Hi,
Just wondered if anyone could please give even some brief instructions on how to go about flashing an XDA Orbit with Artemis_Touch_4.01_Full.
I have searched but there just doesn't seem to be any step by step guide. I'm running WM6 and have a Vista based pc with the above ROM downloaded, but can't figure out how to go about flashing and don't want to brick my phone.
Any help woud be greatly appreciated!
Cheers
Ok its pretty easy enough. First u gotta make your Orbit "unlocked". This is done by flashing USPL to it (which I guess stands for "Upgraded Service Provider Lock" or something like that). This will also make it CID unlocked (which I guess stands for "Country ID" or whatever). Anyway doesnt really matter what they stand for.
Once this is done, you can now flash your ROM to your Orbit because there shouldnt be any locks in the way stopping you.
....Meschle has made these steps pretty simple in all of his ROMs.
1 - connect your Orbit to your PC and make sure it connects to ActiveSync OK
2 - if the ROM is in a .rar then extract it and run "STEP 1 - activesync then uspl cid unlocking.bat"
3 - once thats done and you have followed the instructions that appear and your Orbit has been reset (or rebooted, whatever), reconnect to PC and ActiveSync again, then run "STEP 2 - activesync then flash artemis touch rom.bat"
....and there you go, once everything is finished and your Orbit is rebooted, you now have a brand new ROM on your Orbit. This will wipe your data (much like formatting your hard drive with a new operating system) so make sure to backup. And maybe try running "STEP 2 - activesync then flash artemis touch rom.bat" two or three times, sometimes it helps.
thanks fubofo for easy instruction, i have orbit with wm5 and to unlock i use this

I think SPL means Service Provider Lock (like O2 or Orange) or something like that. USPL is basically a patched SPL that you write to your Orbit. Just follow the instructions on that post and when your Orbit restarts, just check (at the very start, in top left corner in red font) that the SPL displays 1.11. If it does then your unlocked and ready for flashing new ROMs
thanks fubofo for your instructions,
i done that and its working perfect, just one more question, what if i want to change with some other rom can i do this?

Hey, glad everything worked out OK. Yeah, now that your USPL is 1.11 you flash whatever ROMs you like whenever you like. Trust me it gets a bit hectic at times, so many new ROMs every week or so lol.

this only thread i seen tonight that tells you so simply how you know if yuor CID unlocked the only otherone i saw you had to run NHtool that didnt work for me anyway so thanks alot that was such a useful bit of info
LOL thanks, although there are definately alot of other posts that describe flashing ROMs
Okay, so I'm an idiot. I'm completely lost now. Here's the basic facts:
Hard-SPL install was unsuccessful, but I didn't notice. So I'm still with original SPL.
I started upgrading the ROM with original SPL, which of course crashes at 3 percent.
Now I can't get back into WM. It's stuck at the 'smart mobility screen'.
So the problem is: it won't let me install any ROMs because original SPL is still on there. I can't change to hard-SPL anymore either. The ROM that's on the machine doesn't seem to work anymore. When I try to install an original ROM it says I can't use this utility. I think I need to download an official ROM + installer, but I can't find any from HTC.
Alright, so skip all the noob and idiot comments please, I already know. But where do I go from here?
Please help!

Okay, so I did the hard reset as described here. No luck.
So I went back to the bootloader screen (original SPL) and tried the original rom and installer from the download link. Again, no luck. It says "Error [294] Invalid Vender ID. This utility cannot be used for your PDA phone. Please check your update utility." The phone was unlocked when I bought it, it's HTC branded. Is there another installer out there?
I've also tried loading several roms by putting them on SD, renamed as POLAIMG.nbh. (including the orginal rom, extracted from the downloaded installer). For the original Rom, it will say 'loading...', then 'checking...' and then it will tell me: "00028002 - not allow". Then it goes back to the three colour spl screen.
There's also a link here on the forum which I'm not sure is good advice.

Hi
Ths info I posted relates to the Kaiser (kaiser [nearly] equals Polaris in terms of hardware) and the MTTY is from the ELF forum.
"set 16 0" to tell bootloader to boot the OS after reset.
"task 8" to get your device formatted
I suggest the set 16 0 and a reset to see if that helps, I do advocate you searching for these commands and checking they are applicable.
The info was from this KAISER thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=2103884

MTTY
Thanks for your advice guys.
I tried the "set 16 0" command + reset. Still same situation.
Any other tips anyone?

No more reponses?
It is probably bricked then.
So what's my next move...trash it?

I think he wrote already that he tried to flash some ROMS using SD card... (POLAIMG.NBH). Not sure though if he tried re Hard-SPL'ing using the SD flash method...
So I would suggest to retry the HardSPL using the POLAIMG.NBH method (just as if the HardSPL's .NBH file was a normal ROM) if this hasn't been tried yet...
Hey you must careffuly read mtty in kaiser thread.....mtty can brick your device for entire life.....my advice to you is pm GSLEON3
he's the master of using mtty and lot of kaiser user saved by him...
Hope this can help you
cheers
The Facts
When I try to hard-spl through the SD-card, it just says "Loading..." and that's where it stays - Even if I leave it till the battery dies. I tried the 2.10 and 1.10 versions on this page.
Are you sure? This Hard SPL suit for Hermes. You have to use this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=375338

Hard-SPL through SD
You're right; I did notice that - however
I had to take an nbh from this page. The reason is that the HTC Cruise Hard-SPL program I found on this page won't let me extract the rom.
I need the rom file to put in on SD!
The Hermes one probably wouldn't work anyway though, thats a good point Where to get the Polaris separate rom nbh? I haven't found it on the forums. Maybe I'm going blind...

1. You can not flash hard-spl with microSD method! (hard-spl flash use jumpspl to ignore cid-lock. But with microSD card method you will not use jumpspl, so you can not flash hard-spl! (and to use microSD method you have to have hard-spl on your pda)
2. If you unzip hard-spl on your pc will be an RUU_signed.nbh. This is the rom file, but you can not to flash it with microSD.
3. Your device is bricked, I think. Take it to repair!
after an unsuccessful flash, u shud never try to flash again, high chance of permanently bricking your pda. go contact GSLEON3, he saved my kaiser from bricking when i made the same mistake as u. helpful fellow. make sure u donate lol
Accepted Defeat
Hi
I accepted defeat and exchanged the unit.
Thanks for all the help.

I was asked to patch USPL for ROM size checking when flashing via RUU, so this version does not check size even when flashing via USB. (original SPL skips the size checks only when SD flashing.)
I did this a few days ago, but didn't get around to posting it
download from attachment, enjoy! donations are always appreciated to the "To Cmonex" link in my signature
how to use it: if you already have a version of artemis USPL installed, simply flash this new version using RUU or from SD (ARTEIMG.NBH on FAT32 formatted SD)
in bootloader (tricolour mode) it should then say version: 1.11.cmon
for instructions on installing any USPL if you have no USPL yet - check out: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=311403 until I have more time/motivation for userfriendly packaging
more plans: if I get time/motivation I might upgrade this to be full HSPL (overwrite protection)
Well done Cmonex..!
Thanks so much.
Peoples of Artemis forum wait it long times already.
Thread Sticked.
Cheers ..!

But I dont really understand. Can Flash under vista ou seven with no drivers ?
it's the same process.
The difference is that you can flash any rom without size limits.
Before you only could do this with SD Card method.
not working
its not working
it gives the same error : invalid size
canu explain step by step plzzzz
Is you bootloader showing SPL 1.11.cmon?
i have replaced the nbh file of artemis uspl with this one
then started uspl after that once it gets over i started
ruu upgrade utility
thats the way how it is done or something else
during this process no bootloader screen comes
And where is the response to my question? ....

I want to thank you very much for this useful work. However I couldn't try it yet Because at the end of the rom update utility application (I mean %100) it gives a error 270 udate error image file corrupted. Please check your update utility I have tried all these attempts while my phone is at the bootloader mode.
Thank you in advance

Hello!
Is there any way to load USPL from bootloader (without ActiveSync)?

Hi all,
I'm a newbie here so sorry of this type of problem has previously been solved in a later thread. If so I couldnt find it.
Several months ago I returned from China to Germany with my Dopod C858 with stock windows in English, I found a link on how to upgrade the PDA to a cooked rom ( I cant quite remember which one but I worked fine and looked quite smart compared to the standard windows layout) nedless to say several days later I was not quick enough with the charger and let it run flat. After charging nothing worked anymore!! I can get boot loader (ISPL 1.09.0001 SPL 1.09.0001) and thats it. I have tried every possible way appart from gold card to reinstall a rom but always have either error 240,264,300 take your pick its different every time. I am running vista 32 (Prophet tools vista driver ). Please help with some suggestions or guidance how I can restore it..
Ps Active sync or even widows mobile device centre doesnt recognise it though if I go into Properties/Device Manager it comes up as a HTC Mobile device
Many thanks
You need to flash your original carrier ROM. Go into bootloader, hook up your phone via USB and flash it. Then you should have an updated IPL/SPL of 4.xx.xxxx, after which you can then apply HardSPL and flash another custom ROM if you like.
1. This is NOT a ROM Development thread. I moved it. Please post in the correct sectio next time.
2. It has been covered many times.
3. You flashed using USPL or HardSPL but your SPL is below 4.0 They're both incompatible with your SPL.
4. Your only fix will be a gold card. Search for it and you will find detailed instructions on how to fix it.
Moved?
Where did you move my thread to please?

LOL, wow.
I'm having a little problem with the super display of my BIG(marvelous)HD2..
Now after some months of playing with roms and others, i have two stains/halos near/under the battery connectors and processor..(anyone has the same ?)
I'm thinking to deliver it in Htc center
but surely not with the AxLor 10 rom flashed in...
So to reset it in Factory condition how i have to do?
I was thinking to execute Task29, and then install the 1.66 original rom
but i don't now if its all right,probably i forgot some things..
so pleeeeeeeeeeeese
can someone help me?
Thanks!!!!!

That's all you need to do mate!!!
Your HD2 will be in the very first condition from HTC.
Task29 will remove the rom and when you put your original rom back on, you can do it 1 of 2 ways:
- either flash it via sd card, or
- flash via pc and then run HSPL2 and change hspl back to spl 1.66.0000
The removal of hspl is key as most service centres will check for this

Check your spl version to make sure hspl has been removed
Sorry Clyde..
how to check?
the original rom upgrade is an exe file so, i think i will be ok the spl on tasked29 memory.. i think..
probably this afternoon i'll try all..i'll let you know!

No, running the exe file will not replace the spl version. This can only be done if you flash the rom.nbh file via the sd card.
The easiest way though is to run the exe and then use hspl2 to revert to your stock spl. To check your spl version, switch the device off and then while holding the volume down button in switch the device on. It will boot up in a multicoloured screen and will display the spl version.
i executed the task29 by ShaDrac ( with radio....)
now when i enter in boot loader: picture it's really bad.. I have:
PB81100 HK-BC
SPL-1.42.HSPL XE
0x05
CotullaHSPL 0x30
i don't think it's ok.. I'm not sure..
reading CotullaHSPL, it means it was not factory default.. or not ? bhuuuu..
the rom now is 1.66..
pleeeze it's factory default now?
its only stock once the spl ends .0000
like clyde mentioned, your next step is to run hspl2 and choose an spl that ends 0000, and that will remove the 1.42.hspl and replace it with stock.
Go for 1.66.0000 since that is the rom you are running.
thanks today i'll try now i have to gooo
thaaaaaankz
NO, the 1.66 rom comes with the 1.42 SPL, flash that.

then i'm thinking to keep the original rom just tweaked with cookie's super add-onS and somethings else,preventing any problems...
yea thats fine.
ok.... i have finally got my hd2 2 the point where im happy with all apps and mods ect ect... however i am lookin 4 a way 2 restore it 2 the exact original i got out of the box... i mean everything restored... reg entrys... rom... spl... ect ect as i have changed and rechanged everything so many times i think i have a few bugs.... so my plan is 2 restore everything and set it to how i have it now in 1 go so i dont ''piss it off'' in random changes... my specs are below in my signature which look pretty standard but i have done many registry tweaks and installed many applications which i have chopped and changed many times... also tried to install duttys rom many times but that kept failing and hspl would never install so that could maybe be a small factor in the few bugs i have... the main bugs are to do with random freezing here and there... battery drain... and overall performance... im aware some of this is due to the apps i have installed but i had a very simmilar setup a short while ago and this worked fine... but as im never happy with what i have i messed around a lil more and here i am... so any advice would be grately aprieciated... and if any software is required could u possibly post the links....??? many thanks in advance... luke
