First Rom Upgrade

hi guyz
am going to upgrade my XDA-Exec (Universal) G4 for the first time. its currently running WM5 from O2 but i am going to use it with another Service Provider.
now want to make sure of couple of things.
first... is there any HardSPL type of programe for Universal so that atleast i dont endup bricking the phone ?
second what exactly does the CID/EROM locks are for or SIM lock. I can use my other companies SIM in this phone so do i still need to do it ?
third how safe is the ROM updating without anything like HardSPL....?
reason why iam asking this is because its my friends phone and dont wanna brick it and second i have upgraded my HERM but have not done a Universal WM5 to 6 or 6.1 upgrade

Welcome.
No Their Is No HardSPL For Universal.
IMHO CID Unlocking Should Be Done As Various Bootloader Commands For Recovering The Device Will Only Work On A CID Unlocked Device. (I Think!)
Rom Upgrading Is Relatively Safe. Jus Make Sure The Battery Is Fully Charged.
Read The WIKI For More Information.
I Hope All Goes Smoothly For You.
P.S I Highly Reccomend Tomal's 8.0 Rom!

OllieD

aaaa what is IMHO CID ? and how do i unlock it ?

Tis In The Wiki...
This Link Should Help You Out...
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Uni_Simlock_by_Buzz_and_team
This Tool Is For Sim Unlocking The Device But Also Makes The Device SUPERCID (SUPERCID Unlocks All Bootloader Commands)
Regards,
OllieD

STUCKK .... Yikeeesss
guyz ..
i got the ROM updated last night and was using when i finally thought of using another ROM... while upgrading the other rom it just gave and error message on the PC and the phone was on the page where it ask you to press 0 for default ... so i did that and the phone restarted but now its stuck on the Splash Screen (the O2 operator starting screen) ...
if i connect the phone to the PC it will not recognize the phone as its totally stuck on the Splash screen ... if i try to goto the bootloader screen it gives me the same message of either Pressing X or 0 ... also the USB is not recognizing it ..
what to do .????

Revive bricked Artemis on bootloader mode

Hello to all:
Only after try searching in forum and google i decided to wirte in this fantastic forum. Sorry for my poor english....
I have a ebay-purchased Artemis (P3300) and, using Opera mobile it freeze and I swithched off. It never change Windows Mobile more....
It only reachs the bootloader mode and if I try to charge another ROM but I can't because it give an ID error. The device is not CID unlocked....
I try to unlock it:
- Kaiser unlocker: not posible, requires ActiveSync
- SuperCID: the same above
- Blackstone Cid unlocker: Is my solution....but doesn't work!!
Changing the Vista-driver and in Xp I get the same promp:
Device no response (or similar)
I can use RUU with mtty without problem.
The posibles solutions the I can understand throught this forum are:
- Technical Service: No posible, the ebay-vendor removed the IMEI - without IMEI they don't repare without a legal IMEI (and in garantee...)
- Hard Reset: doesn't work, the device format his internal device, start windows installation and it freeze completely.
- CID unlock: Only posible in bootloader mode and in doesn't work with blackStone
- Original ROM: If i could find the original ROM, the device will complete the actualization and (with lots of luck...) restart the device OK
There is another solution?? a tecnical service without IMEI requirement??
Thank you very much, I'm waiting hopefully answer....
thanks!!

Hi,
Without IMEI your device is useless. Send it back to the vendor.
Dirk

I know....
I know but without IMEI is not useful, but I purchased it three months ago and now i can't ask anything to the vendor....
Then, do you think that it is a hardware problem or a software prolem??
Thank a lot!

It's both... the SW needs the IMEI (hardcoded in the HW) to check if the device is accessible. IMEI is like an ID-card for humans... without ID you don't exist, just like a phone without IMEI doesn't exist.
Will look nice as paperweight though
Dirk

No IMEI stick
The device has an IMEI and was functionally for two months without any problems... but the IMEI stick is not attached into the battery hole.
Then, in real the device has an IMEI and can work as a telephone, but I have no way to know it....
His use as paperweight is the last choice...i hope!!, In this case....it will be an very beautiful one....
Then, If i could restore the ROM on the device, maybe it would work properly...
Any idea to restore it??
thank a lot!!

New to ROM update, need help

Hi all,
I have read alot of your articles to update to WM 6.5. I have a Palm Treo 750I downloaded the CeetahUnlocker.exe and the Cheeimg.nbh. I ran the CeetahUnlocker.exe and clicked on the "Flash SPL" which after my second try worked fine. My phone boots with the Palm logo and not the AT&T logo it initially had. The other thing when I hold the media key and do a soft reset the phone enters the Bootloader program, therefore I think the "Flash SPL" went okay. The problem I am having is that the second step "Unlock Radio" does not work that is a ERROR message happens after the phone goes into the Bootloader mode. Can you guys tell me If my phone was unlocked to use my local carrier do I have to unlock the radio ect. Please help as this is becoming very fustrating.
thank you in advance
Anthony

Come on guys... anyone, someone pls help...

Hi, u just need to use the Athena_unlocker at that point to unlock ur carrier and thats it

I bought my phone unlock so do I still need to do this. Their are 2 Carrier in my country and I can use the simm card of anyone of them...

If your phone was unlocked, then you don't need to do it again. Flashing ROMs using Hard SPL will not change its status in that regard.

Can you tell me then the steps for updtaing to WM 6.5 please

Assuming you have correctly run the HardSPL, there are many threads in this section that describe how to flash a ROM, so there's no reason to re-hash the instructions yet again here.
Pick your preferred version of WM6.5 (keeping in mind they all still have major bugs) and flash it. If you don't like it, then keep trying until you find one you like.
The WM6.1 ROM is the most stable and bug free however, just as an FYI. The WM6.5 ROMs are fun to play with, but I wouldn't recommend them as a permanent install for most people unless the known bugs don't affect functions you regularly use.

[Q] Please help??

Hey, I have a HTC surround running windows 7.5 the os version is 7.10.7720.68
And I recently have tried to developer unlock my phone using chevronwp7.
But everytime I press unlock, it says I'm having problems connecting to your device, make sure it is pin unlocked and Zune is running; which it is. Can someone PLEASE guide me in the right direction? Thank you guys so much

Zune must be closed and your HTC should not be on the lock screen

Wrong thread!

I thought Zune must be OPEN. Anyways, I tried it without and it didn't work. Is my phone os too new? What else can I do? Thanks so much for your reply too

Have you installed Windows Phone SDK?
Have you installed Windows Phone Support Tool?
Have you installed Microsoft .NET Framework 4?
If yes read here ChevronWP7 Labs FAQ or contact support Chevron for solve your problem

Okay I'm still very new to windows phone 7, as I stated, I have wp7.5, os:7.10.7720.68.I have boot loader: 4.3.2250.0(128976). can someone please tell me how I would go about flashing a stock ruu? Do I have to mess with rspl/hspl yet? Please can someone help? I'm sorry for taking your time as well. Thank you much.
And also, sorry for being such a dreaded noob, but what application should I install for the bootloader mode when connect my surround in? Im on windows xp. Thanks again so much, I don't know what I would do without you guys.

Okayyyyy... a few things.
First. it looks like you're trying to use the original ChevronWP7 unlock. That tool is dead, and has been for over a year (it only worked on pre-NoDo ROMs). This is well documented. I'm not sure why people keep trying it... you'd think they'd read up a little before trying to use a hack on their phone.
Second. Why do you want to flash a stock ROM? (RUU = ROM Update Utility) In any case, the procedure is simple: turn the phone off, hold the Volume Down button, press Power to start the phone again. It'll boot to a screen with bands of color and yellow text. Next, connect it to the PC. You'll need the relevant drivers; Vista and up will install them automatically but for some reason you're still running an 11-year-old OS on your PC so you might need to install them manually (I think they are included with the Windows Mobile Device Center download from Microsoft). The phone should say USB at the bottom when it's connected; at that point just run the RUU program.
Thrid. RSPL / HSPL are replacement bootloaders for WP7. They allow installing custom ROMs. If you want to do that, you'll need to first downgrade your current bootloader; SPL 4.3 is too high for using RSPL. Since you're not on SPL 5.X yet, I think you can downgrade just by installing an older stock ROM or radio update. Otherwise, there are a number of guides for how to downgrade the SPL.

That's the reason I need to downgrade lol thanks

By chance, do you know the new way to unlock or do I have to flash a custom rom? Thanks

You are on a developer-locked HTC phone? The first option is to try getting dev-unlocked, for example by getting an AppHub account or a friend who has one. They're free for students (go through Dreamspark). The second option is to use a custom ROM. The third option is to wait until a new hack is found.
Once you're dev-unlocked, you can use the Interop-Unlock app from Heathcliff74 (the HTC one, specifically) to allow unlimited sideloading. Then, you can install WP7 Root Tools 0.9 to get nearly full access to the device.

Thanks so much. Will report back with results.

So sorry, but I did all the research I could and couldn't find an updated method of going through dreamspark. I registered and man I hate myself for this, but can anyone help me please?
EDIT: I am enjoying interop unlock on intrinsic ROM and I love it!!! Thank you all so much for your help! My next and hopefully last question is, is it okay to update my radio while I have hspl? Or do I have to ospl first thanks!

[Q] Need help :)

Hello. I got my HTC 7 Trophy developer - unlocked to install bt file sharing app, but it need fully unlocked phone... I tried getting it fully unlocked via RSPL launcher, I did everything by instructions, but it seems that i'm not getting "USB" sign at the bottom of the tri- color screen when im in bootloader. Anyone know how to fix this or another way to do full- unlock? Oh yeah, i tried custom rom... not working... It says that it's not connected to computer when in bootloader, but when it' regular, it connects to zune and sync and stuff.... Sorry for my english, and i'm also kind of noob when it gets to this... Help is appreciated.

not possible yet, experienced the same problem. not even with goldcard.
