Has any one managed to update an imate PDA2K with the latest rom. I have tried the up date trick in the forum
[CHECKCEID_TYPE]=1
But I stll get a Country ID Error?
Hrlp
I have upgraded my XDA 2s from o2's original FW to I-MATES latest,
It took several attempts! I kept getting ID error 212212122 kind of thing.
I then tried a USB 2 computer as my USB 1 comp wasn't cutting it and kept resetting the machine half way through :/ thought i'd turned it into a brick, but once i'd tryed it 3 times on USB2 it finaly worked! And I had to add the extra line that you did as well, keep trying
Make sure you know what your Original Firmware is! otherwise you'll be trying to install the wrong FirmWare or ROM update.
Check the wiki, beginners section, search my posts.
I'm now running I-Mate latest FW. its ten times better than O2s old one!
best I can do hope this helps. choppidge.
Upgrading iMate to Latest O2 Rom
Thank you for the advice. Did you upgrade from iMate to 02 or O2 to iMate?
My machine is a USB 2 machine and no matter how may time I tried I got the country ID error.
In the past I have managed to update my iMate to the O2 Rom with previous versions, but when I have tried to update my iMate with the latest ROM I get the Country ID Error -12121212 etc.
Has any one manage dto put the latest O2 Rom on an iMate Blue Angel?
If so please tell me how.
You need this ftp://xda:[email protected]/BlueAngel/Tools/MaUpgradeUt_noID.zip
put it in your upgrade folder and round it , should be no problem , I did o2 to I-mate and Dopod to I-mate n times already.
if got the error on the 1st run with the no-id, run the no-id 4 the 2nd time, it works 4 me, i've flash my pda2k to o2 1.40.00 WWE :lol:

O2 Site Update with Exec ROM :
http://www.my-xda.com/xdaexec_soft.html
Is this a new ROM or O2 providing it as a download to fix peoples devices when they corrupt them?
well spotted a18041967!!!
Upload to XDA FTP server
Can an O2 user upload this rom to the xda-developers server please?
It's the initial release ROM, so it's the same as the one all XDA Execs are being shipped with.
It has (I checked):
OS 1.13.48 WWE (Older than Jasjar, which is 1.13.53)
Extended 1.13.139
Radio 1.04.02 (same as Dopod, was already on FTP)
you can enter any imei
do you think if i have the jas jar rom installed i will be able to override it with the exec rom
sure ... just use the patched exe for upgrade.
i'm thinking of using ROM from jasjar, ExtRom from O2 and the radio from O2
can someone tell us what's installed on the O2 exec by default ?
is it better or worse than the JasJar ?
The only thing that really is different from the Jasjar rom is the O2 Active UI, and we all know that is very unstable.
Most Exec users end up using basic or corporate install, which is comparable to pressing the reset button after a hard reset and thus bypassing the extended rom setup.
I did no different then anyone else in that matter. I selected basic install. The Jasjar OS also is a tad newer, so unless you are a sucker for the O2 layout and style, I'd say stick with the Jasjar.
(I'm a sucker for the O2 styling so I will probably end up combining the Jasjar OS and the O2 ExtRom ;-))
Just be aware: The Jasjar Extended rom will set your boot logo to the I-Mate one, the O2 Extended rom will NOT set it to the O2 one! It does not contain splash.nb files!

Just rename it to zip, extract it, delete ms_.nbf and nk.nbf (the only NBF file you need to leave is radio.nbf), use the MAUpgrade_NoID.exe file and flash your radio. You will not even lose your settings or installed programs
Ok, here's my findings so far, I took delivery of my XDA Exec and all was OK, foolishly I decided to upgrade to the Imate ROM.
After the upgrade I experienced continual problems connecting to my WiFi, and was unable to get the Wireless modem to work.
Today I reverted back to the o2 ROM, both the WiFi & Modem issues have been resolved.

Wiz,
I have the MDA PRO with JasJar ROM I have just upgraded to the Radio Version 1.04.02. Everything is fine. Now I have a QUestion:
If I hard reset my device and bypass the Extended ROM install does it mean tha my Boot screen will not become the one from imate ??. I thought the splash.nb files are in the ROM and not in the Extended ROM. I have tryed to find the Boot Screen image in the cab files of the JasJar Extende ROM and I can not find anything?
Any Ideas
MMB was kind enough to post the Qtek 9000 ROM here:
http://s5.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=12XDPY08OSB2R0PAMI3W42KE3Q
And I will be uploading it to the FTP for everyone else in case the above link expires:
/Uploads/Universal/Shipped ROM/
Even though it has the "latest" ROM date and version number, I seem to be having continuous issues with my Qtek 9000 in the fact that some of my settings refuse to stick:
I have to constantly re-pair my HS850 Bluetooth headset and my GlobalSat BT-338 GPS.
I have to occasionally associate my device to my Wi-Fi router and re-enter my WPA-PSK key.
I have since flashed my device with the JASJAR ROM and the O2 Radio ROM, and customized the JASJAR's Extended ROM to see how much better it performs.
Hi,
Can anyone tell me how I can use this ROM with the NoID installer. Again I need to bypass the country code error generated by the .exe installer.
Or explain to me where these installers "unpack" their files to so I could try and locate them and use the NoID installer from there?
Michael
now only if we can get the english orange rom aswell....

Unit only display "Serial v1.00" after Qtek ROM fl
Hi,
After attempting the Qtek ROM flash my unit now only displays "Serial v1.00" after a cold or hard reset.
I've tried to fallback to the JasJar ROM and the same thing happens.
Any assistance with this problem would be most appreciated.

Hi,
Yes it seemed that a radio only (v 1.04.02) ROM flash got the unit working again.
I did have the SIM and SD card out for several ROM flashes prior, but maybe the combo of all 3 (no SIM, no SD and radio only) was the trick.

That is good news. Please let us know how the ROM of the Qtek performs. Currently I am using the Jasjar rom with the O2 rom. No real issue so far.

If you have WinRAR or WinZip installed, right-click on the executable and choose Extract to [folder]...
Then you can throw in the MaUpgradeUt_NoID.exe file in the same folder and run it.
Someone also said you can add a line [CHECKCEID_TYPE]=1 in the RUU.conf file using Notepad, but I don't think it made a difference for me.
Hi,
Actually the last ROM I flashed was the JasJar so I'm back to square one, but I intend to try the QTek again in a couple of days (just need to settle the nerves a bit after the horror of owning an expensive brick for several hours).
In regards to unpacking the .exe files, I stumbled across that trick with WinRAR myself and I was a little surprised myself. That would make upgrading from other sites so much easier especially with access to the NoID installer.
I might try the NoID and the RUU.dll trick to bypass country code to see if both work (if my heart can stand the strain of more repeats of the brick event).
At the moment I've got a prepaid vodaphone SIM (here in Australia) and I'm working on setting that up. I've been advised that full mobile broadband is only available for billing customers so I'll have to wait until I can visit a shop to sign up and try that.
If anyone has the settings already for vodaphone let me know!

RADIO v1.03.00 required!!
Hi!
Can somebody extract the QTEK 9000 shipped RADIO v1.03.00 out and post here?
The reason being if after upgrading to the RADIO (from Dopod 900) v1.04.02 and finding it unsuitable later on I would like to re-flash it with the original shipped RADIO.
Thanks

Hi Weasel, what do you think of the Qtek ROM? I recently changed from the O2 ROM to the Imate version, would be interested to know what you think are the Pros and Cons of your latest ROM?

Hi
I have just gone through the update process (to UNI_QTEK_13077_176_10900_WWE_Ship.exe) with my xda exec as I was on the latest o2 rom and I followed the instructions here:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/inde...tion On How To Upgrade with Bootloader method
The bit I hadn't picked up before was the .nbf files have to be in the same directory as the rest of the update and MaUpgradeUt_noID - I deleted the radio version witin the folder (radio_.nbf_) and then pasted in the 1.0.9 one which I downloaded speratly - hit MaUpgradeUt_noID and everything completed within 30 mins or so.
The xda is like a new machine compared to the old o2 rom I was on as it's soooo much quicker.
Oh i was worried about not having my o2 settings but if you download this cab file and run this cab[/url after you have finished setting it up on qtek rom you get all your setting back for o2 (choose basic when using cab not corporate as that doesn't seem to work!
Hi Andy, what do you think of the Qtek ROM? I recently changed from the O2 ROM to the iMate version, would be interested to know what you think are the Pros and Cons of your latest ROM?
sorry for the delay in responding:
My first impressions of the QTEK ROM were fine but.... on Sunday, the phone just stopped working completely - no signal etc. Hard reset was required to get it working again. I've disabled error reporting and will load my software back on later today.

Hello to all
i've tried different WM6 Roms but i'm noct convinced to use it yet.
That's why i'm trying to find a way to downgrade to WM5.
I know that there are several how-tos but none worked yet.
I already tried the opposite way via uspl to downgrade. no success yet.
WM5 Rom is here, when trying to downgrade i get the error message 260 which means no connection to the device. i'm using the same machine for downgrading as for upgrading, nothing but the Rom on the phone has changed.
Currently i'm using the o2-xda-orbit german rom.
If anybody has a clue what to do to get the old stuff back, thx in advance
blue
You can downgrade your O2 Orbit successfully if you have Original German ROM (WM5) which is available somewhere in this forum. I can't remember which thread but if you do some search I am sure that you will find it.
I have just found Original German O2 Orbit ROM here : ftp://xda:[email protected]/Uploads/Upload/Official XDA Orbit ROM
Thank you for your answers!
I own a HTC P3300 Artemis.
Using USPL and the original o2 german wm6 rom i flashed it with WM6.
I already downloaded a german wm5 rom, my problem right now is that i cannot by any unknown circumstances get this rom on my phone.
No matter whether i use uspl before trying to flash the original rom or if i don't use uspl the result remains the same.
The update utility keeps telling me that it is not possible to connect to my smartphone.
Active Sync/ Mobile devices center connection is working fine though.

You can try with this Original HTC Artemis WM5 ROM here : http://rapidshare.com/files/19322112/HTC_1.12.405.01_026790_WWE_SHIP.rar
Let us know if this help you.
Thy to all, i made it!
Main problem seemed to be my os!
even though i already flashed using vista as os this time it didn't work out.
I used my other computer running xp and it worked on the first run!
greets blue
... hear that
i recognize that problem... even though i always sync with my laptop (Vista) i use another com (XP) to flash..
Don´t know why but it seems alot have experienced this prob.
I have bought a htc3300 from a dealer that i find at skroutz but after 1 day i had lost the 2nd language keyboard so i took it back to the dealer to fix the problem he said that wm6 is free to upgrade so let passed it but he put the touch htc software that don't work good how can i downgrade to wm5 again please help it's only 2 days mobile !!!!
well after many pockets of tobaccos i fix it with the Original HTC Artemis WM5 ROM here : http://rapidshare.com/files/19322112...0_WWE_SHIP.rar thanxs very much it finds the image version of htc touch and make a downgrade that was that the upsl cannot do ,the upls reload the same version that had before maybe because it didn't know the previus
Humm??
The UPLS is not a ROM??
When you run UPLS it sets the CID registration, so you can flash any ROM you want - but offcouse you still have to get the ROM
you 're right after upsl you can downgrade or upgrade... many tnx for info...

Hi guys.
I am looking for latest ROM upgrade for O2 Xda Exec. I searched the form and eveylink is down.
From the O2 site, this phone is discontinued so out of luck for me i guess?
they refer me to a non UK based side as im not a UK customer but even there i can't find the ROM upgrade.
What i have now was what it was 1st manufactured with. So this puts me back and realized alot of applications and programs i want to have i.e. iphone look, i need this upgrade.
If anyone has a link i would truly appriciate it.
Here was the link from this forum but as you can see all links are down

oh man...
ran this and BAD news
my device isnt even starting up now. it did it then showed error then it showed asked me to do the recovery steps so i did and when i hard reset it it shows the white skin to press x or 0 so i left it and on my computer is said press next.suddenly the computer says it got a problem. i am using vista
can anyone help.
im in a bigger fix now, trying to fix a small problem!
My O2
upgraded without any problems and very fast, I was holding off upgrading the original O2 Exec ROM for quite some time, because I was worried my Imate ROM and software experiments might go wrong one day and I'll at least have a working O2 to get me through. However, my JasJar ran into problems with Ranju 7.7 update and was bricked and stuck on Imate blue versions screen (an equivalent of O2's water bubbles splash) for good. I tried everything. At some point I even tried to calm myself down by thinking that at least I can salvage the brand new screen I had installed a few weeks ago and put it into another JasJar I have that needs one. For my solution see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=2229386#post2229386
Although it's for JasJar, I think it just might work for you.
Hope it helps
On the other hand
if you have access to an XP computer, I'd take my ROM and AS4.5 and try to upgrade with XP. I heard Vista can be quite unreliable in such matters. If I am not mistaken, there is a thread somewhere about that very problem with Vista.
Thanks for the suggestion. I will try this and post back.
Edit:
Problem fixed. All i did was use a Win XP computer, installed ActiveSync 4.1
Did a soft reset while XDA was plugged it and opened the ROM by Ranju 7.7
Came up with no problems at all!
Now only one more thing to solve. My 500GB external HD fell to the floor and now computer isnt picking it up and its making weird sounds. I have 300GB worth of medical school stuff and programs. If i dont get my datea then i am done for. If anyone has info on this let me know.
Cheers
Where do I get Ranju 7.7 from?
Is there a link to Ranju 7.7?
And so it works well for O2's XDA EXEC?
Do a simple search. Here is the link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=367448
yes it works with O2 XDA Exec as i did it with mine.
I had the original ROM that the device came with and it installed a really excellent interface and you will have Win Mobile 6
I would really advice you to run it with a Win XP computer only. Vista is not friendly at all.
