Does anyone know if the XDA Orbit (Not Orbit 2) can handle windows 6.1 and if so do you know where I can get a O2 version please.
wow
where to start
all of the roms on the artemis part of this site should work with the orbit, but you'll need to USPL first.
None of them are o2 branded because there isnt an official o2 rom, but you can add the various settings you'll need manually afterwards. An o2 rom would (if it was released) effectively be the same as one of these roms but with a different wallpaper etc.
Just upgraded my o2 orbit using black & blue 5 off this site and after USPL-ing it it went fine.
use the search on this site for any problems you've got, and once you find a rom you like the look of read through the ENTIRE thread to see what (if any) problems other people have had with it and what (if any) solutions were found
only install a rom suitable for the ARTEMIS though (you're on the right page)
Upgrading O2 Orbit

WARNING! USPL should be used prior to using ANY cooked ROM, otherwise, you will brick your device, most probably..
here is the USPL which i have used, for the past 1 1/2 years, and this works fine with HTC P3300 & O2 Orbit (NOT ORBIT 2).. i have tested on more than 10 devices of each type and i confirm this..
This is the same USPL i downloaded from this forum, but i couldnt find the links from this forum, maybe im blind .. but i already have the files, so i have uploaded it to rapidshare.. here is the link...
http://rapidshare.com/files/201470586/ArtemisUSPL.rar
just EXTRACT, and then connect your Orbit OR P3300 to your windows computer, and make sure ActiveSync is connected and GREEN..
RUN start_uspl.exe, and things should go fine with the default procedure.. no complex settings, just NEXT NEXT type installation..
after USPL has been properly installed, you can try downloading any cooked ROM for Artemis from this forum, and flash it to your Artemis (P3300 or O2 Orbit).. i have faith that nothing will go wrong.. as even i try almost every ROM whether its Vietnamese or Italian.. just for testing purposes..

Thx mate.. for this.. can you tell me after i download the ROM then wat must i do? i didnt start the process yet
have you tried searching the forum yet?
once you've USPL'd connect your phone again (if not already connected) and run the ROMUpdateUtility.exe
follow the instructions
upgrading your rom will lose your data (contacts/ msgs and emails aswell as installed 3rd party software) from your phone so make sure you've got everything you need and you've recently sync'd with your computer first

Thx mate.. just 1 thing..
i got the phone from my brother..
he said that it is unlocked and when i got it on my hand it was working..
does this mean that the phone has undergone any USPL?..
it has WM 6 on it
no...someone will correct me if i'm wrong here but as far as i know :
'unlocked' usually just means it's not sim locked, ie you can put any sim from any network into it
this isnt the same as SPL locking.
when you reset your phone (poke the stylus into the hole on the side next to the dial button) and get the red numbers in the corner of the screen you will see
IPL x.xx.xxxx
SPL x.xx.xxxx
GSM x.xx.xxxx
and some more
if the SPL says anything EXCEPT
SPL 1.11.0000
it is NOT SPL unlocked
this means that you can't flash any rom thats not from the original carrier to the device
You only need to do this once, but once you've sucessfully USPL'd it will say SPL 1.11.0000
FYI, Topics about USPL unlocking ( using the search ):
http://www.google.com/cse?cx=000825...temis&sa=Search&cof=FORID:0&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8
Woow thx mate.. Now i can get it.. in my phone the SLP is some thing like 3.14.0000
cool.. well im thinking of doing the ROM installation soon.. thx
ok, you will need to USPL first then

Hello, just to start I will say that I'm completely new to PDAs, because I got my HTC TyTN a few days ago. So I had WM5 and I installed WM6 from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=320829
But then I saw the Schap's WM6 Pro 4.20 Roms, which had TouchFLO installed and tried to install the full version, when it asked for Bootloader version I ticked the SP 2.02/2.10 (or whatever it was), because it was the closest to my Bootloader version - 2.03 (if I'm not mistaken). It started installing but after few seconds it displayed me some error. I don't remember what was the error, I only remember that it said that something was corrupted. So I would really appreciate any help installing Schap's WM6.
P.S As I said i'm newbie with PDAs, so please if you try to expain what should I do make it a bit more .... simple .
I'd suggest using the detect spl option when you try flashing. If you still get an error I would highly recommend posting the details so you can get the correct help.
There are several ways to get in touch with a new rom.
Please read the wiki, there should be everything explained.
Hermes Wiki
If nothing works there is only one solution for me, yet.
Then I have to change manually to bootloader mode and flash the original latest provider rom. After this step I am able to flash a rom of my choice again. regards
"Error, Unknown version! You should pick safe SSPL" is the error that i get when I try the Autodetect. Should I try using safe SSPL or ... ?
I also forgot to mention that I'm using Windows Vista. I heard that there were some problems updating ROMs using the Windows Mobile Device Center, so perhaps this is the problem ?
To start with I strongly recomend you read the WIKI.
As first base you should install HARD SPL (again read the WIKI).
After you'll have hard spl on yor TyTN you should use autodetect.
(Make sure you are fully connected in Windows Mobile Device Center befor any of the above)
I've installed HardSPL guided by http://www.mrvanx.org/cms/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=30&Itemid=27
but I still get the same error. I also changed the WMDC drivers with those from AS again beign guided from the above link. Should I tick the SPL-2.02/2.10/2.30 New Bootloader or what should I do ?
Flash using an SD card.
YES pick Safe SSPL, it will run through and be fine. Sometimes that happens.
Flash a stock WM5 ROM. Get into windows. Download HARD-SPL (2.10). Use the force SPPL option while activesynced (GUEST) to flash the BOOTLOADER. Get back into windows, and use the same procedure for the OS ROM. Use force SSPL while activecyned..
Hello i have a HTC orange Touch Diamond and i want to update the ROM as it is terrible. I am not that technical. can someone please explain what i need to do from scratch.
Thank you
I suggest your search the forum...
hello newbie
yes use the search button...it works really well
You first need to flash your diamond with one of the hard spl on this site and after you've done that you can take your pick from any of the roms on here
sorry guys i did look just didnt understand much. I am trying to use Hard SPL just cant get it to work.
same here
I have an orange htc Diamond and would really apreciate which files wouldwork. Everything I have tried stay's at Zero and ends up in an error.
Any help would be greatly ppreciated
root directory
to use hard spl i have to put a file in the root directory! but what is the root directory?
Hi James, your failing at 0% most likely because the SPL your using will not allow unsigned ROM's. Look for another SPL, one with developer edition in the title is good and works quite well for me.
I have an Orange also, the first thing to do is install the SPL then flash the radio (.05 is good) then get a new ROM!
Hope this helps
i think i broke my phone!!!!!
lol
i put the 2 files sspl and jump into my Diamond then i run sspl from my diamond and my phone resets.

You need to do the following
1. Download the Unsigned HardSPL 1.24 from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=408621 and extract to a folder on your PC. Make sure you have Active sync installed and setup with your Diamond. Run the Updater in the 1.24 folder. Once the Phone reboots reconnect with active sync.
2. Download any of the ROMS on here and run the ROM to flash the phone.
Thats it !!!!!

Hard SPL won't work
Hello,
From what I've read on the forum and also on www.modmydiamond.info, I gather I need to go through the Hard SPL step before installing any ROM.
However, after trying 2 different SPLs (hard_spl.120 and diamond_hspl_1.24) it still doesn't work.
I'm stuck at 0%.
Thanks

Query on Orange htc Upgrade ROM.
Hi There,
I have recently purchased a htc diamond, it was originally an Orange unit but is unblocked.The ROM version is 1.37 but I wish to flash to 1.93.I have the Orange released version of the 1.93 as htc wont support me direct.Question is, if I do this will the unit revert back to being Orange??ie.....does this flash the radio back?? or will it remained unblocked??
Thanks in advance...

I have a gsm diamond (from t-mobile uk) and have flashed it to 1.34 hspl to use the new 25.16 radio and dutty's v3.1 both are working fine however I can't *upgrade* (i know it's not an upgrade per se) to hspl 1.93. it's stuck on 1.34.
using customruu it goes through the normal motions and on screen shows it to 100% then restarts etc, but after i check by going into the bootloader it hasn't updated. I have looked about and search for some time now and don't see anyone expericencing quite the same thing.
any ideas??

I have the exact same issue... I tired updating it from 1.24 to 1.93 and it restarted like it updated it. But when I go into boot loader its still got the old hardspl.
Does anyone know why??
I have tried searching around for a solution but no luck
I'm no noob and i've flashed 100's of times across many fones and unbricked a few with some careful reading but this seems very odd and stupidly simple. No idea what i'm missing.... only thing i can think to try is to flash from internal storage, but i would think this unwise with the hardspl as I thought hardspl would control access to the internal storage like some sort of bios perhaps?!
Same here
Hey guys,
Does anyone knows what is the resolution for this? I having the same problem as well.
Hi guys!
HSPL blocks write attempts to the SPL-part of the nand! You need to run SSPL from windows mobile and then flash the HSPL-Version you want. This is pretty much the only way to override that write-protection!

Hi everybody,
got yesterday another diamond, after mine died some time ago. It has 193 spl and I cannot upgrade to olinex spl. It runs through everything, but upon reboot it still has the original 193 spl. Any ideas? I really need to flash, mine speaks Dutch and I want it in English. Please help. Kind regards. Ben
Hi mates.
I'm really new to all these but I have read all this really carefully.
At modmydiamond.info I follow exactly every word as described and I'm trying to do the upgrade of my new HTC Diamond.
At the first step (upgrading to Hard SPL) the whole procedure lasts less than 1-2 minutes. It is supposed to last about 10 minutes. I have tried both ways..."If you are having problems with the device entering SSPL automatically, please copy the file "SSPLManual.exe" from the directory you unzipped the installation package to the device and run it (recommended to run it from the Windows folder). INSTALLING THIS WILL HARD-RESET THE DEVICE. Your device screen will turn black and you can start from step 2 of this guide" and the result is always the same: The progress bar on my PC (Vista windows) goes to 100% in 2-3 seconds and then I'm ready to click Finish. The diamond is doing the soft reset and at the first screen I can see again this:
R 1.00.25.05
G 52.29.25.12H
D 1.93.00.00 in red colour all of them.
Anyone has any idea, please help!
p.s. when my PC recognise the diamond it says something "quallcom CDMA" or something like that. I read something about CDMA or not. Is that helps? My device actually is a Xda O2 Ignito from UK.
im just a n00b in here but the thing is for cdma rom update you need something else like the tutorial that is stickied it says not for cdma users maybe thats the prob do you have a sim card or anyting else you put into your pda
I finally think that the CDMA has nothing to do because I have two Diamonds,
one XDA O2 Ignito and the other one HTC Diamond from Vodafone. Both of them from UK and I am in Greece. I did the same procedure for the Hard SPL and I had exactly the same results.
I also tried it in windows XP in an other PC and again the same.
Is there something that I'm doing wrong with the ActiveSync?
What else can you guess? Please give me some help cause I have to sell one of them and it must be in Greek!
hkayak...thanx for your response!
How can I know if they are CDMA or not?
I finally did it!!!!
Hey guys many thanx to all of you in that forum! I finally did it with Hard SPL, Radio and Greek rom! keep going on the good work!
keep ridin'...cause life is a free ride!
So as you can figure out from the thread title I have a problem flashing my htc diamond.
I have installed a HardSPL version 1.30 OliNex, I can confirm that becouse on the three color screen there is a text saying "1.30 OliNex".
I still have the original ROM that comes with the phone when I bought it, so this meant to be my first flashing.
I want to flash the phone with this rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=593678 it is a WM 6.5 based ROM.
Because in the ROM package there wasn't a ROMUpdateUtility.exe I used it from other ROM package.
Connected via ActiveSync and followed the wizard. The phone reset and there came a gray screen with a progress bar. Now both progress bars on the phone and on the PC screen remain 0% and after a wile RUU finished with 262 ERROR Connection error, see the attached picture.
After that I tried to flash it from Internal Storage. A followed the steps according the procedure, and after the three colored screen it came the gray screen with "Loading..." message. I waited for almost 30 minutes and nothing happened.
What seems to be the problem?
I assumed about firewall disabling the connection. But I turned off the firewall and again the same story.
Then somewhere I found that there is incompatibility with the RUU and HardSPL version, but tried to flash with the same RUU that I used when I was installing HardSPL.
Then I tough that the problem is about flashing unsigned ROM on a signed HSPL, but it is not that the ROM is signed.
I am afraid to use MTTY so I don't brick my phone, because this is my first time flashing a Diamond.
I'm confused What seems to be the problem?
Any help can be welcomed.
Could this be indication of a hardware problem? When waiting for the "Loading..." message disappear the back cover warms a little.
Thanks.
1. Did you use the RUU from my thread?
2. NEVER USE AN H-SPL RUU TO FLASH ANYTHING OTHER THAN H-SPL!
3. is this a CMDA phone. IE, what network are you on?
Well no I didn't use the RUU from your thread, I've used a RUU from other ROM package.
This is not a CDMA phone I'm on T-Mobile Macedonia network. And the phone looks like this
On other Macedonian forum they told me it is a hardware problem. Can this be true?
So what do you think about my problem?
Well no I didn't use the RUU from your thread, I've used a RUU from other ROM package.
This is not a CDMA phone I'm on T-Mobile Macedonia network. And the phone looks like this

EDIT: I did tried the RUU you recommended in your thread but it's the same.
I think it is in the PDA.
Configure active sync, and uncheck "allow usb connection" and try again.
For updating from internal storage you must have to copy the rom to the root of internal storage with a special name, ""diamimg.nbh"
Hmmm..
What he said... and...
Should have used one of the earlier SPLs. you only need to use the latest one if you are having problems with the older versions. I have the same diamond and used an early SPL.
Upgrade the radio rom first and go with a rom that's version 6.1 not 6.5 as most 6.5 roms now pack the Sense application.. (IMO Non-Sense, Senseless (Not enought ram or responsiveness))
Old roms here

As I understand you, you are saying to install later version of Hard SPL right?
So to install a new version of Hard SPL I just need to do the same procedure as the first time, or I have to uninstall the previous one?
And please help me which version of Hard SPL is safest to install? I'm afraid of the developer versions or maybe they aren't so scary
Are you a 100% positive it is the HardSPL?

Presuming from your post, you are using a signed Olinex SPL, i doubt that the rom has been signed be OliNex, the only difference with Dev is you can flash any Rom, flash the Dev one from my thread, nothing to be afraid of
Good Luck
Badwolve1
What are the steps of installing new SPL?
Do I just need to do the same procedure as the first time, or I have to uninstall the previous one(somehow)?
UPDATE: I did it, I successfully flashed my Diamond PDA! It seams that the problem was in the SPL I installed 1.40 OliNex Unsigned and it flashed like a charm. Thanks guys for the help. Now this thread can be closed, or do I have to close it myself.
Great!
Glad it all worked out
