Guest Sean Saunders Posted August 19, 2007 Report Share Posted August 19, 2007 Good Evening, This is my first post on the board, but i have been looking round for a few hours now in search of an answer to my question. How do i make a "image" or ROM Backup of the WM5 that is shipped with the Orange SPV M3100. I would like to know how to do this before i consider using the device and tweaking it to suit my own needs. If anyone knows how to do this i would be eternally greatful. I work in IT Repairs day to day but this thing is out of my league i think haha. Regards, Sean Saunders Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Sean Saunders Posted August 20, 2007 Report Share Posted August 20, 2007 Thanks guys, ill take a look into these. Is that orange "Upgrade" rom basically a whole new rom that would just install? So for example if i upgrade to WM6 and then have a problem i could just overwrite it with the file on the orange website? ill have a read of that guide also, thanks for the help so far!

Guest mandt Posted August 20, 2007 Report Share Posted August 20, 2007 You are correct in that the download from Orange is a complete new ROM. Other people will know more than me, I have never flashed a Hermes but certainly in the case of my device (Wizard) you cannot 'downgrade' the ROM simply by reflashing, although it can be done. Hopefully someone with experience of changing Hermes ROMs will pick this up and advise you properly :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mitch1974 Posted August 20, 2007 Report Share Posted August 20, 2007 (edited) You could install the HardSPL boot loader, then that would allow you to downgrade the ROM if you feel like it. Not sure how this effects warranty though. Edited August 20, 2007 by mitch1974 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure how this effects warranty though. Unfortunately I didn't install the HardSPL boot loader before i upgraded, now there is a problem with teh phone and I need to restore it back to its original Orange state. Does anyone know how to get the M3100 back to its original state or have the original ROM that I can just flash the phone with? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
