Installing latest Rom/Radio version - MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading

Hi All,
I have recently bought an Orange SPV M2000 here in the uk, I checked the Rom/radio version and have found out that they are woefully out of date. Orange have said that they have no plans to issue a rom update so I would like to do it myself.What is the very latest version and How can I safely update it? I understand from others that if it is not done correctly it could wreck the whole phone.
Any information would be gratefully received

Hi Jane,
I've been looking for a good ROM. I was originally running WM5 from Wiki but I've had to ditch it last week because it became too unstable. Could you please post the link to 02 ROM so I could check it out asap I get a chance to.
Thanks

O2 XDA Mini S - What is the best ROM for Push email

Hi All,
I have been reading the posts on this forum for the last 5 days and just need some advice.
Just got the Mini S and woudl like to know what ROM to upgrade to, various posts mention the QTEK or the IMATE and to be honest I am a little confused.
Correct me if I am wrong, but I need to use the lokiwiz program to unlock the SIM and CID before I attempt the upgrade ?
Thanks
Dan
You would also need to remap the keyboard as the O2 version has a different keysheet. The O2 build with push will be available within the next week or so.

I'm in a similar boat to the OP. Been watching the forums for a couple of weeks and am finally in a position to upgrade the ROM - still not sure to go QTEC or iMate....and now Lord Buckingham throws O2 back in the mix!!
@ Lord Buckingham - can you qualify where you have heard the news about the O2 ROM as all I have seen is pure speculation so far on these forums?
If any other Mini S owners can comment on the QTEC/iMate ROM argument that would also be a great help!
thanks.
I've just installed the Qtek 2.17 Rom on my mini, but now i'm having activesync problems. Not sure it's related, although I am tempted to try the Kjam 2.16 rom to see if it's any better. Will let you know when i've installed it...

I've been using the iMate 2.16.9.1 rom since it came out in feb, and it works fine for me. Dtharby, To answer your question you do need to use lokiwiz to unlock the SIM and CID before upgrading
After hacking around on my Laptop, I've resolved the activesync issue I was having, without going back to 2.16. So 2.17 seems stable, fast and bug free so far...
thanks guys. It's reassuring to hear there's some Mini S users in the UK that have has success with the new ROMs.
I think I'll try flashing tonight....maybe going to go for QTEC (just cause it came out later!!)
One last thing - is it actually possible to roll back to the shipping O2 ROM from these new 2.x ROMs?
cheers!

Best Rom for Mini s??

Just bought a O2 mini s. I've seen loads of posts regarding roms.
Any opinions which is the latest & best rom for the mini s??
Any help/advice wud be great! Thanx
Use the latest O2 Rom
O2 have just released the latest ROM pack which you can download from the XDA section of the site. It is working well for me. It is definately better than the original and and the QTEK ROM I was using whilst I waited for the AKU2 updated ROM from O2.
I understand that O2 are delaying shipping the Mini S phones whilst they upgrade it is possible that you have the latest ROM if purchased in the last few days.
This may be a silly question, but could I simply run lokiwiz on my MDA Vario (hasn't even arrived yet) and then use the latest O2 update or is there an IMEI check to prevent me from doing this?
thanks

O2 mini s ROM
Thanx for the info, i had noticed O2 had made a recent rom updated when i researched the product before buying. Mine is in transit & should arrive 2moro with any luck.
It may well have the new rom, this might be a silly question but how will i know if it has the new rom pre-installed??
When you 1st turn on the device, or whenever you soft reset the device, the rom version will be displayed in the bottom right of the boot screen.
You may also be able to find out by going into settings and clicking the about icon.

hi marcel
I'm just correcting my previous post the rom version shows at the top left on the wizard when booting after a softreset mine arrived today and is running 1.6.2.4.
you can also check this in the device information applet in settings.
this isn't the latest rom available but it seems to operate very quickly so i'm gonna stick with it until tmobile release an offical update. (or until i get bored and can't help fiddling with it.)
hope thats some help

UK newb question - Wizard ROM update.

Forgive my general newbie ignorance, but this seems the best place around for knowledge on this stuff.
I have a Qtek-branded Wizard. I bought it SIM-free in the UK, and use it on the O2 network. I'd like to get the latest ROM update, as made available to O2 customers via its website for the XDA Mini S. However, because I don't have an O2-linked phone, the RUU software it provides doesn't work.
I've tried accessing the same stuff on the Qtek site, but it refuses to recognise my IMEI, so I can't register on the site.
So now I'm at a bit of a loss. If I knew what I was talking about I'm sure I could install ROMs from elsewhere - like right here - but I don't.
Anyone got some advice for me on this one? Any help would be rewarded with great and pleasurable things.
I have the 2.21.4.1 O2 upgrade file, PM me with your e-mail address and i will send it to you.
Actually, as I have a Qtek phone I'd rather get the latest Qtek upgrade. I've found a 2.17.7 RUU - is that the latest Qtek one you know?
Although, is there a possibility that installing that ROM would screw up my O2 service?

Orange Diamond Firmware Update Needed

Hi guys
Hope you don't think this is a noob question, probably is so please forgive me in advance, i hope you will help me in any case.
I bought an HTC Diamond from Orange UK but it shipped with the 1.35 Firmware not the 1.37 or newer.
I thought if i registered on HTC's website i could get the latest firmware, however when i put my serial number in, it tells me it isn't an HTC branded phone and i need to talk to my provider.
However when i talk to Orange they say that they do not have anywhere to download firmware updates and i need to talk to HTC. I therefore don't know where to go to get an Orange 1.37 firmware or later. i know they are shipping 1.37 versions as my mate has an Orange Diamond with 1.37 installed.
Can you guys help me out here? Also is 1.37 the newest firmware? Or is there a later one that i can get hold of?
Cheers
Mike
maybe better post this in the ROM section?
search there you might find what you are searching for
reposted. i did a search before but could not find any answers
Cheers
