Can anyone help me please? I live in the US and bought my Orbit directly from a Hong Kong dealer through Ebay. Now I want to upgrade to WM6 but the website keeps telling me that the S/N is wrong. My S/N is not in white as it says - it is on a white label and the text is in black. The S/N is S/N:HTXXXAAXXXXX with a B after a few spaces where the XX are numbers and the AA are letters. No matter how I try to enter the number (with the S/N, without the S/N, with the :, without the :, with the B, without the B) it tell sme that my number is invalid. Is the problem that my phone came from Hong Kong and the number doesn't match the UK version? Will Tom's B&B version work for me in the US? Please help.

Dude,

dont bother with the "official" WM6... look in here for the PDAVIET 4.0 update. its the same as WM6, but our friend Tom has added some apps, and tidied it up so much that its a wonder O2 havent snapped him up as a designer. the downloads are far more available, and you wont regret upgrading.

Good luck, and Rock on.

Like as me. My orbit S/N deosn't match with UK version. I don't know why, too? The same Brand Xda Orbit but can't support, Why Why???

My Orbit can upgrade with wm6 German Rom. This Link to download: http://www.o2online.de/nw/support/downloads/software/xda/xdaorbit/index.html
I sucess upgraded, but I can't use more fuction of my phone. Because I don't know German Language.
I need English wm6 rom for my Orbit. Please help me...

tough choice when there isn't a windows pc in sight and you only have FF, seamonkey or konquerer coz opera is broken. i'll try with konq but if not looks like i'll be hitting one of the mirrors.

fyi, i'm an it tech with a passion for hating MS. only got the phone coz the budget was tight and vodafone like to sell their treo with wm5 at an extrotionate price.

every one seems to be a techy these days :rolleyes: yet i still manage to beat o2 (after a 15 minute fone call to there xda tech guys who's response was the download is not available) that was using firefox

gave IE7 a go thought why not and it accepted my S/N and downloaded

use the 02wm6 rom supplied then

FYI i hate MS to but im lazy and it works lol if not i force it to

If it is an Orbit AKA Artemis, tom rom will work. Before flashing remember to run USPL, or u might brick u'r device

your right i can but knowing how to code a program to be compatible with the changes in wm6 is different to knowing how to repair a system (which is what i do). So in the sync program department i have to rely on other people in the linux community and i'm really not sure if i could get a good sync out of it with the pda running wm6

Just FYI I had this problem (but now got BB4) I managed to download the official O2 WM6 use internet explorer, no capital letters and include the letter at the end.

Hope this helps :D

well i just put in the first 14 characters including the "HT" part. all lowercase and as i said i used opera. i have been told that wm6 works with "synCE" (the linux sync tool i have to use) as long as you don't password protect anything. so i may install it when i get time.
