HTC P3300-unplug when updating PDAMobiz ROM-dead phone-need help

It might be a duplicated topic but I do search on the forum and need some or your kindly help, xda-developers members.
I bought my HTC P3300 from ebay and it was already in English. A strange thing that it had French Extended ROM : 1.12.406.101. The rest is exact to the ART_HTCWWE_11240501_026790_WWE_Ship ROM (ROM : 1.12.405.1 9/12/06, Bootloader : 1.12.0000, Radio : 02.67.90)
Yesterday, when upgrading to PDAMobiz lite version, I accidentally unplug the device then now it turns to brick. No futher going except HTC boot screen with IPL 1.12.0001, SPL 1.12.0000, GSM 02.67.90, OS 1.28.0.0.
I try to put my phone into bootloader mode (triple color screen) and update with the Ship ROM downloaded from xda FTP. Unfortunately, all these ROMs result in "Invalid Model ID" or "Invalid Vendor ID" after 2% of progress then automatically reboot.
I understand that my phone is not unlocked, that procedure I have to do beforehand with the help of IMEICHECK. But now it is no use because my phone is a brick. That supprise me is why can not I go back with the WWE Ship ROM version that I already seen on my phone.
So I suspect that
1. My phone is HTC P3300 French version then the ebay buyer change to English UI before selling it to me
2. Because of unplug the phone while upgrading, part of bootloader of my phone was corrupted.
My solution can be
1. Send the phone to IMEICHECK because they have ability to open the hardware and re-flash the ROM directly. But it costs a lot of money and time because I have to pay for the fee, tax, and shipping.
2. Waiting for some kind people to share their French ROM of HTC P3300 so I can give a try on this. So please, if anyone owe a HTC P3300 French version please send me your dumped ROM ([email protected]) or let me know where can I get it. I will be appriciated that.
And to the xda-developers members, could you give me some more advices in this case, I was strugling with that for nearly 2 days. Thanks very much.

During the flash your security area on a device, including CID has been corrupted.
Actually none of image will flash on this device.
CID area must be restored in order to flash device. Yes, IMEI-CHECK recalculate all security area and flash it to device with help of modified spl loaded in a memory. But this is done from windows. In your case, you are in bootloader and you can not load modified spl.
Only one solution I see is to use jtag interface, but not sure that pins are known on artemis motherbord for jtag interface. With jtag you can load modified spl.
Simple way is just to send device to service center.
best regards,

Hic no choice. I am unable to open this device to access through jtag interface. Do you have any ideas ?

Send it cervice centre or Imecheck

@victoradjei: that's good idea. Could you please tell me which one is better ? Imeicheck or HTC service center ?
I live in Australia and I bought this phone from ebay, which service center (Europe, Taiwan ..) should I sent my device to?
I have talked with the guy in Imeicheck and he asure that this problem can be solved. However, have any one in xda-developers had experience with Imeicheck? Are they good at this kind of repair? How about their reputation?
Thanks very much

Bricked P3300
Hallo to all ...
I have just "bricked" my HTC P3300 and no it shows only
IPL 1.12.0001
SPL 1.12.0000
GSM 02.67.90
OS 3.4.0.0
Originally it was WM5 in German
I wanted to upgrade to WM6 as I have more then 4000 Addresses and this cannot sync. with Outlook anymore. With WM6 I have no problem with a
P3600.
when loading ROM from Splash screen I get the "wrong ID" ...
Thanks to all who can help and greetings from Indonesia,
Josef

HTC P4350 Previous ROMS

Hi,
I tried to upgrade my Herald and when I have it a hard reboot these showed up:
IPL 1.08.0001
SPL 1.08.0001
GSM 02.71.90
Previously the GSM was Different. I think it was 1.08 something.
Now the mobile is not booting up. I tried to format it and restore it to factpry default, but it didn't work.
You guys have some clues what I can possibly do?
Thanks

I think your device was still CID locked. you cannot use your device anymore UNLESS you still have the original ROM that was installed on your device. Try to upgrade to this version of ROM first. If this does not work I suggest you'd send your phone to HTC Repair Centre... Cus you own a BRICK, welcome to the club

lol very nice
in fact i sent them an email and they told me to take it to my nearest vendor
and they gave me an address as well. It's in Italy and i Live in Malta hehe
how can i install the previous rom since i cannot boot into windows ? :s

Get the RUU of your original ROM, put your device in bootloader mode: HOLD the comm manager and camera button, and press soft reset with your stylus. connect the device via USb with yor pc, then run the upgrade utility. Et Voila, unbricked

this has to be in the cd-roms i have with the mobile?

hehe i dont think you can find the original rom from google
been searching since sunday for it
i sent an email to htc maybe they can send me the original rom but no reply yet.
and i dont think someone has the original rom here heh

glad you found out yourself

I have asket HTC for original Italian ROM but they told me to take my device to a service center. And the service center cannot update it on-the-go but has to send it away....so it will be at least 20-30 days....I hope wm6 will be out there sooner!!!

I guys, I'm trying to repair my ARTEMIS that I bricked but I don't know which was the original rom because I have flashed with WM6 original rom the day after I bought it.
As asked by Stopper there is a way to know which was original rom so I could try to restore it by SD card?
thank you so much
bye

There's no way through the device (no device flash history), however it's usually the stock carrier ROM so try flashing to that.

The answers are confusing, I have one Mda Tmobile (Artemis) with exactly the same problem. It had german rom originally, and I tied Uspl and had error at the end, maybe the version was lower cause i did not check. Since I could not be able solve it. when you try wwe rom it says invalid vendor Id, any other rom give ivalid model id error.
Is there any solution available for this?
Thanks

I downloaded and installed that ROM - It's 1.14 not 1.19!!

Where do these get released? Or haven't they been released?
I'm intrigued to find where the latest HTC Firmware will appear if Orange get round to messing with it.

That is why you are here -----
It is due to the fact that carriers don't upgrade and want you to run out of contract and buy a new toy (thus with a new rom).
This is why we cook roms (off the new toys for old boys).
I have yet to see an offical GER (german rom) come out from my or any other carrier including HTC (who are not carriers).
Now after saying all that wiki does have a orange ship.exe

Still unsure about flashing the ROM
Hi,
So the ROM supplied in the above links will upgrade the Orange ROM and keep all the horrible things that Orange have done to the handset to cripple it.
I only ask as my phone is company supplied and I do not want to screw up the handset.
My ROM is 1.19.61.1 WWE and the operator version is 34.119.1.611.
Forgive my ignorance about these matters
Chris

it´s very simple: if you like to keep your device at it is, there´s no need to flash another rom. if you like to get rid of that orange rom and take part of the better ones install one of the very good rom available here.

I also want to get rid of my Orange ROM. I have read the wikis and am confident enough to be able to do it. One thing I am unsure about is, the ROM I would like to try is Panosha`s Black Pearl but as I understand it, it is based on a 1.56 ROM. and my ROM is 1.19.61.1. I can get USPL onto my TouchHD but am unsure as whether I can flash Panosha`s ROM onto my device without first flashing a 1.56 ROM. I`ve searched the Orange website and at the moment there is no 1.56 ROM.

If you are going to flash a cooked rom, then why panic about flashing the stock 1.54/1.56 roms first.

I`m not panicking, just unsure about whether I have to. I`m sure I read in the wikis that I need a 1.56 ROM on my device to flash a 1.56 based cooked ROM. Can`t find this statement any more so maybe I imagined it.
Just noticed a statement on Panosha`s ROM page which says "First flash 1.56.xxxx ROM"

Yup, you need the 1.54 SPL version from Stock first which comes with the 1.56 ROM.
Read the tutorial for more info http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=505377
Then any issues just ask in that thread, loads of people will help... its what we're here for

Thanks mate, I thought so. I went ahead and did it but I now have the green screen issue so I`ve obviously not done it right. Just need to read up now how to fix it. I flashed USPL 2.5 first and then one of Duttys 1.56 ROMS which all went on fine until it rebooted. Maybe I`m not understanding the flash process as much as I thought.

Check your SPL version by turning off the phone, holding down the volume button and pressing power once. It should go to the tri colour screen and say SPL- 1.56, if it doesn't it answers why your phone has gone green screen. The SPL and the ROM numbers need to match.
It's quite simple to solve, don't worry, your phone isn't bricked.
You just need to run hard SPL 1.54 which you can find on this forum. run it via PC whilst in activesync with your phone and it will do the rest. Let us know if you still have problems after this.

Thanks. I have spl 1.14. I knew I hadn`t bricked it, just caused the green screen problem because of my own stupidity not fully understanding the procedure. The ROM is showing as 1.56Dutty, do I have to flash Hardspl 1.56 or the older one. Also does the phone have to be unlocked. I thought I had all this cracked but it just gets more & more complicated the more I try and correct my **** up.

This may seem like a silly question..but .. if I install a cooked Rom
Will my connection setting for Orange as my service provider be retained?
Thanks

yes. its detected automatically after you flashed the ROM. if you hard reset (which you ought to do) then youll just go through the customisation process where you confirm that your service provider is orange.

I'm obviously a newbie
Thanks - I was bricking myself anout this.

I called / emailed orange , they have no plans to release the update on there phones.

you already have the latest Orange ROM

I thought I was ready to go before I came accross this thread and it's left me hesitant.
I too have an Orange branded phone. SPL 1.14 ROM 1.19.61.1 WWE.
I thought that all I needed to do was:
a) update windows 7 USB driver so I can sync from the tri-colour screen.
b) run HSPL 1.56.OliNex
c) flash a new 1.56 ROM
edit: Do I need to update to stock SPL 1.54 before step b?
As davemazo says, does it need to be Orange unlocked to do this? dgattenb saying he can't flash the 1.54 HSPL onto the phone has put this on hold.

HD2 locked by Orange France is possible to do HSPL & rom cooked?

Hello All;
I'm new here and i have bought htc hd2 in French language from Orange France locked. and i have some questions;
1. If i do a hard spl and after try to istall a cooked rom or any original rom of another language like Italian for example, can i do? is possible? or maybe i will have difficulties with orange? because you remember it is locked.
2. If it is possible, doing this the phone can be free or unlocked? or there is any other procedure to unlock it? maybe to upgrade radio?
3. the last question; if a day i want to turn back to the original orange france rom can i backup it? and how?
thank you all. i'm new with this and don't want to brick it so i make this question to the specialists

check http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=534

Orange France htc hd2
Hi....Having dealt with Orange France in the past, i think it is extremely unlikely that you will not have problems with them no matter what you do, and even if you do nothing to your phone!...Their support is probably the worst in the world so i really would not worry about offending them.
Do HSPL then change the rom...or Goldcard followed by the Rom.
Unlock the sim on the phone if you want..
There is a site that seems recommended elsewhere on XDA...I am trying them myself a the moment....hence i found your message when searching...unlock-now etc
If you have a problem and need to send the phone back to orange.....They will probably be impossible to deal with, but if you really are a masochist, then insure the phone and then assist it's demise....under a car wheel is quick and painless, if you are careless while crossing a road!

hi,
thanks for answer, i have done the flashing with success, but before i unlocked it to ***.htcgate.com for 19$ about 14€ with success and after i flashed it with a coocked rom, doing hdsl and after flashing rom.
now the phone seems do his job very well but i miss tv orange ecc, its no problem but if one day i like to return to original rom its a bit difficult because i have'nt done yet before.

Did you use hspl alone or did you goldcard as well?
By the way there is a way to revert the back to the original spl at the bottom of the HSPL sticky thread.
Was it easy to reconnect to orange 3g services?
