English ROM for Artemis

Hello dear all,
Just bought a P3300 today. (I am a noob at these things) After talking to the salesperson, he ensured that I will be able to change the language to English, I bought it. I plugged in the charger and found out that the device is in French.
After downloading all upgrades possible from this site. I still can not change the ROM. Invalid Vendor ID. Some people say that I need to upgrade the bootloader.
Not sure if this can be done on the artemis, or perhaps there just isnt anyone who has done it yet. At least I cant find the information.
Tomorrow I have to go back to the store and fight about returning this unit.
My advise is, buy this device in the correct language from the beginning.
If someone knows how to change the ROM when this happens before tomorrow, I would appriciate it dearly.
Regards,
Johan

well, by flashing your device from French to English ROM (WWE) you will immediatelly invalidate your warranty. carefull now!
Just my 2cents...

I dont really care about the warranty.. All I wanted was my phone in English. I will be able to get a new phone, with the contract that I have got with my supplier. But you know how it is, you get a new toy, you want to play with it.

Why not have it exchanged with an English version?

I have same situation. How you find solution?

gee, here we go once again:
in order to be able to change the language on your device you MUST reflash with an english rom from a compatible device.
This though is only possible once your device is CID unlocked; a special security section in your device.
Only known way to do this is via http://www.imei-check.co.uk/c3unlock.php
and costs (apx. EUR 28.00 / USD 38.00).
After this unlocking you can flash the tmouk and dopod rom (all wwe) from the wiki. ( at least on all artemis and all hero)
If you do not cid unlock, you will get "wrong modelID"

good work,now we need only UNL code ....

The UNL File is unique for every IMEI and flashes only the Device that has this IMEI. The Unlocker for the Hermes was very well done, because some smart people reversed the process from imei-check.co.uk and wrote a working program, but so far i think noone is making real adavances in this matter, so if you desperately need your device CID Unlocked, only way for you is pay imei-check :/

for now.........

This is my first post so I hope the wolves will stay back. My post is for those of you who are new as I am. I bought the O2 Xda Orbit for Christmas and since it was my first PDA-, smart phone-, device, I did not realize that the language could not be changed until I got it home. After many calls to O2 both here in Germany and the UK, I tried my luck with HTC. HTC ofcourse, will not touch the phone since it is branded with the O2 logo. There are NO Orbits in Germany from O2 in the English language version. In desperation, I called Microsoft customer service and again met with a dead end although I was inpressed with the customer service person who desperately tried to help me. It was Microsoft that directed me to this site. I will try not to bore everyone with all the details, but here is what I found out.
You can not do ANYTHING with the phone until the "super lock" (aka CID lock) is "unlocked". I tried one of those cheap places that charge 7 pounds, and the numbers and methods they gave me do not work. (You get what you pay for.)
My advise to anyone who may be new to this and wants to proceed anyway, is to keep your nose to this forum. There is a website posted in this thread that recommends http://www.imei-check.co.uk/c3unlock.php. I plan on trying this site to unlock my phone and then the next step will be to wait for someone to develop a RUU for the Orbit or HTC 3300. This phone is new on the market and all the hacks and updates are just not there yet.
If the day comes that I feel brave, I plan on using the RUU named ARTE_DOPODAU_12570702_026990_WWE_SHIP also found on this site. I hooked it up to my Orbit and ran the program, but because the CID is not unlocked, I got the dreaded "INVALID MODEL ID" message.
In reading all the posts and following the threads, I know more about my phone than I ever thought was possible. The more you learn, the more you can weigh the risks versus the benefits, or what your chances are of success. This is now a hobby for me. I love reading about everyone else's "adventures" and I think there are valuable lessons to be learned in the trials of those who bravely go before us.
The only other option is for us all to pitch in and buy the phone for $599 from http://www.alibaba.com/catalog/11719610/Xda_Orbit_Brand_New_PDA.html. I think they are $399 if you buy 10. This is a great deal for those who's home country uses the Euro. This may be the source of all those "CID-unlocked" phones on Ebay! You have to ask yourself, where are these people getting these brand new phones, CID unlocked and in ENGLISH!
Should I crash my device, I am prepared to go to the HTC website and shell out the money for a device in English with TomTom and all the bells and whistles installed. It will be CID unlocked and I will have HTC behind me for customer service and be free to use my device to it's full potential. I will try to keep the newbies posted on my progress, but in the mean time, I will read the forum religiously everyday and learn as much as I can. Somebody out there has the ROM for my Orbit, and I know it's only a matter of time.....

Welcome to the forum KleineMaus. I honestly would like to congratulate you for not being one of those newcomers who don't introduce themselves and just post a question that has been asked a million times without first reading forum rules and searching, and expect an immediate answer.
Anyway, have fun here and hopefully we can all be of help.

Reply dd Feb 3rd, 2007
Hi Kleine Maus,Did you manage to find any solution so far? I have bought a new HTC P3300 (I guess the same device gets called in 5 or 6 different ways) and with the Dutch OS I cannot do much with it! If anyone out there has any solution to bring this nice toy to communicate in good old English I would be very grateful indeed. Ciao, Siper

cliq bootloader

don't know if this will help any of u devs that are trying to root this thing. hope it helps cuz we need root asap.

There are various people working on it in different forums outside of xda. There is supposedly leaked source code out in the wild and there is a person working on some kind of non-HTC gold card type of exploit. Google "Root Motorola Cliq" and you'll see the various threads around covering this. Unfortunately there is no dedicated site yet like the Droid has to pool information to form a collective brain trust for this project . Hopefully there will be something for Cliq owners with in the next couple of weeks. Maybe sooner if that source code pans out. (crossing fingers)

factory restore image (dreamimg.nbh) equivilent?
I read a post from a guy (here I think) that stated he had a "factrory image" of some sort, the extension was nothing I had seen before, but it sounds to be the same type of file that HTC has, that when booted to recovery the phone will apply the image automaticly, which is how the dream gets downgraded.
I would think that if source is available and the image is too the only thing I could see stopping root would be a keyset other than the "real" one.
just like the g1 they may have a "dev keyset" that we can use on our fones and to sign updates which also blocks the "normal" updates out.
I have been searching daily for any info on rooting the morrison/cliq/dext, and haven't found much other than a couple forum posts and tweets. There are a few cliq fourms but none seem to have anything but "is root available", "when will it be rooted", "how do I gturn the phone on" type posts.

If he said he was taking donations for one, I'd help out . T-Mo has them at 50$ off right now too. But if he had a button in his sig that said "Cliq Donations" i'd log into PayPal right now =). The more advanced dev's that have them, the better.

same here. someone should let cy know he gots 2 willing. i got 20 on it. i dont even have a cliq and probably wont get one but if he wants one i am willing to help. he is way way to important to my daily use for me to not give what i can.

+1
Id be willing to donate to Cyanogen. The real question however, is whether or not he'd be interested. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe parts of blur are not open source.... if that's the case, then cyanogen may not be interested.
In any such case, this phone would be awesome with some optimized firmware on it. Heck, id go for a straight port of CM 4.2.5.

willing to donate
Hi all,
I'm not interested in rooting itself but in to use my mobile as a modem and be able to enjoy a lot of unnofficial updates, the same way I did with my old HTC Polaris...
I'm not a developer, but I'm willing to donate and support testing and getting logs...
I already bookmarked this thread to follow it up.
REgards,
JM
Forgot to clarify... I still have my Polaris, but I'm about to get my Moto Cliq this weekend or early next monday, but I have already played with the one my wife got last week...

I will buy Cyanogen a CLIQ if anyone can reach him and verify that he's interested.

Calling all HTC unlocking SUPERHEROS!!

I have been using the xda developers website for YEARS ( from after getting my first T-Mobile SDA ) and theres always been at least ONE superhero to develop a cool method or utility to unlock these phones...
...WELL! the HD2 is here and now I need a another champion to step forward and crack this thing because I own a T-mobile HD2 purchased off ebay and I cant unlock this thing no matter how hard I try. Every website I have used has FAILED and I cannot believe that these websites know something about this phone that the XDA developer gurus do not.
This website has NEVER let me down before....and I know that unlockers dont appear overnight, but it would just be reassuring to know at least one of these people is on the case.
If you are reading this and thinking "why dont you do it?" alas, I lack the sheer awesomeness necessary to develop such things.

I am reading this thinking "cant you read and/or use the search functionality?"

??
okay, was that sarcasm or what? I have not seen any such unlocker mentioned in this forum or any other.
Please provide link to thread if you know of one.
Begging for such things is not a favourite pastime of mine so if you know, please show.

If there was a better tool to do it WITHOUT generating any codes, then people wouldn't have been discussing those sites in that topic, would they be?
You'll have to keep trying with unlock websites. You'll need that code.

This...
I read something positive about http://www.htcgate.com/. Perhaps that one helps/works.

What are you trying to do exactly?
Network-unlock the phone so you can use any provider with it?
Unlock the device so that you can use any ROM from any country on it?
Maybe if you were a bit clearer with your request you would have got a better answer from me. Just because you know what you are on about when you are typing a post doesn't mean anyone else does!

Okay, perhaps I wasnt clear. What I was after was a sim unlocking method/utility to aid myself and others in similar circumstances of having purchased a locked HD2 only to be suffering a nightmare unlocking it.
I started this thread in really light-hearted fashion and now it doesnt appear to be going that way. Anyways my personal nightmare has ended as I emailed the hell out of the guy that sold this to me and he emailed me the unlock code so job done.
I still think its worthwhile for someone to develop a method/tool for the job and wish any others suffering this hell the best of luck.
BTW: if your locked HD2 is one from T-Mobile save your money and avoid the following sites:
"unlock codes 2u" FAIL
"HTCGate" FAIL
"leo.unlock-now" FAIL
"Unlock now" FAIL
"Unlock-it-now" FAIL

I have the same problem with hd2 locked on o2, no one is able to remove simlock. At least o2 itself provides unlock codes if you ask them, but I'm still waiting for the code....

[Q] USCC S4 on pageplus, need to flash back to us cellular

hello all, this is my first time here, although i am not a noobie to flashing phones, i need help finding information to get my phone flashed back to USCC using DFS cdma tool. It's easier just to start from the beginning. i bought a uscc s4 off ebay, and paid to have it flashed to page plus, it worked well for a while and then just died service wise after a couple months and page plus offered me nothing but problems so i cancelled my service with them and need to get back to uscc so i can just have everything back to normal. right now i am on the stock rom, version 4.4.2 ... to be honest, all i really am posting for is the information i need to use in DFS, i didint screenshot anything during the remote flash and i do not have any of the information i need in order to write to the phone and have it connect to uscc towers again. im not certain if im just stupid, and its something so obvious that noone posts about it anywhere, or if its something so complicated that noone has the information. either way, i really need my phone back, and even if this is so stupid to read that youre shaking your head please at least just respond and tell me about my stupidity and just give the answer, this is driving me nuts, i already put the original esn back however i dont know any of the other info for uscc. please help and thank you all for taking the time to help.

Sir,
Please wait until mods will move this thread to the device specific forum for more relevant answers.

Good luck

AT&T/LG to release KDZ & TOT

Hi all,
I'm contacting AT&T and LG Mobile to force them to release the KDZ and TOT for our LG G5.
I had thought about starting a petition for it, what do you guys think about it?
Anyone had luck with getting some answeres that might end up with AT&T releasing these files?
BTW, I used to own a Motorola Milestone in the past, and some forum member succeeded on cracking Motorola's bootloader, maybe he will help us here as well (I had PM him about this topic, let's hope he will give it a shot).
Thanks,
Mor

16.4.17 - petition link had been added : https://www.change.org/p/lg-electro...utm_source=share_petition&utm_medium=copylink
Please, help us spread the word, it's a petition for all LG G5 devices, not only AT&T's one.
Meanwhile, I'm trying my luck reaching out for more assistance within AT&T and LG focal points.

I will sign the petition if you make one

I contacted them about this and they said that LG has the firmware, the I contacted lg and they said ATT has it, so i don'tknow

Kinda good news.
Yesterday I spoke with "oneclickroot" support team and tried figuring out if they will try to assist with rooting our LG G5.
The dev support APPROVED that they are working on it and it will take some time (crappy AT&T and Nougat's security).
About the petition, before I'm opening one, anyone else got some other ideas?
Thanks,
Mor

Yes, kidnap senior AT&T exec and hold them for ransom. I'll bet we'd have root within 24 hours.

Ha ha, seems like a plan.
But, I'll pass this offer and try other ideas

Well, I had draft the initial petition design.
I need your help dear community to sharpen it.
---
Last year, the LG G5 was released to the market.
Tons of new features, top notch SOC and the first flagship that offered HW modification.
All the community of developers and end users was happy and excited to create ROMs, kernels etc.
But, unfortunately, LG with cooperation with the massive Carriers agreed to lock the bootloader​.*
A year later, only two variets received the unlocked bootloader and all the rest left behind with a dying LG G5 community.
Our demend is that LG will unlock the bootloader and provide a TOT tool. Let us be free of the locked garden chain!
---
Let me know what do you think about it.

*UPDATE!*
Petition had been published - please spread the word.
there are a lot of LG G5 users, let's try to make a change - together we can make it.

We might can get a bootloader unlock.. But we WONT get a TOT/KDZ directly from LG or AT&T. Remember all those files are only meant INTERNAL use only. LG doesn't publicly post these files.

this phone is dead while another variants are celebrating their freedom

My big mistake I bought an at&t variant. I was thinking its a USA based model and will be better than others. I was totally wrong. Never ever buy a phone on at&t contract. Worse choice ever I selected.

I am too thinking that It's a big mistake I bought an at&t variant.
Why AT&T not releasing Stock Roms etc. Whyy
