Hi guys i had a xda from day one and got on really well with it.
so when i found a great deal on a spv m1000 (xda2 but orange branded) i jumped at it) but i do have a new newbie questions.
1/ Where can i download a mms composer? (also is there one for xda1? as my wife has that phone now)
2/ Is there any rom kitchens for the xda2? or special edition roms.
3/ i am still with o2 should i flash the new o2 rom to my orange spv m1000?
p.s i have unlocked it if that makes any diffrence
Sorry if these have been asked before.
Thanks in advance.
Max
also can i install this http://www.sourceo2.com/O2_Developers/Devices/O2_Xda_II/XdaIIRom.htm onto my spv m1000?
cheers
1) MMS on the XDA 1 has to be done through EZwap - This may already be on the phone if you have upgraded the ROM from a kitchen.
2) There are still a few functioning ROM kitchens where you can cook just what you need into a ROM check here http://lumpistefan.dyndns.org/
3) I would stay away from the O2 ROM - you will only want to remove it when you realise it is a waste of space. I would move totally to Orange if I was you.
PS I am looking to move to Orange - can you PM me the details of the deal you got.. Thanks.

thanks you have mail
, so can i use that rom from my last post? i was always happy with the o2 rom on my xda1 and this one offers everything i need
also i thought roms from that kitchen were for xda1 not xda2? do you flash in the same way?
cheers
The ROMS in that kitchen are definately for XDA, NOT the XDA II. I know of no kitchens or special ROMs for the 2 - some folks flash a ROM from another provider, but that's about as far as it goes.
thanks, so could i flash the uk o2 rom onto my orage spv m1000? the o2 rom would be better for me as i am on o2
thanks
Guys? anyone please !!!!!!
OK . . . I'll jump in, even though I have not had the need to do such a thing.
I would say that you certainly could do it. The only problem might be a country ID error. If so, there are many threads in this forum to help you past that one.
Best of luck!
Dear All,
I am new to this forum which i just joined today. Currently i am trying to figure out my newly bought SPV M600 from u.k but i m located in Malaysia. Any errors or failure on my SPV M600 will be a nightmare for me because i cannt get back to U.K and fix the SPV M600.
After i surf through the whole prophet section, i didnt able to get a proper guidelines on updating the ROM in SPV M600 to Dopod 818 pro ROM. First of all is it possible that i update the Dopod 818 Pro latest ROM? Is it compatible?
If yes please teach me the right ways to perform it. I really scare that my SPV M600 will be gone.
Any specific intruction on the update? To make it perfect?
Don't worry about your SPV m600 ther's no need to get it back to UK..You just have to search around in this forum..go to Prophet Section, surely you'll find tolls nedded and instruction
what is the SPL / IPL of your phone?
I have an M600 myself and on an Orange ROM and wonderig if the Dopod ROM is better and the pros and cons of upgrading from orange to dopod.
Also pls be sure that once you have flashed to a non orange rom u cant go back to the orange rom as it aint available nowhere.

when i try yo go through the wiki.xda-developers.com and under the phophet section there is no information. all the links seems contain no information. wondering where to start from.
and also is this rom working fine with spv m600? http://www.dopodasia.com/download/RUU_Prophet_2151327_21513121_021921_DOP_ASIA_WWE_Ship.exe
what is extended rom? can i have a link on that. thanks
Take a look at this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=50995&start=0
Be aware that if you upgrade to Dopod, there's no turning back for now with this rom, meaning you won't be able to downgrade until a solution is found.
I have installed myself that dopod rom instead of the orange FR one, and I think it have better speed, but appart of that, don't really see the difference appart from some stuff missing in the dopod (like pvplayer for live tv and the rotate screen) and some useless stuff in dopod like auto config for Asian phone providers.
In my case I've update to dopod because it was the better rom atm and I wanted to get rid of that AZERTY french keyboard config which is far from handy on a phone and have a QWERTY.
Now it's up to you to know if you wanna risk it :wink:

Hi there,
As a total newbie in the mobile world i was wondering the following:
As the models MDA C3, HTC P3300, SPV M650, etc etc are, lets say, the same underneath the skin, is it possible to put an original HTC rom onto my (CID unlocked) SPV M650.
It's got this annoying Orange Logo on it.
Regards,
Gerwin
if u'r cid unlocked yes
hm.. now that you're asking...
i used the imei unlock. Now it's sim-unlocked, but does that make ik cid-unlocked too?
if U used www.imei-check.co.uk (U recieved YOURIMEI.unl file and used c3unlock.exe-or newest is c3v2unlock.exe) yes u made your PDA CIDunlocked. Is this what U wanted to hear? I hope so.
btw. if u used other unlock company sorry i cannot help U
Ah, great.
This is what i wanted to hear. I've downloaded the latest HTC rom. So now i can get rid of the last Orange-stuff
I used an other unlock-comp (unlockthatmobile, more expensive, but same technique, dont ask why).
second question... is there anyway to 'dump' my current ROM in case i want a fall-back situation?
It's a dutch orange spv m650 rom.

No, that is not possible. Even if it was, you could not restore your device with this dump ROM.
ah.. in short... dumping a rom (to a pda) is a one-way trip...
there is no 'way back'. installing the new rom is like a way back.
i see... thanx
For all who're interested...
It worked !!!

Waldo wants to know how the ROM compares to the original Orange ROM. Most of the time it is that the alternative ROMs are in English, some people feel more at home with an English version. Secondly, alternative ROMs might be newer, and therefore have less bugs. And you won't have that Orange logo anymore. But its your own choice, of course.
p.s. This is an English forum, you have to write everything in English. Just 'regards' is not good enough.
Hi,
Could someone point me where I can downloaded the latest HTC rom for a P3300?
Thanks in advance

Hi all,
I am SO eager to buy an O2 XDA Orbit 2 from Germany but I am kinda a bit too uneasy...
I will need to re-flash an English ROM to it. Either O2 UK's or HTC Touch Cruise's.
Does anyone know for sure that it can be done by simply re-flashing the ROM? No extra hacks needed?
And are these English ROMs available on the net yet?
Thanks a whole lot to all the gurus here in advance!
This is the info you need:

This is the file you need:
ftp://xda:[email protected]_radio_sign_25.65.30.04_1.58.21.23_Ship.exe
Thanks a lot!
Sorry, there is too much said in that thread, I don't think I'll find the answer to this one:
"Does anyone know for sure that it can be done by simply re-flashing the ROM? No extra hacks needed?"
I mean that I used to re-flash ROM upgrades to my Atom Life "just like that".
What if this ROM doesn't accept the Device ID of the German Orbit 2?
A number of users have flashed this rom on orbit II after hard spl and seems to be working fine. but i suggest you spend a couple of minutes going over the thread in any case. it's always useful.
do hardspl from olipro the geatest.
flash ROM
UR now fully WWE
PS: backup UR cab files from original rom first (operator settings....) they are in \windows\ - Polaris doesnt have extRom.
Apparently it seems that you will have to hard SPL to flash. But is is quite simple, so don't worry ;-)
(sorry, dupe of phsnake's post above. He beat me by 2 minutes ;-0 )

Don't worry, mate, I did just that two days ago. I had bought an XDA Orbit2 from O2 Germany and I hated the German ROM (actually I hate localized software even though English is not my mother tongue).
So what you do is really simple and there is no chance anything to go wrong:
1) Install HardSPL from olipro (you can find it in this forum somewhere)
2) Install the official (not the dumped one) WWE (World Wide English) ROM from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=368123
And that's it! Enjoy a "native" interface!
Later on you will be able to upgrade to any ROM by simply installing it over the previous one. The HardSPL step you do only once
O2 XDA Orbit II : cannot overwrite WWE on German, wrong vendor ID
Hi ingenious,
I need to use my XDA device in English as my German is too poor to be able to use German softwares.
I've tried steps you have described but still I am unable to write Polaris WWE on my O2 XDA Orbit II device. Can you help me?
Please give me your number at [email protected] so I could call you back for step by step guidance.
Where do you live in Saarbrücken? I've also studied in Uni SB 2002-2005 and now I live in Berlin.
I have all the files download from this forum, whoever has said something about download .
Also I have "Hard-SPL" , "Hard-SPL-V7" and "RUU_Polaris_HTC_WWE_1.25.405.1_radio_sign_25.65.30.04_1.58.21.23_Ship.exe".
What else do I need?
Thank you in advance for your help.

Hi all,
Im back after a very long time because.
I buyed after a very long time a htc touch hd...
well its not new, the guy were i buyed from used it for 1week and didn't liked the touchscreen. He told me he received it as a present for xmas and stuff like that.
Now is my Question: i want to flash my rom because its WM 6.1 and i heared alot of great things about WM 6.5 is that trough ?
Also if i flash my HTC TOUCH HD, will my simlock dissapear or something ?
Cause on my last phones it was, i flashed it and i needed to unlock it again and more headache.
Is it normal that the simlock will reactivate if its flashed to WM6.5 ??
If the htc still unlocked.
Which ROM you all will advice me ? i really prefer Dutch roms, but english roms are also oke.
and also tell me why, so i can get all the benefits of it
Im not a beginner in flashing of phones but flashing of HTC's i am.
I only did it once as far as i can remember and that was on a P3300 a very old model, So if there is also a little manual i will be very thankfull.
Thank you all,

Hi biggie89,
Yes, the good news is that there have been many advancements and improvements to the Windows Mobile OS in version 6.5, such as having a more finger friendly User Interface - providing you with a much neater and tidy user experience. Speed varies depending on which 6.5/6.5.x ROM you choose to install and you will be glad to know that both Dutch and English ROMs are available for download
The bad news is that if you flash your HD in it's current state (simlocked), then I am afraid that this is unlikely to work until you get your SIM unlocked as the simlock is controlled by the baseband. Data is stored there too and flashing the radio or ROM will not have any effect on the simlock. Therefore, I would advise you to have it unlocked before you begin the flashing process.
Here is a guide that you can read to make you more aware of how to flash a Touch HD ROM. Essentially, what you must do first is unlock your phone using either Hard-SPL or USPL.
You can also see this link as it details what the latest ROM builds offer in terms of stability and performance.
I think it would be a little unfair to say which ROM is best especiallly for the people who create these custom ROMs. Each ROM is different in their own little way i.e. one ROM might be fast but a little unstable, another may be stable but a little slow, etc... The best thing you can do is try out different ROMs (Dutch or English versions) yourself and try to discover which one meets your needs.
Note: when you get to the stage of downloading a ROM, to find a Dutch based ROM, simply look at the headings of the ROMs listed from this link. Dutch ROMs include the abbreviation NLD in their title [NLD = Netherlands], and English ROMs have WWE in the title [WWE = World Wide English].
I hope this helps you out.
Regards.
Mastoid is correct. Flashing to a new rom, even if you use hspl, will unfortunately not unlock the sim.
There are tools that can do that, but it is not free. You can try this one which seems to be popular and effective.
Hi all and thanks for your reply on my message..
My htc HD works now with my vodafone NL simcard so its not simlocked or something i think i wrote my question wrong..
Im scared if i FLash my rom that the unlocking of my device comes back, So i can't use my vodafone NL simcard with it.
Is that possible ??
the current state is unlocked or locked with vodafone i dont know for sure but you guys tell me that if i FLASH my rom now i still can use my vodafone NL simcard ???
if that is the way i will flash my rom in to a nice ROM that u guys told me to do..
the thing what i want to is..
USE my vodafone NL simcard with my htc touch HD like now but with a different ROM.
my htc touch HD is working great with WM 6.1 with a vodafone NL simcard.
so im still confused with the simcard if it will work.
do you guys think that it will work with WM6.5 ??

Flashing a rom does not affect the status of the simcard so it will still work. Just follow the Dummies Guide (link by Mastoid above) and you'll be fine
