Bricked O2 Xda / Cid Locked

[jthspace]

OK,

As you may have read in other posts, I, like many other people, have bricked my 02 XDA by trying to update the ROM. It appears there are very few XDA's / Artemis machines that will update successfully if still CID locked.

There is NO O2 ROM available

Once bricked, there are no "free" solutions

I sent my O2 XDA to IMEI CHECK and they reflashed the XDA with a new ROM (choose one from this site) - (O2 ROMs are not available). As soon as they had a working XDA, they emailed me to PayPal the fee and the XDA arrived the following day in the post - working perfectly.

All I can say is :-

I was an idiot to try and update a CID locked XDA :o

IMEI-CHECK are great and fixed my error for £47 :) :) :)

If you have bricked your PDA, the only sure way of fixing it, at the moment, is to use IMEI CHECK

If you want your PDA CID unlocked, the only way of doing this, at the moment, is to use IMEI CHECK

Thank you IMEI CHECK (I have no connection, other than a very satisfied customer)

Best regards to all XDA / Artemis users

Cheers for that fella,

If only this were a sticky and I read this potential sticky two days ago - i'd not have bricked my XDA like the impatient, impetuous fool that I am.

Never mind o2 can sort it out.

Cheers,

Yep, I wish it had been a sticky as well . . . . but you get to learn about life through all these little setbacks. At least there is a get-out and I have a working XDA again! It could have been far worse. :eek:

I'm assuming that now that IMEI-CHECK have done the business on your XDA that you can now re flash it to your hearts content?

Also, why is a compatible ROM image not available to reload the XDA anyway? is it just because in our case O2 haven't needed to release one yet or what?

I might just pay the £47 and get this one sorted so I can play with it afterwards, I would have to pay them about half that to get id CID unlocked anyway so it's not all bad.

I've looked at thier site and it tells you nothing - how did you contact them - have you a name and or number?
