
What else do I need?
Thank you in advance for your help.

Thank you so much fktsndr:
I am successful in converting German O2 XDA Orbit 2 to English.
I used "Hard-SPL-V2.zip" from your given link and "RUU_Polaris_HTC_WWE_1.25.405.1_radio_sign_25.65.3 0.04_1.58.21.23_Ship.exe" as English rom.
Only TomTom was gone and is not working after new installation as advised in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=1929057
but now my GPS device is not giving any signals.
