Dear all,
I want to reverse the ROM from EXEC to ATOM.
I have the ROM image with me. Can anyone help me with the process?
Appreciate it very much.
Sorry for asking, what is your problem with your Exec ROM. Actually, I have also some issues re Exec ROM with my Atom and I would try to revert also tonight.
Actually, I have already reversed my Atom, because the ExtROM on my Not-Quite-The-Exec mysteriously disappeared for the 4th time so far this year.
(I should thank Quanta for giving us a buggy flasher, otherwise this procedure won't work, as the Exec bootloader specifically prevents flashing this way)
*DISCLAIMER: the following is my experience. I have no actual technical knowledge of the innards aside from anecdotal evidence. I take no responsibility for bricked devices. I am also not afilliated with O2, Quanta, HP or M$, because they have lately earned my utter disrespect.
*DISCLAIMER2: THIS IS ASSUMING YOU ARE USING A NORMAL ATOM. Not Life, not Stealth (that ain't no Atom), and not Exec. Just an Atom or an A-pure. I also have no idea what board version I have, but I do know it's one of the first releases of the device.
Here's what I did. I simply ran the Atom Exec DSUU (NOT the Atom one, the hacked Exec one you're probably using) all over again - on my device - while connected. If I'm reaaaal lucky, and I'm real lucky often, (especially if I leave my SIM in the device), I'll get a message "ExtROM Format Fail" right in the middle.
A reboot of the device at that point will render it in bootload mode, with just big text in the middle. IN THIS BOOTLOAD MODE, YOU CAN FLASH WITH ANYTHING, and the device won't complain AT ALL (At least that's what it seems). And yes, it connects via USB, and detects the USB connection. I don't think you even need Async running (hmm...some hidden USBHost functionality?), but I had mine in the background.
So I ran the original, unhacked 0426-mot0822 ROM upgrade - and it ran (it thought it was flashing into ROM version 0). In my case, it ended up not quite formatting the ExtROM correctly first time - because I didn't think my SIM was interfering with the ExtROM flash process until the third time. But I have my old ROM back now, 100% working - just keep trying the flash procedure again and again until the ExtROM finally goes through, and the rest of the stuff completes.
Hope it helps.

I never experience this. Still, don't know how to revert back to Atom ROM.
Boatloader
I had the same problem but just entered boatlaoder and flashed the original ROM of Atom Pure, however, kept praying like hell till my Atom Pure rebooted with original ROM.

After changing to EXEC ROM, my Bluetooth cannot transfer files anymore.
Also, there are many other problems such as auto-rebooting and hanging at times of exchanging calls. Battery life drains out faster than normal. Basically the ROM is unstable.
Now, I previously read somewhere in this forum that we need to hold onto the camera button while hard-resetting the phone in order to get into bootloader and then dump the original ATOM ROM into the phone. But it didn't work when I tried it and now my phone's a little more screwed.
Did I get the procedure wrong? I couldn't find the old thread anymore, so hoping some bros out there can advise me what is the correct procedure.
Much appreciated.

Where can I find an original ROM of Atom Pure? Please help.
Jamez. I'm also experiencing hanging. Plus contrast problem and not charging on AC.
To others, what is really the difference in hardware between Atom and Atom Exec?
You can get the original ROM from O2's website.
I do have contrast problems but not the charging one.
Any bros out there to help us out???
Read this from other forum. Has anyone tried this procedure?
1.Before flash job done, backup all the things 1st
2.Then unplug the mini USB (must) and take off the memory card (it isn't matter)
3. Click the Camera button + reset button at the same time. U will see your Atom come to DSUU mode/Bootloader. it seem same interface as the command prompt at Win XP.
4. plug-in the Mini USB and can start flashing ROM.
(This method can flash to other language, but do it own risk, warrantly not covered)
Doesn't work!

Thanks very much for the effort bro. It still doesn't work.
I followed exactly but after I tried to dump in the ROM, the bootloader shows "USB connection failed". This is getting frustrating!!!
Hi guys,
I'm a newbie to the forum and for starters I want to apologise if I'm in the wrong section!
My question:- I want to upgrade WM6 to WM6.1 with the cube effect, what I want to know is where to find the right ROM? My ROM version is 3.4.
If I'm missing anything, can someone please let me know so I can update you guys!
Thanks in advance!
hello,
i've tested a few of the new roms thats floating around on this forum and so far for me the best has been the Ooops Black rom,,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=401062
i had to unlock my CID first using the USPL program and once i'd done that i could flash the custom rom,.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=308242
there's loads of really good roms available so just test until you find the one thats good for you.
Good Luck
i've unlocked the CID and downloaded the new ROM, but when i run the exe file that us ARTEMIS CUSTOMRUU error comes "the application failed to initialize properly (0x0000135)" now what to do?? how to run the exe file???
Are you using windowsXP??
i couldn't flash it with vista but when i used my laptop that had windows XP on and ran active sync to sync the device it worked no problem..
you have to have it sync'd with active sync.
hope this helps!
sometimes i find that if i put the device in to boot loader it works
so try update, it fails, stick device in to bootloader mode an try again.
thanks you very much
the error came on my pc becuse it did'nt had .Net framework installed..
after installin it everything went smoothly...
I have flashed my orbit with Oops Black ROM, although its very fast,but it has several bugs!! are there any better ROM's floating in this forum?? and if i want to restore my original Orbit WM6.0 OS what shud i do???
what type of bugs have you noticed?
mines running perfect!
yeah there's loads of roms available in the Windows Mobile 6 section of the Artemis forum.
you should have no problem upgrading to any rom available now.
@KevandLynds
Here are some bugs which i found
-> When using mouse mode, the pointer gets disappeared after sometime.
-> When Sliding your finger upwards (like when u wanna start that touchflo3D cube) an error comes and you have to restart the phone
-> Unable to view videos in Picture and Video tool.. although u can view pictures.
-> Cannot add menu items.
some of those are touch flo problems, 6.1 by its self it very good in my opinion, dont have any issues except that if i do a soft rest whilst plugged in to and synced with a PC it wont sync afterwards, need to rest unplugged, bizzar but doesnt happen to often
Guys I'm geting a 270 error.
I've hard reset the artemis and tried it, still doesn't make a difference!
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance guys

must be the biggest piece of crap sofware yet stops your phone working and cant put any programs on phone avoid this one
I have an HTC P3600 and I upgraded to WM6.1 succesfully. but I have been trying to upgrade to WM6.5 for over aweek now i have tried everything but its not working.
Each time i connect to a PC i run into problems connecting to activesync on my win XP desktop.
The same thing happens with my 2 Vista laptopsh and when i finaaly get it connected. Each time i try to install WM6.5 by running the RUU, it disconnects after it gets to the point where it says "update".
Can anyone help me solve this problem.
Thanks in advance.
Have you got Hard SPL installed? I say this because i went from cooked rom to original and it changed from olipro to official. Also i have been reading that a good way to flash is from memory card.There is a guide somewhere round here.
I have hard SPL installed. Were you able to successfully upgrade yours to WM6.5?
and is it possible to show me how you did it step by step if you can.
i had given up on getting a reply so i decided to stick with the WM6.1 i have, but if you can help me upgrade i would greatly appreciate it.
thanks a zillion
i upgraded mine by flashing the same way as i flashed any other 6.1 or 6.0 ROMs. Maybe you should try another 6.5 ROM and see if that work
Don't want to sound daft, but are you putting it into bootloader first? I did it that way rather than let the computer do it. Also i haven't flashed 6.5 as i am happy with 6.1 at the moment.
Also i have read that flashing with vista requires extra steps.
I Upgraded mine OK.
I couldn't get the flash update to work from Windows 7, but it worked fine when I reverted to running it from Vista. Ran the normal upgrade process from the PC, same as for previous 6.1 upgrades.
can you tell me which 6.5 rom you used, so i can try it probably i'm using the wrong one.
thanks
Just wildguessing, but maybe you could try altering 'enable advanced network functionality' in the 'USB to PC' setting.
BTW I use Chanvi latest 6.5 ROM and it works great. Now I'm waiting for his Utralite version, so I probably get the best ROM to be used with PointUI.
I think p3600 is to slow to wm 6.5
thanks everyone. But after countless unsuccessful tries, i finally deicded to give it up.
So i bought the Touch HD instead. Hopefully it will be easier to upgrade that to WinMo 6.5.
cheers!!!!!
Hi,
Help me please just me and that happens to me the mistakes my God.... I had the original ROM version coming with my diamond2, put the upgrading and went well until the moment he arrived at 9% and restart the pda, re-install I think is normal, however the installation continued until k stopped in 18% and after a long time gave a notice of error (262) made the recovery as recommended and continues to give error ....
I do help me please
This just happened to me too
My phone was hardspl´d
It stuck at 18%, but no error message so far. Did you unplug your phone?
Read this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=425913
I'm not sure. Have you flashed other roms before? Perhaps you have a bad download. I know the servers are overloaded from all of us geeks sucking down the WM6.5 rom... perhaps its bad.
What I normally do is put the phone in bootloader mode first by holding VolDown, while resetting the phone. This will give windows time to install the proper drivers and get situated. Once done, try flashing again.
I think 262 is a connection error. Probably driver related since you said you ran your stock rom. But check your cable. Make sure its secure and reliable. Next try another USB slot. If nothing else try a different computer... sometimes PCs just will not cooperate.
Thank you very much fighter, will try that.
I had Official 6.1 Asia WWE installed, HARDSPLed. Tried to upgrade to 6.5 on my computer and my laptop, nothing worked. Both stops at 9%, disconnects, comes back and stucks at 18% again. Had to go back to 6.1, this time it worked to bring phone to life.
My phone was bought in Taiwan.
Guess I am out of luck
I think the best way to upgrade is as follows:
1. Run the RUU_Topaz_S_HTC_WWE_2.16.405.4_Radio_Sign_Topaz_61.44tc.25.32_4.49.25.17_Ship.exe on your PC/laptop to extract and get the RUU-signed.nbh.
2. Copy the RUU-signed.nbh to topaz SD card and rename to topaimg.nbh
3. Upgrade new ROM from SD card.
I had the same 262 error as well, screen went blank for a second at 9% and finally freezez at 18% with the error message. Heres what you need to do:
Update your HardSPL to 1.83
Flash 6.5 again
????
Profit!
Hello,
already did everything you say and nothing. I liked to tell me where I can get the former Rom wm6.1 because meeting.

When you run the RUU, the RUU-signed.nbh will be extract temporarily to a folder in driver C:
(For me: C:\Users\Duongla\AppData\Local\Temp\pft51D9.tmp)
Just do a search and you'll find it.
And remember to HSPL to 1.83.
i have the same problem too

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?
