Guest ts86 Posted January 16, 2005 Report Posted January 16, 2005 Hi all, I'm new to this forum. I've just recently got an Orange SPV C500. I've done the app unlock through a link I found on here, which worked great. I noticed on the home page under the news that a new version of the ROM has been released for the Qtek, which I believe is the same phone with just a different name? Is the ROM the Windows OS for the phone as well? Latest version? Should I go ahead and update the ROM on my SPV? Will it do it any harm? Ideally I want to remove all Orange branding and have it "generic". Equally, will it also then allow me to use other network's sim cards? WHat are ROMs for my hardware are avaiblable? Please shed some light on this. Thanks.
Guest Confucious Posted January 16, 2005 Report Posted January 16, 2005 The ROM is manufacturer specific. you have an Orange phone, use the Orange ROM. If you want to use another SIM in it you need to get it unlocked at http://www.imei-check.co.uk/c500unlock.php

I have looked on the Orange website but cannot find anything. Also, how can I find out the current version on the phone ? Edited January 16, 2005 by timmer
Guest Confucious Posted January 16, 2005 Report Posted January 16, 2005 I just found it on Orange website under help and support http://web.orange.co.uk/assets/sw/RUU_v0.9...UK_v4.1.1.4.exe But if your phone is new then it should already have this version.

HTH BTW Under "Latest Software" they are still showing ActiveSync 3.7.1 - this, of course, is not the latest - one day Orange will catch up.... Edited January 16, 2005 by Confucious
Guest Tristan Posted January 16, 2005 Report Posted January 16, 2005 Well, in theory, you should be able to use Qtek's ROMs. Just not yet, you have to wait a bit until Zone-MR gets his NbfTool to write back to the ROM. This way, you can change the ROM header and thus make the flasher program think it's got an Orange ROM.
Guest ts86 Posted January 16, 2005 Report Posted January 16, 2005 Ok, thanks guys. I don't think I wil worry about unlocking yet then - don't really want to pay 20 GBP - and I tend to use Orange anyway. I'll take a look at the latest Orange ROM though. Thanks agian.
