XDA Orbit bootloader - P3300, MDA Compact III upgrading etc.

Hi all,
Hello guys, I'm just beginner in such devices, but I'm really want to repair it by myself. Please help me !!!
So, I have bricked device with corrupted bootloader, but I have a possibility to flash its ROM with programmer (extract ROM from device, flash it and insert again to the device).
Does here FULL DUMP of ROM for XDA Orbit available?
1. First of all ROM should contain primary bootloader sector (as I understand - IPL).
2. The second thing is SPL - there are no problems as I see.
All the other sectors isn't mandatory as I understand. If ROM contains IPL & SPL, it will be possible to load any other ROM using activeSync with ROM update software, or flash from SD-card.
May be such ROM still not available and my idea has no chance at all?
What are you thinking about all this ?

Question for Dutty

Hi
I have a O2 orbit which is sim unlocked(UK English Rom) .The question i have is If i want to flash the Dopod rom to it,by using your tool i first extract the .nb files from .nbh,which gives me the radio rom extended rom etc.Now what i want to know is;
1, What do i type in the os window because the options there are is Aret1000 and Arte1100.
2,And can i just repack the os system and reflash or do i have to flash the splash screens also?
3,Also can the radio rom be flashed without any damage to the device?
I am sorry for asking these questions but i want to be very sure before doing aanything and more so after reading so many posts about bricked devices.Is there anyway i can find out about CID lock status on my device through mtty cause the other commands dont seem to work on the orbit.Your reply would be very appreciated.Thank you.

How to load a SPL in RAM and use it?

I have a Herald with the bootloader with some problems.
I can connect with mtty.exe but don't know what commands must be used to load a SPL in RAM and use it. if i do that i think i can install a new OS.
Hope you have a suggestion.
sspl?
message too short!
thanks for your post!
i saw that SSPL exists for hermes and trinity.i asked Des to provide some further instructions.
If you know if i can use SSPL with Herald, and if that can be done from the bootloader that will be perfect...since this is the only way i can unbrick my phone.
and no version for radio is showing..
don't know much about herald, but something is for sure - if your phone is already bricked and hardspl is not already installed - chances are its highly unlikely that you can still push a spl into ram and have it executed.
you need other means of rescue. go to the herald forum and that's your best shot. btw, can't you just flash the original rom to recover?
today i have downloaded all versions of the roms for herald. i'll try them all....

P4350 problem flashing stock SPL after Hard SPL

Hi guys,
at first i want to thank you for any solution or info you provide in this forum, it helped me in a lot of cases.
I'm looking for a solution for a problem i'm facing, I have two P4350 which the second is from a friend of mine.
This P4350(HERA100 IPL/SPL 4.x the second device) was bought through ebay and had the german windows mobile 6.0 on it. I couldnt flash the WWE edition of windows mobile 6 because of an error saying "Invalid Vendor ID" so i assume it was a CID Locked.
So I did the first thing i found on this forum and after a lot of reading on how to do it, i installed the Hard SPL from Aserg. The problem is when I try to install the extended rom which comes from the distributor here in Greece of HTC Phones.
Apparently they have done something and somehow it recognizes that i have installed wrong SPL and always reboots(it displays an error msg inside the OS enviroment and after 5 sec it reboots) when the WWE OS start after the installation of the programs inside off Extended ROM.
So after some more reading i found that i could have used the USPL method for bypassing the CID Lock. Correct?
Now my problem is that I want to remove the Hard SPL to install the officially shipped edition of SPL + WWE ROM using USPL.
Whichever solution I use to remove the Hard SPL it just wont go away!
I even installed the German edition again with the hope that it will install the stock SPL again. It says that is being flashed but the SPL doesnt even change! While the ROM is being flashed correctly and windows boot without any problem
I have tried Flash Center, Stock Rom(German & WWE) and lots of different removals for Hard SPL but nothing worked!
Is there any workaround/solution for this problem? I have no problem to use any tools or console based ones but I need some information or a tutorial so as to not brick the device.
Thanx in regard for any help and sorry for the long post but I wanted to describe all the steps that I followed to get here.
P.S. If this post is in the wrong thread please tell me so.

Help Me! - Broken Prophet :(

Hi All!
While I was flashing wapvirus' WM 6.5 build 23004 Titanium Neo Shadow last summer I did some mistakes and my Prophet got broken. I've flashed a NVID rom and I saved my lovely PPC . But some times I power off and power on (shutting device up not the screen) it locks down in cloudy Qtek screen or depletes its battery When it locks down I perform a hardreset and it opens. But I'm sick of this. Is there a cure for this? Please help this newbie
Edit: I used that NVID rom for a while and flashed Gullum's TNT v4.
No answer means my Prophet is dead?
Hi There
What do you mean by "mistakes" and have you performed a HardSPL especially after flashing the Qtek NVID.
The other thing to do is to use Lokiwiz 2b to unlock the CID (superCID)
This should give you a few starters or if in doubt have a deep read of the Wiki page.
I mean I did something wrong. I don't remember.
And I didn't performed a HardSPL before flasing rom or flashing NVID.
And thanks for your advise but Does CID unlock damage G4? There's an warning like "WARNING DO NOT PERFORM THIS IF YOU HAVE A G4 PROPHET (IPL/SPL 2.xx.0001)
" in Wiki.
Hi There
Okay forget the Lokiwiz for now as I was not aware your device was a G4 and make sure you flash the phone with a HardSPL before you do anything as not doing so has caused a majority of your problems.
Once you've flashed that then flash the phone with the Qtek NVID or another one I found that works just as well is the Orange WWE as this also contains a NVID. Once you have flashed the ROM it is vital that you perform a hard reset as this will solve most minor issues.
See how you get on with that.
So you say I should flash a HardSPL and then flash the Orange rom, right?
That's right make sure you flash the HardSPL before the new ROM.
As a precaution I always flash the HardSPL before installing any ROM, although you don't actually need to.
In fact I can't flash things to my Lovely Prophet 'cause I have to study hard (really hard) for a short time. Thanks for your help Dixiesmu. If I succeed or fail I'll bother you. Be sure of this.
