New Orange ROM on all new C500's?

[Guest vol_taire]

Hi all,

Got my c500 yesterday, and thought you might be interested to know:

"ROM update versions:

Operator: 4.2.1.1"

..

Windows Media Player 10 Mobile

Version 10.0

Mine just came back from HTC today also. With new ROM installed.

The clowns charged me £28.20 for delivery to Ireland though :evil: For a flipping in warranty repair.

They said it would be next day, it took two days :oops:

[Guest waroffice]

so is it worth me having a warranty repair on my phone, my phones keypad is failing...willi get an update

Curses. Can't believe I got the old ROM if they are releasing phones with the new one on it.

My new C500, on Monday, had WM10 (work phone)

Does this make sure the "leaked" Rom isn't illegal now? As Orange are actually distributing it??

[Guest cuk0724]

Just had a replacement phone delivered by Orange and it has the 4.2.1.1 ROM ;)

Not yet, they may be putting it on new phones but until they release it as an update for the public to download it will still be classed as warez and linking to will not be permitted.

Just had another replacement delivered (not bad only lasted 1 day) and this one has the old version ROM in it. It would seam that it is pot luck as to what is sent out.

Ahhhh, so this is the Orange beta testing then? You say you sent the new ROM'd phone back? Not a software error was it?

No, people tell me I sound like I'm underwater when I speak to them. It's not the ROM version as it also happened on the old version, and now on this phone (also old version ROM). Orange now think it might not be the handset but the SIM, we shall see!!

[Guest quackup]

Actually mate you're looking at the wrong thing . . . thats something to do with windows . . . scroll down the ABOUT screen and find the bit that says "ROM update versions: Operator: "INSERT ROM VERSION HERE" " the operator version has always got a single digit between full-stops i.e the current ROM on mine 4.1.1.4

Check again mate and let us know what you've got and when you brought the phone

oh and 4.1.1.4 is the standard - you'll also know if you have the new ROM if you have Media player 10 instead of 9

Just got my SMT5600 and it says the ROM is 2.0.42.10. How do I go about getting a new ROM version?

[Guest cuk0724]

Ok after 3 replacements Orange thought they should give me a new and not repaired on. Well this one had the new ROM on it.

[Guest mupwangle]

I received a replacement c500 tonight which appears to be a new one and has 4.1.1.4 on it.

If you got a new replacement you would know about it. in the first place you would have to fight for it from CS, and secondly it would arrive in a box with all the cables etc, and you would have to return your entire old phone, battery & all.

The funny thing is CS only ask you to return the charger, bat and phone, but not the SD card. So when you get the new phone you get another sd card ;)

[Guest mupwangle]

>>If you got a new replacement you would know about it.

Yeah, I thought that but I only received a battery and a phone. If it isn't new then the keyboard, screen, battery and case have all been replaced as it is absolutely immaculate. Anyhow, I couldn't send the phone bits back cos I lost it.
