Hi all,
sorry if this Thread allready exists but i have tried looking all over for it and i cant find anything about it!!!
I just recently purchased a Orange SPV M3100 which i understand it is known as the Hermes but with the stupid Orange Branding
and i was wandering if someone could help me or point me into the right direction of debranding it so i could but wm5 or preferably wm6!
please help!
thanks

Hello westie,
use the search funktion for "unlocking" and "ROM" here in the Hermes section.
You will find Threads to unlock your device and you will find available ROMs to flash your Hermes.
For example this:
unlock
Schaps ROM 4.20
or search this part of the forum
hi eightball
thank you for that but soon after posting that poped up

sorry but im new too this!
thanks

I'm in the same boat here.
Won an auction for an Orange SPV M3100 on ebay, and plan to use it with Three Uk sim card, and if poss debranding it would be good.
If you flash your HTC Hermes will it still retain all functionality included in the branded rom?!

It will retain the functionality that is not dependant on provider's apps. So it means that settings for Orange MMS, Orange theme with Orange today plugin will be gone. This can however be installed back (you can download those files in extracted EXT ROMS part of Hermes wiki).
Free Hermes unlocker will unlock the Hermes for other carriers too. It can be found in Hermes upgrading forum.

So for example if I install Black Satin WM6 upgrade, will I have all functionality such as video calling, internet (3G & Wifi), mms, camera etc all working as intended with the phones original WM5 Orange branded rom?
The unlocking part sounds easy enough, I downloaded Hermes SIM CID unlock v3a I read the instructions whch say connect via activesync and run the '.bat' file. Should this take long? Should have the phone by Thursday hopefully so would like to know what to do in advance so I can get it ready for my 3 Uk sim.

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.

All,
I need to get hold of the original shipping Orange UK M3100 ROM, I have had a look at the RapidShare links here and the one posted is Romainian
If you flash with this All Connections/GPRS/ etc dont work, have tied setting up the comms settings from info available on the web.... no luck.
Only option is to reinstate the original ROM, anyone know were I can download this. Orange site has no link....
TIA
is it here?
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_Upgrades
Nope ...
Nope.... this is the Romanian ROM, need UK ROM ...
I Manage To Get My Orange Settings To Work On Any Rom.
Just Follow These Instructions. Hope They Help Their Not Formatted Just Copied And Pasted Of The Web.
Cheers
As far as I know, only the Romanian one is available.
I'm using the Romanian Orange ROM in the UK on my M3100 (believe it or not, it's the only one I've tried where everything works perfectly - if a little slower than I'd like).
I've got a T-Mobile SIM in mine, and to get the data connections working I had to remove all of the preinstalled Orange connections from the Settings menu, then I used a registry editor to delete all the remaining Orange connection bits which I think were in "HKCU\Comm\RasBook".
Once you've done that, try entering the Orange UK settings manually (as provided by mousey), and it should work?
Also Orange UK Have Never Released An Update To Their Shipped Roms So That Means Theres No Upgrade Tool And Therfore You Won't Be Able To Flash Your Device With A UK Orange Rom.
Cheers
This is the same for a UK tmobile rom...there is no offical release so you will not be able to roll back to your shipping uk rom.

this should be the UK ROM:
http://rapidshare.com/files/17338987/HER_ORRO_123702_1060400_WWE_SHIP.exe
Recently I had to return a Hermes to Orange and I used the components from this to restore my device to their OS etc.
if for whatever reason that turns out not to be the UK one (it should) then I have it on my computer and can send it to you somehow.

I also would be very interested in the UK orange ROM. I would also really appreciate if you could send it to me.
I am now downloading what is on your rapidshare link, but it appears to me to be the Romanian one.
I Would Also Like The Original Orange ROM As It Would Come In Handy If I Ever Have To Take My Phone Back In For Repair.
Cheers
I just looked and that is the ROM version I have; I've installed it on a PDA and it's in english; how can you tell it's Romanian exactly?

Go to your "Home Page" in IE, tries to go to orange.ro, also in regional settings it is set to Romanian
Could Someone Extract The Connections Settings CAB From An Orange ROM As This Would Be Really Helpful To Anyone Changing Their Phone Images.

that means I've sent Orange a PDA with the Romanian ROM... just as well it was a swap!
to be honest though... if that's the only customisation difference, it'd be trivial to rectify that by changing the setting post-install

I have a backup of the full EXT_ROM of my UK Orange M3100 before I flashed it.. if you need the file let me know and i'll dig it up for you.
Yes Please sambartle That Would Be Great. Just Upload It To A Site Like Rapid Share. And Post The Link Here.

Anybody who have the original orange UK Rom not this one from orange romania? I need it, please let me know

I've finally managed to get WM6 on my 3100
However took the opportunity to dump the rom I was using before hand just in case...
This rom was the rom the phone was shipped with (UK SPV m3100), however I had used pof's v2 unlocker when I first got it to unlock it, would this have modified to rom in anyway? Or just the radio rom?
So I have a (what I believe to be) a UK m3100, I have a Part02.raw (written with no errors) if anyone would like to reconstruct it.
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.
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?
