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..

WM6 in other language than English ?

Palm released the WM6-Update in English now.
How long will they need to release the update in other languages, for example German ?
I asked Palm but they even have no planned release date they could tell ....................

Thank you for contacting Palm(tm) Technical Support.
Your case number is: X-XXXXXXXX
You ask when the Windows Mobile 6 upgrade will be available for the generic Treo 750.
Unfortunately we do not have a date for the release, but the "coming soon" shoul mean about a month.

So updates in other languages seem to be far away ....................

Vodafone Austria has just released the german update >>> www.a1.net/treo

Thanks for you info.
As far as i can see the update version is Treo750-2.18 carrier code VFD,
so Vodafone German.
I'll give it a try.

pls, give us a feedback

Can u give us a feedback on such things as:
Are the alternate symbols working, i.e. umlaute like ä,ö,ü with on click, or do u still have to hit the navkey three times down to choose them?
What kind of branding does this rom offer? A1 or Vodafone splashscreen for powering on and off the phone? Any waste of storage, like program links known from the att rom?
I am really looking forward reeding u'r experiences.

The only branding in this Rom is the Vodafone logo at startup and shutdown. No additional crap and apps like in the AT&T one.To get rid of the Vodafone logo you could make the Treo vanilla by deleting the extrom as described in other threads here.To get the Umlauts just press the alt key.

After the vanilla procedure
CC-Cap : 000-000-001
Carrier DB: 251
Free memory
Data: 54.65 MB
Programs: 28.53 MB
Firmware and OS-build are the same as in the English Vodafone-Version.
The Software-Version remains unchanged.

Well, I cannot update. When I start the original Update I'll get the error, that the update isn't for my device. I have a REGULAR Treo 750 not the Vodafone branded one. So I know it's not the "right" one. Where do I get a patched RUU.exe or something?
I expanded the Updater .exe-File and started the T750URT.exe and he Flashed a ROM, and as there's only one, namely CHEEIMG_FW.nbh I thought I would have WM 6 on it, but I didn't.
So can it be, that I have to unlock my device? Or is it an other problem?

To upgrade you can use the SD-card method described in this forum.
Or try this one:
- start the updater, stop at the first screen
- look at your temp directory, there is a new folder created
- edit the file "payloads.xml", in the section "carrier codes" replace the 3 letters with the letters you see on your treos system info
- go on with the updater (start update)
good luck
calico

have you tried to take the way with the Flashcard?
rename the Cheeimg_fw.nbh to cheeimg.nbh
format the SD-Card, copy file on it, reset while pressing the button below the volume-control and wait
A 750v (what you'll get - Imho) is not able to pull the Mailboxnumber from your Sim (if it's not a VF one) and it is not editable.
Can you imagine to make an Image of your original 750? Because it's german.

If you tell me how, I would surely make an image of my treo 750 without V before upgrading to wm6. I would also love to have an backup, but i got no idea how to do it. And there's no Information in the Wiki.

hmm,
there must be some dump tools in the ftp area. I've never done this, so I can't tell you how to.

Couldn't find anything on the FTP regarding Dumping a Treo ROM.
Will search buzz's site but if I can't find anything there and nobody can tell how to dump, I will upgrade without a previous dump.

upgrade succeeded
upgraded to austrian A1 (vodafone) image and got the following:
CE OS 5.2.1239 (Build 17746.0.2.4)
Software-Version: TREO750-1.14.VFD
Firmware-Version: 1.47.02.00
CC-Cap: VFG-VDE-013
everything is working fast and stable, sync with Vista and MDC 6.1 very fast, BT headphone Jabra 250 very good, UMTS/HSDPA with vodafone mobile flat very fast ...

OK, same for here:

Orange Branded HTC Touch Diamond ROM Update?

Hi
Basically i just tried to download the latest ROM from HTC support and it wouldn't let me, kept saying "not suitable for your handset" after i put in my serial number. Basically e-mailed the support and they say that because my handset is orange branded, that I cannot download it from them. I have recently found another way to download the ROM, but in the email it said that orange may have made har or software changes to the phone. Will this mean that the ROM will not work? Have not yet tried for fear of bricking my phone!!!
Thanks

will most likely Brick it.
its the SPL that controls what ROMs you can flash.

That sucks.... my phone hasnt been updated yet, and is still pretty slow!
Cheers for the reply!

you can always flash a Hard SPL (i believe 1.37 is the preferred one).
you can flash back to the original ROM and SPL for warrenty reasons... i'd suggest making a note of the existing SPL version (can be found in Bootloader - Soft reset and Vol Down button).

Just checked, my SPL is 1.37.0000, does that mean I can update?

Orange have their own version of the latest 1.93 rom
It has MINIMAL changes - mainly the auto set up of Orange data etc
It's really fast and stable
Give that a try

You can dowload an up to date ROM from the Orange (UK) website - I downloaded it a few weeks ago. It is version 1.93.405.1. It works much better and quicker and has no Orange specific branding. Why not go for that one as then your warranty will not be affected

Hi, could you link that ROM, please?
Can't find it on the website.
Many thanks.

Here it is, enjoy it before Orange push out 1.97:

Latest Vodaphone UK shipped ROM for HD Mini?

I see that Photon hosts some shipped ROMS.
My Girlfriend has just purchased a UK Vodaphone HD Mini and I wonder if there is a new shipped ROM as there are only patches available on the Vodaphone UK site?
The current ROM on her phone is 1.07.401.1 (85429) WWE
ROM date 21st March 2010
Radio: 0.63.05.05
Many thanks
EDIT: Whoops... Sorry! used the search! I'm dyslexic and sometime find it hard to sort through textual information.

Vodafone haven't released their ROM yet (as you have already noticed from their website), they must still be testing/modding it. They are always a bit behind the curve in releasing Vodafone "approved" ROMs.
If you want the newest version ROM on your device you'll need to use SSPL and the 1.36.401.1 ROM posted up on conflipper's site. (Follow the shipped ROMs link from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=701507 )

Not impressed - it seems posting this has possibly drawn attention to the shipped ROMs site and the account has been suspended...
I should have exercised some impatience and downloaded the ROM this morning rather than driving 200 miles home only to find the files no longer available. :O(

The main Shipped ROMs site has been suspended after HTC got heavy with Conflipper, though they have agreed to allow already posted ROMs to remain.
You can find the HD Mini ROMs Here

Ahhh... Many thanks
Downloaded and attempted to upgrade the stock ROM with a stock update...
Invalid Vender ID at 1% falshing then dropped out.
Had a look for a Hard SPL for the Mini and it seems that it's not yet available for this device. (I wish she'd bought an HD2 now... )
So how do I go about updating the stock UK ROM to a newer stock ROM when it's in an *.exe file?
Is there some way to extract the ROM image and hence use DFT_SSPL_MINI.exe to update the ROM?

The stock ROM *.exe file it's a rar archive and contains different files (RUU, nbh, dll, etc). You can try to extract the *.nbh file and run it with mini_spl in the same folder.
BUT, it's just an ideea, maybe i'm wrong, i never tried this way since my phone it's not branded.

I already tried opening the exe with WinRAR (I'm on V3.93) but no option to extract. Any other ideas?

WinRAR or 7Zip should give an 'extract' option, but they don't always.
The only other method is to connect the phone to the PC and run the update EXE file, agree the changes but don't continue to the start of the flash itself.
This process will have extracted the contents of the ROM update to a temporary folder on the PC. It's just a matter of locating it! When you have, you can copy the RUU_signed*.nbh file to the folder with the SSPL_mini file.
Be aware that only the OS ROM will be updated by this method- the Radio ROM cannot yet be updated other than with a full stock ROM flash.

I have a Vodafone Mini like yourself and followed the instructions from the SSPL thread. Worked a treat.

Need a Win6.5 Telstra Rom

My Mobile was bought from Hong Kong but I want a Telstra Rom. unfortunately I cannot download from the web because My serial number cannot past tho. anyone can give me a link to download direct. Thx.

Do you have HardSPL on your phone ?
If you want to install an official ROM on your phone which wasn't designed for your exact phone (branding etc) - which is what it sounds like, given the website doesn't like your serial number - then you're going to need HardSPL.
