Orange M2000 upgrading (device info)

Hello
Have read the wiki and all the information and would like to upgrade however when it states select your original shippers rom, none of them match my details
I think i must have one of the first ones though cause i received my M2000 before all the stock issues occured with orange
Rom Details:
Operator Version: 5.12.1.139
ROM Version: 1.12.22 WWE
ROM Date: 09/27/04
Radio Version: 1.04.00
Protocol Version: 1337.35
ExtROM revsion: 1.12.139 WWE
any help would be appreciated as I really think its an old old release version
Thank You in advance

Welcome to the forum.
Your rom is old and we dont have many if any new Orange roms.
So if you want to upgrade the rom your best choice is the 1.40 and radio 1.10 or 1.12. (you will have to work out which one you need based on what you read here).
How to upgrade is on wiki.
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BA_1.40.00_Upgrade
You might have to think about your Ext rom, unlocking it and saving the Orange related things.
Read the stuff again in the kitchen and here is what you have to work out what you want to save.
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BA_ERK_X_112139
Have fun and yes most of your questions have answeres in wiki.

got an m2000 also. didnt read the instructions before doing a rom upgrade. the first couple of times i thought i had destroyed the phone cos it wouldnt boot up. installed the imate latest update and works like a beauty. latest everything on it.cant see any major differences from old rom that i can notice. apart from different wifi icon (prefer new one) and windows media player 10 (great). as fro expternal rom i also installed the imate one cos the orange was nothing special. dont miss any of the setting from it apart from the gprs which i barely use just latch on to wifi wherever i go. too many unsecure wifi connections in north london anyway

my upgrade to the Imate rom is complete, however i am wondering if i use XBackUp's backup or the backup i made prior to the ROM upgrade using ActiveSync, will actually just revert the roms back to how they were or will it just keep the same info and just restore my missing data??
Thank You for helping
hmm started restore anyway (thought i'd go on an adventure) then read some posts and found its not a good idea.
so my question has now changed to not if i shud restore but how do i save the txt msgs from the fone and put them back once i have reflashed the phone again?
Thank You

Newbie Problems with XDAIIs

Hi,
Have been reading the forum for a number of hours now....
I have big problems with my XDAIIs locking up. I am pretty certain it relates to the rom / image supplied with the phone - It locks up far more when O2 active (v3.6) is running.
I have read the sections on which upgrades but am more than a little confused. Can someone point me at the correct ROM to use. I downloaded the Qtek 1.40 rom but get region errors when i try and install. I have being trying to get my head round how i avoid this but guess im being stupid.
Help
Paul.
my rom 1.31.00 WWE
radio 1.13.00 (managed to update this)
ext rom 1.31.139 WWE

Paul, if you can, try doing a hard reset and when it asks for corporate or personal select corporate and put in the code 0506. It will then not install the O2 active software. It stopped mine hanging.
Hope it helps mate.
Jim

cool. will try that...
i actually managed to get it on 1.40 rom now.... just wish i had written down the gprs settings for o2...

Oh also read this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=24480
but to be honest I tried that 1.40 rom and I had camera problems so I went back to the 1.31.00 WWE and it's fine for me mate (yes my radio is 1.13.00 as well now and my extended rom is an allsorts mix, but I'd read a lot more before fiddling with it!)
Ah, you've sorted it (I was typing as you replied). You could go back to the standard rom and then take note of the settings (I didn't as I'm too tight to pay for GPRS so I don't use it at all).
Let me know how you get on mate, especially try your camera.
Good luck.

how to to repartition the rom

Hi,
I'm trying to upgrade my radio rom. At first everything seems fine but after the upgrade process is at about 30%, I get error no. 114. I think that maybe a part of my rom is broken, so I'd like to change the allocation of my roms. I'd like to have the extented rom part as new radio rom and vice versa.
Is that possible? If yes, how is it done?
thx for your help
PECK

sorry to disappoint you, but no, that is not possible.
start the other way around, do not try to bypass a problem by creating a new one, try solving the problem first. why would the radio rom abort in the middle of the upgrade process?
- do you use the right upgrade tools?
- do you use the right radio rom?
- did you take care of everything else there is about upgrading a rom (bootloader, active sync kill...)?
- are you able to flash another os rom?
...whatever comes to mind when flashing roms, because this problem will not be any different after all.

@ chef_tony:
I've no problem with upgrading the OS or the extented rom! thats why i think that maybe the flash chip is broken!
I tried many different upgrading tools, even one of yours!
I don't know the current language id of my device! Originally it was a german XDA III! How can I check the current language id and how can I change it? is it possible that I have this problem because of a wrong language id?
thx in advance
PECK

i would guess it couldn't have anything to do with the country id, error 114 is radio rom update error.
btw, you get to see the inofficial country id everytime you soft reset the device, and in the bottom right corner it says something like WWE, or GER, for instance. or, when you connect the device and run getdevicedata.exe from the ruu folder, which is done before the upgrade, to show you the "from:" and "to:" numbers.
but: i just got another idea.
do you actually take out the sim card, before trying to upgrade the radio?
is your device sim unlocked?
have you played around with different bluetooth stacks?
have you performed a hard reset before trying to upgrade the radio?
have you tried upgrading the radio from the stock o2 rom wm2003?
ok, that was more than one idea, and downgrading seems like a lot of work, but it is worth a shot. if you spend days flashing (or trying to) over and over again anyways, you might as well try that, would mean 2 extra upgrading sessions, but what is that, like an hour?
oh, and what radio rom does the device have now, stock? or is it a newer one already?
and why do you think you need to upgrade the radio rom anyways? phone not working, maybe the problems lie deeper and that could be why the upgrade process can't work in the first place!
"don't confuse an original symptom with the sickness from the drugs we gave him" as dr. house, would say

hi,
the device is unlocked! there was no sim card inserted during the upgrade; i just tryed with one but I get the same error at 32% progress...
it doesn't work with the original rom, also!
it would be fine if the stock rom was installed, but unfortunately i don't have installed any radio rom whatsoever!
windows mobile device information says that i don't have a radio rom and no protocol installed!

oh, for pete's sake, i'm sorry.
when i asked you about the sim card being inserted, i thought of taking the card out, if you hadn't done before, should have written that. many people have problems when having a sim card or sd card inserted, i didn't want to suggest to put one in! that can never do good, either nothing happens or it gets worse, i really shouldn't have forgotten that.
it doesn't work with the original rom, also!

yeah, but does the stock rom itself work? i mean, the stock rom is a so called baked rom, meaning it contains a rom, an extrom and a radio rom, while the cooked roms here only contain the actual rom, so the os. i mean, you could try and extract the radio from the stock rom and try and flash that. it would give you a radio back! or if that doesn't work either, try flashing the entire stock rom, if that works without problems and then you'd have a radio, it means that your issue is too strange to think about, but still you can delete the extrom again and flash another rom without harming the original radio.
wouldn't that be a step forward?
btw. what radio rom are you trying to flash?
if it is just one, you try over and over, are you absolutely certain, this is for the BA? which version is it? what was the original file name of the exe? where did you get it? have you tried re-downloading it, maybe the file is really broken!

hi,
i tryed many different rom versions, and i'm pretty sure they are for the blueangel!
do you know, where i can get a cooked rom for my xda 3?

first, to be clear about that, as mentioned before, cooked roms consist only of the operating system itself and contain neither a radio rom nor an extrom. so about every rom offered here is a cooked rom. but that won't solve your problem, since, as mentioned, there is no radio included. that is why i suggested for you to try the original radio from the shipped rom, and then the entire shipped rom, to determine, whether the radio rom flashes, when it comes after an nk.nbf rom, which would mean, that from now on, you'd have to "bake" roms yourself, by taking cooked roms and adding the radio, so to not lose it. when you can actually flash wm2003 you can also try flashing other radios with the original BAupgradeut, because in contrast to os roms, there should be no limitations to the radio roms, as far as i know.

Touch HD running slow, need advice

Hi everyone,
Used cooked roms for a while now, used to use them on my tytn as well.
I have been having such a bad time with my touch HD, i thought it was time to ask what's going on with you lot.
Basically, my touch HD has been running so slow for a while now, that it can even be hit and miss if i answer a incoming call. It even takes 2/3 rings before the ringtone starts up!
I have used miri's wm6.5 v16, but recently updated to he's manilla 2.5 ROM to see if that improved things, it hasn't.
I have radio 1.14 installed along with 1.56oli.
Could i be doing something wrong or is there software out there i have installed that is restricting my touch hd?
Battery life aint too bad so i can't really see it being that.
Any help would be great, my phone is angering me! haha
many thanks for any help!

have you tried flashing back to stock http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=501583&highlight=RUU+blackstone rom?

no, ok, i will take a look at doing that then.
Will i have any issues other than the one stated about hardspl with going back to stock?
If i were to install this, would i then be able to try cooked ROM's again or would i likely see the same as what is happening now? (slow device)
Thanks for the link btw

i am well experience with USPL but nil with HSPL, i have been flashing back and forth stock and any latest Manila 2.5xxxx ROMs using USPL. you can search HSPL thread and look for ways in order for you to flash stock rom and reflash cooked roms.

It sounds like you've correct SPL for rom your using, i.e. SPL 1.56.Olinex, so it shouldn't be a problem with HSPL. You've also tried a different rom which also didn't fix your issue so I'd suggest what jigners said above and restore stock SPL & rom, then re-use dummies guide before flashing cooked rom again.
Alternatively check on Miri thread incase there are issues with his latest rom(s)? If so, there are plenty of other chef's and alternative cooked roms to try before you try restoring stock

maybe you want to try kwbr's Topix rom, it's wm6.1 and fast

I would say go back to stock ROM and start all over again.
Good combo is:
SPL 1.56
EnergyROM
Latest radio is a bit disappointing for me so i am on 1.14.25.24 with its rilphone.dll
Remember to flash with no memory card inside and to do a hard reset after the flash

By the way, have you hard reseted your device after flashing a new rom?
If not then do the hard reset for 2/3 times and observe the performance.
Furthermore, remove the SD card from the device and check the same. Defective SD card simulates the same problem because system requires lot more time to access it.

OK, i have gone back to stock firmware (well most recent offical release anyway)
All seems ok at the moment, it's been up and running for a couple days smoothly now.
I will take a look at the dummies guide and get back to cooked soon.
And yes, i do a hard reset everytime i have flashed, but only, i will try that next time i put cooked ware on the phone. (hopefully later today).
thanks for all the help,

how important is radio

dear developers,
i have a question about my HD. i've updated my spl booter, now i can install new roms from de cooks from the SD card. but i've now several problems.
i tried almost every roms thats available here on the forum but i get everytime the same problems.
- phone freeze's, so i have to reset the phone each time several times a day
- 3g/hspda connections lost, like on msn,email etc. again each time reset needed
those are 2 most important problems, you think you have a working phone but its frozen till you see it. its very disturbing
after this problems i went back to the original rom from the htc site. but now i get the same problems back.
so my question is how important the radio? is this maybe the reason of my problems or has other persons the same problems? or do i have a broken phone?
only the miri rom v38 isnt freezing but still the other problems
thanks in advance

What ROM are you using? What radio version do you have?
The radio isn't necessarily that important, although it is always a good idea to flash the latest. This sounds more like a flashing problem. When you flashed the ROM, did you hard reset? Have you tried using Task29 before flashing? This can also help you update your radio as you can use the latest version for this (and ensure a clean install).

those are data i get when start up right corner
R 1132524
G 52622534u
D 15621903
what do you mean by task29?
i copy the file to sd card. then boot and install the rom. after that i always hard reset by vol up and vol down and put the phone on.
shoull i flash different then?
thanks in advance

What you need to look at is the About Phone and software in the Settings Tab. That will tell you what you have installed.
Look in the main ROM thread for task29 for information on this and how to use it.
I assume that you have used HSPL to flash your ROM.

Radio IS IMPORTANT!
Not every radio is good for area where you live / mostly use your phone. Or provider you're using...
1. Every stock ROM installs radio and rilphone.
2. Almost none of the cooked ROMs install radio and/or rilphone.
3. Not every combination radio / rilphone is working good. Rule is that you use same or closest rilphone version with your radio.
In my area I have tried almost every radio from 1.12 up, and I'm most satisfied with 1.14. 1.17 gives me sometimes better phone reception, fastest GPS lock but eats battery fastest. So you have to test what fits you best...
