XDa orbit....

Hi all,
just received my new orbit details below;
ROM 1.25.206.2 WME
ROM date 10/04/06
Radio version 02.67.90
Protocol 4.1.13.28
ExtROM 1.25.206.101
Running WM5 with messaging and security feature pack
Questions
I like to use my PDA as phone, gps, IE and run a lot of reference applications off the SD card. In view of this should I consider swapping the ROM (cooking?)
If you think yes to this can you advise why please....
Many thanks
Pete

if it is xda/o2 branded, then yes.
their roms are horribly slow and don't include anything you can't get elsewhere imo

Yes it is o2 branded, but I'm running it on Orange, can you suggest which ROM? I agree it is very slow compared to my Mini S, but it's thinner and lighter, so not all bad!!
Thanks
Pete

sorry, i have no idea which rom to flash, i don't even know if there are any custom artemis roms, so check in that forum if you haven't already. if none exist, i would check all the sites which sell it rebranded, t-mobile/dopod etc. but they probably won't have any if there are no upgrades.

No ROMs as of now..do not flash any ROM on Orbit or u will lose it...

you should get a CID unlock first from imei-check.co.uk
but I would not upgrade anything till O2 release a rom for the Orbit cause you wont have anything to fall back on otherwise.
BTW the O2 rom for the Orbit is not that bad its a lot lighter then the last few releases of O2 software.

Fuze randomly reinstalling Windows Mobile?

Alright, after updating to RRE V8 RC1, I've been having instability with my Windows Mobile OS. The phone would randomly crash for no apparent reason. When I would restart the phone, I would get the Windows Mobile Install prompt. I resorted to reverting back to RRE V2.1 which was the ROMs previous version I was operating on before performing the update. Sometimes after turning the phone off, I would get an error message complaining about my settings being corrupt. I have flashed to various versions of RRE and other Windows Mobile ROMs. Please, can anyone help? I don't believe the ROM is at fault. It sounds more like an issue with my internal storage. Any way I could possibly remedy the situation? The phone is only 2 months old .

I can't seem to access my phone to fetch my PIM Backup data either. >_<

You need to flash the stock 6.1 ROM first, then flash the WM6.5 ROM you want (RRE v8 or any other one).
I've had this problem with a CDMA Diamond and my Fuze. It doesn't happen every time, but when it does, the only way to fix it is by installing the stock ROM first.

Ah! Thank you so much for your quick response, man. This has been killing me soooo much. I guess I'll go ahead and check up on the wiki for the link. I'm really grateful .

A bit to Newbie Here!

Hi Guys,
I am totally new to this Android stuff but I love it and would love to learn about it. I have just bought an HTC Magic (32A) which has a logo of TIM on it. It has firmware version 1.4 and the build number is 2.15.901.4.
What I want to do is upgrade my phone to the latest version of Android, and also have the Sense UI installed in it. But I do not know where to start or what to look for. Can somebody here, kindly, briefly describe how can I achieve my target or atleast point me in the right direction.
Regards,
Kamil Waheed

P.S you need to root it, flash the new radio, SPL and recovery and then flash a ROM of your choice which is for the new radio. (2.1 Sense ROMs for the new radio are better than those for the old one(3.22)

Thanks for your reply.
Yea, I know I should google it but googling didn't help a bit. I am a bit too confused right now.
I have found a few tutorials on how to root it.
After that, how to flash the new radio. Instead, I should ask, what is radio?
What is SPL and how to flash that?
What is recovery and how to flash that?
Which ROM should I flash to? Can you also give me a link to one?
I am sorry, but I know nothing about Android. A little more help would be appreciated.

It might help to read this first.

[Q] Available FOTA update disappeared in some days

About 1 week ago when I checked for update manually I got the message there is. (2 small ones and after a bigger one). Several people installed it (talked to them on internet). Some days later I wanted to install it and it says there is no available. I contacted HTC but I have not got any useful answer. T-mobile Hungary. Actual one: 1.28.401.1. The update would be: 1.47.401.4.
Could anyone help me what the problem could be?

This update was peace of s....We all have now broken WIFI, that is why it dissapeared...

Up to now none of the people who intalled the update and I am in contact has noticed WIFI problem. I asked again them about it.

In Poland, on T-mobile phones, all users have broken WIFI, HTC claims to repair it soon

2-3 people answered my question up to now. Nobody has problem. It is very strange.

I also got the update message, so I downloaded the update, but when installing it my phonescreen shows an error..
Update ( 1.47.401.4 (35.39)) is still there and ready to download/install on my phone.

Based on your posts above, it seems you guys haven't changed your ROMs to any Custom ones.. Just a quick question though, has anyone of you experienced the so-called Wi-Fi Death Grip? I trying to find ways to fix it. Please check here.

Now I got the info about the available update automatically. But I am not sure I should install it. Has the previous problem of update been solved?

Rollback from Nougat (EMUI 5.0) to Marshmallow (EMUI 4.0)

Hey guys,
I have a big problem with my Mate 8. My build number was NXT-L29 C636 B170 and I never got any updates, because I was using this asian build with a european SIM-card. Because of these annoying notification bugs B170 has and because I was about to factory reset my phone I thought about updating it manually.
Tried to understand how all this works and started to do a small OTA update first to test if it's that easy. With the B180 from the screenshot of FF below I easily managed to update my phone.
What I tried next is to go to Android 7.0, so I used the selected blue FullOTA-MF-PV. My phone updated successfully and works really smooth, but now I see "NRD90M test-keys" as build number. I read a lot of bad things about this version because it seems to be a really early and bugged beta version and thats not what I need. I already wanted to try a factory reset but also read that you should completely avoid doing that.
I want to go back before anything unsuspected happens to my phone. My updater has gone, so I cannot install anything else. Can anyone explain for a newbie how to get back to my previous build?
Was it wrong to use the PV version?
What I want to reach then is an updated version of my phone software as a stable version.
Hope anyone can save my phone
Thanks in advance
