Did you bought your phone directly from T-Mobile itself or at a webshop in combination with a T-Mobile subscription? I'm only asking because when you did the latter, there is a possibility that the phone was unlocked allready in the first place. When you bought it from T-Mobile, it is not a P3300 but a MDA Compact III and is locked. Small difference, as far as I know the hardware is the same (except for the logo), but the firmware and security settings might be different?
[P3300, MDA Compact III  upgrading etc.] obionenairobi:
just a stupid question perhaps, but couldn't I just return the device to T-Mobile so that they re-flash it - perhaps as last resort

The phone

Hey I bought the phone from GSM-shop.nl.Do u think it might be the reason?I doubt it becos wen I asked them they told me they take it from T-Mobile.But could be I am not sure.May be u can send them an email and ask.BTW the cover was still intact from HTC.So I doubt if they could change something or unlock the phone.But I think the IPL/SPL numbers are strange.Are yours similar to the one I mentioned?And I also cant get in to the bootloader screen.Which I cant explain either.:confused:

So may be it was already unlocked but with a very small probability.
[P3300, MDA Compact III  upgrading etc.] grun:
It is not a stupid question. Of course you can bring it back, but probably they will tell you that the warrantly is no longer valid and they might charge you to reflash the phone. Don't know what the costs will be though.
[P3300, MDA Compact III  upgrading etc.] grun:
Well, yeah, that is what I think. This might be the reason why yours could be flashed and others failed. But then again, I'm not sure either.
[P3300, MDA Compact III  upgrading etc.] RAMBO29:
Just to be sure...

If u want u guys can ask them.But i doubt if the ppl in customercare know anything about these things.

Is there any "non-destructive" way to check if its CID locked or not?I mean from the settings or anything like tht?I can try that.But what puzzles me is that I cant go to the bootloader menu.Seems suspicious too:confused:

Here is promised "Lite" pdamobiz ROM version:

[P3300, MDA Compact III  upgrading etc.] tghobar:
obionenairobi, are they picking up the phone and fixing it for free? what is the charge. I called earlier as well as a final resort, but the wait was too long and I had to go to a meeting.

Please tell me what did they say? more importantly, do I tell them that I actually treid to flash something else and screwed it up, or make up another story?
[P3300, MDA Compact III  upgrading etc.] EazyVG:
After trying out Lite as well as Powermap ROMs, I am inclined to say that Powermap is a better choice as it comes with some extra needed apps and you still end up having more MBs for storage than with Lite version.

Unless you want to have nearly clean WM on your phone, go with Lite.

Didn't like the Custumized ROM at all. Besides Powermap as I find is the latest compiled.

Personally I am still hoping to see one day Crossbow ROM (customized) for Artemis, which can be flashed without having to CID unlock.
[P3300, MDA Compact III  upgrading etc.] mamv:
Thx cosinusx. Looking for this perl for a while now :).

I'm curently using the powermap version, and it seems that it's draining the battery much faster than the original ROM. Is anyone experiencing the same problem?

I told the lady that all of a sudden my phone didn't start up again and hang at the boot screen. I did tell her that I tried several times to soft reset and hard reset and that I hoped this didn't cause big problems......

Perhaps if they find out I screwed around with a ROM that they will charge me.

I will keep you informed

Hi Guys,

i've a Orange french rom (SPV M650)

I want to upgrade my p3300 with this full rom of pda mobiz with gps.

they will work ? any probleme of bad id vendor or bad country ?

if they work, the update rom will be unlock ?

i can't take another rom like the HTC P3300 french rom and upgrade the pda mobiz without bad id vendor or bad id country ?

thank you
[P3300, MDA Compact III  upgrading etc.] grun:
Hmmm, that last question makes me believe that your phone is still locked at the moment? In that case I would strongly advise you NOT to try to flash another ROM.

The lock/unlock is not stored in the ROM itself btw.
[P3300, MDA Compact III  upgrading etc.] piek2000:
DON'T use PDAmobiz rom's. They only give you problems. Stick with the usual upgrade methods like:

1. cid /sim unlock your phone with Imei check (costs money, but is worth is!)

2. then flash with official HTC or Dopod rom's with the original bootloader isntall app.

Then you will be much happier :-)

[P3300, MDA Compact III  upgrading etc.] julesdakar:
how i can try this methode ?

in fact the SPV it's not simlocked operator, because i'm not in orange, the seller of this was in orange, me i'm in anothe roperator and the artemis work fine with my sim.

i have seen an original rom oh HTC P3300 in french.

and i have read that if i want upgrade with this rom they can't work directly.

thank you.
[P3300, MDA Compact III  upgrading etc.] phsnake:
sim unlocked doesnt mean always that is supercid. but this rom i really dont recomend.
[P3300, MDA Compact III  upgrading etc.] grun:
A simlock and a cidlock are two different things. A simlock is in place because the provider who gave you a reasonable discount when purchising the phone wants to have the opportunity to earn this discount back.

A cidlock is in place so you're not able to change ROM's. This might have something to do with copyrights of the original firmware.

As far as I know a company like imei-check removes both locks at the same time. Probably your cidlock is also removed, now that you mentioned that you are able to use different sims, but you still cannot be 100% sure. Better find out before flashing, to be on the safe side. I read somewhere in these forums that it is possible to get this info by means of a util called mtty. I don't know exactly how it works though.
[P3300, MDA Compact III  upgrading etc.] julesdakar:
in fact i don't know how the seller, has unlocked the SPV M650 sim, i'll call him to know if the cid has unlocked

thank you for your help i'll send a feedback

Bricked my Artemis?

Just tried the ROM from the very first post and I seemed to have bricked my device... the udpate wouldn't do anything and after 45 minutes I reset the device... now I'm stuck in the bootscreen. I hard-reset the device, but I can't get beyond the white bootscreen... I can however get to the bootloader... but where do I go from there? XP or Vista won't recognize the device to the point that I can use the official HTC ROM to reflash the device...

From my old days with an MPX200 I recall using MTTY or something alike to do this... I have all the original ROMs from HTC, but how can I flash it?

Any help appreciated!

I tried what you said before and it wouldn't work (device not found)... however that was on Vista... after your post I decided to give it a go and run it from an XP machine and sure enough it worked! I went for the original HTC ROM as I didn't want to push my luck with the Dopod one again :-)

Flash up

If you see three color stripes, it's enough connect correct USB cable between PC and device, left down you will see "USB" and then launch RUU.

That works everytime for me.

In Windows Vista it can be probably problemous (see up marcomas texts).

RUU = ROM Update Utility...do you have an original Artemis from HTC?
[P3300, MDA Compact III  upgrading etc.] Tsaareddy:
Ow OK stupid from me, I have an P3300 from HTC only the name is different as far as I know, The only thing I do not have is an original HTC ROM to flash. I tried to flash the PDAMobiz_Dopod_P800W_AKU301_v1.1.2_PowerMap.exe but it says that there is no connection. I checked the hardware settings and there is no problem with it, "hardware is installed and can be used" then I looked in the configuration of the hardware and see Pocket PC USB sync gives no problem of any kind.

So I think there is a connection, but the RUU seems not to see it or something. I looked for other ROM's i probable can use but can't find any till now.

Perhaps I still overlook something but I can't figure out what.

Thanks for your help and I hope you can give me some more help.

Tsaareddy
[P3300, MDA Compact III  upgrading etc.] cosinusx:
Yeeees so there is problem...PDAmobiz ROM is flashable only with activesync (you must be booted in windows at your device). If you have only bootloader to disposal, you must use RUU. Here is original HTC P3300 ROM:

Hi all,

Tried the powermap rom, and all i got to is the bootscreen! :)

Yes, it failed. while upgrading, it said successful, and when i did the hardreset, it came to my previous rom's Bootscreen and froze there.

So then, i go to the bootloader mode, and reflash it with the proper HTC rom, and am back live! :)

1. Has anyone noticed that while WiFi is on and connected and the device is pluged in via USB, the device simply doesn't charge .... as I didn't use WiFi with original ROM I have no clue whether this is true for all cases .... let me know.

2.With WiFi the device gets quite hot ... kinda not comfy on hand .... and am little afraid now !!! Could it be cause of extra app that I have called WiFi Companion 2.10.

3.. Audio Booster gets launched but has no effect at all (doesn't save settings) .... tried several settings .... same with you guys.

Anything else you guys noticed. I hope PDAMobiz will come out with lil newer and cleaner ROM soon .... WM6 is the dream.

Have you ever tried art_tmouk_11311001_024990_wwe_ship.exe? I read somewhere that this ROM is the only one that doesn't check the device id.

Even if it isn't the one you want, maybe you can use it to restore the phone so that you are able to get an ActiveSync connection. I think that that is the bottleneck in these situations. Once an AC connection can be established you can unlock the phone through imei-check, after that flash any ROM you want.

installed the PDAMobiz_Dopod_P800W_AKU301_v1.1.2_PowerMap on an htc p3300 with the shipped rom, cid locked and all went ok in about 12 minutes, must admit, this is now a flying machine.

installed also on my other htcp3300 cid unlocked (i have 2 machines) and went ok as well

NOTE i bought the htc's p3300 in vodafone stores in athens

they had the original HTC_1.12.405.01 026790 rom with the greek extended rom for the language V.3.04,

I have installed this rom on an orignal HTC (Dutch version). The upgrade worked without any problems.

I like it a lot, but it drains my battery from 100% to 10% in a few hours. I have had this before with a Prophet which I flashed to a WM6 version. It got better after about a week of usage and loads of charging. I hope it will be the same for this one also, because I really like it.

Fortunately also MSN (Hotmail) works, which did not work on my WM6ed Prophet.

Hope to find a WM6 upgrade real soon, because I like that just a little bit better. I have it on my Prophet and on my Universal. Especially on the Universal it is COOL!!

I also tried to flash the original HTC WWE version of the ROM (I hate my devices speaking Dutch to me), but that one failed with the wrong device ID error. I do not understand why HTC is so tight assed about that. HTC is HTC right? I just want the device in a different language, that is all. I do understand that T-mobile wants to prevent you from flashing a HTC or Dopod ROM, but I do not understand why I cannot flash a HTC WWE rom on a Dutch HTC device.

In short, I am happy with the new rom (if the battery starts to behave again).

Update 22-04-2007:

Battery did not get better at all. Decided to perform a hard reset. Left the device for a few hours and checked battery status again; 100%. So hopefull. Turned on the GPS function and waited a while for a fix. Checked again; 100%. Performed some surfing with WIFI and got the battery back to 96%. The device is now gathering some time to see if it will remain to be at 96% for a while now. If this is the case, I will try with GSM function on (now device is without SIM).

More updates later.

Update 25-04-2007

The battery problem is NOT in this ROM. I have reinstalled a number of my applications and the battery life is still OK. I am installing a few applications at a time in order to analyze which one causes the battery drain problem. So far I have not been able to find it.

More news later.
