Guest Shaks Posted February 24, 2003 Report Share Posted February 24, 2003 Please help, how can I get hold of a rom image to reflash my phone with the original uk rom? If you know anybody with an SPV without DK update, backup their rom onto a 64MB SD card. This SD Card can then be used to flash your rom You cannot make a copy of this SD card to your PC though unfortunately so we could not send you a backup Shaks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Vector Posted February 24, 2003 Report Share Posted February 24, 2003 I hope it isn't a mini update, since it is only half the size of the DK one, and boy am i glad i didn't install the DK update :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ClintEastman Posted February 24, 2003 Report Share Posted February 24, 2003 "]It was e-mailed to me by O, with orders not to distribute! P And that means Paul isn’t going to hand it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest pupton Posted February 24, 2003 Report Share Posted February 24, 2003 Bummer. I dont know anyone with an SPV... Anyone on this board work near the bank of England in the city? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest leebut Posted February 24, 2003 Report Share Posted February 24, 2003 Any indication that its a Release copy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Paul [MVP] Posted February 24, 2003 Report Share Posted February 24, 2003 It is the release copy. P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ClintEastman Posted February 24, 2003 Report Share Posted February 24, 2003 It' 6MB because it "Updates" the updated parts only (the DK one was everything, including the bits that weren’t changed), hence a smaller size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Paul [MVP] Posted February 24, 2003 Report Share Posted February 24, 2003 And hence the reason for requiring a UK base ROM... P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest pupton Posted February 24, 2003 Report Share Posted February 24, 2003 Heres a thought, if I walk down to the local Orange shop and take a snapshot of the ROM on their phone... I have a 128mb card.... What do I need to do? :cry: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ClintEastman Posted February 24, 2003 Report Share Posted February 24, 2003 That's it on the nose paul!! And the reason i did't put the DK on, i would imagine that Orange shops will have a complete flash for the phones that go tits up when upgraded...

Guest rob_pearse Posted February 24, 2003 Report Share Posted February 24, 2003 How exactly will we be getting this update? If it's 6MB I assume we download to a PC and install from there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Paul [MVP] Posted February 24, 2003 Report Share Posted February 24, 2003 As far as i'm aware, the O shops have been told to use the update when it's released on their in store phones, yet they cannot install ActiveSync on their in store PCs, DUH! They have no special SDs or anything yet anyway... P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do I need to do? :cry: That's if they let you If they do then, just follow the sticky thread by DJHope on backing up in the main forum S P.S. you'll lose all data on the SD card so don't forget to back it up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I said that the shops should have a full flash available to limit returns on phones that fail to update (thus cutting support costs), I was talking as if I ran O, but I don’t… Not as far as I know anyway… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
