Do Not flash your Artemis with a different carrier/cooked Rom without cid unlocking

meschle · May 13, 2007

Noobs beware!
As a number have been flashing their devices with various roms not from their own carrier or country or cooked roms and bricking their device - I put up this sticky. Your device must be cid unlocked first before you do this. This applies to the coming wm6 roms to - if the rom is not specific to your device - i.e. if you try to flash the upcoming htc 3300 wm6 rom on O2 orbit - you must cid unlock first - with imei check or you will end up with a BRICK!

This does not apply if you are only updating the os http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=299154 or radio.

cid = country id i.e. locked to that country/language/vendor

cid unlock for the artemis is here with USPL http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=311403 (thanks pof)

or here http://www.imei-check.com/c3unlock.php (costs though)

Bricked devices

If you have flashed your device and not cid unlocked it, your device maybe salvagable if you can get it into bootloader mode.

Hold down the voice speed dial button and soft reset - you should then enter bootloader mode 'multicolored' screen'

If you do, attach device to pc via usb cable (a small usb will appear bottom left of screen) and flash factory rom. (run rom executable or RUU updater from pc) You do not need to be activesynced to do this.

Before you flash again with a non-factory rom, your device MUST be cid unlocked.

If you cannot enter bootloader mode your bootloader has been damaged and your device will need to be sent away for repair.

You do need the factory rom for your device and then flash it from bootloader mode. Contact the dealer you bought your phone from or htc denmark.

Whoops!

Just a little too late! Anyone want to buy a bricked XDA Orbit? ;-)

Does anyone here work for the carriers? Can they provide an official O2 ROM to fix out bricked Orbit?

Its only truely bricked if the bootloader is damaged - if you can get into bootloader mode you can salvage with the factory rom.

Well you need the factory rom from o2 - o2 have not released it so there is a problem. I have not found any links to download this rom or a link to a dumped rom. I will ask others in the team if they know a link and let you know.

Did you manage to get into bootloader mode?

Yeah the device goes into the bootloader mode. If you could find out where i can get the factory rom from that would be great. Also if i could have instructions how to upload the rom in the bootloader mode i would really appreciate it.

Unless you have unlocked you're device via imei check - you're device will still be cid locked.

Is there any chance a tool will be released in the future which allow you to unlock your device for free?
I noticed that for other devices such tools are available.

We hope so but none on the immediate horizon.

I flash my rom with wm6 buth it hangs after the update.
now it stops at the first screen. I can start the bootloader and see the usb on the bottom left screen but when i want to use the HTC P3300 WWE factory the solve the problem, i can 't connect via usb. is this because this is not the rignt ROM. I have this version on my artemis 1.12.406.1 9/12/06 FRE. Is there someone who knows where to find his version?

Another point, I've tried to put the nbh directely on my SD Card like explained on the wiki but nothing happens at all.
