Hello,
I own original Artemis P3300 from HTC with locked CID, so I'm not able to install other ROM than original from HTC. Today I try to intsall "PDAMobiz_Dopod_P800W_AKU301_v1.1.2_PowerMap" ROM and I leave it. After aprox. 25 minutes I did soft reset and I was very surprised. Despite CID lock new ROM booted. New system is very nice and more more fast than original HTC ROM and has good software base against original HTC ROM. Is it possible over CID lock? Have someone similar experience? It works really and I don't understandt, but I'm very happy. No money lost and cool ROM is on

Sorry about my English, I'm from Czech Republic.
Wow ... that is isteresting. I have also tried several ROMs, as I have Russian on my P3300 and want english, and above all my device is also CID locked.
You sure that yours was locked, cause if so I will also try then to flash this ROM, but few questions:
1. Safe to flash this ROM (as name implies it is for Dopod machines) on HTC Artmeis
2. Does this ROM support GPS.
3. How does it compare to WWE shipped ROM from Artemis

Good evening,
yes my device is CID locked on 200%. When I try to install other ROM, for example "ARTE DOPODAU 1.25.707.02 026990 WWE SHIP" it ends same as before this "experiment" = "BAD VENDOR ID". This ROM from PDAMobiz probably has specific instalator, which go around CID lock. About your questions:
1) Safety I can not declared. It was only experiment, because I won't pay for unlock, it is same mess as Microsoft and his Windows. But I did this "experiment" today aprox. five times and each time was succesful.
2) Yes, this ROM has same equipment as original HTC ROMs and much more extra. GPS and Wi-Fi are full functional. Only one thing droped out. I didn't find MMS editor in outlook, only e-mail and SMS.
3) I use it only one day so far, so I can offer only short-time and subjective opinion. ROM from PDAMobiz is more agile than original ROMs - it's knowable a lot on first click. It is default in WM6 colors and it has extra software integrated. I like for example good system equaliser, opera browser, overclock software or acrobat reader instead of horrible clearvue.
EazyVG, if you try it please tell me if it worked. Thank you!
I also have a locked CID (can't upgrade from Dutch to English rom) and succesfully upgraded to this version. Mine took only 12 minutes probably 'cause I've overclocked it to 273Mhz and started the upgrade.

WHERE DID YOU GET THE ROM FROM
pdamobiz
I got this ROM on www.pdamobiz.com or on xda-developers FTP. Ther is three versions, Lite, Customized and Powermap. I try to install each, but only Lite and Powermap was succesfuly instaled. Customized ROM freeze on system booting, but activesync stay active, so you can install other ROM.

DID YOU PERFORM ANYTHING SPECIAL IN YOUR UPGRADE PROCESS or DID YOU CARRY IT OUT AS NORMAL.
The powermap version is an .exe file. After connecting it with activesync i just doubleclick on it. Then after 'bout 12 minutes it told me to hard reset the device and then I got the powermap version.
My advance
I download pdamobiz ROM and unpack it by the winrar, after that I connected device to PC and established connection over activesync. Then i run "UpgradeRom_P800W.bat" and left it works.

OPPS - TRIED THIS - UNIT NOW STUCK IN RE-BOOT MODE...........HELP
pda23 - your caps lock key is stuck on
Recover
Press and hold voice record button and press reset. Bootloader will appear. Now you can plug USB cable and flash up original HTC ROM.
Can you let me know what are the new features in this rom compared to the old one?
I have the standard dutch T-mobile ROM
Is there someone from Holland that has installed this one? Did it solve some of the problems with being unreachable?
OK, today I decided to flash the Dopod PowerMap 1.1.2 ROM to my HTC Artemis which was supplied with Russian
Official ROM. The phone is CID locked as I was unable to flash any other ROM, but this one did.
I did it on Vista using new Windows Mobile Device Center. Once connected and partnership established, I launched
the .exe file (ROM) and waited for around 15-17 minutes until I saw "Flashed successfully .... do a Hard-Reset".
Waited for another 30 seconds and did hard-reset. Once the screen with option for formatting came up, waited
another 30 sec and pressed the green/call button.
What can I say about this, at last in English, ROM. I am very happy. Some things noticed in first few minutes of
use:
ROM version: 1.28.0.0 WWE [1.12.411.1 RUS]
ROM date: 11/06/06 [9/12/06]
Radio version: 02.67.90 [same as old one]
Protocol version: 4.1.13.28 [same as old]
OS: 5.1.342 (15096.3.0.1) [5.1.342 (15096.3.0.0)]
1. The bootloader screen remains the same!
2. AKU is now 3.01
3. I have around 38.5MB of free storage from 42.55 total (cooool)
4. Adobe Acrobat LE 2 is there instead of pathetic ClearVue PDF plus PowerPoint Mobile (didn't have it before)
5. HTC Apps - HTC Task Manager 1.0, HTC GIF Animation, HTC Audio Manager 1.0 (player), HTC Voice Recorder 1.0,
Media Hub (cool one and integrated with the rest supplied multimedia apps) .... all these were not there with RUS Rom
6. Applications included: GB-Soft Tweak (in settings menu), Opera, Audio Booster, GPS Viewer 1.5, GSFinder+, Jeyo SMS Backup 1.1, NoteM (Voice note recorder), OmapClock 0.2, PHM TrayLaunch, PowerMap G10 (without map), BurnOak Radio Scheduler 01.00.01, TRE 0.90 (registry editor), Voice Speed Dial (Cyberon 1.1 b.507271), vxUtility 1.6.2, WM5torage 1.73
7. Input Methods - Keyboard, Block Recognizer, Letter Recognizer, Transcriber (English Only)
8. Color scheme is of that Crossbow
It is amazing that with all these apps there I have ~38MB free storage memory as I prefer to have critical apps installed in main memery, plus my 1GB for the rest.
The next thing would be to unlock ext_rom and take out what I don't need, like PowerMap G10 and few other apps, to have extra few MBs (if possible).
Compared to my previous shipped ROM this one also feels snappier and cooler. I think I am gonna stick with this
one and wait now for ROM which features higher AKU version, with flashing option without CID unlocking. Running
Crossbow is still what I am dreaming off on this device.
As of now cannot say anything about SD card problem, but WiFi and GPS are working nicely.
IPL, SPL and Radio versions have remained same for me with the old Bootloader screen ---- think it is cause bootloader is locked .... any clues on this issue? Or should I try flashing again but this time with bootloader screen only loaded!
Where to download?
Any other download sites for the 1.1.2 PowerMap rom because the PDAMobiz site is painfully slow?
It is here on xda-dev @
ftp://xda:[email protected]/Arte....2_PowerMap.exe
Or get from here (rar files):

It is SIM locked, can I update using this ROM? Next question, what will I gain, and what will I lose?
Hello

without Problems? What does the excactly the ROM will do with the Phone?
Is my Germany WM5 still on it?
Hi all,
First post here after discovering this wonderful resource!
I am in the UK and have an O2 XDA Mini S, it was one of the first ones released I think.
I took off all of the O2 stuff as soon as I got it as it was extremely slow!
While it is ok most of the time, the performance can get pretty bad sometimes, seems like theres a memory leak somewhere.
Once rebooted its ok again for a few days.
The IPL and SPL version are both 1.05. I take it this is a very old (First?) version, and was wondering if upgrading it to a newer ROM would help the performance at all?
Other specs are as follows...
Rom Version - 1.5.4.2 WWE
ROM Date - 11/08/05
Radio version - 01.09.10
Protocol Version - 4.0.13.20
Ext ROM version - 1.5.4.102
Thanks...

Can't say I've used a 1.x rom version on my Wizard, but I have used a couple of official 2.1x roms, as well as Faria's WM5 rom and now I use Zoki's NBD WM6 rom. I can definitely say that I've seen performance improvements as I upgraded along this path. I've also found memory mgmt seem to be better on WM6 and I actually see memory reclaimed often, where this never happened before WM6.
Another thing to do is use batterystatus or omap to (slightly) overclock. I overclock to 260MHz using batterystatus.
Thanks for that Titus666,
Bit of a newbie with these things so excuse the question...
Does the ROM contain the OS then? eg. I have WM5 on mine. If I updated to another ROM would it update the OS to WM6 too?
Think I'll have to try a ROM update or 3 then, and try not to break it!

Yes, a ROM would contain the OS as well as the supporting apps and drivers like Bluetooth and Wifi etc. So there are many ROMs that are all WM5 but are all different, and similarly there are lots of ROMs that are WM6 but are all different as well.
So yes, if you want WM6, you will need to upgrade the rom. There are a number of sticky threads in the Wizard forums that spells out what needs to be done and what the traps are (and there are lots of traps), so read read read is my advice.
I have a Qtek 9100 with windows mobile 5 and i want to upgrade at aku 3.can somebody help me ?
Follow this guide :-
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Wizard Windows Mobile 6 for newbies
10x, but where do i find aku kit ?
aku (Adaptation Kit Update)
Starting with Windows Mobile 5 Microsoft began a policy of updates similar to that of the desktop windows.
Rather the replacing the whole OS some functionality may be added.
For example AKU 2.0 introduced push mail.
AKU infact means Roms (OS),you can find the latest in the Windows Mobile 6 Forum.

Does tmobile 3.08 stock rom is for G3 only? maybe it will bricked if it is correct I remember a thread where a guy try to upgrade his wizard to 3.08 but he gots a G4 now he got ipl 2.26.0001 and spl 3.08... remember?
but like everybody.... we dont know wich info he got!!!
Well,I can't say anything about this as I have no Personal experience about this Rom,I have never installed it,don't know the exact nomenclature of this rom,But all the official Stock Roms are build for both the devices.They have IPL/SPL included in them for both the devices and are safe to flash to any device.They no longer build Roms separate for each phone now.
When an official rom is flashed,the RUU determines the DOC Chip version of the phone and flashes the appropriate IPL/SPL (Bootloaders) to it.
If you extract the rom,it'll give two separate IPL/SPL files,so the best thing to do and find out if this particular Rom,which you say is 3.08,is to extract it and verify if it has separate IPL/SPL for both the devices.
can you give me a wm 6.1 rom for G4 qtek 9100 ?
Hello! I want to upgrade my Qtek 9100 with the latest ROM version. I have the official Qtek ROM 2.17.7.2 WWE, IPL/SPL 2.17, Radio 02.07.10 and AKU 2.0. Where can I find the latest official Qtek ROM?
How does the IPL/SPL influence 9100's performance or stability? I have found IPL/SPL version 3.08. Can I install IPL/SPL 3.08 separately from ROM version? Can I damage the Qtek?
And the most important thing: I want the latest official AKU installed on my Qtek. Can it be installed separately from ROM? Where can I find it? If it can't be installed separately, please help me to find the latest official Qtek 9100 ROM packed with the latest official AKU version.
One more question: Is the radio version a good one? Is there a better version? Can this be installed separately?
I think that is best for PDA that AKU, IPL/SPL and radio to be installed with ROM, not separately. Is that true?
Thank you very much!
Look at you men!!!
are you insane?
Jajajaj read men!
but as I am very good person I will tell you where you need to read ok?
First!!!!
Where can I find the latest official Qtek ROM?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
So i think you were found the 3.08 is good but is not recomended yet.... ok.
Second!!!!
How does the IPL/SPL influence 9100's performance or stability?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
It don't influence in nothing my men! nothing... why... because AKU (Actualization Kit Update) was just for wm5 ok? its like you wanna see if XP SP3 works well with your new Windows Vista Ultimate edition...
But you need to read the tutorial first to know how to downgrade first to1.01 then unlock, then upgrade to 2.XX not 3.08 ok?, then to a new WM6.1 rom ok...
Third!!!!
I have found IPL/SPL version 3.08. Can I install IPL/SPL 3.08 separately from ROM version?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Ok you found the 3.08... yes you can but is more important ask... what chipset do you have? G3 or G4? please provide us with this info first... i saw you have 2.12. bal bla bla so is a G3 but confirm cause some people said I have IPL SPL 2.17 and NOT they have 2.17.0001 (G4) and they has a bricked phone... so the only way to upgrade or change the IPL or SPL is flashing an Original ROM maded by your carrier and for your chipset ok? well... so the answer for this question is NO men!
Fourth!!!!
Can I damage the Qtek?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Yes the IPL and SPL changing system is the problem for all thats why people bricks their phones so please dont use it cause it wont lets you perform speed or something ok? AKU's was History Now! the world of WinMobile rules the 6.1 with .Net compact 3.5
Fifth!!!!
Can it be installed separately from ROM? Where can I find it? If it can't be installed separately, please help me to find the latest official Qtek 9100 ROM packed with the latest official AKU version.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
No is not the most impoprtant question is the same but all in one hahahaha
No you cant upgrade separately... aku is history so dont try to upgrade stay in Aku 2.XX after your unlock process ofcourse and read a lot men you need to read a lot!
Oh sorry i forget something... you have the last the 3.08 AKU 3 (3.08)
The AKU2 comes with A2DP stereo sound bluetooth via Headsets
The AKU3 comes with A2DP and Direct Push tecnologies... so... they never works in WM6 or 6.1 why? cause it already have it by default....
Hope it answers all your question and please men I cant tell you where to go if goes to G3 tutorial for unlock or G4 hardSPL cause you dont have read to fill your signature with your info so...
Be cool men and Good luck we are here to support!!!!
No, I haven't found 3.08 ROM. It's only IPL/SPL 3.08. I have found T-Mobile 2.26 and I don't know if it's good or not. Does T-Mobile ROM differs from Qtek ROM? Thanks!
So...
So... what do you mean with this...
I have found IPL/SPL version 3.08. Can I install IPL/SPL 3.08 separately from ROM version?

The IPL and SPL cant be found separately men!
where is the one you found post the link please...
I have found T-Mobile 2.26 and I don't know if it's good or not. Does T-Mobile ROM differs from Qtek ROM?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Men!!!
With the Original ROM T-mobile 2.26 you will have the 2.26 IPL and SPL...
And with the Original ROM T-mobile 3.08 you will have the 3.08 IPL and SPL...
This components arent separately.... Never!
It diffiers from Qtek in many things like... some apps... Splash screens.... Configurations... and many little things.
Here all recomends to Use the T-mobile Rom 2.26 to Upgrade after the unlock process cause is the best Original BASE rom ( is the same but is highly recomended that after unlocks the CID and SIM use the IPL and SPL 2.26)
I have found the 3.08 IPL/SPL in the unlocking thread...I'l give you the link latter because I am in a hurry.
If I want to flash the T-mobile 2.26 over Qtek's 2.17, I have to go back to 1.05 ROM and CID unlock, or I have to install the 2.26 over 2.17?
How about with battery life in T-Mobile 2.26 when using wireless and bluetooth? When using only GSM, the battery drains fast?
Thank you very much!
I think here...
Here is your link... so
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=311027
Whatever...
You are on qteks original 2.17 is it truth?
So... first of all downgrade to 1.05 (you dont need to upgrade to SPL 2.26)and do the unlocking process, if everything is ok...
second... upgrade to 2.26... then your favorite Coocked Rom by whoever you want ok?
third... everytime you want to upgrade or change your rom is highly recomended to flash first an Original ROM qtek 2.17... Tmobile 2.26 or 3.08 then your new Rom coocked ok?
You can change for every Original to Custom and viceversa now, and you dont need to downgrade again to 1.XX again cause its unlocked forever.
Hope it respeonds your doubts... The issue on many ROMs for this kind of things dont be the same on Original ROMS (I didn see issues on originals, well maybe the speed and performance), and many chefs recomends Three steps to upgrade if you experiments this batt drain issue:
1.-Before the NEW rom, Downgrade to any original
2.-Be sure your Batt is FULL I mean (100%)
3.-Let your device synchronize fully when it starts after an upgrade ( I mean dont unplug at the end of upgrade procedure)
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh
God damn ****!!!!!
Men wait a minute you are G4!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You dont need to do this unlocking proces ok?
it will be brick your device
Your device is G4!!!!!!!!!!
You need to go to G4 forum and perform the HardSPL Patch ask there....
Well my prays was listening hahahahaha
Because you write your info on your signature we avoid to brick your device
forget all this ****n thread and start again asking on G4 forum please god damn!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have a G3 device and I have CID unlocked my phone before, when I upgraded from Button 1.5.4.2 to Qtek 2.17 (I have followed the steps in the upgrading "manual" from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=285435). So, I think I don't need to go back to 1.05, unlock and then install 2.26. All I have to do is simply to upgrade T-Mobile 2.26 over Qtek 2.17 with RUU utility.
Now, I don't know how T-mobile 2.26 will influence my phone's settings regarding that I live in Romania and I am a Cosmote mobile network user, not T-Mobile. I have seen on a web site that you can not connect to Wi-Fi hot-spot if the hot-spot isn't from T-Mobile. Is T-Mobile ROM 2.26 restricting the phone's settings and the choice to freely connect to wireless hotspot or Cosmote GPRS and MMS, Orange EDGE and MMS. Can I add new SMS, MMS or GPRS/EDGE settings? Or they force you to use their settings and data connections?
Thank you very much!
So xtrange
The IPL and SPL you have on your signature are for a G4.
No it is recognized by the SIM Card... i mean the sms and cellphone conections but mms gprs and other things yes... you need the configurations separately...
So T-Mobile ROM will work OK with Cosmote network... But does T-Mobile ROM restricts any of the device's function? Can I use all it's function freely (wi-fi, bluetooth, irda -I'm asking you this because I have played with an HTC Prophet from T-Mobile that wasn't wi-fi enabled)? Can I install all kind of programs? Do you know anything about battery life?
In a previous post, you said that after CID Unlock it is recomended to use IPL/SPL 2.26. Can you, please, tell me why?
About G3/G4 chip: when I have verified chip version on SYSTEM-DEVICE INFO it showed M-System G3. Now It only show M-System without the G3. Don't know why...
Thank you very much for your help!

IPL/SPL: 2.17.0000
These are G3 Bootloaders,if it was 2.17.0001,then it wud have been a G4,therefore,your device is a G3 phone.nothing to worry about.
Now,you can flash any official roms to it as all the officiall roms like Qtek,t-mobile Cingular or O2 are basically the same roms provided by the Microsoft,they have the same Base Roms,but just all the vendors add up their own stuff to it.Like Splash screens,programs/applications and network/gprs settings.Apart from these ,there is no major difference in any Official rom from all the vendors.
Yes! Bootloaders(IPL/SPL)/Radio Roms can be flashed separately or within by a Rom flash.
Downgrading to IPL/SPL 1.xx is only needed if you want to CID unlock the phone for upgrading to any wm6 or wm6.1 rom,as no official wm6 rom is provided by any vendor.So its only possible to upgrade to wm6 or 6.1 latest rom through custom build roms and for that its required to get the phone CID unlocked
After getting the phone CID unlocked,its prefered to upgrade to T-mobile 2.26 coz its a proven stable base rom,but you can also upgrade to IPL/SPL 2.xx,required for upgrading to wm6 by flashing any other official Aku (Adaptation Kit Update) 2.xx rom.
Upgrading to IPL/SPL 3.08 will just give you a slightly better boot up timings,which is hardly noticeable and nothing else,so if you are at 2.xx,its more preferred.IPL/SPL 3.08 sometimes creates problems afterwards if you have to downgrade.
Its also not necessary to reflash back to official ro each time before flashing a new rom,but only recommended,to clear the Extended_Rom corruption and have a clean base,I have never reflashed any official rom before flashing any new rom,but then thats me!
Thanks men!!!
Im getting worried but... why does the Bootloader Shows the four zeros... on my device it never shows the zeros.
In 2.17.0000
I think he use the WST isnt it? not seing the bootloaders...
I have finally installed T-Mobile 3.08. It has interesting features, but I don't like the dialing pad and that when I start Internet Explorer, the phone asks if I want to connect to T-Mobile GPRS. I'm 60% with the Qtek 2.27 and 40% with T-Mobile 3.08. I'll wait to see the battery life compared with Qtek ROM and the power consumption when using wireless. I'll make a decision in weekend.
Oh, forgot to ask about WM6. Will the phone be faster or slower? What are the main differences from WM5? Is there an official WM6 ROM?
Thank you very much!
It seems that qtek's wi-fi is connecting continously, without establishing a connection. It show "connecting" all the time.
Today I have installed Qtek 2.17 ROM. I like it more than T-Mobile 3.08.
Hi,
I have an O2 XDA Orbit and I need to upgrade that to WM6.1, currently I have WM6.0 Pro running on it....i have been reading threads relating to the upgrade but i rather got confused...i really need somebody to explain me the following please:
1. Can my phone be upgraded to WM6.1?
2. If yes then how can I do this in a secure way without risking my phone?
I would really appreciate your efforts...Oh just in case you might need the info, I've detailed my "Device Information" below:
Windows Mobile 6 Professional
CE OS 5.2.1238 (Build 17745.0.2.3)
Processor: OMAP850-201MHz
ROM version: 3.4.206.2 WWE
ROM date: 4/18/07
Radio version: 02.67.90
Protocol version: 4.1.13.28
ExtROM version: 3.4.206.101
RAM size: 64 MB
THANKS!!
1. Yes, your phone can be upgraded to WM 6.1
2. The operation is not riskless, but you can minimize those risks by reading carefully posts concerning CID unlocking and flashing...start from here and good luck: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Artemis
well i got the idea pretty much and thx for ur reply appreciate it but now where can i find ROMs and which one will be good for my phone...and i also read tht my radio version shud be the same as the ROM version now how shud i check dat??
Windows Mobile and radio builds have different serial numbers, you'll never have the same .Just choose what you like the most.. ROMS are here: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Artemis_DumpedRoms and radios are here:http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Artemis_RadioUpgrades. Obviously your device MUST be CID unlocked first. Take time to read a little bit..I can't flash it for you from my home
P.S: Our device is very versatile but not so powerful (low ram & cpu), I suggest to choose a ROM that doesnt have useless heavy graphic complications..No "cubes" nor "manillas" or whatsoever...It may look pretty but quite unusable, but this is just an opinion
lolxx of course u cant...alright now 1st i need to CID unlock my phone den select the preffered ROM upgrade and den do i need to upgrade my Radio version aswell or shud i leave tht (optional)
lolxx of course u cant but i just wanted a suggestion as to which ROM shud i select which will look good and flashy since u guys knw better...alright now 1st i need to CID unlock my phone den select the preffered ROM upgrade and den do i need to upgrade my Radio version aswell or shud i leave tht (optional)
Radio upgrade is optional (theoretically) but if never done , i suggest to do it. Can greatly improve gsm ,wifi, gps reception and battery consumption. Anyway as you can see I'm only a normal member of this forum (with a bit of experience), don't take what i say as gold!
oh ok...so the thread u mentioned for the ROM upgrade der were like 15-20 upgrades one said : WM6 from Orbit English 3.4.207.1 02.69.90 4.1.13.28 17745.0.2.3....is this for upgrade frm WM6.0 to WM6.1 or WM5.0 to WM6.0?
and then there are some which goes by the name of WM6.1 B&B v5.0, PDAVIET WM6.1, Greasy Weasel Evolution 2.x, Mossi meets Anja31 v1, Fredelius WM6.1 so which one shud i go for???
As you can see from my signature, my ROM is in italian, i'm afraid you're not interested in..otherwise i would recommend it straight away (even if its already 1.5 years old..).I'm extremely happy with it, tried many others (included pdaviet 6.5) and quickly returned to it. There is no "the best rom of all", each one has pros and bugs..must try and try again...The general rule in my opinion is to look for a light,clean updated Windows build that includes the latest patches (e.g. for bigger memcards, for camera,bluetooth etcetera). No need to look for a ROM that expressely says it's for Orbit...just choose a WM6 or 6.1 from Artemis section
Thanks bro u've been a big help...caio
It was a pleasure, no big deal..I understand that at the beginning one's little bit scared and has many doubts...that is why I insist that you DO READ CAREFULLY instructions and the forum in general..A couple of last hints: CID unlocking i necessary only ONCE, after that you can flash all the coocked roms you want. If I'm not wrong, radio upgrade doesnt need CID unlocking, you can do it before all operation without risk nothing. CIAO
If you have news (hope good) about your upgrade let me now!
for sure!!
ah, just wondering..don't have experience in it, but as you have an "Orbit", doesnt that mean that it is also SIM locked? Maybe you have some additional steps to do, check it!
No it isnt i have a different network SIM then O2 in the phone for abt 2 years...if tht is wht u mean by SIM locked??
Yes it's what I meant.Well it's a good start..I was looking around for some ROMs for you, unfortunately some screenshots have been removed from the latest ones but let me link one as an example : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=364883. It is not the very latest build but I rembember it was woking very well. Obviously,i'd choose the NON CUBE version
oh thx as a matter of fact i have downloaded the same ROM wid the cube before u mentioned abt it ...and yeh it looked good lets c how it works
before CID unlocking my phone i tried to update the Radio ROM but when i pressed update it showed me da current ROM version and the version it will be which was 1.00.00000 however i downloaded the 3.34.90...anyways i continued and after 79% it gave me an error[290] saying the image was corrupted...den i downloaded the ROM from a different link and the same problem...any idea whts goin on??
Try another source or try my radio : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=374430
If problem persists go with CID unlock.
UPDATE:
YOU HAVE TO UNLOCK phone before upgrading the radio aswell, I've just read it at http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Artemis_RadioUpgrades, it says "You need to flash Artemis USPL before flashing these radios, for more info refere to the USPL thread". Cmon man!! take a little time to read!
well lemme tell u im running vista on my laptop but then i have a PC which is has XP...i've tried on both its the same error...after trying to update the Radio ROM i tried the CID Unlock...after the DOS process the phone screen goes blank and den the tri color screen appears which eventually installs the ROM to unlock but then again its the same error as earlier wid the Radio ROM upgrade
