I have just killed my xda orbit, HELP Please!!!!!!

Hi,
I am new to this updating pocket pc lark and think i may have ruined my xda orbit. I have been following instructions from within the site and found a few downloads for updated roms and downloaded the "PDAMobiz_Dopod_P800W_AKU301_v1.1.2_PowerMap.exe" and ran it to update my xda orbit. now when the device reboots it stays on the first screen which states:
IPL 1.25.0001
SPL 1.25.0000
GSM 02.67.90
OS 1.28.0.0
Does anyone know how i can fix this?? and please can i have step by step detailed instructions???
god i feel like such an idiot!!

You and many others.
Its not broken - it requires either unlocking and reloading by IMEI-CHECK for 47 quid or wait for the promised O2 WM6 update ROM that hopefully can be used to reflash the OS on to your XDA, the same tools that you used to get yourself in this mess may also get you out of it - i've done exactly the same thing myself.
Or try it on with O2 and see if they will replace it, just say it locked up and when you rebooted it appears that the OS is corrupt/missing.
Cheers,
Steve.

Well you are an idiot - you did not read the first post in the forum - read it and it will tell you what to do.

do you know where i can get the original os from and how i can get it back on my device as my device doesn't appear to connect to my computer anymore.

Any day now - apparantly

Ignore the 'clever', retrospective criticism, from people who will claim that they've never done something similar...
The word is that O2 are due to release an upgrade rom soon, it may be the solution or may just be an upgrade that requires the phone to have a good OS on it already in which case you may need to contact IMEI-CHECK who can do it for under 50 quid.
It's a pity really - if the smart arses here could provide answers as quickly as they can criticism who knows there may be a solution available all ready, after all isn't that what this forum is for?
Just an idea, seeing as though the 'CID unlocking Warning' sticky appeared after dozens of people had made the same mistake, maybe next time the mods could put it up at the time and not after the event? possibly not the case here but it would have saved a shed load of your other members a major headache.

Any ROM?

Hi at all!
Sorry but my english is not very good!
I want to know how I can flash any ROM on my Herald!?? It is not branded (original HTC)! I've read something about CID, can anybody tell me what this means?
Do I have to "unlock the CID" für flashing any ROM on my Herald?

CID lock, is a provider lock so you can not install another ROM on your phone. Look in the Herald thread for HARD-SPL.
But before hand, you have to know what your SPL and IPL is. Go into bootloader(press camera and softreset button and then relase only softreset button) You will get a 3 color display with numbers.
Those numbers should start with SPL/IPL 4 or 5! If you see like: 1.08.0000 eg. then you can't use this program till you upgrade to SPL/IPL 4 or 5.

You do NOT need to CID unlock because Herald users have a backway of flashing. Hard-SPL is a dangerous tool and not 100% compatible with ALL phones. Before using it, be aware that you may brick your device permanently. The other way is MUCH safer. Most of the posted ROMs here use that way, with the occassional (but not always successful while it IS safe) USPL.
Either way, make sure you have a copy of the stock RUU in hand before you begin.

Ok!
I want handle my Herald with this Touch "Style"! And I want that my Herald can handle with micro sdhc cards!
What is the most "risk free" possibility? I dont want to kill my Herald!
My english is not very good, so that I can not read and understand every post!

Any of the ROMs since they all come with "safe" ways to flash. HardSPL is done seperately.

Is it right, that I can flashing any ROM on my Herald?
Do I need to "unlock" my Herald, before this can be done?
On which way can I "unlock" my Herald?
Sorry but I'm a Newbie!!!!

You don't need to unlock anything. You can use any HERALD ROM. There's a thread I created around here that has instructions. Look for it under the Herald Mobile 6 forum and look for "Official flash" thread by ivanmmj.

Ok, thanks man!
I read this post from you http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=349701
What the F*** is Aserg's Policies??? ;-)
Sorry, that I didn't understand you, but I'm VERY STUPID!

Good luck flashing!!!!

Herald Unbrick... At least!

Well, finally I get my device running up again! Unfortunately I wont publish it, maybe I will charge for total solution.
If u are interested, contact me by PM. This is a mail-service, so u have to send your device to me (so you pay for package sending)
Device OS recover 100%, Phone part recovered too.
Dont know If unlocks too bcoz my bricked device was unlocked state. Anyone that wants to send me a locked Herald (to test if unlocks too), would be really appreciated.
Thank you everyone for your support+post and if u want to donate, come on! Its time
See ya s00n
ps. for the Technically Experience devs/users, solution is not what u think its more complex and easy than you'll know!

wait....how did your herald get bricked?
i assume it was during a failed HardSPL

yes dude unfortunately
but the main here is to recover OS area... at least

I bricked mine and have just ubricked it. Its easy, connect USB to PC, enter bootloader, run any RUU wizard.
* Enter bootloader - Press and hold the camera key, then press the soft reset button. Hold the camera button until the bootloader menu shows it. You will see 3 different gradient colors.
For details check http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=327046
Good luck

if the above does not work, try flashing using the USPL

Hi,
I think, it's a good idea. Actually I thought about something like your thread but if you don't mind I will say something in your thread.
I've got the same problem as you've got. Moreover, I've seen a lot of users posting on this forum, which have got such a problem with their Heralds. They boot only in tri-color bootloader mode and even RUU dedicated to our models doesn't work, saying Error 300. When we are trying to use MTTY to run getdevinfo command, as a result we can see error message. That's why RUU can't check the right CID in our devices.
All known solution for Heralds don't work with our problem. We should develop or wait for being developed by someone (Olipro,pof,mestrini,...) suitable solution. There are fine solutions for bricked Wizard or Hermes so it should be the way to unlock our Heralds, too.
My idea is to count all users with bricked Heralds to see the size of the problem and to show our great developers on this forum that it is important to find a way to unbrick our Heralds. Or maybe we should establish the prize for the person who will be the first in finding the unbricking method and than donate him? I think it could motivate some of them...
So, all bricked Herald's users, please leave your post in this thread, to show the world that this is a huge problem!
My Herald is Dopod C858 (I think so, because I'm not the first owner and this is what I was told about)
IPL: 1.11.0001
SPL: 1.11.0001
Regards.

a bricked one
here is one bricked, have htc p3450 with
ipl : 1.08.0001
spl : 1.08.0001
only bootloader and RUU with error 300
hope to find solution.

mine is bricked
IPL 1.08.0001
SPL 1.08.0001
trying with every solution: forced RUU, patched RUU and their DLLs, WM5 emulator, SD-Flashing + heradiag
I was thinking in something.. Do u remember PDAVIET first version for Prophet? You cannot flash PDAVIET WM6 directly.. U have to flash a special PDAVIET WM5 to prophet first, then PDAVIET WM6. And... when u got a bricked prophet device, the solution is...? PDAVIET WM5 special rom
So, i'm on it. working hard!!

Forced RUU? I know that the Univesal has an RUU to bypasses any and all checks and just starts flashing the ROM. I wonder if this would help... I assume the IPL is still fine unless it was overwritten in your devices because it's in a different memory address in devices with an SPL lower than 4.0.0.0. We would have to create our own RUU, though.
EDIT: After some research, this will not work. If the radio was damaged but the radio bootloader was not, there might still be hope, if the radio bootloader was damaged, then it's a no go.

Ive tried with Bepe's RUU (Polaris Premium BEPE ROM) but have no luck... maybe i should try to patch IPL/SPL in RUU check
keep goin...!
UPDATE 2:

HEY
how progress on unbricking
hopefully you get it working

first sorry about my language...
at last , what the members do??? (with IPL:1.08.0001 and error 300 )???
is there any solution?????

all the members with IPL 1.08.0001 and error 300 issue are welcome
ps. need RUU Blank Device application, or a customized RUU
anyone would help?
#2 just waiting days to post a NEW, KILLER topic bcoz im just getting bored

it means we should give our ppcs to repairman to change their motherboard??????????????

no bro, i just not find some support on the members. none of the mods has been presented a "suggestion" to fix our devices. Ive talked with OliPro, seems he have a solution for that, but he's working hard on it. Maybe he can provide some solution for us

How to FIX INVALID MODEL ID after bad flashing

I change the rom and Advantage it´s broken!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The error is ERROR 244 INVALID ID
i have flashed my unlocked athena x7500 with rom 6.1 by irius. the update breaks at 98%.
now i have only pixels on screen, and nothing happens.
in the Bootloadr following:
\
IPL-v1.00
\
SPL-v1.20 Olipro
Help... help... help...

Explain a little more by 'changing ROM'!

I was entering a rom and I was blocking the Athena by making a reset everything returned to normal but I can not enter another rom because I get this error.
As we enter the ATHENA in Bootloader I get:
, @
IPL-V1.00
, @ MFG
SPL-3.50.OliNex
Missing data?

What ROM are you coming from? What ROM did you attempt to install? How are you trying to install it?
I'm still a little confused by 'blocking the Athena by making a reset'
If you are attempting to reflash your device to a different ROM, make sure you follow the instructions posted around the site.
Are you downgrading? Using cmonex downgrader....... I hope I can help but I need a little more information from you on whats going on.
Or maybe someone else can chime in if they get it!!!!

It seems that you did not read taxists instructions that it is for SPL 3.5 only
Why don't you try flashing AP3
Edit:
sorry bit of confusion with what you have done.
Were you on SPL 3.5 originally?
Did you use Cmonexs downgrade file after the failed Taxist flash?
If you did then trying AP3 for SPL 1.XX should work.

if you already managed to screw the modelid, the downgrader won't help, because it only reads the current information (of modelid and wifi) and transfers it to the right place when downgrading.
but the above link always helps. you just need a mac address to enter in the program.

If you use router, the number is there....

Few questions:
How do you mess up the modeID and wifi anyway? Is it flashing to many ROMs? Does this automatically happen with the upgrade to spl 3.5? How does this happen?
Second, I have ran across my the mac address....but I'm having a blank....where can you find that at?

1.48 and 1.61 and 2.01

New member and a proud owner of an HD2 for the last 2 days. I got mine from a vendor in Chicago and it was an O2 branded unlocked phone. Not a big deal, after spending about 3 hrs trying to understand all the details of how to upgrade from 1.43 to 1.48. But i am trying to understand if 1.61 is an official HTC release, if so where can i download the ROM. Is there a Sticky which explains the diff between the ROMS. Is 2.01 coming out as an official HTC update or is it a cooked ROM. Is there a way to create a gold card without the help of the QMAT guys because they will be discotinuing their service soon. Please help me answer these questions, so that I never have to leave the WM paltform and go to IPHONE again. I love WM but just never worked for me. It looks like this HD2 might actually be working in my favor, so far happy.

I don't think you can make gold image without the qmat but the is really simple process that I follwed and it worked like a charm. 1.61 is the htc official realease for turkey region and is very fast and stable 2.01 is work in progress. here is the link to follow for gold image. this is the esiest to follow http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=602448

1.61
can someone post a link in the sticky for the 1.61rom so that everyone looking for it can have easy access. I have tried the fourm search option but it cannot search for numbers only. Or may be i am not doing it right.

Hi - just to tag onto the end of this one. I did the goldcard thingy last night....i have an english o2 branded phone (or i did have at least) its stock 1.48 now. So, here's the question? have i got to run through the entire goldcard walkthrough from the start to go to the turkish rom ? and do i have to generate another goldcard thing again from qmat or can i use the same one?
Thanks

No! You have to do the Goldcard only once! then you can use it as much as you want unles you format it afcourse!

I've formatted my card (quick format) and it still works....
