Can anybody advise on this?
i got a tytn 2 as i was really impressed with a colleagues one he got direct from HTC.
mine on the other hand is from Orange, and although still reasonably impressive, its not a patch on th HTC rom.
help would be most appreciated.
thanks
Dan
\windows\startup would prob contain
much of the startup stuff you dont want
otherwise you can try looking in the kaiser forum for other roms
thanks, installed the HTC ROM..... Sim is now locked, don't seem to be too many soloutions for unlocking Orange. have scoured these pages looking but alas it's not looking at all good. oops.

Hi all, I've been reading for ages on o2's xda iis or the blue angel and the probs all are having here in the uk but not once have I heard of or seen of anyone having this kind of trouble with the orange m2000. Are there any m2000 owners out there who would like to give some feedback on the issue and let us know if you too are swamped with problems. I personally would like this device to use, but really don't want to go out on a limb when the wind is already blowing. :mrgreen: As far as pda's and phones go, I'm not a whiz and certainly don't want to have to pay for something just to have to do a rom update, as well as take things off that shouldn't be there to start with...like the o2 rubbish I keep reading about. I'm thinking I'd be better off with a nokia 6630 or maybe the o2 xda ii i, but then, I have never been fond of nokias, and don't want to use a stylus all the time... the 2s would have been the answer (I think), or it is the only one that's really appealed to me in function and looks...so now I'm wondering what about an orange m2000, unlocked, using on o2...can you get manual settings to surf the net? any problems with the 2000?
I've got the M2000 and it has exactly the same problems as all the other Blue Angel's, it's just less popular (party cause Orange don't tell anyone they sell it).
I'm now waiting for Orange to send me a replacement because mine is fastly becoming unusable. It's fine most of the time (aside from the usual problems), but when it crashes, a soft reset doesn't work and I have to remove the SD and the SIM card for up to an hour before I get get it to work again.
I know other people with M2000's who don't have these problems so I've hopefully just got a dodgy phone.
Edited to add that while the M2000 doesn't look as pretty as the XDAIIs, Orange don't put on any of the O2 extra rubbish that O2 do which is good. And the phone can easily be unlocked so you can use it with anyone.
to be honest the only problems that i've ever had with my IIs were all down to the 02 active stuff. once i got rid of that and upgraded to the latest rom (think they all ship with this now anyway) it's been trouble free
I had and XDA IIs which I purchased only 2 weeks ago and it never worked properly. I never even got round to installing any useful software. Twice it hard reset itself while I was opening pictures to send as MMS’s. And I had to soft reset it at least once every day. I even removed the 02 active crap but it was still unstable. The other thing with the IIs is the screen. WHY CHANGE IT! My old one is great but the new one has an awful rancid look and you can’t see it at a slight angle, you have to look straight at it.
I’ve sent it back now and am going to try the IIi in the hope that the faster processor and bigger memory make the device more stable. I’m back to using my XDAII now which I have no trouble with at all, its just old and a bit broken.
m2000
Hi guys, thanks for the response...think I'm going to go with the nokia 6630 for the pic quality, real player, and 3g connection. Might check out the o2 xda ii i, but really wanted a keypad. However, I've got plenty of time to see if there are any bugs in both. have you guys checked out howardforums.com? there is lots of useful stuff on there too. Also, I'm wondering about the o2 magician or xda mini. they say o2 is not releasing them here but they are supposed to be pretty good. anyone know about those?
Well I have both ( and all other versions of XDA's as well.. as we have lots).
I personally prefer the Orange m2000, as we got a free memory card and none of that god awful O2 active built into the rom. Seriously.. that O2 active is such a negative thing to my users. (wake up O2 - the XDA2s / M2000 is geared towards business users with their own apps. they seriously do not need or want a damned instant install popup spam menu.
XDA 4 / M5000 / HTC Universal wont be availble till end September.. So its a case of waiting.. (mines on preorder )
The O2 Active stuff is V.V.Easy to remove so I wouldn't worry about that to much and just go for the device you like the look of the most and can get the best price on
just bought an orange spv c500 and im well impressed.. a little hard to operate at first because of the buttons.. been used to touch screen for so long ive forgoten what buttons are for but it does everything my XDAII can in a smaller package. still trying to sort out the gprs settings because its an oarange phone but apart from that..... o2 canstick the XDAIIs where the sun dont shine. :wink:
btw does anyone know the o2 gprs settings for and orange spv c500?
c500
Hey, why didn't you send me a pm? You're not gonna believe this. Was on ebay the other night and got a c500 myself. Figured why not give it a shot as I'm familiar with the spv, and also know a lot about the e200, but know nothing about the c500. A guy I work with has 2 e200's, 1 has a switchboard problem and the other, is working on a switchboard problem. I figured out the settings for the spv as well as the spv e200.. Have you ever heard of Modaco.com? go there... look for gprs settings repository or something like that. Loads of settings are there...but the catch is, you have to mess around with them and tweak them to make them work, but it can be done. took me 3 weeks one time of thinking, and pulling my hair out...but eventually was accomplished. This guy that has 2, one is on orange and the other is on o2. The c500 might be different, but if you are willing to work on it with me...so am I. I'll have to send the phone to HTC first to get it fixed as it has a cracked screen (lcd) and outer, but apart from that it's perfect. This is strange...but cool. I think....
HI
I am awaiting delivery of my diamond from orange, i was woundering if the orange version is any different to the standard version, and if it is can i flash the rom so it goes back to the standard htc version because i think orange changes the phones to much
Currently its a stock ROM from what I can tell. No GUI customisation at all.
Orange Diamond
I got the orange diamond on the 10th July and I does not have any orange customization at all its still the black and white HTC look.
Would be interesting to see what yours has
Iam in the UK
it would also be good to know what version on Radio Rom you have as I am in takes with orange to get me Radio v1.00.25.05 which is supposed to make the battery last longer
If any one out there is having the same problem they MUST call orange and get to talk to handset faults in Plymouth as so fat they have only had mine and another user call with the problem and it thats all they get they will be slow in getting the update available.
HTC will not give me the Hotfix but have confirmed it exists but I have to get it from orange who say they do not have it
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE any orange Diamond users call orange about the problem.

hi, mate can you do me a favour. can you post the oroginal rom. I have been searching whole forum but could not find any.
@ lenaddison - PM sent.
I have radio version prior to the one you mention too... battery lasts around 5 ish hours with moderate use. 2 Days old Diamond.
Tried to register it on the HTC site but will not allow it... so cannot get an update that way.
Great device apart from a few things that HTC should sort with newer software - which I believe is available but not in the Uk

Does anyone know if this is still the case and that Orange branded Diamonds come with standard HTC software??
I've got a Diamond coming this week and I'm not keen on the Orange branding i've seen online, and all this ROM flashing business seems way over my head!
So to sum up, will the Diamond I receive from Orange UK have the normal HTC black and white look, or the Orange branded software?
Thanks!
I think you will have the orange cooked rom...
I received mine at 16/07 and it come with all orange things (even the box is customized !)

Damn. How hard is it to get the original black and white HTC ROM onto the device? And what are the risks, i.e. how easy to permanently bugger it up is it!!
It's hard to understand what and how to do, but it seem a easy procedure...
It seem because I don't did it myself, I still reading topics on that forum, there are a LOT of informations, it take time to read everything
One thing to start : you can flash the rom of your device, and you have the choice between the original HTC rom (the stock rom) and customized versions of this stock rom (there are a lot on this forum)
The risks ? brick your phone
(or maybe yours will be orange free and you'll dont need all of this )
I'm on the Uk Orange network and my Diamond didn't have any orange branding on the software. It has a small Orange logo on the back of the handset, it also came with a nice leather slip case. The box t came in was the normal Orange affair with the 2 for 1 cinema tickets adverts etc.
Incedently i've painlessly flashed the TLR 3 ROM following the easy to follow instructions on the start of the thread for the ROM.
I've not massivley noticed any difference. It's is slightly faster and the few tweaks within the ROM make the phone more user friendly. Dont expect miracles from an extended battery life due to an updated radio. Again I cant notice any difference.
Is anyone else of the opinion that the music player within TF3D is completely useless? Mine only seems to play the first 30 seconds of a song and I cant 'flick' through my albums.
That aside, I am very impressed with the phone and actually think its much better than my brothers 3g iPhone. Largely due to the efforts of the talented programers that contribute on this site - Thanks guys

hi all i'm new here, i bought a spv m3100 off ebay a couple of weeks ago had a couple of problems with it but i sorted that out since then i decided to do a rom upgrade off the orange website, since then the phone has'nt worked right at all e.g the screen keeps going white and the buttons on the font don't work all the time i was thinking about getting it put back to the aku2 rom (i think it is), but looking at this forum alot of people have upgraded to wm6, how hard is it and what do i need to download to get it, you probably been asked 100 times about it so i apologise, the spv is on locked to orange still, any help would be grateful. regards simon

Evening Guys,
Got a slight problem, at some point today my phone's screen has gone a little, erm, wrong
In the perfect centre of the screen a a block has appeared measuing 2 Inch High by 1 Inch Wide, and has a oil on water effect, that section of the screen is still touch sensitive but I wonder if something has broken, the screen image is displayed OK underneath which made me wonder what has actually gone wrong ?
Any explanations ?
Also, If this is bad and I claim on my mobile insurance, I am obviously going to flash the latest official ROM to it, but I also need to return the SPL to a stock one obviously, can someone give me a link to the one I should put on, I currently have on HardSPL SPL-1.93.OliNex.
Much appreciated, this is bizzare, any help or advice would be helpful.
Many thanks.
This is an issue a few people have and some managed to get it repaired under warranty see 4WINMOBILE, HTCWIKI and HERE.
As for returning to stock ROM and SPL there is also a post (or two) on that subject. (HERE)
If you need any help returning to stock, I will offer my assistance to you.
That would be appreciated mate, if you could point me at the correct official SPL I should flash to my device that would be great.
I don't know what the vodaphone version came with but I would use 1.37 and the latest UK WWE official ROM and send it back to HTC (UK) which are based in Milton Keynes.
As long as you remove the customisation then all should be OK.
EDIT: did you see my first post for a link to the SPL info posted by cmonex
Yeah, it's a O2 device anyway, but I have a vodafone contract, purchased the device a few months ago on Ebay, got vodafone to add to my mobile insurance the day it arrived.
Been fine for months and most of today, and then that happened. Damn my luck.
Have you a link to the 1.37 Official SPL ? Or whicever the O2 one is.
EDIT: Opps, thanks for that, got what I need, I'll be ringing Vodafone in the morning to sort out the return.
Hi guys
I've had an o2 Ignito for the last year and its given me no trouble whatsoever.
I've tried various roms for it, all with no problems.
All of a sudden, I'm getting no signal at all. o2 confirm the phone has not been blacklisted or anything and my sim card works ok in other phones.
Any ideas?
o2 have said send it back and we'll repair it... I've got a cooked rom on there of course.
I've got a o2 stock rom called: Xda Ignit2_UK_2.10.206.1_Radio_Signed_Diamond_52.62.25.34_1.13.25.24_Ship.exe Would that be enough to get past they're security checks? Do I need to remove HardSPL 1st? I've searched the site and I can't get my head round doing it.
Thanks in advance to anyone that could help
I'm using: [WWE] Windows Revolution Manila 2.1 Edition 1.1A (23017)

Reverting to stock SPL is always the last step.....be sure tot restore stock ROM and radio first.
good luck!
Great stuff mate, thanks for that link. Don't know how I missed that.
It may be, that sticking a new rom on there might fix it. I'll let you know
glad i could help out, this one is even more clear:

The stockROM you mention has a radio in it (it's the last part of the description) so when you put this on it you're good to go.
He..everybody in here is/was a noob at some point, so no worries
Worked a treat, o2 were arses getting the phone back to me, but they did
In the end it was the main board that went so that's been replaced. So new EMEI number :|
Is there an easy/cheap/FREE way of unlocking it? I'm thinking of selling it because I've lost the heart with it somewhat.
Thanks again for the invaluable help, gotta love these forums
your most welcome, but can't help you out with the unlock thingy....never had a locked phone
O2 uk dont lock their phones! i have an ignito! they are not sim locked

Sell it, or get an upgrade.. Or just unlock it again. All three are just about as easy as each other. I stumbled upon a complete noob guide to flashing the other day. I think once you have a custom SPL on there you're good to do pretty much anything.
