Different ROMs on variations

Apologies if this has been asked before, but if I were to buy the SPV M2000 and o2 later released a ROM update for the XDA2s including BlackBerry support (which I'm really after) would I be able to flash the SPV M2000 with this o2 ROM?
Thanks!

Anyone?

The simple answer is no,
the more complex answer is: no.
Before you use the O2 updater, you need to have the O2 ROMs installed on your M2000. Not really worth it in my opinion.
I wish that the CAB files for applications and customizations were available , wiping and installing isn't my thing. Love to experiment, but I am deathly afraid of bricking my phone

Hmm. Bummer. Thanks.
Is there any way around this?

well, if the apps you want reside in extended ROM, then the cabs cab be extracted (there are already extended ROM cabs on the FTP). If something is in ROM, then I dont know

Extended Roms

Extended Roms???? ok i am a total n00b can anyone explain to me what these are or what you do with them?
Or at lease point me to a tutorial or info?
I also would like someone to explain what the kitchen is for?...............(& dont say cooking food ....)
any help point in the right direction would be a big help...
Thanx PPL

This is in the Wiki, I learnt from there.
Just for you, because you asked nicely, the extended ROM is what is loaded onto the phone that is non-essential to operation (basically, anything that isn't the operating system). When you hard reset, and then it starts installing software after boot; that's your extended ROM being loaded.
A lot of people make their own because they don't like/want/need the software in the extended ROM (see: O2 Active, iMate bundling Skype).
The whole cooking thing I don't really get either, I think it's just another word for rolling your own extended ROM.

Lewisham..
thanx for your help heading on over to wiki now to look a lot harder.

Cooking is all about customising your extended ROM to include the files and registry settings you want straight away after a hard reset. You will need to cook an extended ROM if you want to upgrade to 1.40 and keep your operator settings for GPRS etc.

Hi guys,
I only found this site a couple of days ago and I have already unlocked my XDA2s, stripped the O2 software, and tried out a few little tweaks.
However, I am really not confident enough yet to do anything more serious, despite being an IT & Communications engineer.
Could you please help me? I am looking for your latest ROM version to use on my XDA to completely remove the O2 stuff, hence stopping it attempting to install software after a reset. I am also missing some useful utilities, such as the battery monitor etc.
Are there any extended ROMs readily available for anyone to use, with some useful programs/utilities included?
I have looked at the wiki but don't really know what I am doing!!
Many thanks,
Bret

Oh, and I forgot to ask... is there anything available to debrand the XDA2s? I would love to stop it displaying the O2 start-up screen.
Maybe there should be an XDA-Developers start-up screen instead. :wink:

If you look through the wiki you can cusotmise your extended ROM to whatever, I ontice you have an xda 2s with vodafone- have you got any installation files (CABs) that set up GPRS, MMS for Vodafone? If not, there are cab files that are easy to add to your extended ROM, the files are here...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=13498&highlight=orange+mms+settings
Other useful files are things like Pocket MSN and Resco Explorer, which you have to buy, along with O2 Plus (free download - search for it, I haven't got a link!)
If you wan to make sure all the o2 rubbish is gone for good, check out the Extended ROM kitchen , find your ROM version and then unlock your extended ROM and delete all the Operator Customization CABs that install all that O2 crap.
If you want to change the startup images (better known as splash screens) have a look here...

Hi Findus,
That's brilliant, thank you. My images have been changed and the only thing O2 now is the fascia which I can't do much about unfortunately.
I have also installed the Vodafone GPRS settings but none of them work for me, not even the straight forward dialup connection. Not sure why but the same error every time just says "No modem at this location" or something like that.
Many thanks anyway, I'm much happier now. I just need to find the correct iMate ROM. The only one I can see in the Wiki is the Asian one. Maybe I'm not looking hard enough.
Cheers, Bret

Relative newbie to this forum extrom Version editing
How can I edit my version numbers of the extrom now that I have it the way I want(sorta)?

One other other question, I have all the registry settings for my personalizations, how to I place those in the Extrom to be invoke after a hard reset. Do I create a cab file for this like the other programs or can I just exec REGEDIT4 personalized.reg? I also can not seem to find where the speed dial entries are stored.

Orange UK 3G/GPRS settings on mUn 2.01TE

I've installed mUn's 2.01TE ROM and my 3G/GPRS doesnt work at all, can't send MMS or browse the new over 3G or GPRS.
Can someone send me a cab with the Orange UK settings or tell me how to set it up? it's changed from WM5 to WM6 and I can't find a guide how to add the settings on the new version.
Thanks

Go to here as I am on Orange. These settings work fine.

Thanks guys, worked like a charm

Hi Nelkz,
After recently upgrading my SPV to WM5, I found I couldnt get my MMS working with the "normal" Orange settings any more.
Your fix, above, seems to do the trick (clever stuff!) but I was just wondering how you managed to determine the information?...
In any case, thanx for the CAB file!

WOW! Thanks Nelkz! you did a great job!

if people searched...they wouldn't have to ask the same ?
over and over again

VoiceMail Text Alert - Orange M700 (Trinity)

Hi
I have cooked the rom on my M700 to WM6 (mUn_2.01.TE_WWE_GPS)
When I get a text alert to inforom me I have a voicemail I infact get a little little trinagle with an @ sign after it.
Anyone got any Ideas? I found this problem was solved with sms_providers.dll in other HTC products but couldn't find anything for the M700.
Cheers

you need to use the sms_providers.dll file from WM5 and install the sdkcerts
search the forum there is a guide

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1212958&postcount=20
- remember to install sdk certs first.

Brilliant thanks people that's worked a treat.
