French Update SPV c500 + TomTom

[Guest bunnyman69]

I have installed the spv c_500 French update, all went very well. I see the new media player (although i used BetaPlayer anyway). The camera looks very good and pictures are much clearer and brighter. Only had installed this afternoon so not played around with too much. My problem is now how to get my TomTom Mobile 4 up and running again. I seem to remember before there was an incoming and outgoing port setting (6 and 7) which was found by start/more/..... configurations/ then somesort of serial setup. This has now gone. However from start/settings/bluetooth/bluetooth then menu there is now a COM ports tab under devices (not sure if was there before) by selecting this and then menu again you get option to add new outgoing, and new incoming. I have tried both these as 6 and 7 and can't get to work. My bluetooth GPS reciever is being found no problem by the way.

Any ideas, preferably off someone with an uk orange spv_c500 with a French Update.

I'm about to see if i can get back to the original update stage if i get no joy.

Yes mine is a non standard BT GPS reciever, but worked well before. (yes have traffic update and all what was needed before,....... after someone pinched original receiver) must be a big pile of these things somewhere....... and maybe my cigarette lighter is there too.

Cant get back to the stage of having the original Orange update 4.1.1.4

Have just payed 20 quid to use the http://www.imei-check.co.uk/ but this hasn't worked either. At the moment looks like this little app does in at least 2 stages. Mine dont get passed the first. I have emailed them about 5 mins ago so keep ya informed about getting back to original state too.

Just wish i could get TomTom working thats all cus i love my new camera,

looks like your stuck with it! reading the posts regarding the french update you should have unlocked your phone via imei-check before updating or else you cant go back to any rom :shock:

[Guest bunnyman69]

mirpy1 you are 100% correct so upgraders beware, imei-check think there will be an unlocker out for this French version about July-ish

[Guest bunnyman69]

Ok i'm all sorted now

Firstly DO NOT upgrade using the French rom unless you have payed the well deserved 20 quid to http://www.imei-check.co.uk/ its that simple. After this you can play about with as many roms as you want upgrade, downgrade even sidewaysgrade

Secondly if like me you think, ah no problems i'll take a chance then this is the Saviour you are looking for...... he even put it back to the 4.1.1.4 official Orange firmware for me

With regard to your original question, I could not get tomtom to work with the french rom for exactly the same reasons as you.

There clearly can't be many people who have tried the French rom AND use tomtom mobile, or if there are, they are keeping their results to themselves! :roll:

[Guest bunnyman69]

I reckon if Orange Uk launch their update and is the same as the French one there will be a few Tomtomless people out there, but someone must have an answer

I've some good news for all of you who can't get TTM get working again.

It seems that TTM 5 is running like a charme on the C500 with the latest French rom update with WM10.

From what I heared buying the newest TTM 5 seems to be the best solution.
