Uk Orange E650 rom upgrade

[adicken]

Can someone please just confirm this:

I want to flash my Orange E650 (vox) to the latest Rom from HTC. As far as i can see i have to do the following:

1, Run the SDA Application Unlock.exe, it will greet you with "SDA successfully unlocked".

2, Turn off your Vox and remove the storage card.

3, Turn your Vox on and connect it to active sync/windows mobile device center.

4, From the Vox USPL- CID BYPASS run Uspl.bat. Follow the on screen step by step instructions. Press enter through the prompts which you have already completed in steps 1-3. On your Vox mobile you “may” be prompted to allow "itsutils" then "haret" to run, press yes both times... On running haret your screen will go black with the backlight on dim or sometimes screen is bright white.
(note all going well the screen will remain in this black or white state until step 5 has completed).

5, Now run the update RUU_Vox... update you want to flash, everything else is automated. You’re done!

I am presuming i should use the HTC_WWE_1.34.405.1_4.1.13.54_03.10.90_Ship rom.

Is all this correct? If not can someone please clarify so that i do not brick my phone.

Many many thanks.

Yes, I got the same model and I passed the same procedure to install the same ROM. And it went great :)

[adicken]

That's great. Many thanks.

Did you notice any differencies?

In this forum were listed some changes, but the biggest one i notices: speed.
This ROM looks much faster to me. Windows Update works...
I would still suggest to check it for yourself :)

How long does this all take?(roughly)? Just so i don't go thinking my phone is wrecked.

Flashing itself takes something like 10 minutes I think, maybe a bit less.
Then the first boot will take sometime, don't worry. Maybe 5 minutes.
Happy flashing :)

Went like a dream. Many thanks to everyone for their help and more importantly their reassurances!!!

Curious how do you get a download from HTC as you need to put a serial number in and it will reject the serial from an orange branded phone.

Thanks

Well, you only get these downloads if you have a HTC branded device. But you can also get it from the xda-dev ftp. ftp://ftp.xda-developers.com/Uploads/Smartphone/Vox/ROMs/Shipped

When I click on the link for the ftp site I get permission denied error.
Help.
