I have only just got my XDA Orbit and its currently running Black&Blue V5.0 WWE.
I am happy with this for now but just had a question regarding bricking.
After a bit of searching I found this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=314866&page=2
I take it if I was flashing the ROM with a new version, had problems and bricked it, I could use this to fix it again instead of sending it off and having it repaired?
Thanks for the help so far.

Halo to all!
How would you feel like if you have brend new Xda Orbit waiting on your desk stucked to boot loader level? It is qute stupid situation and I have got no solution till this day. The problem is that I flashed my device with extended rom and now I can not boot my device any more or go to Active Sync level. My device is from Germany and I need Original GERMAN ROM to reflash it again and unlock it via imei-check procedure... Is anyone in this world KNOW WHERE can one download XDA ORBIT GERMAN ROM. Is anyone in this world have this ROM?
Does anyone knows procedure to reflash this device with any rom and return back to life this nice machine? I have been waiting for this situation for 45 days ;(
Thank you in advance,
Salut from Belgrade
O2 German or UK rom doesn't exist on the web. Try to install TMUK rom (I've solved with it, but my orbit was unlocked by imeicheck).
other chance is to send it in assistance...
I returned the Orbit to the o2 shop and they gave me a new one.
I isn't the nicest way but it solved my problem. And o2 can flash the device and sell it for new i think...
I know I know search, I did, and all i found was cooked roms. im sending this phone to cingulair for repairs and they cant know its unlocked. I need the original CINGULAIR rom for the 8525 ASAP! thank you so much

Hi
Sorry if this is a newb question and I've missed something obvious.
I'd like to upgrade an O2 branded hd2 to the generic latest ROM using the goldcard method described here. I understand this invalidates the warranty.
Is there any way of restoring the phone to its original state to circumvent this?
Thanks.
I would like to know this as well as im thinking of sending back my HD2 to o2 but cant as ive upgraded to 1.48.
Or is it worth sending back as it is now and then play dumb if they contact me to tell me its not got the original stock rom?
im with T-Mobile and upgrade it on ROM: 1.48.405.2 (71294) WWE - Radio: 2.05.51.05_2 last weeks and never had any prob yet and sim card works fine
Dump your ROM before upgrading. For how to do that search on the forum.
I'm also with O2, & they told me that as long as the ROM is an official one from the HTC website this won't invalidate your warranty
Not sure what the policy is with T-Mobile though
I did find a O2 rom on here somewhere, cant remember where, I havent used it yet, but im uploading it to rapidshare now and will provide a link. So if anything does go wrong you can just flash back to the O2 rom to be on the safe side.
I have returned a phone to O2 before that was HSPLed and they never said anything, but they sent out a new phone and picked up the old one at the same time.
O2 Rom...

Hi chaps
As the title says....
I installed the HSPL, all went well (exactly as the youtube vid and xda forums suggested)
But i still get the "not suitable" error on the HTC site.
Ive tried both uk and europe sites but still no luck !
Whats up !?
Anybody have a solution or idea of what im doing wrong ?
Hope someone can help !!
Cheers
EDIT: it's an o2 phone on 1.43.206.4
Chris
your problem is that your serial don't change just because you flashed hspl. hspl just allows you to install other roms. you need to find the rom elsewhere or find a serial from someone with an unlocked phone.
you should start your search in the official roms thread in rom development section.
Problem solved !
SWEET!
Goodbye 1.43 (hobbled o2 software)
Hello 1.66
heh good job.
Hi,
This is a newbie question. I bought a second hand Cruise running 6.0. I could not find the official rom upgrade to 6.1 but have since discovered the device was originally from Singapore and have found it on the HTC Singapore site.
I have already installed HardSPL as I was going to try some of the ROMs here. Will the official upgrade work with HardSPL?
I don't want to just try and see and would appreciate some advice before going any further.
EDIT
Ok worked it out. All went well
Hi could you tell me how you installed hard SPL? And where you found the ROM. Thanks.
this may be a bit late. I found the rom on the singapor htc website. I just typed in my serial number.
as to hspl i followed the guide
Get the Polaris/HTC Touch Cruise/P3650 - HardSPL & Sim unlocker in
