Niki200 question - Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus General

I got Tmobile MDA touch plus from a friend in UK. At the back it is written HTC Niki200.
I got unlocked the sim card for Turkey by using rom versions over internet help.
What kind of modifications, upgrades can I do ? such as
Windows Mobile 6.1
Wifi
GPs
etc...
I guess this forum is very helpfull but where do I start from?
Help is too much appreciated..
Thanks in adavnce folks..

No reply to my question ?
(((

The only restrictions for you are the hardware!
It means you cannot upgrade your device to use WLAN, has no built-in GPS and VGA-specific programms won't run on your device, all other things can be done with it!
Happy flashing!

Thanks bro...
I flashed it. now it left all stupid T-Mobile applications. I got a original HTC WWE wm6.1 now.

Artemis: Wifi after upgrading

Hi there,
I plan to flash my Dutch ROM (Artemis T-Mobile NL) with an English one. We are the lucky ones to have WiFi enabled functionality by default.
For anyone reading this forum, it is clear what are the steps to do that. Can some one tell me if the WiFi functionality is still implemented in the new ROM (DOPOD or HTC ...)
Cheers,
Resita
i think so,did the dopod and htc and can stil switch wifi on and of

CID unlock first before trying to flash a rom... Don't BRICK IT!!!
That's a holy device!
Thnx
i am running the dopod rom on my hero. seems all wifi stuff is there, but naturally not running on hero due to missing hardware.
WLAN
DOPOD ROM includes all WLAN functionality.

Many thanks
I can only say THANK YOU. I'll give it a shot this evening.

And, did it work?
I'm considering to do the same.

cid-unlock + simunlock + wm6 + touchflo on SPV M650?

hello,
first of all, sorry for my bad english.
1. I didn't found anything here about sim unlocking my SPV M650. will lokiwiz3 work?
2. my spv is on Orange ROM, how could i move on wm6 and where could i download it, before having cidunlocked my m650?
3. I saw on the internet that someone succeed in installing a plugin simulating the Touchflo, as on HTC touch (!!!), where could i find it?
many thx.

Hi PMUSA
all the answer to your questions are in the forums.
Just search the topics.
You need USPL to load a rom from here that is not designed firstly for your phone..
ok magpie2000K, thx, i already viewed this topic about USPL:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=311403
but nothing about SIM unlocking
moreover, i would like to know where i could find a WM6 for my SPV M650. I have the Shap's HTC Tytn ROM on my external hard disk drive, will it also work for the M650????
because in the topic it says:
"This means you can flash ANY ROM to your Artemis after flashing USPL on it"
thx for your precisions
pmusa
well that's because no one has been able to come up with a way to unlock it yet (atleast none for free). you'll find two ways to sim unlock your phone here, if you'll just browse through the forums in artemis upgrading topic. but you'll have to pay for it via paypal.
about the wm6 rom, you can find one in the topic artemis mobile 6. there's a thread there that's especially started for french spv m650 users. sorry i can't post the links though, but you'll find them easily enough.
pmusa
here is the link for the sim unlocking (not for free)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=314154
and for wm6 for spv
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=313713
i also have spv m650 but i couldn't get my gps to work with wm6, eventually i returned it to original spv orange rom.
i hope yours will be okay.
thx redski.
i'm installing, i'll leave a feedback.
so, currently, there isn't any other way to SIM unlock the SPV M650?
the only one is imei-check? 30€, omg...
maybe HERMES sim unlocker v3 should work, i'll pray and try. ^^

please let me know if it does, and also if your gps works after upgrading to wm6.
thanks!!!
so, i upgraded to WM6 using Tom's BnB ROM, because i heared it supports GPS on SPV M650, but... i forgot to test it! (lol :S) I was'nt satisfied because it was too skinned, virtualkeyboard skinned too and QWERTY, so i "uninstalled" it and moved on Official HTC's ROM for the P3300. But the GPS currently doesn't work on HTC rom.
So now i am going to download Orange's latest ROM and flash it, i will also apply htc_default.tsk theme because Orange's theme sucks
...
Is someone working on how to unlock the Artemis with a software like lokiwiz????

...Pof, Perjan and many other good men were working on a software to SIM unlock...perhaps possible CID Unlock the ARTEMIS, but other demands in life - exams, work around and very many things made the effort die a natural death....
I can only advise you not to wait up for it.
Go the previous ways advised - I would hassle tupisdin, if I wasn't given a free code to SIM Unlock mine - For SIM Unlock
...and the USPL developed by pof empowers me to flash..so I don't need to give imei-check.co.uk any more money.
sorry, i did'nt understand. do you mean that i should contact tupisdin so that he could give me a free simunlock code?
or do you mean that USPL also simunlock the artemis?

There is no free simunlocker for the Artemis. The Lokiwiz thingy does not work on this model. The USPL only cid-unlocks your device temporarily so that you are able to flash another ROM, but it does not unlock the sim.
ok now it's clear.
30€ is too expensive (imei-check)
who is tupisdin and how much a simunlocking costs?
thx

I don't know, so why don't you ask him? There is a thread called Sim Unlock when you scroll down a few lines. That thread is made by tupisdin.

Hermes got it today but problem

Hello;
I just got an HTC hermes today; the only problem is it is sold by Orange telecom so it is blocked and I cant use my sim card of SFR (France).
And it is with WM5.
Please help me to get a WM6.x (english) ROM for this mobile and please help me; how to deblock this phone??
Thank you very very much: badly waiting for answer.
FAISAL
First off, you need to SIM unlock to the device so you can use it on your carrier. Then go read the wiki (or stickies) and find out how to hardspl the device to put WM6.x ROMs on it.

You need active sync from microsoft to sync with pc, or you can just plug it in with usb and use it as a removable drive, follow the tutorial on the rom section to debrand and unlock your o2 HD2 by upgrading to the new 1.48 roms...
thanks richie,
i will download active sync now, but i have a question,
im tryng to find the rom section but i have found quite a few posts, im really confused, what is SPL??
do i just install 1.48 and that should debrand and unlock my device??
and what is goldcard???
im coming from an n97, and have been using symbian for over 5 years, so i apologize in advance
o2 will now let you unlock it,maybe for free...more info on that here:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=5054228&postcount=2
The latest 1.48 ROM cannot be loaded without using goldcard, on an O2 HD2.
For Windows Vista and 7, you need Windows Mobile Device Center (activesync renamed).
It on the windows mobile site to download.

Follow this thread to the letter and you won`t go wrong....
Useful info!
Chaps,
Once this has the 1.48 installed on it will it then be able to be upgraded with ROM's from the HTC site in future without the use of a GoldCard?
Or will it need to be network unlocked too?
Is this GoldCard business needed because the O2 HD2 is network locked?

For now you will need to use the goldcard method for installing the roms from HTC as they have not yet gone official..I can`t see it affecting future upgrades from the HTC site but my experience tells me that when ever i`ve had an O2 branded HTC device the HTC website won`t allow downloads from there site when you have to enter your serial number. You have to wait for O2 to release there own version of the update which NEVER happens....
Hence why i ended up at this brilliant site.
thanks guys, im going to follow the goldcard method,
will there be such another method without goldcard in the near future? im not even sure what goldcard is to be honest
will debranding to 1.48 unlock the phone as well?? or not ??
i have submitted the unlock phone request form on o2's website but am just wondering if the new rom will unlock the phone?

Thanks Richie, that's a very comprehensive answer!
Hey, I've got an O2 branded phone which was unlocked using the unlocking website (€22 it cost). Using a 3 UK sim and I'm wanting to get rid of O2's branding.
I've downloaded "RUU_Leo_HTC_WWE_1.48.405.2_Radio_Signed_15.28.50.07U_2.05.51.05_2_Ship.exe"
My question is will this ROM remove the branding and do I need to use the goldcard with this or is this a shipped rom (that I can just update using the exe)?
Many thanks,
Ross.

Okay cool, card prepared and rom loaded on.
Is this the best rom to use at this moment? Just waiting for the battery to charge > 80%
Branding is cosmetic, I can live with that. Network locking prevents the use of another network's SIM cards and is the real problem. I recently bought an O2 branded HD2 on ebay, and I am not an O2 subscriber. Whilst I have read on other threads that O2 now offer unlock codes for free, it seems unlikely that they will do this for a non-subscriber. So I have been trying the commercial unlockers, of which there are many. Of the four tried so far, all have been unable to calculate an unlock code for my EMEI no. To be fair, three of them immediately refunded what I had paid them. So now I am stuck with O2. I would like to understand this situation better. Is my phone just too new, in which case I just need to be patient? Is it something worse? Any comment would be welcome.
BTW reflashing to a stock or cooked ROM does NOT remove network locking.

Several Questions:: Does my simlock Dissapear if i Flash My HTC ??? Which Rom ??

Hi all,
Im back after a very long time because.
I buyed after a very long time a htc touch hd...
well its not new, the guy were i buyed from used it for 1week and didn't liked the touchscreen. He told me he received it as a present for xmas and stuff like that.
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
