New SPV M3100 Upgrade posted to Orange UK

[petes]

Haven't installed it yet, but the official (WM5) Orange SPV M3100 upgrade is at http://www.business.orange.co.uk/servlet/Satellite?pagename=Business&c=OUKPage&cid=1044134915191

[deika95]

yes !!!!! it will be the good time, after 5 months, for my update problems dear pof ? Thanks

[jpxdude]

Downloading!

This is exciting, but i'm afraid to replace the WM6 I have on my M3100...

Would this remove the superCID etc?

[crazyC]

Any news on what radio is in there (if any)

[revmark]

Anyone installed this yet from the Orange website? If so, how does it compare?

Mark.

[mickc]

I'm currently using a french orange 3100. if i install this english rom will my OS change to english (i want it in englis but dont want wm6 just yet))

I'm assuming after installing it i have to use one of the keyboard hacks and change my internet setting/

[petes]

OK : Just did a quick test....

Radio : 1.38.00.01
Protocol : 32.71.7020.12H
Rom : 2.11.61.6 (23/3/07)
Build : 15673.3.3.1
ipl : 1.01
spl : 1.09

Interesting the radio is 1.38.00.0.1 - i.e. quite old. I wonder if this has been tweaked for Orange - it's the same as the one in the French rom. I might try installing this radio to see how it goes.

[mousey_]

Woop Woop,

This Is What I've Been Waiting For.

@jpxdude No It Won't Replace Your SuperCID

No More Warranty Issues.

Hi guys,
I am using Wm6 Black 2.5 (OLIPRO 2.10) on my M3100 and when I am trying to install this update (BTW, it is a WM6 ROM ? ) I get an error from the RUU application that it cannot connect to the device (ERR 260). I have installed the Vista drivers and I don't know what to do ( I have read the guides and read the forum). Thanks in advance for any advice!

Mihai

My device is reporting 2.11.61.1 (23/3/07), Operator version 14.211.1.611.

If you tell me how to work out the Ext. Rom version number I'll have a look and report that too.

[andymiller6891]

so what rom would i need to install first in order to be able to install this update??? i am running black 2.5 also but want to go back to the orange preloaded version.

I have the same error as well. Is it because I have used hermes unlocker v3a to my M3100?

[pof]

all those with 26x error, not able to update... extract the NBH file from the rom, then use CustomRUU (see stickies) to flash it.

[stukes]

erm ..... "official (WM5) Orange SPV M3100 upgrade " ..... the (WM5) is a clue here

@PETE that is not the reason the upgrade is not running. He can just FLASH Olipro1.10 which is 1.04 based then flash this ROM. However the 260error is not coming from the device. It is coming from the PC. I do not have a VISTA machine so maybe someone else shed some light. He should also search the threads for that error because it has been mentioned numerous times before.:eek:

Sorry - I guess I should have been more clear - my WM5 comment was in response to his question "BTW, it is a WM6 ROM?"

Doh - fat fingers on my part - it's 2.11.61.1 as you say. Apologies.

[YunaFF102]

I tried to install the new M3100 ROM downloaded from the Orange page, and at the step before the M3100's screen goes tricolor, it got resetted and disconnected from my PC. The next thing I know I got an error saying "Your phone is not connected to your PC blah blah". Am I missing something here?:confused:

P.S: I dont have a craddle, the phone is connected using USB cable.

[mrvanx]

Have you done any upgrades on the device at all?? (such as HardSPL or a new radio)

[YunaFF102]

I did unlock the phone (was locked to Orange of course) using the tool posted on this forum. It does involve some ROM changing doesn't it? I'm kinda new to this.

[pof]

@YunaFF102: read comment #15

Here You Go People.

If You've Had A Problem With The ROM Not Being Accepted

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=Q9YR81AS

I've Extracted The .nbh File From The Orange ROM Posted And Packaged It With Olipros Latest RUU Wrapper So It Should Now Install Perfectly Well.

Cheers

[crazyC]

Cheers Mousey

Have you tried it?

Might install it just to see .....

[Exzes]

I am currently running WM6 Black edition, with HardSPL and an updated radio installed...

But, due to fascia and WAP problems, Orange have said I can return the handset to them for free and get a new phone. I'm thinking that if they see I have flashed to WM6 they will return it and say I fluffed it up.

If I rolled back to WM5 with this ROM, would my warranty and everything with Orange be perfectly fine, and they wouldn't be able to see that I used WM6?

[mousey_]

@Exzes You Should Be Ok If You Flash Back To This New Orange ROM, You Will Want To Check 'Force Using SSPL' Not Autodect To Allow You To Downgrade The SPL To The Orange Original One.

The Only Problem You May Have Is If They Look At Your CID And You Have Super CIDd Your Device. But 9/10 I Guess They Won't So Flash And Return It.

Cheers

[Exzes]

Sweet as, Mousey, thanks.

Is there any way to get rid of SuperCID? I'll send it back regardless, just don't want them moaning at me.

which radio do u have now?

[Exzes]

which radio do u have now?

1.41.00.10, that's still with WM6 Black. If you meant after rolling back to this Orange upgrade, I won't know until I get home as I can't do it on the work PC.

[pof]

1.41.00.10

that has htc_boot 0108, so you can't go back to your original CID.

[Exzes]

that has htc_boot 0108, so you can't go back to your original CID.

Bugger. Thanks anyway. They're couriering my new phone tomorrow morning, so it means I'll get the phone before they get mine anyway, so nothing much they can do hopefully.

[Exzes]

Infact, you seem pretty clued up...

If I downgrade to this Orange ROM, will I still need to use MrVanx's downgrade guide?

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=304926

Or is it all fine using Orange's info?

[mousey_]

@Exzes

No, Just Use The Download I Uploaded And Click Force SSPL, You Have To Do This Otherwise Your IPL And SPL Won't Be Downgraded

Cheers

[Exzes]

Sorted.

I'm not an idiot, honestly.

Thanks for the help mate.

[crazyC]

I just thought I would try this out and then revert back to black (Have become a serial Flasher....) - So I just run Mousey's file and don't click force SSPL (cos I don't want to mess with anything other than the os)?

[mousey_]

@crazyC

Im Not Sure About That, I Think You May Get An Error. The Best Thing You Can Do Is, Download Dutty's NBH Tool DeCompile The .nbh File In My File, And Then Create A New .nbh File With Just The OS And ExtRom In It.

Cheers

[jpxdude]

Extracted NBH, flashed with customRUU to keep spl/ipl intact. Works a treat :) Very stable!

[casebase]

Thankfully I've done nothing to my ROM since I got the phone (bit confused by everything above!). Just want to know if there are likely to be any stability improvements with this new ROM?

Thanks

[jpxdude]

Personally this rom feels a heck of a lot more stable than the original WM5 rom my unit shipped with. It's quite solid navigating around, and there are rarely any kind of freezing.

[bigpapalove]

Does anyone running the new Orange ROM have a list of differences between it and the latest HTC ROM?

I'm running the HTC at the mo and its been fine until a couple of days ago, where the Start menu keeps opening and closing for no reason, and the screen doesn't work, etc.. so was going to reflash the HTC, but would the Orange be a better option?

Cheers,
Bobby

[AndyOT]

The only difference that I can see is that I now have a 'never ask again' option when I switch on the camera and it prompts me about where I'd like to store the images! Maybe it's more stable but frankly, the old rom didn't freeze that much anyway..

Are Orange coming out with a WM6 update? If so, why would they bother with this WM5 update?

Andy

[aqm5181]

Can anyone confirm if this rom has fixed the dpad bug (where you cant press in more than one direction at any one time?)

Looking to upgrade but dont think its worth it unless above bug is fixed as current rom is pretty rock solid for me.

Thanks

[Amibu]

If i only SIM unlocked my SPV using pof's unlocker version 3, must i do something different than just use the install from the official site?
Can i use the SIM unlocker again after the update?
The OS stops responding sometimes and needs a soft reset, which is quite annoying; hope this update makes it more stable.

Thanks!

I don't have much time to read all the post on the forum, i need short answers to avoid any possible problem.

[Amibu]

Can anyone clarify the situation for me?

[jpxdude]

Personally what I did was sim unlock using pof's utility and also apply Oli's hard SPL to protect my unit when flashing. When I downloaded the orange rom, I extracted it using win-rar (right-click -> extract to folder) then downloaded the CustomRUU file also. I took the .nbh file from the extract, and put it in the same dir as the CustomRUU.exe file, run it, and installed from it using the autodetect for hardSPL. That now allows me to run this rom, keep the sim unlocked, and give me easy potential to switch to different roms when I feel like it.

[Amibu]

Thanks, dude! :)

Hi, I’ve got an Orange SPV m3100, which I’ve managed to brick, partially.

Whilst attempting an upgrade of the firmware from Orange (April 07 Release) I disengaged the USB cable at 16%. :(

My device is now stuck at the bootloader, I completed the "recovery" part of the Orange ROM program which reported recovery successful now repeat upgrade..... however upgrade does not work since it says:-

Upgrade from :-

Blank (Previously before upgrade attempt this had original ver number in).

To:

Latest Orange ver....

When upgrade failed it left no image file on the SPV upon which to “upgrade” from, so now my SPV has the 3 colour screen. I’ve managed to get it past the bootloader screen, Orange screen displays, and then Windows Mobile splash screen but nothing beyond that presumably because the image file is not yet on it.

On bootloader screen shows

HERM100
1PL-1.01
HERM100
SPL-1.09

Any ideas? I have been reading XDA-Developer WIKI / Forum / MoDaCo for days now, I've tried all sorts of things, mtty (Can get to device), SSPL, managed to use this to get past bootloader, now shows Orange screen, then Windows screen and gets stuck).

Since I can't establish an ActiveSync partnership it would be ideal for a solution to flash my device from my MicroSD card directly, is this possible?

Help, please.....pretty please.

Miles

[forza]

...

HERM100

Have you tried running the Orange upgrade with the phone on the three coloured screen? If so, what happens?

[Miles74]

Hi Forza, I have run the Orange ROM update through the tri-colour bootloader, it goes through the normal checks, says you are upgrading from :-

From "Blank"
To "Latest Orange"

Click accept, then phone screen changes to 0% progress, and applet on PC returns "INVALID VENDOR ID" and stops.

I've run mtty and info 32, this returns FF so can see it is CID locked, but because I can't establish an Activesync session can't run the SuperCID/SimUnlock type stuff on the Wiki.

I've got USB connection ok, but can't upload to it. I can also put stuff on my MicroSD card, but how do you make it run a program directly from the card? Tried lots of things suggested on the boards but gerrin nowhere.

I think the Radio is screwed, ..... and needs reflashing.

Hope someone has some answers, lost without my gadget.

What do you get in mtty if you do an 'info 2'?

If the Orange update is bombing out with an invalid vendor ID it might be that the CID has become corrupted - if this is the case then if the OS has KITL enabled you may have a chance of recovery, if not or if the KITL recovery fails then it's back to the service centre for repair. If that is the case I would hope that Orange would deal with it quickly for you as you were flashing the approved update, I'd just not tell them you yanked the USB cable.

I just got a replacement SPV 3100 as it stopped making any sounds.

Any How in Device Info I have:

Operator version: 14.211.1.612
ROM version: 2.11.61.2
ROM date: 05/15/07
Radio Version: 1.38.00.01
Protocol Version 32.71.7020.12H

Seems that a newer rom may be on the way?

[TheBrit]

That's newer than the one I installed from the Orange Web Site a couple of weeks ago. I'm not holding my breath though to see if Orange release it as a download.

[an31]

I'm currently using a french(Switzerland) orange 3100. If i install this english rom will my OS change to english. Would there be any special settings required to work with my CP?


Based on information here; I suppose, I should use cooked ROM by mousey_ and using Force SSPL option rather than ROM from orange, uk. Is that correct?

The cooked ROM has quite old radio (Radio: 1.34.00.10). Does it really matters a lot? If yes, is it possible to have with latest one?

Thanks in adance for valuable feedback/help.

[an31]

[richardS]

I upgraded recently to the Orange supplied upgrade....And I'm none too happy. The phone is much more unstable, crashes regularly, eats batteries and is less capable of getting a signal....

Think I'm gonna have another go at flashing it with the same "upgrade" - and if I still have problems, I'll get Orange to change the phone...

[bigballs]

Just noticed that Orange UK Have released a New Update for October anyone tried it yet?

[richardS]

I ended up having to get a new phone from Orange as the "upgrade" was awful. Not sure how to check all the info on it...radio etc, but seems to work much better. Don't think I'm gonna download another "upgrade" from Orange, just in case it's as bad as the last one.

[Elwyn M3100]

Well, I've had a few problems lately with dropped calls, ignored calls and the like. The phone won't ring but people either hear ringing for a while before VM or they go straight to VM.

I'm going to borrow a phone for a bit from a friend on Orange too and have a play with 'flashing' the rom.

When this happens does it wipe the installed software and data too?

[Shoaibz]

I downloaded the the latest orange rom for my recently bought SPV M3100, but I just can't update it. Same 260 problem !!!! I tried two different pc. Both of them connect with the phone without a problem, but just don't upgrade through the RUU. I downloaded the latest WM6 original RUU but again no cigar. My phone has already been unlocked but I don't know if it was sim unlocked or CID unlocked !!!!

What should I do? i searched the whole of Hermes wiki, and finally came to this thread, please can anyone help me?

My Device Rom versions are
Operator version: 14.123.1.614
ROM version: 1.23.61.4
ROM date: 07/13/06
Radio version: 1.16.00.00

Thankx, I got it done, by following the advice of HardSPL1.11 and Custom RU, I've just finished installing WM6 latest original ROM, which do seems to be on a heavier side then the previous WM5 ROM, maybe I'll go back to the latest official orange WM5 ROM. But thakx for all the wonderful information. :)

Warning: You will have some problems if you try to downgrade to WM5 as the radios are not quite compatible and will lead to some new problems for you. That being said try toi make sure that you don't upgrade the radio beyond 1.48 until AT&T or Orange UK or whoever comes out with an official wm6.1 rom.

Good luck:)

Well I downgraded to official orange WM5 ROM, just 20 mins ago without any problem!!! I don't know why but the whole procedure went without a single hitch.

[Mickster]

Mousey - good job on the custom orange rom - an absolute must for every orange m3100 rom flasher wanting to keep their warranty!

[hsanghavi]

all those with 26x error, not able to update... extract the NBH file from the rom, then use CustomRUU (see stickies) to flash it.

Can you please get me this part of the Original ROM. I have attached the screenshot. I dont only want the today screen but the sidebar software.

[Elwyn M3100]

Can you please get me this part of the Original ROM. I have attached the screenshot. I dont only want the today screen but the sidebar software.

That is the "Orange" Theme provided by Orange UK (a network provider). It's a bit :eek::eek::eek: because it means you can ONLY have that on your today screen, nothing else.

Waste of space and time :(

Yet can you please get me this Theme with the side bar option which can be installed on WM-5 or WM-6 on hermes.

The side bar is the best in this Orange software maybe a bit big in size.

Thanks in Advance.
