Default XDA Orbit / PC Software

Good Morning to all

As you may or may not be aware i am new to this forum and i would just state that i am not an XDA developer of any kind yet ? ( not sure how i become one or if i can :) ,

I have a question in relation to the subject of this post i was just wondering if anyone knew of an Internet site where i can download the install software for my XDA , i have the new XDA Orbit and i am trying get it working with my work pc i have the usb cable provided with the pack but forgot to take the install cd :( with me to work in the morning i i was hoping there would be somewhere i could source this install file/data from ???

Anyway i hope i have posted my query in the right place and thanks in advance for any help :)

Default XDA software

Hey m8 thanks very much for the info i did find this software but was not sure if thats what i need , thanks for the clarification and quick repsonse :)


Just out of interest as i said i am enw to this forum and also to XDA(s) i notice you tag

Quote "ROM 2.21.4.1 WWE
Radio 02.07.10
EXT ROM 2.21.4.101
OMAP Overclocked

I was just wondering does "OMAP Overclocked" mean that i/u r able to over clock the CPU on my XDA Orbit ?

And 1 other question i hope you dont mind but how much does upgrading the firmware help the function of the device ( i am not sure this will matter for me that much seen as the Orbit is fairly new and they probably dont have an upgrade for the firmeware yet but for future reference it would be helpfull to know ?

Once again thanks for all the info and advice and sorry for all my nagging questions :)

You are welcome.

With regards to overclocking have a look here and here but make sure that you read the literature thoroughly.

With regards to firmware I would suggest doing some reading on this Forum. I use the stock o2 Mini S ROM and have no problems with it. I have stripped all the o2 stuff out. A lot of people use custom 'cooked' ROMs, many of which may be found within the FTP. It's not something that has concerned me as I have no problems with the ROM I am using. If it ain't broke, don't fix.
