S: Original HTC Polaris ROM German

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.

O2 Orbit 2 Flash?

Hi Guys,
I'm new to this forum, Yesterday i went out and brought the O2 Orbit 2. Do you lot recommend that i flash the ROM to the latest on this forum or is that a big No No?
It just seems that reading all the threads on here there's a lot of improvement and customization to this model.
Current set-up (from out of the box)
ROM: V 1.25.206.3 WWE
ROM Date: 01/03/08
Radio: 1.58.25.14
Protocol: 25.69.30.05H
Many Thanks,

As long as you follow the guidelines on the bulletin board flashing is a painless process so try some of the different ROMs if they look like they offer you features you want/need.
I tend to use the 'Black and Blue' ROMs on my Orbits but am still 'playing' with ROMs on my Orbit 2

i have got a german o2 phone, too.
flashing bepe without problems. (after hardspl)

I've got an UK O2 Orbit 2, I tried some roms: Bepe's, udK's, ViVi and a coupple more.
Very good job, but follow the guidelines in the HardSPL threads, very important!

No sim?
Flashed with bepe's rom, I must say great ROM. But after trying out udK 8.0 R1 Vega. i know get a message with "No Sim"
I've checked all the oblivious.

Sir did you manage to get other ROM to orbit 2 ?
And what is this?
I think there is no way to flash other ROM into this unit.....

I'm sorry, but Ididn't understand your reply. Maybe due to poor English knoledge
At the moment I tried: Bepe .67, one of PDAViet, udK Vega and Diamond.
I had no particular problem with all of them. I think the choice is a personal affair, like buying some cloth

Dear Sir , thank you for your answer.
I have the doubt that I can't install any other ROM except O2 in this device.
Now I am sure that any ROM which is for Polaris-Cruise , can install to Orbit.
So I am ready to start the experiments....
Can you inform me which is the best of them and a link?

Help on Rom for Artemis

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?

Hi all, i like upgrade for 4.02, but I don't know. Help me.

Now is my Question: i want to flash my rom because its WM 6.1 and i heared alot of great things about WM 6.5 is that trough ?
Also if i flash my HTC TOUCH HD, will my simlock dissapear or something ?
Cause on my last phones it was, i flashed it and i needed to unlock it again and more headache.
Is it normal that the simlock will reactivate if its flashed to WM6.5 ??
If the htc still unlocked.
Which ROM you all will advice me ? i really prefer Dutch roms, but english roms are also oke.
and also tell me why, so i can get all the benefits of it
Im not a beginner in flashing of phones but flashing of HTC's i am.
I only did it once as far as i can remember and that was on a P3300 a very old model, So if there is also a little manual i will be very thankfull.
Thank you all,

Hi biggie89,
Yes, the good news is that there have been many advancements and improvements to the Windows Mobile OS in version 6.5, such as having a more finger friendly User Interface - providing you with a much neater and tidy user experience. Speed varies depending on which 6.5/6.5.x ROM you choose to install and you will be glad to know that both Dutch and English ROMs are available for download
The bad news is that if you flash your HD in it's current state (simlocked), then I am afraid that this is unlikely to work until you get your SIM unlocked as the simlock is controlled by the baseband. Data is stored there too and flashing the radio or ROM will not have any effect on the simlock. Therefore, I would advise you to have it unlocked before you begin the flashing process.
Here is a guide that you can read to make you more aware of how to flash a Touch HD ROM. Essentially, what you must do first is unlock your phone using either Hard-SPL or USPL.
You can also see this link as it details what the latest ROM builds offer in terms of stability and performance.
I think it would be a little unfair to say which ROM is best especiallly for the people who create these custom ROMs. Each ROM is different in their own little way i.e. one ROM might be fast but a little unstable, another may be stable but a little slow, etc... The best thing you can do is try out different ROMs (Dutch or English versions) yourself and try to discover which one meets your needs.
Note: when you get to the stage of downloading a ROM, to find a Dutch based ROM, simply look at the headings of the ROMs listed from this link. Dutch ROMs include the abbreviation NLD in their title [NLD = Netherlands], and English ROMs have WWE in the title [WWE = World Wide English].
I hope this helps you out.
Regards.

Mastoid is correct. Flashing to a new rom, even if you use hspl, will unfortunately not unlock the sim.
There are tools that can do that, but it is not free. You can try this one which seems to be popular and effective.

Hi all and thanks for your reply on my message..
My htc HD works now with my vodafone NL simcard so its not simlocked or something i think i wrote my question wrong..
Im scared if i FLash my rom that the unlocking of my device comes back, So i can't use my vodafone NL simcard with it.
Is that possible ??
the current state is unlocked or locked with vodafone i dont know for sure but you guys tell me that if i FLASH my rom now i still can use my vodafone NL simcard ???
if that is the way i will flash my rom in to a nice ROM that u guys told me to do..
the thing what i want to is..
USE my vodafone NL simcard with my htc touch HD like now but with a different ROM.
my htc touch HD is working great with WM 6.1 with a vodafone NL simcard.
so im still confused with the simcard if it will work.
do you guys think that it will work with WM6.5 ??

Flashing a rom does not affect the status of the simcard so it will still work. Just follow the Dummies Guide (link by Mastoid above) and you'll be fine

ROM Upgrade for HTC HD2 Vodafone Branding

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!
