Hi,

I have HTC Artemis (P3300) ARTE100 which is CID locked and SIM unlocked.

Phone was making some strange problems, would not show battery charge status even if battery was charging (checked with voltmeter), vibration would not stop on received SMS etc... So I decided to reflash it. I have used original ROM from HTC site based on device serial number. It was "original" HTC_P3300_WWE_3.13.405.1_4.1.13.44_02.94.90_Ship_R .exe

Flashing completed with 100% and "rebooted" but did not came back. After 15-20 minutes I tried to turn it on/off, reset but did not worked. So I pulled the battery out. After this I can't turn on the device anymore on power button. It will not respond to it.

Then, I have tried to hard reset the device. It showed the confirmation screen but after reboot I get green screen as in attachment. Even then/after it will not respond to power button.

It responds and want to enter into boot loader. Tried to do "plain USB" flash again but it did again as first time. Also SDCard flashing did not worked, just shows something like "checking sd card" but will go into tricolor boot loader.

Then I did something very stupid. In MTTY I was testing out different commands I have found. One of them was "doctest 1". I have found later that you should NEVER run that because it will overwrite CID/radio/security... section in mDOC chip.

Now if I try to flash with ANY ROM it will report different things.
* ERROR 244 (Invalid Model ID)
* ERROR 270 (Update Error - The image file is corrupted)
* ERROR 294 (Invalid Vendor ID)

After this I have tried MANY things which can be found on this site... but for most of them I MUST be able to boot WinCE to be able to flash new USPL/CID unlock trick.

Also, I have found that some models can be reflashed with JTAG but not this model. Am I correct?

So, my question is. Is there any way to reformat or reprogram (with JTAG) HTC P3300 and how to do it?

I have another (working and completely CID/SIM unlocked) P3300 which I could use as "donor" but I do not know how to "copy" the chips.

Any ideas?
