Guest smeg36 Posted January 8, 2004 Report Share Posted January 8, 2004 I have downloaded the generic firmware from Motorolla, and am ready to install it. I have one worry though, if the rumored 2003 upgrade does come, would having a generic ROM effect the ability to upgrade at all? If AT&T (the phone branded I have) releases the upgrade, I am worried I won't be able to get it. Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest awarner [MVP] Posted January 8, 2004 Report Share Posted January 8, 2004 Unlikely to affect upgrading to 2003 as the 2003 OS is a complete reflash of the entire ROM not just bits and pieces as you get with the Orange 1.6 for the E100 etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest smeg36 Posted January 8, 2004 Report Share Posted January 8, 2004 K, thanks. I will go ahead and do it. I hate all that mMode crap in their! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest abatis Posted January 9, 2004 Report Share Posted January 9, 2004 The mmode crap can go away without a rom flash. Think about it. and see this: http://smartphone.modaco.com/viewtopic.php...5723&highlight= Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest smeg36 Posted January 9, 2004 Report Share Posted January 9, 2004 Thanks, but I already flashed it. It is working great, all I need now is my SIM unlock code. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JOEJOETHEJOEY Posted January 9, 2004 Report Share Posted January 9, 2004 What firmware is this? Is it available to UK Orange users? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest smeg36 Posted January 10, 2004 Report Share Posted January 10, 2004 It is a firmware that was released my Motorolla, and can be used on any MPx200. Just do a search for firmware MPx200, and you should find it somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest phonesmarts Posted January 10, 2004 Report Share Posted January 10, 2004 actually, i think its only for ATT Mpx200 users. It does rid the phone of m-mode, which is a ATT thing. i was wondering, if i rid the phone of mmode with this firmware, would it affect my ability to use WAP sites or surf?

Guest smeg36 Posted January 10, 2004 Report Share Posted January 10, 2004 I don't think so, you would just have to manually setup your internet connection. I could be wrong though as I have never used AT&T. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest awarner [MVP] Posted January 11, 2004 Report Share Posted January 11, 2004 The firmware was leaked and NOT oficially released by Motorola I would not recomend using it as it will not improve the UK MPX and installing it will invalidate your warranty.

Guest smeg36 Posted January 11, 2004 Report Share Posted January 11, 2004 I didn't know about the warranty thing. I don't have one, so it doesn't matter for me, but that is good to know when telling other people about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest awarner [MVP] Posted January 11, 2004 Report Share Posted January 11, 2004 Yep :) Different countries have different warranties, the pinoy members only get 30 days from new but in the Uk we get 12 months. Unless you play with them by SIM unlocking and unofficial updating, and lets not forget taking them apart as well :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmmmm, dunno whether I should do it yet then. I wanna use it for my Vodafone SIM. :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest phonesmarts Posted January 11, 2004 Report Share Posted January 11, 2004 SIM unlock for the mpx? i thought that it only works on the SPV100. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest smeg36 Posted January 12, 2004 Report Share Posted January 12, 2004 YOu can buy a SIM Unlock code for most phones. I got mine on ebay for $9. I think you are thinking about the program that can generate a SIM unlock code for the SPV, and yes that doesn't work for the MPx. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
