Can't flash from SD, ship ROM from BL - err. 240 or 270

Hi,
Artemis (not branded, CID locked), boots only to BootLoader.
Flashing official ROMs (either old or new one) from BL ends at 3% with errors #270 or #244.
Tried flashing _official_ ROMs from mSD card (2GB Sandisk, FAT32 formatted, ARTEIMG.nbh renamed, in root of the card) - "Checking SD contents" and straight to tri-color BL screen.
BL screen shows :
IPL 1.12.0001
SPL1.12.0000
Can connect with mtty, but I don't know what to do with it
Any help/ideas much appreciated, thanks.
t.

hey
maybe the rom you are trying to is not the one for it
try to get one from the the htc site it self
cuz you need to flash the rom with the original carrier and language as i think
and since you can inter to the boot loader maybe you can run the USPL
just an idea

CID unlock first...
Your SPL must be 1.11.0000 for you to flash any ROM you like.

It boots ONLY to BL, doesn't start normally, so I can't USPL/CID unlock it (would need ActiveSync connection for this, unless there's some other method).
That's why I try to load an official, signed rom (from HTC site) - but for some reason Artemis does not like it, neither from card, neither from BL, even though it is the official "unlocked" ROM.
t.

But you said that your Artemis is not official, so that's a problem.
Being a official ROM doesn't mean that you can flash it in all Artemis.
For example, if the language is different, then it can't be flashed either.

By "not branded" I meant it's plain HTC, not Orange, O2 or other operator.
That's the problem - a HTC unit does not accept HTC ROM (but used to, without problems).

Did u find a solution to this? i have the same isue

>Did u find a solution to this? i have the same isue
Nope. Spent several evenings searching for a hint, found nothing.
I hope somebody will find and share a way to unbrick it, but since Artemis is quite an old piece, and the gurus are busy with newer toys, I guess we need plenty of luck
imei-check.co.uk was mentioned few times, that they can provide rebuilt boot-data (?) to be flashed but there're no info about it on their www.
It seems that software version information is broken/lost in the device, so ANY attempt to flash ANY software into it will result in some kind of "wrong version" error.
br

I dropped the ROM on SD
Try that..and be patient..you should see upload status that way. I waited 30 minutes at the RGB Screen before rebooting. Also..make sure you unlock your phone 1st.

there is hundereds of %2 %3 cut off flashing artemis on earth. No solution even mtty and goldcard.

Worked???
Did it worked anyway? I have same issue..So Im just wondering if I have brick or I have to triyed to fix it

just flash it
i think u just flash it with the original rom.

lol Help me plz. My Universal has NO GSM on boot screen.

My ppc can't switch on the GSM part (Show NO GSM on boot). But PPC part it's all working normally.
I don't know the way for fix it.
I tried to do following in every thread on this website.

someone can help me? T_T
sorry for my English if that's wrong word or sentences .

Anyone can help me? plz....

You said you've tried everything and read all posts here but you also said you think your Universal is CID locked. So, you did not try everything! Try to unlock it properly and see if you can flash a new radio ROM. This is the way. If the radio is somehow physically damaged I don't know if there is any hope. Did you read the wiki?

Thank for answer Wovens ,
I'm already to read Wiki of Xda-developers.
and I'm already to tried flash only radio rom or wince, radio , extend rom
Wince and extend can upgrade and working normally but Radio image can't.
Every way that i have to tried, it's can't let me upgrade.
What should I do??? or I must change ma PPC.

Not sure what exactly is the problem you are having, I think you described too many different methods and tried too many things that might not even be relevant to your problem.
I assume you owned your Uni for some time and it wasn't something you just purchased, so it will not be blocked by a network as stolen device/insurance claim paid. So everything works, but you cannot make calls, there is no signal, you have a little X next to your signal strength indicator and when your parameters come during the boot, R parameters are missing. Or you had the R, but couldn't read SIM or make calls. Is your Uni attempting to conect/establish signal?
I recommend opening the back cover and unscrewing the large white plastic thing that contains the camera and stuck on flash. It will be held to the board by 3 screws and a small foil strip under the flash. Be careful not to unplug/rip the flash cables and the foil strip. The large white plastic thing is your GSM antenna. It has 4 mainboard connection points, check that the connectors of the antenna are not damaged and are connecting properly. Other than that if the device is not advising you No SIM has been inserted (e.g. the SIM card is inside, but the device claims it's not) - re-assemble the antenna, camera and flash, reflash the original ROM and try a different SIM card.

Thank you ,enigma1nz
I have to check my GSM antenna. And the leg of antenna it's not damage.
The simcard slot too.
And I have to tried insert different sim card but not working again.
on 2 day ago I sent my universala to the shop that i buy to repair. But the cost of repair
it's so expensive (the half price of Uni), Finally I get back my universal without repair. -*-
He said , I must to change the rom chip. and wait for import the chip from another country.
>_< .. maybe my uni is paperweight forever. T_T

I had the same thing
you can buy a new universal board, i got mine for just 22 USD

Level = FF means it is a CID locked device. Most likely you flashed another radio without unlocking it and now your radio got locked.
I'm not sure if it's feasible to unlock it at this stage. But why not try...
Try to flash the radio 0.00 (included with CID unlock tool) using no CID check RUU.

If you feel that Uni mainboard in locked radio is not worth then I would say do some experiment....if that helps.
1. Try to download the radio to a SD/MMC card. But card size must not be higher than 2GB and it has to be FAT16 formated.
2. Try to upload (flash) the radio from the same SD, just to check if it works...
3. Let me know if that works and I'll then instruct further...

Now i'm trying to flash radio rom via sd card 512 mb, But i don't know the correct method to do it. Can you tell me how to flash rom via sd card.
And When I use r2d or any command it's look like not responds. expect info command. such as Vol check , loader ver. ect.
I want to tell you something . Tomal , Now i'm using your rom.
CE OS 5.2.21872 (Build 21872.5.0.62 TML ) It's working fine more than any rom that i ever flash in the past. ^ ^
---------------------------
I think my uni maybe can't work forever -*-
Okay..........., I can admit it. I'll think my uni it's only PPC not PPC Phone >_<
----------------------
And I think to remove GSM and PHONE part on my rom NK.NBF. And Make it's ignore this GSM Damage part. Cuz when I tap on the apps that use about GSM or PHONE. My uni is slower than old.
Can I remove the GSM and PHONE Part on my image rom ??
Mr. Tomal or anyone think?

the best thing is to flash with HSPL,i love it this video will show you how to install it
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4amlg-ogrpM

Can someone help as I am alsoplanning on getting the HSPL but I am currently on 1.61 ROM. The FAQS say you need to flash the 1.43 rom first before aplying the HSPL but do I need goldcard to go form 1.61 to 1.43?

You only need gold card to flash a different regions Factory roms then what came with your phone was shipped with not version number. So if it is WWE and you want to flash a different region then you would need to use gold card. But to downgrade the Rom to the 1.48 then you will need to find the 1.48 Factory Rom that matches what your phone was shipped with. And if your phone is branded then you will need that 1.48 Origianal rom.
Remember when you flash back to a factory rom after HSPL is installed then you will need to re install HSPL again to flash custom roms because it changes it back to factory SPL.

Flashing HD2 with WWE ROM

Hello,
I want to flash my device with 1.66.707.1 rom. I can't download it via HTC official page.
Now I have few questions. According to that I couldn't download it from HTC official page in my country because I've got inappropriate S/N. May I install it on my radio if I supply good (fake) S/N to official HTC page?
I even didn't tray to do this because I'm afraid I can turn my HD2 a into brick.
I don't care about language. I think that after flashing ROM I can download a proper language pack.
Greats.

invalid serial means your phone is vendor locked. (eg t mobile, vodafone or whatever)
even if you download using a different serial the upgrade will fail saying "vendor id mismatch" or something similar.
in theory you need to wait for your vendor to release the update, however in reality installing hspl will allow you to instal the update without getting the error.
go read the hspl threads.

Easy to sey .
It's my first Windows Mobile based phone. I've never installed rom, and yet a cooked one.
I've have some bugs about which I've read on this forum. Those are:
* lack of virtual keyboard while creating a new text message (or any app which need it)
* error while starting digital camera.
All of that disappear after soft reset. That's why I want to install the newest rom.
To not start a new thread is there any way to find out if the rom which I downloaded from HTC suits to my phone? S/N is correct. If I start RUU it will start flashing my device, yes?
Another question. Is it true that every HTC Leo has 576MB RAM but it is locked down?

read this then, it has all the info you need on flashing your phone...

As EddyOS stated, go read my flashing guide THOROUGHLY!!
1. Install HardSPL on your device (best done using WindowsXP or Windows7 32bit).
2. Download the Rom you require from the download site provided and flash using the instructions provided in my guide.
3. Enjoy your new phone
Once you have HardSPL on your phone it will be protected from bad flashes and you will be able to flash stock or custom roms or radios as and when you require. HardSPL is definitely reccommended as it has probably saved hundreds of phone from being turned into paperweights when flashing a bad rom or flashing incorrectly.
If you want to try a custom rom then I would definitely recommend the one in my signature but its totally upto you what you decide to put on your device.
With regards to the 576MB Ram it does seem that its actually accessible but only using the newer 2.02 Roms with specific Radios. This has been tested and verified. It wont be accessible on a 1.66 stock rom though.

- What ROM were you trying to flash and what ROM version (and language) do you have on your device?
- Is your device Branded?
- Did you flash HSPL?
- Did you see a progress bar on screen when flashing, or just the colored bars?
- When you get to the tricolor-screen (bootloader) and you connect to your PC, does it say USB after a few seconds, or does it say Serial?
- What went wrong at 24%? Did you unplug the phone, did your system crash, or were you just being inpatient?
If you answer the above questions, someone may be able to help you. Also, start by reading the stickies.

Rom was 1.48.479.1 and I wanted to replace it with 1.48.479.1 because some bugs were annoying me which I mentioned earlier.
Yes my device is branded but it doesn't have simlock.
No I didn't used HSPL because I downloaded rom from HTC using my own original S/N.
When I was flashing I saw brogress bar with HTC logo.
I have those tri-colour screen when I power on the device, but before that I have warning triangle. No it doesn't say Serial nor USB.
What went wrong. I swear I don't know. No, no, no I wasn't impatient. After it hanged on 24% I got error message from the program on PC with UPGRADE ERROR. I've tried to resume like the program said me. But without any effect. What I did was unplug; put aut battery; wait 3 seconds; put battery in; power on and plug in. I'm sure that I was doing everything right because I was following the program.

If i have 1.48 and with my serial can`t download 1.66... it is recommended to install WWE 1.66 with serials posted here without HSPL? my device is also WWE and was only sim locked Vodafone. (non-branded)

If you have questions regarding rom or hardspl flashing please ask in the correct thread.

if,when you put your serial into htc website, it doesn't allow you to download, then you MUST use hspl to flash an unbranded rom.
@y0ystet. your phone is branded. sim lock its not connected to vendor lock.instal hspl and try again, same rom.
@lakhbeer, did you flash hspl first? more detail please, messed up? doesn't work?
@rayman your phone is vodafone locked.
I repeat, the htc website doesn't accept your serial, you are provider locked and that is not connected to sim lock/unlock.

I sent an e-mail to HTC about that. They said I can send the phone to them.
I found sth out. If I hold the volume down and connect the usb cable I have a message on my screen. On screen which have three colours on green I have: "Upgrade Rom code error. Please try again" And on the white I have: "Serial".
Is there anything I can do about that?
But don't say me to flash witch the HSPL. I won't do that on two reasons:
I've never do that
If I send it to service I'll void my warranty.
What would you suggest to do?

I've solved the problem .

you going to let people know for future use?

HTC Trophy - NEED FULL FLASH

Hi, guys.
I have real problems with my Trophy. My English is not so good, but i try to explain my problem:
1. I had HTC_Trophy with Spanish vodaphone(vodaphone logo when system starting), but it seems unlocked, because i can use it in Uzbekistan.
2. Bootloader version was 5.12.xx, and i wanted to downgrade it. I wanted to install on my phone DFT v4.
3. I done it by GoldCARD, and i got message radio update failed , update failed (in red).
After this problem i can't install any ROM's, even original SPAIN. It give me error 226: Flash Write Error on 10%. Only DFT Roms installing fully, but after rebooting device i get 7 vibro signals(anybody know what means this error 226, and 7 vibro signals).
Than my friend installed in my device Full Flash (Model ID: SPAR1000, i have Model IDC401000) by Riff Box J-tag. And my device turned ON. But camera still not working, i think that it cause wrong Model id.
And one thing else, when i wanted to install Radio separately by RUU, i've got the same Error: 226 on 98%. Well i think that something wrong with my Radio module.
Any IDEAS???
P.S. Anybody, please give me FULL FLASH for my trophy, with Model IDC401000, for Riff Box J-Tag. I really need it.
P.S.S. Languages I understand: Русский, English, Türkçe, Uzbekcha.
Thx!!!

I've tried to install this version, but it failed: ERROR 226: Flash Write Error.

Try building a GoldCard, and then install the Euro Spark rom into your phone using GoldCard method. This will also change its CID at the same time, and make it possible to downgrade SPL and install HSPL (custom roms).

RUU​_Spark​_HTC​_Europe​_1.10​.401​.04_Spark​_5.52​.09_RELEASE​.exe is the name of the rom, it can be found in football's Spark/SparkW rom thread. Remember, this rom might not have the launage pack you want, but you can use it as a path to installing HSPL, and then a custom rom with the language you want!

First rename rom on sdcard, THEN install goldcard bootloader. It seems that if you don't have the file name ready before installing the bootloader, it doesn't work right. I never had this issue, but I'm also sure I put the image on before I installed the goldcard bootloader to the SD card.
Remember, this image may not have your language pack, but you can install a custom rom after doing this.
So long as the GoldCard screen tells you it is checking the image, it should be okay. Flashing with GoldCard can take 20mins to a half-hour.
Even though I have done GoldCard on SparkW (not Spark like you), i named my image with all capital letters. SPARIMG.NBH is what I would try.
Also, maybe RUU_Spark_Vodafone_SPA_1.10.164.01_Radio_5.51.09.2 9_22.32.50.10U_by_ansar (from that ansar thread someone linked you too earlier) would be a better image to try for the downgrade.
