Did you do a soft-reset during/between flashing procedures? Some people THINK if they do a USPL flash and when they get a window popup after completing the procedure in the DOS screen, the flashing won't work because there isn't any activesync connection. THAT is normal, although the popup screen tells you, you have to have an activesync connection. Just ignore it, and don't do a soft-reset of whatever, just don't touch your mobile and tick all boxes and click next, etc...after doing the USPL you can do a flash with any rom.

I don't know this is the case for you.

Corrupted file...

First, this post is very usefull for many people and i wan to say: Big Thanks to all!!!

I've got the same problem. I was in B&B 3.7 and want to upgrade to B&B 4.0 on my SPV M650.

The only way for me to upgrade to B&B 4.0 was to "downgrade" to an official ROM (ORANGE WM5). When OK, run USPL and upgrade with B&B 4.0. It work.

Maybe it can work for you to...

Good luck:)
[P3300, MDA Compact III ROM Development] M@rtyn04:
Been following this thread for a few days now and have got as far as downloading the ROM and USPL files. However, being a total NooB AND lacking in computer experience I´ve held off trying to flash my T-mobile MDAcIII. So, if someone could help me with a few questions, I´d be very grateful.

1. I assume that the WM6 ROM is included (or is it just the TouchFLO?)

2. Has anyone done the flash and

NOT

had any problems?

3. Am I right in thinking this is an O2 ROM, and if so, do I need to reset all my T-Com connections? (an sms to T-Com will do that, I know)

4. Does using the USPL get around the Net-Lock from T-Com?

5. I can flash this over the existing WM5 from T-Com without having to flash other ROMs onto my device first?

So many questions! My MDAcIII is barely out of the box and I don´t want to end up with a brick and have to go back to T-Mobile with my tail between my legs and ask them to (expensively) breathe life back into it :eek:

Oh, and where possible, answers to my questions (pretty please :) ) as if you were talking to a 5 year old :D

In advance......

Cheers

Hi Tom! the rom is wonderful but I can't add contact in phonebook!whan I try an error says "AN UNEXPECTED ERROR HAS OCCURRED IN THIS PROGRAM"...how can I do?

tnx!
[P3300, MDA Compact III ROM Development] spangelsaregreat:
Hi,

1. Yes it is the full ROM not just Touch Flo.

2. It works fine on my MDAC3. There are a few bugs but only ones that everybody has, like no video etc.

3. This is a generic ROM in that it does not install any carriers settings. You will have to set up GPRS and email manually for T- Mobile.

4. Yes.

5. Yes, UPSL enables you to flash any ROM on your device. You could even flash back to WM5 from T-Mobile if you have that ROM.

Regards

Hi again :)

When i flash USPL, and get the complet screen in the Dos window, my phone goes into white screen, I gave it about 5 min but still nothin ?? Should I give it some more time ???

Maybe I should run the TouchFlow rom upgrade while my HTC shows White screen after USPL ??? And when it is in white screen after USPL, it disconnect the activ sync...

Plz Help :confused:
[P3300, MDA Compact III ROM Development] kewstar:
After the Dos window, you get to the ROM Update Utility for the phone, where you have to check the box that you understand the caution blahblah..and you can click Next...

After that you get a very fast 100% complete (it happens to me) and you got a window that the USPL has been completed, the device will reboot (and make an Active Sync connect) and then you can run the exe file with B&B4 inside.
[P3300, MDA Compact III ROM Development] Cobra2:
Hi And thanx for the fast reply...

The Problem for me is, when i run the USPL, and the DOS window gives me 100% complet, and my phone goes white.... I allso get the ROM update Utility and cheked the box and next, but it comes with a window messege that IT CANT Regonise the Phone :o :o :o And my phone just hangs with the white screen, Where the only way to reboot it is to remove the batteri :(

I'am feeling like a BIG nooB... :o

Ps.

What about this way of flashin the rom, can I use this method ???

Artemis SD Card flashing

This page describes how to upgrade your Artemis ROM using an SD Card. This is useful for:

* Linux and Mac users: you don't need windows to upgrade the ROM

ARTEIMG.nbh on a FAT32 filesystem

http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l193/dragonsoft/AEZE7_th_02_resize.jpg

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).

2. 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.

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

4. 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).

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

6. 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 ROM Development] bluetigger68:

3. a new window appears: after analysing your phone it shows you your rom release and on the update release, you will see 9.99 then flash it.

4. after 100 %, the phone boot again -> see your spl version

5-if 1.11.0000, then flash B&B v4.0

Tips appreciated!

Have finally decided to take the plunge and flash a ROM for the first time ever (B&B4 is so sweet looking!). But somewhere along the line I must be doing something wrong.

I have USPL.

I have the B&B4 ROM.

Am using an XP sp2 PC (no Vista here!!)

Soft-reset Arty then, ActiveSync with PC. ActiveSync connection is established. Run USPL. When USPL has spun its magic I then get the flash ROM screen. Tick the boxes (in screen 1 and screen 2), it then checks my device........ ERROR 240 check connection... blah blah blah.

Any thoughts? When I soft-reset I get all the usual T-Mobile guff and then Arty bounces back to life as a T-Mobile WM5 MDAc3 (thank God, better than a brick!)

What a wonderful release. I really can not wait to get to use it. However a couple of questions are bothering me.

First of all I would like to know whether this 4.0 release comes as a full install or is it an update from the 3.7 release to the 4.0 one. In other words do I have to install the 3.7 release first before I will be able to install the 4.0 release.

Secondly I would like to know whether WM6 already has to be installed or is it possible to run this 4.0 release from WM5 as I have not performed any ROM updates what so ever.

Third do I have to perform a CID unlock as I'm having a Dutch T-Mobile based P3300. Could someone please tell me in what order to do so as I would rather not have a bricked P3300.

2. Comm Manager also did not work properly at the first flash (only one Button was available) but at the 2nd time it's fine (*Update*: After Soft-Reset, same problem returns)

3. TouchFlo - i don't know if i'm too stupid for it but if i just start TouchFlo from Button1 it seems to start it but i cannot use it... any trick here? (same problem as jontymisra)

Thanks!

Only one comment to be made at number three. I read the USPL topic but I can't seem to find how it actually works. To be specific this is what I have understood.

It flashes your device so it will not check for any CID during a ROM update/flash.

The thing I am wondering myself and maybe even worried about is the following:

This USPL kinda thing, is it just active during a ROM update or is it somekind of hack tool that you only have to one time. Once you've done that no CID will ever bother you again. Not even when you are about to install ten new future ROMS.

I am wondering this as I would rather not have T-Mobile about to find out that my IMEI number (for example) has been disappeared by doing an USPL flash to my device.

Any information on this? What the USPL actually does.

The Calender Button -> Touchflo must be changed in the registry.
