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 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.
Jayman
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!
if I flash the rom of an O2 Exec with I-mate's,
and i have errors and then flash back to O2 rom.
Will they notice?
Will I auto. lose my warranty ?
Hi
As far as I know, they won't be able to see anything if you reflash to old rom.
I flashed my Blueangel with completely different vendor's update because my vendor is lame... and don't support devices well.
Good luck.
what is the difference between O2 Exec and I-mate's ?
Are you alowed to post which site can get the O2 and I-mates rom from?
which is better? JasJar or Exec
Gadi,
it appears that you know enough on the issue as to preffer to use the
i-mate rom (or at least that's what I gathered).
I am just about to buy one - and I am deliberating between the o2 Exec and the i-mate JasJar -- do you have any recommendations as to which is better to buy, and why.
:!: Also -- do you have any problem operating the device with an Israeli (or any non-UK Sim for that matter) SIM -- OR did you have to unlock it - and if you did, how did you do it.
-Also could you direct me to the i-mate rom.
I will appreciate your answer greatly.

Hold on, when you use the imate WWE rom program, which is felt by most to be better, doesn't it overwrite the ext-rom and the radio and the rest, so there is no way, unless you have the equivalent exe file for your original setup, to go back to where you were when you bought it?
An example being I am on t-mob, and they havent released an update to the mda pro yet, so if I use the iMate rom and don't like it, or it bricks my device, then I am stuck until they release one to return the device to life/get it how I want it.
I thought you were doing a proper clean and write to the whole device not just the ext-rom?

Dotan:
As for imate Vs. O2 - The only reason i'd prefer imate is coz
they release more frequent rom updates.
Other than that - the hardware specification is the same (HTC universal).
the software might have been modified to suit o2's requests.
(splash screen, company utils ect.)
So - if i'm buying the phone, it might as well be i-mate's so i dont get all tangeled with warranty B.S...
However - i want to check the claim that the rom flash can be "un-done".
if so - i'd much rather buy an o2 exec that costs bout 100 GBP less..
8)
As for- where to d/l rom updates.. well, after u buy an imate register at www.imate.com and then goto members page.
or - try asking here in the forum, post a topic asking for the latest Jasjar rom!
Behazlacha,
And tell me what u decide to do !
Gadi.
1. Is the i-mate current ROM less buggy?
2. If I flash it to my Exec, will I lose all my current files & settings?
Hi.....
Is it possible to get the O2 TODAY screen on any other fone such as Imate jasjar....???
That software or interface is really handy... Is there a way i can get it on my JASJAR???
THANKS...
Simple:flash it with a O2 rom
hmmm..
Any specific procedure.... where should i get the O2 rom from....?
thanks anyways!!!
Install O2 extended rom with the O2 UI if thats what you are looking for i managed to do so on an orange rom.
Hi All,
Can anyone point me to the official Vodafone UK WM5 ROM for the QTEK 9100?
I want to upgrade to the one of the WM6 Rom's available but want the option to revert back to the official ROM if I experience any issues or have to send the phone back under the contract for faulty replacement etc.
Cheers,
Jon.
I've just sold my O2 Orbit on Ebay and want to replace the rom before i post it off as i dont want any issues or complains with cooked roms.
which wm6.1 rom (standard preferably or closest) can i use?
There are so many roms about on the forum but cant find or think of one closest to my requirements
Cheers

Just put the stock o2 rom on there, the wm6 one.
RUU_Artemis_O2_UK_3.4.206.2_4.1.13.28_02.67.90_Ship.exe
Or the stock HTC rom, also wm6.
HTC_P3300_WWE_3.13.405.1_4.1.13.44_02.94.90_Ship_R.exe
Can't find a link for above file this quickly, but I think its better to the o2 one on the o2 device, would seem perfect for the buyer.
thanks very much
