This update DOES NOT flash onto English devices that have not been unlocked by IMEI-Check.

so er... bottom line. is it worth doing?

[PaulOBrien]

Depends...

This is a French update, and is not meant for non-French devices.

I have just flashed it onto a UK C500 (LOCKED) by using 'TyphoonNBFTool, but obviously this is not for the faint hearted.

If you DO have a French device, then of course, do it

Sorry - I'm not sure if I understand. I have my phone unlocked from the web site (the one that charged me £20 to do it) and also application unlocked via the bit of software that Orange sent me via email on my request.

( a ) is my phone "unlocked by IMEI-Check"?

( b ) will this rom upgrade re-apply the application lock

( c ) if it does get re-locked, will the unlock app that Orange sent me still work

( d ) are there any other improvements (speed/extra functions/etc) other than a new Windows Media player?

( e ) what's so good about WM10 that everyone seems to be willing to kill for it?

Thanks,

Bryan.

>>TyphoonNBFTool

How does one do that then? Is it likely to shaft it? (Mine isn't imei unlocked - just the normal app unlock and what have you)

What's the best method for backing up the phone? And if you screw it with the update can you flash the 4.1.1.4 rom back on it?

Cheers

not being one to use the camera much i dont notice anything obvious...

Bottom line here guys: if you DONT understand what is being talked about here, DONT even attempt it.

I am still hearing there will NOT be a UK update for the C500, but hey, they don't tell me EVERYTHING!

Thats promising, maybe there is still some hope, however Orange France have previously released a v1.72 update for the m1000 which never got released in the UK
