hey guys dont forget the wiki, it does say very clearly.

1.Empty (erase the contents) of your microSD card from the Windows Mobile file explorer or format it from your computer using a card reader (in some cases format doesn't work).

Extract the .NBH file from your prefered ROM upgrade: In windows use winrar (right click) to extract the contents of the exe file. In Linux / MacOS use cabextract.

Rename the .NBH file to ARTEIMG.nbh and copy it to the root folder of your microSD card.

With microSD card inserted on the phone, start the bootloader (The bootloader is invoked by pressing down the Record button and using the stylus at the same time to press the RESET button at the left side).

You should see the screen pictured on the left, confirm flashing on screen by pressing the volume slider down.

Flashing might hang after some time but this is normal. Just wait. Complete flash takes about 30 minutes, so check your battery or connect to charger before the flashing process starts.

SuperCID devices are able to flash any NBH image using this method.
[P3300, MDA Compact III  upgrading etc.] neilhhardy:
and please do not forget to first use the USPL program.
[P3300, MDA Compact III  upgrading etc.] dennisv9:
what's the use of flashing your artemis with another rom??? the uspl update supercid the device temporarily? so there is no use to do the uspl update and than update the rom? updating with the uspl program should be enough without upgrading the rom? or am i wrong

i tried the uspl update, but after this update (i did not flash any new rom because i did not see the use in it) the unlocker still doesn't work. i firstly installed the uspl update, and then tried to do the update with the unlocker files... it only reads the content of the sd card but doesn't flash anything
[P3300, MDA Compact III  upgrading etc.] MaskedMarauder:
Me too, reads SD card, goes to RGB screen.
[P3300, MDA Compact III  upgrading etc.] chelas:
2. Insert the HTC customized key card into SD card reader and assign the SD Drive to this app.

This key card should be customized by HTC before.
[P3300, MDA Compact III  upgrading etc.] redski:
yes, we know... we've read this a hundred times...

but we get lost in the next steps... do we get the artediag and diagdata from the rar file in the app? or is it something that should come "personally" from our mobile?
[P3300, MDA Compact III  upgrading etc.] jcaron:
So again... Read the document everything is very clear written!

1. Artediag is the pogram which is loaded by the boot procedure

2. Cstdata contains the IMEI, unlock code and MCC/MNC code generated by the windows program

3. Diagdata is the RSA key needed by the program - remember there are two different keys in the compressed files...

So if you look at artediag (disassembler and so) you can see what the program is doing (the lock code). It will lock your phone with given unlock code.
[P3300, MDA Compact III  upgrading etc.] Xplosivo:
One question....

Do I need to use the USPL program before loading Artidiag.nbh? I must use the NBH file included in the rar or another from another upgrade?

Thanks ;)
[P3300, MDA Compact III  upgrading etc.] redski:
WE ALREADY KNOW WHAT IT DOES.

what we can't do is to flash our devices with the SD CARD. it says in the file to get our device into bootloader mode and the application will run. but what actually happens is that once we get into bootloader mode, nothing happens. if you've been reading the posts as well, you find that that's what everybody else is asking about.

ofcourse, we read and looked into everything that's in the file. and we know the instruction's clear. and we THINK we've done everything EXACTLY as instructed. but we still don't seem to get there, so obviously, there's something we either don't do right, or there's something YOU know more than we do.

so if you've managed to do this successfully and really want to be helpful, why not just tell us, if you please, EXACTLY how you did it, instead of putting up here what has already been said many times.
[P3300, MDA Compact III  upgrading etc.] dennisv9:
it can be written as precise as you like, the problem is that the program 'artediag' is not loaded during the boot procedure!! i know, because i tried it on my mdaC3 many times. so, as long as the program artediag is not loaded, the next steps will not work. and to be more precise, artediag needs to flash your device with the new simlock code! so, do you know a way how to load (thus flash) the device with the artediag program. the sd card method will not work, i'm not the only one who tried it many times (different formats of the sd card, uspl upgraded and not, renaming artediag to arteimg and so on, nothing worked). if you do not know a way, replying with everything is clearly written in the document does not help.

did you successfully unlock your locked device? if so, tell me what your screen said when you went into bootloader menu? what did it flash? how did you get your locked artemis clone to flash the artediag file from the sd card?
[P3300, MDA Compact III  upgrading etc.] soardiac:
reading all these posts made me curious. could anyone who actually has the program PM me with instructions how to get it? i'd like to look at this thing, too.
[P3300, MDA Compact III  upgrading etc.] MaskedMarauder:
Here too. I await their replies. I can not get bootloader to load from the SD Card. Period.
[P3300, MDA Compact III  upgrading etc.] jcaron:
First you are right. but it seems to me that not everybody is reading the docs - some questions are answered by the docs.

Second, for information: the SPL can boot either the arteimg.nbh or an artediag.nbh - just look into the original SPL you will find the section. The handling from SPL seems to be different (arteimg will flash an OS and artediag will start additional software/program on your device - in this case the simlock function). So ensure that your SPL version is able to start an artediag image.

Today I do not want to say more (how to boot this file and so on on your device with any SPL or on any artemis device) because somebody attempts to make money with - I believe - this tool/information... I want to hide my information until I have understood everything (what artediag is doing and so on) cause today it is not repeatable on all devices but on some. Maybe after my annual leave I have a public program ready but today I am very busy...
[P3300, MDA Compact III  upgrading etc.] dennisv9:
i agree with you. problem then is how to find out which spl versions are able to start the artediag image. my original mdaC3 (tmobile) didn't do the trick (spl 1.12.000) and pof's uspl update to temp. supercid it (SPL 1.11.000) didn't work either... and as far as i know, there still isn't an update for the spl. maybe people who actually got it to work can tell on which device and which spl they had.

me. mdaC3 (tmobile, dutch branded version). spl 1.12 and patched spl 1.11 didn't do the job. the ispl is 1.13.
[P3300, MDA Compact III  upgrading etc.] jcaron:
I checked many things for now. First it includes sources to lock a device with given code (so if anybody wants to know it faster just disassemble the artediag.nb all code is included). The Artemis is able to boot from SD either an image or a diagnostic program. On wiki the file format of a nbh file is explained except 0x500 the diagnostic part is missing for each device. The nbh tool is able to extract the 0x500 format but is not able to rebuild. So I wrote for my own purpose a helper application just for testing to generate my own diagnostic images and start them on the device after booting. I just try to find out more about diagnostic files (e.g. program entry point, file format, headers, signature). So I have to debug/disassemble the SPL code cause it loads the diagnostic program. After understanding this part, we can modify SPL and/or artediag.nbh to unlock any devices. I do not want the signature part included (which is included in the artediag/SPL part)...

For better understanding I am looking for a good disassembler cause it is not very comfortable to do it manually. Anybody has a good program/idea?

[P3300, MDA Compact III  upgrading etc.] Xplosivo:
The same problem, I can't start artediag image :( I'll try later with spl 1.36.0000
[P3300, MDA Compact III  upgrading etc.] jcaron:
I am just debugging the SPL code to find out more about booting artediag.img

For now I know that there is also a security flag which is responsible for booting diagnostic images - same as SuperCID / SecLevel = 0 flag. So amongst other things clear this flag and you will be able to boot artediag.img. Changing SPL version is not enough...

e.g. SPL:

DIAG Security Level Cleared!

Do not allow HTC signed DIAG image!

Do not allow Diag cert for other images!

Do not allow Customer signed IPL/SPL/OS/GSM/DIAG images!
[P3300, MDA Compact III  upgrading etc.] AD10:
....has not worked

Pof - It does not work.

I even held down the recording/voice recorder button to boot from the SD card (as if that will enable the writing of thr artediag.nbh after enetring bootlloader mode. Whatever it did, has not unlocked the SIM Lock, after a 5th try.

Perhaps you can look into what this does and see if you can hack it.

Disassembler

Did you try?: http://www.xs4all.nl/~itsme/projects/disassemblers/ida.html
[P3300, MDA Compact III  upgrading etc.] TryOG:
It looks like bullsh*t... I've tried with the files from both the folders and after generating the 'cstdata.dat', I've entered the bootloader...

It says: "Checking SD contents"

and enters bootloader.

After giving the unlock code I got as an output from the generator, it says that the unlock code is wrong.

And why does the readme say: "2. Insert the HTC customized key card into SD card reader and assign the SD Drive to this app. This key card should be customized by HTC before."

HTC doesn't lock their devices?

I have had a lot of types of Artemis'es, but none of them had these files?

Very funny...
[P3300, MDA Compact III  upgrading etc.] jcaron:
And again. This tool will lock and not unlock a device and it is a diagnostic tool from HTC - just checking if locking works as it should! Also the Artemis only boots a diag image if it is enabled (security setting) as I mentioned before.
[P3300, MDA Compact III  upgrading etc.] jcaron:
No, thx for the link. You have a link where I can download a "copy" - just for "testing"? :)

Maybe if we change the name of artediag.nbh to ARTEIMG.nbh. if we try that maybe it will load during the boot procedure. can anyone test that? i dont have an arthemis yet.
[P3300, MDA Compact III  upgrading etc.] dennisv9:
that doesn't work, read my post earlier on. i tried that already
[P3300, MDA Compact III  upgrading etc.] jcaron:
I think you all have not read my results. Renaming ist not the right way (nbh type 0x500 is different). Also there are some security flags wich allow/restrict to boot a diagnostic image. So if these flags are initialised with wrong values the Artemis will never boot a diagnostic image - I believe. For now I try to modify the SPL to start a diagnostic file... Just booting and renaming is not the solution. Maybe there is another "hidden" thing with the SD card so it is possible to start a diagnostic file, we can find it in SPL code. So best way is to understand the SPL code. Anybody who is able to read SPL code and wants to help is highly welcomed... But today I am off for three weeks... So last mail.
[P3300, MDA Compact III  upgrading etc.] neilhhardy:
Hi guys,

I am working on the above, jcaron is correct, we need to modify te artemis file and remove all restrictions then it should work on all types of

"artermis models"

i am reading away SPL coding and found some good pointers upto now (http://www.clifford.at/spl/manual.pdf)

but for everyone who is waiting for this file, we just need a good programmer to rewite the first few lines of the artemis file. Pof mate do you have time >??

[P3300, MDA Compact III  upgrading etc.] fdp24:
as mentioned before, this utility requires specific htc card in order to boot image.

even it boots, utility won't work. error message Init Decoder Failed

might be some confusion with codes (didn't have time to study)

rem: utility will not boot even from htc card if you have USPL installed, it must be original SPL on your device.

Where is the excadiag.nbh file? If anyone has the excadiag.nbh, I would like to try some testing.
[P3300, MDA Compact III  upgrading etc.] fluxist:
I got the hermes version of this utility to work. It required decoding and disassembling the (hermes version) of the nbh file. I found the security checking routine and cracked it. The utility now works for setting a sim lock to particular MCCMNC's with an arbitrary simlock code. Unfortunately, the utility will not "overwrite" an existent simlock. It will only set a new simlock on the device once it's unlocked.

After looking at the disassebled output, it is apparent that the utility contains numerous other functionality, including imei and cid changing. If I can get that working... well now, let me not get ahead of myself ;)

So guys i just bought this phone few days ago, and the first charge was only untill 96% and then i unplugged it, because its take too long... is this can cause some problem to my battery? or is it still safe??

pardon mee for my bad english, not my native language..
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heisenberg:
Did you use the original charger and cable? Of you don't use those you'll experience slow charging. Charging only to 96% won't have any bad effects on your battery.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] razerguy71:
so youre saying that my battery is still normal?

and btw yeah i use the original cable and charger, now i can charged to 100% after i let my phone die (0%) and then charge it uninterrupted overnight (like about 6hours)

thank you for the answer!
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heisenberg:
Yes the battery should be perfectly ok. Sometimes the calibration can be a bit off but you've charged to 100% now it's all good.

I don't think charging your phone to 96% or whatever will cause any damage to your battery and why would it? :confused:

What he was saying was that it wouldn't charge past 96%.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] razerguy71:
hey i have another question, this thing have been in my head for a while now i just wanted to make it clear for me

for example i have 80% of battery then charged it untill 85% and then unplugged it and use it for a while until drop to lets say 80% again, and then charged it again to 85%

is that also safe to do?

i just did that when unlocking bootloader and installing twrp recovery, seems like my battery been draining pretty fast after that..

sorry if this noob question annoy you, i just want to make it clear
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heisenberg:
That's perfectly fine with a lithium battery. Small top-up changes are actually preferred. It isn't recommended you let the phone fully discharge very often, it also isn't recommended to keep it at peak voltage (100%) for very long (try not to charge overnight). A lithium battery is at its healthiest within the 40%-80% range. So yeah, top-up charges are perfectly fine. About every 30-40 charge cycles (roughly once a month is fine) you should do a calibration by discharging almost fully (from 100%), then charging back to 100%.

I have an LG-H815 running the v10c-EUR software. It's been running fine up until today. Today when I turned off the phone and turned it back on, I got a notice of "service disabled" and the phone was showing the search symbol above antennae reception bars for a minute or so and then it would change to a small red "X". I have taken the battery out, removed the Sim card and put everything back to no avail. I tried the sim card in my old phone and it works fine. I did a complete wipe and factory reset and the problem persists. The phone will report "no sim card" if I start it up without the sim. When I put the sim in, it just says "service disabled" and then "no service. " I even tried going back to default apn and then re-entering my straight talk apn and rebooting - still nothing. I have not added any programs lately and I have been using a Qi charger with an aftermarket sticker with no problems whatsoever for the past 45 days. I haven't had so much as a hiccup with the phone until today!

Has anyone else experienced such a crazy and sudden loss of service? Is my radio fried, or is there a software solution to this? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daClaus:
Try your sim card in another phone and another sim card in your phone to determine if your sim card is faulty or maybe your sim card reader. I get the "service disabled" message until I enter my pin code.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stuartmc:
I tried the sim swap out and nothing. I also was getting a weird phenomenon where very briefly I would get one bar of signal and the no signal warning would shut off, then in a matter of seconds, the signal would fade and then shut completely off again. This looks like it is almost certainly a hardware issue that has nothing to do with the sim card or sim card reader. I sent if off to the SquareTrade service center to see if they can fix it (doubtful). I'm hoping I get a good result from them as I have not LG warranty and bought the Squaretrade coverage at the time of phone purchase.

No, I haven't been asked for the SIM card pin. My problem was definitely a hardware failure. I filed a claim with Squaretrade and shipped it off to their California service center. I just got the phone back today after a week's wait. At first, the service guys were saying it was a software problem and I wasn't covered. Then I called the claims department and read them the riot act and insisted they update my information to the service department about not having changed the software at all when the problem arose and all the steps I had taken to establish rather conclusively that it was indeed a hardware malfunction. Well....lo and behold, I get an update the next day that they had replaced the motherboard and it was now working fine.
