Bepe's WWE WM6 on Orbit

[chickyd]

I've read through the WWE thread and still haven't managed to find people's experiences with this ROM and their UK Orbit's.

Can people please post any issues, and more importantly if I'll brick my Orbit (as from the shop so unsure whether CID locked / unlocked) if I follow the steps in the original thread?

Thanks.

I had no luck. I'm waiting for WM6 ROM from O2 UK to get the phone working again as I can still access the bootloader.

[Neozzz]

Same for me. Followed all the steps, but still my phone bricked. Mine was CID locked, but because there were several succesful upgrades on CID locked devices I also tried it. I'm also still able to enter bootlloader, so just have to wait for retail WM6 ( have no RUU signed update to restore my device )

[carphead]

I moved from a Orbit with a HTC P3300 Rom (CID Unlocked) to a WM6 Bebe Rom at the first attempt.

It's so much quicker than the WM5 Rom. It's a lot more stable.

If you want me to post the steps and a Apps I've tested I'll do so tomorrow.

I couldn't get Bepe's to load with the boot loader, but the next part with the windows.nb file worked..........


Sort of, I think the bluetooth is not working properly as I can't create a port to allow me to sync with my pc. Apart from that it is working fine. (Touch wood)

[chickyd]

sounds to me like it isn't worth trying at the moment then! shame cause i want to get wm6 running but would rather not have a bricked device ... and the odds look high!:(

come on o2... where's our official rom?:confused: :confused: :rolleyes:

[Moleshome]

I've just upgraded my O2 Orbit and it worked fine. CID unlocked it with IMEI-Check and then followed Bepe's instructions.

[chickyd]

mmmm... fair enough but i just don't wanna shell out $20 to get a cracked rom...

[magpie2000k]

If I am not mistaken is it not £20 as opposed to dollars I would pay a tenner but like you I will wait for £20

Does anyone know if HTC will require an actual P3300 IMEI in order to download the WM6 update when and if they release it?

probably, they will require you to give this to prove you have a HTC branded device. TBH they shoudl provide a ROMforAll no matter what provider you have you should be able to upgrade to a clean manufacture rom.

for those who have O2-Orbit UK and can access only bootloader, did U try to flash german WM6? just run file downloaded from german o2 (without any hexedits etc. just run xdaorbit-windows-update.exe). I think it should work, because CID lock is not to lang version, but for operator (02_01) and both UK and DE Orbit are ARTE2000. Worth a try. If it works let it boot to calibration screen plug usb cable and reflash using bepe's ROM. Let us know. I'm not sure if it'll work, I'm CIDunlocked.

Do you think the same would apply if you Hex edited ARTE10000 to ARTE2000? Sily question, I know, but is that the only level of security that actually looks for model ID?

[phsnake]

in o2 ger image its already ARTE***** so u dont need to change anything (it means it shoul work for arte100,110,1000,200 models maybe 300 as well - htc love) But this is looking only for ModelID, in ROmUpdate Util it checks somehow for ModelVendor/Operator - addr:x0003BA6C - password BsaD5SeoA

I also "BRICKED" my Orbit. I am also the impatient type. Why wait for O2 to release a ROM image? I have spoken with O2 directly. My friend even works for their technical division. As far as I have been able to find out, from friends and his friends at O2, there is NO O2-UK WM6 in the pipeline at the moment. Not enough users apparently. When I found out this I put my Orbit into O2 shop for repair. It was flashed under warranty as a software fault. I have since CID-unlocked it and flashed to WM6.

Absolutely amazing. WM5 to WM6 is night and day. So much faster and a lot nicer looking too.

My experience: O2 Orbit bought in CZ. My way was: CID unlock -> try-and-brick (...) -> German original O2 WM6 ROM (with bootloader) -> Arte WM6 from bepe.
I am very happy now (extremly stable!) and at this moment I do not plan even upgrade to a new ROM.

Btw solved the issue with localization (keyboard only - Resco works perfectly) and external keyboard support for my beloved iGo Sierra bluetooth keyboard: AE Keyboard mapping SW solved my needs

Being a corporate O2 customer, when I bricked my Orbit they sent me a new one and said I could do what I wanted with the old one.. it's still a brick, having tried every suggestion on this forum!!!

MY new one, however, is running Bepe's WM6, having run the USPL first.
I tried Black&Blue, but found it drained the battery too quickly, and I reall ydon't need all the extras it comes with. I've got Bepe's WM6 running brillianlty - all I add is a cracked version of TomTom 6.02, which runs perfectly, BatteryStatus purely for a power display, no overclocking needed, and TodayAgenda for improved calendar on Today.
I use push mail to connect to my office exchange server, and have all my personal mail ending up at fastmail.net, where I connect to using IMAP - deleting from the phone deletes properly on the IMAP server now, unlike on WM5, so you really can have a synchronised mailbox usin IMAP and a free account at Fastmail.net...


I also have JetwareMobile installed to enable me to use my Siemens HKW600 Car kit (£40 on ebay, superb!), and I have some Sony DR-BT30Q bluetooth headphones which work perfectly...

I have a CID LOCKED UK o2 Orbit. I ran the USPL program by Prof and then Bepe's WWE ROM.

worked fine and WM6 is great!

Yes, but that doesn't work if you've already bricked your Orbit

Does anyone happen to have a WM5 ROM to restore to if the WM6 goes horribly tits up - I'm not overly looking forward to the idea of not having the pride of the mobile fleet working... the humiliation!

I created a backup of my own one using aWizard, but I have read that is has to be signed before it will allow uploading. If that's true how come this modified ROM will upload?

a search in forum you will find that : :D

htc rom tool version 1.0.1
by Dark Simpson
--------------------------

This small application makes process of working with ROM's for some new HTC devices are bit more comfortable. htc rom tool will contain several instruments to deal with ROMs or it's parts.
Now, these instruments are implemented:

1. ROM builder. With this tool you can build a ROM (*.nbh) from a rom parts (*.nb) in a comfortable interface.
The built ROM is correctly signed (with my own cert), checked for errors and is ready to download into device. The device MUST be CID unlocked for this, or you will get an error while flashing (it is not fatal for your device I think, but keep attention on this fact!).
There is a possibility to add new devices to build ROM for by editing program's configuration file. This is described inside the "htcrt.ini" configuration file.

In the next versions these tools will be added:
- ROM extractor (to extract all *.nbh file or only a several needed parts from it)
- Splash tool (to deal with all kinds of ROM splash screens in a comfortable manner).
- ExtRom tool (to extract and rebuild "extended ROMs")
- System tool (to extract and rebuild an OS part and, maybe, to edit some contents inside unpacked system like initial registry and so on...)

[andel]

AHhh right - I sense some reading and edumacashun is going to be happening, so bear with me!

I'll have a good look... I'm about to have my first XDA modifications go with a XDA Universal/Exec doofermajiggy phone. I figured I might as well break something I no longer need!

[barneyhaye]

dannyoneill,

The standard O2 Orbit ROM has a hidden folder called \extended_rom with just a small amount of O2 data in it. Does that make it suitable to start at the USPL operation (Step 3) without any further preparation (you _do_ say that you need a ROM with ext_rom)?

What size should BEPE's ROM be when downloaded. I seem only to only get a 216KB RAR when I download from "http://www.ramonshare.com/files/inde...TE_WWE_WM6.rar"

The "art_tmouk_11311001_024990_wwe_ship.exe" ROM is 46 MB, so I'd expect equivalent size for the WM6 ROM.

thank you,
