Hi folks
Can anyone help please - I have just upgraded my O2 Orbit to an O2 Orbit 2 ( named Polaris in the about panel). I used the O2 Premium ROM on my Orbit and would like to upgrade the Orbit 2 to a similar ROM that has all the extra HTC bits on it, Can anyone give me a link where I can find such an animal. I tried the HTC site but since I bought the phone from O2 it wont give me ROM updates from there. Please are there any Techies out there who can suggest a link?
Thanks in advance
Dave

I tried hard to locate O2 Plus in this forum but to no luck. I am very interested to put O2 Plus on my device but without replacing the ROM. Can you help locate.
thanks

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:

This is the file you need:

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 ;-)

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.

Just wondering if anyone is using the O2 ROM on their HTC branded Touch Cruise. If so is there any substantial differences? is it worth upgrading?
If no one has tried it yet I would love to test it out if someone has the O2 dumped rom.
Thanks

I second that!
*not* *only* is it cr-p but they have done a poor job of hacking it. The hack they have done prevents the Blackberry Connect from seeing it as a valid ROM - so J-U-S-T D-O-N-T G-O T-H-E-R-E-!
How about going the other way round? Ive got the O2 software on my Orbit 2, but i want the unbranded version. How does a *complete* beginner go about that?
Apologies in advance for the noob question!
1. Search for Olipro's HardSPL V2 for Polaris, follow instructions to install it
2. Download the HTC OEM WWE ROM, install it (on xda-devs ftp)
3. Ready

location of upgrade ROM
Hi,
I just tried to download the 6.1 upgrade ROM but it doesn't seem to be available. If I try the direct link to the HTC download site I get the generic HTC upgrade page which doesn't include an option to upgrade the Orbit. If I go to the O2 page I get directed to HTC page, and if I select the Rapid share link I get an error (file not found).
Anyone got any advice on how to upgrade the Orbit 2 to WM 6.1 (official O2 release)(or shouldn't I bother)?
Cameron
If you have the time to do some reading then install Hard-SPL and flash one of the 3LIT3 roms, as they are some of the best out at the moment.
For some help have a read of this to get you started.
Also i was running the O2 rom for quite a while, definately better than the 6.0 rom but 3LIT3 better still!
EDIT: Found this direct link but on download it is directing you to the HTC site, not the actual rom. Very strange, if you want it ask o2 what they up to.
Screenshots please
Hi there,

Please can I have the link to download the correct compatible ROM to upgrade my device to 6.5.3?
Thank you for your help in advance.

I have a colleague with an O2 Xda Orbit 2 which was the reason I asked. Thanks for the link to the development Alexander.
For my O2 Xda, I'm having problems flashing with the Hard-SPL2. I do exatly as the instructions tell me. Good USB connection through ActiveSync, but when the Guide reboots to start the flash process I get the ERROR [260] : CONNECTION. Please help?
