Locked m5000, safe to update ROM? - JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General

I can't find the answer to this after searching the forums. I apologise if this is a repeat question.
I have an SPV m5000 which is still locked.
I have updated with the latest Orange ROM and the 1.09.00 radio already.
Is it safe to put the i-Mate ROM on it before I get the code from Orange?
I have the code coming, but you know how it is when you get a new toy, you want to be playing with the ROMs and making your own without waiting "up to 28 days" for this silly little £20 code.
Thanks in advance.

New spv m1000 (xda2) user

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!

MDA Vario ROM

Hi guys
Just a quick question and I hope you guys can answer me.
I have got the MDA Vario with T-Mobile and have upgraded the ROM to 2.17.7.2 WWE (this is the Qtek Rom) and it works just great.
My question is, however, can I downgrade this ROM to the original T-Mobile ROM it came with?
I am wondering since I want to send the phone back to T-Mobile but am worried if they see I have upgraded it they will not take it back.
Please help.
Thanks kindly
You'll need to use lokiwiz to unlock the device and then reinstall the opriginal ROM. As you have an AKU2 ROM you'll need to downgrade the ROm first to an old custom QTEk ROM and then run lokiwiz to unlock then re-install the ROM. There s along post on this forum or the upgrade forum on how to do this. There are alos posts re putting the device back into it's original state if you need to ship it back to a vendor - can't find them just now but would suggest you trawl the forums... painful though it may be
Hey thanks loads. I have looked around to try and find how to restore everything but can't find it yet. I'll carry on looking but if you can suddenly remember where they are I'd appreciate it
Also, do I have to downgrade the QTek ROM first, or can I just install the T-Mobile ROM straight away?
Thanks again

Does it matter that the link above looks like it is for US? I have UK T-Mobile
DaveyG th solution is explained at http://forum.xda-developers.com/vie...IBwAAABi/2UG&bcsi_scan_filename=viewtopic.php
If you want a TMo UK ROM got ot the TMo UK Site http://t-mobile.iris-global.com/mdas.html
Thanks JoninLA, the phone is unlocked using Loki already as that is how I upgraded the ROM, but I will make sure I have unlocked it and then install the original ROM from the T-Mobile site.
Thanks so much again, now I should be able to send it back, providing it all works...

white softbank x01ht

Hello everyone.
Japan just released a new version of x01ht, white in color. Does anyone know if this is sim / cid locked? anyway to unlock it using the tool in the wiki.
Thanks a lot
I saw it in one shop, and all I know it has new ROM version, 1.33.761.5... Hmmmm...
there is no reason for them to release an unlocked softbank phone.
Anyone know the bootloader version?
I've heard that it is > 1.09
i have a Softbank X01ht in white color, but how can i see the bootloader version?
Check Wiki, damn it!!! (Under "Hacks & Tweaks" and "How to Hardreset and/or Enter into Bootloader")
Don't forget to check radio and OS versions...
my white x01ht's bootloader version is 1.09,
OS 5.1.195,
ROM version 1.33.761.5
radio version 1.14.01.10
so, any unlockable method?
thanks a lot...
Yes... here...
There is already a store selling the unlocked version of new "While" X01HT with very expensive price. I am sure the store owner is one of the member here.
X01HT ROM Version 1.33.761.5
I need to know a definite "Yes" or "No" if the X01HT with ROM Version 1.33.761.5 can be unlocked and if so, how do I proceed to doing so? I recently tried upgrading my unit's OS which was running and older version of Windows Mobile to the latest but it went brick on me so I took it in to Softbank and they fixed it but it came back with the current 1.33.761.5 and the Japanese Windows Mobile OS. Help!

Where is this store?!?
Where?
Yes. I too would like to know where this store is and if it's in the Tokyo area. Also, I don't need to buy a unit since I already have one but rather would like to just get it unlocked and have the language changed from the default Japanese to English. There was one place in Tokyo that I used to take all my phones to get them unlocked but that company is no longer in business. If anyone has any "specific" information on where one can go to get this done, then please include the details. Thanks.
blacksamurai, i'll be getting mine next week from Softbank. If pof could come up with a new version of the unlocker that can unlock the new white X01HT that I'll be getting, then I'll help you unlock yours after that - alright?
I can help you for free
black samurai, I can teach how to change to english your X01HT and unlocked. email me at [email protected]
Thanks!
auyongtc and junulrik thanks a lot for wanting to help. I just need to be certain that it's the ROM Version 1.33.761.5 and NOT the ROM Version 1.33.761.4 that you can help me unlock and have the language changed. Word is, the 1.33.761.5 can't yet be unlocked. However, if you are certain you are able to do it, then I'd greatly appreciate your help. The Reason I'm so cautious is because as I mentioned, I had to take it back to Softbank to get it reset and they gave me a knowing look like, "Yeah. We know what you were trying to do!"
New info anyone?
Hey guys. I was wondering if any of you have any updates about the unlocking X01HT's ROM Version 1.33.761.5? Junulrik, I don't know if you received my email I sent you. Perhaps it ended up in your "Junk Mail." In any case, you can email me at [email protected] anytime.
Buy unlocked X01ht in Tokyo
I plan to buy Softbank X01ht unlocked, any information where i can buy this x01ht unlocked version in tokyo?

CID Unlock etc.?

Hi all,
sorry for that newbie question, but while I am living in UK, I got the british Orbit. Being German on the other hand, I would looooove WM6, especially in German (Language doesn't really matter, but e.g. the Keyboard layout would help!)
So - what to do to upgrade it? Will I really have to pay to get it CID Unlocked? Is there a workaround (NBHTool / UpgradeTool) or would I miss something that would be upgraded otherwise too?
Or shall I just call o2, ask them to unlock or replace it (the actual device)?
Or will the update be released for british orbits too (I'd probably rather wait a bit instead of spending money)...
If your device is o2 branded, you can download the update from o2 Germany's site and try the upgrade. The way the interface works for these OEM upgrades are very safe. If the program cannot or will not upgrade your Orbit to WM6, it will tell you - not destroy your device. Worst case, just wait for o2 UK or HTC to release WM6, but I think having CID unlock is just a good idea in general because it open so many doors for you. its all the cooked, or otherwise modified ROMs that you have to watch out for. Not everyone has the same concept of 'stable platform'.
It is o2 Branded, but unfortunately o2 UK, so it does not accept the German release (tried yesterday) - one way or another, preferring to have WM6 in German, I guess I couldn't avoid the unlock, could I?
If you want the Deutsche sprache ROM right now, then yeah, then unlock seems to be the way. I want mine to be in English, so I am going to wait for o2 UK or HTC.
same **** with mine. I want to change it from Deutsch to English, so i'll wait for the UK o2 release. Do u know if i will (i suppose based on the opposite tries) be able to flash mine German O2 orbit to the UK version. I hate it like that really much.
With CID Unlock I was able to get the OEM HTC rom onto my German Orbit in English. There is a write up somewhere on how to do it. You have to use this program that Hex edits the files of the HTC rom and allows it to load in conjunction to having the phone CID unlocked.
Here is the link to the thread..

CID status of my new P3600

Have just taken delivery of a brand new HTC P3600 - and insurance replacement for Orange SPV M700. The phone is sim unlocked, but I am not sure about the CID status. Can somebody please advise how find out? If it is not CID locked am I right in thinking that I do not need to HardSpL the phone to flash official and cooked ROMs?
Most grateful for information from a more knowlegeable forum member.

Can a MOD please move this to Trinity forum - sorry for the hassle, just noticed my error.
