XDA Orbit, ROM uploading problem

[marosv]

All, after reading all published threads on this forum and following all described instructions I still have problem with uploading new ROM to my XDA Orbit.

I unlocked my new XDA Orbit with Imei-ckeck.co.uk in order to be able to flash another ROM on my device. Everything went smoothly and the unclocking process was completed successfuly. The problem is that my equipment still doesn't accept another ROM, getting the same error message (INVALID MODEL ID) during the uploading process as before the CID was unlocked. So, I don't see any difference here after unlocking my XDA. Can you please help me to find out where the problem is, what I'm doing wrong?

Details:
My Equip.:
O2 XDA Orbit
ROM-version: 1.25.207.1 GER
ExtROM: 1.25.207.101

I'm trying to upload the new HTC Artemis, ROM-version: 1.12.405.1 WWE, ExtROM: 1.12.405.101 published on this web

Thanks in advance for all your inputs.

quite simple,

the roms you are trying to install are test-roms, just as the full name states it on the wiki.(afaik diffrent bootloader)
use the tmouk or the dopod rom and you are off in a zip with an english rom from either tmobile or the dopod p800w( by the way the rom i prefer- by far faster working than the earlier tmobile roms!!!)

Thanks Thormdac!

Does it mean I cannot use the standard HTC ROM, never? or is there any way how to change the bootloader? If I would upload the mentioned Dopod ROM, would that support my WLAN which is now working properly? I would rather use the O2 WWE version, but cannot find it anywhere.

Thanks again, you're very helpful!

i havent seen any other orig rom updates then the ones from tmouk and dopod. since the dopd p800w originally comes with wlan it should work on your wlan equipped machine. on my hero it doesnt cause it doesnt have wlan chip onboard.

we`ll have to see about other e.g. htc roms, but definitely are the test!!! roms not working

[marosv]

I've tried the recommended Dopod rom version, but got the same error message (Invalid model ID). Have no ideal where the problem is.

[thormdac]

dont know then, contact imei check and /or rerun the unlock routine

what about tmouk rom. works all fine by me, dopod and tmouk!

[marosv]

yep, I know, I did...see my first post. I think I did everything exactly as described here, but still it doesn't work.
I can try the Tmouk rom wwe, but I am not sure whether it supports my wlan.
Is there anything else in the process I've overlooked? Has anyone else tried to change rom in O2 Orbit?

i'm also wondering about the difficulty and sheer viability of this rom change, cause i only have the option of purchasing a german orbit, but definitely would need an english rom with wifi
