Guest i am not a hacker Posted September 11, 2012 Report Share Posted September 11, 2012 Can you not revert to orange ROM? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 11, 2012 Report Share Posted September 11, 2012 (edited) Nope. How could we? There is no update zip for the orange rom, to revert we need unlock bootloader and a rom dump of orange rom.

Guest vermat17 Posted September 11, 2012 Report Share Posted September 11, 2012 Guys do you think it's a possibility now that Orange is officially becoming EE (correct me if I'm wrong btw), they will take a different stand on unlocking the bootloader??

Guest domenico lamberti Posted September 11, 2012 Report Share Posted September 11, 2012 from my understanding, Orange And T-Mobile are still 2 seperately owned and run companies, and EE is a third brand completely different, so i doubt they will, but hopefully they leave an exploit in the ICS firmware and we cant get root or something, its a start Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest scuzzbucket Posted September 12, 2012 Report Share Posted September 12, 2012 EE is the trading name of the combined Orange/T-Mobile company. I've heard they plan on opening combined shops too. Probably going to, eventually, completely get rid of Orange/T-Mo branding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest BlueMoonRising Posted September 13, 2012 Report Share Posted September 13, 2012 Glossywhite i get either T-Mobile or Orange Signal everywhere i go, in the south east of the UK atleast i cant speak for up north, but here its great I get a good signal all over the East of Scotland, better than my son when he was on VodaCanNotfone. I've noticed that what Glossywhite likes to call "teasing" is ALWAYS negative, he really needs to lighten up a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Immortal7 Posted September 13, 2012 Report Share Posted September 13, 2012 I managed to have a chat to one of the Orange advisors online.... here's how it went: Welcome to Orange online chat. One of our advisors will be with you as soon as possible. You're now chatting to Paul. Paul: Hello, you're chatting to Paul. I am part of the dedicated Orange Online Sales Team. How can I help you with your new order? Paul: Hello Mike mike: Hi, It's not a new order but I own a San Diego mike: I have a question Paul: May I know your query? mike: Yeah, I would like to know when the software update is due, can you help me with that? Paul: Mike, it is expected to be available by end of this year. Paul: Probably by November. mike: Can you be anymore specific? I have heard rumours of it being available this month? Paul: It's will not be available this month as there are no updates yet. mike: I see. Would you be able to confirm a possible update to Jellybean? I have read that Intel have ported it to there devices Paul: Jellybeans, updates will be available with in 2 months for sure, so it will be better to wait for the Jelly beans. mike: Ok, thanks for your help. Paul: My pleasure Mike. Paul: Is there anything else I can help you with? Not sure what to make of it, I'm guessing he's confusing Jellybean with ICS?

Guest technomole Posted September 16, 2012 Report Share Posted September 16, 2012 Seeing as there's no ics for the osd as yet, I though't I'd post some observations of my phone since I stuck the xolo update on it. For a start there's a load of extra space, which although I expected some extra mb's here and there I wasn't expecting quite as much as I seem to have and I actually have extra apps to what I had before I used the update. The phone seems more responsive, not that it was very laggy anyway, but now it's pretty quick when doing most things, even when I have loads of stuff going on. There has been mention of the phone forgetting to connect to wireless networks, which I myself had experienced, but it doesn't do it now, so I wonder if it might have been something to do with the orange bloat ? has anyone else found this. And finally the battery seems to last longer, and not only that I'm saving a little on data, which I assume is down to the lack of orange apps attempting to use a data connection. I'm now wondering what else might improve with ics :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never had this. Running stock Orange firmware, customised as much as Android lets me :-) Would be interesting to see a xolo updated phone side-by-side with a stock phone. I wonder how much performance can be gained by replacing the launcher etc. without changing the firmware. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest vermat17 Posted September 16, 2012 Report Share Posted September 16, 2012 Just wondering if the root method from @bin4ryDigit that Paul posted might work on the OSD once it gets ICS?? Didn't Paul say it rooted his bootloader locked Nexus 7?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ribs85 Posted September 17, 2012 Report Share Posted September 17, 2012 Anyone tried this : http://www.unlockroot.com/ found it on xda. Has some 2.3.7 devices listed as working. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest i am not a hacker Posted September 17, 2012 Report Share Posted September 17, 2012 Well in the next 2 weeks we will be receiving ICS from XOLO (don't know when from Orange), so we could try this. http://www.talkandroid.com/132311-new-universal-root-method-promises-to-root-most-ics-and-jelly-bean-devices/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest vermat17 Posted September 17, 2012 Report Share Posted September 17, 2012 Looks promising guys, it seems ICS opens up a whole new world of possibilities for root :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
