New ROM version 1.12.405.01 WWE (2006-11-06)

A new test ROM for the HTC Artemis is available on xda-developers!
ROM Version: 1.12.405.1 WWE (World Wide English)
Radio Version: P4.1.13.28_02.67.9
Bootloader: 1.12.0000
CID: HTC__001
You can find the ROM upgrade on the "Shipped Complete ROM" section of the Artemis wiki page or in xda-developers ftp:
ART_HTCWWE_11240501_026790_WWE_Test.exe
I don't own an Artemis and can't test it so I don't know what's on this ROM and what's different from the previous one, if you try it please post details about it.
Enjoy!

Hi thanks for the ROM. It's good to see support even before the device is released! (at least in my country..)
It's gonna be released as the Dopod P800W here, and I was wondering if I can use this ROM *in case* the Dopod one isn't as good.
Havent tried with hacked ROMs before (didnt have appropriate device) that's why I'm asking.
Thanks.

Thanks for the ROM.
I tried to update it but i get "INVALID MODEL ID".
Is there a hacked ROMUpdateutility.exe already out?
I tried to update with the hacked one from the HTC Prophet but it always tells my File not found but the filename is the same so i think HTC did a good job here to prevent it.
Any ideas?

i already have that version in my artemis from the begining

your device seems to flashed with pre-production bootloader. I sorry to say that, but you need to upgrade your bootloader first. Otherwise you would not be able to flash new firmware to your device.

Did you find other improvements? i.e. more stable gprs connection data?
Whats really mean test rom? Only a non certified rom, or it introduce something other to test the unity stability and then make a log o something similar?
Thanks in advance for the reply.

Hi,
im new here.
How i can update the bootloeder, beacuse i also get the message error invalid model ID
thanks for your help

The only one reason why I reflash my device was that originally it was with the French ROM, so it was unappropriated for me.
So now I have this "Test WWE" ROM on my device and did not notice any difference with "certified French" ROM. Only one thing, when you soft-resetting the device, it will show screen says "TEST UI..... blah-blah-blah".

Is there a problem with the ftp? Or howcome I can not download the file?
I just bought a french version. Now I would like to set it up in english as far as possible. Any ideas what I need to do, and how I get hold of the correct ROMs?

I can download it... check that no firewall is blocking you.

Thanks, problem solved. downloading the art_tmuk. This is the a released full version for the UK? I have got a french version on mine today.
Do I just have run the .exe file or do I need to do something more?
Regards,
Johan

WM6 upgrade wrong language

Hi,
I have a P3300, I bought in China. It came with an English WM5 rom. I registered the device on the HTC Club Support site to get the WM6 upgrade. So I was very happy that now it came out but then the bummer: it will only let me download the dutch version. No idea why.
So I have to questions: Can I somehow change the language to English after upgrading? Second is it possible to write HTC support to give me an English WWE version instead?
I don't want to install any pirated version that will brick my device, therefore I waited a long time for the official update to come out and now I cannot use it? Neither do I want to install the dutch version (since I do not speak any dutch) and not being able to restore my English one.
Btw, does anyone have an idea why it will only let me download dutch even if my system is English?
Thanks for any help!

English version is fully available on this forum please see the WM6 upgrading topic. the one of TOM CODON is a very good choice.

cyberhoschi:
each htc device is identified with imei (unique number). imei number is linked to country, where device was originally sold.
if after registration on htc, you are presented with dutch rom, then device is dutch. normally, you are not able to buy device with english rom in China. it was re-flashed with engl. rom. in this case, service center already can tell you that you violate the warranty.
what you can do/
- download dutch rom from htc (original rom for your device). good idea if you have wm5 and wm6 handy. this is the rule - before flashing, always have original rom for your device. if things will go bad, you can go back to original rom.
- using uspl, you can re-flash with any rom (almost any, uspl needs some patching).
- if you try to flash dutch device with engl. wm6 htc rom, it will most likely will not flash even with uspl installed. to correct this, you need to extract files with winrar utility from flasher (.exe file, a new rom)
- open .nbh file (one of extracted files) in winhex or other hex editor and modify model id.
example:
if you want to flash dutch device with engl. rom, you will need to modify HTC__001 to code relevant for Holland. alternatevely, you can put 11111111, it should work too.
- save .nbh file.
- perform flashing as you would nornally do.

I need to flash finnish rom HTC_P3300_FIN_3.13.414.1_4.1.13.44_02.94.90_Ship_R, and it has
string HTC__I14 starting in address 000001e0h.
My original rom has string HTC__001 in that same spot.
Should the new rom flash successfully if I change HTC__I14 to HTC__001? (Or 11111111)
Am I getting this right?

Same issue
I had this same issue, and i contacted HTC support with my serial number. Apparently, because i bought my from Hong Kong when it first came out, I have a different version then the version posted on the HTC main site for the U.S.A. I had to Choose Hong Kong -English as my country and download that version.
http://www.htc.com/hk-en/supportdownloadlist.aspx?p_id=59&act=sd&cat=all
You may want to check that link or other countries on HTC's web site. They will verify if that version will work before you download.

You have to hard-spl first before you can use custom roms.

Update not available for my Serial

Hi
My current version is 1.48, I just got the phone and wanted to update to the latest 1.66. When I put my serial in on the HTC site it says:
"Sorry, this software download is not suitable for your device."
What Can I Do??? I do not want to be stuck on 1.48 and would prefer not to void my warranty..
Im on MTN South Africa if that helps at all.

If you don't want to void your warranty then there's nothing you can do. Even if you could download it, you wouldn't be able to flash your phone with it.
You could use HSPL so that you can then flash the newer ROM, but you would need to reflash the original ROM and then remove HSPL if you ever needed to send your phone for repair.

Sorry, but...
... that is the same problem with any HD2 that is "Branded" => when you turn on your phone, you see a flash screen during the boot with your phone company's logo. For these phones you need to get the ROM-Update directly from your phone company and not HTC. The companies are really slow in rolling out the Updates - if at all.
Don't feel bad - we're having the same problem here in Europe (some of us stuck with ver. 1.43).
You could use one of the custom ROMs on this site and if there is a warranty issue, just replace it with the original - provided the phone has not totally died - prior to submitting it for service.

my phone is not branded and i get the same error when trying to download new rom. Im from Slovenia

My phone has one or two apps from the Service Provider but there is no branding when starting the phone. I did not have this problem with my Nokia N95 from the same SP and it had the same aps on.

The same issue is here in he UK with Vodafone. The handset is unbranded but the serial numbers have been blocked by HTC to get updates until they've been tested by the service provider. The only way of getting the update is to use HSPL.

how many of these threads do we need? does no one use the search function on forums anymore?

Roms are region dependant AND provider dependant. a slovenian phone will be tied to teh east european rom, not the wwe rom.

Thats actually comforting news (the fact that the hd2 is unbranded on vf, not that we have to wait).... does this mean that as per their website its unlocked to other networks too, as I need to use 3 other sims in it depending on country I am in... thanks

Change ROM to SEA version?

I just got a HTC Hero, I supposed it's from some Eastern Europe country as I can only select countries like Poland, Chech, Romania etc. from language and locale. I'd prefer to set the locale my country (Cambodia) although I doubt there is this option. And I want to have Chinese input as built in.
I did an upgrade to RUU_Hero_HTC_WWE_2.73.405.5_WWE_release_signed_NoD river.exe downloaded from HTC website, but there's no different. I only found there's a link to this RUU_Hero_HTC_Asia_SEA_WWE_2.73.728.5_release_signe d_NoDriver.exe and my question is:
Can I upgrade ROM from one region to another, in my case to South East Asian version?
Thanks!

sure you can.
good luck!

thank you, i'll try that.

[update]
Upgrade fail. when everything seems to complete, i got "error[131]: Checking Custom ID" on PC and "Checking Custom ID, upgrade failed" on phone.
any help please?

you have to have rooted first!
