Noobs beware!
As a number have been flashing their devices with various roms not from their own carrier or country or cooked roms and bricking their device - I put up this sticky. Your device must be cid unlocked first before you do this. This applies to the coming wm6 roms to - if the rom is not specific to your device - i.e. if you try to flash the upcoming htc 3300 wm6 rom on O2 orbit - you must cid unlock first - with imei check or you will end up with a BRICK!
This does not apply if you are only updating the os http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=299154 or radio.
cid = country id i.e. locked to that country/language/vendor
cid unlock for the artemis is here with USPL http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=311403 (thanks pof)
or here http://www.imei-check.com/c3unlock.php (costs though)
Bricked devices
If you have flashed your device and not cid unlocked it, your device maybe salvagable if you can get it into bootloader mode.
Hold down the voice speed dial button and soft reset - you should then enter bootloader mode 'multicolored' screen'
If you do, attach device to pc via usb cable (a small usb will appear bottom left of screen) and flash factory rom. (run rom executable or RUU updater from pc) You do not need to be activesynced to do this.

You do need the factory rom for your device and then flash it from bootloader mode. Contact the dealer you bought your phone from or htc denmark.
ah for me too little too late.......... still waiting for an O2 rom the bloody bas*ards!!
Whoops!
Just a little too late! Anyone want to buy a bricked XDA Orbit? ;-)
Does anyone here work for the carriers? Can they provide an official O2 ROM to fix out bricked Orbit?

Its only truely bricked if the bootloader is damaged - if you can get into bootloader mode you can salvage with the factory rom.

Well you need the factory rom from o2 - o2 have not released it so there is a problem. I have not found any links to download this rom or a link to a dumped rom. I will ask others in the team if they know a link and let you know.
Did you manage to get into bootloader mode?

Yeah the device goes into the bootloader mode. If you could find out where i can get the factory rom from that would be great. Also if i could have instructions how to upload the rom in the bootloader mode i would really appreciate it.

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?

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!!!

You need to flash original rom matching your CID, this means the SAME language and the SAME operator/carrier ROM that was originally on your device when you bought it. After flashing this rom device will boot again.

Where did you buy your phone? What type is it? Is it an actual HTC Herald? if you bought it from a cell carrier, maybe you can log into their site and download it there.

can u download a Super CID form SD-memory on Bootloader for whom couldnt enter the WM and make "ActiveSync" On.?
discuss if it possible or not
well any one help
What do you use to get the ROM to the device? - do u use custom RUU? Because it can load the ROM to your device if it is connected to the PC by USB and if it is in bootloader mode. (If your tri-color screen says USB on the bottom it should work. You do not need AS to flash a ROM.
Edit: forget it - I just noticed that Elf CID unlocker needs working AS. However you can try to flash a ROM with matching CID (from your provider - i.e. if you have Orange branded elf use Orange ROM, Tmob Elf TMob ROM...) - that should revive your device. After that you can supercid it from working WM6 environment.
well i dont know the provider CID , and i tried to download the Original WWE ROM but it keep saying ID Vnder , i think i have changed the IPL and SPL how can i know the original IPL and SPL for normal HTC toch (elf)

Where did you buy the phone? Orange? T Mobile? Directly HTC Branded?
That should give you a hint which ROM is of matching CID for the device. E.g. official HTC ROM will not work on my Orange branded Hermes - I need Orange ROM to upgrade.
If you changed the spl your device would probably be dead - you should not even be able to see the bootloader screen. Moreover there is no bootloader with your version number for Hermes. If the bootloader identifies device correctly (does it say something like Elf?). then you should be running original Elf bootloader.
well i bought it from soudi arabi a dont know what kind of provider
im think about write CID code to make it superCID so i can download a ROM with original WWE
What does your bootloader screen say? If you had a Hermes ROM flashed in - it should say:
HERM100
IPL-
HERM100
SPL-
Connection type (Serial or USB)

I know...
But to use Pof's unlocker you need to run sspl and that thing needs AS which needs functional WM in turn...
You should be able to flash CID matching ROM - ideal case would be the ROM device came with. Are there any clueas on the device - ie is it branded somehow?
i know SSPL i do it its will force the device to accept the ROM no mattar what thats why i messd up my device

Try to look for saudi arabia shipped ROMs for Elf on the forum - that gives you better chances than tweaking the bootloader.

That is question for Elf owners/users. I can only tell you that SPL/IPL numbers you provided are not for Hermes - you can check it here and here.
As you can see the highest SPL version numbers for Hermes are 1.11 and then it jumps directly to 2.something, highest IPL version for Hermes is 1.04.
You can ask ELf users what Elf IPL/SPl number should be.
What is written above SPL number in your device?
ok thank you very much
the problem is the nearest HTC center is 1700 Km away otherwise i could make them fix it

I still think that you have a proper origianl Elf bootloader on your device. It is a pity you did not back your ROM up before flash. You can try to find some saudi arab members of this forum, they can tell you which operators are in the country so looking for your ROM may be simpler. Otherwise I can only suggest you to try all official Elf ROMs you can find until there will be a match. You can be sure that your device does not have CID of ROM you tried to flash.

Elf wiki does not have shipped ROMs part filled. Here is the link.
Ok lets try to look for your original ROM:
What was the ROM language - english, arabic...
Was the arabic enabled - i.e. could you write in arabic without added software?
Is there any brand name on your Elf (on the surface of the phone - I have Orange logo there so maybe you have some lead too)
i know im stubet to do that :|
yah thats right how can i make becouse i found WWE original
and shipped chiness one

goldcard is for make ur device back to the OSPL 1.7 or 1.9 .....
i was looking for changing my device ModelID (from PC401** to PC401000) so i can use the HSPL software
i got a thought about to try changing the HSPL software ModelID check (From PC401000 to PC401**) to mach my device modelID
i searched on web if anyone tried that before or not and i found it on DFT asians forum. one of them tried it on mozart and its worked for him so i tried on trophy too, and its worked for me too
its that simple
