Guest beersoft Posted July 11, 2005 Report Share Posted July 11, 2005 We think the fabled 4.2 update for the c500 is out, mikey86uk found a link on the Orange site It has all the things the French update has but is in English http://www2.orange.co.uk/servlet/Satellite...=Product#answer (no direct downloads) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest gpcarreon (MVP) Posted July 11, 2005 Report Share Posted July 11, 2005 There is already a download link on the Orange site: RUU_1.02_OrangeUK_v4.2.1.1_Ship.exe 23,083 KB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest awarner [MVP] Posted July 11, 2005 Report Share Posted July 11, 2005 Looking good but it appears that you have to be registered on the Orange site (needs to be confirmed), but as with all updates no direct linking will be permitted. EDIT It appears that if you do have to have the C500 as your selected device then go to Help and Support\ Features\ Download Software Updates\ and there you go :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest MarkH Posted July 11, 2005 Report Share Posted July 11, 2005 (edited) I just did a "diff" between the one that leaked onto usenet and the one just released by orange - i'm pleased to say they are 100% identical 8) (at least i wont have to re-flash my phone and re-install all the apps yet again!) - So this means the file was ready weeks ago - even orange have shipped it on new phones so they can't really claim they needed extra time for testing - I guess they just like to offend their long term customers for no aparent reason?

Guest digger Posted July 11, 2005 Report Share Posted July 11, 2005 Does this require a Hard Reset? Like the other ones do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest atonks Posted July 11, 2005 Report Share Posted July 11, 2005 It's been so long coming...... remind me again why I need WMP10. Thanks. :roll: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MarkH Posted July 11, 2005 Report Share Posted July 11, 2005 (edited) It's been so long coming...... remind me again why I need WMP10. Thanks. :roll: <{POST_SNAPBACK}> because it has a slightly larger number than "9"!? :-) but mainly as it lets you have mp3 ringtones, synchronising music from the PC WMP10 is now automatic, and you can fast-forward within songs/podcasts (which is fairly essential) Edited July 11, 2005 by MarkH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest renegade722 Posted July 11, 2005 Report Share Posted July 11, 2005 I'm still a little confused about this new ROM, so I'm going to ask a few questions... Can someone please just give 'simple' answers i.e. Yes / No or n/a. Thank you. If I install this new ROM: 1. Will my phone still be application unlocked? 2. If No, will I be able to application unlock it as I did before using the orange website? 3. Will my phone still be SIM card unlocked? 4. If No, will I still be able to SIM unlock it as I did before for free (thanks to software developers for that :) ) TYIA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest bluesmudge Posted July 11, 2005 Report Share Posted July 11, 2005 Hey stupid question but... As alot of people i had the preview of the english version of this rom from usenet, and i saw that a previous post states this officially released rom is exactly the same BUT is there any confirmation of this, and if i flash this new offical ROM onto the phone will it make any diffrence? I've never had any problem with the preview ROM, so if there is no diffrence then i won't bother. Oh i better expand on what i mean by diffrence - can orange tell the diffrence?
