Hey folks,
Is there a rom image out there somewhere (I've looked around but maybe I'm just blind) which will let me downgrade my Orange SPVM2000 from WM2003se to plain old WM2003 not second edition?
I need to run some software which rather stupidly explicitly checks for an unsupported operating system and refuses to install if you're running SE. It's important enough to me for me to downgrade the rom if that'll get it working
Thanks,
-simon

Hello.
I've heard somewhere that the i-Mate ROM hasn't got any ExtROM. Is That true?
And another question: How can I downgrade a ROM what is says the next message: Upgrade Only!
iMate simply doesn't have any additonal files loaded in the Extended ROM. T-Mobile has specific customizations, like setting up the phone and text messaging to work on their network. If you use your phone on T-Mobile, I'd stick with their ROM (or a custom T-Mobile ROM) unless you're comfortable with changing all of the settings yourself.
As for the downgrade issue, you need to CID unlock your phone.
I've already CID unlocked my PDA, but the upgrade program says UPgrade Only. Did I missed something?
The I-mate ROM hasn't got any extrom, and the space of the extrom goes to the storage/program memory? so if I upgrade to an i-mate ROm I should get more storage/progam mem?
As I have been disussing in another post, i am considering updating my Orange SPV M700 to the Dopod ROM in order to get Phonepad.
If I do this, please can someone tell me where I can find a copy of the original Orange ROM (1.23 - English), and whether I will be able to reinstall this.
Also, is it possible to reverse the CID/SIM unlock that it is necessary to perform to install the Dopod ROM initially.
Thanks
Hi
You can upgrade your rom using SSPL method without CID unlocking.
Can someone please help me out my friend told me he got WM6 working on his T-Mobile MDA, and i'm using a 2.26 ROM I got from here a while back
IPL 2.26
SPL 2.26
GSM 02.25.11
OS 2.26.10.2
He sent me : T-Mobile_RUU_Wizard_2261020_226_22511_ENG_US.exe
I ran this and apparently that's how I got the version i'm running now, I forgot which I had pervious, but I ran that, everything went smooth, it ran autoconfig etc, CID unlocked beforehand, and then i got CB-AIRAF.exe from here and then I ran it, it updated and completed, but when the phone boots up it is WM5.. it then says please wait 3 seconds to customize, then it puts up an error message reading "\Windows\AutoConfig.exe Not found" or something similar, and then that app closes, and the phone is bare bones WM5.. why the heck isn't Wm6 installing? it's very frustrating.. someone bare with me and help me figure this out i'd be greatly appreciated.
If it's easier to contact me via AIM.. my SN is Cynth3tik
You apparently aren't CID Unlocked. Do the CID Unlock procedure at the top of this forum. Then make sure you flash the official TMobile ROM again to get back to IPL/SPL 2.26. Then upgrade to teh Faria rom.
The official tmobile rom.. i'm not sure which that is or where i get it from.. is that the cooked tmobile rom file i have ?

That is the official TMobile US ROM, the one that is recommended as a baseline ROM.

ok i've done that now i can attempt to install the Faria rom ?
No. As I said, I think you are CID locked and thats why the update failed before. You now have to go through the steps of CID Unlocking. Please go to the top of this forum and find the Sticky by Dr. Putingham that is on how to CID Unlock your phone (title starts like [Read First]). Follow that step by step (line by line). Don't skip anything. You will downgrade, run a tool, downgrade again, and then upgrade back to this TMobile ROM. After all that, then you should be good to go for doing Faria's (or any other custom ROM). Once you CID Unlock you shouldn't have to do it again (unless you ever go back to a 1.x ROM at some point).
ok guys i followed the forum on how to unlock.. i installed the buttons rom, then CID unlocked, then put the official TMO rom on, then installe the Faria Crossbow, it worked !
BUT... the screen where it says tap the screen to set it up.. i tap it and it does NOTHING, as if its froze, i restarted it, same thing :-( any ideas?
EDIT: SRRY! i pulled the battery out and put it back in and it works! thanks for all the help guys!
Might anyone know why if i had a contact with a picture stored for them, i backed up/synced to Outlook 2007 before the upgrade to wm5, and outlook has the pics stored just fine, but when i sync with wm6, all my contacts sync except for ones with pictures...any ideas ?
Glad you made it to WM6, and able to figure out your issue with the screen.
As for pic contacts not sync'ing I'm not sure. I don't sync with outlook (I use SyncML with my company calendar) and my pic contacts all did fine that way from WM5 to WM6.
Hi,
Ages ago I upgraded my G4 wizard to WM6.1. Now it turns out I need to put it back to WM5 - but can't find a RUU to use.
The original ROM was from O2, but that is not vital. Does anyone know where I can get a suitable RUU from? I found one that would, I think, only work with a G3 device, but have not found one yet I can use...
Cheers,
Ben
I thought I had found one, but the RUU complains that it is the wrong version (Error 300) and I get nowhere. I still have WM6.1 working fine... how infuriating :0p
Well,as you say its a G4 and upgraded to wm6.1,ok
First,how did you upgrade to wm6.1,which method did you apply to upgrade,was it SoftSPL or HardSPL ?
If you applied SoftSPL,then,just simply download official stock rom and flash it,it'll work,but if you applied HardSPL and the IPL/SPL are changed,then first you'll have to Remove HardSPL,revert back to Original Official IPL/SPL of the carrier and then you'll be able to reflash wm5,ok
Let me warn you here,if the phone is HardSPL and you flash any Official stock rom without removing HardSPL first,will 'Brick' your phone.

hi there,
Actually i had the problem with G4 on how to upgrade to WM6, I tried but no luck, haven't tried either SoftSPL or HardSPL yet but when I flashed my WM5 original ROM, I didn't have any backup at all so I kept searching answers here for days, & finally I tried the Wizard Love ROM which one of the Senior Member here said it will work. It works for me & now I'm using WM5 Wizard Love Rom with CID LOCKED.
Hope I can help u with that..
P.S.
If anybody can teach me how to upgrade my Wizard G4 (T-Mobile/MDA - black) to WM6 (any rom) or the download links for SoftSPL ONLY! they said it's safe..
Would gladly appreciate!
Thanks...

hello there...
i'm new here...
i want to downgrade my BA from helmi wm6 Pro to wm 2003 se...
like the original and default OS...
i wonder where could i download it...
can you help me...
you can download your shipped rom, either at your carrrier's site, or, more comfortably, at -=xplode's shipped rom archive=-. you can find more informations on how to downgrade are to be found -=here=-. remember, even if your shipped rom comes as a simple exe file and seems to have downgraded automatically in the past, your device is WWE now and it lost its original name, like 9090, mdaIII or xdaIIs to BlueAngel, meaning, you need to induce the bootloader mode manually and use a modified RUU to bypass country ID, model ID... error. the RUU can be found -=here=-.
