Orange M500 Rom

Hi been browsing the site for ages now, and thought that i'd register and post my first question.
I have a s100 with an orange sim card, and was wondering if anyone has a Orange M500 rom, and if so is it worth upgrading to get all the orange stuff??
Cheers All
Dahquim

Just went from original orange rom (SPV M500) to the 1.12 Qtek rom and i don't have the feeling i'm missing anything.
To be honest i didn't even bother to backup the original rom, not worth the disk space.

But does the M500 rom not include BT voice dialling?

I have an Orange M500 and upgraded to a Qtek 1.12 ROM I forgot to backup my original M500 rom! is it possible for someone to upload to the xda-ftp!
Thanx!

Could someone detail what is in the Orange ROM that that isn't in the (eg) i-Mate ROM.
Would I be right in assuming that the Orange ROM takes up more space than the i-Mate ?

Operator version 6.06.1.175
rom version 1.06.00 wwe
rom date 01/06/05
radio version 1.05.10
protocol version 1337.39
ext rom version 1.06.175
Thats the details from my M500 rom.
I am actualy suprised that it is not branded "orange" to the eyeballs.
If you want the rom uploaded, post a link to the tool and i will upload it tonight.

if the M500 is the same as my c500 then there is no native send via bluetooth support. On my c500 i used Smart explorer which has the option to send via bluetooth. Don't think there is a ppc version available. Maybe try resco. I was getting to grips with my m500, until i combined it with a pint of water and now its a dead machine, waiting for tests from the mobileshop!

okay, i found out how to do it....and its bizzar!
you beam it, like IR.
its odd, i phoned up orange and they didnt have a clue, if you turn off beam in connections it wont allow you to send or recive files.

I have a QTEK 8300, same as the Imate SP5m. I downloaded and installed the SP5m ROM (found it via search of this web site), don't have the link any longer. It's much better than the original QTEK Rom, and this one is a lot faster than the previous Mobile 5 ROM that came on the device.

UPDATE: I just loaded the current QTEK ROM for the 8300 (find it on this forum); it's great; much faster than the Imate SP5m I had installed previously. E shows vs. G when connected to an Edge network.

has anyone got a qtek rom with spanish language on it??? that's the only reason why i still have the imate rom... or any way to get the t9 in spanish to add it??

nevermind... found out by myself:

HTC uses Dopod as their brand in Asia. For example:
Dopod 577W = Qtek 8310
Dopod C500 = HTC S710 = SPV E650

Thx anyway

It's available for S710 and E650, but you should cid unlock your phone first. BTW, it's English and Chinese duo-language supported.

It looks like the VOX is builded on same base as Tornado so it should work just flash it... did somebody try it?

You joking, Vox got 128M flash rom but Tornado only 64M.

moved to Vox.

Doen't work on qtek 8300
I get an update error message?
I can't get it to work on my qtek 8300
any ideas ?

Did anyone use this ROM upgrade yet? Care to post your findings?

I tried on a french E650 and got the "Invalid Vendor ID" error message. I'm looking how to CID unlock it.

this rom is not for your phone.

i flashed to this rom because i found my vox to be too slow for my liking. so far it seems stable. the only problem that i have encountered is that the overclocking program wont run now.
i had to cid unlock my device. i used imei-check.uk and all went well (after they made me send a copy of my license to verify who i am). the install went smooth. the device seems slightly quicker when switching screen orientation while in the messaging application. not fast, but a little quicker. my device would take several seconds before and sometimes it would freeze while doing this.
if i encounter any problems i will make note of it here.

Anyone try this with blackberry connect? Is this a new rom than what the htc vox (non-branded) shipped with?

it is a newer rom version than the one that shipped with my unbranded s710. i dont use the blackberry connect software, sorry

interesting. i hope someone will cook the rom, to make it available with all the must:
TCPMP, live messenger, etc
Right now I stay on my SFR S710 rom, as i debrand it with modaco ' s stuff, and customized it like i wanted.
We'll see what this rom as to offer.

ROM extract problems
Hi I tried to extract this ROM with imgfs tools but at the last step (the bin extract) i get this message :
unknown header type , FS_data_table??
May be the ROM is protected?

I just tried to flash my unbranded HTC Vox and I am getting the following:
ERROR [294]: INVALID VENDER ID
This is really weird, I thought unbranded phones were all CID unlocked? Is that erro because it is locked? I was hoping to load this up becase my vox is a little slow too, but mostly because I was hoping that it fixes the continous reboot problem with microsd card. I have tried to clear out the notifications and that hasn't fixed the reboot problem.
Any ideas?

Damm, they want $38 to unlock the phone...what happened to those free CID unlockers on the older phones. Any way to do this for free? Hehehe. Do you like the new rom? Want to make sure it's worth it....

ER....Just thinking about it it's the real HTC S710(/VOX/Orange SPV E650 ) ROM? Right?
Not Tornado (C600?) ?
This one has all the stuff ready (Windows Live, etc) ?
Is there French inside? Or only English? I don't bother English, but I prefere French

What's that? Is it shareware or freeware?

I installed it. Working fine, miss the theme with small types though. The fonts look kind of big and crappy, i think maybe cleartype is not enabled but I can not figure out a way to turn it on.

I thought ClearType was only available on PPC??

no matter which version I download; i can't flash it onto my i780 because of mein Austrian IMEI. Is there any way to get the eboot+phone part onto my device? I am still running puhe1 from a russion rom, but i am planning to use a wm6.5 image for the PDA Part (possibly 23071 cooked version).
the newest one i could find is from january PDXHL2 - is this one new enough?

downgrade to Windows Mobile 6.0

I habe some problems with Windows Mobile 6.1
it is slow, freez,....
i want to downgrade it to Windows Mobile 6.0 but i dont have the rom.
i need the wm6.0 in german and for T-Mobile Germany
Where can i download it?
A silly question:
How can i register me in the HTC EClub when i have a TMobile Branded "Serial Number" ? Is there a hack? I want to have all updates when the downgrad is not possible.
sorry for my bad english

In my opinion it's not possible to register a non HTC branded device at HTC e-club, because they use different serial numbers. But you can get nearly all updates from there here in the forum.

i'm not sure if there is a german for 6.0 on here
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Kaiser_ROMs
try searching. but I don't see why you have trouble with wm6.1. WM6.1 is a lot more stable and smoother than wm6.0 in my opinion. If you have freezes, that might be due to your SPL not upgrading. All the upgrades you want is on a WM6.1. I have a tilt and I can't register on eclub either. Thats why we have the connections to xda developer community.

I am not sure if the ROM would work but even if it did you would flash some stuff you don´t need like the files for the slideout QWERTY keyboard or the scroll wheel and the front camera.
Anyway if you haven´t found this already yourself, I´d try going through this thread Jade Official ROM links

You need the specific ROM for Device to flash, otherwise all you will have is a brick...
Check the HTC Touch 3g WIKI and subforum and i'm sure you will find what you need.

When I bought my tilt on ebay, it was sluggish, and sometimes non-repsonsive on win 6.1. I did a lot of reading, and decided to flash a rom from xda. I found that my phone had been flashed before, it had olipro's first spl. After I went to jockyw2001 3.29 spl and flashed Sakajati's Rhodium, it was like night and day. It was like "can this phone really be so cool?" I've been upgrading roms ever since. Like one poster indicated, the spl might be your problem. IMHO, you'll not find any better roms than what is cooked at XDA, superior to stock in so many ways.
Good Success to Ya!
