Hi everyone,
A quick question -- has anyone with a UK SPV M2000 successfully upgraded to the latest Imate PDA2K rom? If so, could you please post step by step instructions of how you did it?
Also, does the upgrade clear the Orange UK extended rom and replace it with the Imate extended rom?
Thanks in advance
Cheers
Nick
Orange SPV M2000
Hello mate,
It seems that we SPV M2000 are underlings in this forum, nobody seems interested in the new users.
I have unlocked the Extended Rom of my M2000 and I have installed the fax software from the Imate, and it works. I do not think that there is anything else that could be interesting there.
Also I upgraded the BT software to build 3500 which seems to have sorted out the licence and memory problems.
If you learn anything could you look out for me and let me know?
Re: Orange SPV M2000
I have just got the SPV M2000 and have been having problems with bluetooth and Jabra SP100, I think I need the BT upgrade or patch.
I'm new to the pocketPC world and rom patches etc.
jrmgolem, I would like to get the fax software installed too and the BT patch, but there is so much information on the forum, it's difficult for a newby to figure out where to start :shock:
Would be greateful if you could list the steps that you went through to do your upgrade
Thanks in advance.

No problem, if you send me you email I will send you the files. All you have to do is to copy the files into the temp directory in your M2000 and tap them, then do a soft reboot and it should then be updated.
You will need the unlocker as well, then the EXT ROM Files. They are here somewhere so I will find the url and send it.
I'd love to have it too
sent yo a private message..
thanks

Hi guys,
Just wondering if either of you could help me out...
I've not got an M2000 yet. Long story...i intend to use my work Voda SIM with an M2000 that a friend who is an Orange dealer has offered me in exchange for a few beers should i want one 8)
A little obvious but just to make sure, I presume that once unlocked, a Voda sim in the M2000 poses no problems :?:
Assuming it works with a Voda SIM, i'm also guessing the M2000 will be heavily customised to Orange. If i flash with an i-mate rom, will that get rid of the Orange customisations and provide a more generic software?
If i need a reflash, until i get the unit i've no idea what versions etc the hardware will be (or even how to find out). Can anybody offer an idiot guide of what to look for and how to flash the unit??
Any help appreciated. Thanks in advance 8)

Hello,
I would like to share upgrade idea & howtos with buddies using closely similar BA as mine, that is SPV M2000 Orange (have a french Orange subscription), but UK buddies too !
I use extensively IP phone in wireless context, travelling a lot, so, using a global roaming ISP. This allows to call for almost free.
I work on enhancing Radio/BT capabilities now, so perhaps we could share on that specific goal.
XTEN PRO ppc is the IP phone I use:; it works well, but unable at present time to use my Jabra 250 BT with it. This one is kinda "captured" by the SIM telephone app, working great, but this is a clear audio limitation of my current BT driver/version.
Welcome to share & enhancement !

Orange SPV M2000 - lets share knowledge
Hi,
I am a UK user of the M2000. Have you upgraded your M2000 to any recent ROM version / bluetooth etc...?
SN

(It's boring backing up data!)
My concern was mre about BT quality, unable to use my BT headset with any other app than the GSM phone.
were did you get it????
hello!!
totally agree with u'r ideas!
following this topic with interest.!!!! :shock:

Cordialement.

hi i have a uk SPV M700 and i want to know where i can download tomtom for it. The ones that you dont need a car to use? Can anyone help?

I have just taken delivery of the new Orange HTC TyTN II and all is going well. Typically they have removed many great apps, including the Internet Calling, HTC Home and Touch stuff and other HTC includes.
The TomTom 6 Navigator that some are reporting comes with the HTC version is not included with this, so I have installed the version I had installed from CD on my Hermes (SPV M3100).
The problem is that even when updated to version 6.030, the app simply cannot connect to the GPS. How can I a) check that Orange have not removed that and b) configure the GPS control panel to work.
This is driving me barmy!!!!
(On a seperate note, is there a single list of the great CABs for the Kaiser - rather than 52 pages of a thread?!)
The cabs are all in the first few posts...
My O Tytn2 works fine with GPS... just look at the EXTERNAL GPS settings for com and speed and use them on Tom Tom?
Orange Tytn II
Is that Uk Orange .... are they calling it Tytn II or is it an SPV no.
I wasn't aware that this had been released by orange yet
Uk Orange. HTC Tytn 2 branding
Released last week.
Tom Tom 6 on Orange
if you go on to the tom tom site and under support just type built in gps
there is a tutorial for another phone but it works on tytn II
why do orange play around with the roms and remove things
has anyone tried the cooked roms on orange.
i read a post that someone who did it cannot use any network cards

Hello
I am new to this forum, so sorry if i posted this thread in the wrong place.
I have a htc tytn 2 locked to orange, and i was trying to install tomtom6 when i realised that i need to update the rom to do that.
could you plzz let me know how i can install tomtom or update the rom as the main reason i got the fone was to use the gps on it.
Also if it is possible to unlock the fone then plzz let me know.
thank you
why upgrading ? I have tomtom on my kaiser and it works
which rom do you have ?
ce os 5.2.1620 (build 18125.0.4.2)
rom version: 1.81.61.2 wwe
You don't need to update the rom
I'm on orange uk and took the card (with tomtom installed) straight from my tytn into the tytn 2 and worked straight off... well after I told it to use the internal gps
tomtom version = 6.0.32
rom is out the box orange uk rom
I guess that what he is trying to do is to install the TomTom software that came with other Tytn2 devices. Orange UK took that software off the CD and and I think that they adjuested the ROM so that the TYTN2 TOMTOM software refuses to be installed. I tried installing the TOMTOM TYTN2 version but it gives an error message... however.. my TOMTOM 6 from TYTN is working fine with builtin GPS!
Ciao
i too have a out the box orange uk rom running tomtom 6023,no problems at all
the orange rom i have is :1.81.61.2 WWE
rom date : 09/20/07
I also have Orange TyTn II, running TomTom 6.0.3.0
With the internal GPS, I find it takes quite a while to get a signal lock. I reckon it's a pretty low power device internally, and it suffers from problems in built up areas. Even with QUickGPS, it takes a good minute to lock on at the best of times.
I also have a Qstar 180 bluetooth GPS, based on a SIRF3 generation chipset. This is much better than the internal and generally I use this one
Also don't under any circumstances even open the External GPS application. Even opening this stopped by GPS working. Insane, so hopefully a fix will come out soon
