Hello, I'm new so please be patient.
I have been surfing the net for a clear concise guide to flashing the rom of my spv M5000. I want to get rid of the orange branding. I have found lots of stuff and downloaded lots of files. But, I am confused as to what files are what and what I need to do. I don't want to turn it into a paperweight.
Many thanks in advance
I have done it, flashed thr rom and have unlocked it !!
One more question, I can not find the gprs settings for orange. I have had a play around got it to connect but could not connect to orangeworld.
I have tried orange setup and had settings sent to me several times but never received them.
Can any one help with this please
Many thanks

The only gprs setting you need is the APN, which is "orangeinternet" (without quote marks), no username or password. Mike
try this cab may be this one can help you

hi,
as has been told, just set your GPRS setting manually. Go to Settings-Connections-Connections-Add a new modem connection.
Or you can just flash a new orange Rom that can be downloaded from http://buzzdev.net/component/option,com_remository/Itemid,100/func,select/id,44/orderby,2/page,3/, where your settings will all be presetted.
As for removing Orange branding which i presume means the splash screen just visit http://buzzdev.net/content/view/68/1/ and http://buzzdev.net/content/view/69/1/.
cheers
Many thanks for your help its been great. I have flashed the rom with latest orange rom and found a way to take all the orange off , just the bootsplash to do. I have saved the link you gave me and will have a go tomorrow (hopefully if I have time)

Hi,
Just wondered if you could help me. I'm getting an SPV M5000 on wednesday and would like to remove the branding. Could you tell me what you did? I have read up on the net a lot but do not feel confident in flashing the rom. (I will be using an iBook, but can use a PC at work if I have to - beleive it or not I am IT suppport )
Thanks for any help

One quick point I think I should point out is the physical debranding of the phone. My friend read on the internet that he could take off the Orange logo with a sugar cube. I looked it up and found it to be true so he tried it out.
SO we went to the grocery store to get some sugar cubes, and he tried it out....
LOL
There was a different colour behind the logo and he screwed it up bad.
Make sure you dont try this at home.

If it's only branding that needs to be removed just use the link given above and read thru' it carefully. There's no Rom flashing required just a few small changes done to some files.

Hi all new? here got an o2 orbit need advice?
Im just wondering what i could and should do to improve it, its currently runnin on wm5 i have the official file to update to wm6 but dont want to lock out my orange sim card ?
any advice ?
Hi can i install these special roms on this site without messing up the usual features on my phone . Pleases help?
Yes you can. Make sure you unlock the CID first: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=308242
Cheers m8 so which rom is recommended at the moment and i wont mess up my phone will i as im unlocked o2 at the moment. Also can i backup my rom im using now simply?? thx again
I have the same phone on o2, (I didn't know Orange done this phone ?) anyway, I would reccomend this ROM, its what im using.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=342298
It is based on Windows mobile 6, and has all extra toys to play with.
Read the post, see if you like it (its best one IMO)
Download it, do step one first (This is CID unlocking), then step two (flash the device).
I think you can backup your device now but it depends on what you want to backup.
If you mean backup your contacts, SMS messages, photos ect then sure you can. Copy them with activesync or search google, there are many programs out there.
If you mean backup your device entirely (As in ROM) im pretty sure you can but its not needed. You will find on this site both the offical ROM that your phone came with WM5 so you can go back to that, or the offical ROm for WM6 so you can go back to that.
All custome ROMS are SIM unlocked so you will be able to use your orange sim card.
Hope this helped.
any one got a stock orange uk htc desire rom?? im returning mine tommorrow and i need it asap!
I am looking for the Orange ROM as well.
Whats the reason for returning it? There is a French-based ROM floating about, not sure if that will do the trick...
Stock Orange ROM has never seen the light of day, it's the risk you take debranding your phone
It's a shame, in a way, that no-one did a dump of the system & data partitions from an Orange-branded phone prior to flashing
Well there are 2 options, wait for the official 2.2 ruu to turn up.
or ask someone prior to rooting orange UK phones to take a dump (you will have to talk them through it.)

I am running stock OrangeUK, I made a dump of the system but I didn't know what to do from there. If anyone can help me through I would only be too happy to give it a go!
Can you also dump boot and data please??
Then, if you know how to use FTP, I can give you access to my server to upload them to if you wish and I can host/get a flashable ROM done for those wishing to re-brand
Yeah, you will have to bare with me sorry, have formatted since I got the system folder. Also yes i know how to upload to ftps, will let you know when i have the files though!
How did you dump the orange Rom?
I was under the impression it wasn't possible and
people were waiting for orange based ruu to be leaked on HTC,web
I wish I looked into this more myself now, if it's possible...>_<oh badger
You can dump the stock partitions (system, boot, data, etc etc) the only thing which is needed then is to unpack these images, and to re-package it into a flashable update.
It's not so much a full RUU then, but more of a Clone
Either way, it will still then give the ability to re-flash a stock-RUU-based ROM for Orange, and/or have a stock Orange-based ROM with Root
Soon as I get the files from saitrix, I'll get on with it, and do 2 versions, 1 rooted, 1 stock.
I did a nandroid on my uk orange just after rooting.
Don't know if its possible to re flash the nandroid then do an unroot. If it is then i can zip it up and ftp it or put it on my ftp server.

I have only been able to copy the system folder, it seems the other folders are protected for some reason.

Dude, i'm running some crappy ROM on my HTC Desire, did you ever make the flashable RUU? I NEED IT
Bumping up an old thread here!
It looks like I may have a problem with my Desire's motherboard cos I have constant rebooting problems. I'm gonna need to return my phone to stock before I can send it back for repair.
Did anyone ever have any luck getting a stock orange uk rom?
I just checked for a software update and its available, downloaded and can confirm its 2.2, also all the voda branding has gone!
You do neen at least 25mb free space on your phone for the update to install btw.

Vodafone 2.2 updgrade
do you have a link for it, i couldn't find it.
Yes, finally... and they are the first UK network to update their branded Desires to FroYo. AFAIK.
I'm with T-mobile and we don't even have a certain date yet...
Just installed it
On initial inspection, the only downside is my gps now not working
I haven't realy 'played' yet thought as I'm at work but I think a hard reset and go from there is going to be the way fowards
I've got it as well, had to re enter apn settings though. Having problems with wifi settings cant get into them, keeps asking for credential storage password. Anyone else getting this?

can anyone root this and upload it? i am not sure if i can trust vodafone anymore
Also installed today, vodafone have removed all the bloatware because we all made a big stink about it. No more useless crap on my phone so I'm happy.

A root version would be amazing... i'm just getting to grips with root, don't really want to lose it yet!
Well done to Vodafone for listening though.
Anyone wanna extract the new radio from it for everyone else?
You own a Vodafone HTC Desire righ? With your help we can get the download link. A person on Vodafone UK official forum managed to download the latest firmware by some smart work. All he did was checked the name of the file that the phone was slowly downloading. So what you need to do is capture the OTA_..... text from your phone and paste it in the place holder. http://liveimage.htc.com//[OTA_goeshere].zip.Please share if you manage to do it successfully.
No I don't, I've got a generic WWE Desire...I just want the radio from the new OTA update
OTA_Bravo_Vodfone_UK_2.10.161.2_1.24.161.3_releasejldotwm8uy2ohjmf.zip
OTA_Bravo_Vodafone_UK_2.10.161.2-1.24.161.3_releasejldotwm8uy2ohjmf.zip
wrong link before...
Is there a way to download that file, replace the Hboot and load it as a custom ROM?
Nice, downloading it now!
EDIT: How do you extract the radio from the OTA file?
Anyone got the link from 1.19.161.x to 2.10.161.2? Would be good for people wanting to update manually
Got the radio btw, will upload it later tonight
Hm, I posted it earlier, but looks like its still waiting to be approved (posts with links have to be approved for "new" users)
Radio is up in the Development forum, been using it and it seems OK
Hi Guys and Girls ( If there are any )
I am a week old owner of the htc desire hd and im getting a replacement on monday ( From three uk ) due to the dust getting in the screen etc,making it a eyesight for me . . .
How ever I am going to do a restore on my handset ( for obvious reasons ) only to find i forgot to back up my original 3_uk rom.
I have looked Here and can see there is only a Australian version of my ROM.
Is there any one here or on the web who has a uk three RRU or any one would be prepared to do one for me?
Also Whilst i am here when i get my replacement ( on monday ) how do i go about backing up the original rom? Via Clockwork?
Thanks for your Patience in reading this, I'll be great full for any ideas,Comments,Suggestion.
Karl.
Any one?
If no original files how would i go about backing my my new phone when i get it?
As far as I can remember 3 Rom's are not branded, just download the wwe ruu and install that, I did it on a standard desire before returning and had no problems.

I am after a three branded rom yes and thanks for your post, But i am after a three uk version.
If all else fails can someone enlighten me on how to make a nandroid backup of my new phone tomorrow and i will gladly share it so whom ever can host it on the xda files, as there seems to be a lack of carrier roms.
My phone is an unlocked version I got through ebay, however I have a 3 sim and it adds bookmarks to the browser, however I do not have any 3 widgets. I don't know if it makes any specific modifications, but if it does add widgets, be nice to know if they are useful.

I got my DHD from 3UK and only debranded today.. and I'm in the same boat. Never took a backup of the original 3 Rom!
The original 3UK rom has a stupidly long loading screen and some games/apps added.

Ive just got my new handset from three as my other was defective.
I have installed temp root by using visionary,then installed rom manager and done a backup of the three uk rom.
I would like to know how people do exact dumps of roms,free of root etc, and would love to know how to get rid of all the bloatware installed also, how do i do all this via my pc?
I have DHD on 3, had it for just over a week. I rooted it using Visionary+ (app). Used RomManager - went into Clockwork Recovery and took a Backup which is on the SD card.
After that using LeeDroid.
Thanks,
Mate done so now.
Just needed clarification that its worked . . . .
Did you notice when you backed up your rom the output size was in excess of 500mb!!?
Also who do i contact to get this backup hosted so there is a perm backup for every one to use?
Yea, mine is currently 671+ MB, don't know who to contact in regards to uploading, but it would be cool to have this as a download. Maybe contact the moderators?
YAAY! i got 10 posts, I can now discuss in the Development threads,
ok i got it now will upload it tonight !!
I will try and upload to my rs account and create a free to assess download thing.
Will be very handy to have a few orig Three roms floating around.
