Hi guys, i'm fairly new with my o2 XDA exec and was wondering......
1. My device is an o2 XDA exec which comes unlocked, if i change my rom to the latest orange rom will it remain unlocked?
2, I have backed up my XDA to my memory card using SPB Backup, if i run this exe. file from the memory card, will it just reinstall all my apps/configurations to the orange rom?
3, Can anyone tell me where to find the latest orange uk rom which ships on their device, the M5000, and do you think its better than the o2 rom?
Thanks for any advice given
1.yes it will still be unlocked. I've installed the latest imate rom on my exec since it came out and I highly recommend it. I use an Orange pay monthly simcard and have configured gprs and mms on my exec without problems.
2. yes it should do but I would recommend that u backup the pim.vol whic ch contains all your user data like contacts etc then re-install your applcations.
3. definatley recommend the latest imate rom personally but others may suggest the orange.
HTH
Thanks bukwit for your quick reply. These questions may make me sound really dumb but here goes....
1, How do i backup the pim.vol, and what does this do?
2, Which operator is the imate rom for, and where could i find it?
..no problem...
1. Use file explorer to navigate to the root directory of your exec. There u will see the pim.vol file which u can literally copy to an sd card or if your connected to activsync then u can copy this file to your pc by clicking on the explore button on the activsync window itself. This file contains all your contact/calendar information as far as I know. Always worth backing it up unless u synchronise with MS Outlook.
2. The latest imate rom is officially for the imate jasjar which is unlocked to all networks therefore there is NO specific operator that this rom is designed for. I've been using this since it came out with my Orange configurations for MMS and GPRS etc.
The rom is on the ftp site in this directory
ftp://ftp.xda-developers.com/Universal/Shipped_Complete_Updates/
it should be called JASJAR_WWE_13076_164_10900_wwe_ship.exe
I would recommend u first look around the Universal forums and read what people are saying before u jump into it. Its always good to know what to expect when doing something like this.

Hi all
I dont like the default O2 install (think its a little slow / big)
I perfer todo a hard retset and press the reset button when it gives me the customising screen
Im just wondering is there a way to have the screen rotate icon on all the time ? (as default it only shows on screen if you click o2 active menu)
also is there a way to rip / download the o2 gprs settings ? I have tryed to manually set this up a few times but had problems someone said theres a way to install the settings from within the rom (without installing all the o2 stuff)
I have searched and not found much
a nudge in the right direction would be apriciated
Thanks
there is a CAB from the O2 ext rom that I've seen posted in the forum.. I decided not to use an ext rom and formated it and left it blank.. find its just as easy to install the software you want then run xBackup and have your backup ready to restore in case you have a hard reset.. keeps your install clean and fast
I have the o2 Orbit and a Vodafone contract SIM. I lost power the other day and had to input all my Vodafone settings manually. Is it possible to develop a cab file that will do all this for the phone? The cab file could be stored on an SD card. If power is ever lost or a hard reset is required in the future it would then only take a quick fix to update the phone.
I found all the settings at this address (if it helps?)

This cab would be appreciated by many Vodafone users!!

Thanks kalpeshmist, I was looking this for long time. my phone bricked when I was flashing had to use a Russian ROM to recover the phone and then tried a manila cooked rom with touch flo interface by pda.net(this is also good but slow ). But yours wm6.5 cooked ROM is very good. only problem I had was that opera browser was not working it got stuck when starting for first time even installed opera once again but still not working.
Could you also share as to what all tools you used to cook the ROM and where you got wm6.5?

some how I was not able to flash using the official utility and ROM wm6.1 it always gets stuck. I find that SD card way of updating the ROM to be the best. only problem might be that SD card has to be small and formatted correctly!

sd card installation is very good and its the fastest way of flashing a rom in p527.. within a minute, the flashing's complete...
i flashed many a times with sd installation when i was testing 21189.. but then, my card reader didnt just locked the sd card.. i changed the micro sd adapter and then it starting working fine.. but again, the card was locked..... it was running fine in my p527.. the mass storage option is working fine.. but whenever i put a card reader for copying using the same adapters.. the card is locked and i cant edit...
so, i recommend to use usb installation if u r flashing it many times..!!
