so, i've just attempted to upgrade from WM5 to WM6 with the upgrade from www.my-xda.com, and it seems to have gone horribly wrong. reckon this can be fixed, it's just starting at the o2 screen now and not booting.

I currently have a dying Wallaby ( Branded O2 XDA ) running PPC 2002 3.17.03, Radio version 4.21.00..
I've read through most of the forum and I have a few questions..
1 - I've noticed that some people encountered audio problems when upgrading the Wallaby to wm2003 or wm200SE, How common are these issues? and are they specific?
2 - If I do happen to fall into this problem, will reverting back to PPC2002 solve this problem?
3 - I've also noticed that some people have problems reverting back to PPC2002 after upgrading to something newer, how common are these problems, and what are the known solutions?
Looking forward to some answers,
Thank you.
In what way is the Wallaby dying? I would suggest using xdatools and an sd card to flash the phone, you should have no problems reverting to your current rom, you can backup your current rom from bootloader to sd card then use this to revert if needed. Who is it that has managed to upgrade to WM2003SE on Wallaby, I was under the impression this hadnt been achieved yet.
Dying, as in getting old
Tried out the O2 Euro ROM, working nicely, smoothly no problems what so ever. (thx to stefans hosting )

Halo to all!
How would you feel like if you have brend new Xda Orbit waiting on your desk stucked to boot loader level? It is qute stupid situation and I have got no solution till this day. The problem is that I flashed my device with extended rom and now I can not boot my device any more or go to Active Sync level. My device is from Germany and I need Original GERMAN ROM to reflash it again and unlock it via imei-check procedure... Is anyone in this world KNOW WHERE can one download XDA ORBIT GERMAN ROM. Is anyone in this world have this ROM?
Does anyone knows procedure to reflash this device with any rom and return back to life this nice machine? I have been waiting for this situation for 45 days ;(
Thank you in advance,
Salut from Belgrade
O2 German or UK rom doesn't exist on the web. Try to install TMUK rom (I've solved with it, but my orbit was unlocked by imeicheck).
other chance is to send it in assistance...
I returned the Orbit to the o2 shop and they gave me a new one.
I isn't the nicest way but it solved my problem. And o2 can flash the device and sell it for new i think...
Hi all, new to O2 orbit. I used to have a O2 exec which was very easy to flash to WM6, but reading all the post how different is it to flash Orbit. I see alot of bricked phone here. I don't want to do the same!
thanks

On the contrary it is actually quite simple IF you follow the instructions carefully,majority of bricked devices happen because of the owners not following the proedure AND not reading ( Forum threads and WIKI) enough.
Thanks for the reply.
Is WM6 faster than WM5,which I find a bit slow!
Thanks
I use Bepe's WWE WM6, not like I do a whole lot of processor intensive tasks on my 200MHz pocket phone, but WM6 does seem to have a clean, smooth feel compared to WM5. I recommend the upgrade, but do A LOT of reading if you want to keep your phone. Honestly, unless you are after a language change or some pressing need for s ROM specifically besides the OEM - you might be better off waiting for an official release. o2 UK, and HTC are supposedly soon to release WM6 for orbit. read up on USPL, thats a good start, then go from there.

If your Orbit is originally in German. The risk is much less, there is a shiped German ROM, so you can flash it back if something goes wrong.
If your Orbit originally in a language other than German: Be very careful, and remember to flash USPL before doing any update.
The unit has been constantly freezing and it takes about 20 reboots a day so would like to try it on its original Rom does anyone know where I can find this.
I have found the WM6 upgrade but would firstly like to see what its like on wm5. Currently running the black rom but freezes.
Many Thanks Daz
There is no UK T-Mobile WM5 ROM available.
The closest you will get is to download the German version and use the English CAB.
It will restore it to appear just as good as the WWE ROM, however, if you are requiring this for a warranty return, as soon as the engineer hard resets and finds it to be German... could cause problems...
Does this work?
I have been told by HTC that once you upgrade an X7500 to WM6 that it changes the bootloader and you can NOT go back to WM5??? Has anyone successfully gone back to WM5 from WM6?
Has anyone successfully gone back to WM5 after upgrading to WM6 on an X7500? I was told by HTC that it was not possible because the bootloader was changed when I went to WM6 and now I can not go back?????
well this is totally not true, i went back to WM5 with no problem at all. after that i even changed the radio to 1.50.00 which went smoothly.

utter bollocks, and I presume you're running 1.20.Olipro from step 1 of the unlocker?
my SPL is patched so you don't write over it.
Thanks...
Thanks to both who replied that what I was told about being unable to go back to WM5 after upgrading to WM6 was "bunk". I have successfully done so!
