First of all THANK YOU all of the Great Minds of XDA Developers for all the support and great work you do for us!
a lot of your work, support and software and advice has been priceless help!
Any way no ass kissing here, just wanted to say thank you. ...and ask for help. As you probably know, there has been a lot of problems and issues with Prophet. (and very little or NO support and from manufacture and from providers. and there is not much available from xda developers forum users on this device. Though there has been great amount of support on any other devices. which has made me a happy user of Magician. But to cut it short, PLEASE HELPPPPPPP with Prophet!!! I can't reflash my XDA Neo with new WWE rom due to CID (vendor ID) error! It comes with german rom and I don't read german but love the phone! (and stuck with 2 year contract!) I tried aWisard utility numerus times in hopes that it would work despite the design for different device. I tried all kinds of roms available out there with no luck. and ofcourse HTC or O2 wouldn't help in any way! (different O2 support
techs said to me that I couldn't flash my Magician with WWE rom becouse it would kill the device! And I had it flashed in all the possible languages!) Any way, my magician is now a history (sold) and my new prophet is great pain in a ass!
Do you guys think you could help all of the xda community (and unlucky suckers) out here and help us overcome CID error so we can update/change our roms? (and screw the HTC, Qtek, Imate and O2 for such a poor support!)
I would greatly appreciate it! and it goes from all of us!
Hello dear all,
Just bought a P3300 today. (I am a noob at these things) After talking to the salesperson, he ensured that I will be able to change the language to English, I bought it. I plugged in the charger and found out that the device is in French.
After downloading all upgrades possible from this site. I still can not change the ROM. Invalid Vendor ID. Some people say that I need to upgrade the bootloader.
Not sure if this can be done on the artemis, or perhaps there just isnt anyone who has done it yet. At least I cant find the information.
Tomorrow I have to go back to the store and fight about returning this unit.
My advise is, buy this device in the correct language from the beginning.
If someone knows how to change the ROM when this happens before tomorrow, I would appriciate it dearly.
Regards,
Johan
well, by flashing your device from French to English ROM (WWE) you will immediatelly invalidate your warranty. carefull now!
Just my 2cents...
I dont really care about the warranty.. All I wanted was my phone in English. I will be able to get a new phone, with the contract that I have got with my supplier. But you know how it is, you get a new toy, you want to play with it.
Why not have it exchanged with an English version?
I have same situation. How you find solution?
gee, here we go once again:
in order to be able to change the language on your device you MUST reflash with an english rom from a compatible device.
This though is only possible once your device is CID unlocked; a special security section in your device.
Only known way to do this is via http://www.imei-check.co.uk/c3unlock.php
and costs (apx. EUR 28.00 / USD 38.00).
After this unlocking you can flash the tmouk and dopod rom (all wwe) from the wiki. ( at least on all artemis and all hero)
If you do not cid unlock, you will get "wrong modelID"

good work,now we need only UNL code ....
The UNL File is unique for every IMEI and flashes only the Device that has this IMEI. The Unlocker for the Hermes was very well done, because some smart people reversed the process from imei-check.co.uk and wrote a working program, but so far i think noone is making real adavances in this matter, so if you desperately need your device CID Unlocked, only way for you is pay imei-check :/
for now.........
This is my first post so I hope the wolves will stay back. My post is for those of you who are new as I am. I bought the O2 Xda Orbit for Christmas and since it was my first PDA-, smart phone-, device, I did not realize that the language could not be changed until I got it home. After many calls to O2 both here in Germany and the UK, I tried my luck with HTC. HTC ofcourse, will not touch the phone since it is branded with the O2 logo. There are NO Orbits in Germany from O2 in the English language version. In desperation, I called Microsoft customer service and again met with a dead end although I was inpressed with the customer service person who desperately tried to help me. It was Microsoft that directed me to this site. I will try not to bore everyone with all the details, but here is what I found out.
You can not do ANYTHING with the phone until the "super lock" (aka CID lock) is "unlocked". I tried one of those cheap places that charge 7 pounds, and the numbers and methods they gave me do not work. (You get what you pay for.)
My advise to anyone who may be new to this and wants to proceed anyway, is to keep your nose to this forum. There is a website posted in this thread that recommends http://www.imei-check.co.uk/c3unlock.php. I plan on trying this site to unlock my phone and then the next step will be to wait for someone to develop a RUU for the Orbit or HTC 3300. This phone is new on the market and all the hacks and updates are just not there yet.
If the day comes that I feel brave, I plan on using the RUU named ARTE_DOPODAU_12570702_026990_WWE_SHIP also found on this site. I hooked it up to my Orbit and ran the program, but because the CID is not unlocked, I got the dreaded "INVALID MODEL ID" message.
In reading all the posts and following the threads, I know more about my phone than I ever thought was possible. The more you learn, the more you can weigh the risks versus the benefits, or what your chances are of success. This is now a hobby for me. I love reading about everyone else's "adventures" and I think there are valuable lessons to be learned in the trials of those who bravely go before us.
The only other option is for us all to pitch in and buy the phone for $599 from http://www.alibaba.com/catalog/11719610/Xda_Orbit_Brand_New_PDA.html. I think they are $399 if you buy 10. This is a great deal for those who's home country uses the Euro. This may be the source of all those "CID-unlocked" phones on Ebay! You have to ask yourself, where are these people getting these brand new phones, CID unlocked and in ENGLISH!
Should I crash my device, I am prepared to go to the HTC website and shell out the money for a device in English with TomTom and all the bells and whistles installed. It will be CID unlocked and I will have HTC behind me for customer service and be free to use my device to it's full potential. I will try to keep the newbies posted on my progress, but in the mean time, I will read the forum religiously everyday and learn as much as I can. Somebody out there has the ROM for my Orbit, and I know it's only a matter of time.....
Welcome to the forum KleineMaus. I honestly would like to congratulate you for not being one of those newcomers who don't introduce themselves and just post a question that has been asked a million times without first reading forum rules and searching, and expect an immediate answer.
Anyway, have fun here and hopefully we can all be of help.
gee my darling "kleinemaus",

Hi Kleine Maus,Did you manage to find any solution so far? I have bought a new HTC P3300 (I guess the same device gets called in 5 or 6 different ways) and with the Dutch OS I cannot do much with it! If anyone out there has any solution to bring this nice toy to communicate in good old English I would be very grateful indeed. Ciao, Siper

Hi, help,help,heip !!! need service manual,schematic diagram and exploded view for my Magician (O2 xda Mini) for repair.
my email [email protected] Russia
First of all, what you are looking for are normally proprietary documentation from HTC which is quite impossible to get unless you know someone from HTC and is willing to risk loosing his job. Secondly, google for it before posting.
xda o2 mini
WHETHER IT IS POSSIBLE TO FIND PARTIALLY? IN FACT ON OTHER MODELS IS. AND ON magician IS NOT PRESENT.
There's no need to shout!
good place to start is by browsing this sites wikki:
and if you ask nicely i might link it in this post for you,

Excuse for high tone, phone has broken in a month after the end of a guarantee.
hi
I get my i-mate PDAL last sunday, and upgrade it to wm6.
can anyone tell me my pdal is in Prophet catalog?
thanks.
No it is definitely not a prophet. (Just look at the picture next to this forum on the forums list)
In fact a quick look on pdadb.net reveals that it is not an HTC phone.
So please do not try to upgrade it using any ROMs for the Prophet because you will destroy your phone!
thank you first.
but i look for whole this forum ,and can't found any catalog like i-mate pdal. so, if i want to upgrade/change my wm6, where can i join?
As I wrote before - i-mate PDA-L is not made by HTC!
This forum deals with HTC phones, though sometimes discussion of other WM based devices like iPaq takes place in general forum.
So there is not and won't be a catalog for your device (sorry we can't open a sub forum for every phone out there).
I have not seen any such discussion on PDA-L and as far as I know no one is cooking ROMs for it.
You are welcome to ask in general forum and perhaps someone will give you more information then I can.
I'm so sorry that i don't know this forum is just talk about HTC machine.
I'll go to general forum for some answer what i need.
thank you again.
hi!
I'm looking for Rom for my Yakumo apha GPS. I would like to change language from german to french. Is it possible and lawful ?
Please,
I might be wrong but i think this foruns are HTC oriented.
And the tendencie is to work for innovation,not to keep museum pieces working smooth
But alot of good and friendly programers in here,you might get lucky.
