Do Not flash your Artemis with a different carrier/cooked Rom without cid unlocking

Noobs beware!
As a number have been flashing their devices with various roms not from their own carrier or country or cooked roms and bricking their device - I put up this sticky. Your device must be cid unlocked first before you do this. This applies to the coming wm6 roms to - if the rom is not specific to your device - i.e. if you try to flash the upcoming htc 3300 wm6 rom on O2 orbit - you must cid unlock first - with imei check or you will end up with a BRICK!
This does not apply if you are only updating the os http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=299154 or radio.
cid = country id i.e. locked to that country/language/vendor
cid unlock for the artemis is here with USPL http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=311403 (thanks pof)
or here http://www.imei-check.com/c3unlock.php (costs though)
Bricked devices
If you have flashed your device and not cid unlocked it, your device maybe salvagable if you can get it into bootloader mode.
Hold down the voice speed dial button and soft reset - you should then enter bootloader mode 'multicolored' screen'
If you do, attach device to pc via usb cable (a small usb will appear bottom left of screen) and flash factory rom. (run rom executable or RUU updater from pc) You do not need to be activesynced to do this.

If you cannot enter bootloader mode your bootloader has been damaged and your device will need to be sent away for repair.

You do need the factory rom for your device and then flash it from bootloader mode. Contact the dealer you bought your phone from or htc denmark.

ah for me too little too late.......... still waiting for an O2 rom the bloody bas*ards!!

Whoops!
Just a little too late! Anyone want to buy a bricked XDA Orbit? ;-)
Does anyone here work for the carriers? Can they provide an official O2 ROM to fix out bricked Orbit?

Its only truely bricked if the bootloader is damaged - if you can get into bootloader mode you can salvage with the factory rom.

Well you need the factory rom from o2 - o2 have not released it so there is a problem. I have not found any links to download this rom or a link to a dumped rom. I will ask others in the team if they know a link and let you know.
Did you manage to get into bootloader mode?

Yeah the device goes into the bootloader mode. If you could find out where i can get the factory rom from that would be great. Also if i could have instructions how to upload the rom in the bootloader mode i would really appreciate it.

Unless you have unlocked you're device via imei check - you're device will still be cid locked.

Is there any chance a tool will be released in the future which allow you to unlock your device for free?
I noticed that for other devices such tools are available.

Someone out there with a HTC P3300 German ROM ? I would be very pleased if someone could provide a link.....

Now challange KarhU

can u download a Super CID form SD-memory on Bootloader for whom couldnt enter the WM and make "ActiveSync" On.?
discuss if it possible or not

well any one help

What do you use to get the ROM to the device? - do u use custom RUU? Because it can load the ROM to your device if it is connected to the PC by USB and if it is in bootloader mode. (If your tri-color screen says USB on the bottom it should work. You do not need AS to flash a ROM.
Edit: forget it - I just noticed that Elf CID unlocker needs working AS. However you can try to flash a ROM with matching CID (from your provider - i.e. if you have Orange branded elf use Orange ROM, Tmob Elf TMob ROM...) - that should revive your device. After that you can supercid it from working WM6 environment.

well i dont know the provider CID , and i tried to download the Original WWE ROM but it keep saying ID Vnder , i think i have changed the IPL and SPL how can i know the original IPL and SPL for normal HTC toch (elf)

Where did you buy the phone? Orange? T Mobile? Directly HTC Branded?
That should give you a hint which ROM is of matching CID for the device. E.g. official HTC ROM will not work on my Orange branded Hermes - I need Orange ROM to upgrade.
If you changed the spl your device would probably be dead - you should not even be able to see the bootloader screen. Moreover there is no bootloader with your version number for Hermes. If the bootloader identifies device correctly (does it say something like Elf?). then you should be running original Elf bootloader.

well i bought it from soudi arabi a dont know what kind of provider

im think about write CID code to make it superCID so i can download a ROM with original WWE

What does your bootloader screen say? If you had a Hermes ROM flashed in - it should say:
HERM100
IPL-
HERM100
SPL-
Connection type (Serial or USB)

I know...
But to use Pof's unlocker you need to run sspl and that thing needs AS which needs functional WM in turn...
You should be able to flash CID matching ROM - ideal case would be the ROM device came with. Are there any clueas on the device - ie is it branded somehow?

i know SSPL i do it its will force the device to accept the ROM no mattar what thats why i messd up my device
nope no clueas ,sorry

Try to look for saudi arabia shipped ROMs for Elf on the forum - that gives you better chances than tweaking the bootloader.

the problem that i think that i messd up the IPL and SPL
how i can make sure??

That is question for Elf owners/users. I can only tell you that SPL/IPL numbers you provided are not for Hermes - you can check it here and here.
As you can see the highest SPL version numbers for Hermes are 1.11 and then it jumps directly to 2.something, highest IPL version for Hermes is 1.04.
You can ask ELf users what Elf IPL/SPl number should be.
What is written above SPL number in your device?

ok thank you very much

the problem is the nearest HTC center is 1700 Km away otherwise i could make them fix it
can u help me to find original arabic ROM maybe u can post it in XDA-Wiki shipped ROM||

I still think that you have a proper origianl Elf bootloader on your device. It is a pity you did not back your ROM up before flash. You can try to find some saudi arab members of this forum, they can tell you which operators are in the country so looking for your ROM may be simpler. Otherwise I can only suggest you to try all official Elf ROMs you can find until there will be a match. You can be sure that your device does not have CID of ROM you tried to flash.

Elf wiki does not have shipped ROMs part filled. Here is the link.
Ok lets try to look for your original ROM:
What was the ROM language - english, arabic...
Was the arabic enabled - i.e. could you write in arabic without added software?
Is there any brand name on your Elf (on the surface of the phone - I have Orange logo there so maybe you have some lead too)

i know im stubet to do that :|
yah thats right how can i make becouse i found WWE original
and shipped chiness one

normal rom update or downgrade will do nothing with simlock....
r u kidding?

any news from olipro
How could we know if olipro is still working on unlocking blackstone devices ?

ah in reply to that question. we made it with Olipro... see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=521206

To sim unlock your device or to security unlock (not the same thing) you will need to use Olipro's unlock tool which can be found here.
HSPL or USPL do not unlock your device. HSPL & USPL allows you to bypass the HTC certificate check and flash unsigned or CID-mismatching roms to your phone.
HSPL is permanent while USPL is a temporary solution.

ARTE200 02 XDA UPGRADE question

Dear Sir
I have been given a 02 handset and the customer wants me to upgrade the software , something i have already tried on the 02 uk website but this model is not in this list of software updates avaialble.
This handset details are ARTE200 XDA ON 02 UK
IPL: 3.04.0001
SPL: 3.04.000
GSM: 02.07.90
OS-3.4.0.0
please can you advise what if there are any new soft upgrade for this model available and if so which one and procedure
i will also contribute for this forum
Thankyou
As

The only official upgrade is to windows 6, here is a link to the rom
http://www.4shared.com/file/67458555/cf2192d4/RUU_Artemis_O2_UK_342062_411350_030690_Ship.html
1. Backup any stuff you need from the device
2. Remove sim chip and memory card from device
3. Reset device and sync with windows
4. Run the exe file you downloaded and follow on screen instructions
You can also upgrade the phone to windows 6.1/6.5, but these roms are not official and you or your customer will need to know which rom you want because there are a lot of them. To do that you will also need a little more knowledge on flashing like how to use a program called "uspl" which you flash to your device before you do the upgrade.

I am a new to all this... I have a question ? Do i need to use uspl every time whenever i need an upgrade or is it jut once ? As till no what i have gathered that i need to flash each time i do an upgrade and to flash the device i need to use uspl... please confirm my understanding....
thanks.

No,
if you want to install the official O2 Upgrade you dont have to flash USPL ... this is just required if you want to install a custom rom ...
And you have to flash uspl only once ... Verify the SPL at boottime, it shoul be 1.11 or something like that and shouldnt change while flashing a custom rom. Just if you flash an original rom, the SPL will reset and you have to run uspl again.
Hope, you understand my english

[Q]I can't Flash my HTC 3450

Hello all,
I have an issue with my HTC.
1° Yesterday I CID Unlock my HTC --> No pb
2° After I flash my HTC with a WM6.5 SX 4.0 --> Not steady with my phone
3° Flash with Windows 6.5 ROM 23060 SEN --> CRASH
4° Flash HTC_Touch_FRA_2.20.406.1B.exe
5° Now I can't flash with an another rom ? When Im with the flashing toll I have the error 270 ?
What can I do ?
Best regards
Ps Sorry for my english

Hi
I think your HTC_Touch_FRA_2.20.406.1B is an official rom, and they come with Cid, that means you are Cid locked again You'll have to go all over the cid unlock procedure and then flash a cooked rom
Good luck

Make sure u have fullcharged battery or connect PPC to charger.
Also re-format SD card and reload OS image.
