Guest Shaks Posted February 24, 2003 Report 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
Guest Vector Posted February 24, 2003 Report 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 :)
Guest ClintEastman Posted February 24, 2003 Report 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.
Guest pupton Posted February 24, 2003 Report 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?
Guest leebut Posted February 24, 2003 Report Posted February 24, 2003 Any indication that its a Release copy?
Guest Simon Desser Posted February 24, 2003 Report Posted February 24, 2003 Paul, you should be proud of yourself and this forum. Within 5 minutes of you posting this thread, you've had 400 views!!! :)
Guest Paul [MVP] Posted February 24, 2003 Report Posted February 24, 2003 Wow Simon, that is pretty awesome! P
Guest ClintEastman Posted February 24, 2003 Report 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.
Guest Paul [MVP] Posted February 24, 2003 Report Posted February 24, 2003 And hence the reason for requiring a UK base ROM... P
Guest pupton Posted February 24, 2003 Report 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:
Guest ClintEastman Posted February 24, 2003 Report 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 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?
Guest Paul [MVP] Posted February 24, 2003 Report 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
Guest Shaks Posted February 24, 2003 Report 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: 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
Guest raider Posted February 24, 2003 Report Posted February 24, 2003 Paul, not wanting to rush you or anything :) Please keep us updated on that the changes that this update has made to your phone. Still worried about your earlier statement You should get it today.
Guest g7rqa Posted February 24, 2003 Report Posted February 24, 2003 just called 156.... they say "not before lunchtime" & could not give me a url either!
Guest NXNM Posted February 24, 2003 Report Posted February 24, 2003 Paul, if it is the release version u have why cant you distribute it?
Guest strathclydezero Posted February 24, 2003 Report Posted February 24, 2003 Paul, if it is the release version u have why cant you distribute it? 'cos Orange says so. :wink:
Guest Paul [MVP] Posted February 24, 2003 Report Posted February 24, 2003 Simple NXNM, my Orange contact told me not to. P
Guest yatpeak Posted February 24, 2003 Report Posted February 24, 2003 If you have the release copy, Paul, why can't they just put it on the site? Surely it couldn't take that long! Wyatt
Guest Rob.P Posted February 24, 2003 Report Posted February 24, 2003 Cause the whole of Orange have the morning off and are watching us go mental :)
Guest ClintEastman Posted February 24, 2003 Report 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 :) Why doesn’t that surprise me? 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…
Guest leebut Posted February 24, 2003 Report Posted February 24, 2003 Orange have realy got us by our BALLS :evil:
Guest Vector Posted February 24, 2003 Report Posted February 24, 2003 Leebut said Orange have realy got us by our BALLS And they are squezing very hard :evil:
