B&B v4 after O2 WM6 upgrade READ FIRST!!!

[Shand359]

If Anyone has applied the WM6 update from O2 to their Orbit, you may find that you need to downgrade back to WM5 before installing B&B v4 ROM. The reason is the USPL that is updated. After flashing O2 ROM the USPL is updated to 3.something. When running the USPL program the SPL number changes to 1.11.0000. This does not happen after O2 upgrade.

So far only way to remedy this is to flash back to WM5, re-flash USPL and then flash new ROM.

Thanks CoolGadget - that was fast.
1 more question for a newbie like me:
-I own the german version of the O2-Orbit - does this make a difference?

Cheers

Before everyone who's done the update to WM6 goes down this road, try this.

1. Make sure you're using a Windows XP PC!!
2. hard reset.
3. perform basic setup as normal.
4. soft reset.
5. apply uspl.
6. flash with B&B 4.

I had the offical WM6 ROM on mine, and actually just soft reset it, applies USPL and flashed and didn't have a single problem.

OK this is a really stupid question, but what is a uspl?

Thanks for this tip,

it worked perfectly for me.

I unlocked my Orbit with C3v2Unlock from Imei Check (and of course my .unl key), prior to USPL Flash, but I'm not sure if it was necessary as USPL makes your phone SuperCID temporarily.

Anyway thanks again,

B&B 4.0 rocks !!

1. To all members I would always recommend running USPL first before downgrading rom - if the spl no's change then it worked and you can flash another rom. (it worked on my orbit after flashing official o2 wm6 rom)

2. After supercid unlock from imei check - your device is permanently cid unlocked no matter what rom you flash - there is no need to run cid unlock again or uspl.

Shand if poss can you update your post as members will end up confused - if you doubt the info its here on the forum - read posts from faria and others.

Just did a friends orbit, had no problems either.

I just did my XDA Orbit. Downgraded to the official 02 WM5 (as I'd installed the new 02 WM6 official version), ran the USPL and installed the new version. It's so sweet!

Also, I did mine using Vista - no probs. Just make sure you have old active sync drivers installed for Bootloader mode. Ask if you're unsure.

Actually while I'm here, I can see I can overclock the CPU. What's the maxium I can take it to, (safely)?
