Hi, lastnight i upgraded my radio from .03 to .09 and it worked perfectly, as normal i had to make sure the phone was in bootloader mode to make t work, i got the files from this sites FTP server, XDA-Developers site is all you need!
Thank you to everybody that gives there views and advice freely!
P.S i got Pocket plus to install after i did another hard reset, phewwww
Don't want to sound stupid but ...
.. is upgrading your ROM an easy thing to do for a non teckie ?
Do you need to hard reset etc etc. ?
Is there a guide out there ?
Don't wanna take the plunge and mess things up. I've got loads of software and tweaks on my SPVM5000 - will Sprite Back up re-install with a new ROM. I'm also on 1.13.49 same as jab1a.
Hello All,
If i replace my xda exec rom to orange rom, it will be locked?
Another question, where can i get the radio rom 1.09 to flash the orange rom?
Thank you,
racerx
Hi Rick GM,
the ROM upgrade is pritty easy and the Radio update is aswell, everything you need to know or might not need to know about the update is in the WiKi and forum. its real easy.
As for backups, im not sure how this works but for good measure before i did the upgrade i did a FULL backup, then i did a non-rom backup (i.e i just backed-up the things i had installed on the m5000) then i did a PIM and message backup (note: i only ever have problems with a restore when i decide to restore the messages databases so unless you realy need to i would only backup the PIM(contacts) database). I think if you tryed to do a full backup and then do the upgrade and then restore the full backup you might run into a few errors or incompatability. it only takes about 30mins to do the update and about another 20mins to re-install all your software and then the rest of your life to get all the setting you want just right! lol
I am sure you will do fine, after all this is the best site in the world for PPC so im sure someone here would be able to help you if it all goes pear shaped
Moved thread from news section
Thanks for that jab 1a
I haven't taken the plunge yet but it's coming !
I think your 20 minutes to re-instal software is a bit optimistic even if all goes well. I reckon it will take me an hour plus to sort out all the cr*p that I've got on my device. (I keep a copy of everything but some's on my home PC and some at work).
I'll update you when I finally pluck up courage / find the time.
BTW - I'm only going to do it because you can. Isn't that what these devices are all about ?

Well I upgraded with the ROM from the Orange site (1.30.90) - no problem. That's good news.
Sprite Backup V5.1 is newly released this week and boasts cross ROM/Device backup capability after capturing your old ROM in .sbu file immediately after hard reset and prior to ROM upgrade.
It hasn't worked - it won't recognise my .sbu file (Invalid Upgrade File) or words to that effect so it looks like a slog to put everything back on (unless Sprite can restore (no pun intended) my faith in them and come up with an answer. Might have a go at the Radio Rom next.
I have the new ROM from Qtek into my Universal. Is it worth the upgrade to this new Orange ROM?
best regards,
Deiota

Sprite really screwed up here.
When they released 5.1, they re-introduced their killer rom upgrade proof restore feature. It even works for the new self-extracting restores. How cool is that?
Now, today, I had to have my SPV M5000 replaced (same model) because of a screen problem, and knew the replacement would be AKU2, so I purchased Sprite 5.1 to back up with. I looked around all the different pages I could find showing how to use Device Upgrade Mode. All had links to the same GetUpgradeData.exe. So, even though I had that nagging developers' intuition that this must be wrong, I assumed it was the right version. I only had twelve hours to puchase, get the file down, and do all the backup stuff.
Then I exchanged devices with the courier. (Orange care is great (mostly!)). However, when I tried to restore, what a surprise: "Invalid Upgrade File". Checked back on Sprite Site - ONE page out of the five or six links to GetUpgradeData2005.exe. Howl !!!! :x
Can someone please post an UpgradeData.sbu, from a clean vanilla Pre-AKU2 M5000, dumped with the new GetUpgradeData2005.exe, otherwise someone at Sprite is just gonna have to die. Lots.
Many, Many thank yous in advance!
Update: Sprite have kindly offerred to provide an sbu for 1.13.53 WWE.
Unfortunately, as best as I can remember, mine Rom was 1.13.49 WWE.
Can anyone please tell me of an identifying characterstic by which I dould have distinguished the two versions (bearing in mind - I don't have the device any more), or even better an upgrade file (sbu) for 1.13.49 WWE?
Mutant
I too used the GetUpgradeData.exe as advised by Sprite. After registering my problem they advised me to use the GetUpgradeData2005.exe and sent me a copy. Unfortunately I'd already upgraded the ROM so didn't have the .sbu pre upgrade. I've since got a clean 1.13.49 from a colleagues Orange SPV M5000 but the backup still didn't work. Sprite recognised the .sbu but just messed up the device (after partially restoring) requiring several hard resets. If you want the .sbu, I think I've got it stored somewhere. Let me know.

v1.30.162, with AKU 2 and Radio 1.09.00 , has anyone given it a try yet?
Cheers
Rich
yeh i have, i have to say so far im pretty impressed, it seems alot more stable, and the new coms manager, looks alot prettier...
overall, i recommend the update from O2, no problems installing it, and SPB Backup worked a treat...
At last !!
Anyone have a direct link to the download ?

Does SPB backup let you restore your data after a rom upgrade? I'm using Sprite Backup and it doesn't support this yet.
I tried it as well and I have to say I am VERY DISAPPOINTED with it. There is NO A2DP support. It uses 2MB more than QTEK's ROM with AKU2 and A2DP, that is without installing the Ext ROM and with QTEK's Ext ROM installed. The 2MB difference alone turned me away from it. I saw no diffence in signal strenght when using O2 or QTEK's. Stability wise, I have not encountered a system freeze with QTEK's in the 2 weeks I tried it, and I am a "NUT" when it comes to the system freezing on me.
For the least, this O2 update is only comparable to the latest IMate update with only AKU2 being supported. I can see why somoene who have not tried the QTEK ROM can say this is a more stable ROM than the old O2 ROM because it is, but definitely it can not surpass the functionality and stability given by the QTEK ROM. So I switched back to QTEK's, I did not bother to find out if it is stable or not since I don't have any problems with the QTEK ROM.
this is true, i havent tried the QTek Rom, as i dont wanna void my warranty...
but i am slightly tempted to say the least!! one thing that has pissed me off is the Video button, within the Phone App, is still take, and unbubble like like the others (corporate mode)
i have a t mobile mda pro, im sooooooo confused as to what rom to try?
My current details are
Radio 1.06.00
Rom 1.20.32
Ext Rom 1.20.120
Obviously i dont want to mess it up, from reading around it seems the imate is favoured by most?
is there really much to gain from these upgrades?
So can an anyone recommend a better rom?

But does sunny soft support restoring after a different ROM upgrade? That is the most important thing aside from just backing up and restoring as any backup software can do that.
Sunnysoft - like others - can backup all information excluding ROM-files.
So, yes, you can restore all your datas, but I wouldn't advice, because with your old registry, and old settings, files it would be unstable. But it works.
It has to be the Qtek rom for me, I have just ordered a nokia HS-12w (sweet headset) so I will let you guys know how it goes when I get it !!!
Qtec Rom
Does anyone know where I can see pics of the today screen for the Qtec Rom or would anyone be kind enough to put some up.
Thanks
If I don't need push e-mail and I've got radio version 1.06.00 and I like the battery icon the way it is, is there any point in upgrading to the latest O2 ROM?
Any thoughts and advice gratefully appreciated.
XDA update
I have 2 XDA Execs, one for testing / backup & one for real use.
I have updated to the latest O2 firmware on the real use one & it is much better than before. Works faster, not crashed & seems to be better designed.
Today I have downloaded & installed the Jasjar, Qtek & just doing the standard Universal (great instructions here .....
(http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Instructions for those with Country Code error)
upgrade. I can't see any difference in the image sizes on the PC, I am not techy enough to see major differences on the XDA.
I use it for most things but don't care about Bluetooth headphones (really, get a proper device, iPod). :twisted:
If you aren't techy & have an XDA stick with the O2 software - it loads easily and works much better. I will be evaluating the other software but from first glance I can't see too much to get excited about in the other versions, & not enough to have wasted as much time as I have already done !
If you set a password, the open up, you cannot change the lock out time if you aren't actually using it. ie, running tomtom on car charge, keeps timing out. - stupid!!!
Hey Guys,
I don't know if any of you gurus would find a moment to help me out... But I got an spv m5000 (orange's Universal) but just the phone and a usb cable. No software, earpiece etc. NOW, I'd like to put on the qtek9000 pocketpc software, is this available for free? Is this what you guys call a ROM? Basically, I wanna know if its safe to delete its present OS and try and install the qtek one... AND how do you do it...? Thanks a bunch! Lastly, is there a free voice recorder app?? Orange's doesn't come with one... so does the qtek come with one?
THANKS A BUNCH,
N. Madden
I think you shoud read this first, because it's a lot to explain:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Universal
welcome among us!
Hey the link has been great, but I'm still confused as to if its safe to try and flash the qtek rom.... not having any backup software...?
you may try to back-up your contacts and appointments to pc with activesync and then reinstall the rom and start from the scratch with new software or you may try a back-up software like sprite back-up or spb back-up...
I have updated my ROM many times without problems, but I have read most of the topics about it before doing that operation for the first time.
I'll suggest to try Helmi's or Indra's AKU 3.3 ROM with radio 1.13.00 or 1.14.10
Cheers!
im new to this forum and i realy want to upgrade my hermes to wm6.1 ...
so what i need are the guiding steps to do that and a recommended rom that is light caz i i use tomtom and some other heavy softwares
plz help
im currently running the official wm6 from imate
my las question is ...are the imaginet arabizer work for arabizing my pda after the upgrade
The best way to do what you want is to read. There is lot of stickies with zillion different information. Read as much as you can and start flashing.
Just remember though that you will have to re-install all your apps as they will be wiped with the os. Its like doing a hard reset.
You can move most of your apps over to the memory card though so as not to loose them but you may be required to input a key again to register them.
Make sure you backup ALL your contacts too or you WILL loose them.
And Please, for the sake of your Hermes , Hard SPL your Hermes.........
Cheers...
My Dash has been running WM6.1 080408 Final For Excalibur WWE with English - By Kavana without any issues for months. Then rather spontaneously I was unable to access some of the settings and would get a message saying the settings couldn't be opened. So I re-installed the ROM. It fixed the settings access, but only for a couple of days and it went back to not being able to access the settings. I searched the forum and found one thread that recommended deleting a registry folder, which I did without luck. Any ideas? I am presuming that this is a software issue rather than a hardware issue.
Thanks in advance.
Why don't you try switching to another ROM? Mabye this one; |ROM||WWE|| ** EnergyROM Series 1.0 21040 - HTC Snap based ROM ** || Build 50909 |
Thanks Bigmannyjr, but that ROM looks like it is still owrking out the bugs. I need something that is solid now.
you wouldnt by chabne be doing a restore using sprite backup would you? sprite backup while being a good restore program, has done things like this to me too after i switched to WM 6.1.
On a side note.... BOOMER!
sorry for the plug.
Actually was using Sprite, but did not re-install after the second ROM update so I don't think we can consider it related to Sprite.
SOONER!!
