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

HEPL!!!!!! please
hi ..i have p3300 and i need to jtag...i know how to do but i don't know pniouts on the board...does any body can help me please..???

Orbit ROM

Is it possible that some "smart" person who owns an Orbit (UK model) extracts its ROM and makes is possible to load it to another Orbit in Bootloader mode?
Or can someone tell me how to clear the CID in Bootloader mode, so I can flash my Orbit with a Dopod or p3300 rom.
FYI: My Orbit can only boot on Bootloader mode because I was stupud to flas it with the PDAMobiz rom.....
Gr.
M.

U can make your Artemis(orbit) superCID only with IMEICHECK.co.uk for 20GBP. But u can flash there tmouk rom i guess even if its still cid locked. this rom is in one of threads arte-unlock,upgrade. BTW ibet u tryied pdamobiz customized. Im I right? this one ****ing rom has some big troubles, try lite or powermap version

Υes i agree... Try Lite or PowerMap Version... The customized is not working at least at most of us... For the T-mobile ROM search this thread

I know about Imei-check solution, but it can only be done when your Orbit/Artemis functional. Mine isn't. Is stops/hangs at het splashscreen.
My only hope is when either Imei-ckeck or some other programmers software can do its job in the Bootloader menu.
Or O2 UK / Germany has to release a Rom specific for the Orbit so that you do'nt get the message "bad vendor-id"

BTW I messed my Orbit up with the Powermap rom...

try tmouk rom. it might work even w/o ur pda beeing SuperCID. Better try first. It works directly from bootloader

Thanks for the advice, tried it, but after 3% it says "invalid vendor -id".
I've heard that there's a dopod test-rom out there that does'nt verify the vendor id. Who knows where to download it???
Or can I use a "cracked" ROMUpdateUtility.exe?? Is it already out there??

did U use this one:art_tmouk_11311001_024990_wwe_ship?

yes thats the one. I used:
ARTE_DOPODAU_12570702_026990_WWE_SHIP.exe
art_tmouk_11311001_024990_wwe_ship.exe
ART_HTCWWE_11240501_026790_WWE_Test.exe

So I guess only one thing U can do is to send it to Imeicheck, they'll use jtag. or try 2 wait untill there will any free solution

Hi Guys,
I am just waiting for my German Orbit to arrive and I would like to switch to English ROM as soon as possible. I cannot find any more the FTP site with all the rom stored in, can you give me an hint on where to find such English ROMS for the Orbit?
Thanks a lot for your support.

Hi ...
If you had unlocked your Device with IEMI Check, and everything was fine, and you sure that your device is now CID unlocked, than try T-Mobile original ROM (should help) IF not? So ... Welcome Here
Cheers...

I supposte that the only way is find the original O2 GERMAN rom, anyone have it?
I'm stupid, stupid, stupid!!!!

That's strange... I thought that you should be able to flash any ROM after unlocking, not just the original German one. Maybe something went wrong during unlocking? I suggest that you send an email to those guys from imei-check, maybe they can offer you a solution.

I've just sent email to imei support, look:
Hello,
you only can get it back to life with an O2-XDA-German-ROM (which odes not exist right now).
The other option is to send the device to repair (service centre).
The unlocker can NOT work in case your device has a malfunction (it is described in DETAIL that the unlocker requires a working ActiveSync connection on the our web site where you purchase the unlock).

IMEI-CHECK Team

thanks to all.

I Had The Sam Problem

It is posible only if your Device is CID unlocked ... If not ... only service or imei-check...

I apologize for you. My orbit was originary German and locked, so I'm unlocked it with imeicheck utility, so I was installed a HTC wwe ship rom. And yesterday I has a problem with powermap rom. Now I've solved with TMobile rom, I don't know if working because my Orbit was CID unlocked (I belive no, because if now i try to install htc wwe ship rom I've wrond ID error message..) Do you have try to install via bootloader mode? enter in bootloader, so double click on tmobile rom.
bye

2 jokkk3r im using dopod shipped, im quite happy. its +-new dev. it'll take some time till here will be some roms or at least tools for cooking them.but most im waiting for is extrom unlocker like is for universal,thar U can use it like a storage

I have my OS ROM, but I don't know how to put it back to my device in Tri-color screen. anyway, thanks for you help.

Hi,
Your Herald is HTC branded or Dopod..if dopod then just put into bootloader mode and flash the Dopod ROM..it will be alive again

My is HTC Brand

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?

So probaly the end of this moth, but hey deadlines are never made..

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!!!
