UK Orbit Factory ROM

[chickyd]

ok, got cocky with flashing ROMS onto my CID locked orbit- i can now only access bootloader. I'm now waiting on imei-check to verify i am who i say i am before they'll unlock my phone for me.

In the meantime does anyone know any other cid unlockers who will do it instantly, or

where i can find a rom that will work from bootloader on my locked device (upgraderom.bat doesn't recognise my phone even though my computer does), or

anything else of any help?!

ps... i assume i can cid unlock from bootloader - is this right?

i did things too fast... not happy!:(

As far as I am aware you cannot unlock your device from bootloader. For the IMEI-check solution to work, your device needs to be connected and an active sync connection established?

I think your going to be stuck along with alot of other people on here awaiting an O2 UK ROM so they can restore their bricked phones.

rubbish! how frustrating!

surprises me that no one has been able to come up with an RUU for UK o2 orbit...

Did the above and only have bootloader option, "honestly" rather than o2 to release a WM6 ROM, I have sent my XDA Orbit (still under warranty) back to o2 yesterday (Sat 2nd June 2007) for a reflash, told it'll take 7-10 days. So when it comes back (will update time taken) gonna get it CID unlocked and do the WM6 update again if o2 hasn't released the official ROM..

Good luck...

sorry to hear that... i still have my wizard which i've reverted back to for the time being... i'm considering sending mine to imei-check who will fix and do the cid unlock for £40 + £7 shipping... thiking it may almost be worth it for my stupidity!

Still hoping that someone will manage to dump their o2 rom and produce a uk RUU though...

[chickyd]

i read somewhere that it may be possible to modify a foregn rom with the uk ID... anyone know about this?

Why send it in when O2 is gonna release their official rom update in maybe 2 weeks or so? When it is released, you'll be able to update it from bootloader mode. Just have a little patience, btw I have the same problem, let me know when you're able to change the device ID code in RUU ;)!

Well simple reason is that I need the XDA Orbit and we don't have any rumour or info re an official o2 WM6 release.

Simple solution I dare say and it aint gonna cost me a penny.

I have been trying for the last two days to get onto HTC web site?? still no luck with the download

The original WM5 ROM is available for download, which will run when phone in bootloader mode. Run this to unbrick your handset then unlock it.

Download link has been withdrawn. The download is NOT ready yet.

Is the correct answer.....

If you don't mind going back to WM5 until it is released, here is a link to the thread with the original O2 Orbit UK ROM download on it:

If you've sent it back to O2 now then they will put WM6 on as part of the 'repair' unless you asked them to put WM5 on it.
