Anyone managed to upgrade Orange M600 to Imate Rom?

Has anyone managed to upgrade a Orange M600 to the Imate Rom using the ROMUpdateUtility.exe on this forum?

yes, i used imei check to unlock and and set the cid, then used the latest imate rom (2.13.9.23 WWE)
It is much faster in general use and i am sure the screen redraw in tomtom 5 is smoother. other added bonus is no more orange branding!
You can use a modified RUU utility that is posted here bypass the need to change the cid, but you will still be simlocked

Thanks, hopefully my M600 is in the post at the moment

Would like help
I also have a UK orange M600 locked to Orange and would like to put the I-Mate rom onto it.
What files to I need to get.
What is cid
Do I need to have my phone unlocked 1st.
Could someone please give me a step by step how to instruction on how the process is done.
Is it totally successful in all ways.ie does everything work.
Can I make a backup of the original rom.
Many thanks in advance
Stephen

Got my M600 today and flashed it straight to the Imate Rom. Always prefered the Imate software.
No you dont need to unlock the phone before flashing. just search the forum for the guide and file needed to flash any Rom. Very easy.

Does it work
Ok
Does it all work ok ie
Bluetooth
WiFi
Ird
Internet
MSN
What was the name of the file or files u used and how did you do it

Orange SPV C600 Application Unlock

Hi Peeps,
I have been researching many websites without any luck. I am new to Windows Mobile devices and looking for some assistance in Application Unlocking the C600/Tornado.
I have seen some posts about flashing it with the Imate ROM. The phone itself is sim unlocked however I am trying to install some third party applications and it is stating I don't have enough permissions.
I have tried various Registry editors but they won't install.
Can anyone help?
Edit:
I have tried using the HTC Unlocker. It states unable to open regedit.exe. I have also tried SDA_Applicationunlock.exe I get the message "Phone is not unlockable".
This is driving me crazy, can anyone help.
Cheers

unlocking spv c600
Hey guys
I have followed the above steps to unlock my phone, and I'm still gettting an "Invalid Sim card" error.
I have tried just about every unlocking app or method there is, and still no luck. I have a new SPV C600 which I got on an Orange contract about a year ago. And it's security locked so I can't edit the registry, and I can't install any certificates either.
And though I tried the 1, 2, 3 step method above, and tho it told me it was successfull on all 3 steps, my O2 sim card still doesn't work.
Waahhaaaa....
help please

plzzzzzz help me with my spv c600
GUYz MY PROBLEM IS HUGE. I AM STUCKED ON A THREE COLOUR SCREEN ON MY SPV C600 CEEL WHILE I WAS TRYING TO UPGRADE IT. THE ONLY ROM THAT SEEMS TO WORK , ONLY STOP AT 2% (WM5) DURING THE PROCESS. WAT SHLD I DO. I HAVE BEEN ON THIS FOR ABOUT 2WEEKS. PLZZZZZZ HEP [email protected] IS MA EMAIL

Seems like the same story over and over again... sigh.
You first must get access to the old OS again. As you have not succeeded in doing any upgrade yet, the old OS should still be there. Do a hard-reset:
1.) switch off
2.) press l+r softkey + keep pressed until a next step tells to release them
3.) switch on device
4.) wait for white screen with advice on hard-reset, release L+R softkeys
5.) press key for hard-reset (should be 0)
Device reboots to old OS.
When old OS is up you MUST(!) application unlock the device before you can do anything else. The Orange devices are especially resistant to allow this crucial first step. I have no such device, but key to success is that SDA Application unlock tells that your device is successfully unlocked.
Look for C600 Unlock to find dedicated instructions.
Mind that after the application Unlock you need also the CID Unlock and (if SIM locked) also the SIM Unlock. All is possible for free, so no need to spend money for that.

New version Sp5?

I was trying to flash my sp5 which i just bought and I am using Kar Hoe's guide. I got to step 3 when I had an error. When trying to application unlock the phone,once i pressed remove lock a prompt saying phone is not unlockable appeared. Therefore i figured it was already application unlocked but yet when i tries to install the spv files from step4 it said i needed permission so i am wondering if the tool is obsolete for my phone because of some new firmware maybe. In any case please help as i cant wait to use WM6.

WST 4.2.2 Unlock problem on E650

Hey Everybody,
I have a problem unlocking my Orange SPV E650 using Wizard Service Tool.
-Hard reset the device
-I copy CERT_spcs.cab and EnableRapi.cab to my device
-I install both files (CERT_Spcs.cab won't install: "not intended for this
device"?
-I open WST 4.2.2 and click "Repair IMEI".
-The "Repair IMEI-box" opens and show nothing (in both fields)
I've tried this with different ROM's (VOX, E650, S710).
I've also tried different "unlocking CAB's" (RemoveSecurity.cab, SdkCerts.cab)
I've also tried it with "Microsoft Security Configuration Manager" (this works)
Problems:
-I can't alter IMEI
-So, I can't unlock the phone from Orange
When I boot the phone in bootloader-mode it shows:
------------------------------
VOX WIFI
ONBL 1.35.0000 LG
VOX
------------------------------
SPL 1.35.0000
VOX IU
------------------------------
CPLD - 04
USB
------------------------------
I really don't understand what is wrong with this thing.
I have already unlocked a few S710's this way, and it worked flawlessly.
Does anyone have any idea what's wrong?
BTW: I have a good working (unlocked-) S710 laying around here.
Is it an option to make something like a "full backup" of that one,
and write it to the E650?
Thanks you for any help!
BR,
Bart

There is a unlock thread here, where it tells you what exactly you need to do. It comes with a small "donation" though.

Hi!
Thanks for the fast reply.
I have already unlocked so many phones, that I just won't have it that I cannot unlock this one for free; it's like a sport ;-)
Apart from that, I have already unlocked multiple phones of this (hardware-)
model, so I would really like to do it myself, with maybe a little bit of help.
I have already read all unlocking threads, and my problem is not mentioned, that is why I placed this post.
For money you can unlock anything, but it's just no fun... ;-)
BR,

Oh, OK I see your point. Just don't brick it...

LOL, I'll try not to... ;-)
Any hints on my problem?
Thanks in advance,
BR

as its an orange e650 -same as i have
i found i couldnt flash a new rom as it was locked
all i did first was install Orange debrand pack from Modaco forum and voila! lets you flash!!
maybe thats why you have unlocked other 710's as yours isnt a 710 yet its a E650!
hope that helps-worth a go

Hi,
Thanks for the input.
I'm not trying to flash a new ROM - that works.
I'm trying to sim unlock the phone...
BR
Bart

do you have uspl the phone?

What he tries has nothing to do with USPL. He tries to remove the SIM-Lock, which prevents you to use a different SIM-card.

Hello Frauhottelmann,
Thanks for sorting that out ;-)

i want to upgrade an imate sp5m

hello everyone
i want to upgrade a imate sp5m to wm6
i have used this karhoe.net/guide-upgrading-htc-tornado-to-windows-mobile-6
but i go stuck on step5 spv site is not working anymore
can someone please give me a tutorial to a working guide with the newest wm6.x what is possible for this phone
so that i can upgrade to windows mobile 6.x??
thank you

Karhoe's guide is the bes,t always stick to it. If you like WM standard then you can try Gregory's mw6.5 it is quite stable and good(may be best). If you want to try on a Pro one then Kamikadze's mw6.1 Pro is very stable, fast and wonderful. I personally have good experience with both on my sp5m.
But never try to flash before SuperCID, never run format ALL. First you read all the risk associated, otherwise your phone will become a paperweight (expensive paperweight). Good luck

how can i superCOD it ?? spv-services don't work

i have the same problem
can anybody help us ????????

There are reports about an offline tooling for putting the SuperCID on the device. It seems to be designed for the Wizard originally but also reported working for other devices, including the Tornado.
Look up this forum and search for "lokiwiz02_173.zip".
I have not done this myself as my device is already SuperCID.
So you are doing this at your own risk.

Hi,
it seems that you have not read very well the karhoe guide...
bye
* If you cannot use SPV-Developers SuperCID tools, download this tool and use the alternative method. Then do the following.
- Keep your Tornado connected to ActiveSync.
- Extract it with WinRAR etc.
- Open the Lokiwiz.exe
- When you opend the Lokiwiz.exe you will get a black DOS screen with 4 options:
U. Unlock
L. Lock
C. Cid Unlock (SuperCID)
Q. Quit
Press C and then Enter. A few seconds later your phone is SuperCID...!!!
