For those who read about the M500 Lighted ROM and are looking for one for the M700, such as PJMDS, then this post is for you. panot, the same guy who created the X500 Lighted ROM has come up with the M700 ROM as well. It has the same features as the X500 ROM which means it is based on the latest (and last) M700 WM6 ROM which is the EUU M700 WWE R01 052 0436 MOT1114 WM6.

Download The ROM

WWE

• From RapidShare
• From Eten Blog dot Com

After downloading the ROM, you will need to do a ROM upgrade via SD Card Flashing.

Issues With Older SD Card

Because this ROM has the SDHC patch, there have been reports that older SD (the normal ones) cards do not work on this ROM. To test, install this patch BEFORE you do the ROM update and then see if your SD card can be read. This is the same patch that is in the Lighted ROM and if your card can be read after installing the patch, then it will work after you do the ROM upgrade as well. If your SD card cannot be read, then you have 2 alternatives, get a newer SD card (or a SDHC card) or choose not to upgrade to this ROM.

MMS

This ROM does not have MMS so if are a user, you will want to install this MMS Cab.

Donations

If you are happy with this ROM, feel free to send a donation via Paypal to panot.

From my understanding, there is no other language version of this ROM but you can easily change the ROM language. If you need help with that, let me know and I will do up a guide.

Enjoy the ROM and as usual, any comments will be much appreciated.
