Guest mattscholey Posted November 16, 2003 Report Posted November 16, 2003 so when the update is released on :shock: wednesday :shock: Where did you get this date from? Matt
Guest Jasonkruys Posted November 16, 2003 Report Posted November 16, 2003 I'm not sure whether it amuses me or annoys me all the people on here complaining that they can't do this or can't do that with a certain update, all updates that they should never even have in the first place! Come on people, are you surprised that these 'leaked' updates or updates designed for other networks dont work exactly as they should, and will when they are released officially? :roll:
Guest MARKUKCOUK Posted November 16, 2003 Report Posted November 16, 2003 well, using the method above (changing the NK file), ive now managed to downgrade my E100 back to 1.5 Swiss from 1.63 NL, which will (hopefully) allow me to upgrade to 1.6UK on the 19th!
Guest Simon Desser Posted November 16, 2003 Report Posted November 16, 2003 I guess that people that are stuck with this new version, need to downgrade the bootloader to http://smartphone.MoDaCo.com/viewtopic.php?t=2628>0.93 by SD/MMC card. I had same problem about a month ago with Smart 1.6 from Phillipines... :roll: But now I got a SD/MMC with http://smartphone.MoDaCo.com/viewtopic.php?t=2628>0.93 and can downgrade anytime. This 1.63 NL ROM doesn't seem to let you change the bootloader, and USBTerm doesn't work with it either :!: Even a FULL back up on SD card (which used to be the safest bet) won't work :!:
Guest mwille Posted November 16, 2003 Report Posted November 16, 2003 Same is said (by one of the mods severall pages back) to be true for the UK 1.61 build.. :?
Guest HurricaneDave Posted November 16, 2003 Report Posted November 16, 2003 Posted from my SmartPhone! to matt scholey i got .wednesday. direct from orange data support
Guest nytehawk2002 Posted November 16, 2003 Report Posted November 16, 2003 If this is off topic I apologize but.... Why is it that the UK Rom is only on v1.36 and the CH rom is 1.5? Whats the benefit I have from being on 1.5 as opposed to 1.36? Why such a version difference for the same phone in a different country? There's really no documentation about cross country releases. Anyone have any juice on this?

Anyone have any juice on this? If I'm not wrong(?) the UK presently available' rom is a 1.5 as well.
Guest kyrkesmith Posted November 16, 2003 Report Posted November 16, 2003 And if I'm not wrong, it isn't available as an update. It is just installed on E100s. Orange decided not to release it as an update for SPVs.
Guest Pondrew Posted November 16, 2003 Report Posted November 16, 2003 And if I'm not wrong, it isn't available as an update. It is just installed on E100s. Orange decided not to release it as an update for SPVs. ...although my original SPV came back from a warranty repair having been upgraded from 1.3 to 1.5. It is possible although I think only service centre's can presently do it. I'm eagerly awaiting this 1.6 update as the rest of you although more eagerly awaiting the arrival of the E200 I ordered last week! :lol: As for the leaked update, I'm with the 'you install it at your own risk' crowd. Don't start blaming Orange or anyone else for the consequences.
Guest morpheus2702 Posted November 16, 2003 Report Posted November 16, 2003 I am so glad that I am a complete donut when it comes to bootloaders, USB terminals, upgrades, downgrades, sideways... roll on Wednesday!
Guest xanadu Posted November 16, 2003 Report Posted November 16, 2003 I am going to wait for the official UK 1.6 update. I have tried Imate and Qtek versions, but have found no real improvements over the original SPV UK version. They are all very slow on SMS Text messaging. I hope the 1.6 version fixes this annoying problem.
Guest neilfenstein Posted November 16, 2003 Report Posted November 16, 2003 So is the UK update due wednesday? people keep asking but no one has given a proper answer!! Cheers, I updated to the qtek rom a while back and screwed my spv up so not risking this NL bad boy!! If the update is wednesday it is not long to wait at all!!
Guest midnight Posted November 16, 2003 Report Posted November 16, 2003 so, if its not out on wednesday you can be publicly flogged and humiliated? :lol:
Guest neilfenstein Posted November 16, 2003 Report Posted November 16, 2003 Oh yeah guess that is what your logo is about under your name! he he sorry. Thanks
Guest spacecowboy6982 Posted November 16, 2003 Report Posted November 16, 2003 I know - god, there alot riding on this hehe. Still wont believe you until I can download it myself :lol: spacecowboy
Guest roke Posted November 16, 2003 Report Posted November 16, 2003 Still wont believe you until I can download it myself My thoughts exactly...
Guest morpheus2702 Posted November 16, 2003 Report Posted November 16, 2003 Public flogging on MoDaCo? Oooh, that'd be setting a precedent - can the flogs be backdated to include '1.5 update appearing with release of E100' and 'E200 will definitely have a 200Mhz processor'? :wink: In that case we'd all be flogged and I would drown under a pile of rancid tomatos.
Guest nixy Posted November 16, 2003 Report Posted November 16, 2003 so, if its not out on wednesday you can be publicly flogged and humiliated? :lol: No... but I WILL plaster across MoDaCo the name AND extension number of the employee who layed out in detail most of what I asked them for (release date and other relevant Rom information).................Even if we are related...... say no more :wink:
Guest hecatae Posted November 17, 2003 Report Posted November 17, 2003 Not really, check out this post by Dumdidum two pages back : I found a way back to another image.........................! First download the update which you want to install unrar it with WINRAR. Then start again the update 1.63 and proceed until he says that he will now update! At this point, copy the NK.nbf-File from your update to the this directory: C:Program FilesRUU_ORG_NL there it should replace the 1.63-NK.nbf! then he will install the version you want instead of 1.63! SUPER! :lol: Should be put in the "how to" section, this is brilliant advice ! hope this works, msn works but battery life is worse than 1.5uk
Guest hecatae Posted November 17, 2003 Report Posted November 17, 2003 and that "how to" does not work for my e100. Keeps saying the rom image is wrong. this is from bootloader screen as well. :cry:
Guest xanadu Posted November 18, 2003 Report Posted November 18, 2003 Can someone with the Official UK 1.61 update confirm if USBTERM still works ?
Guest roke Posted November 18, 2003 Report Posted November 18, 2003 hm, I didn't know the official 1.61 update was out yet. Did I miss something?
Guest statscat Posted November 18, 2003 Report Posted November 18, 2003 hmmmmmmmm I guess the only people with the official as yet unreleased ROM are orange ......... and that would only be a release candidate. I guess this is what happens when software gets leaked, we all get confused. It may well have been a release candidate, but then again maybe it wasn't maybe it wasn't released because of these issues and others that are getting reported as bug, I think we all need to view the leaked code as that, leaked and therefore with issues. I think its one of those painful wait and see moments, Mr ORange may know the answer though.
