Hi there, I got my O2 xda orbit 2 weeks ago from germany and I decided to change the german rom to an wwe one, but the phone got bricked and stays on the welcome screen
I think I did a CID unlock but I am not sure. I can get to bootloader but I don't know what to do. How can I put a WWE WM6 on my Orbit? and also how can I check if my battery is above 50%?
Thank you
flash device with original O2 ROM.
regards,
Ok, but the only original O2 roms that I found in this forum are WM5, the original WM on my Orbit was WM6
Have you tried using the original O2DE WM5 ROM, although I am fairly sure that O2DE were one of the first to release a WM6 ROM.
EDIT: Yes, here it is: ftp://htc_us:[email protected]_O2_DE_3.4.207.2_4.1.13.41_02.88.90_Ship.exe
So when I flash the original O2 rom, can I upgrade to an english WM6 and how?
Follow the instructions on the UPSL thread to CID unlock your device. NOTE: Best to use an XP computer, Vista will not work right.
Then immediatly flash the ROM of your choice.
I think my CID is unlocked. I followed the instructions that were in the forum and the spl changed to 1.11.0000. Which ROM file should I put on my device? thx

Go for B&B3.7. Stay clear of the O2 Official ROM. It's crap!!!
O2 WM6 rom
use the O2 wm6 upgrade nothing wrong with it really go to their site and download . If you have a UK O2 orbit you will not need to CID unlock it will go on with no problem

You don't like it then that is fine, but crap? No. It is wholly stable and works absolutely perfectly.

Don't have anything new to add that hasn't been said already.........except that i don't like it. Been using B&B3.7 until last night. O2 WM6 seems like a step backwards from this ROM, not sure why

Yes it is stable, yes it works perfectly.
I still don't like it.
B&B3.7 is very stable. It also works perfectly. plus it also works a damn site faster too.
I am entitled to my own opinion, you are to yours.

did you recover device?
you can flash any ROM with USPL installed, read USPL manual.
regards,
Thanks to everybody for their comments, but active sync does not work on my pc when the phone is bricked and stays on the welcome screen so I can't install the uspl... Also when I am able to fix this problem, which rom would you recommend me to upload on my device?
n1k1
1. you need to flash your device with original ROM it was shipped with.
flashing is done from bootloader. activesync will be unavailable, don't bother. just start flasher and follow the wizard.
2. when device is flashed and operational, install uspl.
documentation is supplied with uspl.
3. since then, you can flash any ROM you like.
regards,

Hold TOP LEFT button and press in RESET and get device into bootloader. Can't do anything from welcome screen. Then flash the devices original ROM. After this flash USPL and the B&Bv4 as this is the best available...........as of yet anyway.
Hi
I followed uspl instructions. But after stage 1 (White screen) active sync will not connect. Phone connected to charger, still on White screen.
If advice above about bootloader is correct, could someone re-explain with simple steps.
Thanks colink
Hi.. I am using a Dopod D810, and was looking through the HTC Member's Club on their website for system update when I chanced upon an rom update for HTC P3600.
To my knowledge, D810 and P3600 are actually the same. So my question is, is it safe to use the rom update? There is another older rom update that is for D810 in the site. But if I am to update the rom, I might as well go for the latest one.
Anyone can help me on this?
yes they are the same. but rom update always has risks. make sure you have hardspl installed before updating any rom

I know the ROM should be safe IF i use the D810 ROM.. what I'm looking at now is the possiblity of using the P3600 update ROM for my D810.. will thr be any compatibility problems? If there is gonna be.. then I'll just stick to my current one..
rom
my phone is HTC p3600i (box) but i have dopod 810 rom which is the latest version from the eclub web, when i bought it outright... verion xxx.18
i have the dht9100 Chinese version, which rom could I use without bricking the device to change it to english. thanks.
I have found no working link for RUU_Herald_HTC_WWE_5.4.405.1_4.1.13.34_02.79.90_Ship including link given at WIKI. I have googled for above ROM but still no working link.
I need above ROM as i need to go back on official WM5 ROM of mine (from WM6) before installing TOUCH IT. Any help???
Not exactly what you requested but close enough
HTC_P4350_WWE_4.17.405.2_4.1.13.44_02.94.90_Ship.exe (official WM6 ROM)

I'm sure you don't have to downgrade.

I am already using your mentioned ROM. I have tried HARD SPL and WM6_Hard_SPL.rar. I have also tried BETA3 USPL. I recieve connectivity errors though I am able to run same WM6 RUU (Ship version) successfully. In WIKI its mentioned among known problems that
UPGRADING TO WM6 FROM WM6
(PLEASE DELETE LINE IF CONFIRMED)
Not sure if this is a known\common issue but when you are upgrading from a cooked WM6 ROM to another cooked WM6 ROM you must first downgrade to WM5 otherwise you will get hung at the first boot loader screen
Weird, if your SPL is at least 4.xx.xx the HardSPL ROM should work fine with you. I flashed from original German O2 WM6 ROM to HardSPL WM6 ROM. Then I flashed to latest HTC German WM6 ROM (for a clean base) and from there to any available custom ROM.
Thats what i am unable to understand. It gives me connection error 202 on PC as soon as it goes to BOOT loader. I have seen a few other users making same complaint in HARD SPL thread of olpiro.
I have connection problems too, and they were fixed by uninstalling activesync, then redownloading it from the MS website.

Thanks Issue has been Resolved via USPL and TOUCH IT.

You need active sync from microsoft to sync with pc, or you can just plug it in with usb and use it as a removable drive, follow the tutorial on the rom section to debrand and unlock your o2 HD2 by upgrading to the new 1.48 roms...
thanks richie,
i will download active sync now, but i have a question,
im tryng to find the rom section but i have found quite a few posts, im really confused, what is SPL??
do i just install 1.48 and that should debrand and unlock my device??
and what is goldcard???
im coming from an n97, and have been using symbian for over 5 years, so i apologize in advance
o2 will now let you unlock it,maybe for free...more info on that here:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=5054228&postcount=2
The latest 1.48 ROM cannot be loaded without using goldcard, on an O2 HD2.
For Windows Vista and 7, you need Windows Mobile Device Center (activesync renamed).
It on the windows mobile site to download.

Follow this thread to the letter and you won`t go wrong....
Useful info!
Chaps,
Once this has the 1.48 installed on it will it then be able to be upgraded with ROM's from the HTC site in future without the use of a GoldCard?
Or will it need to be network unlocked too?
Is this GoldCard business needed because the O2 HD2 is network locked?

For now you will need to use the goldcard method for installing the roms from HTC as they have not yet gone official..I can`t see it affecting future upgrades from the HTC site but my experience tells me that when ever i`ve had an O2 branded HTC device the HTC website won`t allow downloads from there site when you have to enter your serial number. You have to wait for O2 to release there own version of the update which NEVER happens....
Hence why i ended up at this brilliant site.
thanks guys, im going to follow the goldcard method,
will there be such another method without goldcard in the near future? im not even sure what goldcard is to be honest
will debranding to 1.48 unlock the phone as well?? or not ??
i have submitted the unlock phone request form on o2's website but am just wondering if the new rom will unlock the phone?

Thanks Richie, that's a very comprehensive answer!
Hey, I've got an O2 branded phone which was unlocked using the unlocking website (€22 it cost). Using a 3 UK sim and I'm wanting to get rid of O2's branding.
I've downloaded "RUU_Leo_HTC_WWE_1.48.405.2_Radio_Signed_15.28.50.07U_2.05.51.05_2_Ship.exe"
My question is will this ROM remove the branding and do I need to use the goldcard with this or is this a shipped rom (that I can just update using the exe)?
Many thanks,
Ross.

Okay cool, card prepared and rom loaded on.
Is this the best rom to use at this moment? Just waiting for the battery to charge > 80%
Branding is cosmetic, I can live with that. Network locking prevents the use of another network's SIM cards and is the real problem. I recently bought an O2 branded HD2 on ebay, and I am not an O2 subscriber. Whilst I have read on other threads that O2 now offer unlock codes for free, it seems unlikely that they will do this for a non-subscriber. So I have been trying the commercial unlockers, of which there are many. Of the four tried so far, all have been unable to calculate an unlock code for my EMEI no. To be fair, three of them immediately refunded what I had paid them. So now I am stuck with O2. I would like to understand this situation better. Is my phone just too new, in which case I just need to be patient? Is it something worse? Any comment would be welcome.
BTW reflashing to a stock or cooked ROM does NOT remove network locking.
Hey everyone!!
Today I got my HD2
I saw a ROM update on the HTC site. It was posted on 02-02-2010.
When I enter my serial number it says the update is not for me (I'm sure I filled in the correct one).
Is this because my phone is from Vodafone (splash screen en shutdown screen show Vodafone logo)?
Is it possible to install this official ROM? (I don't mind to lose the Vodafone screens) How could I do this.
I want to keep my phone in dutch.
Let me know, I know you could help me!!!
has your phone already got an up to date rom? you can download official rom's in the leo rom development forum

Hi, yes, you are correct. You should get your rom upgrades from Vodafone.
However we all know how bad carriers are at releasing upgrades, so consider hspl2 and then you can flash the rom of your choice. (official or not)
But isn't it possible to get an official HTC rom?
At this moment I prefer to have an official rom on my new phone.
For an official Vodafone ROM update, ask them. The ROM on the HTC site is also official. Not for your phone tho.

no because your handset is branded to vodafone, the offical updates are for non branded phones
I had a same problem!
Just bought an HTC HD2, in hungary, but it has a "hungarian rom 1.48.479.1" on it, with SPL 1.42.0000
But, i cant upgrade any roms, my PN number last 3 number is 042, so this htc hd2 is came from a german vodafone. (htc . com says, no upgarde for this pdaphone yet)
Still have 2 years of warranty.
So is it possible, to get an 1.66 official rom on it, with hspl2? and if i need my warranty, can i "un/install" to 1.42 SPL to not lose my warranty? If is it possible, i will use hspl2 if i need my warranty, and i will use that german 1.66 rom that just came out (vodafone . de)
Answer pls, and yea, i know my english is sucks.
