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?

[turbominor]

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

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

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.
