I'm sure it's been covered in a thread but I'm not able to find it so would appreciate someone explaining the following......
Is it possible to flash my bog standard M700 with the latest HTC ROM from their website?
I've been given a copy but I couldn't download it because of the Orange IMEI number would not resolve. Presumably there are no issues due to this and it will work just fine?
Lastly, has anyone written a step by step idiot guide to doing this? If not could someone please reply and tell me? I'm not all that techy with ROMs but can am OK with PCs and registry stuff etc.
Many thanks in advance!!
You're right it has been covered ;-), HOWEVER.....
NO you cannt use the HTC version on the Orange M700, it's just for the HTC branded phones. SO now relax and get a cooked version... Either MUN-RUS OR LVSW's are good. I personally have the LVSW version......
Look for it in the Trinity WM6 forum.
In the first post is ALL the software you need, grab all 3 bits of software, apply them in order as listed in the instructions. And thats it, shiney new WM6 M700.... however remeber after you do this to remake all the MMS settings etc etc otherwise Photo Messaging etc etc wont work BUT on Oranges' web site there is a "me Proof" guide to putting it right ;-)
Thats it, go get'em fella
Thanks, Just out of interest, why won't the HTC ROM work, after all it's still an HTC device!
Being lazy... do you have the link to the post please?
So you found this site, BUT cannt within this site find the Trinity Mobile 6 Forum or read the very first 2 posts in there?
Get a grip ;-)
As for the HTC thing... guess it's to stop people taking thier software off them and using it elsewhere, and all the troubles that entails with licsencing etc, ALSO dont forget Orange "Value Add" to the phone (brand the day lights out of it ;-) )
Yes found the link!! Just didn't think it was that obvious so wasn't looking at the top! Dohh!
What's Value Add?
Can anyone point me toward instructions on how to extract or backup my exiting Orange M700 ROM in can the upgrade goes pear shapped?
Still a little confused as to why the HTC ROM will not work. Can someone explain properly please?
It is all explained on the forums if, as deech says you "get a grip"
Do a search.
The reason upgrading will not work is mentioned in this the upgrade forum if you look. If you can't even look for it I'm not sure you'll understand the information though as it would involve thinking.
The way to backup a rom is also mentioned in this forum. In fact if you could be bothered to search you could quite easily find one that's already been made by one of the members of this forum in this forum section. It's even on this first page of this upgrade forum.
I don't quite agree with Deech though. I say you should get off your lazy arse and actually look for the information you want rather than just expecting everyone to point out information that's right in front of your eyes if you just look.
Sorry to flame but it drives me nuts that people can be so lazy and expect everyone else to find the information for them.
Value Add..... all those shiney little things that Orange and Vodafone etc add to the basic software, Like the WAP portal, Today Pages, etc etc, a straight HTC ROM (or Nokia, or Motorloa) ROM is very plain and boring, but often works sooo much better than that provided by the Mobile Company after they have "tinkered" with it, hence Value Added.
I agree though you shouldnt be re-flashing your phone if you cannt work the search button and read and FULLY understand what the hell is happening, and how to make things right IF they go wrong ;-)
If you know ehere something is it take 10 seconds to actually be helpful and tell someone whos asks in a polite manner!!
For example you would have trouble finding the difference between a half inch Whitworth and a half in UNC bolt!! I, on the other hand could tell you in less then 10 seconds.
Thanks for all your help!
Excuse me all overe the place BUT... I've just trawled through here and can't find anywhere that says the M700 cannot be flashed with the latest Trinity ROM from HTC, and the reasons why.
Am I right?
Here's what you do. Download the official HTC ROM and try flashing your phone with it, then you might actually believe us when we tell you that you can't flash your phone with it. The official reason that you can't use it on your phone is because your phone isn't actually an HTC phone, it's an Orange SPV M700. Or so they'll have you believe.
I understand the difference between a half" Whitty and a half" UNC. One's a Whitty and one's a UNC, easy
Read the forums, then ask questions.
Peace,
BS...

Hi m8, Looks like you're in need of a little friendly advice, so here goes!
Despite what they're all telling you in this thread, you *CAN* quite easily flash the latest HTC Trinity ROM to your M700... You will first need to unlock your phone OR use the SoftSPL method described in this thread:-
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=293632
Unfortunately, you will need to educate yourself a little to achieve what you desire and this means READ and UNDESTAND the above thread before you attempt anything!
All the ROM's you could ever wish for are available through this site, here :-
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Trinity_Upgrades
To be even more helpful, the HTC ROM you require is here :-
http://rapidshare.com/files/2296300...1_1_.23.405.2_103_6275_1.38.00.11_108_GPS.exe
(Looking at one of your other help question threads, it looks like you don't know how to download from Rapidshare, you need to go to the bottom of the above linked page and click the "FREE" button, then choose your download site from the page that follows... enter the security key as shown and dah dah.... a download!)
If you need any further help then PM me, rather than filling up this thread any further!
I hope this helps!

Happy to help, but you ask a question I answered it.
As for showing off about Whit / UNC threads..... dont judge books by thier covers, in real life I am a Marine Engineer serving on some of the largest container ships ever built in a very senior position
Now please please take the time to learn about your phone, read all the fora here, and sort out what it is you want to do. And happy flashing once you pop you cannt stop
LOL. is all I can say. You haven't got a hope in hell.
You CAN'T flash the HTC to an M700 because it's locked to Orange. (Similar to a sim lock... Need that explained? Or can you search now??)
Unlock it and you're laughing. (As Mozzer says)
When I posted last, less than 5 posts below yours asking about backing up the rom was the post containing the last link Mozzer has given you, as I said it was even on the first page of threads, not far to look. A forum search for M700 would have shown it immediately.
Backing up the ROM is much harder than flashing it so would have been out of the question for you.
As for UNC and Whitworth. All I can say is congratulations. You, like pretty much all of us (if not all of us) here, also have knowledge in other fields.
I won't bother trying to make myself look big by quizzing you.
I have to admit I have very little knowledge of these devices and am forever endebted to the members of this forum for the information that is shared here and the work put in by many. The difference between you and me is I don't demand it on a plate.
I can use the search engine and look at Stickies. They're stickied for a reason! That reason is either to warn you of forum regulations OR because they are important.
It's not that hard to look in the Trinity subforum and at the first topic which is a link to the Trinity Wiki. (U know what a wiki is? Or is that not of interest as it's not UNC?)
In the Trinity Upgrading sub forum:
5 posts below this (probably seven when I submit this) is a thread entitled:
Moz's RUU_Trinity_Orange_UK_1.23.61.5_1.38.00.11_GSM_NoI PL_NoSPL.exe
Hmmmmmmmmmm. Wonder what that is..... I admit it's a tad convoluted. But you know you have a trinity which is badged by orange.
Third sticky down is entitled:
SSPL (or flashing any ROM 4 free)
Can't think what that's about. I want to flash my M700 with HTC branded.. Could this help? Naah I'll just save time and get everyone to do it for me.
In the Trinity Mobile 6 forum:
First 2 Stickies.. Wonder what they do. Won't bother looking.
Can anyone tell me how to wipe my arse. I've lost the ability to see and use my hands.
In my last post if you look I gave you some clues as to where you could find what you wanted. I'm on alot of forums and people who can't be arsed to have a look for themselves piss me off. If you'd looked and said I've found this that and the other but I'm not sure about it could someone help explain please I'd have done what I could to explain. But you couldn't even do that!
Many Thanks MOZZER!
At least there is someone here who has taken the time to be helpful.
So Deech... what is the difference i between half inch Whit and UNC?
Hi Mozzerr!
As you were kind enough to help with sensible answers could you please advise on the following:
I feel that the Orange ROM on the M700 seems a bit shaky and the GPS take forever to make a cold start... just a gut feeling it's probably the ROM hence the view to flash it.
In your opinion are there any major advantager to WM6 over the HTC release. I don't use 3G stuff or other advance comms mail etc. just the Phone, Active synce stuff, MP3s, Camera and TomTom via the GPS?
What would you do?
Ah now a sensible question.
WM6 is considerably faster than WM5 when it comes to loading menus and programs (and as far as I've found is completely stable).
There currently appear to be a few people who have a battery drain issue, which I for one have not had and should be ironed out soon.
If you use tomtom there is a cab somewhere (I forget where) in the Windows Mobile 6 forum called ATIfix.cab which fixes the freeze issue (if you get it).
If you're going to go to WM6, which I personally would recommend, you can always flash back to the HTC flash if you don't like it.
TBH other than speed for what you've listed as items you use it'd be more about the look and feel of it, so try both and go with what you're happier with.
I hope that helps.
Just remember you loose all the Orange Branding when you flash, so "IF" you find any of it remotely useful it will disappear, including settings for MMS etc.
The Tom Tom Freeze thing seems pretty common, mine idi it big time, but everything else is nicer, faster and smoother.
WM6 is..... nice and well worth it
There is a cab on the forums with all the MMS setting on this forum. I think I linked relinked it somewhere in the Mobile 6 forum, plus some people have extracted several of the orange programs and posted them.
Ok so i just unlocked my Tilt, but ive read alot in this forum and i dont really understand what room and cooked and alot of words around here, i want to make it a cool phone and i gues just leaving it like it is right now (stock at_T),
isnt my best choice for fast cool phone, because i guess it has a lot of junk and its missing good programs.
what should i do now.
what should i erase and what should i add?
should i reflash it?
please any help will be greatly aprecciated.
i'd start by browsing the first 5-10 pages of this forum, as well as it's sister "kaiser upgrading" forum. paying particular attention to duttys kaiser cab post and the rom posts. this will answer your questions, and for most of what you asked, only you can answer those.
Hi guys, well not to make a short story long, i cut down a few images some of you might reckognize, to fit the xperia screen res and just thought that some of you might find them useful... enjoy!
edit:
i just noticed that i put this in rom dev; could one of you mods move this to the general x1 forum please? my bad;
12th Feb '09 edit:
ok so i added a few more, just because i got bored and didn't have anything better to do... enjoy
and where are the wallpapers? only these four?
How many bananas before you have a bunch?
One, a couple, a few, a bunch, many...?
i would say that four walls this is a few wallpapers, a bunch is a little more. this is how i understand the word "bunch".
just to rest your case i will therefore change the topic of the thread to make it more appropriate :> also, apologies for those mislead and lured to read this thread by an empty promise of 5+ wallpapers
It's still misleading; a few is three and you've got four....
I suggest googling for eee pc wallpapers -it has the same screen resolution as the x1 and there are hundreds of nice pics around the net.
here are a few more guys

THX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
and a few more ...

That's a BUNCH more wallpapers, ain't ??
PS: Attached goes my banana, I just love this image so much I copied it from the ROM and exported it to JPG. I use it as my splash screen instead of the freaking green windows image
Edit: some more bananas to the bunch (a "Vaio" banana and a couple of Sony alpha)
Extracting XIP from Blue Angel...
There's no tutorial for this... any one got inputs?
Some time ago....
Some time ago a Hermes chef told me that there is an option to XIP port manually but he doesnt have enough time to xplain me the process cause it is extensive and exhausting
BTW i ask him how to make a rom if in BA the kitchens cant! do that... maybe the tool XIPport can do the thingy but How da heck! jajajaja lol.
Is a process that maaaaaany Tutorials for cook may have...
there is a post for how to do it , you just have to search a bit more, it is here in BA section
Well i will try it... Jejeje
Thanks for the info men!

Ahhh the good old days
Kinda funny...
I saw you, Helmi_C, BEPE, and many more trying to boot WM6 jejeje was great to see nice efforts that we cant saw now a days here... I mean many people is working now on new devices... and PV has more solutions it seems to help this device to be alive supporting you and all here to develops new roms.
I have read every single post on this thread and man you can see how they really want it, how eager they are to have wm6 on our BA. Thanks to all who lend their time for our BA.
And something that you do not understand from the thread, the trick was in simple HEX edit the nk.exe to make WM6 boot on BA
i didnt understand that guy.. saying i cant help here cooking but i know well how to search on the web jajajajaja....

See third post for new animation.

Hey all,
At the time I broke the glass (touch panal) of my Desire HD screen i thought, hey my warranty is gone, why not root this thing. And so I did, it was the first time I had done a root, and a while ago was the first time I saw MIUI and experienced it, and woaw what a great rom that is, also good are those cyanogen roms and other then some sense 3.0 roms I haven't tried much, however I'll probably stick with MIUI for a while because of the great and easy customizations.
Ok, this is not why I started this topic, to the point now.
I've been creative last night and decided to share my creativity with some of you who can appreciate the nice and green stuff that is usually smoked.
Now before starting a flamewar-topic, which would not be very healthy for our sweet plants (and our lungs), or a drugwar-topic, no no wrong word choice ah well... All I'm trying to say is keep it non-personal, anyone can have their own opinion about cannabis, and please try to keep the topic about the bootanimation itself instead of the subject from the bootanimation. Okay, really to the point now.
Here's a youtube video I made:

The file is larger then 8mb, so I can't upload it to xda, I'm posting a multiupload link.
I'll correct the links after I posted 8 other posts. In the meanwhile if the first one to answer to this post would be so kind to just correct the links for me (or if a mod can fix it) that would be great.

Nice ..........
newer = better
Update:
Ok, time for an update. The original was just, not good enough.
Oh, and I managed to keep the miui theme file size below 5 MB should have figured to use jpg instead of png.
Also, if you want to use the animation on other roms, just exctract the mtz file within the htc-thc.rar and grab the bootanimation.zip
I added a .gif in the preview.rar file if you want to preview it.
