Does the device boot up ok with the new rom? What exactly isn't working?

There was once a Smart rom that would lock a device to a particular network but that was a while ago. Most roms will work on most networks. The hardware is more important then the rom, i.e. determining what network band the device will run on...

I believed the latest ROM was v2.6.1.3 for Orange UK (although my understanding is that it comes from HTC) which I am running.

I had no particular problem with my update although at 30+ MB it took over 15 minutes to complete.  Needless to say Orange never thought to advise me of the v2.6.1.3 update!

The screen is very clear about what steps to take & what to do if something goes wrong.

There is also help at Modaco - http://www.modaco.co...ic.php?t=109022

However, if you follow this link you will see reference to v2.7.5.1 at http://www.orange.ch...s=1126104926825 which has full installation instructions too.

I hope this helps, buona fortuna

Think I've worked out what the problem might be...

See this thread here for a tool which temporarily sim unlocks the device as long as you stick with the same rom. I suspect this is how your E200 was originally unlocked and when you changed rom it reverted to being sim locked again.

@Drew_e, I'm running the latest SPV E200 in the UK. It's version 2.7.1.1. U sure it's an SPV E200 you're running? Or that you've updated to the latest rom?

I'm afraid the link from the Modaco web page for the download has been "suspended"

However, good news, there's a similad "fix" on http://www.slashphon...03&page=3&pp=15  -  requires signing up for free membership to download the "fix"

Well it is difficult, if not impossible to search for or find ROM upgrades on the Orange web site.

It was through sheer luck, on Modaco I think, that I found the v2.6.1.3 ROM update, which in my submission facilitates longer battery life & improved screen legibility.  It came out in April 2004 I think but I didn't know about it until this year.

You are right about the v2.7.1.1 on Orange UK which from examination this afternoon (courtesy of winrar) appears almost identical to v2.7.5.1 from Orange Switzerland which has been out since August 2004  :oops:
