Where was this "released"?

[Straputsky]

Here (http://www.o2online.de/nw/support/downloads/software/xda/index.html). It's the german support website, but I thought that o2 provided it to all other customers as well.

[leondaphillips]

thanks,
its a pity it is not an English ROM - that would have been zweet!

RUU_signed.nbh is dated 17 March... Really intriguing... Could this be real WM6.1?

Knowing O2 it is likely to be a badly put together cooked ROM that is waaaaaaaaay surpassed by Bepe's.

BEPE IS KING OF THE ORBIT 2 ROMS!!!

It was posted today, because i was yesterday on the site and they did not have the update, i will installed when i come home, I'm in the office :eek:

BEPE IS KING OF THE ORBIT 2 ROMS!!!In your opinion.

[SaBo]

So, I installed it.

On startup it shows

R 1.58.24.14
G 25.69.30.05H
D 1.28.00.00

It's CE OS 5.2.1623 (Build 18129.0.4.5)

So nothing revolutionary.

any clue of video performance improoved?

[Nielsomat]

Apparently (http://ppc-welt.info/community/showthread.php?t=129374&page=3) it's just a minor maintenance update fixing various smaller problems e.g. with the radio. Another improved area are handovers when roaming nationally (since Germany's o2 uses the T-Mobile network in some areas). In the linked forum (german) a comparison of the old and new version is given:

New:
ROM Version: 1.28.207.2 GER
ROM Datum: 02/25/08 (ROM Date)
Funkempfängerversion: 1.58.25.14 (Radio Version)
Protokoll Version: 25.69.30.05H (Protocol Version)

Old:
ROM Version: 1.24.207.2 GER
ROM Datum: 12/06/07
Funkempfängerversion: 1.58.21.23
Protokoll Version: 25.65.30.04H

Video performance presumably remains unchanged and from what I could gather so far, this update did excite absolutely nobody.. :)

[Olioaglio]

Hmm, wasn't the 1.58.25.14 Radio the one which caused
most troubles with the Bluetooth dies, not connecting to WLAN and
others. Thought I had seen something in several threads, and
most did not recommend to use this one and better use the
1.64.08.21 :confused::confused: And now it is used in official
upgrade ?! :eek: Hmm, maybe the same as with the Murata Radio...

Same build no., other content?

It´s perfect for modder ;)! The Garantieproblem is over :D. But, without changelog is this update a riddle.

You got in the right point :D

This is not exactly true. The Murata Radio read 1.58.21.23 on my Polaris whereas I remember the original Radio to be 1.58.23.21. So apparently the Murata Radio is older than the Radio the Polaris initially shipped with, at least the o2 Xda orbit 2 version from the companys German offspring.

users at ppc-welt. repost this:

Nope, original radio ist 1.58.21.23

[schaggo]

I DO have .23.21...
Also earlier, I got confused when giving people Radio-ROM recommendations because I recommended .23.21 (which was my original) and I usually got answers asking me if I meant .21.23. Over time, this was very confusing, now with the new Radio I checked and I do have .23.21.

[Olioaglio]

I DO have .23.21...I checked and I do have .23.21.

Never heard about a .23.21 version :confused::confused:
But... anyway, this doesnt affect the circumstance, that the
new one (.25.14) is exactly the one, you claimed, to make problems
with reception, WiFi and so on. And now it's official O2 radio :eek:

I bought my orbit2 a month ago.
Now that there is a official ROM available for the guarantee cases.
It's time for me to try some of the cocked roms here!!

Finally, I can turn my Orbit 2 into English version!!

Any suggestions about good cocked ROM that I should start with.

[leondaphillips]

In your opinion.
Absolutely, it is my opinion.

[schaggo]

the
new one (.25.14) is exactly the one, you claimed, to make problems

I know that, it's the first thing I noticed and it drives me nuts! But I was wrong, by now I guess certain units have a bad build quality (more so TC than Xda's?) and those units are failing.

In the end I dont care, I now have a full official o2 backup ROM and I really like that ;)

At least one thing the update was good for... :D

There had been an original O2 Germany ROM dump for quite a while already.
No one really needed this official update.

Yes I know, I compiled the final package. But this way you get rid of any splashscreens, ROMs, Radios and SPL modifications. Your device looks like - in fact- any other orbit 2 having received this official o2 update. Isnt that a nice warm feeling, somewhat like a brown tequilla gives?

[SaBo]

I never used a ROM that did change any of that.
And to get back to original SPL isn't that hard either.

I have downloaded the new ROM on friday.

Today I went again to the o2online website, but the file is not there any more!!

I don't know why O2 has removed it???

[SaBo]

Today I went again to the o2online website, but the file is not there any more!

It's still there (http://www.o2online.de/nw/support/downloads/software/xda/xdaorbit2/index.html)

You are right!

It seems that I followed a wrong link which took me to the following page:

http://www.o2online.de/nw/support/mobilfunk/xda/software/index.html

On the above mentioned link there is no Orbit 2 update, but it is at:

Thanks you Sascha.

I hope to recive my Orbit 2 in 5-6 days, could you give me a link for the Murata Radio Rom? I can't find it :(

I'm a newbie in WM and Htc device, which is the great difference between the original O2 (UK) and the cooked one??
There is so many cooked Rom that I can't decide wich one to try :(

[Nielsomat]

Any suggestions about good cocked ROM that I should start with.

I would recommend udK's Vega ROM. It feels very fast and I consider it to be in the sweet spot between "absolutely stripped of anything useful" and "feature overload". The ASerg ROM is also quite nice though.. In the end I would recommend to download the most popular and take a day off for testing all of them, you are sure to find your personal favourite this way!

I'll sure take a look to udK's ROM :)
