Rom upgrade step by step instruction please

I haven't done this before so I want to make it right for the first time.
My friends XDAIIi can not make calls (flight mode on all the time and can not be turned off) after WM6 rom upgrade (which I think was for Himalaya only) by some cell phone shop.
Now how do I upgrade the rom to a working one or at least put back the original rom?
What file/s do I need to download? I don't have a cradle just a USB for connecting to ActiveSync which I think serves the same thing as the cradle. Do I need to reflash it first? How do I do that? What files do I need?
Thanks in advance.

Help!
Anyone?

Okay after about an hour or so searching I found this rom -> http://www.maxishare.net/en/file/37...-1-04-bluetooth-patched-camera-fixed-rar.html but after completing the first stage (I guess because for a moment there a quick glimpse of Stage 2 dialog box) I will get this error
Error 113: Extended ROM Update Error
And I repeated the process aboput 10 times with no luck.
Anyone care to point me to another rom that I can try?

right i usualy flame ppl for this, but as it was not you or your m8s fault:
1- got here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=306600 and download the firmware
2 - make sure the phone is Fully charged
3 - put the phone in its cradle on a PC that running xp home or pro ONLY it will not work on vista. helps if you have activesync (u can get it from M$) then follow the instructions with the firmware. the program u want is called maupgrade.
4 - it will almost definatly fail the first time you run the updater (if its inactive for more than 15 mins, nothing changing on the updater screen as it should say its updating somink or other), DO NOT PANIC!! close the updater and run it again it will say no firmware found or anything it will work perfectly this time.. total time for update is 30~ mins.
BANG u have a working phone again hopfully!

"1- got here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=306600 and download the firmware" -> This has exactly the same firmware/file/rom as this right -> http://www.maxishare.net/en/file/37...-1-04-bluetooth-patched-camera-fixed-rar.html right?
Anyways I am still downloading it tho it has the same file name I downloaded 3 days ago. Just like what I've said I already tried it (maupgrade) and followed the instructions and I think I only finished the first stage then it gave me the Error 113: Extended Rom update error
How bout an original ROM? Maybe somebody can give me the link because most of the links I found for original rom's are dead already.
Thanks.

Yes I am using XP. Anyones know where I can find original rom? Maybe I can try that.

BTW, just for the sake of seeing the whole process of rom flashing, I did upgrade my Himalaya (XDAII) last week to WM6 using rom for XDAII of course and it was successful. Now I only did that to see how it works but I'm sticking to WM6 for my XDAII but I still don't know what to do with my friends XDAIIi and revert it to working rom.

Updating Xda Orbit To Wm6.1

Hi guys,
I'm a newbie to the forum and for starters I want to apologise if I'm in the wrong section!
My question:- I want to upgrade WM6 to WM6.1 with the cube effect, what I want to know is where to find the right ROM? My ROM version is 3.4.
If I'm missing anything, can someone please let me know so I can update you guys!
Thanks in advance!

hello,
i've tested a few of the new roms thats floating around on this forum and so far for me the best has been the Ooops Black rom,,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=401062
i had to unlock my CID first using the USPL program and once i'd done that i could flash the custom rom,.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=308242
there's loads of really good roms available so just test until you find the one thats good for you.
Good Luck

i've unlocked the CID and downloaded the new ROM, but when i run the exe file that us ARTEMIS CUSTOMRUU error comes "the application failed to initialize properly (0x0000135)" now what to do?? how to run the exe file???

Are you using windowsXP??
i couldn't flash it with vista but when i used my laptop that had windows XP on and ran active sync to sync the device it worked no problem..
you have to have it sync'd with active sync.
hope this helps!

sometimes i find that if i put the device in to boot loader it works
so try update, it fails, stick device in to bootloader mode an try again.

thanks you very much

the error came on my pc becuse it did'nt had .Net framework installed..
after installin it everything went smoothly...
I have flashed my orbit with Oops Black ROM, although its very fast,but it has several bugs!! are there any better ROM's floating in this forum?? and if i want to restore my original Orbit WM6.0 OS what shud i do???

what type of bugs have you noticed?
mines running perfect!
yeah there's loads of roms available in the Windows Mobile 6 section of the Artemis forum.
you should have no problem upgrading to any rom available now.

@KevandLynds
Here are some bugs which i found
-> When using mouse mode, the pointer gets disappeared after sometime.
-> When Sliding your finger upwards (like when u wanna start that touchflo3D cube) an error comes and you have to restart the phone
-> Unable to view videos in Picture and Video tool.. although u can view pictures.
-> Cannot add menu items.

some of those are touch flo problems, 6.1 by its self it very good in my opinion, dont have any issues except that if i do a soft rest whilst plugged in to and synced with a PC it wont sync afterwards, need to rest unplugged, bizzar but doesnt happen to often

Guys I'm geting a 270 error.
I've hard reset the artemis and tried it, still doesn't make a difference!
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance guys

Error (262) for diamond2 wm 6.5

Hi,
Help me please just me and that happens to me the mistakes my God.... I had the original ROM version coming with my diamond2, put the upgrading and went well until the moment he arrived at 9% and restart the pda, re-install I think is normal, however the installation continued until k stopped in 18% and after a long time gave a notice of error (262) made the recovery as recommended and continues to give error ....
I do help me please

This just happened to me too
My phone was hardspl´d
It stuck at 18%, but no error message so far. Did you unplug your phone?

Read this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=425913

I'm not sure. Have you flashed other roms before? Perhaps you have a bad download. I know the servers are overloaded from all of us geeks sucking down the WM6.5 rom... perhaps its bad.
What I normally do is put the phone in bootloader mode first by holding VolDown, while resetting the phone. This will give windows time to install the proper drivers and get situated. Once done, try flashing again.
I think 262 is a connection error. Probably driver related since you said you ran your stock rom. But check your cable. Make sure its secure and reliable. Next try another USB slot. If nothing else try a different computer... sometimes PCs just will not cooperate.

Thank you very much fighter, will try that.

I had Official 6.1 Asia WWE installed, HARDSPLed. Tried to upgrade to 6.5 on my computer and my laptop, nothing worked. Both stops at 9%, disconnects, comes back and stucks at 18% again. Had to go back to 6.1, this time it worked to bring phone to life.
My phone was bought in Taiwan.
Guess I am out of luck

I think the best way to upgrade is as follows:
1. Run the RUU_Topaz_S_HTC_WWE_2.16.405.4_Radio_Sign_Topaz_61.44tc.25.32_4.49.25.17_Ship.exe on your PC/laptop to extract and get the RUU-signed.nbh.
2. Copy the RUU-signed.nbh to topaz SD card and rename to topaimg.nbh
3. Upgrade new ROM from SD card.

I had the same 262 error as well, screen went blank for a second at 9% and finally freezez at 18% with the error message. Heres what you need to do:
Update your HardSPL to 1.83
Flash 6.5 again
????
Profit!

Hello,
already did everything you say and nothing. I liked to tell me where I can get the former Rom wm6.1 because meeting.
help me please

Little history for my friends with same problem here:

2. HARDSPL 1.33;
3. Install Asia WWE 6.1 ROM;
4. Try update Official WWE 6.5 ROM, no luck, remove battery and put back;
5. Reinstall Asia WWE 6.1 ROM, everything back to normal;
6. Update HARDSPL 1.83; Ask brother to donate
7. Install Duttys ROM or Official ROM works too

Hello,
I already installed the previous ROM with the 6.1 and everything was normal.
I tried to install again the OFFICIAL ROM 6.5 and the problem remains back to the error at 9% and 18% for the progress bar giving an error (262).
not understand some things as:
6. Update HARDSPL 1.83; Ask brother to donate
7. Install Duttys ROM or Official ROM works too
is there any solution?
can help me

Sorry:
1. install Hard-SPL 1.83.OliNex (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=520312)
2. install 6.5 ROM or Cooked Rom.
It resets 9% again in Official ROM, but reconnects and go to 100% (no stop 18% again).
Dutty ROM no stop at 9% or 18%.

problem solved

When you run the RUU, the RUU-signed.nbh will be extract temporarily to a folder in driver C:
(For me: C:\Users\Duongla\AppData\Local\Temp\pft51D9.tmp)
Just do a search and you'll find it.
And remember to HSPL to 1.83.

i have the same problem too
hello
i have a diamond 2
ihave olinex 1.83 from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=520312 and i can not install ANY wm6.5 rom!!! on the other hand EVERY 6.1 rom i have trie (5 different greek and english) work perfect?!?!??
any suggestions?
thanks

i had the same issue
i was running 6.1 (stock rom) which was hard spl'd
i had the same error kept going to 262 and haviong to be recovered
so i re hard spl'd with the latest one, and it worked fine after that,

Error 270

I think i have a clou as for the well known error number 270.
I think its either the CID is not in vendor mode ore the rom has not got the right signature.
This is what happend to me and draw your own conclusion from it, but i hope it helps a little to understand and resolve the error ( well resolve it )
I bought an t-mobile compact 3 wich whas send by mail and got bricked on the way here. So .. i searched the net for a rom and found something i liked.
using a sd card i couldnt because it said somthing like image invalid signature.
later i found a factory rom update rom at the UK t-mobile. I extracted that and putt it on a sd card. Using the bootloader manually i run the image and updated perfectly.
So i whas happy i didnt bought a brick and whas workable.
Not happy with the factory rom ( tough it work charmingly and tomtom work even better then other roms) i seeked out something more eye appealing. having a p3600 bought with manila 2d for my hunny, whas nice to see so i seeked one for the artemis.
Tried updating it and got error 270. perhaps not the correct signature ?
Maybe...
So i got back at forum and read on sticky's and found a great utility called USPL .. ( Great thanks to the creator(s)of this app ) Supposedly the app open up the CID to super mode ore open vendor mode, wich then makes it possible to insert any rom with an RUU .
(i asume you'll know it means Rom Update Utility )
The screen on the phone went black and instead of the RUU included i ran the RUU of the Manilla 2d rom and ran past the 3% so that meand it will update the rom. The screen stayed black untill it rebooted and it came alive !! ( sorry for the dramatic effect )
the rom i didnt find to be stable it crashed when i turn up the volume when using tomtom it crashed when the alarm went , and it crashed several more times. ...
More roms to try anyway and got to pdaviet 6.1 wich i didnt like but run smoothly and crashed somewhere during alarms.
So i upgraded to 6.5 .. where i went messing with the uspl app and putted the roms in the same folder including the RUU.
So at 3 precent i got the error 270 , Huh rom has invalid signature ??? neh .. the rom said singed so i downloaded the uspl again and did it my old way run uspl till it opens it RUU cancel that one and run the RUU included with the rom i wandet to upload to the phone.
i now run FlyROM 5.0 Manilla WWE with the extra english keybord rom.
and so far so good, it runs nicely tomtom again i little slower then on the factory WM5 ( both installed on device btw ) Flyrom 5.0 WWE

Here is a link to the error codes. Your error means you need to go back to SSPL before you can flash that ROM.

You are still using the original SSPL (Soft Second Program Loader) which will only accept official update ROMs.
In order to flash the custom ROMs available here, you will need to flash in a HSPL (Hard Second Program Loader).
I don't know if you are totally new to flashing ROMs or not, since you didn't say and your post indicator said that was your first post here, but I would advise you to be very, very careful. In the early days (last month, actually) a TON of people were bricking their phones because they accidentally downloaded the European ROMs for the 512Leo. Ours is the 1024Leo and only ROMs designed for our phones will work.

The phone I am using is actually a replacement from TMO. I was having issues with the original device I purchased.
How do I use a HSPL or whatever... I am slightly confused but I can catch up quickly...
Thanks.

same thing happened to me, what i did was i restarted the update without disconnecting the phone from the computer, and it worked.

I encountered the same problem and it appeared that my computer was slow in "re-recognizing" the phone. For some reason, it had to reinstall drivers before continuing with the update. After the device was again recognized, I restartde the update (without disconnecting the phone) and it continued without issue.
I had been worried that the phone had become a paperweight when I saw the tricolor screen, but everything has been fine and the upgrade appears to have worked correctly.

Think of HSPL as your BIOS (it isn't, but it may help you to think of it as such). You don't have any control over the options, but you need it to load or install your OS. Installing HSPL is simply a matter of following the directions in the link that I posted last time: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=653614
Once you have HSPL installed, you should be able to "flash" any ROM. Of course, this also allows you to flash ROMs that are not meant for your phone, so that's the danger behind it.
When you visit a thread that offers a ROM, it should either have instructions or a link to instructions on how to install. If it does not, a google search for "xda how to install a custom rom" should give you a million helpful links. (This is actually beyond the scope of this post so I won't go into details)
Hope this helped some...

Same problem but i have hspl?

just for kicks did you try a different ROM, find another ROM that is Compatible and try it, not saying there is anything wrong with Dutty's , but could just be the download , but not sure since you tried stock too ...
You may need to reinstall HSPL3, if you tried to flash a stock rom, and even if it failed it could have removed HSPL ...
Also try plugging the USB cable into the back of the machine

error 260 1024hd2
Hey guys,
I am having the same issue although I may know the answer but not sure how to fix it. Prior to flashing chuckyRom, I installed HSPL but I don't think I installed the correct version (still worked). So does anyone think this entire problem is attributed to initially installing the wrong hard SPL. If so, how can this be fixed? android is running great on chuckyRom but it would be nice to use a rom that is used for more than running android.
Please help, I have been in misery trying to solve this for over two weeks now.

Finally I got it work.

At the end I used another usb port and it asked me to download the CDMA driver. After download and installation, the update was in 5 min. done
