Hi guys,

This has been asked a few dozen times here (I´ve read EVERY post in this thread): but I just cant seem to get USPL to work for me.

Some background info:

MDAcIII

SPL 1.13.0000

XP Home sp2

ActiveStync 4.5

I am trying to flash for the first time (and if I have tried this less than 50 times I would be lying). I have a ROM and USPL all ready to go. I´ve tried hard-resets and soft-resets prior to connecting to AS4.5 and USPL runs its way thru to 100%. At this point one of several things occur:

a) MDA screen goes black & AS disconnects

b) Sreen goes black with Linux penguine, text & AS disconnects

c) Black screen with Linux but no text & AS disconnects

I once got so far that the RGB screen came up (I got really excited at this point!!) after running USPL but the SPL was still the original 1.13.0000 and of course I got an error message and AS disconnected.

Now, I know that variations of this problem have been mentioned dozens of times in this thread, and that I´m not a special case. So my appeal to all you out there, please put your heads together to possibly help work out this problem.

Some of you have created awesome ROMs and programmes, there are many people like me who would love to use. But this USPL glitch is a real bummer. And if I am too stoopid to see the mistake that I am continually making....please, hit me over the head with the Dumb-stick.

In advance, my appreciation for your help and time

try reinstalling ur windows xp with sp2....as i did that first (im having home edition xp sp2)....n reinstall AS 4.5 (let it first synchronize fully with ur phone)... and also, not sure, but try resetting ur phone to factory settings before doing cid unlock (of-course make a backup before resetting it to factory settings)....
[P3300, MDA Compact III  upgrading etc.] M@rtyn04:
Thanks charitarthlal,

I´ve tried all your suggestions ( short of reinstalling XP, my gf would kill me if I did that!) and still get the same result.

It just seems to me that there are a lot of other members that have the same problem, but I haven´t found a common factor (i.e all use T-Mobile, or it´s only on German models etc). Maybe we should run a survey to see if there is a common factor?

Cheers for now

[P3300, MDA Compact III  upgrading etc.] M@rtyn04:
I have just up-dated successfully to a new ROM without ANY problems at all. See the above post for my previous problems. What I did in my caes was to dump my English ActiveStync 4.5 for a German AS4.5 (that being the native tongue of my MDAcIII!). I don´t know if that is a cure for all you who can´t flash, but my suggestion is:

USE ACTIVESYNC 4.5 IN THE SAME LANGUAGE THE PHONE USES!

So if you have a German phone use a German AS 4.5. It worked for me, but it could be just dumb luck. Try it (Spanish phone AS4.5 in Spanish etc....), you can only get luckier than you already are!

ERROR [260] : UPDATE ERROR + micro SDHC

I had tried everything and I was always getting this error until I removed the micro SD card.

In fact it was a 6GB micro SDHC, and maybe that was the problem, that the bootloader was getting stack when trying to find an image there.

If you get this error remove the micro SD card and launch again the ROMUpdateUtility.

Hey,

I'm a regular Blue Angel flasher...

My old man over in Scotland has an orbit.

I'm writing up instructions on what he needs to do to flash to WM6 (I'll send him the touch ROM from these forums).

Ive read the manual, and it looks easy....once it is finished and the update wizard appears...what does it do after that? How does it know which ROM you want to upgrade to? Do you browse for it or something?

I just need to know so I know what to tell him.

Thanks!

imagefile is corrupted

Dear Pof, I have a pre-owned o2 Orbit. It came with WM6 but I had to hard-reset due to IE malfunctions. Now I find is is an upgraded WM5 machine.

Anytime I try to run the uspl utility the pda either disconnects, goes into soft reset, the utility indicates main battery>50% or (when I finally completed the process process) "imagefile is corrupt-check update utility".

I suspect the pda is already unlocked-it had WM6 installed, as I said, but how do I tell for sure?

Is it worth going ahead and flashing the rom anyway?

Sorry for your trouble, thanks A.T.

Hello Everybody!

Yesterday I bought my HTC Artemis.

I wanted to flash the rom to touch 3.01 but without any success.

Every time I tried uspl I got an error[270] message (image file corrupted).

IPL: 1.12.001

SPL: 1.12.000

Radio: 02.67.90

I spent 4 hours reading this forum, but didn't find a solution.

Please help.

Thanks.

It finally worked!

Nice one, Pof. I gave it a couple more goes and eventually the unlocker ran a full programme. I have now flashed the full welly onto my Artemis. Excellent software-only gripe so far is that the enormous digital clock seems a bit of a waste of space. Can it be made a bit smaller-and maybe the date format changed (I'm nothing if not old-fashioned!).

Guys, thanks a lot.

NiceVolley, keep at it, it'll work eventually. Took me about six attempts-it helps to hold your breath while you run it.......Good luck!

When I run the start_uspl file, the window comes up fine and all runs well until it is 100% and then the PDA screen goes blank and the update utility window comes up.

I had a similar problem and solved it by disabling all today plugins and exiting MortRing, that was installed and running.

Doing this I was eventually able to flash my ROM.

I'm not sure weather one of both actions (disabling today plugins and exiting MortRing) would be sufficient but in combination it worked for me.

Good luck!

Mort Ring is a additional software allowing you to choose separate ringtones for category (not possible with Windows Mobile as far as I know) or single contacts.

If you don't know it than you propably not installed it ;-).

Just google "MortRing" or "MortPlayer" to find out more about these really helpful apps.

Today plugins are these tiny little applications shown at the start screen.

They are showing you date, incoming messages and so on. You can customize what plugins should be shown in a certain order.

Start=>Preferences=>Today and than on the tab Elements uncheck all entries. (I have a German ROM and just translated the menue entries, they maybe called different in your language).

At least I can't promise you this will help you.

Cheers mate, did all of that but it still didn't work...

Anyway tried it all on my work laptop and it worked fine... only problem was my laptop battery was running out so I had to stop after the CID unlock bit....

My question now is tomorrow when I get into work, should I run through from the start (i.e. CID unlock first then flash ROM) or just flash the rom straight on... or even flash back to original O2 WM6 and then start again from there?!?!

Frech ROM to English ROM

Hello POF,

I was directed to this link by Rudegar because I want to change the french ROM to English ROM.

The relevant data of my PDA is:

The version of the ROM: 1.14.406.1 FRE

Date of ROM: 9/27/06

Radio version: 02.67.90

Protocol version: 4.1.13.28

ROM extension version: 1.14.406.101

I tried exactly the way you described in the USPL_manual and everything went well till I got to a stage where I was asked to click the update button which I did. After then there was a window which showed "updating from current version to version 9.99". I was confused at this point but clicked "continue" and after this stage I got an error message and there was no longer a connection bw my PDA and my computer.

Thanks,

Hello,

I don't know if this happened to more people, or if it has to do with the type of ROM upgrading we use, but...

I upgraded my Artemis to Touch 3.01 by meschle following the steps as indicated, but after the flash the SPL remains the same (1.11.0000). Does this mean it's still CID unlocked until it gets eventually overwritten by some other SPL or can i (for example) use the splash screen upgrade tool freely without using the USPL again?

Thanks

EDIT: As i had no replies, had to test it myself and yes, it does work. Just for the record.

you can keep flashing radio roms or cooked roms as you like, and there is no difference with your spl, but if you use an official rom then your SPL is locked again.

ORBIT2 O2 Lock on SIM ACCESS

Hello POF,

maybe your update can help me?

I have the following problem:

Hello, i have a big problem regarding a ORBIT2 from O2. The guys at O2 dont understand my problem , so i hope as the last hope you can help me. As you know the Orbit2 is the same as HTC cruise, o2 has no sim-lock here in germany. I use a sim-card from another telephone company and all works fine. I have problems with the sim-access profile. In my car i have a Nokia 616 Bluetooth hands free unit built in which supports sim- access profile. If i try to establish a connection between the orbit2 and my in car unit it works to the point as they handle out the password. After i confirm the given password from the handsfree device it tells me that the simcard i not valid. Is in the orbit 2 a lock on the bluetooth sim access profile which means that only o2 Simcards are allowed for the Sim access ? Can you please help me, because here is no one which understands my problem. Maybe i can have another firmware to solve the problem,the phone itself is simlock-free.

I dont understand why it is only possible with o2-sim cards to have the sim access functionality.

Can anybody help me?

Greetings Wolfman-Jack

Cannot flash HTC Rom after USPL

Hi,

first of all thanks to pof for this great tool.:D

However for me it did not work. Here are the facts:

- Hardware: HTC P3300 (Dutch Version)

- Current OS: WM 5 WWE (original HTC)

- PC OS: Win XP SP2

I want to install the official HTC WM6 Rom WWE. I downloaded the ROM from XDA Developers (the HTC, not cooked version) and USPL. I followed the USPL process and it worked well. Right after the DOS box my device showed "Unable to open log" and "Tiny_console_open_done" in green, don't know if the log has any significance. Then I ran the installer and everything went ok. After the USPL Update my HTC rebooted and everything fine.

After that I tried to install the WM6 Rom. The P3300 went into the install mode with the gray background and the progress bar. It went to 2% for a second and then I got the error message: "Error 244: Invalid Model ID", that this rom cannot be installed on this device. After clicking 'Exit', the updater stopped and my device rebooted with the currently installed WM5 (no brick, just the old OS).

Before knowing about USPL I already posted and got the following reply:

...

- using uspl, you can re-flash with any rom (almost any, uspl needs some patching).

- if you try to flash dutch device with engl. wm6 htc rom, it will most likely will not flash even with uspl installed. to correct this, you need to extract files with winrar utility from flasher (.exe file, a new rom)

- open .nbh file (one of extracted files) in winhex or other hex editor and modify model id.

example:

if you want to flash dutch device with engl. rom, you will need to modify HTC__001 to code relevant for Holland. alternatevely, you can put 11111111, it should work too.

- save .nbh file.

- perform flashing as you would nornally do.

regards,​

Did anyone ever try this or did anyone ever have the same problem. To me it is a little strange as it is said that after USPL I can install ANY rom.

Does anyone have a solution? By the way this is my first time updating a rom, so I am not a pro. Therefore I am a little scared of bricking my device.
