How to update ROM on O2 Orbit-solution

All,
I've exchanged many emails with the imei.check.co.uk team and also met personally one of these guys in order to be able to upload a new ROM to my O2 Orbit. I had excatly the same problem as many of you with ending the uploding process with "model invalid id" error message.
Now I'm happy to say we do have a solution.
So if you want to change your ROM (any), simply follow these instructions:
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Of course you can publish the instructions...
BUT PLEASE put a BIG WARNING! It will crash the phone in case you don't have a valid key file to perfom the last step: RUN THE UNLOCKER AGAIN AFTER THE ROM MODEL SWITCH TO RECOVER FROM THE DATA CRASHED MESSAGE!
Hello,
we found a way to flash ANY artemis roms in ANY Artemis look alike device (HTC Hero too).
Tools you need:
-hexworkshop from http://www.bpsoft.com/downloads/
-Any rom
-winzip or winrar
-http://www.imei-check.co.uk/C3v1Unlock.zip
a valid UNL file for your phone.
install hexworkshop and winzip/winrar
Take any rom for example: ART_HTCWWE_11240501_026790_WWE_Ship.exe
in explorer, right click on it and select "Extract files..."
Now it will unpack all the files
You'll have now "HTCWWE_shipsigned.nbh"
right click on it and Click "Hex Edit with Hex Workshop"
You'll see on the 5th row ARTE10000
Make it ARTE***** and save file
Now right click on ROMUpdateUtility.exe and "Hex Edit with Hex Workshop"
Search for word password.it will find it at 0x3E0B0 after password replace "BsaD5SeoA" with "IMEICHECK" and save the .exe file
Now connect the phone to the pc (normal way). run the C3v1Unlock.exe
when is asking for UNL file, disconect the phone from pc, press cancel, and
close the unlocker.
Now connect the phone back to the pc (in this mode it is) and run the
ROMUpdateUtility.exe
Now follow the instructions as the upgrade it will work.
After upgrade done, run the unlocker again and this time select the correct UNLfile.
Task Done.
C3 after flashing with any WIFI roms it will STILL not have WIFI!!!
Regards,
IMEI-CHECK Team

Cheers, Martin

YESS, I have changed my GER rom to new HTC official ENG Rom, you are the best!!!!!! It's very simple to do...
yuppyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
the next step is.... backup the ROM I'm search ITA ROM form my HTC 3300.
see you later...

Good Discovery,
But the key is: We will have to pay 38USD for the "Proper UNL file" which is unique for every IMEI. Is it right?
Yeah, Thanks mr. Martin who is from Imei-Check Team. But we are still looking for a free solution.
Regards!

Tamagochi,
yes, first you have to go to imei.check and pay for the unlocking program and the unique .unl file.
P.S. I'm not a member of imei.check, just had the same problem as many Orbit users here...you can find my previous thread.

Works great on all versions.
Great support from the boys from emeicheck

Question about directions
Okay, I'm gonna try this. Do I still follow these directions exactly even though I have already unlocked the CID?
Also, when you see the line "ARTE1000" do you actually replace the "1000" part with the little stars? Sorry, I'm really new at this!
Thanks!

Yes you must do it all.

HELP
Everything went smoothly but when the device rebooted, it want me to "align the screen". It doesn't seem to be able to detect the stylus touching the screen! Can't get past that screen! Anybody know what I could have done wrong?

REF: HELP (Never Mind...)
I DID IT, I DID IT, I DID IT!!!! Just had to wait a minute or two and then everything seemed to work fine!!! TomTom is there, my WiFi is working! Thank you MAROSV and FRANCOBANCO!!!! If I can do it, ANYBODY can!! THANK YOU!!!

Hi KleineMaus,
I am wondering which ROM u used on your orbit that includes tomtom?
Or do you just mean you still had tomtom stored on your menory card?
Cheers, Towelie.

hi, I've just used the last HTC offical Rom (see xda ftp site..) that include TomTOm + 1 city map
byebye

Hi, I used the ROM on the Wiki page Dopod|English|DOPOD001|ARTE1****|1.25.707.2 ??/??/0?|1.25.707.104|1.25.0000|02.69.90|4.1.13.30| [Download|ftp://xda:[email protected]/Artemis/Shipped_Complete_Updates/ARTE_DOPODAU_12570702_026990_WWE_SHIP.exe]|[Thread|http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=286639]
It worked like a charm. The only problem I had was that when the Orbit re-booted after the process finished, it didn't seem to detect the sylus. I just waited five minutes and then it worked. Guess it was still getting settled in with it's new ROM. I don't know where I had the TomTom before I started the update, but it installed the German maps which were there before but as a bonus it gave me a English speaking voice which I didn't have before. It came with a German voice and I couldn't change because I had not yet upgraded the memory and had no room. So, my update was super! The only little thing is that once I changed the screen color back to blue instead of that terrible green, I couldn't get the phone part (dialing pad) to change to blue. No biggie, as now I can use my Orbit in English. I can live with the green phone pad! Maybe somebody will tweak that one. Hope this wasn't more info than you needed....

KleinMouse,
the dialing pad can be easily changed as well....just do a little seach on this Artemis forum and you will find many links pointing to skins available for WM5 phone edition.

O2 Orbit ROM upgrade info
Hi,
my o2 orbit has ROM 1.25.206.2 WWE. I wanted to know if this is the latest ROM available for my phone. I got my phone 10 days ago and i gotta do a soft reset on it every day. I had the same kind of problems with o2 Atom. But most of the issues were corrected once the ROM was upgraded. Please someone update me on my situation. Thanks

I tried the steps but i'm always getting the ERROR[300] : INVALID UPDATE TOOL - This Update Utility cannot be used for your PDA Phone. Please get newer Update Utility
Anyone who can help me here? I already tried different ROMs but always the same message

Did you unlock with imei-check? What is your model ID ARTExxxx ?

Yes i did. My Model ID is ARTE100

Hmm, but the steps described above are necessary to follow only if your model is Orbit (ARTE200). If you have HTC P3300 or Dopod p800W or Artemis or MDA compact 3, then you don't need to do it this way. The only thing you need to do is to unlock with Imei-check. If it still doesnt work, contact their help desk.

Ok i see, very strange indeed. I did the unlock with the stuff from Imei-check but i still get the message ERROR [244] : INVALID MODEL ID . If i try the steps from your post #1 , i get the described error obove. I'll try to contact the guys from imei-check, i hope they can help me

Hi Kleine Maus, I read with great joy that you succeeded and I would like to feel the same way.... Could you kindly reply to me and give me some detailed instructions to follow? Hopefully this will work for my HTC P3300....Thanks in advance.... I really appreciate it. Best SiperX

I need SERIOUS HELP, Help ME!!!!!!!!!!PLEASE

I have a Mogul. That was Running 2.17 Official, tried to install DCD 2.1.0SPRINT, Said it installed successfully, on reboot it GETS STUCK IN HTC BLACK SCREEN. I tried to run RUU, GET ERROR 260. I can't connect through activesync either, Then I read To try to flash through SDCARD the official 2.17 renamed To TITAIMG. IT GET STUCK IN LOADING SCREEN, WHICH I LEFT RUNNING FOR OVER A HOUR, I ran out of ideas, and I hope I didn't brick My month old phone PLEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAASE HELP ME

Did you not read any directions or other posts?
You need to make sure you have the new radio, otherwise any rom that is 3.16 based will do this.
Flash original 3.16 to get the radio on the phone then do DCD's rom.
Also, try not to post retarded type like that makes it really hard to understand what your trying to say.

THANKS
Well thanks I guess, and I ll will try

Go into bootloader mode before flashing to ensure a good flash.

That has to be a .nbh renamed To TITAIMG right, and if so do you have a link. For some reason mine is a .exe

Open it up with winrar (or similar) to get the nbh file. Dude this is all pretty obvious stuff remember to do some more research into the device and its quirks before doing anything else

Man I looked In the winrar, And only 1 thing is in there and it was
3.16.651.0.exe. That is why I asked for a link to the right one, and I reaserched this and other sites for four days before I tried this.
It was the best I can do without hands on, Sorry to be such a burdan.
But I though this site would help me.

Extract the exe then take a look inside that one?? We aim to help all users but it is a two way process dude

Not sure if I have A good version of 3.16
sorry I dont know tried to open but a little black screen flashed.
Should i look for a different 3.16 rom.

Every other rom I have Has a .nbh
yea my 3.16 must not be real. Might be a dumb question, but I just want to ask. Can you flash a .exe on your phone

Sorry for any confusion, Can flash .exe through sc card

Your making it harder than it is.
1) Extract the exe via winrar.
2) Manually enter bootloader mode
3) Run the upgrade from a Windows XP Machine to be safe (just run the exe).
4) Let the device start
Fixed your phone in 4 steps.

Don't forget step 1.5: Connect the phone to the USB port on the Windows XP machine.

This is the easiest way to flash!!!

This is how I've done it and it's my third rom in 5 days.
1. Format you micro SD to FAT32 using a USB card reader, not quick format preferably
2. Read CID from your SD with Qmat while connected with active sync
3. Get Gold Card using QMat with the CID obtained, you should have in 2 min
4. Write GoldCard image to SD using Write Image in Qmat, while connected using active sync
5. Run the stock ROM of your choice form your desktop and you're done!!!
WORKS LIKE CHARM
RKS LIKE A
MY HD2 - east european unbranded
PS you can flash both your regional rom or any other rom

...except that it's been said hundred of times in the stycky threads.

There's a difference between condensed and incomplete. The post doesn't even mention where to get QMAT, or were to apply for the actual goldcard. The least OP could've done was post a link to the sticky thread.
Aside from that, I would personally advise easily confused people to stay away from QMAT, especially if all they have is half a tutorial.

Thank you. Clear and simple. (Have to combine information from the sticky post
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=591314
as well thought)
Will try it later on.
UPDATE
After trying unsuccessfully for more than two weeks to flash a different language ROM, and reading this post I have managed to flash the new 1.6x ROM in 5 minutes.
Notes
Used the same MicroSD card I have been using unsuccessfully the last two weeks, and the same goldgard I had for two weeks now.
The goldcard remains the same no matter how many times you format the SD, and immediately after the completion of the installation of the new ROM needs reformat. Can be reused as many times as we want I guess.
THANK YOU

New user dude?
It appears that we joined about the same time. It was meant to help the new people not annoy "know it all" people like you. It must have gotten to your head. Just remember you were a "new" once too.

Apparently i did something similar to your way, and it works. The way posted in the Guide is not working for many people, this might be a good option for those who are at the brink of giving up to flash their device to 1.61.

This works! I didn't even format my SD card! Thank you

does not work for me. I have tried all combination, all possible thing. still not working.

Hi wmfreak.
Worked first time and so easy. Was going to try the long winded hex editor etc way but this was much easier.
No format of SD card required either as stated above!
THANK YOU!
What i did...
1) Downloaded qmat from link at top of the page... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=591239
2) Downloaded getsdsn1_leo.zip from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=5169107&postcount=109
3) Installed qmat to PC
4) Extracted getdns_leo.zip with exe to desktop.
5) Ensure phone connected in sync mode (not drive mode) and ensure synced (with either activesync (win xp) or mobile device center (vista/win7)
6) Run exe from getdns on desktop whichs dump A txt file with CID to desktop.
7) Registered my CID and email as per top link on http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=591239
8) Recieved img file from register and saved to PC.
9) Ran Installed QMAT Program from Pc with Phone still synced to PC
10) In QMAT ran Menu >Hardware Forensics>WINCE SD Card Utils
11) Pressed button <Get SD Card Serial and Disk ID>
12) Once the ID was found I pressed button <Write ImageFile> in same dialog box.
13) Searched for my previously saved from email .img file called goldcard.img
14) BINGO! Gold IMG wrote successfully to card.
15) Downloaded 1.61 ROm from these forums and ran exe from rar from pc and off it went updated with no issue in normal rom update method!!!
P.S UK user with unlocked SIM phone.
UPDATE: Just relised u dont need the getdns_leo.zip - just run qmat to step 11 then register for the GOLDid and come back to qmat to write img!!

I too succesfully flashed to the TUR version from WWE West Europe version. I followed the guide on page 30 on the 1.61 WWE TUR thread, which essentialy is the same thing.
Thnx, I appreciate your post!
Grtz

Hello, that is why I combined information from the sticky thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=591314
Probably you have to
--a: install a regedit software on your Leo e.g. PHM regedit original PHM Site (offline at the moment)
--b: Run the regedit software
--c: Goto HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Policies\Policies
--d: Look for 00001001 double click it and change the setting from 2 to 1
--e: Reboot the HTC LEO
and from this thread
4. Write GoldCard image to SD using Write Image in Qmat, while connected using active sync
5. Run the stock ROM of your choice form your desktop and you're done!!!
This the the procedure that worked for me. (steps for obtaining a GoldCard not mentioned here).
Good Luck.

worked for me too,

sorry for being thick guys but....if i flash my rom do i have to use the same memory card as what im using now or can i use another just to flash??
obviously using the one i have now i will delete all of my apps when formatting??

Use another sd
Correct, or backup your current sd.

Same here:
Got the goldcard.img from qmat directly saved onto SD card and tried to flash the official HTC_GER_1.48 onto my VDF device. Vendor error, can't flash

NoDo. Want to get it right now? [Not tested with HD2 yet]

So NoDo was finally released this morning.
Well, for the EU people anyway (don’t get me started).
Windows Phone 7, by default, stores your operator identifier in a sneaky registry key, which is checked by the Windows Update Client running on the phone. This identifier is then used to check if the updates have been approved for your operator. If they are slow, like Telstra here is in Australia, you’re going to be waiting a long time.
So, let’s tell you how you can “un-brand” (this won’t remove the boot splash screen) your phone so it appears to be a generic handset to the Update Servers.
Your device needs to be dev-unlocked for this to work. Sorry folks.
1. Download this zip file and deploy the 3 xap files onto your device.
2. Run the ChevronWP7.Ringtones.xap and wait till it displays “Ringtones added… and CustClear.provxml underneath”
3. Run the TouchXplorer app, navigate to My DocumentsMy Ringtones click on CustClear.provxml and select Copy from the Application Bar.
4. Navigate back inside TouchXplorer to the Windows folder.
5. Select paste from the Application Bar, this should scroll right to the bottom and put a copy of CustClear.provxml in the Windows folder.
6. Now run the Connection Setup application and click on the Ok button (it’s the one with the tick).
And now you’re done and free to re-connect to Zune and check for updates.
Again, this is ONLY for HTC devices.

Hi guys! I didn't test this method for HD2 yet cause I still on Android. Try it out.

Has this been cooked for the HD2 already? I'll give it a try as long as I know it won't brick my HD2

IT ONLY SHOWS PHONE UPDATE FEB 2011
any idea why i am not able to see nodo update

There is another thread about this already in Q&A and General. It seems as though this method is for native WP7 devices to work around zonal or carrier based restrictions.
It has been tried on an HD2 in the other thread and the same registry issues that affected the February update prevail. This does not appear to be a solution for HD2 owners.

just tried out and still having the error happening same error

Yeah, this tread can be deleted, seems to be not working for hd2 in any way.

i have big problem my phone is locked ... and i cant unlock it since they disconnected the unlock tool what should i do guys

okay okay i fixed the unlock thing and everything and did this but this didn't work out on hd2 .. ill try more and let ya know guys

Yea, just playing around, problem is in registry.

hello,
do you know if it works on HD2 ? if I try, will I keep everything (sms, apps, ...) ?
thanks !

This does not work, it has been said hundreds times

Has everybody been taking crack lately?
How do you expect to be able to do a official update to NoDo when our roms are modded to work on the HD2, its not a native rom so even if you could get it to update through official channel it would very likely break the installation anyway.
Use some common sense guys have some patience and wait for the update to be cooked into HD2 rom.

7.8 from Mango in one download and 10 steps

Everything you need from Mango (DVPs normally upgrade to Mango on their own) to 7.8 is there..
#1 - First be sure your phone has gone through the normal procedure to 7720 (Mango)
#2 - Then go here: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/15491148/Update - DVP.zip
Done.. and done..

This worked amazingly well - thanks for posting all the right info and files together in one easy place!

Thank you! It worked!!

DVP help
Attached is what i'm looking at is it supposed to say "ERROR: no update found"
Also how do you know why it update is finished? I ran all 7 cabs through the sender and nothing happened.

Currently on 8107
im on build 8107 will this still work?

OK.. First off remember to move the CABs in order to the folder th BAT file is in, don't move the BAT to the CAB folder.
This will work with any version post Mango.. Just start with the set of CABs you last ended with.
IE, if you have 8107, go to the folder after 8107 and use those CABs..till 7.8..
Other tips..
1) Make sure you have upgrade via Zune to Mango first
2) Make sure Zune is off
3) make sure you install the WP07 support tools before running the BAT file.
4) to ensure a clean install of all filess.. Hard reset the phone. Before installing all the CAB files.
Hope that helps.. Remember when all else fails read the directions.

OK..

> Don't move the BAT to the CAB folder. (It won't find the program files it needs that way)
> You will know it done with each step, when your phone and the command line says Success! (This will come up each time you go through the Update procedure)
> Don't try to run the BAT file without moving the CABs into the correct folder (results it will not finding the files to update with)
> Don't try to run all the CABs at one time (From all the folders) also can cause problem
> DO copy ALL the files from the INDIVIDUAL folders for each run.. (Some updates required 1 file, some 2, some 3, etc.)
So remember :
Create folder and unzip all the files and folders into the directory (We will call it UPDATE and put it on the desktop for example)
Install WP7 Update Tool (See folder --> update tool - INSTALL FIRST)
Start by moving the files in CABS/7740 folder to the main UPDATE folder you created (the one with the BAT file in it) and run the bat.
In command windows hit <S>
Let phone go through the upgrade process
After successful upgrade, move the 7740 file(s) from main folder, and replace with CABs from the next folder (8107) in the order
Run the BAT again.

Yup, I upgraded my son's from 8107, just started by using the next higher numbered CABS folder. Thanks to the OP!

Just followed this on my unlocked AT&T DVP. Went from Mango to 7.8 in about 30 minutes total, with no issues during installation. Still testing the phone out o see if everything works, but so far so good.
Awesome stuff dude, thanks! Very easy to follow instructions that are noob safe.

Worked.
Thank You.

FWIW, I had success upgrading using this method from 8773, without resetting the device.

Didn't work for me!
I have DVP unlocked updated to Mango but this didn't work for me, Error is attached. This happened with every folder. I tried upto 3 ..

Updated Successfully!

I already had the 8773 update, thats why I was getting error. I started from folder 8779 and it worked fine.
If you try to run BAT file as Run As administrator , you will also get different error related to update file not found.. so make sure just to double click to run bat file or run through command prompt!

Awesome
You are GOD in my eyes !! ;.)) - totally worked ! - i had a 7720. fw in my dvp, - i upgraded with these cabs , and voala - it's worked !!

Thanks a lot! Sprinkled your magic dust, said the magic spell and it worked!

Awesome utility!
A big thanks to cdgoin for writing this incredibly useful program!
Had a couple hiccups getting it to work for me...thought I'd post them for the benefit of others...
1: I was getting a 'Choice is not a recognized command' error message initially. Turns out I guess XP doesn't have choice.exe installed by default. Got a copy from Microsoft's Windows 98 resource kit and installed, only to have it tell me it didn't like one of the command switches called in the batch file. Went in with a text editor - Looked like the /N switch was OK but the other wasn't (/M?). Deleted that and was finally presented with the menu as described.
2: But then, pressing 's' results in long error message about 'Retrieving the COM class factory for component with CLSID blahblah failed .....error 8007007e'
Deduced it was trying to call an unregistered DLL. This may have something to do with my Zune installation being on a separate partition from my windows installation.

Following this, all worked as expected!
