Guest Paul [MVP] Posted April 21, 2005 Report Share Posted April 21, 2005 Well, I hadn't heard anything previously... but Orange have now confirmed that an update for UK C500s featuring Windows Media Player 10 and very similar to the French Update IS IMMINENT! We will of course let you know as soon as it's available, and give you the lowdown... watch this space ;) P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Confused Stu Posted April 21, 2005 Report Share Posted April 21, 2005 Presumably Orange UK are having to spend the time adjusting the French update for English audiences - correcting to proper grammar, de-greasing it and trying to remove the whiff of garlic from the phone post-update...... (Cue lots of "Xenophobe!" abuse) ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will of course let you know as soon as it's available, and give you the lowdown... watch this space ;) P <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Paul, just successfully updated my C500 (UK IMEI Unlocked, using my U.S. TMobile SIM card)!!!! It works perfectly, except I've noticed if you use the GPRS, the GPRS icon stays on, until you reboot the phone. Regardless, I'm very pleased that I performed the esoteric upgrade. Another member's information helped, as well [ian]. Thanks and if you hear of anything to fix the GPRS icon, please pass it on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest drblow Posted April 21, 2005 Report Share Posted April 21, 2005 He he! ;) I've been holding off on doing the french update in the hopes that this might happen! Although, it'll porbably be another 3 months before we hear anything! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest merguez Posted April 21, 2005 Report Share Posted April 21, 2005 I will try to install it on my french C500 because the french ROM has too much bugs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bluesmudge Posted April 21, 2005 Report Share Posted April 21, 2005 this doesn't effect me as i have a shiney new c500 with the current UK rom on - but will the french users be able to change to English ROM? And who spoke to Orange about this - is there any proof of the UK rom? especially after i saw a post by another user who asked Orange about the UK update and they claimed to have no plans. Do we know if Orange are under a deal to release this news to certain people first? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ROM hasn't been released yet, which means you don't have the upgraded ROM. You do have the current ROM, but this is discussing the possible upcoming release of an upgraded version (feat. WMP10, etc). Bring on the update please!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless there's been a development since the last time I looked at the thread, I believe users who have upgraded to the French ROM using TyphoonNbfFiles will not be able to flash the new update to their c500, but users who have unlocked their phones via imei-check.co.uk and then installed the Fr ROM will be able to.

P <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Thank you, Paul... I got it installed (sorry about the hassles). Where do I modify the GPRS persistency? What would you recommend? Which GPRS authentication should I use for the U.S.? CHAP or PAP? Again, and most importantly, if I could just get the GPRS to work again, I wouldn't even need to mess with the UK ROM update. IMEI-check, is sweet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
