all you clever people out there

chricky i`m lost
i have been reading all that i can on the wiki
but it`s all gone over my head.
can someone please tell me simple steps of what to do.
i want / no sorry need to upgrade my svp m2000 orange upto
a 1.4 rom.
i originally had a 1.4 rom on my blueangel.
but i had a problem with playing video files,
so i took it to someone who knows a bit about these,
he said to downgrade the rom to a 1.3 which he did
but now i dont have my camera or video working even tho it did before he downgraded it.
i have tried to install a 1.4 rom but i keep getting country code error
i have been trying to read about this..but to be honest not sure i know how or what i need to resolve this problem.
there that is my problem..so does anyone know the solution.
1. what software do i need apart from a 1.4 rom
2. which is the best rom to install
3.do i need to do anything else to my blueangle before trying to install the rom...
i hope someone can give me a bit of a clue in easy laymans terms.
many thanks for your attention.

Just do as it's written on this page
READ
First Method (Quick/Easy) (TYPE II)
Download update to desktop
Unrar or unzip all files in exe or rar into a new folder (Yes you can Unzip the .exe file)
Open the folder with the extracted files
Download this file: MaUpgradeUt_noID.ZIP
Extract MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe from this file and place it with the other upgrade files.
Run this new exe file instead of BaUpgradeUt.exe to update your rom
If you get an error the first time, run MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe again
And perhaps pick a Rom that comes from your Vendor.

First of all, you have to hard reset your device.
Then, you said that originaly you have the 1.4 ROM version which is the latest and includes radio version 1.12
All you have to do is to up-grade the radio version to 1.13 and do a hard reset again.
You can get the radio 1.13 from the below link.

I hope this will solve your problem.

@khaledelfeki
he is on a 1.3x Rom with no camera support.
He needs to reflash, and then why not 1.40 with all customizations that fits he operator

To change from GER to WWE will this work?

In my prev. post i was still struggling to find the detials of my phone. I have managed that but now i cannot find the right upgrade for WWE.
I decided to download the latest T-Mobile GER version and installed it. This works well i think. Would it now be ok to Download the T-Mobile version from T-Mobile UK (ie WWE version)? Naturally i would have to edit it before installing.
Please let me know soon! I need my MDA for work!!
Thanks

OK, you need to update your MDA3 to UK spec..? Assuming you're on the T-Mobile Network, you need to follow these steps..
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BA_1.42.00_Upgrade
More so, as you're going to get the Country Code Error (as the MDA3 thinks it's German as opposed to WWE) then you'll need to pay particular attention to the statements at the bottom of the page.. I have pasted them for you..
Wiki said:
However, if you are installing a rom on a device other than that which it is meant for, you will get a Device ID error, so follow these steps:
First Method (Quick/Easy) (TYPE II)
Download update to desktop
Unrar or unzip all files in exe or rar into a new folder
Open the folder with the extracted files
Download this file: MaUpgradeUt_noID.ZIP
Extract MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe from this file and place it with the other upgrade files.
Run this new exe file instead of BaUpgradeUt.exe to update your rom
If you get an error the first time, run MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe again without touching your device (don't take it out from the cradle, don't reset it, don't touch it at all!)

Click to collapse
Remember, you need to be sure you know what you're doing.. Be sure you read everything on Wiki (Link in Signature) and ask yourself "Am I sure I know all the information before I press the "Update" Botton..?
Finally, you can then update your Radio (if desired) to the latest 1.15 Spec from the 1.13 seen in this ROM.. But, one step at a time, eh..? :lol:
Let us know how you get on..
Cheers!

Thanks for the info MrPhilly,
Just to clarify matters, i am not on the T-mobile network but on the Go Mobile network in Malta.
Ill try following your insructions and let you know!
Cheers!!

MrPhilly,
Thanks very much!! It worked!! Ill see how i get along without further updates for now. As you said.....one step at a time!!

Excellent - Glad to hear it worked..
Don't forget to update your settings from your Airtime supplier for the MMS, etc etc..
Have you tried to 1.15 Radio Stack Update..? What you could have done there was to replace the 1.13 Radio file with the 1.15 File and update everything at once.. However, like you say, one step at a time..

Im going to try updating the radio stack now so fingers crossed! thanks again

installing o2 plus

hi im a newbie here so i hope someone can help explain some things to me. thx. i d/l the cab files and the crack versions but how do i install it? after having d/l these files it all ends up being files that cannot be open? and if someone can, can u also explain o2 connect. i try d/l o2plus directly from there but it says that i have to have a user name and password but i cant get that from the o2 website cuz they said my imei# is not correct. i guess they meant its not a number from asia since i got it here in the us. any help would be apreciated thx alot

Just for you
Are you vietnamese?, Here

Broken Link
Would you please attach this file again?
I am using XDAII, installed this file b4.
I tried the o2plus 1.7 from this forum.
A wrong message of O2 always pop up when soft-reset,
also my phone divert profile icon dispeared with o2plus 1.7.
Thanks~

O2 plus - ATOM Cab file
I have attached O2 plus from the Atom. Can anyone crack this one?

From Orange Rom does the M2000 accept the O2 rom upgrade?

I like O2 network but have an unlocked Orange SPV M2000 has anybody actually put an O2 upgrade onto an Orange rom... Where there anyproblems? Please Advice as I had to reset my device after a disastrous error (my own fault) So now is a good time to update the rom!
Anyone? advice please. :roll:

wiki
Advice? Well read the wiki http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BA_1.42.00_Upgrade
& the other wiki pages about the BA.
Regards, M

I did
I did, came to the conclusion that the indentity patch was no good as the O2 update doesnot unzip etc .... so so much for that. I read the info and yes its dodgy to do so but has anyone else ever put an O2 upgrade on a non o2 phone?

Yes! Loads of people here have done it - all the information on flashing a device with a different Country ID (ie an O2 ROM on an Orange phone) are all on the wiki! All you need are the o2 rom upgrade files and to replace the BA_UpgradeUT.exe with that magical file MA_UpgradeNoID or whatever its called exactly. If you are worried about doing it then don't bother, as flashing your phone can be risky if you don't know what you are doing. Besides the O2 ROM is crap anyway as it has the horrible O2 Active UI on it which everybody uninstalls straight away anyway!

Try WinRar next time, works better than WinZip for extracting shipped-roms or just start the update process & search in the temp folders from WinXP to the extracted files. Probably they in your document&settings temp folder.

The trouble was .... the O2 file was an exe and it simply runs.. back to the drawing board. The O2 active comments, it may be crappy software but darned usefull for accesssing specific email accounts.. i.e. o2 ones. Please dont get on your high horses about O2 or me asking for help, I am very familiar with flashing.. etc.. it just isnot as straight forwards right now from orange to o2 and yes I really want the O2 one.. Back to the drawing board ... or buy another one.

As oltp says, if you right click the .exe file and you have WinRAR installed it will give you the option to extract the files into a folder. If you are still stuck, let me know what version of the ROM you want and I can upload it for you if you want. Your best bet might be to use the non O2 1.42 ROM and then customise your extended ROM with the O2 customisation CABs (which are on the ftp)

Thank you!
THANK YOU THANK YOU I knew it had to be something simple... got winrar to do the extracting . Sometimes when you get stuck it helps to ask when you suffer of overstack failure..

Dumped UK M700 Rom!

I've finally cracked it!
Big thanks to everyone on here
Problem is I'm trying to upload it to the XDA Developers FTP site and I keep getting an access denied message, any ideas why?
And I've not tested the ROM myself yet ... so if anyone wants to test it for me feel free, I've just about got mine working properly with mUns 1.25TE ROM so I'm not sure what to do.
The main reason I dumped it was for someone to work out which files are hidden inside the ROM that Orange have put there for the user agent identification so that you can access all the online gubbins on the Orangeworld website - especially the 3G TV stuff ... ?

Doh! Forgot to say that it is an NBH file at the moment, I'm assuming thats all thats needed ...

I hope this is useable by someone with little to no intelligence. I've been waiting for a UK M700 Orange ROM for yonks. Once it's tested by people braver than me, I can finally have a go with these WM6 ROMS everyone's bashing on about.
BS...

Wow...ive been waiting for this too
Is it uploaded?
Thanks

I suggest you upload it to a different location. If you haven't noticed it all ROM's had to be removed due to Microsoft.
Keep the forum alive and upload it somewhere else! It seems allright to post the URL here tough

uploading site
anyone got a suggestion for the best site to upload the file to? A lot of the files here seem to live on Rapidshare, is that the best one?

I use megaupload.com as it's quick and doesn't seem to come up with the "you have reached your download limit" warnings that rapidshare does to anyone who's connecting through a transparent (ISP) proxy.

Uploaded
The NBH file is ready for downloading from Megaupload -
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=MKAVR0SY
I've compressed it into a .7z file as its about the best compression around
Hope it helps both the development of Roms and people who want a backup for a UK M700 ... and I hope I've dumped it correctly!

Yay. Thanks loads

Ok i can confirm that this rom is FUBAR! It does not boot so dont flash it

FUBAR?
I followed all the instructions from the Wiki on how to dump and then reconstruct it, if its failed then I'll try it again as I've got all the parts of the dump on my PC .....
I could just upload the Part02.raw file and let everyone rebuild it themselves? I had trouble with the buildimgfs.exe stage so I used APOCs rom bat files to build the NBH instead
Looks like files I used from APOC seem to mix together the dump directory I made from the M700 with another NBH file I had, which leaves me stuck really as I've used viewimgfs and created a dump directory but buildimgfs refuses to work so I cant get any further in trying another build ... any help muchly appreciated

FUBAR just means Fu**ed up beyond all recognition. And by no means do i mean that as an insult to your rom building. Your doing 100% better than me
After flashing it just hung at the splash screen and took 8 attempts to flash
it back directly from the bootloader (hard spl).
i dont have a clue how to reconstruct a rom so i cant help but probably mun_rus or lvsw could help.

Success part 2
no offence taken
I might have had success now, I think the problems I was having with buildimgfs was because my imgfs_raw.bin was corrupted so I've jsut gone through everything again and its worked exactly as the instructions say so ..... which means that I think I've now made a proper ROM so I'll upload this to megaupload again and let you guys have a bash at it and I'll post the URL shortly

Fingers crossed this should be a workin ROM now

anyone tried this yet?

Works fine..... Restored my M700 from HTC version back to UK Orange ROM, however the splash screens remain HTC branded.

any way to get M700 restored back to original ROM with orange splash screen?

theres a pic of the orange splash screen floating around somewhere, you could make one from that.
