Wanting to install WM6 + Upgrade Bootloader mode O2 XDA EXEC - JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General

Hello all, I have an M5000 which had the dreaded no GSM which after searching on this site for a possible fix with a ROM upgade I finally turned it into a brick.
I bought a O2 XDA EXEC last night on Ebay with a broken screen which I will use the M5000 screen to replace the broken one.
I am new to this site and new to this upgrading stuff which I really want to get into.
If anyone can tell me in a basic way I can upgrade my bootloader mode and install WM6 and how to flash the ROM without turning another uni into a brick!
Thanks in advance.

Unlock HTC universal by chaging ROM

I am going to get the vodafone V1640. Could nayone tell me, is it possible to unlock the phone by flashing O2 XDA EXEC on it?

actually the response is NO for the unlocking via ROM upgrade
x Bluediss ... and we should try to help and educate.
So far as of today the answer is still NO regarding changing the LOCK status by doing a ROM flash to another ROM as the "LOCK" isn't stored in the areas that are changed by a ROM update.
And so far people who are working on a un-lock tool haven't been successful so far.
I guess in a few weeks, there might be one already. A little patience.
Adios.
Sorry, I'm just al little touchy (mine's T-Mobile SIMlocked and I've got Orange )...
There are just too much posts about unlocking the universal.
I know the feeling, and yes, that's what the SEARCH button is for

What is the latest Qtek9000 rom?

Hi all,
Sorry if this is a repeated question, but I cannot make head nor tail of the numerous rom versions out there.
I would like to know what the latest Qtek900 rom is.
Does anyone know of a site where this is available?
I have tried the Qtek site, but when I enter the IMIE of the phone, it will not allow me to enter the site.
I bought mine in Pakistan, so there is not really any support available.

Yeah, I've been unable to get my launcher default to stick. Even after a complete wipe and reflash. So don't really have any advice on a fix

Silly question, but have you searched the HTC Universal Wiki and the forums here?
You mentioned the IMEI - Do you need to SIM-unlock it? If so, there's a link on the Wiki to achieving this for most, if not all, the Universal clones out there (mine is an SPV M5000 and it worked great).
As for ROMs, I found Tomal's ROMs to be pretty darn amazing. I'm using his v8.9 myself, which is essentially Windows Mobile 6.1.
Beyond that, I'm just as much of a noobie as your good self, I'm afraid. I can only advise searching, searching and more searching... The answer *is* here.

There are a lot similar messages in the forums at this site, all from people with bricked phones and waiting for a solution that is not here (yet). The easiest and quickest way to have your phone up and running again is to send it to either you provider or imei-check. But this will cost time and money. In the meantime, there are a lot of tips and tricks (not allways working though) in the various threads, you might give that a chance. What is the risk? I would say, there is not any, since your phone is allready dead and the warranty went out the window the moment you tried to flash another ROM.
I took the risk and went to the store and told them that my phone was dead after installing a program, they looked at it and just send it for repair, so far so good. hope it will come back alive. From now on no more risks!! thanks for your tips people!! Let you know when phone is back and fixed...

XDA Orbit ROM

Hello all, hope you can help.
I've just tried to install the this ROM 'PDAMobiz_Dopod_P800W_AKU301_v1.1.2_PowerMap__6.2.07_.part2.rar' on my xda orbit but the install came back with errors and all i have now is an O2 spalsh screen. I can however get to the bootloader screen so i assume all i need is the original shipped uk o2 rom?
I've had a good look around but nobody seems to have this. Someone must have surely.
Please help.
Thanks in advance.
hi, please take an hardreset:
turn your phone on press and hold the two buttons on the upper left and right side from your naviwheel and press the resetbutton with your stylus.
after a few seconds you will see an totally black screen with some white text, follow the instructions and if it fail please tell me.

Hi there,
Thanks for the advice but i've tried that already. Any other ideas?
I suppose tha you have Xda Orbit from Germany . If yes go to ftp on xda dev and download german rom . Put your xda into bootloader mode and upgrade it with this rom . This will help . I've had this same issue and from today my xda is alive again
Read this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=296442
I actually need the UK (english) rom. Do you think the German one will work on O2 UK? I'm gonna download it anyways, cant hurt to try.
Thanks
No this will not work, and if I'm not wrong there is no official O2 UK rom . If your XDA is CID unlocked then you can try to install t mobile uk version , if not ....well you have a brick
no, the german rom dosn't work on the english unit. bacause the updateprogramm is looking for the correct country-id so it won't work.
^^sry for my bad english, because i'm german and don't use it very often.
bye flow
Gutted!
You're right guys, it doesn't work! I guess I should have thought about how serious this 'playing about with your xda' was I reckom i'm just gonna go to the shop tomorrow and just say it died and hope they give me a new one
Suppose i could wait for the new ROM release for the UK version, who knows when that's going to be though.
Thanks for your help anyway.
XDA Orbit Replacement
How lucky do i feel??!! I took my phone back to the O2 shop and sent it off to the service centre. The report came back that the main board had been wrote off (i just played dumb). So they replaced it and i now have my baby back!
Conculsion:
Don't mess about unless you know what your doing! I've been working in IT for 10 years, if i can make this mistake, anyone can! DONT DO IT!

lucky you.

Can't upgrade to WWE from German P4350

Hi all!
I just got my HTC P4350 today (I bought it in Germany). It is a HTC band, not any O2, T-mobile or Vodaphone. However, it has a German OS came along (WM5 as written on the case).
I checked the forums and found this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=286873&page=3
Downloaded the last WEE Rom and tried to upgrade, but I got the error message which says:
ERROR [294] : INVALID VENDOR ID
This Update Utility cannot be used for your PDA Phone. Please check your Upgrade Utility.
HUEbc669-HFTD55670-HUEbc568-HFTD55670
Then click "Exit" to quit.
Could anyone tell me if it's possible to change my OS to English? And if yes, how can I do it?
Many thanks to all!

lol - no matter.
perhaps you search for:
CID-unlock
RUU
WM6 roms
etc.
all discussed many times.
BUT: you cannot flash a german Herald with an english rom without unlocking.
Herefor you can use imei.check.uk - but it cost.
@dutchman - welcome back. you haven´t missed anything.

hi
think is the best way
i paid at imei.check.uk and received unlock instruction in 3 minutes , later i flash with programs from wiki site
thx god now i have english in herald )
Hello,
I have similar problems with a German Vodafone device.
Does anybody have any experience with MyLanguage (http://www.mylanguage.mobi)? As far as I can tell this would be sufficient for me to have an English speaking Herald.
Thanks for your ideas!
best regards,
