UK rom upgrade released and low and behold it does not work with Orange handsets.

Anyone have a solution?

Here you go mate, just click on the link below or copy and paste it into your browser. It wont ask you to put anything in, it'll just download the ROM straight away.

I've also got an Orange i600. But when I filled in all the details, I did it all in CAPITALS and it seemed to have worked.

First make sure you have activesync 4.5 installed and then install the Samsung Driver, then upgrade the ROM!


1. Samsung Driver:   http://fus.samsungmo..._modem_4.34.zip
2. ROM:   http://fus.samsungmo...0UXXupdater.exe

Hope this helps.

Good luck and let us know how u get on.

This does not work.

I had downloaded this already mate. The problem is that when I click the upgrader it tells me that i have the incorrect software version - yes, I have tried uplugging the usb etc. Also, has anyone found that activesync 4.5 is hogging 99% of their resources?! It has slowed my computer right down. Nice one microsoft/samsung.

I have even reformatted my hard drive today because activesync 4.5 made such a mess of it! Microsoft should pull this application as it's hogging system resources like no other!

Unfortunately, it may just be the Orange version that has issues. I'm loving my unlocked one (using it with T-Mo SIM).

Ok, I just called up samsung help centre and got put through to the I600 Team, they say the orange version cant be upgraded to win 6, didnt really say why other than its just not do-able with the orange one, I mentioned modaco and people on here say it is possible and he said if i want to try go ahead but if it breaks its £30 to put it right!

gah well... ill just keep my i600 on the old win poo but it will doo!

sat down and had a go at this over the last couple of days. I definitely have the right files available but when I try the first step -  run the updater for i600XXGD1 - it finds the phone successfully, but I get the message "select an image to download" with no options available! I've Google'd and about 2 other people have had the same problem but no-one has an answer!

Trust me it works if you flash it to an unlocked firmware first.
basically you have to find a software version that will upgrade from the orange one, then upgrade the wm6 flash from there.
sounds complicated but i think thers a guide on here somewhere...

36crazyfists is right!

i followed the guys instructions at,

http://www.internet-...icking-hacking/

http://www.internet-...-are-on-orange/

and debranded my i600 to wm5 and then flashed the phone to wm6.

my phone is simlocked though and i am waiting for the guy who sold it to me off ebay to send me the unlocking code.
2 weeks now and still no code.
anyone knows if i can remove the simlock somehow?

cheers
