Hi, this is my very first post here, in the best site/forum on the internet about PDA.
Here's my doubt: I have an Artemis With WM 6.0 in Portuguese. I want to take my risks in the world of cooked roms and i want to try the artemis touch 4.02, wich it is in english. As I read, we just have to run the USPL and than flash with any rom. Am I right?
Second question is: I have a portuguese rom or at least an extended rom. My question is: I flash my artemis with the english artemis touch 4.02 rom, supose that I don't like it or something else and want to return to my portuguese rom I can use the extended portuguese rom that I have?
Something like this:
1.Original Portuguese Rom
2.Flash with the english artemis touch 4.02
3.Get back to portuguese with extended portuguese rom that I have.
Can I do this 3 steps if I wish so? And if I do all those 3 steps will I loose my warranty?
Congratulations for the amazing comunity...

Don't forget to remove any passwords before you flash the new rom. And it is essential that you flash USPL before you flash a new rom. I made the following order, to success:
1-SIM unlock (definitive)
2-Temporary CID unlock through USPL (CID locks again after next step)
3-Flash a new rom. In my case, I'm using Oops Black v1.
Regarding the other questions, as far as I know, once you flash a new rom, you loose the old one.
And at last but not least, if you mess with it, you can always tell them you did nothing to it. I just don't know if they will believe you.

Thanks for the quick answer and yes, I know I will loose the rom inside the pda, but I have a file with about 51Mb downloaded from the htc website named: "HTC_P3300_PTG_3.13.410.1_4.1.13.44_02.94.90_Ship_R".
I just don't know if it is a rom or an extended rom, in fact I don't even know the real diferences beteween this 2 concepts...
My question is after I flash with "artemis touch 4.02", can I run USPL again and flash back to this rom? (supposely my original one)

Sure. you can allways get back to your original ROM (if you didn't had any problem in the midle of the process). Sometimes when you have problems with the flashing process, that will be you only chance.
The file that you've download is a ROM where you have the OS.
The extended ROM normally is only for add-ons.

Hello!
The ROMs which are here posted, are all english?
Is there a way to get ROM which are in german, so i have an german GUI?
Just to say thanks to all on this forum. This, because of my very first rom flashing. And guess what? It went very well. No problems at all!!!!
All because of the amazing people that is here everyday trying to make the pda's world more simple for everyone.
By the way, congratulations to the "cooker" of Artemis Touch 4.02. It is a wonderfull rom, with everything that i use to install as third party software and many more and all this with a lot of ram free. It is very stable, fast and very good looking!
So, Thank You All!!!

Hi to all. I flashed my artemis 2 months ago with touch 4.02, everything is fine until now. But i have the same question as above. If i want to flash my artemis with the original rom and radio version, is there any way to lock it again, so that nobody in the service understand that i flashed it in the past?
Arte200 for Artemis touch 4.02
Hi all, i like upgrade for 4.02, but I don't know. Help me.

I'm searching for the original german ROM for Polaris. In the ROM Section there is only O2 Version of it.
I am searching for it too...
i dumped mine. but i did not yet reflash it. i can upload it if you want to test it. but at your own risk.
ID: POLA100
ROM: 1.25.407.1 GER (12/17/07)
RADIO: 1.58.21.23
PROTO: 25.65.30.04H
SPL: 1.25.0000
CPLD: 2
Ok, pls upload, this is my last try.
http://rapidshare.com/files/102226089/RUU_signed.7z
it is the dumped OS, maybe its ok for all.
@ daze81
And, have you tried the image? Does it work?
had to search the tools for updating the rom with your version (after i tried the wm6.1 version
i let you know next days ...
thanks
cu camel
thanks would like to know if it works
Well, if the SPL isnt included, you basically can't brick your device (I might be mistaken about that though ). Youll always be able to fall back to the bootloader (multi color screen) and then just reflash a working ROM.
ok, there is no SPL included. i just dumped the original OS and rebuilded it. nothing else.
I guess I gonna give it a quick shot before I flash the next bepe... unless somebody else is first and confirms your working backup before I get the chance to do so.
Did anybody try?
Hi to all!
Did anybody try the original german Polaris dump (http://rapidshare.com/files/102226089/RUU_signed.7z)?
Or does anybody have a working original german ROM?
I don't want to flash another ROM before I don't have a working "backup" for warranty issues.

the user hyson told me that this rom seems to work. i did not test it for myself yet.
you'll need hard-spl and a custom ruu to flash it. then you can go back to original spl.

Thanks for the information! Let's trust Hyson
@ Schaggo: sorry for full quote, but I have to say thanks for both information....
I got fed up with those cooked ROMs. I'm downloading and flashing the dazes dump (thanks bro!) right now. I'll report how dead my orbit is afterwards...
<edit hmm... yeah, it's looking good. Its booting, definitively German and everything seems in order... />
The ROM looks good ... seems to indeed be the orig. German ROM.
But what Radio ROM did Daze81's Polaris have ?
Since I may have to return my Polaris to HTC for repair, I want to make sure it's the way it was before I used some cooked ROMs. (And I can't remember what Radio ROM it had ).
Cheers,
Andreas
It has no Radio included. And if you want to go for warranty, you can reflash Radio 1.58.21.23 which was the original Radio.
You'll find it in the original German orbit 2 ROM thread which is linked in my signature. I provided the Radio as well in the other thread...
Schaggo,
thanks for the info and the link !
Cheers,
Andreas
dumped german rom
excuse me, how do i flash the xxxxx.7z file?? must I unzip it in any way??
thank you for answering
www.7zip.org is the tool of your choice. use the file inside this archive with Custom_RUU for example.

Unlock it to SPL 1.2, then try out any of the WM6 WWE stock ROM. Think carefully and beware of the consequence of unlocking to spl3.5, cause it is a way of no return, at least for now and may be a long long time to come.

I love Pizza but I know, Pizza is the end of a looong trail, and you are just in the middle of the beginning ,
If you want to change language or vendor ID, or just to flash ANY rom you like (even an ORIGINAL HTC Sauerkraut version ), do you need to change the SPL. In this way your device will became SUPERCID (or just the flashing process jumps over the CID info).
Your ATHENA has ITALIAN LANGUAGE hard coded into the SPL and you can't change it without affecting the SPL (Language id and Vendor id are the CID and SUPERCID means... joker)
Use ATHENA WRAPPER, from OLIPRO (donate if you like) from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=316846.
ATHENA UNLOCKER is just for SIM unlocking too
After this stage you will have a new SPL called HARDSPL (because it is hard coded, is IN the ROM), and the flashing process will be free for all ROMs. Your SPL will be 1.2
Original ATHENA ROM is a WM5 rom, the UPDATE is a WM6
From HERE http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=397518 you will find the newest ROM, the German listed is WM6.0 , the other are WM6.1 (no official WM6.1 for athena).
If you choose from that list the AP4 your device will have a newly partioned ROM, called SPL 3.5 and in the next future you can't use neither original HTC ROMs nor cooked 1.2 SPL ROMs. The only advantage in SPL 3.5 is the capability to use AP4 and AP5 (it needs more ROM space)
Happy flashing
Thanks a lot,I did it and it works perfectly now,i love this forum
Yesterday when I bougth the machine,I didn't check nothing about getting a new rom because I knew the forum for quite a long time
Thanks again
Hello everybody,
I have bought my new HTC HD2 from Vodafone Germany. I live in Germany and ,as all windows devices, my HTC is localized to Germany and the windows mobile 6.5 comes with the German language and I wanted to change it to English. I tried to download the ROM upgrade to "English-Arabic support" from HTC website but when I put the serial number of my device it says that this version is not suitable for your device and I have found another version "RUU_Leo_HTC_WWE_1.48.405.2_Radio_Signed_15.28.50.07U_2.05.51.05_2_Ship.exe" and when I tried to install it I got an error says "INVALID Vendor ID" or something like this.
Finally I have bought a 3ed party software just to be enabled to read arabic but the language is still German
So please if anybody knows how to solve this problem and help me I will be thankful.
Best Regards,
Amer
install hspl then instal whichever run you like via usb.
i had the same probs here with vodaphone uk...
as above, install hspl, the sticky of this can be found in the leo roms section of this site and it will guide you, but the installation process is really straight forward.. then you are able to install any of the ROMS, be they official OR custom cooked roms..
My personal favourite is the ENERGY series of roms.. but have a good look about, im sure you will find many that offer the practicality and versatility your after!

Hi Ell_H,
Thank you very much for your reply and I have read about HSPL and it sounds amazing tool but another question about restoring the old system. How can I get the original ROM and restore the system to its old state after changing it?
Thanks in advanced.

You need to find the original rom for your phone, both region AND provider(if you were getting invalid serial on teh htc website then your phone is provider locked, so for example you would need to look for the german t mobile rom, if you got your phone from t mobile germany)
Once you have your original rom you can then use sd card method to remove hspl and restore to factory rom. You can only do this with your original shipped rom.
Problem upgradind German Vodafone ROM
Hi,
I have the same problem upgrading the Vodafone ROM. I would like to load the generic ROM or any other ROM that works with Vodafone. It can be English as well. If I try to load the generic through HTC site it checks the SN and doesn't allow the ROM upgrade.
What to do to load another up to date ROM without running into the same issue as Amer? There are so many ROM version out there and I don't want to risk trying the wrong ROM.
Thanks for help!

You need to obtain the rom from vodafone, or use HSPL / Gold Card to flash another ROM.
Thx for answer. I read about HSPL and will figure that out. I read there are requirements concerning the radio. My radio is 2.04.50.22_2 and ssems pretty old. Does someone know where to find the best guide how to do the HSPL install?
There are many ROMS out there and I want to make sure I will not run into trouble using it with Vada. What ROM to take is the question?
Danke!

I have a brand new XDA orbit 2, which is offered with a warranty by the supplier.
I put the O2 official WM6.1 upgrade on it (RUU_Polaris_O2_UK_3.13.206.0_radio_sign_25.85.30.07_1.59.42.15_Ship.exe) which flashed fine.
I intend to try one or more of the many great sounding WM 6.5 rom images, however, I have a few questions, mainly related to SPL/HardSPL, which although I have done a bit of searching for, have not found definitive answers for ...
Are there any differences between POLA100 and POLA200 devices (will HardSPL work fine on my XDA Orbit 2 / POLA200).
How can I restore the original SPL on the device?
Can I extract the original SPL from a) the device, b) the ROM image, c) source elsewhere?
With HardSPL installed can I reinstall the official upgrade rom with HardSPL still in place (in case of stability problems, with rom images).
Also - anything else I should be thinking about before flashing this device (note I am going deactivate copilot before flashing)?
Apologies if I missed the answers in other posts!
TIA

1. yes...main difference is touch cruise...polaris 100...o2 oribit 2 polaris 200
2.yes you can...flash original spl
3. don´t think so
4. now problem...but after you flashed original rom
so try:
look on my rom thread under steps: there is all you need
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=593750
but all the other rom´s here are also great: eg: pcarvalho´s...kosta´s...salvy.c.83´s and FW-eXXon´s rom´s
big thanks to all of them
edit: i saw this will HardSPL work fine on my XDA Orbit 2 / POLA200).
Are you german or...??? it´s not so important but if you are german look here for a german rom:

Thanks for the reply... Sorry to be slow, but...
>1. yes...main difference is touch cruise...polaris 100...o2 oribit 2 polaris 200
Is that significant technically, which is what I did not say very well?
>2.yes you can...flash original spl
>3. don´t think so
How do you flash the original SPL then (I am v. newb!)? I don't have that (other than on the device itself).
>4. now problem...but after you flashed original rom
The original rom has been flashed (over) with the official update, I am not really getting the point here? Do you mean my orignal O2 uk WM 6.0 or the original referenced from your thread (RUU_Polaris_HKCSL_WWE_3.19.831.3_radio_sign_25.85.30.07_1.59.42.15_Ship)?
Thanks for the pointer to you rom thread which looks very useful (I am from UK BTW)

Good morning,
I'm here in HK for a long period and I'd like to buy a HTC HD2 here that is cheaper than in Italy.
My only concern is that if I can flash it without problem in order to use a new cooked ROM in italian .
What does it mean WWE ? I read WWE in some ROM but I don't known what it means
Thanks
Hi friend, WWE stands for world wide English....I also bought my HD2 from Hongkong, and the original ROM installed is also the WWE version, means everything is in English, not in Hongkong's native language...Flashing to another ROM is not a problem, just make sure you follow the procedure correctly (HSPL, etc..etc...)
Thanks...but can you tell me about correct procedure to flash ? I want to avoid any kind of serious problem
all in the stickies at the top of this forum, with videos
OK thanks...but the right steps are : flash with new spl or hpsl and then fals new rom (if I want to use Artemis rom wich SPL/HSPL flash have I to use ?
Thanks
Soon, I would be in Uk too. Which is the carrier who offers the mobile at a lower price -and which is the lower price-??Many thanks!!
