In case people come across this and are unsure what to do I flashed my cid-locked MDA compact III with this rom with no problems at all these are my instructions.

1, Download the ARTE file.

2, Hard Reset your device (2 soft keys and reset button) once it boots back up reset just as its about to run the customization scripts.

3, ONce you have it restarted again copy the EnableRapi.cab from the ARTE zip and install it on your device do a soft reset (stick the stylus in the little whole on the lower left)

4, once it comes up again attach USB cable and ensure Active Sync has connected properly

5, copy the OS.nb file to the ARTE folder and rename it to windows.nb

6, Run the UpgradeRom.bat this will start to flash your device it will probably hang so after 30minutes unplug the cable and give it another hard reset.

7, Your device is now WM6 WWE

Hope this helps sorry if the info has been posted allready but i like step by steps and i hope somebody finds it usefull.

Of Course I take no responsibility if this method doesnt work for you but it worked fine for me.

Cheers and good luck

I am not sure if I have the same problem on my wifes StarTrek, she has the SimEmu card with 5 emulated SIM. It makes the same when she uses the Simtoolkit app for switching to another SIM.

The fastest and working trick is use the CommManager to switch the phone off and on, enter the proper PIN and the right provider shows up.

It really works ;)

Today I was able to write the bepes WM6 ROM, although I am familiar with this way of flashing this time it wasn't so easy.

Not sure what have been wrong but I must had written the ROM 5 or 6 times.

I was always getting following ERROR:

"ITWriteDisk - An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host." at arround the 0x2d00000 address, dont know if it was always the same address, not sure if it was due to my battery wasn't full charged or there was something with the sectors which were kind of repaired by running the original update file everytime the boot stuck on the splash screen.

So there are few things I can high recommend before you start:

-be sure you have working update for your device (with the right VendorID), to be really sure, install the original update before you begin with writing using the upgradeROM.bat (pdocwrite.exe)

-charge the battery to 100%

-don't give up after few (5) unsuccesfull attempts ;)

The bepes file is shorter then 0x3900000, it is actualy only 0x3500000 long and thats why the process never ends.

So until bepe corrects the file you can change the command in the upgradeROM.bat

And if you want have control about the writing of the file to your phone change the command to "pdocwrite -v os.nb 0 0x3500000". The -v option shows you the actual status of writing.

I also getting the error due to missing \Windows\cusTSK.exe and \Windows\HTC_Default.tsk files when the ExtROM autorun starts after hard reset.

The solution could be if bepe can add the files to his cooked ROM.

Or you can use the steps dokumented in this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=1155823#post1155823 and customize your ExtROM. (Delete the row which tries to start the custsk.exe)

Portuguese ROM

Please help, I need a rom portuguese! my p3300 is a big brick!!! Help!
[P3300, MDA Compact III ROM Development] Neozzz:
I used the exact same steps but still it's very tricky, my phone bricked. I recieved a REPLLOG.exe error on my PDA when upgrading. Only problem is, I don't have an original HTC Rom that will upload to my phone in bootloader mode. So i'll have to wait for retail WM6 update.. all I want to say is that flashing this one to a CID - locked is risky, and you need to be lucky ;) . If i'm right, nobody succeeded in flashing this to a HTC model?? Only Orbit's and Compacts have success!

Correct me if i'm wrong
[P3300, MDA Compact III ROM Development] CAVADIAS:
Just something I noticed:

I was unable to flash it using Windows XP, the process took only 6 minutes and it ended, after hard-reset i was stuck at the O2 screen.

Once I tried it on my friends Vista 32bit it worked fine. (Still got error message) and process took 11 minutes.

Great! I have tried this and it works fine.

Is there any problem with this smaller ROM image file? Any possibility to modify the file to increase program storage memory?
[P3300, MDA Compact III ROM Development] PiGeonCZ:
I don't think there is another problem then the problem with infinite writing sing the wrong pdocwrite attribute.

With the pdocwrite is the partition on the Artemis written sector by sector from beginning so if the image is smaller it just doesn't overwrite the whole partition.

Have you paid 28 euro's to the guys at http://www.imei-check.co.uk/ if not that your device is CID-LOCKED! paying money is the only way to get your device CID-unlocked at the moment..
[P3300, MDA Compact III ROM Development] Pyth:
That's not true.. there are some devices that are CID-Unlocked from the factory. Some providers in some countries choose to not CID-Lock their devices. Unfortunately you can't check whether it is locked or unlocked..

I'm not going to try it just yet... haven't seen much Dutch T-Mobile Compact III WM6 Rom updates to convince me...

Guys I really wanna make my mobile WM6 but no one's made any reports on the Orbit. I have a UK Orbit (CID locked I presume as I haven't done anything to it yet). Will it work on this device? Will it work without the CID unlock?

Well it's not that BIG of a problem, if you brick it, you'll probably be able to enter bootloader. And then you'll only have to wait till June for the official WM6 update rom from your provider. That's why I tried it, but I had bad luck, did all the precaution steps but still it failed. Happily, I can enter the bootloader, so only have to wait for WM6 retail... :)

Try doing hard reset (with your original ROM) -> manage till today screen -> make sure you have an activesync connection established -> then run the batch file.

If you delete the dataconnection "The Internet", you wil see that it is no longer in the your connections tab. I you make a new connection, say t-mobile.. Programs as email will still try to connect to "The Internet" even if you set it to t-mobile.

If you then try to add the connection "The Internet" you will get a messagebox telling you that the connection allready exists..

Program Memory

Hi

I manage to install WM6 on my cid locked Artemis following instructions posted by EasyVG. Thanks a lot.

I would like to ask if there is any way to increase free Program memory because after boot i have only 17.3 M free

I installed Spb Shell and Battery status

When i run some programs the free Program memory sometimes if below 10 M

I would like to ask also if i erase Extended memory, the free Program memory will be increased ?

I downloaded the arte.zip file from the ftp and started from that one, and the upgrade now worked!

This is the full procedure I executed:

* Download Bepe’s WM6 English ROM

* Download the ARTE file.

* Extract the ARTE zipfile to a new folder

* Extract the WM6 English ROM to that directory and rename the file to windows.nb

* Make an ActiveSync connection

* Run UpgradeRom_Artemis.bat

* After around 25-30 mins hard reset your device (don’t worry if the installer looks to be hanging) and WM6 will boot
[P3300, MDA Compact III ROM Development] rvbcrs:
Thats why you have to change the value from 03900000 to 03500000 in the upgrade_rom.bat file so pdocwrite will finish properly..

I think you have the same problem, after you update wm6, the phone restart und stay in the boot log.

I see that many pepople have the same problem, the cause is that before you can update to wm6, you must unlock the CID (Country ID) from your phone, otherwise the phone stay after the update and you can only savage with the original rom and original language.

If you have a HTC German ROM please send me a copy, my phone are dead whitout these ROM.

Love the new WM6! Much faster and nicer looking.

BTW for all you o2 Orbit users who do the upgrade remember to re-download the 02 plugins from here -

Hi there,

I've been following this thread from the begining, as I am more than interested in having WM6 working on my Artemis.

The first step(installing the German version) is accomplished, than I followed the instructions given by Spamkit. Every time I get the same error and the connection between ActiveSync and Artemis is lost.

WM6 WWE not installed - one happy person

Just made it working :)....

The only thing I did is that I did not go through the first time initialization routines of the german firmware(screen calibration, a.s.o.).

To add here, the last 10Kb package transferred to the device ended up at the address 0x34F0000 (In this way you know for sure when UpgradeRom.bat finishes).

So the procedure is now:

1. Download & Install the german WM6:

http://www.o2online.de/nw/support/do...bit/index.html

!!!Do not perform any initialization, but connect it to a desktop computer

2. Download the ARTE (english) related files

2. Fix pdocwrite call in UpdateRom.bat (line 51) to: pdocwrite.exe -v windows.nb 0 0x3500000

4. Start UpdateRom.bat

7. It is done when the last address written is 0x34F0000 (watch the DOS box)
