HTC P3300-unplug when updating PDAMobiz ROM-dead phone-need help

It might be a duplicated topic but I do search on the forum and need some or your kindly help, xda-developers members.
I bought my HTC P3300 from ebay and it was already in English. A strange thing that it had French Extended ROM : 1.12.406.101. The rest is exact to the ART_HTCWWE_11240501_026790_WWE_Ship ROM (ROM : 1.12.405.1 9/12/06, Bootloader : 1.12.0000, Radio : 02.67.90)
Yesterday, when upgrading to PDAMobiz lite version, I accidentally unplug the device then now it turns to brick. No futher going except HTC boot screen with IPL 1.12.0001, SPL 1.12.0000, GSM 02.67.90, OS 1.28.0.0.
I try to put my phone into bootloader mode (triple color screen) and update with the Ship ROM downloaded from xda FTP. Unfortunately, all these ROMs result in "Invalid Model ID" or "Invalid Vendor ID" after 2% of progress then automatically reboot.
I understand that my phone is not unlocked, that procedure I have to do beforehand with the help of IMEICHECK. But now it is no use because my phone is a brick. That supprise me is why can not I go back with the WWE Ship ROM version that I already seen on my phone.
So I suspect that
1. My phone is HTC P3300 French version then the ebay buyer change to English UI before selling it to me
2. Because of unplug the phone while upgrading, part of bootloader of my phone was corrupted.
My solution can be
1. Send the phone to IMEICHECK because they have ability to open the hardware and re-flash the ROM directly. But it costs a lot of money and time because I have to pay for the fee, tax, and shipping.
2. Waiting for some kind people to share their French ROM of HTC P3300 so I can give a try on this. So please, if anyone owe a HTC P3300 French version please send me your dumped ROM ([email protected]) or let me know where can I get it. I will be appriciated that.
And to the xda-developers members, could you give me some more advices in this case, I was strugling with that for nearly 2 days. Thanks very much.

During the flash your security area on a device, including CID has been corrupted.
Actually none of image will flash on this device.
CID area must be restored in order to flash device. Yes, IMEI-CHECK recalculate all security area and flash it to device with help of modified spl loaded in a memory. But this is done from windows. In your case, you are in bootloader and you can not load modified spl.
Only one solution I see is to use jtag interface, but not sure that pins are known on artemis motherbord for jtag interface. With jtag you can load modified spl.
Simple way is just to send device to service center.
best regards,

Hic no choice. I am unable to open this device to access through jtag interface. Do you have any ideas ?

Send it cervice centre or Imecheck

@victoradjei: that's good idea. Could you please tell me which one is better ? Imeicheck or HTC service center ?
I live in Australia and I bought this phone from ebay, which service center (Europe, Taiwan ..) should I sent my device to?
I have talked with the guy in Imeicheck and he asure that this problem can be solved. However, have any one in xda-developers had experience with Imeicheck? Are they good at this kind of repair? How about their reputation?
Thanks very much

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

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

German ROM for HTC P3300 GER needed

Hi there,
I messed up flashing my HTC P3300 and am stuck in Bootloader right now. Does anybody have a German ROM for the P3300?
Thanks,

I've already tried that. I do need the original german HTC ROM for the P3300.
Thanks.

I need this too.....

i need too
Please post a german rom

I just send the text below to htc support
Hello, as i need to reflash the OS on my P3300 and there is no final release date for the WM6 Image, please provide a download for the HTC 3300 GER OS-Image. Thanks in advance
we will see the answer.......

I'm also looking for the German rom since 2 weeks

MDA Compact III German Rom
I have a MDA Compact III original German Rom. If you think that this rom will help you, I can put on rapidshare and send you a link.

Could always try it and pull it out of the bootloader screen...
Cheers....
@it

The MDA compact III rom does not work on the "plain" HTC P3300 german. I've already tried that. It seems that there is NO german P3300 available anywhere on the net. I've spend quite a few hours searching every available forum or search engine :-(

just go the following answer regarding a download for GER ROM from HTC
Good afternoon
We do not have an option available to you to download the ROM so that you may re-flash your handset. You may have your phone re-flashed by contacting the below repair centre, please note that there may be a charge for this service:

Same answer I get from htc (ITA_Version 1.12.408.1)
Did anybody think that HTC lounch soon Wm6 for Artemis? After that we must legaly download from HTC site like P3600(just put valid IMEI)...or I am wrong about that?

I think that will be our only chance... Wait for a WM6 ROM published by HTC.
Let's cross fingers that this will happen pretty soon.

Yes i hope ther will be an WM6 Image soon - but as i see the customer satisfaction seems to be very uninteresting for htc which is bad. I like this device very much but the service of htc is really bad. Lets hope that there is an image soon.......

I need German HTC P3300 no brand ROM too.
Why there is P3600 and others WM5 and even WM6 ROM available to download and not for P3300?
I really can´t undestand HTC costumer support politics....
We are not asking something that was not already paid, at least when i buy a WIN XP or VISTA i get the CD/DVD and future upgrades .

O2 XDA Orbit 3.4.207 GER
http://www.o2online.de/nw/assets/blobs/software/xdaorbit-windows-update.exe
May be it is, that you need...

No thats not what we need - we need the htc image not the o2 branded image - anyway my device is in the repair center and i will see how much i have to pay.....

I have a German HTC P3300 and upgraded it with the O2 version from the bootloader screen, no idea why that doesn't work for you....

Because our is unbranded HTC P3300 with CID locked and yours is CID unlocked or is a original O2 branded, thats why you can upgrade it.
Like we only can start it in boot mode, If we try to upgrade with O2 ROM or other ROM we get INVALID VENDOR.

HTC P4350 Previous ROMS

Hi,
I tried to upgrade my Herald and when I have it a hard reboot these showed up:
IPL 1.08.0001
SPL 1.08.0001
GSM 02.71.90
Previously the GSM was Different. I think it was 1.08 something.
Now the mobile is not booting up. I tried to format it and restore it to factpry default, but it didn't work.
You guys have some clues what I can possibly do?
Thanks

I think your device was still CID locked. you cannot use your device anymore UNLESS you still have the original ROM that was installed on your device. Try to upgrade to this version of ROM first. If this does not work I suggest you'd send your phone to HTC Repair Centre... Cus you own a BRICK, welcome to the club

lol very nice
in fact i sent them an email and they told me to take it to my nearest vendor
and they gave me an address as well. It's in Italy and i Live in Malta hehe
how can i install the previous rom since i cannot boot into windows ? :s

Get the RUU of your original ROM, put your device in bootloader mode: HOLD the comm manager and camera button, and press soft reset with your stylus. connect the device via USb with yor pc, then run the upgrade utility. Et Voila, unbricked

this has to be in the cd-roms i have with the mobile?

hehe i dont think you can find the original rom from google
been searching since sunday for it
i sent an email to htc maybe they can send me the original rom but no reply yet.
and i dont think someone has the original rom here heh

glad you found out yourself

I have asket HTC for original Italian ROM but they told me to take my device to a service center. And the service center cannot update it on-the-go but has to send it away....so it will be at least 20-30 days....I hope wm6 will be out there sooner!!!

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".
