Guest alexjacobs Posted April 21, 2005 Report Share Posted April 21, 2005 This update will not work in the mpx200 as it is hardware specific. As for an update for the mpx200 I would hazard a guess at probably not as this is now quite an old model... But you never know. 8) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Gavin Posted April 21, 2005 Report Share Posted April 21, 2005 For £20 IMEI-check is having a laugh. I'd rather wait until Orange UK release the update :evil: Tried it anyway and the installer said I have an incompatible model. ;) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> That's your opinion. Good luck with that.

Guest peekie Posted April 21, 2005 Report Share Posted April 21, 2005 you can only flash back if your phone has been sim unlocked via imei-check.co.uk <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I have flashed my c500 back to the uk rom and now back again to the french rom and i do not have the unlock from imei check only an original unlock code from orange , Will the new dutch rom have wmp10? remember holland we are still behind the others in rom updates its probably the old rom you will get :?: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Pennan Posted April 21, 2005 Report Share Posted April 21, 2005 Here's a short list of reasons to upgrade to Windows Media Player 10 Mobile: * Better support for playlists * Support for a library (the simple list in WMP9 is useless for albums) * Support for better syncing in Windows Media Player 10 (on Windows XP) * Support for Windows XP Media Center * Support for album art images * Support for skins * Support for PhotoStory 3 (WMP9 only does PhotoStory 2) * Support for MP3 ring tones in the OS (yes, finally!) * Support for other codecs provided by the manufacturer (could be MPEG-4 etc) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ma1234 Posted April 21, 2005 Report Share Posted April 21, 2005 So can I SIM unlock using imei-check after installing the French ROM or is that a no go now too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Pondrew Posted April 21, 2005 Report Share Posted April 21, 2005 I'm afraid it's been suggested that you cannot imei-check unlock AFTER installing this rom... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Pondrew Posted April 21, 2005 Report Share Posted April 21, 2005 actually i just found it, the reference was to the imate jam. sorry. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> No it wasn't. This won't install on an Imate Jam (it's a Pocket PC so not only different hardware but different OS), they were talking about the I-Mate SP3 (which it will work on with effort) and the SP3i (which it would probably install on only to kill the joystick as it doesn't have the right driver). I haven't done this but am I not right in thinking that the folks who have IMEI-check unlocked their C500s can just install without using the typhoon tool and editing headers?

Yes - I did it this morning. My phone was sim-unlocked using the IMEI-check and also application unlocked using the application emailed to me from Orange. The update went without a hitch - had to change the language to UK English and the regional settings as well, but it's been fine. Phone is still sim-unlocked and, to my surprise, application unlocked as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest kalamaca Posted April 21, 2005 Report Share Posted April 21, 2005 Being bit of a newbie... whats the advantage of getting your c500 unlocked other than installing software? I had my phone nicked the other day, (I've got a replacement now) and I phoned up to block the phone and sim etc. If its unlocked would it still block?

Guest steve_smith Posted April 21, 2005 Report Share Posted April 21, 2005 Afraid not, as paul has mentioned theres a good chance we wont see this rom released in the uk <{POST_SNAPBACK}> This is the impression I get too. And to think we are being bombarded by TV adverts at the moment with Orange UK going on about how their policy is to look after existing customers and put them first. I would vote with my wallet and change service providers, but the other operators in the UK are also sloath like in launching and supporting MS Smartphones (unless I've missed someone). T-Mobile for example... How many months passed between their version of the C500 (SDA something or other?) appearing in Germany and the UK? Steve.

WMP9 is fine for me so I'm gonna save myslef the headache of changing the rom, altho I'm going to gonna have a look at this celltrack thing instead, looks pretty nifty!

Guest craig_b Posted April 21, 2005 Report Share Posted April 21, 2005 Hi Guys, This is getting confusing now..........from what I can work out from all these posts. I need to get my phone unlocked first using this IMEI-check.com right? Then I need to get it application unlocked using the orange website right? Then I can install the french rom using the instructions in previous post right? I use TOMTOM go on my phone at the moment quite a lot, works a treat, how does bluetooth work on the new rom update? Does it work ok or are there any implications? Craig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
