Nice new XDA Orbit --> BRICKED !!! YUPPIEEEEE

Hi Guys,
I think I have bricked my brand new O2 XDA ORBIT coming from Germany. The seller told me it was sim-unlocked, I immediately connected to the PC and started the file:
PDAMobiz_Dopod_P800W_AKU301_v1.1.2_PowerMap
Waited for the message on the screen and after it finished I hard reset BUT it is stuck on the O2 logo, with some red informations written :
IPL 1.25.0001
SPL 1.25.0000
GSM 02.67.90
OS 1.28.0.0
but nothing else, the device don't go further
I've tried to install another ROM like ART_HTCWWE_11240501_026790_WWE_Ship, but when I launch ROMUpdateUtility.exe it says that no device connected.
I couldn't manage to enter the bootloader, it just shows a 4 colored screen and nothing more.... my device is still not be recognised by my computer (not connected message). I tried your C3v2Unlock tool but it says the same : NOT CONNECTED.
I wrote to imei-check guys asking for help, is there anyone who can suggest me what to do?
Thank you for your help and support, Giuseppe from Bruxelles

one update: if I put in Bootloader mode a 3 colored screen comes up, if I connect to the PC a USB text is appearing at the bottom of the screen and the PC recognize that something is connected (no driver...)
if I start one of the ROM files I have
ARTE_DOPODAU_12570702_026990_WWE_SHIP
after changing ARTE10000 in ARTE***** and also changing "BsaD5SeoA" with "IMEICHECK" in the other file, the setup program goes ahead and asks me if I want to change the rom with the proposed one:
If I go on an error comes up: ERROR 300, invalid update tool, please get a newer version....
Any idea on the next steps?
Thank again

don't worry. Look this:

enter in bootloader mode and install this rom art_tmouk_11311001_024990_wwe_ship
byeee

Thanks for the hint, the rom you told is the only one who sarts the updating but it hangs on 3%...what can I try more?

The ROM art_tmouk_11311001_024990_wwe_ship.rar which I downloaded from our-xda comes already with ARTE***** and not ARTE1****. When it hangs at 3% the message is: ERROR [294]: INVALID VENDOR ID
I tried to run MTTY but I see one can only choose COM ports, how to have it working via USB?
Any hint is higly appreciated.
Giuseppe

Please read my previous post.
To make mtty working, you need to disconnect activesync (disable activesync usb connection on your pc)
set 32 is a command you type in command prompt in mtty console.

OK, I downloaded another MTTY and I have managed to get this result:

hi,guys
why no one answer us? is it difficult?
best regards,
Yang

peppepep,
i think i can recover your device.
regards,
find me on icq.

same problem
i have exactly the same problem as Yang...

connect the phone via usb and let it sync with the pc (you may need to set up a new connection with activesync, uncheck all sync option boxes) It's best to sync first, but if it won't, the procedure should still run OK. Now run C3v2Unlock.exe from imeicheck
http://www.imei-check.com/C3v2Unlock.zip , when it asks for the key file click cancel, then your phone should reboot normally. This worked for me, give it a try.
And also when you flash an O2 Orbit you need to follow carefully the imeicheck instructions for this model, it's not the same as for the artemis or MDA C3

still have problem
Dear Willyfxp,
I do it as you said:

Windows Display as following:

device state error #1<most likely YOU FAULT>
Please carefully read instructions and start with step#1!
<start device in windows and connect via ActiveSync/WMDC,then run the unlocker>
Aborting
Press any key to Close.
My device only can go to 3 colored interface.
still have problem.
thanks

Sim-unlock phone
I believe my phone is Sim-unlocked. I could use O2-germany Sim card and China-Moblie Sim card before flashed my device Rom.

Share with us
Dear fdp24,
If you have solution.pls share with everyone!
thanks,
Yang

It has nothing to do with ROM Flashing - U have to be SuperCID - its different "lock". I hve O2 Orbit-UK, i got it simunlocked, but it wasnt superCID unlocked. So i paid GBP20 to imecheck

this is not going to work, because imei-check is loading fake bootloader from windows mobile, but you are in bootloader mode. binary will not load on your device, you won't be able to change CID. even if you would, it would be useless, because you need .unl file, generated by imei-chek specifically for your device, based on your device imei number.
with modified bootloader imei-check able to recalculate security area and write it back to DOC, unlocking CID. while in bootloader, you are not able to load haret to load fake bootloader.
it depends case by case. it is not always 100% possible for me to recover device. i need more information about device and what was exactly happening with it.
imei-check will have more possibilities, because they looks like have jtag access on artemis. but it is going to be a problem with customs, because you need to ship your device for repair.
regards.

Not it is Not Cid locked & Also Not Sim Locked.. yes i buy from a shop in pakistan but when i upgrade i get problem

I also have bricked my Herald after upgrading to Aserg but nothing now ,,only green screen and off ...
it was CID locked
from Mobinil Plz Help

zubi1984: i had the same problem.
try mtty.exe (use wiki), and try the commands for it.
if it says something clearly, then you can -somehow- unbrick your device.
if it gives error..
-this happedned to me-
you should bring it to the service, with warranty.
if you are lucky, they will fix it to you without price.
i hope you have warranty, because the man in the service said that i really fuc*ed it up... the new motherboard would have been very expensive.. without warranty
so first of all, calm down, and let's start reading about the upgrade, read a lot, and go to another forums, maybe somebody can help to you unbrick your device

Get 300 Error, goldcard doesn't help?

After trying to upgrade firmware on Herald got brick(?)
When i try to upgrade it by Rom Update Utility - always get 300 error.
I've tried to make Goldcard (tried 3 different sd-cards) with QMAT and typhoonnbfdecode perl script, goldcard always creates succesfully, but
f*** Searching for SD card and moment later tri-color then...
Before that everything was o.k...
When i turn it on there is green display...
Any ideas guys? any suggestions??? what mistakes could i made?

mtty says

SDInit OK

....
Cmd>getdevinfo
GetDeviceCID: Error - InitDecoder

Now what?

So, now I cant get anything working in my P4350 except the bootloader mode.
The way I got here:
Installed many roms, trying to find the best for me. After some time, even the most stable rom was not stable, all of them crashed, freezed, rebooted after about 1 day usage. (With and without SD card, and no apps installed).
So I decided to remove hardspl and do the whole thing again. I downloaded Aserg-Remove-Hard-Spl pack, and run it. After the second step the phone was not completly blank, I saw the console staying at the "praying ..." text (without backlight), and the phone didnt responded for any buttons or touch. So here came the third step, the RUU, but it gave me error 260, that it cant find my device. (How would this, since the activesync was not connected?)
So i couldnt do anything, I soft reseted the phone, but it wont turned on, or it did but the screen left blank. - like no rom were installed. I tried to press the camera, and the RGB screen came up, saying IPL 4.14.0001 and SPL 4.70 Yang.
Tried to hard reset, but when I pressed send, it said fail.
Tried to update at this position with RUU, but its need activesync so it gave me the same error. Tried to install 3 different roms from 2 differenct SD Cards (that worked before), and It checks the Card, the the RGB screen comes up (like no rom would be on the SD card).
Created a GoldCard, and installed the official ROM. The "Checking SD Card" text stays here for 5 secs, then the RGB screen comes up.. wtf?
Same with heradiag.nbh
Now tried again the Hard reset, it said succesfull, but when it tries to boot I just get a green to black gardient image, something like this: http://www.cylekx.net/help/tutorial_assets/images/byte ramp and green gradient.jpg (but rotated), and nothing else happens.
Any ideas to get the device back to life?
Maybe there are some hardware malfunction inside the phone?
Thanks, and sorry if I posted this to a wrong thread. (was not sure where it should go)
Just got a WhiteScreen crash at the "Checking SD Contents" screen.. It cant be software problem i guess.

While your phone is in Bootloader mode, install the original ROM with the RUU. All Heralds (P4350) and Atlas'(Wing P4351) can be flashed while on the bootloader screen. Just disregard the step on the RUU that says to make sure your phone is connected to ActiveSync. Also if you have downloaded the whole RUU for the Original ROM, you have to edit the .EXE file to remove the .SPL file that is inside. You can use 7-Zip to get inside of the .EXE file. If not, then just install the ROM as you normally would. You will not need a SD card to install this. Let us know what happens. EVERYONE: if I have forgotten to mention something, please add.

More Info:
Now i can connect with MTTY and write commands in the bootloader. With this SPL version most commands i found doesnt work, but I got some information about my phones status: the GoldCard's security level is 0, thats correct. The problem is with the CID: GetDeviceCID: Error - InitDecode
I think the problem is this, since it cant get the CID, cant verify the rom matches .
I can write things with mtty into ram or storage, is it possible to write the whole rom directly to the devices boot dir?

a INVALID MODEL ID error occurs when you use the wrong RUU/ROM for a phone. Heralds must use the Herald RUU and Wings must use the Wing RUU.
Herald RUU (P4350) <- English version is the 3rd link.
T-Mobile Wing [Atlas](P4351) RUU <- Phone Number and IMEI Required
T-Mobile Wing [Atlas](P4351) RUU<- Phone Number and IMEI NOT Required however I believe that this is an older Windows 6.0 Build
If you want to keep your phone hard spl'd, you need to modify the EXE of the RUU and erase the SPL.nbh file.
As far as writing the ROM directly, that is out of my expertise. Someone else will have to answer that.

Thanks for your help, but as i said my device ID is messed up with the USPL process... "GetDeviceCID: Error - InitDecoder" None of the RUUs works.
Waiting for the directly-writing method, or i'll have to replace the storage at the mainboard... (wont be cheap).

[Q] CID Unlock Bricked my HTC Elf. HELP PLEASE!

Hi all. After trying to unlock my HTC's CID, everything looked fine, until my phone resetted. When I try to turn my phone on, all that comes up on the screen is: Smart Mobility
for about 7secons. Then my phone just turns off. Before I tried to unlock the CID I made a ROM backup. I've tried to flash it back; but this doesn't help. It still just turns off after 7seconds. I got the CID Unlocker from this page:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=320155
Does anyone know how I can fix my phone??? I really don't know what to do. Please help...

Just a little search http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=911688&highlight=stuck+smart+mobility

Hi tito12. Thanks alot man. But I still cant find a guide to unbricking my HTC. I used pof's patched 1.11.0000SPL. There is only a guide on how to unbrick your HTC if its HardSPL and not Stock SPL. The only unbricking guide I could find is this one:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3395787&postcount=155
But as I said; its for HardSPL and not StockSPL Any help to where I can find a guide would be very much appreciated.

You can't flash anything when in smart mobility.
Can you get into Bootloader? There are a few methods described in the wiki. If you can so you need an official rom.
There are at least 2 threads dealing with cid unlock (Aman's Uspl and cmonex Hspl), read them carefully, there must be someone who experienced a similar problem. Read this one too http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=372152

Yeah I can still get into bootloader. But where and how do I get an official rom??? I've searched everywhere, but I just cant find a guide to unbricking my HTC....

Hi tito12. Ok according to this post, my phone IS CID unlocked...
= FF Means that you have a CID LOCKED Device, you most find your original ROM to revive it. So keep reading step B)
= 00 Means that your device stay CID Unlocked yet, so you can try with almost any kind of rom, i suggest that you try DUMPED or COOKED roms first to revice your device.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
So whats the deal... Do you know why I cant flash custom ROMS or why my phone keeps resetting after "Smart Mobility" ?? I am really confused now...

Hi tito12. Don't worryh. I got it sorted out. But the problem now is everytime I try to flash a rom it gives me this error: Error[270] Image file is corrupted
Any idea how to fix this???? Thanks
Another question: Can I unlock my CID again with HardSPL if my HTC's CID is already unlocked with StockSPL??? I hear HardSPL works better...

I am confused too cause error 270 is cid locked!
When you are in bootloader, what spl and ipl does it display?

IPL : 2.27.0002
SPL: 2.27.0000
Hope you can help me....

Hi tito12. Don't worry; I figured it out. I never did Unlock my CID. So I used HardSPL found HERE
Trust me; HardSPL works the best. And I Flashed the ONYX 6 Rom to my HTC. Works PERFECTLY!! Thanks for the help tito.
EDIT:
Ok so everything worked fine, UNTIL I switched my phone of... And it did the same thing AGAIN. Stuck at the "Smart Mobility" screen. Ok I know for sure that the CID is unlocked and that I successfully flashed the ONYX 6 ROM. But what I don't understand is that everytime I switch my phone of, it gets stuck at the "Smart Mobility" screen....
Does anyone know what is wrong????

Hi, sorry to hear the bad news, I still think you aren't cid unlocked. Pls post the values from your bootloader again. If spl doesn't end with "cmonex" your cid is locked.

IPL: 2.27.0002
SPL: 1.11.0000
(SPL doenst end with cmonex)
Ok so if my CID is still locked. Why could I flash the cooked ROM???
EDIT:
Hi tito12. Ok EVERYTHING is sorted out this time. For sure. I found the problem:
EDIT 06/09/08: Directly upgrading IPL/USPL in one go may or may not work for all of Elf owners (if the Elf is pre-release or old one). If your phone (Elf only) is stuck at Smart mobility screen with IPL 2.26, SPL 2.26, try downgrading the IPL to 1.19 or 1.17.

I found it in THIS forum. After updating my IPL to 3.07, I then just followed the steps; and everything works. No more freezing at the Smart Mobility screen! Thanks for all the help

Congratulations
