I'm trying to upgrade my o2 XDA II to an M1000 ROM because I want to se eif it's any better than the O2 one,
Does anyone know where I can get it from? I've searched the forum for hours and have only managed to find a few zip files with the contents of the extended ROM in them.
The differences between operators is what is supplied in the Extended ROM. For example, version 1.72 of the OS is the same on all devices as is version 1.17 of Radio - Unless, of course they are in a different language.
The Extended ROM allows operators to add their own customizations, additional applications and, in some cases, their own fixes.
Hello again,
Hello there, I was under the impression that in the O2 ROM, changes have been made to some of the operating system dll files that control handsfree.
I have a problem getting mp3 audio out of the device when it is in car kit mode and from research on the site, i-Mate and Orange phone owners don't have this problem.
One suggestion was that the handsfree dll had been changed and so I was trying to get a copy of the Orange (UK) Rom as packaged by Orange. (I assume that they do an upgrade file in a similar way to O2.)
I have a copy of the custom 1.72 Orange ROM that ninjadonkey created. It's been pre configured to Orange UK, and its unofficial as Orange are useless at providing decent upgrades! It will be exactly the same as the new O2 upgrade without all the cool extra software (Fonix etc...) that you get from o2 so you're probably best off with what you've got mate!
Ok,
I notice that you have Tom Tom on your device, does that mean you have an in-car kit with it?
If so, can you hear Tom Tom messages through the Kit or does the device insist on playing through device speaker only?
Also, can anyone advise me on how to customise the Windows install in ROM so that the folders are set up as I like them (As with the XDA-Developers SER).
Cheers again.
No, unfortunately TomTom only comes through the device speaker.
grrrrrr! Bloody fiddlers developing in problems!

Can a copy of the custom 1.72 Orange ROM be downloaded from anywhere?
Perhaps it will help with some of the problems I am having with my M1000.
Thanks.
Here you go...
Enjoy at your own risk - works great for me though. This is an unofficial ROM customised for Orange UK by ninjadonkey. You will have issues with country code errors if you choose to upgrade again unless you follow the instructions in dcs's post on country code errors.

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

I've read through the WWE thread and still haven't managed to find people's experiences with this ROM and their UK Orbit's.
Can people please post any issues, and more importantly if I'll brick my Orbit (as from the shop so unsure whether CID locked / unlocked) if I follow the steps in the original thread?
Thanks.
I had no luck. I'm waiting for WM6 ROM from O2 UK to get the phone working again as I can still access the bootloader.
Same for me. Followed all the steps, but still my phone bricked. Mine was CID locked, but because there were several succesful upgrades on CID locked devices I also tried it. I'm also still able to enter bootlloader, so just have to wait for retail WM6 ( have no RUU signed update to restore my device )
I moved from a Orbit with a HTC P3300 Rom (CID Unlocked) to a WM6 Bebe Rom at the first attempt.
It's so much quicker than the WM5 Rom. It's a lot more stable.
If you want me to post the steps and a Apps I've tested I'll do so tomorrow.
I couldn't get Bepe's to load with the boot loader, but the next part with the windows.nb file worked..........
Sort of, I think the bluetooth is not working properly as I can't create a port to allow me to sync with my pc. Apart from that it is working fine. (Touch wood)
doesn't seem worth the risk...
sounds to me like it isn't worth trying at the moment then! shame cause i want to get wm6 running but would rather not have a bricked device ... and the odds look high!
come on o2... where's our official rom?
I've just upgraded my O2 Orbit and it worked fine. CID unlocked it with IMEI-Check and then followed Bepe's instructions.
mmmm... fair enough but i just don't wanna shell out $20 to get a cracked rom...
If I am not mistaken is it not £20 as opposed to dollars I would pay a tenner but like you I will wait for £20
Does anyone know if HTC will require an actual P3300 IMEI in order to download the WM6 update when and if they release it?

probably, they will require you to give this to prove you have a HTC branded device. TBH they shoudl provide a ROMforAll no matter what provider you have you should be able to upgrade to a clean manufacture rom.
for those who have O2-Orbit UK and can access only bootloader, did U try to flash german WM6? just run file downloaded from german o2 (without any hexedits etc. just run xdaorbit-windows-update.exe). I think it should work, because CID lock is not to lang version, but for operator (02_01) and both UK and DE Orbit are ARTE2000. Worth a try. If it works let it boot to calibration screen plug usb cable and reflash using bepe's ROM. Let us know. I'm not sure if it'll work, I'm CIDunlocked.

Do you think the same would apply if you Hex edited ARTE10000 to ARTE2000? Sily question, I know, but is that the only level of security that actually looks for model ID?
in o2 ger image its already ARTE***** so u dont need to change anything (it means it shoul work for arte100,110,1000,200 models maybe 300 as well - htc love) But this is looking only for ModelID, in ROmUpdate Util it checks somehow for ModelVendor/Operator - addr:x0003BA6C - password BsaD5SeoA
I also "BRICKED" my Orbit. I am also the impatient type. Why wait for O2 to release a ROM image? I have spoken with O2 directly. My friend even works for their technical division. As far as I have been able to find out, from friends and his friends at O2, there is NO O2-UK WM6 in the pipeline at the moment. Not enough users apparently. When I found out this I put my Orbit into O2 shop for repair. It was flashed under warranty as a software fault. I have since CID-unlocked it and flashed to WM6.
Absolutely amazing. WM5 to WM6 is night and day. So much faster and a lot nicer looking too.

My experience: O2 Orbit bought in CZ. My way was: CID unlock -> try-and-brick (...) -> German original O2 WM6 ROM (with bootloader) -> Arte WM6 from bepe.
I am very happy now (extremly stable!) and at this moment I do not plan even upgrade to a new ROM.
Btw solved the issue with localization (keyboard only - Resco works perfectly) and external keyboard support for my beloved iGo Sierra bluetooth keyboard: AE Keyboard mapping SW solved my needs
MY experiences
Being a corporate O2 customer, when I bricked my Orbit they sent me a new one and said I could do what I wanted with the old one.. it's still a brick, having tried every suggestion on this forum!!!
MY new one, however, is running Bepe's WM6, having run the USPL first.
I tried Black&Blue, but found it drained the battery too quickly, and I reall ydon't need all the extras it comes with. I've got Bepe's WM6 running brillianlty - all I add is a cracked version of TomTom 6.02, which runs perfectly, BatteryStatus purely for a power display, no overclocking needed, and TodayAgenda for improved calendar on Today.
I use push mail to connect to my office exchange server, and have all my personal mail ending up at fastmail.net, where I connect to using IMAP - deleting from the phone deletes properly on the IMAP server now, unlike on WM5, so you really can have a synchronised mailbox usin IMAP and a free account at Fastmail.net...
I also have JetwareMobile installed to enable me to use my Siemens HKW600 Car kit (£40 on ebay, superb!), and I have some Sony DR-BT30Q bluetooth headphones which work perfectly...
I have a CID LOCKED UK o2 Orbit. I ran the USPL program by Prof and then Bepe's WWE ROM.
worked fine and WM6 is great!

Yes, but that doesn't work if you've already bricked your Orbit
Does anyone happen to have a WM5 ROM to restore to if the WM6 goes horribly tits up - I'm not overly looking forward to the idea of not having the pride of the mobile fleet working... the humiliation!
Anyone know where (site) the final original o2 WWE WM6 will be released? I want to keep a (daily) eye on it.
and in case anyone wants to save me an hour or so: are the various cooked artemis roms flashable (without more unlocking) to an o2 orbit that is at least sim-unlocked (using it on another carrier in Canada)? Don't need to know how, just _if_ there are instructions somewhere showing that it is possible to use these cooked roms without first paying for an unlocking service.
Cheers,
D

http://www.my-xda.com/alreadyHaveOrbit.html is the page where the update should go (www.my-xda.com).
On your other point, a very few claim to have had success with CID locked phones but at least as many have bricked them - and as there is no original ROM available to revert to for the O2 Orbit it probably isn't worth the risk.
I CID-unlocked mine within 5 minutes via imei-check. £20 isn't a massive amount and they take PayPal...
thanks for the advice, I'll either unlock as you described or just wait for the real thing from o2. Thanks for the website too.

Hi everyone,
I'm looking for someone who already managed to upgrade a german T-Mobile MDA compact III to WM6. Has anyone experiences with this? It's my business phone and I don't want to break it.
1. Is there any chance to reflash the old WM5 ROM if something goes wrong?
2. How can I save the old ROM!?
3. Do I need to setup any regional settings if I use the O2 ROM for example?
Thanks for all answers!

You shurely can use the O2 ROM. Regional settings? You can change the regional settings in the ROM, but you don´t neet to if you use the german version of the O2 ROM.
There is a way to make a backup of your curent ROM to a storagecard. Use the search..
You should make a backup of your pim (contacts, tasks, calendar etc.) with PPCPimBackup because you can restor them with thiis program, but not with SPB Backup..
Is your phone sim- or netlocked? Normally the german tmob devices are..
IMPORTANT: You can update - but before you flash your rom with any new os (like the O2) do the "uspl" (CID Unlock) first!
Look here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=308242
I have updated mine. Everything works fine, but the menues are in English.
The phone must be CID unlocked then you can flash any ROM you like. You can also find a CAB for T9 input in German.
Ciao
Thanks a lot guys for all the information. I'll report later if it worked...
Success
Thanks for all your information!
Everything worked fine.
At first I tried to make an backup, but I was not really successful, see here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=312871&page=5
But it didn't matter because I found a german wm5 rom for t-mobile:
XDA-DEV FTP -> "Uploads/Upload/Official MDA Compact III ROM/MDA Compact III German.exe"
So here is a conclusion for all noobs, like me:
1. Run USPL, get it here and read all the stuff: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=311403
2. Patch any ROM you like, for example one of those: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=362 or get one on the xda-dev ftp
I tried three or four of the ROMs from the forum, it was possible to flash them all, but I had to try it twice to "remove" the german O2 ROM (flash another ROM over the O2), but maybe I did something wrong in the first place.
What I would finally like is a T-Mobile branded german WM6 ROM. If anyone could give me some tipps where to start, I would appreciate it. I think it should be possible to extract the german O2 WM6 OS and somehow mix it with the T-Mobile stuff from the WM5 ROM. I know there is a lot information here on the forum, but any hint is nevertheless very appreciated
