Orange SPVm500 upgrade drama!

[lyrick]

Lately I tried to upgrade my orange spv m500 to the newest rom upgrade available; One was made available by orange on the dutch site www.pocketpcclub.nl.
As I was installing the file the setup proces stopped while trying to upgrade the extended rom.
I tried and tried again, but to no afail. In my dispair i tried to upgrade with a spanish q-tek 1.11 rom. I ofcourse got the country code error and the wrong device id error......

I brought my spv m500 back to the shop; but the technicians couldnt replace the original extended rom.
So now im left with a spv without extended ROM.....

My device settings now are
Radio version: 1.12.00
Protocol version: 1337.42
Rom version: 1.12.00 WWE
ExtroM version: (empty field)

I still cant upgrade to the latest Extrom version............
Can anyone help me? Is it still possible to put back a working Ext rom?

Is it a UK M500?

Did you back the original rom up before upgrading?

Have you looked on the ftp site for the original m500 rom?

It's a NL rom(dutch) but I believe it has pretty much the same settings as the UK Version(few exceptions for GPRS settings I believe)

I havent found a original SPV M500 rom that comes with dutch settings.....So I would be very thankfull if somebody could upload such a version to the xda-ftp site.......

Hello,

In the upload directory is the new rom for the SPV M500 Dutch. It is the real Dutch version. After you flash your Magician it has all the settings voor Orange NL even the location is already pre selected.

It's a modified rom for the Imate- Jam, modified by Orange.

If you use the Maupgrade_NoID.exe it will falsh every magician I guess.

It works on my MDA Comapact (PM10A). :)

And in case that doesn't work, I have the Extended_ROM directory (Dutch) on my pc, so if you want I can send it to you.
(Though I don't think I'll be checking this forum too often, so send an email to draexin AT gmail DOT com)

Good luck ^_^
