I flashed my tytn tmobile dutch phone to the cingular 1.34 but want to go to the original english Tmobile rom (no problem with vender id)
any one has the original rom available for me?
This cingular rom freezes the phone often!
Often, you can't upgrade until an official ROM was made by T-Mobile.
As far I know T-Mobile hasn't made ROM upgrades yet.
I could be wrong though, and interested in such an upgrade.
Every few hours my phone now is stuck!!! I hate this rom and videocalling is off....
I made a mistake upgrading to bootloader version 1.06... I need an official rom now...
Is there any other way?
Tnx!
Check the wiki, there are a some roms available there.
you cant flash another rom since the 1.06 bootloader enforces Vendor ID checking! otherwise i would have changed allready....
Ok guys please be gentle, ive tried searching and posting previously with no success.
I have purchased a 2nd hand Wizard which is an O2 badged sim unlocked unit being used with an Orange sim. I know I have a G4 device from following the guides and I know that somewhere on this site there are links to manufacturer roms which I will need before I can start playing, I just cant find them.
So....
Can someone please provide a link to the latest WM5 Orange Rom and is there a WM6 manufacturer version that will work with the CID locked G4 device?
Thanks
You sure first SIM unlocking your G4, then use shelltool to flash a WM6 ROM as you wish (No official WM6 ROM is available, and will never be).
Since it's a O2, you can revert to WM5 (That is needed when you need to flash other WM6 ROM) by using official RUU for O2.
Thanks, I take it there isnt an official orange wm5 to restore it back to available then? Is there?
To be honest I would have liked to start by just going from an O2 rom to an Orange one and then upgrade to wm6.
I have a unlocked g4 MDa vario, with the standard uk tmobile rom on it .
to make things easier I would like to put the Qtek (uk vodafone) rom on the device.
now I have tried extacting the rom and using softspl but I get either file write errors or invalid carrier so can not flash it.
Can anyone help as I like WM6.1 rom which im running at the moment, but my device just runs really slow but doesnt on the wm5 rom but would love the qtek uk vodafone rom on it as they are my carrier.
Cheers and apologies if this has been asked before (i did do a search but didnt come up trumps)
Len
anyone have an idea how to do this ?surely there is .
has anyone every tried this or am i asking the impossible ?
Hi Guys, looking for a little advice.
I have a Neon which is flashed with a Telstra ROM. I have downloaded another ROM which is geared for Optus but when I try and flash it tells me that there is an Invalid Device ID. I guess this is because it recognises that the ROM is for another provider ???
Any suggestions.... I just want to get rid of all the Telstra branding and other crap that installs.
Cheers
Well, first of all, Tell us some more.
Like;
Have you already sim/cid unlocked the phone?
Have you done the hardSPL which you can find as an sticky.
Try flashing after that, and let us know,
//Dani
.... double post.. sorry
THanks for the reply. I have installed HardSPL for the Neon.. I was not sure if it had gone on properly... so I installed Seths cooked rom and it went on with no worries so I assume that hardSPL went on OK. I liked Seths but there were a few bugs so I tried to put the Optus ROM on that I got from HTC Asia. This is were it gives me an Invalid Operator message. It will allow me flash the Telstra ROM back to the phone with no worries. The handset itself is a branded Telstra set. It is no big problem as I will probably go back to Seths cooked ROM after the bugs are ironed out.
As far as the sim / cid unlocking goes.. i am not sure on this.. will have to search the forum to find out more.
Again thanks for taking the time to respond... really appreciated.
The Optus and Telstra Touch Duals are two different devices, the telstra one is a 20 key neon 200 and the optus is a 16 key nike, the optus rom wont work on the telstra neon 200.
That makes sense... thanks for the info.
my cousin has 2 orange spv m3100 and was thinking about upgrading them to windows mobile 6 or 6.1 depending on rom's available
is this easily done?
and would it be best to unlock the phone so it can go on all networks before the rom update or after it?
all advice would be great thank you
Upgrading your device's rom is quite easy after youve done it once, just check the wiki page, upgrading for beginners this should tell you all you need to know about flashing a rom for the first time.
Have fun
cheers scotty
we're guna havea play about with both of them next tuesday/wednesday when we're both free
maybe unlock teh sim so it goes any network aswell
another quick question
do you know if the latest rom on there for the orange spv m3100 is a wm6 build?
no there wasnt a wm6 released for the spv m3100 the actual newest orange rom is a update on wm5 it is in my uploaded file i think if you want to have a look, i used a cooked rom after hard-spl and super cid everything works fine and i have flashed quite a few roms.
Have fun
thanks
do you know of any wm6 roms for the spv?
or if i got the phone unlocked and used a vodafone sim in it would i be able to flash vodafone roms or would i still have to use the orange rom?
James, going to your original question, I've recently done this myself, and over the past week, i've flashed my phone numerous times, so its very easily done.
Just read the guides, and make sure your 100% confident that you've understood it, I did and i'm 100% happy with the outcome!
Thanks Greeee
did you flash a wm6 or a wm5?
cause it comes with a wm5, but wanna updte to a wm6
Tbh, I should've explained something...
My phone is the HTC Hermes 200, not the SPV M3100, although they are the same phone, mines not branded by any network.
It was shipped to me (Bought secondhand) as WM6.1, so all I did last week was updated the HardSPL and since tried a few roms.
I didn't have to use SuperCID, to unlock mine, as it was unlocked, but I do wish you well buddy, and word of recommendation, try not to use branded software on phones, as they bog them down with too much bloatware, stick with what you like.
If need be, I'll help where I can, but tbh, your in safer hands with everyone in here, as all I did was read the guides, and stuck to what was being advised.
The people here are good, which makes it so much easier to use!
cheers Greeee
well im thinking of getting it unlocked before i do anything to it anyway, when using roms without a specified carrier does that mean i can use any rom or is it best to stick with the operator specified?
if you super cid you device you can use any rom that has been cooked or from any carrier as it is basically a unlock for that a bit like a sim unlock. most people use the cooked roms by the chefs in the wm6 part of the forum where there are wm6/6.1 and 6/5 roms that have been cooked and have different features so you will probably have to do a bit of flashing and some looking around before you find a rom that is best suited to you.
If you have ne more questions just ask, Have fun
cheers again scotty
super cid, that easy to do?
just like flashing?
and could i sitll use any carrier rom even if i got someone at a shop to unlock my phone to any carrier?
super cid an sim unlocking is different to flashing i think i dont really remember
wiki on sim an cid unlock here
and a thread here
hope this helps and saves u paying to have it unlocked good luck
yer unlocking and super cid are dif to flashing
are super cid and unlocking the same you know?
cheers for the links, i'll try saving some cash now
no problem and they both come in the same program you just choose which one you want to do both.
Good luck
whats teh splbootloader thing what i been reading about?
it says you need to install that or something :s
do you mean hard-spl?
yer thats what i mean
you will need to flash version 7 2.10 after the sim and cid unlock this prevents your device from bricking if a flash goes wrong
cheers
so sim/cid unlock
then flash hard spl 7 2.10
then flash my rom?
