Dead P3300 Artemis...

Hi,
Does anyone knows a method for repairing my old P3300.
The problem is i've tried to upgrade to wm6 and something went wrong,
ATM i only have a screen with the Tmobile logo,
I can open the bootloader, but if i load the bootloader and try to run the official rom update i get the error 122 cannot connect to device.
If i'm in the bootloader and try to start mtty, it all goes as it is supposed to go
I can see the phone in mtty and can get it into flash mode when i enter the bootloader password.
Even when the phone is in this mode the official upgrade won't see the device.
So my question: is there a way to flash/upgrade the rom from mtty?
If yes what are the commands for it in mtty.
If not does anybody know an other solution?
Btw it's a sim unlocked and Cid unlocked P3300 From the Netherlands Tmobile.
IPL 1.13.0001
SPL 1.13.0000
GSM 02.49.90
OS 3.4.0.0
Thanks
Janus

sounds like you did't run the USPL before you burned your Rom, try and do a search on this in the forum, there are plenty of fixes to get your phones up and running again.
another tip, look at the wiki and download Tmobile UK/Ger version, that should do the trick at least to get your phone running, then make sure you do the USPL before you brick it again.

I did ran the USPL.
I took a look @ the wiki, but I think those files (all of them are less then 100k) are theme files.
"T-Mobile_NL_MDA_Compact_III_1.13.114.1_NLD_ExtROM"
IPL: 3.13.0001
SPL: 3.13.0000
The USB is working
With the "PDA Phone ROM Update Utility 3.6.3.1." from HTC I tried to get the MDA functional again.
In the Verify the ROM you want to update window it says this:
From:
Image version: -blank-
To
Image version 3.13.405.1
But after 2% sometimes 7%, it says this: "Error [244]:Invaild model ID".
So maybe the USPL didn't went well.
At the Artemis_Upgrades section of the wiki there isn't a T-Mobile file to download. The language doesn't matter to me.

Which device are you guys trying to flash with a new ROM, if its a UK T-Mobile device its not got the WiFi hardware so don't go putting a ROM on the device that expects WiFi support, T-Mobile Artemis units from Holland did have WiFi built in as does the true HTC P3300 unit, the UK T-Mobile device does not - Mike

ok hear'd this one many times before, your running vista >?
try and search the forum, there is a fix for this then your phone.

@Mike it's the "Dutch" version with indeed WiFi
@Neilhhardy
No, I'm not running Windows Vista at the moment.

Me too have the same problem - flash allways stop at 2% , also can`t flash radio - stop at 73-75% - any idea?
the phone is original HTC (have Wi-Fi and not branded) - never CID locked go to bootloader without any problems but can`t flasing - I think case problem is standart HTC flasher exe - for early models have different flasher software - I have Jaf WM but Jaf WM do not support Artemis - did have released other soft that alow flashing Artemis?
P.S - I thing cause right solution is to flash your device with original version - the OEM version that was instaled by factory will fix the problem

this worked for me on a unlocked mda compact 3
format your memory card first with your pc then copy the rom file (nbh)to your memorycard and rename it to ARTEIMG.nbh
start bootloader and follow the instructions.
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index..._Card_Flashing
rom i used http://makus.folijka.pl/OrbitO2UK.rar

I found the right solution and fix my phone stop at 2% is hapenind when the phone was flashed before cid unlock (bricked) and can be restored ONLY with ORIGINAL version for that phone
1. go to www.htc.com then go to support area and register your headset by they own htc serial number!!! this is most important step!
2. download update soft - the supportsite know what exactly is rirgt version and language for your pda
3. Flash your phone and will be alive
4. USPL and make after that what you want with your headset
TESTED and WORKED for dead phones(but phone must go to the bootloader)

I did a reset with the rec, pwrbutton and resetbutton. And now he's up and running agian with WM6 Haha
I tried to unlock the device with the AthenaUnlocker, but I got this error:
0x0, 0x100000, SPL-verify.nb
I think I killed him lol

My wizard died

Hello!
I have strange problem with my Wizard. 4 month ago i was trying to install Pathfinder 1.2, but when I installing this ROM using ShellTool my PDA bricked. Now all the time it's frozen on Splashscreen with IPL/SPL GSM and OS information. All HR completed without any errors and all ROM's upgrading finish correctly.
Once time, after 2 months for breaking, my Wizard just started and working very well, I do 2 HR and few SR and my Wizard still working good, but when I shut it down and pull out battery my Wizard again frozen and until now can't wake up. I have CID Unlocked by imei-check. I tried to install many different ROM's, e.g. Wizard Love, Dopod (CHS), T-Mobile, Orange (PL) but nothing work. I also tried way with SD Card but my ROM's doesn't work, I think I need some working dumped ROM. I was searching help on few forum but poeple on polish forums don't know how to help me. May someone here have idea where can i find working dumped ROM or have any other idea how can i fix my Wizard?
Thanks for any help
alldoe
PS Sorry for my english

which is your device,post full data of your phone,IPL/SPL...? Make...?
As you say you installed through Shelltool,is it a G4 DOC chip version ?
You say it's stuck at the splash screen with ipl/spl and gsm version,which splash screen,is it OS (Rom) initial splash screen or a Bootloaders (Multicolored) screen ?
Secondly ,try to get it into bootloaders (multicolor) screen,if it gets into bootloaders,connect it to PC via usb cable,check small usb appears at the bottom of the bootloader mode in the phone,if it does,than flash a carrier's official Rom to recover back to it's default status.
Good luck

Try the Button's ROM (which is in Wizard Upgrading subforum). Then unlock it again (It may be causd by a fake CID unlock when you try to unlock when IPL/SPL is 2.xx)

My current
IPL/SPL 2.24
GSM 02.25.11
OS 2.24.10.1
I have G3, but I was using ShellToll because I can't install by RUU file.
My Wizard stuck at ROM Splashscreen, i can get into bootloader screen, but when I flash any ROM, everything upgrading well but after Reboot it still frozzing at Splashscreen. I was tried Button ROM sometimes but it doesn't work, I have CID unlocked by Imei-check.uk and everything is okay, I can install ROM from G3 and G4 chips. And ... I remember, that before CID Unlocking my IPL and SPL have different value.
PS. I was unlocking my CID, after my Wizard bricked.

You can download this rom CUSTOM__RUU_Wizard_1050412_WWE_101_11210_WWE.exe on XDA,it contains IPL/SPL 1.01,and upgrad this rom,then you'll find your IPL downgrad to 1.01,and SPL still is 2.24,and then,use aWizard tu unlock your CID,after this,your CID should be unlocked,you can use RUU upgrad any rom you want.
I just do this yesterday,my CID isunlocked now.And RUU now works on my device.

Hello! I have CID unlocked. When I install Button ROM my IPL and SPL is the same (1.01). Every RUU works but It still frozen. 2 Days ago i found on other forum this advice:
INSTRUCTION :
1. miniSD - formated in PC - FAT format (now FAT32 !)
2. Wizard On and Bootloader (press reset and keep photo button let go reset) 3 color display. Put in card to Wizard.
3. Connect USB - PCC to PC
4. Launch MTTY 1.42 (my ver.) with USB connection
5. Write command - r2sd os end press enter
6. Program it will record OS on miniSD
7. After recording make Hard Reset or turn on Bootloader
8. On Display should be written - Format partition ?? (5 sec.) - to confirm press Voice dial button. If inscription it will disappear repeat point 7.
9. If Format partition successful wait OS is write. Done.
10. Draw out miniSD
11. Make Hard Reset
12. Enter in bootloader
13. FOR NON CID WIZARD - Flashing Wizard RUU (must be proper version) - ERROR 300 is bad RUU ERROR 266 turn off Wizard and turn on connect to PC
14. With CID (for example CID G4) seek forum for flashing Wizard with CID G4

Urgent Help Needed Please! "No-Gsm" BRICKED?

i posted this in another thread but no one replied so thought this one mite be more busy.
i am new to all this and i stupidly went running into things and tryed to ROM upgrade my t-mobile MDA Vario II (HERM300), not knowing i had to CID unlock first, it has broke! when i boot it up i can not get passed the t-mobile splash screen and it also flashes "no-gsm". i have read many suggestions on fixing this but i have had no luck. i can get into the boot screen however and get the red green and blue stripes.
i have IPL 1.01 and SPL 1.04.
it will allow me to connect to my PC with USB but active-sync does not recognize i have connected the phone.
please help someone. i just need a way i can get this thing working again. if i could just get the phone into a state of use again that would be good.

please help, at least let me know if Ive got a chance of repairing it

i believe if you can get it in to bootloader mode you can flash back to original rom and start over

i thought that to but when i tryed the t-mobile rom it said "connection error" and also said it should be connected through active sync. but then agen it mite of been the wrong t-mobile rom but im sure it was for the vario ii. do you have a link to the one i should try please?

i downloaded the official UK shiping rom from t-mobile site and upgrading now through bootloader. will report on what happens.....

nope, keep getting "device not responding" or "connection error". any other sugestions?

i looked on here http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_Unbrick and it says that i have to "Flash any type2 radio in NBF format. If that doesn’t work, flash the radio using HERMflasher" please could someone tell me how to do this, if this is the solution to my problem or if there is another way around this. thanks.

please help someone i realy need to fix my phone

Cool down....
what's ur radio version?
Also have u read this? http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_SimUnlock - TRY THIS FIRST, before attempting anything else...

ok, i have tryed that "sim and cid unlocker" and i beleve that you have to connect with active-sync because when i tryed it when i was in boot loader it said that it was not connected but it was. i will get my radio version now.
EDIT: my radio version is: 0107
EDIT2: also, here are some other numbers (which i dont know what they mean but mite be needed) which apear on boot-up t-mobile splash screen, in red letters/numers, just before "no-gsm" flashes on:
M 05
S 04
B 06
D 1.21

If you can get into the Bootloader (Rainbow Screen) you should be okay (Not a Brick)
Go download a Radio Rom from the wiki.
Enter Bootloader first, then connect to PC. Then flash the Radio Rom.

Artemis USPL v.01 upgrade error with 270 code, Please HEPL

Hi Profs,
there are some problems with a Artemis Update SPL (USPL) v.01. I've found this problem is several topic but there was no solution for it.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1739577&postcount=413

http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...44#post1745844

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1713596&postcount=1
The problem:
use USPL to get rid of the CID....count goes up to 100% screen shows black with green text, then pops to white. I need to do a soft reset to get it running again.
Then i use ROM Update Utility to update my p3300....and it still keeps hanging on 3%....damn. i get mad...!! Have read almost all here online...no virusscanner, no firewall....I use win XP.
i even tried without memory card and phone card....and nothing seems to work.......
ipl 1.14.0001
spl 1.14.0000
gsm 02.07.90
os 1.14.0.0
Who has any clue...?
With other words:
I've just got back my P3300 from repair, they changed the main board. With the previous main board I was able to upgrade the device and I was using the B&B versions.
But with this new board I'm not able to upgade the SPL. When I try to upgade the device after and start the start_uspl .exe the 10...20... ....100 my device become an interresting "blue screen" status and only the reset help to get out from this status. If I start the RomUpdateUtility.exe after the upgrade I got the error message #270
IPL: 3.13.0001
SPL: 3.13.000
GSM: 02.94.90
ROM version: 3.13.405.1.WWE
ROM date: 8/28/07
ExtROM version: 3.12.405.102
This is not the solution for the problem. I've tried it:
Plug in USB cable. Hold voice recorder button and press reset button. Bootloader will appear (Three color stripes). Then you may flash up ROM. (This works only for RUU installation types, not for PDAmobiz modified installator) Original english HTC P3300 ROM you may download form here: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index...temis_Upgrades ....
Please help us to solve this problem....

Probably the same problem
This should be the same:
Hello POF,
I was directed to this link by Rudegar because I want to change the french ROM to English ROM.
The relevant data of my PDA is:
The version of the ROM: 1.14.406.1 FRE
Date of ROM: 9/27/06
Radio version: 02.67.90
Protocol version: 4.1.13.28
ROM extension version: 1.14.406.101
I tried exactly the way you described in the USPL_manual and everything went well till I got to a stage where I was asked to click the update button which I did. After then there was a window which showed "updating from current version to version 9.99". I was confused at this point but clicked "continue" and after this stage I got an error message and there was no longer a connection bw my PDA and my computer.
Thanks,
Jonat

Problem "lost connection PDA-PC"
Hi,
first I would like to thank you for goooood job to many people here !
Back to my problem. I have HTC Artemis (T-Mobile MDA Compact III), OS WM6 T-Mobile Czech version.
I ran start_uspl.exe on my computer. The part in DOS based screen seems to finish everytime OK, but finally the connection with PC is lost. Therefore when the PDA Phone ROM Update Utility starts cheking version the error "lost connection with PC" appears . PDA stay in "black screen" mode and only hard reset start it again as usual.
Does anybody have the same problem? Any idea, how to solve it ?
Thanks

When the screen goes white, don't restart. Just start flashing to the new ROM. Worked for me

Unfortunately it not a white screen, it a black one, connenction lost with the PC, and only the reset PDA helps to restart the unit again....

Same situation as above. Depending on the Artemis, the screen might go white or black. Just don't freak out and keep on flashing the USPL. It WILL work and then reboot. Then you can flash the actual ROM you want.

Hello from an absolut newbie trying his first upgrade,
And I have just experienced the same problem than lenocs.
I have run start_uspl.exe, but when the screen is suposed to become white or dark, it becomes dark and the artemis is in fact totally off and connection is lost.
Anyway I supossed that it was because the scrren got black and I tried to run the update utility, but I´ve got an error (the terminal is disconnected or similar) and nothing happens.
I have had to soft reset the terminal and fortunatelly it seems that I still have my previous ROM and it seems that it works. But, do you know if there could be some "side effect" because the first step of start_uspl script?
Anyway I would like to move to WM6, so, any suggestion would be really appreciated.
Thank's a lot

When you restart, what is the USPL number?

Ooopppssss!
I didn't pay attention.
As I've said, I'm a newbie, so I was just woried because I thought I had "bricked" my new atemis.
How can I know now the USPL number?
Anyway I tried the star_uspl again (I'm a crazy newbie) and it failed. The artemis went off almost inmediately.
Thank you very much for your help

solved ... at least for me
I think the problem is in SPL version 3.13 (or maybe anyone newer than 1.11).
Try different Artemis USPL - for me worked version from this page:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Artemis_DumpedRoms
It's very confusional, because file sizes and also dates are the same as in unfunctional version, but this one worked.
Hope it'll help you as it helped to me.

Maybe this can help you
I bought a 8gb card the week before, so I needed to update the rom in order to have my new SDHC working. But whn I was trying to update the rom, through UPSL 1.1, I had an error. This was the first time I had an error because I have modified the room many times before. My error was about a CMD.EXE issue, something like Error code line 26 "can´t spawn cmd.exe" so I was not able to change my rom. What I did was to copy CMD.EXE from Windows/System32 and put in the same folder where I had the start_uspl file, and finally works!
Do not ask me why, but this was the only way I could make works the update process.
Just try.

do u have ur card in the phone while updating
you are suppose to remove the card

Problem solved (for me)
Hi,
i had the same problem error 270, 3% and lost connection with Activesync.
IPL: 3.13.0001
SPL: 3.13.000
GSM: 02.94.90
ROM version: 3.13.405.1.WWE
ROM date: 8/28/07
any way to upgrade was wrong ->> error 270
My good way was:
1. Downgrade to WM5 - original shipped ROM 1.12.405.1(link found on Wiki pages)
2. Under WM5 run USPL to unlock CID (now without any errors)
3. Final STEP - Upgrade to new ROM Artemis Touch 3.01 (without any errors by upgrade)
))
Now my Artemis seems to be OK.

I ran USPL with storage card inside the device...
no problem

switch SD card back to 2GB or smaller before USPL
Hi,
for me USPL did not work with my SDHC 8GB card but then I switched back to my previous 2GB SD card and then it works.
Perhaps the SDHC driver blocks USPL in some way.
Cheers,
Markus

i have been trying for 3 months
once i have upgraded my artemis to wm 6.0 everything seemed to be OK for two days... then the screen started to go black when i restart... şi downgraded to 5.0 but nothing changed... when i remove battery for a while, my arte works... when i try to do anything with it, the screen slowly goes black as if it is broken... please DO HELP ME! i am going to go mad... i have a new iphone, ihave i kaiser as well... but i miss my artemis very much...

Hello:
I have the same problem and realized hundereds have too. I have been checking in all forums and no asolution to it
The issue that happens to me is that I used USPL for upgrading to WM6 and worked, but now for the Touchflo it does not. Tried with all USB ports, tried with different computers and no good news.
The USPL msdos screen indicates that there is no connection at all in all percentage levels, then it bocomes dark and the 260 error whne installing the rom.
please help us soon !!!
we are in trouble!!

Same Problem : Screen shut down
Anybody can help us on this point ?
The only way to solve it is to remove the batterie during 30 min., then put it back and pray...
Then, for no reason, the screen shut down, a few minutes or days after
I've upgrade from WM5 to WM6 with the original Rom of HTC, it seems a little more stable but it shut down every 2 days when i'm lucky

my email to faria

below is an email i sent to faria seeking his help, i also decided to post it on the forum, in cae anyone else has some ideas, and in the event the problem gets solved the information is here for someone else who needs it
"I have a problem that i would really appreciate your advice on.
So i bought a cingular/att 8125 - G3 Wizard - on ebay for $40 the listing described it as having a broken lcd screen, so i bought an lcd as well replaced it and that element of it works fine. I turn it on to see that the dumbass somehow installed a rom with the IPL of 1.01 and the SPL of 3.08.
so im assuming that is the conflict keeping it from booting up properly, i can easily access the boot loader and flash almost any rom available.
my main issue is this, from what i gather, i need to bring the IPL up to at least 2 for it to be compatable, but any rom i try to flash that acctully replaces the ipl gives me , i belive an error 300 and says the updater tool is to old, so do you know any way i can update the IPL so it works.
thank you,
Adam"

Is it CID locked? I saw that message a lot when I had mismatched SPL/IPL and the CID was locked. Try running an older version of lokiwiz, it can unlock that combination (lokiwiz2b couldn't do it, but something from around October last year could).
Then try button ROM or an OEM ROM.
$40 is not bad at all, even with a broken LCD.

thanks you for the response i actully saw that post my self, but becuase of the fact that it doesnt boot beyond the splash screen i cant run active sync to use lokwiz , unless there is a way to run it without active sync and at the bootloader.
thanks though

u could always try a hard reset commanager and voice commander and then press on button and then press send once message comes up
