yeah!i have emailed imeicheck and they rplied me in 5 minutes!i have successfully flashed my cosmo!!
this is the way to flash it!
Tools you need:
===============
- HexWorkshop from http://www.bpsoft.com/downloads/-
the ROM of your choice
- Winzip or Winrar
- a valid UNL file for YOUR phone
Preparation:
============
a) install HexWorkshop and Winzip or Winrar on your pc
b) in explorer on pc, RIGHT click on the ROM of your choice and use: "Extract files to folder ..." from conext menu Now it will unpack all the files
c) in the new folder you will have ONE file like "HRUU_signed.NBH" (*.NBH) RIGHT click on the .NBH file and use: "Hex Edit with Hex Workshop" from context menu
d) You'll see on the 5th row EXCA20000 ==> !!! make it EXCA***** (5 stars) and save the file
e) Now RIGHT click on ROMUpdateUtility.exe and use: "Hex Edit with Hex Workshop" from conext menu
Search for word "BsaD5SeoA" (without quotes, case sensitive)
You'll find it around address 0x3FC6C ==> !!! replace "BsaD5SeoA" with "IMEICHECK" (without quotes) and save the file
ROM-Update:
===========
1) take SIM card and SD card OUT of the phone
2) Connect the phone running windows ce to the pc (normal way).
3) Completely Unlock your phone using our unlocker <== REALLY IMPORTANT
4) After phone is unlocked run unlocker (again) BUT when the unlocker ask for UNL file, remove the USB cable from the phone THEN press "Cancel" on the unlocker select file window (unlocker will close on PC). NOTE: The screen on the device will not show something usefull when in this mode. Most probably it is complete WHITE. !!THIS IS NORMAL!! Don't touch phone, let it like it is!
5) After you closed the unlocker, attach usb cable again (phone has still white screen) 6) start (the modified) ROMUpdateUtility.exe
7) when update finished and device started you will get a message: "Data Crashed, contact service provider" (!NO PANIC!) ==> Simply fix this problem by running the unlocker again and this time select the key file normal way (full unlock process again). In case you have problems please indicate the step letter/number which is not clear/not working for you. If you REALLY do it STEP by STEP exact like described you will have no problem.
a thousand thanks to IMEI-CHECK~!!

just unzip the rom you downloaded and replace these two files

It says update utility is too old now.

I read the instructions again and now it worked.
Thanks for the help.

OMFG it worked on my S620! Thanks IMEICHECK!
Nice interface, and you can sync files now!

i tried this several times with no luck. i downloaded the two files and when i tried to run the romupdater prog nothing happens. the program will not start no matter how many times i try. any suggestions?

i think i got it to work now. i had downloaded the two files but had not copied them into the folder that had the extracted rom in it. i was getting stuck at the point where you pull cable out instead of selecting the unlock file. once i had already copied the files over i started all over again and when i got to the step where you disconnect and run the new romupgrade.exe i opened the file where the rom was and clicked the upgrade.exe file and the rest went very smooth and quick.
thanks to everyone that helped out!

but the beta rom is indeed unstable. i hope the final version will soon out!!

james_xl: what problems do you have with the rom?

"4) After phone is unlocked run unlocker (again) BUT when the unlocker ask for UNL file, remove the USB cable from the phone THEN press "Cancel" on the unlocker select file window (unlocker will close on PC). NOTE: The screen on the device will not show something usefull when in this mode. Most probably it is complete WHITE. !!THIS IS NORMAL!! Don't touch phone, let it like it is!"
I've been looking, but where is the unlocker program?

Hello,
you'll get the unlocker program with your imei-unlock-file from imei-check.co.uk.

Why my SPV5000 don't want 1.30 rom ?

Hi, i have a SPV5000 and i can put a lot of kind of 1.13 rom inside, like Qtek or Orange.
But impossible to put any 1.30 rom (orange, qtek french or WWE).
I've tried a lot of solution like "put the radio first" ... rest after.
Do you know if it's possible that my hardware version refuse this 1.30 rom?
I think the guy who sell me the spv sell me a pre-serie .
Thanks
The first question I want to ask is: How do you perform the upgrade? Do you use the No ID Tool? If not, try using it. Here is an instructions I made:
The file is extracted in your computer. Once you run the shipped.exe file, you need to go to:
My Computer
Your Drive (mine is Drive C)
Show the contents of this drive
Documents and Settings
Choose your folder name
Choose "TOOLS" from the menu bar
Choose "FOLDER OPTIONS"
Click on the "VIEW" tab
Click on "HIDDEN FILES AND FOLDERS"
YOU WANT TO SHOW ALL HIDDEN FILES AND FOLDERS
Now go to TEMP folder
Now you will notice a bunch of folders will show up, tons of them to be exact. What you need to do now is click on the shipped.exe file again and "LOOK" for the folder being created because that folder is what you want to copy. If you did not see it created, you have to manually open each folder and look for the files I listed below.
Assuming you found the folder, you will have these following files inside that folder:
ms_.nbf----------------------this file is responsible for EXT ROM Version
nk.nbf------------------------this file is responsible for Windows Mobile Version
radio.nbf---------------------this file is responsible for Radio Version
EnterBL
GetDeviceData
readme
ROMUpgradeUt
RUU.conf
RUU.dll
UI.dll
MaUpgradeUt_noID
If the file MaUpgradeUt_noID is not there. You need to get hold of a copy of this file as you need this.
There you have it, REMEMBER, you need to have the MaUpgradeUt_noID file plus all the rest of the file in one folder if you want to upgrade to the ENTIRE I-Mate ROM, QTEK, O2, or whatever ROM you want.
If you only want to upgrade to the radio version then you need to delete 2 files namely: "ms_.nbf" and "nk.nbf". Leave "radio.nbf" alone and click on the "MaUpgradeUt_noID" file to initiate the Radio installation. Basically those 3 files control what you want to update on your device.
Hope my instructions were clear enough for you. Hope this helps.
Thanks for your complete response
Of course i'm using the MaUpgradeUt_noID ... i have no error message during the process but at the end after the hard reset i have black screen.
and to try to only flash the radio I renames other files .
thanks
I steel don't enderstand ....

It won't hurt to try and update using Boot Loader Mode.
What do you mean "0.56"?
when I put my spv in bootloader mode, I can see on the screen :
on the top : USB

You might be right. Your exec must be one of the earlier version. I remeber some time ago, someone asked the same question you did. Maybe someone else can help. Have you tried upgrading it using my instructions?
thank you again and of course I've tryed your method.
every thing works with previous version but not on 1.30
i spent 3 days on it .....

I believe you need to find out how to upgrade the "Serial USB" application on your Universal for the No_ID Tool to work. Other than that you probably need a version of the No_ID Tool that works at an earlier version of the "Serial USB" version that you have. I'm sorry too, if I didn't help.

Windows update cab....

I see many people's whant the stantar Microsoft windows update in cooked rom's.
So i manage to make a cab with all the files,

Also with this .reg file you can enable the customer feedback in settings menu.

Work's only in wm6
EDIT:
Open the config.zip extract the mxipcold_autoupdate_100.provxml and the Config Loader.exe and the Microsoft_Windows_Update.cab in your storage card.
Run Config Loader.exe and choose the mxipcold_autoupdate_100.provxml the device should ask for restart.

It was exactly what I did. The only difference is that I've previously installed WindowsUpdate.CAB (before ausdim posts the fix) and I can't uninstall it...
I've tried to unzip files on PC and then put them in sd via ActiveSync and to unzip files directly form the sd card via ppc unzip. I get no changes.
To GDT
Uninstalling doesn't work from the first time, try once more and it should work.
I get error message with config loader

i must use an empty mini sd right ?
how do i flash WWE ?sorry i am not experienced in this field and even shops in my town do not provide such a service. I called Asus Malaysia, they are not helpful at all. I even asked if i could go to their service centre and pay for the service, they said no.
what is the worse that could happen if something goes wrong ?
i have run it in my asus p535 ...
it says ROM language ID: 404 (i think it is 404 too fast u couldn't see), now unlocking....
after that noting came out...
i try executing it again ....now it says my ROM language ID:0 , but my ROM is still HK00 , changing it to WWE MY00 is difficult, different region, different language.

Do you have a *.cap file (official Firmware)? If so, do the following
Download this.
Run "P535RomTool.exe -d6 AsusP535.cap" on command line.
Note 1: AsusP535.cap has to be in the same dir as P535RomTool.exe.
Note 2: If your file has another name, take the right one!
Copy the resulting GalaxyII.nb0 file to a clean SD Card.
Run ASUS.UnlockLangId.exe on your p535.
Perform power+photo+record+reset
Enjoy!

Mobile locked on welcome page

... after a wrong change in shellres.dll.049.mui !
The hex editor seems not so good... Maybe I didn't use it properly.
Activesync cannot detect the mobile because of that change.
I have the right file on my computer and on my phone (in Temp folder).
I have not safe mode tool installed on the mobile.
I think that a hard reset is not useful because I changed a ROM file.
So, how to recover the file ?
Thanks for your help !

Try to reinstall the ROM
If Activesync will not read your phone, then perform a hard reset. The hex editor did not modify the original copy of the file stored in ROM, so that should work.
It also helps to say which phone you have...
I have an Herald with WM6
The file I modified was marked as "ROM file" and I used ROMExtractor to make changes. So, where is the original file in the ROM ?
And how to re-install the original ROM if Windows desn't start ?
I also have the CD with the original WM6.

If Windows will not start, you should be able to enter the bootloader manually and flash from there. However, I do not have any experience with the Herald, so don't quote me on that.
Herald seems similar to many HTCs with a material keyboard
What do you mean when you say "enter the bootloader manually" ? What is the bootloader ?
And what about "flash from there" ?
Does the bootloader allow to start the mobile with safe mode like a computer, with similar DOS commands ? That should be nice, mainly when we have a material kbd !
Because I need only to copy a file from a folder \temp to \windows ...
I'm making some progress...
Ok for bootloader : I'm able to start the mobile with bootloader (with Herald, the key combination is Power+Camera+CommManager keys, without stylus).
So, I would like to only restore one file without installing WM. Is it possible to make a file copy from the mobile, or from a computer.
The computer now recognizes a connection to the USB port, but ActiveSync doesn't.
Any idea about using the bootloader or a safe mode ?
I have access to the mobile (starting with 3 colors stripes) from my computer. But how to access to the files on the device ?
How to access files without ActiveSync
I made a bad change in shellres.dll.0409.mui and my device (Herald) cannot boot normally. It is frozen on the Windows welcome page (WM6.0).
So, Activesync cannot detect the device.
I would like to copy the good file from my computer to the device, or to copy the good file which is still installed on my device in \Temp, to \windows.
Is it possible to do that with mtty, with the bootloader mode, or with another tool ?
I'm afraid that a hard reset is not useful because shellres.dll.0409.mui is a "ROM file" (ROM property checked, is it considered as the ROM component ?).
And I don't want to flash ou upgrade the ROM. It is Ok except shellres.
Thanks for your help !

My guide for artemis USPL.. 23/10/2009

I decided to write this guide because I found difficult to run USPL because the files in USPL folders not work...
The procedure works on Windows 7 and Vista... On XP does not guarantee since I do not use again because in my opinion is outdated...
After this small beginning premise driving:
0 - first if the phone is locked and cannot boot exceptin boot mode, download an official rom, for example
http://rapidshare.com/files/60087606/HTC_P3300_WWE_3.13.405.1_4.1.13.44_02.94.90_Ship_R.exe
and installing it. After that the phone should start... least to me it worked...
1 - Download the files for USPL.
The first folder http://rapidshare.com/files/284853186/arte_uspl.rar
and the second folder for the no size USPL http://rapidshare.com/files/284853603/arteUSPL-nosize-cmon.rar
2 – Unzip the .exe file of a ship original rom (A link can be found in section 0). Just click with the right to go on "Extract files" and save it on a place easily accessible... For example, the Desktop...
the following operation must be do with phone on wm home screen!!
3 - open the folder of the USPL first file and then go, "start_uspl.exe" after the operations in the DOS window, the phone turn on automatically with a monochrome screen that can be white (as in my case) or other colors ..
4 - Just close it appears ROMUpdateUtility...
5 - Go to the folder extracted from the official rom and replace the file "ruu_signed.nbh" with "RUU_USPL_signed.nbh" found in the first USPL folder...
6 - Join 'ROMUpdateUtility.exe "and do the requested operation...
7 - If the operation is successful at the end of the installation the phone will reboot itself...
8 - Open the second USPL folder that of no size USPL find the file "RUU_Signed.nbh" replaces in the original ROM folder instead of "RUU_USPL_signed.nbh" made in section 5... and let go, "ROMUpdateUtility.exe" and make the required operations as before...
9 - Now you can install the ROM that best suits you...
I hope to be helpful... And sorry for my bad english...
BYE
Thanks
Thank you very much, my Artemis have now WM 6.5.3
