reset and hold the camera button,you will see a 3 color screen...connect to the PC it should say usb in the bottom of the device screen....now install the latest update from your carrier.
PS
for future reference if you device is ended CID unlocked you do not need to use shelltools...just use the update utility provided by the rom.
also this info has been posted 1 trilion times

Its not that hard to look at the stickies (thats were the really important stuff is located).
Here's a great post for you to use:

thank you faria, bwesty and mfrazzz. I got to the bootloader screen and reflashed it with the latest tmobile rom. I'm sorry ive been asking so many questions, but i've been getting some mixed answers.
like someone told me (ill give the link to prove it) that flashing the latest tmobile rom will cid unlock your device. Im pretty sure thats not the case. And faria i did your latest rom and it got stuck at 99%, and i figure thats because it's not cid unlocked
i did search the forums mfrazzz and it came to no avail. You're right, if i looked really hard i could have found it somewhere, deep in a thread, but what do you expect from someone who just thought he bricked his $400 phone?
there should be a section for itself titled "I just broke my phone, how do i fix it" And inside that thread there should be every way to fix every situation. And i dont mean buried, i mean in the first post. Just a thought, it would have really helped and stopped me from bothering you guys
But as for now im going to go to the sheeltool thread and see if they can help me, i still can't get that to work.
thanks again

A really useful thread (besides the WIKI is: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=298613 it, by the way, is the very first item on the WM6 forum, this forum has Dr. P's EXCELLENT thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=285435 plus other useful stickies) It seems that your phone is 'working' after flashing the TMo 2.26, the first thing you need to do is find out if you have a G3 or a G4, then CID unlock appropriately. Skip the shelltool stuff for now, if you don't understand what phone you have, you will be on the road to "brick city".

demontefixo thanks for the quick reply
but, i do know things about my phone, i just have little questions that no one really explains throughly. I know i have a g3, i know about cid unlocking and how to do it. I've into the registry on both my (ex) tmobile dash and now the mda. I'm currenty looking for the best new rom that i want to flash, but i can't void my warranty and that's why im using shell tools. I've been reading this forum for quite a while, and i don't consider myself a newbie (i cant control what other people think) but i do need help on certain areas, and im sorry for even needing that

CID unlocking (as far as I know) won't void your warrantee--at least it hasn't voided mine (TMo US), but YMMV. That said, it isn't a bad thing to ask for help, (cross posting is generally frowned on) we like to help people who aren't lazy or stupid.
When you do post for help, generally the more info provided the better, but I sense you know that. If your phone is a G3, I am not really sure why you are seeking help in the G4 forum....anyway.
IMHO, Faria's WM6 works really well, and I haven't had serious issues with it. There are others that love different ROMs or will cook their own, great! Nottoosmart has a good looking ROM (a Mun derivative ROM) everyone will have an opinion, I know what works well for me. So "what is the best"? Hmm Faria's WM6 (for me).

While keeping your phone CID Locked does keep you from voiding your warranty in that respect, flashing a custom rom on your phone will technically void your warranty also (although unless do something nasty to it, you should be able to get it back to the official rom and with it still CID locked then you should be fine). Example: You flash the latest and greatest WM6 on your phone and then your USB connector breaks and your SD slot doesn't work. You now can't get back to WM5 so they will know if they look. Far fetched, but I'm just throwing it out that if you are really concerned about your warranty, flashing custom roms may not be a good thing. Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to tell you not to do it, I'm just saying that doing pretty much anything in the upgrading and WM6 forums here is basically voiding your warranty. But I think in most cases, the carriers don't look that close.
And please ask for assistance when you have issues. There are so many posts though, its hard to tell who has really read and who hasn't sometimes. Just remember that the stickies at the top of the forums are your friends and there is really good info there to help you get unstuck (most of the time).
i love you guys
Hi all,
Hate to say this but I accidently also bricked my phone (I had PDAVIET working and then saw an update so forgot to put it back to WM5 first and then to WM6 again, now stuck in boot screen )
The reason I post this thread is I got a small question which will be one of my last resorts to fix it.
As I can only access the bootloader I hope this will work, so here is my question. If I pay 28 euro to IMEI-CHECK.UK to get an CID unlock, am I able to install any ROM (e.g. WWE English or WWE German etc..) and also will it unlock while I only can access the bootloader or does it require a functional OS ?
Many thanks...going to continue and slap myself in the face a couple of times..
HTC PLEASE RELEASE THE FREAKIN WM6 Dutch....argh

you dont have to go back to WM5 each time u want to update ur ROM. Mainly you should have installed hard SPL before any install.
you can search wiki for unbricking, i am sure i saw one.
Well I found a lot of stuff for the Hermes, which reminds that I should have bought a Hermes when I had the chance and i'm now stuck with this piece of sh*t.
I even tried other roms for other devices , my only chance would be CID unlock and install a WWE or wait for a million years for HTC to come out with WM6.
Thanks for the reply though.
Cheers

Sure, you don't have to, but I strongly recommend this. I bricked my Herald a couple of times while flashing from PDAViets WM6. My luck, I have a RUU to unbrick.
This one is for the newbees:
If you don't have a working WM5 RUU to unbrick your Herald, you should _NOT_ mess with this stuff.
Would it be by any chance a dutch one? The RUU Rom.

NO, definately NOT. I searched my ass off for the Dutch HTC ROM.. But there simply is none. The only chance for unbricking is contacts inside telecom Repair Centre or sending your device to HTC. Or of course the (way too long taking) WM6 update from HTC..
If the WM6 update from HTC arrives how will we be able to use it. My phone allways complains about the 'vender id' when I use a WWE ROM. Why would it accept a HTC ROM?
Is there still hope?
hello i have a question about the WM5 RUU. can ik make it whit my one p4350 dutch???
if it can, how can i do that??

Well obviously the WWE RUU isn't for your phone. If you have a dutch phone you need a Dutch RUU, if you have a German phone then you need a German RUU and so on.
When HTC releases the WM6 RUU they should release one for each language.
Sended HTC an email 4 days ago, men what a **** company that is...I still haven't got a response. Is it me or is this a really bad company in supplying support....never had these problems when I had other devices (Mio A701).
Anyone got any news from them ?
Yesterday they said that the update will be in August.
I hope...

Email from HTC....i'm f*cked
Dear Customer,
You only can install the ROM with the original language of the device.
When you are registered at www.europe.htc.com in eClub, the site doesn't allow you to install a different ROM.
It doesn't matter if you are on the english site, your IMEI and SN number are recognised and will install a Dutch ROM if there is one available.
HTC doesn't have any ROM update for this device available yet.
If you require to re-flash your device than you need to send it in for repair.
Go to www.eurotwice.be
=> select language
=> Private user
=> Place your order
=> Select brand (HTC will be added)
=> Select Model
Type in customer information and IMEI.
Search which drop point to use and print out service paper.
Thank you for your enquiry, Should you have any other problem, please do not hesitate to call us. Your Local number can be found at http://www.europe.htc.com/support/csbyphone.html
Best regards,

Dude why? Just wait for the official release!
Vendor Id
Last day of my vacantion. What's in the upload? The new WM6 updates!
Let's try the Dutch one. Still got the Invalid Vendor Id message...
Do I have to wait for the Vodafone update?
How can I remove this Vendor Lock when I can't boot my device into WM5 or WM6?
Hi, i had a wizard for 2 years and buyed a xda terra now.
I have standard O2 German rom on it
I dontt know how to start with all the stuff.
I have wm6 on it and want a other cool rom.
What i have to do first?
Can you please send me then the link of the threads?
Sorry for my bad english , im german
ok so heres the problem. the xda terra can flash, but it cannot recover because a RUU has not yet been released yet.
The problem here is two fold
First, to flash you would need to install a fresh copy from the RUU, which is impossible.
Second, if you were to try to flash from your current OS, it would brick and you would not be able to recover because there is no RUU.
Sorry
hmm. i flashed it :S
it worked. with the touch it 2.3 rom.
i installed it over the original wm6 from o2.
hope i didnt a big mistake
oh wow, it worked? in my experience, i've always had to flash back to ruu before flashing. That said, you prob won't be able to flash again. Also, if you do try, make sure YOU DO NOT TOUCH THE USB CORD. I've like hit it a little and the entire flashing process goes to hell. Remember, for you, hell=dead forever.
Hey guys.
i just wanner say first im a noob at phones so dont flame me.
Right, i got a brand new t-mobile compact 2 (htc charmer) with t-mobile rom on it. i really wanner upgrade to Windows mobile 6 so badly but i cannot flash my rom cus it aint unlocked.
So i tried doing it myself with the unlocker this website suggests, but that always fails .
What i think happend is this mda has been updated to the latest t-mobile rom. Which is:3.8.2.21 WWE and the unlocker is only for the old versions.
I actually dont know im right at all. but if anyone can get back to me either by pm, email or If you know your stuff please dont hesitate to add me on msn, and talk me though it. trust me its alot easier to do that then wait for thousens of emails.
Anyway any help will be amazing. remeber im a noob so please dont flame me, i just want to be able to experince the mobile 6 that all you guys are.
Email/MSN: [email protected]
Thankyou so much everyone. I hope you can solve this problem.

You don't have to unlock your phone to flash WM6. Considering you've already flashed the latest t-mob rom, just go to TouchFLO ver. 2.1 thread in Charmer Mobile 6, download the rom, read the instructions and flash. It will work.
Good luck.
Okiess gonner try it now. hopefully it will, will get back to you soon.
Ill describe the entire process.
Nope still not working, wont flash.
I run the flasher bat file the screen stays completely still nothing happens and i donno why. is it cus its not cid unlocked. i know you said it dont, but one of the guys said it did.
Get back to me soon

my charmer wasnt cid unlocked too, but i could install [vlodeck TouchFLO WM6 ver. 2.1]

i flashed my x1 with some rom, and now i flashed it back to the basic rom but i allready have the hard spl mod (debranded x1)
and my keyboard now sucks, i got the bill / and support card
so can i go to the shop where i bought it and get back a new one or repaired one?
do i have guarantee even if i have flashed my x1 ?
thanks !
now u still gotta flash stock spl... just check the sticky threads...
also had tht keyboard prob... hope its not gonna happen again..
Uhm no it wouldnt work right now but if you look at the stickyed threads you will see a way to flash back your normal hardspl and your normal rom this way it will look like just an ordinary branded xperia
i have bought the x1 from a shop in germany
Without any brandings (vodafone,t-mobile,o2)
where i can find the stock rom for it ?
can somebody find a link for this one ?
Not very hard to find...

yeah and which of these ? generic de or what ?
and this ones are all exe files how can i flash them ? cuz i got hard spl on my device.
I wouldn't worry about flashing the HardSPL. I sent my phone back to Sony after flashing and didn't hear a thing. They sent it back reflashed with an official HardSPL and Firmware. There's not much chance of them finding out, and even if they did you could just claim innocence and say you have no idea what they are talking about.
If it's a problem with something that they would need to test with the phone turned on and working however, I would highly suggest you flash the original rom (don't worry about the spl).
Just my advice

ah man!!
extract it (rar,zip whatever) rename to kovsimg.nbh- hard spl
or read the sticky and like Lex said flash stock spl back
and if you wish you can take Zimbabve language, up to you to download one you understand
okay thanks very much, i dont know much about it.. but you helped me.. thanks for the advice.. !
one of my X1 cracked jz beside the back hatch. i've flashed it with cRoms from xda! guess what? i'm still up for warranty as long as the stickers protection the machine inside is still intact.
btw, does x1 comes with guarantee?
Right is just like a pc ... as long as is still in warranty they want care if u have customized it in any way or whatever they just reflash it to latest SE rom ... and repair it
never had problems
