Hi all

Complete newbie to ROM upgrades. I have a SPV M700 coming in the next few days and will be unlocking & flashing the ROM (currently Orange & WM5 I think). As there are many different ROMs available, I'm after some advice where to start.

From what I can see, there are 2 basic types - full (includes apps, config tools, etc) and lite (OS only). I'm guessing for me, a full ROM is going to be better whilst I get the hang of things, but which one to choose ? I think Schap's ROM has everything I need (and more) but welcome your advice.

Thanks

Maxi

similar question really.

I have found http://trinityguides.info/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=25&Itemid=66 which seems quite good.

However will this result in a SIM unlocked device??
It would seem to SIM unlock I need to install a very old Radio ROM??

I think it is all quite confusing as obviously the different ROMs etc. have changed a lot over time and it is difficult to work out if the instructions I am reading are outdated.

Thanks for any help

The Trinityguides are very useful when it comes to the actual doing. My question was really which ROM(s) should I consider to upgrade to.
