Hi everyone,
A quick question -- has anyone with a UK SPV M2000 successfully upgraded to the latest Imate PDA2K rom? If so, could you please post step by step instructions of how you did it?
Also, does the upgrade clear the Orange UK extended rom and replace it with the Imate extended rom?
Thanks in advance
Cheers
Nick
Orange SPV M2000
Hello mate,
It seems that we SPV M2000 are underlings in this forum, nobody seems interested in the new users.
I have unlocked the Extended Rom of my M2000 and I have installed the fax software from the Imate, and it works. I do not think that there is anything else that could be interesting there.
Also I upgraded the BT software to build 3500 which seems to have sorted out the licence and memory problems.
If you learn anything could you look out for me and let me know?
Re: Orange SPV M2000
I have just got the SPV M2000 and have been having problems with bluetooth and Jabra SP100, I think I need the BT upgrade or patch.
I'm new to the pocketPC world and rom patches etc.
jrmgolem, I would like to get the fax software installed too and the BT patch, but there is so much information on the forum, it's difficult for a newby to figure out where to start :shock:
Would be greateful if you could list the steps that you went through to do your upgrade
Thanks in advance.

No problem, if you send me you email I will send you the files. All you have to do is to copy the files into the temp directory in your M2000 and tap them, then do a soft reboot and it should then be updated.
You will need the unlocker as well, then the EXT ROM Files. They are here somewhere so I will find the url and send it.
I'd love to have it too
sent yo a private message..
thanks

Hi guys,
Just wondering if either of you could help me out...
I've not got an M2000 yet. Long story...i intend to use my work Voda SIM with an M2000 that a friend who is an Orange dealer has offered me in exchange for a few beers should i want one 8)
A little obvious but just to make sure, I presume that once unlocked, a Voda sim in the M2000 poses no problems :?:
Assuming it works with a Voda SIM, i'm also guessing the M2000 will be heavily customised to Orange. If i flash with an i-mate rom, will that get rid of the Orange customisations and provide a more generic software?
If i need a reflash, until i get the unit i've no idea what versions etc the hardware will be (or even how to find out). Can anybody offer an idiot guide of what to look for and how to flash the unit??
Any help appreciated. Thanks in advance 8)
looking for jrmgolem

Sorry for asking such fundamental questions but i am new to this site...
I have a Orange SPV M2000 (Blue Angel)
Can I ugrade the rom on this, what will the upgraded rom give me that i dont already have and how do i do this ?
I have looked at the rom pages and can not seam to find an Orange rom, does this matter ?
Sorry if these are basic questions, thank you for your time.
I also have a m2000, was wondering if it would be ok to install the new 1.4 asia O2 rom???
Mainly want it for WMP10 due to the streaming video etc.
Have red some mixed reports about the new rom, is it actually better than 1.31???
ive upgraded my m2000 using the wiki
im basically running the imate roms as im unsure on how to play with the extended rom.
everything went fine without a hitch!
I have an orange SPV M2000, I have successfully upgraded to Rom 1.40 with Radio Rom 1.13
I am a bit of an old hand doing this as i have had a pocket pc since the inception of a ipaq 3630 many moons ago.
What you ask do you get with the updates? well the main reason for upgrading is the increased reliability. far less soft reboots due to lockups.
and a nicer interface with WM10 especially since i have a media center PC and i can automatically synch my recorded TV to the device
anyone needs help with upgrade you can msn me at stuart b ***NOSPAM***@broadbandtap.co.uk

HELP?
Hello,
I would like to share upgrade idea & howtos with buddies using closely similar BA as mine, that is SPV M2000 Orange (have a french Orange subscription), but UK buddies too !
I use extensively IP phone in wireless context, travelling a lot, so, using a global roaming ISP. This allows to call for almost free.
I work on enhancing Radio/BT capabilities now, so perhaps we could share on that specific goal.
XTEN PRO ppc is the IP phone I use:; it works well, but unable at present time to use my Jabra 250 BT with it. This one is kinda "captured" by the SIM telephone app, working great, but this is a clear audio limitation of my current BT driver/version.
Welcome to share & enhancement !

Hi,
I am a UK user of the M2000. Have you upgraded your M2000 to any recent ROM version / bluetooth etc...?
SN
Hello,
not yet. Will upgrade to 1.4 FRE soon. I got it from an excellent french XDA forum, this upgrade tested & widely used.
(It's boring backing up data!)
My concern was mre about BT quality, unable to use my BT headset with any other app than the GSM phone.
were did you get it????
hello!!
totally agree with u'r ideas!
following this topic with interest.!!!! :shock:
if i can help?
where can we get orange buddies? :roll: :wink:
and to end, my parrot driveblue does not work that good with my m2000!
Cordialement.
Philippe
where did all of you get this 1.40 rom in french?
Wiki has it
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BA_1.40.00_Upgrade
OK, I'm waiting on my XDA IIs (Blue Angel) arriving tomorrow and have a few questions before I dive right in!
(Before I go any further please note that I have spent the last few days delving into the forum and wiki on this site but just need some clarification.)
1. Can I rebrand an O2 XDA IIs to Vodafone VPx/VP 1620 (i.e change ROMs)?
2. If yes, how, and if not can I use all my Vodafone service (GPRS etc) on an O2 braded phone?
3. I have the latest ROM downloaded from O2 just in case mine needs it on arrival, will this enable the pairing to two BT devices (Headset/GPS) or will I need to update the BT stack as per the other 3500/3900 thread?
4. Can I expect any issues with Tomtom 5, or should this work OK if I don't start playing with the ROMs too much!
Thanks in advance for any advice, and I'm looking forward to trying WM5 once I pluck up the courage
Moved to BA section from general
1) Your rom has 3 parts (which you know since you read wiki) the branding is in the extrom. You want the phone to act like a BA from a different carrier then use that extrom.
2) By reading 1 and reading cooking in the extrom kitchen on wiki
3) Bt is a mess and part of the CE rom, if you have the latest rom you will have the latest BT Stack. As for pairing well have fun. There is enough info on the site to confuse you.
4) Tom Tom works on a BA as per there site.
Thanks for that... I think
So, CE ROM as standard, use Voda ExtROM for their branding, and hope for the best with BT
Sound about right?
Better get into the 'kitchen' then, eh!
Hi, I have a SPV M2000 that I wish to downgrade from Windows 2005 to Windows 2003se because I believe the upgrade is wrong as I have no camera, TomTom does not work and other problems. Could someone tell me which reliable 2003se rom I should use as I cannot find it on this site. I wish to use the PDA simfree and uncluttered without any of the network suppliers junk on it, would this be easy to do? Any help would be gratefully received. :lol:

Hiya Just joined this forum seems like a great resource. Altho not sure i understand evrything.
I have just emigrated from the UK to Australia and brought my trusty Orange branded spv m700 with me.
Went out today and bought myself a 3 network SIM card, which clearly didnt work as phone was still locked. DL'd the unlocking tool from here and managed to unlock phone no problem at all so now my 3 SIM card works.
having read some of the posts i understand that the GPS will not work and i need to flash the ROM with a GPS enabled one (GPS would be handy as i have been here 1 week and got lost sooooo many times already i think Tom Tom is going to be required). This is where my trouble starts i have nfi which one i should use.
Atm i have WM 5 on it.....will it run WM6 ok??
should i be using an australian version, wwe or cooked??
All i really need is to get gps working and make sure everything else still works on the Australian 3 network.
thanks in advance for any help and advice, sure i will have some more questions soon enough

You should install another radio version. I will post in in a few hours here is you want. The version is 1.56. If you are pleased with the phone you have no reason to change the software. WM6 works. I have WM 6.1 and the g77's rom. It's a pretty nice one. All works. The only thing with it is that you don't have control volume during a call. With the original software that you have do you have control of the volume during a call?
I don't have it for a very long time but I think it's a nice phone.
