XDA Orbit ROM

---

Hello all, hope you can help.

I've just tried to install the this ROM 'PDAMobiz_Dopod_P800W_AKU301_v1.1.2_PowerMap__6.2. 07_.part2.rar' on my xda orbit but the install came back with errors and all i have now is an O2 spalsh screen. I can however get to the bootloader screen so i assume all i need is the original shipped uk o2 rom?

I've had a good look around but nobody seems to have this. Someone must have surely.

Please help.

Thanks in advance.

hi, please take an hardreset:

turn your phone on press and hold the two buttons on the upper left and right side from your naviwheel and press the resetbutton with your stylus.

after a few seconds you will see an totally black screen with some white text, follow the instructions and if it fail please tell me.

Hi there,

Thanks for the advice but i've tried that already. Any other ideas?

I suppose tha you have Xda Orbit from Germany . If yes go to ftp on xda dev and download german rom . Put your xda into bootloader mode and upgrade it with this rom . This will help . I've had this same issue and from today my xda is alive again

I actually need the UK (english) rom. Do you think the German one will work on O2 UK? I'm gonna download it anyways, cant hurt to try.

Thanks

No this will not work, and if I'm not wrong there is no official O2 UK rom . If your XDA is CID unlocked then you can try to install t mobile uk version , if not ....well you have a brick

no, the german rom dosn't work on the english unit. bacause the updateprogramm is looking for the correct country-id so it won't work.

^^sry for my bad english, because i'm german and don't use it very often.


bye flow

Gutted!

You're right guys, it doesn't work! I guess I should have thought about how serious this 'playing about with your xda' was I reckom i'm just gonna go to the shop tomorrow and just say it died and hope they give me a new one

Suppose i could wait for the new ROM release for the UK version, who knows when that's going to be though.

Thanks for your help anyway.

How lucky do i feel??!! I took my phone back to the O2 shop and sent it off to the service centre. The report came back that the main board had been wrote off (i just played dumb). So they replaced it and i now have my baby back!

Conculsion:

Don't mess about unless you know what your doing! I've been working in IT for 10 years, if i can make this mistake, anyone can! DONT DO IT!

lucky you.
