Updating Xda Orbit To Wm6.1 - P3300, MDA Compact III upgrading etc.

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

Okay! I'm completely lost!

I just got a Qtek 9100 from a friend.. He said it was an old test version of the device...
I only got the device and the charger.. Now, when i plug it into my PC, it can't recognize the device.. and the firmware is from 08/2005... so I kinda feel obligated to update them..
1. Is there some place where I could retrive some drivers or something for my computer to recognize my device?
2. I checked out the thread to see wether it's Q3 or Q4.. but my IPL is 0.34 and my SPL is also 0.34 (that's it!).. so i have no idea what upgrades to use.
3. Also the keyboard (I'm not talking about the on-screen keyboard.. I mean the one that you pull out..) on the device is swedish (scandinavian) but when i try pressing the button that says like Ä it acts as an english keyboard and a "/" appears... I'm swedish so i'd love if i could get some help fixing that
Thx~ kryX
Since you own the QTEK now you can sign up at the QTEK's homepage and download the latest ROM update for your device (even in swedish) http://www.myqtek.com/
The connection problem might be another one: maybe your friend installed a USER CREATED ROM - you still should be able to enter the boatloader mode!
There are plenty of threads in here about connection problems but finally it depends on your OS and the ROM version used! If you're running VISTA then you can forget flashing your device for the time being ... !
Go to wiki.xda-developers.com and studdy the WIZARD UPGRADE and UNLOCK section. This should get you started!

it won't accept my IMEI #... :/ and i'm using windows XP... it connects fine, just can't "get installed".. it appears on the screen that a new device has been found.. but it can't install it..
you mean to say that you can upgrade to a ROM that's in swedish even though you have a EN device?

you need to install Microsoft 'active sync' to get your ppc and pc communicating.
I just like to warn you to make BACKUP of your phone's firmware in case things go wrong. Don't become another 'cry baby' asking for 'urgent help' because the phone got bricked...
Do a search around to see what you need to make a backup and if your phone allows a full backup (must be CID unlocked)
good luck and welcome to forum
cheers

that worked perfectly.. thanks...
mestrini: thanks for the tip, backed it all up, and unlocked SIM and CID locks..now the big question is, is it a Q3 or a Q4??
EDIT: also, WHERE can i get the latest firmware? all the ftp's i've seen linked are down? :/
Take a look at this: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Wizard_Versions - to find out whether it is g3 or g4. then i suggest you start with a vanilla rom, Win 6 Pro 3.0 seems to be good now.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=309078. the download link for that is there along with the password
-Nstefanelli-
also, start out at the Wizard Wiki, it gives all of the information that you will need to know, and the rest are at the top of the forums with a "sticky" on them
good luck

I flashed it with that Win 6 pro thing.. (it was an OS ROM, right?) and now it doesn't boot anymore.. now my bootscreen shows
Wizard DVT
IPL 0.34
SPL 0.34
OS 4.0.0.0
it stays like that for quite a while then the screen goes white and it starts all over again.. should i just assume i flashed it incorrectly? because i dont know if that was a G3 flash or a G4 flash or what ever..
EDIT: wait.. third time the screen went white the bootscreen changed to the new one.. it kinda seems to have started now.. GREAT
You guys must be careful with the new WM6 ROMs since they are packed without IPL/SPL so that they can be used by people with CID locked G4 devices.
That means that people with IPL/SPL bellow 2.x must first upgrade the boot loaders to 2.xx/3.xx otherwise the new ROMs will most probably not work
you need an ipl/spl of 2.xx or higher to flash ANY WM6 rom
from the bootloader (hold down camera button while starting), flash the tmobile 2.26 factory rom to get a proper ipl/spl.

EDIT: nvm :/ it seems the phone is dead now.. it was all laggy when i finally got Win pro 6 to work... and it took like 5 whitscreens for it to finally get started... couldnt send any smses or anythin.. so i was gonna try turning it off and on again... when i tried turning it off the loading symbol appeared... and went on for like 10 minutes (at LEAST) so i thought i might aswell get som sleep.. when i woke up the phone was turned off.. and i tried starting it.. it just started for like one whitescreen then it died...
can't "bootloader-boot" it.. no light goes on when i stuck it in the charger or anything.. :/

just reading back, if you didn't know the answer to this question (above), you probably were not cid unlocked.
if the battery is dead (you left it on overnight?) you will need to charge it outside of the ppc, then try to get into bootloader, then flash the original operator's rom.
i wouldn't give up on anything that sells used for over £100 on ebay

no it hasn't, (this is a forum, not a help desk) i was just looking at it and trying to decide what, if anything to write, when my email showed another reply.
to be really honest, any question you can think of will already have been asked and answered several times in this forum - you just need to read (use Google to search this site). And that doesn't even cover the questions which you will want to ask when you begin to realize what your wizard is capable of
Swedish roms? - absolutely no idea. and so many people here are English speakers and i assume many non English/non Americans use an English language rom anyway
active sync? - try uninstalling and reinstalling, check the options, do they allow usb connections? i find AS sometimes changes options itself

Allright so i've come to realize i don't need a swedish ROM.. i just need to fix the hardware keyboard to act like a scandinavian one...
And it isn't AS that gives me trouble really.. the problem appears before activesync.. a USB icon appears and says it cannot recognize a device.. and when i click it i get a list of my USB devices and the one that has errors is written in bold... it sayd "Okänd enhet" (Unknown device).. and i can't seem to install the wizards drivers manually when i get that option.. cause i have no idea where to find them... :/

active sync is what should recognize your wizard. if your pc doesn't recognize your ppc, the only reason that I know of is because active sync is not installed or not working - have you uninstalled and reinstalled?

Need help to unbrick.

Hi im sorry i had to post this as its probably been asked over and over but ive searched forum and cant seem to find a working solution for me.
I updated my HTC Touch ELF with Onyx ROM after updating SPL etc and everything went fine but couldnt get a signal etc on phone so decided to go back to old rom that i made a backup of untill i had done more research and found the ROM i wanted.
Reflashed the backup rom build i made everything looked good untill i went to boot and it just powered off after the orange brand logo.
I cant do the goldcard method as i have no other phone that can take the card i do however have a adapter for my pc for the card.
Ive treid the ubrick thread but cant get mtty.exe to use usb port.
Can somebody help me out to get this up and going again, Sorry for posting this i know its probably been asked many times but cant seem to get it going and am a n00b on this subject really.
thnx.
[EDIT]
Just managed to get that unbricking rom installed and booted so am gunna try and flash my original dump again.
[EDIE2]
Seems it some problem with my original backup as just doesnt boot after brand logo, When building with HTC Rom tool other files are green but OS file stays black does that mean the OS file is bad?
the adapter for ur card wont work, u need a WM device to make the goldcard method.
what about this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=446242

Cant seem to get my original dump back on though
I originally just wanted to update to windows 6.1 but there isnt a official update can you recommend the best/most stable unofficial one to use?
take a look at onyx, tess, touch hd or aether. and if u feel brave, u can try letama which is WM 6.5 beta
tried the onyx and another but cant find network just keeps "searching..."
what radio do u have? try with 3.34 or 3.39
Thnx, Just noticed the updates and are going to update and retry.
thnx for help, appreciate it
Do they have them updates for the ELF, can only find those versions for ELFIN.
[EDIT] nm Noticed they are for either
Still having trouble with signal always searching, Installed latest radio version aswell.
[EDIT] whoops what a dumbass, I missed the pin entry at beginning which sometimes pops up but then boots into today screen if not enetered in time, finds signal straight away now

Great looks, wont denie that, but it's just not working for me.
If someone could help me return my T-mobile wing back to O.G. settings.
Please I would Greatly apprecitated!!!

I assume you flashed another ROM and not just installed TouchFlo onto your stock ROM? How did you flash the ROM, what ROM did you flash? Has the freezing always been this way since you flashed?
Sorry I can't give a ton of answers without more information.
ok ok .... to start out i'm a mayor nub when it comes to this..
onward, I saw a video on youtube with directions on how to flash your device...ok i plugged my T-mobile usb to my my laptop i downloaded a .rar file named "flashing with rapi enabled" It told me to put this rapi folder that was in the .rar file in my t-mobile documents,i extracted the file in desktop, double clicked it and this black box appeared with and started to to its thing.. thats it i think i flashed it DID I? The freezing started ever since i got it.
thanks for your prompt reply man appreciate it!!
Okay... The method you used is called a USPL flash. Is the device you are using a T-Mobile Wing?
EDIT: Just read your first post, nevermind about that question.
You have two choices here. You can flash back to the stock ROM... You can do this by downloading the T-Mo Stock ROM from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=321717 . Put the phone in bootloader by holding the camera button while pressing the stylus into the reset hole. Maker sure the phone is connected to your computer. Run the installer.
or
You can flash another ROM like JustStable v2 or JustHome. You can find more info here: http://thewingster.com/ivanmmj.aspx This is what I recommend as they are great and fast ROMs. A lot faster than the stock ROM. TO flash these, you can follow the same directions you saw in the video. Just replace the nbh file in the RUU folder with the one you download from that site. Note: You cannot flash any of the ROMs marked with LZX or Micro with the method you followed before
Thanks man! I honestly thank you!
just one last question:
on your NOTE ABOUT LZX OR MICRO ROMS how would i tell which is which? are the ROMS that you are recommending LZX OR MICRO? i really dont understand.
Thanks man!!

alright man u came to da right place
first if u still have ur touchflo rom installed then good
now hard reset the touchflo if it freezes try as many time as you can get to the point where it restarts
then when it restart connect ur wing to pc and download the pagepool size
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=JB2AC9FD
then open it (make sure active sync is enabled)
then open it there are couple of .nb and .bat files
open 6mb or 8mb (which changes the pagepool)
6mb is recommened
on ur wing it going to ask to open some file
(on custom roms it wont ask)
so after dat then it should exit itself
then disconnect usb from pc and reset ur wing (use a pen or something pointy to press the reset button on the left under volume button)
Well miltus, u just got ur wing back!!!!!!!!!!
trust me it wont freeze anymore on start up or anyway
it might freeze if you keep sliding it back and forth
it will freeze if TOO many programs running in backround example if 20 programs running then yes it will freeze.
oh yeah if u still have official rom (4.10.2.523 something like that)
then this will work, only it will be faster!!!
oh yeah say thinks!!!!!!!
thanks for the feed back man appreciate it!! but i changed the TouchFlo for another ROM named JUSTHOME WORKS GREAT!!!
Thank you for your help!!!

Help! my dopod is fUBAR

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?

[Q] Win 6.5 rom helppppp

hello
I need a rom of windows mobile 6.5 it was in english and it seemed like one of these
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=801481 here but at the button of home had one andorid logo not home it had 9slides like andorid do but i cant find it because flashed the rom withot making a back up does any one where to find it.
it had some extras like i could set musicplayer on the first screen,basicly i could set every thing on the desktop. can anyone help me?
I'm not certain, if you are looking for a custom ROM or just Cookies Home Tab CHT , which mainly is the tool to do all the setup, you mentioned.
Greets
yes i think that was a costum rom couse i bought the phone like that.. but now ill try to add this app..thank you
Or you can install nsourm's beautifull rom with CHT included from here
By the way, I'm using nsourm's custom ROM too
Im trying to install one of these roms but it can not be installed. i tryed from sd card too but it says loading...
and i cant install cht too and cookies because the clock and others become to big..
Can you describe the error a little more detailed? I was able to install nsourm's ROM without problems. Did you see the tri-colored screen already?
I tryed to install nsourm_rom_0409.nbh and all of them and cant be installed, i can install roms from shipped roms and those can be installed but this can not...it stuck at 0% and the rom from http://www.filefactory.com/ can not be downloaded Ive downloaded a old one .. couse this says: "All free download slots are in use. You can download this file immediately by upgrading to FileFactory Premium. Otherwise, please feel free to try again shortly. "
You gotta try multiple times, until you get a slot to download a newer version. I tried at least for half a day
The flashing itself worked, but I remember it took more than 10 minutes to finish.
Did I understood right, that you have flashed custom ROM's before?
Greets
I've downloaded the rom and when i try to install it gives me error 262 and it does not continues to be installed stays at 0% ..yes I'have flashed before... but i did not made a backup of that rom
thank you!
so can anyone help me how to put the rom couse it cant be upgraded
Just to be sure i understood your problem: Did you used SSPL with a custom ROM and it didn't work ? What OS do you have on PC ?
yes that is right...im using windows 7 ultimate .It can not be upgradet stays at 0% and then gives an error :S
EROR 262 you can solve this way
- Make shure battery is over 50%
- Soft-reset the device - Don't Skip This Step !
- If is on your PC installed Software-Firewall, Deactivate it (temporery,just to be sure, Reactivate FW later)
- Use orignal USB Kable. (usb data link cable)
- Right click on the RUU.EXE and click on Run as Administrator
- make sure, you choose ActiveSync profile upon connecting the phone to PC
- ActiveSync should be set up completely and Sync connections with Win7 PC should be working without problems before starting with a new ROM
okay thank you guys
