HELP! New ROM image has left me high and dry

[strongp]

I've just tried updating my O2 Orbit ROM to Black&Bluev3 and now can't use it on the O2 network. The SIM is working fine at the moment in my old Hermes

everything seemed to have gone fine, (I ran USPL first) but after restarting the phone won't recognise the sim - before I even had a chance to enter the pin 3 times it reported that it required the unlocking code, and then refused to accept the unlocking code once I'd got that.

So now I've got a very sleek PDA, but no phone Any idea where I can get an O2 ROM from as I can't see it listed in the Artemis list, and am I looking for a ROM or extended ROM (what is the difference anyway?)

it would be the rom mate.

Question as I have O2 orbit too and uk based.

have you tried reflashing phone not forgetting to do the USPL again first.
I had a problem where mine seemed to freeze up when I upgraded one of our and by doing this it worked fine.

worth a try what have you got to loose.

If all else fails they claim that O2 uk are goinmg to release this month but thats a way off.

Try the reinsall. BUT DONT FORGET USPL first

Hmmm.... false alarm methinks - after an hour or so the same unblocking message came up on the vario - I swapped it back and it worked first time in the new ROM imaged Orbit - so it was probably a SIM issue. BTW it seems there are no UK ROM images available for O2...

Yes there are uk o2 roms - see stickies in artemis upgrading and artemis mobile 6 forums.

you've got to laugh - why can't they just release it into tehpublic domain in the first place - it's not like anybody is going to CHOOSE and O2 ROM unless it's for a bet....

Anyway - hats off to step0011 and well done to the community - we win again!
