Hi guys i had a xda from day one and got on really well with it.
so when i found a great deal on a spv m1000 (xda2 but orange branded) i jumped at it) but i do have a new newbie questions.
1/ Where can i download a mms composer? (also is there one for xda1? as my wife has that phone now)
2/ Is there any rom kitchens for the xda2? or special edition roms.
3/ i am still with o2 should i flash the new o2 rom to my orange spv m1000?
p.s i have unlocked it if that makes any diffrence
Sorry if these have been asked before.
Thanks in advance.
Max
also can i install this http://www.sourceo2.com/O2_Developers/Devices/O2_Xda_II/XdaIIRom.htm onto my spv m1000?
cheers
1) MMS on the XDA 1 has to be done through EZwap - This may already be on the phone if you have upgraded the ROM from a kitchen.
2) There are still a few functioning ROM kitchens where you can cook just what you need into a ROM check here http://lumpistefan.dyndns.org/
3) I would stay away from the O2 ROM - you will only want to remove it when you realise it is a waste of space. I would move totally to Orange if I was you.
PS I am looking to move to Orange - can you PM me the details of the deal you got.. Thanks.

thanks you have mail
, so can i use that rom from my last post? i was always happy with the o2 rom on my xda1 and this one offers everything i need
also i thought roms from that kitchen were for xda1 not xda2? do you flash in the same way?
cheers
The ROMS in that kitchen are definately for XDA, NOT the XDA II. I know of no kitchens or special ROMs for the 2 - some folks flash a ROM from another provider, but that's about as far as it goes.
thanks, so could i flash the uk o2 rom onto my orage spv m1000? the o2 rom would be better for me as i am on o2
thanks
Guys? anyone please !!!!!!
OK . . . I'll jump in, even though I have not had the need to do such a thing.
I would say that you certainly could do it. The only problem might be a country ID error. If so, there are many threads in this forum to help you past that one.
Best of luck!

I'm on Orange and currently have an XDA2 that was once on an O2 contract.
Is it possible to flash the XDA2 with the M1000 ROM? If so, what are the benefits / pitfalls and what am I likely to gain / lose?
Many thanks in advance!
yes all xda2 devices have the same hardware and can change roms to all other roms
you loose o2 programs in the extended rom and you get orange programs in the extended rom
Thanks Rudegar!
Any 'gems' in either of the extended ROMs that are unique to either ROM?
no idear people can edit the extented roms and add what ever they like
what extra stuff is in the orange and o2 rom i have no idear
the rom i got with mine had the 2 windows games sol and jawbreaker
Can I ask where you'll be getting the M1000 Rom?
I have the M1000 which I've reflashed with V1.72 imate, and want to ger hold of the original M1000 just incase I have to return it.
By the way I'm happy with the imate rom
Hi all,
Would someone be able to upload the whole M600 Orange rom to the ftp?
There already the ext. rom, but I would like to downgrade with the full rom as my prophet is clearly dead on the wifi side and will be switched with another one by Orange France.
Thanks,
Cedric
nevermind, my device will be replaced tommorow, I'll let the Orange technicians work on stting it back to their rom...
Although they should let it on the dopod one as it is clearly better :wink:
Hey all,
A little up for this one, would be nice for French Users to have this Rom uploaded.
It has not been released by Orange, but if someone manage to find it or backup it... that would help!
Thanks
Dear All,
I am new to this forum which i just joined today. Currently i am trying to figure out my newly bought SPV M600 from u.k but i m located in Malaysia. Any errors or failure on my SPV M600 will be a nightmare for me because i cannt get back to U.K and fix the SPV M600.
After i surf through the whole prophet section, i didnt able to get a proper guidelines on updating the ROM in SPV M600 to Dopod 818 pro ROM. First of all is it possible that i update the Dopod 818 Pro latest ROM? Is it compatible?
If yes please teach me the right ways to perform it. I really scare that my SPV M600 will be gone.
Any specific intruction on the update? To make it perfect?
Don't worry about your SPV m600 ther's no need to get it back to UK..You just have to search around in this forum..go to Prophet Section, surely you'll find tolls nedded and instruction
what is the SPL / IPL of your phone?
I have an M600 myself and on an Orange ROM and wonderig if the Dopod ROM is better and the pros and cons of upgrading from orange to dopod.
Also pls be sure that once you have flashed to a non orange rom u cant go back to the orange rom as it aint available nowhere.

when i try yo go through the wiki.xda-developers.com and under the phophet section there is no information. all the links seems contain no information. wondering where to start from.
and also is this rom working fine with spv m600? http://www.dopodasia.com/download/RUU_Prophet_2151327_21513121_021921_DOP_ASIA_WWE_Ship.exe
what is extended rom? can i have a link on that. thanks
Take a look at this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=50995&start=0
Be aware that if you upgrade to Dopod, there's no turning back for now with this rom, meaning you won't be able to downgrade until a solution is found.
I have installed myself that dopod rom instead of the orange FR one, and I think it have better speed, but appart of that, don't really see the difference appart from some stuff missing in the dopod (like pvplayer for live tv and the rotate screen) and some useless stuff in dopod like auto config for Asian phone providers.
In my case I've update to dopod because it was the better rom atm and I wanted to get rid of that AZERTY french keyboard config which is far from handy on a phone and have a QWERTY.
Now it's up to you to know if you wanna risk it :wink:

rockdaman: And you cant go back to Orange rom once you flash to Dopod. Do let us know if you do flash and if you like dopod any better?
Cedrick: Since the Orange ROM already had AKU2 i assume it is the newest ROM out there comparable to the latest Jamin ROM. Your thoughts pls?

cellchamp: currently i am waiting the response from dopod malaysia about the support on SPV M600. because i asked them whether they support it when it is broken or any failure on it. waiting for thier response. Currently my phone just purely for calling only and i cant GPRS and MMS.
I know this might sounds dumb to alot of you but I really do not know!! Can I replace the Orange ROM with arabic I mate JAMin one?? PLease advise..Thanks in advance
Absolutely. Many people have changed the Roms to different brands. I use the Dopod Rom on a Qtek, so no problem, as long as you have any arabic rom for the Prophet ;-)
Cheers mate..will do it tonight
oh ..but I do have english/arabic i mate ROM. but where I can get the origional Orange one if I needed it for Warranty issues?.any ideas?
If you want to preserve the Rom you already have, for future needs, it is best to extract it yourself. There are posts in this forum about how to do it (never tried it myself), so do some searching and you should find it.
Cheers.
Hi all,
I am SO eager to buy an O2 XDA Orbit 2 from Germany but I am kinda a bit too uneasy...
I will need to re-flash an English ROM to it. Either O2 UK's or HTC Touch Cruise's.
Does anyone know for sure that it can be done by simply re-flashing the ROM? No extra hacks needed?
And are these English ROMs available on the net yet?
Thanks a whole lot to all the gurus here in advance!
This is the info you need:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=368123&page=8
This is the file you need:
ftp://xda:[email protected]_radio_sign_25.65.30.04_1.58.21.23_Ship.exe
Thanks a lot!
Sorry, there is too much said in that thread, I don't think I'll find the answer to this one:
"Does anyone know for sure that it can be done by simply re-flashing the ROM? No extra hacks needed?"
I mean that I used to re-flash ROM upgrades to my Atom Life "just like that".
What if this ROM doesn't accept the Device ID of the German Orbit 2?
A number of users have flashed this rom on orbit II after hard spl and seems to be working fine. but i suggest you spend a couple of minutes going over the thread in any case. it's always useful.
do hardspl from olipro the geatest.
flash ROM
UR now fully WWE
PS: backup UR cab files from original rom first (operator settings....) they are in \windows\ - Polaris doesnt have extRom.
Apparently it seems that you will have to hard SPL to flash. But is is quite simple, so don't worry ;-)
(sorry, dupe of phsnake's post above. He beat me by 2 minutes ;-0 )

Don't worry, mate, I did just that two days ago. I had bought an XDA Orbit2 from O2 Germany and I hated the German ROM (actually I hate localized software even though English is not my mother tongue).
So what you do is really simple and there is no chance anything to go wrong:
1) Install HardSPL from olipro (you can find it in this forum somewhere)
2) Install the official (not the dumped one) WWE (World Wide English) ROM from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=368123
And that's it! Enjoy a "native" interface!
Later on you will be able to upgrade to any ROM by simply installing it over the previous one. The HardSPL step you do only once
O2 XDA Orbit II : cannot overwrite WWE on German, wrong vendor ID
Hi ingenious,
I need to use my XDA device in English as my German is too poor to be able to use German softwares.
I've tried steps you have described but still I am unable to write Polaris WWE on my O2 XDA Orbit II device. Can you help me?
Please give me your number at [email protected] so I could call you back for step by step guidance.
Where do you live in Saarbrücken? I've also studied in Uni SB 2002-2005 and now I live in Berlin.
I have all the files download from this forum, whoever has said something about download .
Also I have "Hard-SPL" , "Hard-SPL-V7" and "RUU_Polaris_HTC_WWE_1.25.405.1_radio_sign_25.65.30.04_1.58.21.23_Ship.exe".
What else do I need?
Thank you in advance for your help.

Thank you so much fktsndr:
I am successful in converting German O2 XDA Orbit 2 to English.
I used "Hard-SPL-V2.zip" from your given link and "RUU_Polaris_HTC_WWE_1.25.405.1_radio_sign_25.65.3 0.04_1.58.21.23_Ship.exe" as English rom.
Only TomTom was gone and is not working after new installation as advised in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=1929057
but now my GPS device is not giving any signals.
