rom update & bootloader screen

[Guest blackhat]

some months ago i've update my orange SPV from UK version to CH version (CH version has italian language), and because the update tool said that were impossible to update a different version of the software, i did it from the bootloader screen, and all was ok.

today i tried to update to i-mate rom, always doing it from the bootloader screen (i did it time ago, it worked well), but the update tool does not start the upgrade...and phone's screen goes blank.

i'm trying with orange roms too, but it always freeze on "Checking the information on your SPV ...Please wait..."

the only update that function is from CH to CH, but with the phone in normal mode, in bootloader mode not even this functions.

what happens? what can i do?

What rom update do you have?

if you have the 1.6 you will need to downgraded to an earlier version first by running the update and then swapping the nbf

file with one from the 1.3.5 update.

I did not realise the Swiss rom had Italian on it :?

One question, why do you want to run the IMate update? as the Orange one is the latest version.

because i-mate rom can record movies too, orange does not...

downgrading sound strange however, i've played a lot with these roms and i never had problems working in bootloader mode...

i'll try!

Unfortunately you have not played as much as I have :D

The latest updates were designed to make installing other

networks roms harder and to prevent people playing with

the bootloaders etc.

As for movies the IMate has IA Album which is available from

www.handango.com but as for movies it's not really worth

even messing about with, as the camera uses a serial connection

and so can only record at a few frames per second.
