    Again do these stuff at you own risk. Orbit originaly comes with Windows Mobile 5 and here is the Windows Mobile 6 ROM. Make sure you unlock CID first (country ID) before flashing any ROMs to any HTC device

    I had trouble with similar issues and someone suggested that I should just update the firmware on my handset. Took me a while to locate it but i found they had updated firmware on the the 'downloads' tab for the O2 XDA Orbit Is this a good idea or unnecessary? Im not sure, haven't tried it yet.

    this is customized bug fixed WM6 rom with all the latest features. all thanks goes to scalp from htc.


    Do Not flash your Artemis with a different carrier/cooked Rom without cid unlocking
    very nice you asked me first before downloading. i did not have the time to upload the CID unlocker (Country ID). you should CID unlock your device before instaling any rom.
    Download CID unlocker USPL
    http://rapidshare.com/files/83083582/Artemis_USPL.zip.html


    Instructions:
    CID unlock
    1. Unzip
    2. Connect your phone to computer, make sure activesync is enabled (green icon)
    3. Run start_uspl.exe on your computer and wait until process finishes
    4. follow the instruction on the program (you will have to disconect the device when try color screen appears, and reconnect it back again). just pay good attention and read everything ;)
    (Now CID is unlocked and signature check is bypassed so you can install any ROM)

    ROM Update
    1. Connect your phone to computer, make sure activesync is enabled (green icon)
    2. Run the downloaded WM6 RUU_update.exe

    enjoy

    1st CID UNLOCK (this will allow you to flash any rom from any vendor without killing the phone) (feel happy when you finish this step cos after cid unlock your phone is ready to take any rom)

    2nd flash the actual OS system (os ROM)

    connect the device to pc via Microsoft Active Sync and chk the sync icon is GREEN before runing the cid batch and RUU rom setup file


    read the instructions before do anything (txt file and attached readme)

    all the best

    tried but i get an error saying the file is corrupt :(

    and yes i have the o2 orbit not the second one.

    one more thing, once i run the first batch file to unlock the phone it completes but the screen goes white and once i switch the phone screen off and on again i get to the password input screen and its disconnected me from windows mobile device centre...

    edit: kept trying to run the uspl and eventually it worked, read up on the problem, seems to be affecting quite a few people. new rom installing as we speak, fingers crossed it works!

    yes nobody would succeed in the first time :) you will need to try 2-3 times. if you have done the uspl that means you are ready to flash any rom WM 6.0, 6.1.

    my file is not actualy currupted, i think the error you get is due to bad USB connection. best solution is to unplug and replug (specialy when you get to tri color screen).

    and remember to take out the memory card & sim card before flashing

    Hi, I need some help with my PDA,

    I have got a Vodafone v1615/ HTC TyTn II,

    the phone is unlocked, but I still have the vodafone theme and not the HTC one which looks much cooler. Where can I get this theme or is it better to update it to new operating system because I'v got windows 6.0 and 6.1 is out?

    Thanks a lot.

    So you need the white HTC splash screen instead of vodafone. yes you can flash the splash screen of KAISER (original HTC name) tytn 2. you can even make your own splash screen too.

    Windows Mobile Vista for kaiser tytn2 is out aswell

    BUT BEFORE FLASHING ANY ROM/OS YOU NEED TO HARD SPL YOUR DEVICE. (this method will bypass the country id check when flashing the customized roms) if you havent done hard spl and try to flash your device with any rom (splash screen , wm6.1) you are running a risk of killing your device.

    so do a LIFE SAVING HARD SPL before you do any upgrade.
    download kaiser hard spl here

    http://www.mobilefixed.com/shop/download/freestuff/index.php?dir=PDA & Smart Phones/HTC/Flash Files/

    i will upload the WM vista and HTC splash screen for tytn2 tomorrow
