First of all THANK YOU all of the Great Minds of XDA Developers for all the support and great work you do for us!
a lot of your work, support and software and advice has been priceless help!
Any way no ass kissing here, just wanted to say thank you. ...and ask for help. As you probably know, there has been a lot of problems and issues with Prophet. (and very little or NO support and from manufacture and from providers. and there is not much available from xda developers forum users on this device. Though there has been great amount of support on any other devices. which has made me a happy user of Magician. But to cut it short, PLEASE HELPPPPPPP with Prophet!!! I can't reflash my XDA Neo with new WWE rom due to CID (vendor ID) error! It comes with german rom and I don't read german but love the phone! (and stuck with 2 year contract!) I tried aWisard utility numerus times in hopes that it would work despite the design for different device. I tried all kinds of roms available out there with no luck. and ofcourse HTC or O2 wouldn't help in any way! (different O2 support
techs said to me that I couldn't flash my Magician with WWE rom becouse it would kill the device! And I had it flashed in all the possible languages!) Any way, my magician is now a history (sold) and my new prophet is great pain in a ass!
Do you guys think you could help all of the xda community (and unlucky suckers) out here and help us overcome CID error so we can update/change our roms? (and screw the HTC, Qtek, Imate and O2 for such a poor support!)
I would greatly appreciate it! and it goes from all of us!
hi aleksandr
Just go the link below and follow the instruction to unlock the CID.
I just upgraded my 818 Pro to JAMin ROM, run very smoothly.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=37386
Hi, thank you very much for the reply! I did try this option but I have a little problem with Wisard program. I ran all the commands, enabled rapi,backed up my rom, ran unlock CID command, it returned "success" line, but when I try option -w- to write new rom into my prophet and get to "select OS rom file" where it saids to enter numbers only I don't know what to enter in the command line since the program doesn't have any roms listed in the command line screen. I've tried entering the rom release number, I even tried renaming rom to a number and I have placed the rom nk.nbf file in all the possible folders including "rom" in the program directory. but stil, once I hit enter, the command line window shuts down. could you advise?
and I did put the aWizard folder and rom file in the root directory on c:... tried d: too... stil, no result
Hi Alek,
Try this....
You now have a device that is CID unlocked, exit aWizard and locate the downloaded RUU update you now wish to load to your device. You should not need to use aWizard to do the flashing, just use the aWizard program to unlock the CID from the device.
I too have a Dopod 818Pro and I successfully flashed it to the new I-Mate JAMin ROM. All I used aWizard for was to unlock the CID on the Dopod 818Pro then exited aWizard and just used the downloaded RUU update.

voyager
Thanks voyager, I guess you're very fast typist :lol:
Hi aleksandr,
Did you did an ActiveSync with your Prophet first then run the aWizard? For me I just run aWizard to enable RAPI and unlock the CID on my 818 Pro. Then I just double click on the latest JAMin ROM exe file, it detect my 818 Pro without any problem.

First of all thank you guys for getting involved and helping! I really appreciate it!
well, I tried just to CID unlock it with aWisard, got "successful" message and then I ran about 10 different upgrades from different providers, qtek, Imate, etc, and still got the wrong vender message!
hey mamakap,
you're right on the fast typing, my fingers are still burning...hee hee

I usualy ran after sync, since the aWisard said it has to be fully ran. I will try it now!
Thank you! hopefully with all of your support I'll get the nedded results! Thanx!!
ok, just tried enable rapi with active sync off, the aWisard reopened and reastablished connection, but it still not finding the rom file.
wait a minute, does the rom file has to be in .nbf format or .nba?!
I'm looking right now for Extend Tool (64HTC Extended ROM Tool) and will convert the rom rom to nba file and see what happends.
man, I wonder how it worked for you just running unlock CID command and upgrading with the upgrade file!
Alek,
You already unlocked the CID from your device did you not? Your first post said you got a success message.
Put your device on the cradle or plug in the usb cable. Let ActiveSync do its thing then after the sync just double click on the RUU update you want to install. Follow the install wizard (NOT aWIZARD) of the RUU update. You do not need aWizard any longer to update the ROM, just use the RUU update you downloaded.
post if you need further help.

I've tried that several times and its still returnes the error!
Alek, one more thing ... you do realize that by doing this, you will wipe your device clean (hard reset) and you will need to load everything from scratch. If you use a back up program like Sprite or SPB backup YOU CAN NOT USE THAT BACKUP once you do this!!! You will be loading everything from scratch.
Just letting you know!!
voyager
OK Alek,
Tell me EVERYTHING you have done up to this point. I need to know what device you have, what ROM is currently on it and what ROM you want to flash with. Give me 5-10mins and I'll check back....lets try to get this resolved for you tonight.
voyager
yep! I do know this.. thank you though! I had an experience with Magician on that but I guess it's not much help with prophet though!
I haven't installed anything on this device yet.. just played with ExtRom, unlocked it and deleted O2 staff out of it just to see if I can do it But I do want to get the right OS in here first and then I'll worry about the rest of programs..
you guys wouldn't happen to have Extend Tool (64HTC Extended ROM Tool)would you? I'm visiting my family and I'm on my brothers PC dont have all my staff with me,and can't seem to find it on the XDA FTP
:?: What 64HTC Extended ROM tool are you referring to? If you're on your brothers computer do you have an ActiveSync connection to YOUR device? If so, is all synced up with your Outlook profile etc...?
First I need to know which Prophet you have (Dopod 818Pro, I-Mate JAMin or Q-Tek S200).
First let me say this, if you have a Q-Tek S200, I don't think you are going to be able to upgrade the ROM. I have seen several threads here that indicate that somehow Q-Tek S200 is permanently locked and that the aWizard program will NOT work on it no matter what, (or at least until some geneius here figures it out
Please let me know

Hey, thank you so much! I really appreciate it!
ok, I have XDA Neo, German Version
rom 2.9.4.30 GER
rom date 2.14.06
protocol 413.1.03
ExtRom 2.9.4.120
First I have unlocked ExtRom with Wizards Utility
Then I tried to reflash the device to WWE rom with different upgrade utilities from different venders, tried Qtek s200,it didn't work, reterned wrong Vender ID error, then Imate- same result, then Dopod, using diferent RUU wizards, including Wizard Rom Upgrade Utility NoID.
still, no luck..
then I tried aWizard,
first I ran Rapi enable
second I made a back up of my own rom,
then Unlock CID,
then tried writing rom using aWisard, didnt work, aWizard doesn't finds any roms(and the program and rom are in the root directory of c
then tried just unlocking the CID and use Upgrade Wizards again, still, no luck!
tried praying, that didn't help either!
thinking about beer now! But I don't think that would help either
I did sync with PC and outlook.. activeSync4.1
I even tried flashing it with Danish rom, that I couldn't install it either..(I've read on XDA that flashing danish rom first than and only than I could try it to put WWE in to it. well, that didn't work either)
I tried running all possible rom upgrades that are available, and always got wrong vender id error.
even after aWizard reported that my rom was unlocked!
so I have no Idea what else I can try!
may be getting drunk and "sync it in the toilet"!
If we get this to work, you owe me a beer!!! OK, here's what I need you to do...
1) I tried researching this board for any signs of the O2 Neo being permanently locked like the Q-Tek S200, could find NOT anything. (edited, could NOT find anything)
2) Do you have a copy of the I-Mate JAMin RUU update on your brothers computer? If so great, if not, go get it. Try the latest one that came out yesterday.
3) Once you have this I-Mate JAMin ROM (save it to the Desktop for easy finding later) let me know.
4) Also, make sure you have ActiveSync 4.1 and it is set up and you have synced at least once with it. It doesn;t matter at this point what PIM info is on it since its going buh bye ina while, I just need it synced with a REAL partnership, not Guest.
Let me know when you have all these things done...
voyager
you've got the deal on bear! all you can drink! I'll bring you the german staff on my next visit to states!
any way, got it all! Imate jamin rom and sync has been done!
OK,
1) do a soft reset on the device. Once the device is fully up again, plug the usb cable in and let ActiveSync do its thing.
2) Open aWizard. Run the Rapi deal again. After that run the unlock CID.
3) If you get a success message after the unlock CID, CLOSE aWizard.
DO NOT UNPLUG THE NEO FROM THE USB!!! Let me know when this is done.
I found your 64HTC Tool:

Hi guys. I have a x7501 and I tried the unlocker and now my device is dead.
I sent the device to HTC and the replaced the motherboard and sent it back. now I dont know what to do. i have a x7500 that I unlocked via unlocker and it was fine but it didnt work with x7501.
I wanna know the success rate for x7501.
So if you have a x7501 and used unlocker could you post you success rate also the process and setup u had. ( xp or vista). I have read that there are lots of people with dead athena's so This would help Members Alot ( atleast newbies )
Thank you ...
i bought my htc x7501 a few days ago and unclocked and flashed black touch PK3.0 on the first day and never looked back.i ran the unlocker on windows xp and only ran step 1.
I 2 (two) times totally, unrecoverable brick my athena with Olipro unlocker (after step 1). Two times SERVICE back my device to life. Never more AthenaUnlocker. I'm unlock device with imei-check guys.
i just got mine back from htc and i really need it unlocked for tomtom from my x7500. has anyone used imei-check or no.
i want to used oli's unlocker but i don't wanted to be a brick again
ok I got mine unlocked with imei-check and i dont think it works...
I can use any htc rom but no cooked ones
has anyone had this problem
*ahem*
STOP USING THE OLD ****ING UNLOCKER AND DOWNLOAD VERSION 2 YOU TWERPS
also, to verify you were using version 2; the debug output when you start it up should read "Version 2.0"
and Vista may or may not be a problem... but do check you're running V2.0 for gods sake, and if you are, we have a problem.

i am an in teh buttom is says version 2.0 and when i do step one it send the enablerapi to my device and then after installing it it goes to backup the spl and it does but then it gives me an error and is askes me to continue or hit quit to exit.
and it did the same last time. has anyone had this error.
OK, click details and paste the first 6-7 lines
by the way, when programs throw exceptions, that's generally a clue that you probably shouldn't carry on and try to flash a sensitive part of your device with it
i tried in 3 different pc's and finally worked.
i posted the screen shot for the error that i was getting.
check it out if you need to but it is alset..
thank you and i will pm midget to see where he wants me to send the 7500
No Issue's
New HTC Advantage (i.e. 7501) ran the unlocker step 1, flashed PK 3.0. No issues so far, everything works acceptably well.
Successful x7501 Unlock on Vista
Hey I just wanted to add I successfully unlocked my x7501 the day after I got it, using olipro's unlocker on vista ultimate. I had no problems performing steps 1-3 fully, it was a bit of a pain having to flash the rom like 4 times but now im unlocked for good and future rom updates will be easy.
Loving the AP Touch 3.0! My sincere thanks to all who have contributed to the Athena Project.
Hi,
Just wondered if anyone could please give even some brief instructions on how to go about flashing an XDA Orbit with Artemis_Touch_4.01_Full.
I have searched but there just doesn't seem to be any step by step guide. I'm running WM6 and have a Vista based pc with the above ROM downloaded, but can't figure out how to go about flashing and don't want to brick my phone.
Any help woud be greatly appreciated!
Cheers
Ok its pretty easy enough. First u gotta make your Orbit "unlocked". This is done by flashing USPL to it (which I guess stands for "Upgraded Service Provider Lock" or something like that). This will also make it CID unlocked (which I guess stands for "Country ID" or whatever). Anyway doesnt really matter what they stand for.
Once this is done, you can now flash your ROM to your Orbit because there shouldnt be any locks in the way stopping you.
....Meschle has made these steps pretty simple in all of his ROMs.
1 - connect your Orbit to your PC and make sure it connects to ActiveSync OK
2 - if the ROM is in a .rar then extract it and run "STEP 1 - activesync then uspl cid unlocking.bat"
3 - once thats done and you have followed the instructions that appear and your Orbit has been reset (or rebooted, whatever), reconnect to PC and ActiveSync again, then run "STEP 2 - activesync then flash artemis touch rom.bat"
....and there you go, once everything is finished and your Orbit is rebooted, you now have a brand new ROM on your Orbit. This will wipe your data (much like formatting your hard drive with a new operating system) so make sure to backup. And maybe try running "STEP 2 - activesync then flash artemis touch rom.bat" two or three times, sometimes it helps.
thanks fubofo for easy instruction, i have orbit with wm5 and to unlock i use this

I think SPL means Service Provider Lock (like O2 or Orange) or something like that. USPL is basically a patched SPL that you write to your Orbit. Just follow the instructions on that post and when your Orbit restarts, just check (at the very start, in top left corner in red font) that the SPL displays 1.11. If it does then your unlocked and ready for flashing new ROMs
thanks fubofo for your instructions,
i done that and its working perfect, just one more question, what if i want to change with some other rom can i do this?

Hey, glad everything worked out OK. Yeah, now that your USPL is 1.11 you flash whatever ROMs you like whenever you like. Trust me it gets a bit hectic at times, so many new ROMs every week or so lol.

Hello, I want to get rid of the original rom and install WM6.5 I have been searching for hours but since there is that much information, now I got confused
I have a folder on the desktop with several programs that just don't open with Vista. Some of them work but I get errors.
My cellphone is SIM unlocked, got the code from T-mobile itself. As far as I understand, in order to install another rom I need to CID unlock the device.
I understand that I need to "hardspl" the device in order to accept another rom. I have followed a guide to hardspl a device but the links to download the software are corrupted.
I am running windows Vista with Windows Mobile device center installed and synched with the phone , I know most of these programs only work with XP.
Can anyone PLEASE tell me the direct link where I can download the correrct software for my wing to unlock the CID? and also, if it is possible to do it under Vista?
thanks for your help
thanks for your help guys...
anyone pleasee?
Well, everything that is HardSPL works with Vista. You just need to follow the instructions EXACTLY. What do you mean by the files are corrupted?
http://thewingster.com/Documents/How to HardSPL (Wing-Herald).pdf
FOLLOW THIS .PDF TO THE TEE. COMPATIBLE WITH VISTA 100%. I USED IT WITH NO PROBLEMS
Hello all,
I have a Vodafone Compact IV and want to flash WM6.5.
I was followed your description exactly, but after beginning to flash the Windows is crashing with blue screen and the phone is standing in white screen. I can soft reset it and everything is like before.
On the phone there is actually a WM6.1 from Vodafone Germany. My IPL and SPL is IPL 4.14.0001, SPL 4.14.0000.
Any tips for me ???
Regards
Werner
I have used an other PC and it was working without crash ;-) ... Everything is perfect now.
Hi all,
I'm a newbie here so sorry of this type of problem has previously been solved in a later thread. If so I couldnt find it.
Several months ago I returned from China to Germany with my Dopod C858 with stock windows in English, I found a link on how to upgrade the PDA to a cooked rom ( I cant quite remember which one but I worked fine and looked quite smart compared to the standard windows layout) nedless to say several days later I was not quick enough with the charger and let it run flat. After charging nothing worked anymore!! I can get boot loader (ISPL 1.09.0001 SPL 1.09.0001) and thats it. I have tried every possible way appart from gold card to reinstall a rom but always have either error 240,264,300 take your pick its different every time. I am running vista 32 (Prophet tools vista driver ). Please help with some suggestions or guidance how I can restore it..
Ps Active sync or even widows mobile device centre doesnt recognise it though if I go into Properties/Device Manager it comes up as a HTC Mobile device
Many thanks
You need to flash your original carrier ROM. Go into bootloader, hook up your phone via USB and flash it. Then you should have an updated IPL/SPL of 4.xx.xxxx, after which you can then apply HardSPL and flash another custom ROM if you like.
1. This is NOT a ROM Development thread. I moved it. Please post in the correct sectio next time.
2. It has been covered many times.
3. You flashed using USPL or HardSPL but your SPL is below 4.0 They're both incompatible with your SPL.
4. Your only fix will be a gold card. Search for it and you will find detailed instructions on how to fix it.
Moved?
Where did you move my thread to please?
