I have the Orange SPV M3100 and was wondering when (and if) they release a ROM upgrade, where will it be posted?
O2, TMobile and Voda all have download pages for various things, but Ornage don't seem to do this.
Now come on. Please put a ? on the end of your subject! I nearly wet myself when I saw your post, thinking that they'd pulled their fingers out and posted a new ROM :wink:
When they do post it, it will be at
http://www.business.orange.co.uk/se...4132772045&extarg1=Phone&t=SMEDeviceDownloads
LOL Sorry never thought of that :lol:
That's FUNNY!
I followed the link above to the Orange page about the M3100. It says that standby time is 6 days! ROFL!
I get about 1 day out of mine - and I hardly make any calls!
Being a little inaccurate - ok. Getting 18% of "official" figure - that's just plain old BS...
Have heard Orange won't be releasing an update until January so don't get your hopes up for one soon.

The link you provide doesn't have their first and only ROM. Does anyone have it. I need it very badly since I want to play with upgrading and using hard spl. I'm afraid if I brick it again while upgrading I'll have a chance to flash the original ROM.
Does anyone know when they will have an upgrade? Will they ever???????

I was waiting for 6 months. Gave up in the end and just took the cover and screen off my bricked SPV and put it on a knackered Vario ii.
I'm not sure what Orange's thinking will be with updating this ROM - if they start selling SPVs with Windows Mobile 6 they may just not bother releasing an Updated ROM at all (unless the need arises to release a newer ROM for handsets pre-installed with WM6 - in which case I doubt the older WM5 handsets will be supported by such an upgrade due to licensing issues).
Much as I would've liked to find a ROM update I really don't think they'll bother: there are no real issues with the original ROM (at least I never came across any).
I Cooked A WM6 Orange Ron Using Bepes Kitchen. It Has All Of The Orange Settings Installed, But It's WM6. Use The UK Orange Package Posted In Bepes Thread.

will that work?
Orange id needs to be 001 not 008 otherwise it'll say invalid vendor ID.
I've the same problem from November 2006 !!!!!! Please a rom with 001 cid !!!! Thanks from Italy
How does your cooked ROM perform? Does it have all the Orange settings for GPRS/MMS etc? Was thinking of cooking it as although I currently use WMXL, I would really like the Orange settings built in.

Bebes thread has a striped ROM(operator settings only I think). What I'm after is a complete shipped ROM for just in case I brick it again.
My intention is to keep the bootloader to 1.04 and use Hard-Spl. Then I'm able to upgrade to anything without worries.
Ok, Well The Cooked WM6 Rom Works Fine, @findus Yes All The Orange Settings Are Included, No Problems As Of Yet.
@sniper258 I Also Recompiled The Original Orange UK Rom From A Dump Someone Had Made, It Is The Original OS That Is Supplied With Your Orange SPV M3100. Search For Rom Reconstruction And You'll Find It.
Cheers
@sniper258 From The Sounds Of It You Still Have The Original Rom Installed, Could You Tell Me What Radio Rom It Ships With Originally So I Can Create A Proper Original Rom That Includes The Same IPL,SPL,OS And Radio.
IPL - 1.01
SPL - 1.04
OS - Orange UK 001
Radio - ??
Just A Quick Check You Are From The UK Yes?
Cheers
As stated the cooked rom as above does add all of the settings but the battery icon on the top bar does not work, after install it stays as the clock.
Changing the registry to show the via ms shell does not work either as the battery icon does appear but does not function.
@the.drone
Is This The WM6 ROM? I Didn't Know That Was The Case, I Use SPB File Explorer Which Uses A Today Plugin Whos Battery Meter Works. But I Can See How Annoying That Would Be.
Off Topic Where Is Lake Vyrnwy In Wales?

this is on either the aku3.3 or wm6 roms, have been trying to find a fix for the past few weeks.

If you have bricked one device don't try it again. There are issues being worked out with the unlocker.
Second, there is a ROM you can use for your Ameo that should install without being unlocked and based on WM6. It's on the forum somewhere. I don't remember where it was posted so you'll have to search.
Let us know how it goes....remember you don't need to unlock if you find the right ROM...the WM6 ROM for an Ameo/Tmobile device.
Thanks people. T-Mobile can go to ....
On my third Ameo running wm6 pro.olipro unlocker v2 should do the job i heard but intsalled the rom which run on t-mobile ameo. Dont know what the difference with the black touch version is ... i cant complain ..well for the moment . Thanks again People!!!!!
The T-Mob ROM works without unlocking but Olipro V2 worked fine on my UK Ameo which allowed me to install Black Touch which, thanks to PK and the team, is far better.
Hi Chaps,
I had a UK Orange SPV M3100 which I SIM unlocked and also upgraded to WM6 Black Satin... this was a great phone and worked very well for me. I now have a Kaiser and gave my upgraded M3100 to my brother. However, his IT department at work won't allow him to put the latest version of Activesync on his PC (God knows why, but there you go...). WM6 requires this updated version of Activesync.
So, my question is this:
What is the best WM5 ROM out there?
I assume as I have CID and SIM unlocked the phone, these will not need to be done again. Also, am I right in thinking that he may be limited to a 2GB micro SD card with WM5?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

i downgraded my ATT 8525 back to WM5 after realizing WM6 was just too sluggish on the phone. So i just went back to the original shipped version of att/cingular wm5 listed on xda-dev wiki here:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_Upgrades
you can find your orange wm5 rom there, just look for the latest version...hope that helps
Thanks for the reply... I am wondering if the Official Orange ROM (linked to on the page you referenced) will install OK, given that I have Hard SPL on my M3100? Will I need a specially re-wrapped version of the Orange ROM to install correctly on my SPV M3100?
Any feedback greatly appreciated!

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?
since i've got HD2 i have been tryng lots of combinations for radio and rom
but nothing works fine.. poor signal, data keeps droping and changing a lot..
does anyone know what configuration is best to use with vodafone uk? (my sim card is new)
ROM:Artemis 41.0 WWE (02/11/2010)
RADIO: 2.12.50.02_2
2.08.hspl
thanks!!
hi Ch,
sorry but there is no such animal as 'the best.........etc'
depends on too many factors - most specifically - your location in UK.
i live near Axminster, Devon & have tried dozens of combi's.
currently (check sig) works for me - radio version 2.15.50.14 is miles ahead of all others (up here in the hills).
keep flashing - it will come right - promise. HD2 is a superb m/c.
I have to agree, Ive found 2.15 radio best so far battery not amazing but it more than makes up for it... other than that I am using 2.10 as in my sig.
Basically I have come to the conclusion that Vodafone sucks, its not the radio its F***ing Them! They used to be really good but I think their network is running on economy or something.
I'll be moving to O2 when my contract runs out.
@ osrix
+1 on that.
o2 is also coming my way soon.
edit: better change 1st part my sig. lol
Dude, I think your problem might be that you are using Artemis ROM v41 with HSPL2.08.
If you read the Artemis ROM thread, all versions after v37 (so v40, v41, v42) are built from the new SPL 3.14 base.
There are reported memory issues when using these later Artemis ROMs with HSPL2.08 and it is recommended to use the stock ROM 3.14 SPL.
Unfortunately if your phone is a Vodaphone, 02 or T-Mobile UK branded HD2 there is not a stock ROM v3.14 available yet. (no-one seems to know if they are planned).
If you read the Artemis thread you have a couple of options:
1.) Flash v40/v41/v42 using the Goldcard method to "rebrand" your phone to orange/HTC
2.) Use Artemis v37 which will work fine with HSPL2.08 (this is what I'm currently using & its working fine)
after a goldcard boot method running an official rom, phone stucks 0% on cooked
I got a gold card and have flashed an official leo 3.14 rom using the boot method pressing buttons..
but now, when I try to flash an artemis from gold card or usb the process gets stuck on 0%!!
now there..
spl 3.03........
(WWE) 3.14.405.2
Radio: 2.15.50.14
Manila: 2.5
vodafone uk - still
**android works fine with this official rom but i want other.. should i come back do 2.08 spl??thx
Hi Guys,
I am also with Vodafone UK, using their official Stock ROM 1.72 and having same/like problems you have indicated. I live in Manchester and even so don't have a decent signal at home. At least they gave me their Sure Signal unit to boost my home reception.
I was with O2 before moving to Vodafone (bcz they at had that time the best price plan for a free HD2 handset) and regret the day. O2 has a much better network and a fantastic Customers Service. I was lucky to be on one of the last 12 months contract Vodafone offered so in 3 months time I would be back with O2!
