Update
Hello I updated my MDA pro with the Jasjar update.
I unpacked the romupdate with winrar and replace the ROMUpgradeUt with the MaUpgradeUt_noID that you can download in this section of the universal pages.
The first time you start the update it wil tell you the your countrycode isn't right. but it wil shift in to bootloader mode and when you start the update the second time it wil update your ppc without problems. Do not reboot after the first update but just try it again in bootloader mode.
Good luck it works like e clock and You get MSN, SKYPE and even a version of etrust antivirus that you can install.

what do you mean by
" Do not reboot after the first update but just try it again in bootloader mode.
"
and how are you reseting the device ?

i did it 10 times.
i'm stuck into bootloader.
the upgrade with the patched file works 100% but then ...
when i'll pull of the usb cable and try the reset (power + reset) or it is not working
any ideeas
thanks

What about softkey + softkey + reset like the updater suggests?

Hello!
Is the correct file there uploaded. I was trying it but is seems to be for the
Magician. No luck for the MDA Pro.

nope. not working.

Update
For me it worked like a charm
Even with the radio update
So I can't see why it won't work with you

Upgrade
I'll try and explain again my way of installing:
I downloaded the update from Imate I unpacked the update and then I unpacked the executable with winrar. In the directory where the exe is unpacked I put the patchfile the I have uploaded for you (unpacked offcourse).
The I used that patchfile to start the update the first time it shuts down active sync 4.0 and reconnects in bootloader mode. You get a countrycode error.
the MDA is still in bootloader mode.
Now i restart the update and the install begins after the update you can reset your MDA pro. and it wil come with a IMATE splashscreen whereafter you can select your networksettings from your phonecompany.
then it wil install the new cabfiles from the rom.
That's how it went with my installation.

This worked for me as well. This first time I tried to run it I got a incorrect ROM version error message. Than I found out that I renamed MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe into MaUpgradeUt.exe instead of ROMUpgradeUt.exe. After renaming the file correctly gpsenzo68's explanation works just fine!
The first things I notice with the new imate ROM:
MSN (messenger works without having to buy the app (can sign in )!), Skype, Backgammon, more program memory, got rid off T-Mobile dialer skin, media player fullscreen stretch bug has not been fixed in this release.

Please help somebody

hi forum...
i own a Jasjar & very recently tried the o2 exec new rom on it.. i had it for a few days but didnt quite like it as much as the jj rom.
so i wanted to go back to the jj rom, but now neither is my ppc synchronizing with the laptop nor is it allowing me to revert if i put it in bootloader mode.
i tried synchronizing after deleting the partnership also.
it gives me a country id error when i put the ppc in bootloader mode & run the ROMupdate Utility. i have extracted the contents of the .exe file into a folder as i wanted to use the new radio 1.06 along with my original jj roms.
PLEASE HELP ME
mOrph

I am not sure, but:
if you managed to change from jj to o2, this means that you were using an installer that was not checking for the ID of the device, if not it would not have worked. (maybe you were not aware of this)
If now you are reinstalling the original JJ files from the shipped rom with the original installer, i imagine that this installer does not recognise the device and gives the country id error.
So what you would need to do is change the original JJ installer to the NoID installer that you used in the change from JJ to O2.
So you need to extract the installation file and in this resulting folder you will have to replace the JJ installer with the one from the O2 installation. Then it will not ask what kind of device is connected.
In case you knew all this and did it anyway, then I apologize (and probably have no other idea how to help you..lol)

HOW TO: Rom Upgrade - Universal / XDA Exec

Well, this is pretty newbie advice to most of you, so you may think it doesn't warrant a write up, but I had to do some searching for info on how to upgrade my ROM so I thought it would be good to put it all in one thread.
1) Download the ROM you want from the FTP server....Details here http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BA_FTP_Site
2) Download MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe to your Desktop from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/download.php?id=7644
3) Disconnect your device from the USB cable.
4) Hold the Power button + Light bulb button, and press the reset pin found at the back of the device (fiddly if you have large fingers).
You will notice that the screen of the device is dark but has “USB” and "v 1.0" written on it.
5) Connect back your device via the USB cable.
6) Run the download ROM upgrade application...When it prompts you to begin the upgrade process, just minimise the window or leave it alone (DON'T CLOSE THE PROGRAM).
7) Whilst it is running, use Windows to search for a file named RUU.dll
8 ) Right click file and choose ‘Open Containing Folder’
9) Select all files and copy them
10) Create a temporary storage location....C:\Upgrade....And Paste all copied files in here.
11) Copy the file MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe from the desktop into C:\Upgrade
12) Close the previously started upgrade application running in the background
13) Run MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe from it's C:\Upgrade location
The upgrade process should begin now…If it does not, run the MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe application again
Make sure you DO NOT DISCONNECT the cable.
The upgrade takes around 20 minutes to complete.
14: Disconnect the USB cable when told, then push the reset pin. Ignore the advice to do a hard reset by holding down the soft keys while you do this, just push the reset pin by itself. Your Universal will load the new ROM image and you're all done.

Thanks.

Thanks!
There is only one thing, step 4, it is not USB but Serial.

It will go to USB when upgrading.

It doesn't seem to work with last Qtek 9000 ROM...
Help!

OK, I made my own instructions. Follow this instruction of mine:
The file is extracted in your computer. Once you run the shipped.exe file, you need to go to:
My Computer
Your Drive (mine is Drive C)
Show the contents of this drive
Documents and Settings
Choose your folder name
Choose "TOOLS" from the menu bar
Choose "FOLDER OPTIONS"
Click on the "VIEW" tab
Click on "HIDDEN FILES AND FOLDERS"
YOU WANT TO SHOW ALL HIDDEN FILES AND FOLDERS
Now go to TEMP folder
Now you will notice a bunch of folders will show up, tons of them to be exact. What you need to do now is click on the shipped.exe file again and "LOOK" for the folder being created because that folder is what you want to copy. If you did not see it created, you have to manually open each folder and look for the files I listed below.
Assuming you found the folder, you will have these following files inside that folder:
ms_.nbf----------------------this file is responsible for EXT ROM Version
nk.nbf------------------------this file is responsible for Windows Mobile Version
radio.nbf---------------------this file is responsible for Radio Version
EnterBL
GetDeviceData
readme
ROMUpgradeUt
RUU.conf
RUU.dll
UI.dll
MaUpgradeUt_noID
If the file MaUpgradeUt_noID is not there. You need to get hold of a copy of this file as you need this.
There you have it, REMEMBER, you need to have the MaUpgradeUt_noID file plus all the rest of the file if you want to upgrade to the ENTIRE I-Mate ROM, QTEK, O2, or whatever ROM you want.
If you only want to upgrade to the radio version then you need to delete 2 files namely: "ms_.nbf" and "nk.nbf". Leave "radio.nbf" alone and click on the "MaUpgradeUt_noID" file to initiate the Radio installation. Basically those 3 files control what you want to update on your device.
Hope my instructions were clear enough for you. Hope this helps.

cannot locate files after running exe
Hi All, I have ran the ROM update exe and the message saying extracting file XXX etc appears OK then the program closes. When I search for the files, for instance *.nbf they dont exist anywhere on the computer - does the exe autodelete the temp directory and have I missed a stage ? Any help gratefully accepted

Did you follow the instructions above on how to show hidden files and folders? After double clicking the .exe file and running it, leave it open then look for the NEWLY created folder in the TEMP folder as instructed. You need to look for it the hard way by opening each folder one by one and check for the files to see if you got the right one.

someone advised me for some extra step, someone please advise is it coorect steps:
"Then you need to make a small change to one of the text files. Look in the directory for
RUU.conf
Open it in notepad and add this line
[CHECKCEID_TYPE]=1
then save it
That’s about it….."

thx for reply christian,
yes i tried searching every folder the manual way but still no joy, I have just copied the rom exe onto my other computer and it worked OK on there and updated my exec without any further problems

Hi All, Linked to the update of the exec software , i noticed the audio playback on tom tom navigator and media files is very jerky to the point you can hardly make out what is being said. has anyone else had the same problem and have you found a solution to fix the problem ?
many thanks
Steve

Bricked QTek 9000
I got a Qtek on ebay and it was working when I tried to upgrade it failed with a "115" Radio Error.
Tried the method on this thread and it completes the upgrade but when I reset, I does not change from "USB v1.0" can anyone help!!!!

Hi
I'd like to take the risk for updating my Dopod 900 for new versions of ROM & radio, but I've got couple of questions.
1. I've got Dopod 900. I do understand, that it's absolutely the same with Qtek9000, but to be sure: may I use ROM update for Qtek?
2. My ROM (1.13.69) & radio (1.04.02) as of 10/12/05 are ancient What version of ROM & radio consider to be stable as of now? I saw in signatures that people using ROM 1.30.77 and radio 1.09.00. Are they OK?
3. I got on FTP and was a bit confused: as far as I understood the latest ROM is 1.30.100 (UNI_QTEK_130100_190_10900_ESN_Ship.exe), but it's for ESN (Spanish???) localization. So in order to get WWE I should use UNI_ORUK_13090_174_10300_WWE_Ship.exe and that update radio separately from 1.03.00 up to 1.09.00 or just UNI_QTEK_13077_176_10900_WWE_Ship.exe? What would u advice me?
4. What is the benefit for updating from 1.13.69 and 1.04.02? Will it works faster & more stable?
Thx in advance & take care

Hi
I tried this and get a 120 (incorrect country ID) error.
Strange, my V1640 from Vodafone is spanish and i want to upgrade to UNI_QTEK_130100_190_10900_ESN_Ship.exe
so it should be ok.
Am i wrong? Is there a way to get rid of that message?

Hi I have a Xda Exec
ROM: 1.13.82 WWE
Rom date 11/30/05
Radio 1.04.02
Protocol 42.37.P8
Ext Rom 1.13.188WWE
And when i do this:
4) Hold the Power button + Light bulb button, and press the reset pin found at the back of the device (fiddly if you have large fingers).
The devide says me:
Boot options:
Enable KITL
Clean registry hive
Format storage
I soupouse that it isn´t the boot loader for go on with the proces... what happens?
I want to upgrade to UNI_QTEK_13077_176_10900_WWE_Ship.exe for use my heasphones motorola stereo... (AD2P..)
Can any body help me?
Thanks a lot

Please!!!
Edit post number 1 and add as the last step:
14: Disconnect the USB cable when told, then push the reset pin. Ignore the advice to do a hard reset by holding down the soft keys while you do this, just push the reset pin by itself. Your Universal will load the new ROM image and you're all done.
It seems that a lot of people are having trouble after a ROM upgrade by following the instructions on the upgrade program which tell them to hard reset.

Many thanks! PU10 by German T-Mobile upgraded to WWE

I have a T mobile mda pro, any recommendations as to what the best rom is.
Im torn between the new orange rom which is supposed to be good and the jasjar one?
Anyone?

Hi,

Where can I find the latest Rom?
Cheers

Anyone can point me out to the adequate ROM?
thanks

Signed CAB's

Hi Guys,
I'm trying to install a few of CAB's from the Orange Ext ROM on to my O2 Exec.
They all say they installed OK, but theres no sign of one of them, [a Signed CAB] even after a soft reset.
Do I need to do something else, to install Signed CAB's on other vendors ROM's ?

What do you mean with "theres no sign of them"?
No sign in the software removal section ? Thats normal because the cabs from extrom normally do not appear here.
If the desired effect from the cab is there yu got it working

Hi Ivan,
I've only got trouble with one of the CAB files, a signed one.
The file i'm trying to install is the 'Orange Today' plugin. It says it installs OK, but doesn't show up on the today screen or listed in its options.
The other CAB's which are not signed are Phone and MMS settings which install and work fine.
Is there something special I need to do to install an Orange signed CAB on an O2 Exec ?

Yes there is.
Unfortunately in the Orange rom are all files needed for the Orange style today screen.
In the cab file are only the reg settings to enable it.
Bad luck. Only chance to use it, is to extract the needed files and additional reg settings (there aren't all needed reg settings in the cab file) from the orange rom.
If you do this you will slowdown your device, because this thing is painfully slow.

OK, its seems i'm looking for the impossible again.
I'll give it a try the other way round.
Using the Orange ROM and adding the O2 settings and apps I need for work. Hopefully it won't be too slow when in work mode and the Orange plugin is turned off.
Thank you for your help Ivan.

i have a similar problem with a dead O2 XDA Zinc...where do i get the abi file or can i make one from the wm6 upgrade file (Xda_Zinc_RM3070712_WWE_ExtV2.8.0.exe) that i download from the official website

the abi file can be found inside the exe but i dunno how can u extract it since if u use any extractor it will not give u the abi file ... also if u hv the raw rom & want to extract the rom also u will hv difficulty in extracting it
that is the problem that i am facing now

you can extract abi file from Xda_Zinc_RM3070712_WWE_ExtV2.8.0.exe by
1. connect o2 zinc with usb
2. flash your o2 zinc by exe file
3. when complete flash don't push finish button
4. select to view hidden files in folder that you put exe file
5. finally you will see marsii_g4.abi
goodluck & sorry my bad english

reset meaning soft or hard reset?

hard reset or soft reset both does not do any good to remove the error message "unble to open the registry key" and to just reload the orginal applications and remove the others

ehmmm ... sad to say maybe u hv to flash the rom

how do i flash the rom?

download the official rom from seeo2 and then make sure ur dev is fully charged ... sync it wz ur pc using active sync then execute the rom (.exe file u hv downloaded)
good luck

Hi guys,
I've already upgraded to WM6 for my Zinc, but I'd like to have an original ROM in case I need to flash back when something's wrong. I checked seeo2 but I can't find it.

You mean the WM5 ROM on seeo2? It's still an upgrade ROM, not the original that comes along with the device at the beginning.
Anyway, I'm a newbie so please advice how to 'downgrade' from WM6 to WM5? Is this similar to the process upgrading from WM5 to WM6 (you just sync the device with PC, run the .exe file on the PC and let it go)?
If it's not, please kindly give me detail instruction
Many thanks
