Guest Shaunfarris Posted September 15, 2006 Report Posted September 15, 2006 Hi All, I just found this link to the latest Orange ROM update (Dated 25th August 2006) Latest SPV M5000 ROM Can anyone tell me what it gives that the previous update didnt, as its quite a painfull job upgrading the ROM then having to re-install all my software and registering and configuring it all back to how I want it. Just wondered if it would be worth the effort. Cheers
Guest Jasonkruys Posted September 16, 2006 Report Posted September 16, 2006 The only change is that it includes Radio ROM 1.13...not really worth it IMHO. If u really wanted to, you could upgrade the radio rom only, and leave everything else as is...
Guest b16mts Posted September 20, 2006 Report Posted September 20, 2006 I have never done an update since buying the phine in december, so i thought i'd go for it. i haven't noticed many changes, apart from a different boot up screen and a different radio control screen, oh and the fact that it seems to crash every couple of days now,requiring a soft reboot, whereas before it might of crashed every few weeks!! ah well, you live and learn!

Guest AndyCr15 Posted November 5, 2006 Report Posted November 5, 2006 What version are the other parts of the rom? Could someone confirm? I did one ROM update about 6 months back, which helped a lot... just want to be sure it's only the radio ROM that I would update I guess.

Anyone know what's in the new new one (dated 6th November)? m5000ruu.exe - just downloading now update:- seemingly nothing. "your device is about to be updated from ce 1.30.90, ext 1.30.174, radio 1.13.00 to ce 1.39.90, ext 1.30.174, radio 1.13.00". Edited November 12, 2006 by bluemeat

Also, although I dont know what M$ did under the hood of AKU 2 - but IE page loading etc is alot quicker than it used to be!! Matt
Guest manveruppd Posted July 19, 2007 Report Posted July 19, 2007 Faster page loading in IE could be simply the updated radio ROM. I thought about patching my phone with this update until I ran across this thread. If the radio ROM is the only real change, then I might as well only install that update and save me having to hard-reset the device... Has nobody seen any noticeable improvement from installing this?
Guest Confucious Posted July 19, 2007 Report Posted July 19, 2007 You mean people are still running WM5 on their Universal? :)
Guest spvlover Posted August 8, 2007 Report Posted August 8, 2007 Apperantly yes.. people are running wm5 on thair Universal. Ive tried flashing a cuple times... no sucsess. Im just worried to brick my phone... Ill buy a new Handset with rthe operating system... its less risky:-)
Guest Mr.Clark Posted August 8, 2007 Report Posted August 8, 2007 You mean people are still running WM5 on their Universal? :) Ho ho... Regardless of how stable it appears to be, I wouldn't trust most of my M5000 users with an unofficial ROM. They're quite capable of breaking the phone anyway, so if they can send it directly back to Orange without needing me to re-flash it first, that speeds responses up. :P That said, I'm happy on WM6 on my personal Universal, so it's all good, really...
Guest pcdiver Posted August 12, 2007 Report Posted August 12, 2007 I found the start screen is much more friendlier with calender reminders being shown when you boot up. Seems to be generally more user friendly. Richard
