SPV m3100 on UK Orange network

[Phileeny]

Information overload, too many wm6 updates.

Looking for the best and latest update to wm6+ for my phone

My phone as of now is
wm5 locked to orange sim
OS 5.1.465 (build 15673.3.3.1)
Standard SPL? and radio?

Will these upgrades work on UK orange network, and I've seen somewhere a cab file i think to reinstall all my orange network settings, I hope to do an upgrade this weekend

Thanks Phil

I did the upgrade on an M3100 on Orange UK and used ROM CE OS 5.2.19202 (Build 19202.1.0.0 PV DVH) 16MB PP CLEAN. Works fine. I did not even need to run the network wizard to set up all the Orange UK settings. Great Rom:D

Phil ... before you try anything make sure you go HardSPL so you don't end up bricking your device.

Personally the most stable/fastest rom I've ever used is K's WM6 Final

I'm currently using starbase64's S64_WM_6.1_HTC_v2_WWE which is very feature rich and WM6.1 (but I did SuperCID my device before hand)

Once you've upgraded your M3100, you'll probably find that your orangeworld browsing is reduced to a txt-wap view so you'll need to installed Rabdo's little fix

Thanks, just downloaded the HTC update 838Pro_HK_ENG_WM6_Upgrade_20070712
and
HTC_Hermes_SIM_CID_Unlock_v3a

should I upgrade my phone first or unlock first?

Wanted to try Official wm6 from htc, before the other roms, can I do that? pick, choose and try any roms

The sim unlock should be done 1st because atleast you'll be safe knowing the IPL is 1.01 and SPL changed to 1.40.Olipro (HardSPL-1.40)

Note that when you use the "AUTO_Unlock_v3a.bat" file ... it will want to downgrade your Radio from 1.38.00.01 to 1.16.00.01 (which means you will lose HSDPA connectivity) ... so you'll need to upgrade again

Also when the unlock program is finally executed, if you chose to SuperCID your device, you'll be able to load any Rom but manufacturers warranty is out the window.

Just run HTC_Hermes_SIM_CID_Unlock_v3a
It ran very smoothly
ROM version 2.11.61.3
ROM Date 05/21/07
Radio version 1.16.00.00
IPL-1.01
SPL-1.40.01ipro
Installed my 3 network sim, all okay, it worked, just need to install 3 network settings

i have brewed and installed wm6 roms with no problems, even upgraded the radios to newer versions, all you will need to do is input the gprs/3g access settings and install the sms fix to allow voicemails and sms to get through properly
