Unlocking Imate PDA2K extended rom

Dear All,
I am not sure if this topic has been covered but is there a program to unlock the extended rom of my Imate PDA2k device? The 19.5k program which I remember was posted a while back does not unlock my extended rom. Has anyone found a solution?
Best regards,
Gilbert

Hi again,
Does anyone have aanswer to unlocking the extended rom of blue angel?
Best regards,
Gilbert

The attached zip holds the two files you need. Thanks to some members here at XDA-dev.com
Copy both to your Imate. Tap on the .cab file to install it. Then using a file explorer such as Resco, run unlockextrom with the arguement -unlock -xda3 Once that is done, do a soft reset and you should be go to go.
Dave

Nice.. Thank you!
One question from a wary user.... Will unlocking the rom cause problems with a rom upgrade down the road? That is, if IMate releases a new rom upgrade, will it upgrade fine? I would assume that if it upgrades fine, then I would need to unlock it again after the rom update?
Thanks!

I only unlock my ROM when I want to make a change. Otherwise, I leave it locked.

This also happens on the XDA II. I found that with dismissing the errors, eventually it says unlocked OK. And after a reset, I can see and write to the Extended ROM.

I agree with dcs, it should eventually work.
Unlocking the Extended ROM doesn't seem to have an effect on ROM updates that I have seen or heard of.

No!!
This tool gives you access to a hidden storage of the MDAIII.

But with the new /Storage you don't need to unlock the ROM unless you plan to modify the cab files used in hard resets, correct?

No, but, it does give you more usable storage, especially if you move the .cabs out of the folder till the next hard reset.

Rom version
Hi all,
i just bought my 9090 here in Portugal and it has
Rom version 1.12.00 WWE
Radio Prot 1.02.00
Protocol 1337.32
Extended Rom 1.12.120 WWE
i just saw the extended rom upgrade, but where can i find the Rom upgrade ?
anyone?

Remove Wifi logo
By the way, i just unlocked my extrom and found a "strange" .cab
BA_OEM_PA_Remove_Wifi_Logo.sa.cab
any comments on what this really is?

Hi guys,
Thanks for the tools but I couldn't unlock my Imate PDA2k. To unhide ExtROM but couldn't edit it is useless.
Could anybody give me a hint? Thanks many times!

How much MB of hidden storage we are talking about?
Thanks

No. There's no news on whether O2 (or any operator, I guess) will be bringing out a ROM to include WM2003 SE.

Can you put her the 1.72.181 extended ROM CABs?
Thanks.

MDA II Compatible ?
Will this rom with Blackberry work on the MDA II?

Is this ROM working also on XDA1??

Yes it should be OK. Your main problem would be to do with setting up the Blackberry stuff with the service provider.

If the new ROM upgrade is country dependent, I mean for the radio version. I do not see this upgrade available thru Hong Kong Support site.
Does anyone try the Voice dial and Truefax function after the upgrade ? Are they good ?

Broken link ?
Guys,
The download link is broken for some reason. Whenever I click on it, I get a page cannot be displayed error. Tested with Netscape, Mozilla and Micro$hit Exploder 6.x.
Is it a browser setting issue ?
Thanks

XDA2 locks up with new ROM upgrade
Me and colleagues at work have all had problems with the XDA 2 locking up. We all upgraded to O2s latest and final ROM release that became available in Nov 2004. The screen goes blank and sometime the power button is lit, sometimes not. Soft reset does nothing - the only way to get the device to do anything is to hard reset at which point you get a working phone again but have lost all data and any problems loaded. Also, once reset, backup does not fully restore the full configuration, there are a number of files that can not be restored at all.
Any help would be appreciated.
XDA2
O2
ROM: 1.72.00WWE
Radio 1.17.00
ExtROM 1.72.181

Hello. I've an O2 XDA II bought (online) from USA (I think). ROM version is 1.03.00 USA (Radio version is 1.05.12).
I would like to upgrade firmware but I have a little fear
May I download the new firmware from 02 (1.72.187) or I have to use something else? I'm using the XDA in Italy (if it's useful)
Thanks for your help

Will the blackberry work on the blue angel and the magician?

upgrade win2003SE

Hi All
New here so please be kind,
I have an O2 IRL XDA II and wish to update this to the new win version above, I did manage this but lost all conenction settings for MMS, WAP and gprs when done.
Is there some file(Cab?) that can be installed after the fresh install to give me these settings again and if so how is it run?
Thanks
Darren

edited for more details
You must take the file from any one from your friend have a PPC phone edition that runs on win 2003 se
you need the program that opens extended rom and I think you have it , so open your extended rom by clicking on start - programs - extrom tools - unhide and unlock , after that restart your device and open your file explorer and you will see there's extended rom direcory revealed , open it and you will see extended rom installation program file there , copy it to your friend device ,install the extended rom program on his device and open his extended rom like what you did on your device ( don't click on unlock , it will show error on his device ) and you will see his files and the file setting for mobile telecommunications
companies copy the file you want on your extended rom and open your config file that inside the exteded rom directory and add list as list above ( cab ://my device/extended_rom/ (your file name.cab ) )
it will be installed after hard reset automatically
I wish this info's help's you

Win 2003SE for indonesia
hi all..
can anyone help me 'bout this?
i want to upgrade my xdaII to win 2003SE with autoconfig for indonesia provider..
can anyone tell me where i can dwld this OS..? or can send it to my email directly..? ([email protected])
Anyway... thx.

Is there any O2 (eng) rom can be used on Mda pro ? thanks

where i can get the rom?

O2 english ROM
Yes ofcourse there is O2 english ROM. U can get it from XDA ftp site.
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BA_FTP_Site
and then click ftp://xda:[email protected]
go there and then open Map Uploads ----- then go to Universal File the last right side and then open ---- Shipped ROMs and there you wil see xda EXEC rom and download it : this is direct ite but sometimes it doesnot work:
ftp://ftp.xda-developers.com/Uploads/Universal/Shipped ROM/

Hi
Yes there is, I just did it and it works a treat! Its on the ftp site under shipped roms. Read the jasjar update guide elsewhere in this forum.
You'll need to install winrar in order to unpack the .exe from O2.
There are a few little oddities + if yr on t-mobile you wont want all the O2 junk. I'll post later what I did, I have stuff from O2, T-Mob and JasJar extended roms (but not much of each). An awful lot of sh1te comes with the device, and some simple messing is required to excise it.
I can tell you that in my experience:
- JasJar rom is slower than t-mobile (even before you install contents of ext rom.
- O2 Rom (with no extended rom) is quicker than MDA Pro rom
- O2 Rom + selection of cherrypicked cabs from mda/exec/jasjar runs better than t-mobile+tmobile ext rom.
Also, installing the XDA rom seems to fix the issue where the ruddy phone does not ring until 3rd ring when it is turned off. (I shall experiment with this more later) <--EDIT Nope, still does not ring until 3rd ruddy ring!
Anyway, i'll post a step-by-step, collating all the info from the helpfull chaps on here.
IMHO though, O2 run is currently the way to go.

And what about the German Hardware-Keyboard when I would install the English o2-Rom on my German MDA Pro? Would like to still have a German keyboard but an English OS. Like my Windows XP.

NiteShift:
You schould read
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=29354
to get a german Hardware-Keyboard on TM-MDAPRO (German).
The Software-Keyboard is branded into the english ROM
(JASRAR or XDA EXEC). You shoult install
http://www.resco.net/pocketpc/keyboard/default.asp
RESCO´s Keyboard/Pro to overlay it.
I´m using german`s MDAPRO with O2 XDA EXEC because
german MDAPRO crashes often.

QTEK9000 Spanish -> English

Hello Everyone,
I just joined this forum as i was able to buy a QTEk with the following details:
Version de ROM : 1.13.74 ESN
Version de Movil : 1.04.02
Version Protocolo : 42.37.P8
Version de ExtROM : 1.13.169 ESN
As I am more fluent in English than Spanish, I wanted to upgrade my ROM to English, but also I would need to Backup the ROM of the spanish version so if there are problems with the phone, I can flash it back to the original manufacturer installed ROM.
What program do I need to Backup the ROM (and restore in the future) before I start fiddling?
Also, I heard that I can erase Extended ROM. As of now, what can I use the space that I will gain from erasing the contents of the Extended ROM?
Also one thing i noticed is that some of the keys have rub marks coming from the upper part of the universal (the screen) I think they touch eachother when it is colsed. Is this a factory defect?
Finally, I don't know where to register and get support for my QTEK. Where do you download/search for patches? Where do I register this device? Should I have gotten an i-mate instead?
Thanks in advance for all your comments, guys.
Jorge

GUYS?!?
Hello Anybody out there?
I have posted this message 2 weeks ago, a few views but no answers so I'll go ahead and update you on what's happened:
Thanks to BUZZ_LIGHTYEAR I was able to RAW DUMP my Spanish ROM to a File which I exchanged for a decoded nk.nbf file from an unpacked English ROM Update (the QTEK WWE) then I encoded the RAW file so now I have a new nk.nbf file which i pressume is the Spanish verion.
I'm not sure if it'll make a difference that the rest of the files are in English but will this update any UNIVERSAL to the Spanish verion? Anybody needs Spanish ROM and is willing to test this out? I can send you the Files needed? If it doesn't work you just have to flash back to the English. I haven't tested it yet because my device is originally Spanish so I have no fallback ROM if it doesn't work. But I followed BUZZ's instructions and I don't think it's gonna cause a problem.

Hmm,
seems this topic is very boring to everybody here, oh well....
Anybody has similar case of rubbed-out keys on the keyboard?

Just to show that there are persons available reading and having an opinion
Left and right of my keyboard, a little lower then the keys itself there are two outstanding rubber ? pads ? protecting the display from touching the keyboard, be it in portrait or landscape mode. So no, I do not have this problem.
Ruud

Mine have the rubber stuff too, Maybe i have them a little low... Could I possibly get a replacement? I don't think this can be considered wear-and-tear as i only had my phone for 1 month..... And the "damage" was caused by open/closing of the phone. Not using of the keyboard.

I would say certainly worth a try.
Good luck.
Ruud

i need spanish rom
I bought my qtek 9000 from O2 (UK) by ebay, it works great, but i need spanish software, i'd like to probe MoviStar, vodafone (if available) and free Spanish versions. I also need instructions or manual, i flashed a xda2 once, but i can't remember how i did, i think i put it in a special test mode. Thanks.

I have posted the QTEK Spanish ROM in the uploads section. Please look for it. Both OS and Extended ROM are there.
Just download the OS, and run the "noID" file to upgrade your QTEK to Spanish. Just remember that also the keyboard will be configured to Spanish (which has the "Ñ" character) so you have to re-map it back to whatever keyboard you have. You can search how to do this in the forums.
Just download the 2 said files, then you can upgrade your ROM. These ROM's are dated OCTOBER 2005

what do i need for backuping my system to a sdcard?

Im not sure. I backed-up to my PC. I think you can search here for grab_it program that dumps to SD card but i'm not sure it will work for WM5 or Universal

Well, how did you backup system to your pc?
and thanks again.

Actually, what i backed up was my OS nad ExtendedROM. No personal customizations.
You can see in my second post that i was able to do it thru steps i saw at BUZZDEV.NET thanks to buzz-lightyear.
It's under "how to d2s dump" you can follow my story there on how to backup ROM. Esentially it copies your operating system to a file on your PC which you can then install on another device after encoding/decoding.
I have posted my Spanish QTEK ROM on the FTP site so you can change your QTEK to spanish if you want.
What's your QTEK ROM version? all details please:
ROM Version
ROM Date
Protocol Version
Radio Version
Extended ROM Version

What's your QTEK ROM version? all details please:

It is not a shipping ROM but you need 2 files:
1st: ftp://xda:[email protected]/Uploads/Universal/
QTEK Spanish ROM (1.13.74 ESN).rar --- This is the OS ROM
2nd: ftp://xda:[email protected]/Uploads/Universal/
QTEK ExtendedROM.rar --- this is the Extended ROM

i have the spanish extended rom, but the jasjar don´t reconice ?¿
thanks for alll

You have to install first the QTEK OS ROM then copy the Extended ROM after. Where in Spain do you live?
You can call me if you need more help. But i speak English, my Spanish is MIERDA

where unlock ?¿?
