Guest Arr Too Posted December 3, 2010 Report Share Posted December 3, 2010 (edited) Thanks to jchamier we now have the new ROM that Orange UK are shipping: OUK_P729BV1.0.0B08. Build date is "Wed Oct 20 09:48:18 CST 2010" with ro.com.google.gmsversion=2.1_r9. OUK_P729BV1.0.0B08.R2 (zip file of boot and system for use with ClockworkMod) OUK_P729BV1.0.0B08.recovery (hmm... probably not the original recovery image but ClockworkMod -- anyway, use fastboot to flash it to the recovery partition - MD5=0733acd513717f2dc7ee08809bd7ea20) Edit: it's not the original recovery partition, is it? Oh well. Edit 2: updated to R2 with more accurate file permissions (for rooting). Edited December 4, 2010 by Arr Too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest gambieter Posted December 3, 2010 Report Share Posted December 3, 2010 Well, let's see how long it takes the ROM builders to come up with a custom ROM! ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Arr Too Posted December 3, 2010 Report Share Posted December 3, 2010 Internet was being slow. Updated ROM link and added MD5 for recovery image. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Sebastian404 Posted December 3, 2010 Report Share Posted December 3, 2010 (edited) Interesting to see Midnight Bowling and Uno have made it over from the Other ROM. And that they changed the device name.... List of devices attached P729B_ORANGE_UK device[/code] Edited December 3, 2010 by Sebastian404 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Arr Too Posted December 3, 2010 Report Share Posted December 3, 2010 Of course, minds superior to mine will realise that as the backup was made using ClockworkMod, the recovery partition is actually ClockworkMod and not the original one -- SORRY!

Guest StevenHarperUK Posted December 3, 2010 Report Share Posted December 3, 2010 Does anyone know what's new in this rom ? Maybe the guy who works for Orange ? Thanks I can ask on Monday. I expect one of the reasons is to support the new tft screens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks I don't work for Orange, but from observation: - UNO OD trial added. - Midnight Bowling 2 'trial' added. - Sound Recorder no longer crashes. - Orange Messenger added. - More Languages to pick from. I've not noticed anything else.. still screwed up the wall papers in Launcher2 tho.. Edited December 3, 2010 by Sebastian404 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest StevenHarperUK Posted December 3, 2010 Report Share Posted December 3, 2010 boot Is there a way out of that ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Arr Too Posted December 3, 2010 Report Share Posted December 3, 2010 boot Yeah, that'll be the problem. Just flash it to the recovery partition instead ("fastboot flash recovery OUK_P729BV1.0.0B08.recovery.img"). Put the new ROM zip on the root of your SD card and then flash it using ClockwordMod ("choose zip from SD") and it'll update your boot partition.

Guest Winston69 Posted December 3, 2010 Report Share Posted December 3, 2010 One step ahead of you ;) Seems to be back to normal now thank god, so we can't use superboot on this model version? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Winston69 Posted December 3, 2010 Report Share Posted December 3, 2010 Also just to add I couldn't use the lastest version of clockworkmod to flash this ROM back on, had to revert back to 2.5.0.9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd stick with 2.5.0.9 for now.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Arr Too Posted December 3, 2010 Report Share Posted December 3, 2010 Seems to be back to normal now thank god Phew! So we don't actually need a new recovery image -- that's a relief. The issues you're having look like they may all be to do with the new screen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Arr Too Posted December 3, 2010 Report Share Posted December 3, 2010 Oh, and just in case anyone hasn't worked it out: this ROM runs fine on my 1st Gen (OLED) SanFran. In fact, waiting to see if the dreaded wifi issue rears its head (which is possible seeing as Orange supposedly fixed someone's SanFran remotely).

Guest Winston69 Posted December 3, 2010 Report Share Posted December 3, 2010 I'd guess so? First thing I did was flashed the Superboot boot image and noticed upon reboot the orange logo had changed from orange to a bluey colour? Then all the apps etc looked different to before, wasn't sure if it was a new feature like a theme change, lol.. Then after the screen slept it wouldn't come back on, knew the phone was still alive as it had haptic feedback still on, so touching one of the hardware keys made it vibrate It's all very strange Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You going to cause problems for yourself there, since the kernel from that is based on the old OUK one,,, leave the stock one on, and use clockwork to install ROMS n' stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Of course, on the OLED version there is no backlight to remember to turn on.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
