Latest Orange SPV M5000 ROM Update - JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General

Hi All,
I just found this link to the latest Orange ROM update (Dated 25th August 2006)
http://www.business.orange.co.uk/servlet/Satellite?pagename=Business&c=OUKPage&cid=1142943309969
Can anyone tell me what it gives that the previous update didnt, as its quite a painfull job upgrading the ROM then having to re-install all my software and registering and configuring it all back to how I want it.
Just wondered if it would be worth the effort.
Cheers

The ONLY change is the radio version from 1.09 to 1.13
I doubt it is worth it...

Upgrade rom version more than 1? possible?

Is it okay if i upgrade my 02 XDA II v1.66WWE to iMate 1.72WWE than when the o2 released their o2 1.72WWE can i upgrade it again? or for example i have 1.66 i upgrade it to 1.72 and later on i will upgrade it to 1.88 then 1.90 then 2.00? Thankx Cuz i am planning to upgrade my o2 XDA II v1.66WWE to imate 1.72 and when the o2 1.72 released i will upgrade it again.
Possible or not? any negative if i upgrade it more than one?
Yes,you can..There is no Upgrade number limitation..!
Just a known Country Code Error limitation to change ROM version from one company to another..like I-mate to XDA2,or Q-tek to I-mate..
But it is relatively easy to by-pass
Enjoy your upgrade!
Take a look at my post here - it may help you avoid problems.

Why is it on such a weird site? Iris-global?
I'm downloading it to check if it's save, but I'm having second thoughts about trying it. Dunno wanna f*ck up my wizard. :roll:
there is nothing wrong, its the official t-mobile download site!
jim
just completed the update, no noticable differences except it is damn fast!!!! Would be interested to know what the official differences are though.
It's just the version that shipped with the UK devices.

Same experience, no noticable difference but it's alot faster then the dutch shiped ROM. And much more stable too.
I'm liking it so far.
Edit: Found a new program called streaming video, not 100% sure if i had this on my Vario when I bought it. :?

It is on mine, Rom dated 09/29/05.
If I can find links to this new rom from the official uk tmobile homepage then I will be installing it today.
Can anyone say if the 802.11G problem (or lack of support) is addressed in this update?
Which rom would you people recommend - this T-Mobile ROM or the I-Mate K-Jam Rom? any opinions?
Hmm I'm still not convinced this is an OK download, can anyone walk me through getting to the site from http://www.t-mobile.com/ or http://www.t-mobile.co.uk/

Looks legit to me
Although the rom version is updated to 1.6.2.4. (WWE), the rom date is from 11/15/05.
But it's working like a charm.
Hi everyone i'm really new to the wizard but still wanna have my device up to date. I'v had the Vario for a week now and my ROM version is: 1.3.2.2 ENU and the ROM date is 9/29/05. I have downloaded this new ROM but should i update my VArio with it or not. I cant really tell if i need to or not. Sorry for bein a noob just too new to all this. Thanx to all replies.

It's entirely up to you. If you're current Rom is working well, upgrading isn't really necesarry. I was having alot of problems (constant lockups, slow, etc) with the dutch Rom I got when I bought it. Thats why I removed the CID lock to install an alternative Rom.
So far there arent any Roms out with major updates for increased hardware performance, these should come out late jan/begin feb and I read T-Mobile won't bring one out till late march.
Been trying the WWE T-Mobile rom since last night, and it's still working great. Haven't had time to install my applications yet, but it's allready alot faster and more stable then the Q-Tek (Dutch and WWE), i-mate and O2 Rom's i've tried.

you will need to soft reset your device. To install this ROM on your device you will need to use the lokiwiz program, then you can install the file to your phone.
Hope that helps
Jim
Is mine even newer?
I wonder if going back to the TMO version would help any? My QTEK came with this:
ROM 1.6.7.1 WWE
ROM Date: 11/28/05
Radio Version: 01.13.0
Protocol 4.6.13.24
ExtROM: 1.6.7.101
It seems a bit poky, and battery life seems horrible

Radio Upgrade

I have installed the new orange rom and radio is now 1.03 i did have 1.06 so i was wondering shall i upgrade again and if so what is the latest radio version that is knows to work with the M5000 with latest ROM.
The 1.0.8 update fromt his site has installed without error and everything seems to be working.
mcoxall can you post a link the the 1.0.8. you used. Did you install on M5000? presumably it just upgrades radio not a total reflash?
I have upgraded my QTEK9000 Frenc Rom to the new Orange ROM
I removed the radio .nbf file from the extracted file, so I kept my 1.08 radio version with the new ROM.
Everything works fine for me no problem so far.
I did the full orange upgrade then did the 1.08 after that. I didnt mind the hard reset either as my M5000 decided to lose its charger port over the weekend and it went swimming inside the device. Thanks orange for the very quick replacement.
I'm running what's in my signature with no problems at all.

New MDA Vario Owner question ?

Hi peeps,
I have just got a T-mobile Vario off ebay, wanted to know where I can get the latest offical t-mobile rom. I do know they removed a certain rom with the push email update. Anyone have the offical one be for that:
my rom ver: 1.6.2.4 WWE
rom date: 11/15/05
radio: 01.12.10
protocol: 4.0.13.23
From details above am I running avery old version, I use to use a Dell axim X30 624mhz. So anything that will speed this little baby up will be cool.
Thanks peeps.
Here's T-Mobile's latest effort with regards to the rom...
http://t-mobile.iris-global.com/download_manager_mda_vario.html
I only got my Vario last week direct from T-Mobile (ordered on the final day of their 25% discount on FlexT and FlexT + WnW) but it's still running the same rom versions as they one you got from eBay. Anyway, I've not updated mine yet so I can't comment on the Push Email thing.
Thanks for that mate, any1 installed this and notice any difference.
I decided to give this rom a go last night and just before the application sends the rom to the Vario it tells you what version you currently have and what version it will install. That was when I found out it is still only 1.6.2.4 - 15/11 (15th Nov) so basically it is NOT newer than the version I already have on my phone.
I guess the clue was in the filename all along...
RUU_Prodigy_1060204_105_11210_TMO_UK_Ship.exe
Just thought I'd let you know so that you don't waste your time flashing to it and finding out it's what you've already got too
before u do anything is a good ideato unlock your phone,then you can install any rom you want.
