Anyone successfully unlock, hard spl, and flash an O2 Ignito?

[edan]

So, has anyone successfully unlocked, hard spl and flashed a new ROM into an O2 Ignito?

There's so little about the O2 ignito here, but i'm thinking to get one and try a wwe Rom on it.

Thanks all

:eek: Ehh?

There's not much information relating to the "MDA Compact IV" either. :rolleyes:

True true, but don't forget it's the same hardware anyway so all of the updating applies to all 3 versions of the phone.

I personally have the MDA Compact IV and have updated ROM/SPL/Radio fine, and my friend has the O2 XDA Ignito and has also updated all 3 of his so i can confirm its safe :)

The XDa Ignito comes unlocked as standard - you can use any SIM card in it. As for the rest - I put Olinex 1.40 on mine and then have flashed 3 different roms from here all fine

I'm going to put a new rom on my Ignito tonight hopefully.

First though I want a copy of the original O2 rom to put back on if necessary.

So far i've managed to dump the rom from the phone to my computer, but now just need to convert that all back into a ROM somehow.

same position here, i got the raw files and the spl but trying to find out how to build a rom with the raw files.

please update if youv managed to find anything

[AndyChecker]

I also have the raw files but if I have no idea how to get these back into a normal flashable o2 rom! I am sure we will manage it if we need it for warranty purposes though if it comes to it

i think we need to start a new thread for this to get more attention, some of the advanced users will deffinitely be able to help.

its worth doing in my opinion

As has already been stated, there's loads of us XDA Ignito users on here. Within 2 days I'd flashed a new SPL and ROM onto my device. Would be nice to have the original o2 rom to roll back to if necessary but I'm perfectly happy with out it currently.
As far as I'm aware o2 are one of the few operators that don't lock their devices. Out of all the handsets I've had from them over the years I'm as yet to receive a sim locked one.

markquinton,
can you help us out with redeveloping the original o2 rom!
seems like you have some ccoking experience having a custom rom on your orbit! see my previuos post in this thread

[markquinton]

I'm afraid I only built custom rom's from the base HTC one's made available for the Orbit originally when WM6.1 came out. I've never worked with raw files and wouldn't have the foggiest about how to get them back into a flashable state. Sorry!

hi all am hoping to get this thread going again as im having trouble geting Unsigned-Hard-SPL-Diamond-OliNex onto my ignito. did any of you guys have trouble?

[craigmeikle]

I managed to install the hard SPl onto my ignito, but have been unable to flash a new rom.
Think the pre-installed works well though, I just installed the original black theme as the blue o2 one is pants.
Radio upgrade has been fine.
Biggest recommendation I have is to install the VGA version of quick GPS. It REALLY made a difference to my satellite lock times from like 10 mins to about 10 secs

[prezzo]

no problems with it works fine mine was on o2 software using latest dutty's now.
give it a go, loads faster now
