1.40 iMate ROM and XDA2s

Hi all, my new BA arrived finally! I have decided to keep it afterall. I am a total n00b at this stuff, and really struggle to understand the Wiki site. However, I did manage to download XDA tools and backup my ROM.
I then downloaded the PDA2k_WWE_14000_176_11200 ROM from the FTP site. It said it was going to update my Radio and Ext. ROM too. Anyhow, it comes up with the country code error.
I added that line of script into the file but it still has the error. Any ideas? I thought the iMate 1.40 ROM was supposed to work on the XDA2s.
I really want a more stable device. Are there any other ways to do this? I tried using XDA Tools to upload the NK part of the iMate ROM separately, but it said it needed to be an exact size to work.
What is the best ROM? We couldn't even figure out how to cook and Ext. ROM so if anyone could give me a hand it would be much appreciated. The Wiki assumes you know what you're doing but I really have no idea.
Cheers guys - Mike x

You don't need to use XDA Tools it you're using a standard manufacturers ROM, just the No ID program for the device ID shortcut.
I had to add the country code ID in too, but after that it was golden. Not sure what's up with you...

If you are on O2 UK and want the imate ROM that also has O2 settings for GPRS, MMS etc, have a look here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=24000&highlight=
It's a set of instructions that I made using the wiki, as well as info other members had given me, particularly mdaIIIuser to upgrade a UK O2 XDA IIs to the imate 1.40 without having to enter GPRS settings etc manually afterwards, and still keeping the country code to O2 (which means you can use an official O2 upgrade later , without any problems, if they ever get their arses in gear!)
If you need any more help, let me know and I'll do what I can. If you have an ftp site you want me to upload my upgrade files to, PM me with the details and I'll send it you. I'd put in on the ftp here, but i don't think it's worth taking up so much space with a customised ROM.
HTH,
Fin

OK guys, I managed to upgrade my device to the latest iMate ROM, and the 1.13 radio ROM
Problem now is cooking my Ext. ROM. I know I can't update the Ext. ROM that came with the iMate ROM. I want to put my 02 settings in, but I really don't know how. It won't let me put my old 02 image back on the phone, it says the USB is not connected properly
Does anyone have the .nb1 of the 02 Ext. ROM?

Sack that. I downloaded the newest 02 Rom I could find and extracted just the ext. Rom file from the .exe
I am learning

which o2 rom did you use? if it was the uk rom you will have problems as it is 1.31 and your rom is 1.40. you need to unlock the extended rom and copy the base rom 1.40*147 then add your o2 cabs and anything else
hth

Hey thanks Findus, your guide was great.
Yea, I put the 02 1.3 extended ROM on. I didn't know what else to do.
Do you mean the base extended ROM of the iMate 1.40 ROM I put on? I tried that, and there is no Config.txt in the iMate extended ROM.
Sorry, I don't understand this too well

I did not do anything with upgradetools.rar but the device seems to be working fine. I haven't made a call yet as I'm cut off. Does this mean I don't have to do it?
Chers -Mike

Glad to have helped, although I can't take credit, I got all the info from thw wiki and other posts!
Have just been trying to upload my Extended ROM, it is a modified version of Cooked ERK 1.4x Base that can be found in the wiki under ERK 1.40 . This version of the EXT ROM does have a config.txt, you were probably looking at 1.40.176? All I did was add the 6/7 O2 CABS to the config.txt of the base rom, then changed the caller id cab to 1.20 from the link below:
ftp://xda:[email protected]/BlueAngel/CAB_Files/Caller ID/IA_CallerID_1.20_WWE.CAB
You will probably have some problems with the Ext ROM you have on at the moment, because you haven't got any of the patches for 1.40 which might mean GPRS etc might be unstable.
I will try and upload my Ext ROM again later if you want, all you will need to do is unlock your ext rom, delete the files, and copy over the new files. DO a hard reset and you're away!
Good luck!
Fin

OK, I don't understand.
I just delete all the files (aside from the 02 setup ones) of my current ROM and put these ones in? I don't need to upgrade the Ext. ROM bith the BAUpdate thing?

No, you won't use the BA Upgrade itility- that is for reflashing, which if you had a ms_.nbf file(extended ROM installation file) you would need. There is no tool to edit ms_.nbf files on Blue Angel, instead you have to unlock the Ext ROM manually, copy/delete files, update the config.txt then do a hard reset. Takes some getting used to- I was used to using er2003edit with my Himalaya to make a custom ms_.nbf file, but hey, this method works too!
Good luck,
Fin

Hey man, I already did it! Well good! It's based on the Qtek ROM you reccommended with the o2 stuff added in and the caller ID updated.
now running:
ROM version: iMate 1.40.00 WWE
ROM date: 03/10.05
Radio version: 1.13,00
Protocal version: 1337.42
ExtROM: 1.40.147 based on the Qtek cooked for use on 02 UK
My phone hasn't required a single hard reset all day and is still recieving calls (with sound) and messages
Thanks everyone!

Hi
I am about to get an XDAIIs to replace my falling apart PDA2K.
I want to use it on Vodafone.
Is there a real 'idiots' guide to putting the latest and greatest ROM onto the XDAIIs.
(I really do mean idiots guide by the way).
Cheers.

MDA PRO English Extended Rom for NL uploaded

I uploaded the extended rom for the MDA PRO English. Nice touch, it contains Dutch T9.
it's in the upload directory, called mda_pro_nl_extrom.zip
ftp://xda:[email protected]/Uploads/mda_pro_eng_nl_extrom.zip
(adding it to this post gave an error message)

This file is only 1.5 MB?
I suppose it is not the full ROM image. What does it contain?
I am trying to revive a dead JasJar and wondering if this is the correct thing to load.

It is the Extended ROM, not the OS Rom, and will therefore only contains the English T-Mobile additions.

hi its only 1.28 mb..im guessing its not the full version.. can you poist teh full version tahnbks

@ Wiz,
would you know the actual application name of these cabs? I'm just wondering what are the included apps that are not in JasJar
** dont want to run each cab to see what's worth it or not
thanks!

How did you access to the extended rom? I tired to access to it in order to remove the Arabic support of my JasJar, but I cannot get it, the soft of my 9090 do not seems to work
Thanks !

I used www.ghisler.com Total Commander for PocketPC and typed in \Extended_Rom\ in the command line and pressed enter. I then copied everything to storage card

Could you please indicate which one installs the T-Mobile coloured dialer skin?
Another thing: there is no difference in available memory (both program and storage) after a hard reset with installing T-Mobile extended ROM or wihout installing extended ROM. This could be the case due to the fact that the installed software has approximately the same size as the CAB-files. As I have no access to the Extende ROM (nor Windows folder via ActiveSync) I am afraid that I am missing valuable memory after installing from the file of Wiz and that somewhere the CAB files still exist on my device. Does someone know where I can find (and delete) the Extended ROM and which CAB-files I should install and what the meaning is of each CAB-file?
Many thanks in advance

Ok it works thanks, but... it is on "read only" cannot erase some stuff

The Extended rom currently cannot be "unhidden" or "made writable". We need the experts from XDA Developers for this .... The only thing you can currently do is copy them to a storage card and install them manually.
Incidentally I was wrong about the file that does the T-Mobile dialer skin etc. The file that should not be installed manually is:
Enable_VT_RTPlugin_0727_2_signed.CAB,
(I justed tested and confirmed that myself

Hi wiz
cant access the link for the extended rom you have. can you please check and tell me how can i get that file?
thanks keep up the gr8 work

Would it mean that If I take the corrsponding cab: Enable_VT_RTPlugin_0727_2_signed.CAB from the O2 XDAExec extended rom I would Get the Dialer scin form the O2 XDA EXEC ?
PLus can someone PLease upload the extended ROM from JASJAR.
Oh and something else which cab file is responcible for the MSN ?

does anyone know which file includes the T9 dutch?
I do not want the rest I only want the T9 on my mda-pro back again

well I beleive it is the t9dutch.ldb I can get it off my MDA PRo it is still with the crappy t-mobile ROM, if that helps let me know and give me your e-mail adress. But again I saw this file in the windows directory, so maybe I am wrong and you need the install for it

Vodafone VPX rom wanted

I've had a look around the FTP but to no avail.
Is there a WWE VPX rom around anywhere, or a link to download one from the voda site? I've tried looking but not found one yet.
Device is PH20B currently on 1.42, 1.13 and O2 ext rom from their latest release.

looking for the same thing for months, no luck either

Is it possible to steal the theme then from the VPA ROM? The cool red and silver one.
What I have done is use the T-Mob 1.42 ROM with the VPA Ext Rom.
The main language was english, but anything that was installed by the ext rom became german - so not much use to me.

yep
did the same thing, does not work well
Lordao

Here you go guys, The Vodafone theme

I've got a German VPX rom. As I'm a lazy muppet can anyone host this for me / walk me through uploading it to the FTP? It's no longer on their site.
Richard

I'm searching for the newst ROM file for the Vodafone VPx..
Rightnow I have
Rom version: 1.22.00 WWE
Rome Date: 10/22/04
Radio version: 1.06.00
Protocol version: 1337.38
ExtROM version: 1.22.155 WWE
I assume it's too old ROM, Where to find the new one?
Should the one for PDA2K or Qtek9090 ROM work on my device??
Waiting for reply

Vodafone WWE Ext ROM..
Downloaded the Vodafone skin posted above, thanks
However does anyone have the UK Vodafone Ext ROM, or even a WWE one from somewhere else? I assume the company specific Ext ROM adds different functionality other than a skin...
Aim is to use most current ROM/Radio on O2 XDA IIs with a vodafone Ext ROM as I'll be using a Vodafone SIM... noticed a German Ext ROM for Vodafone VPAIII dated 140206 on the FTP site, can this be switched to English, and is it compatible with the O2 XDAIIs etc.?

Well a search gave me this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=46603&highlight=voda*
The rom is old and not in the wiki list due to the fact nobody cared to add it even though its no the ftp site.

hmmm...

Yip, been there, seen that, but I dont kow how to extract the ext rom stuff from the .exe
So I did search, I did read, but I didn't know what the next step was, hence the reason for asking someone to upload an ext rom to the kitchen other than the GER versions...
OK, went back to the WIKI and now realise that all I need is the ms_.nbf file from the WWE version mentioned above :shock: :shock: The question now is, how can I install that with a 1.40/1.42 ROM?

Well you don't
The Ext rom conmsits of apps and patches that are made for a rom version.
The apps are no problem the patches are as they will over write the files that have most likely been updated in the new rom.
(As in BT stack in 1.22 ships as 1.xx in the rom,
got updated to 1.xy in the ext rom
and the rom 1.40 its now 1.yy.
Run the ext rom then you are back to 1.xy)
So if you want to have the same carrier related stuff on a none same carrier rom then you save the cabs of the ext rom before you upgrade.
As for the vodaphone thing, well we have had no ship roms in the 1.4x family and no wwe ext roms uploaded. So what ever you want to do you have yourself.
BA kitchen goes into that in more detail I know as I wrote it.

Almost there... (Thanks to the Wiki & Forum)!
OK, finally took the plunge...
O2 XDAIIs arrived yesterday, Rom 1.31... updated straight away to the O2 update from there site (available on this site Xda_IIs_Upgrade_v140242.exe) and all went well... I then added a Vodafone skin but that wasn't really good enough It meant I still had the O2 Active gubbins all over my PDA which is of course no use...
Long night ahead I thought... and I was right
I now have the 1.42 CE ROM with the 1.15 Radio ROM and a cooked version of the Vodafone German EXT_ROM with many of the items replaced with the most current items from the Kitchen!
I still have a few niggles... double entries of files etc such as Windows media player, album etc (1 GER, 1 WWE) but the GER ones crap out and the WWE ones work... all I need to do now is work out which bits are installed by what in the original stuff and I should be able to sort it...
I have one request... could someone please post the UK Vodaphone version of the CAB which sets up the Vodafone Live! stuff? my vodafone live is all screwed up and looking for German stuff...
I will keep you informed in a new thread as to how my continued conversion goes!
Thanks to all who have updated the forum/Wiki it has been no end of help and I have a hybrid set of roms, with a cooked ext_rom and fully functional WiFi/BT/GPRS/MMS witin 24 hrs of receiving my XDA and taking the plunge... major kudos to you all!
As MDAUSERIII says... read the Wiki, and all will become clear!

Try this http://www.vodafone-dataworld.co.uk/uploads/BA_VF_UK_14000_238_11300_Ship.exe

Nice link
How did you get to that file so I can post it to wiki.

Where'd you find that!?!?!

Awesome link! D/Ling just now... then reflash (again!)
I'm now in a bit of a quandry... having finally got a data enabled device (BA as opposed to my mobile and Palm T3) I am now looking to use my data services more, but I have looked around for the best deals (I use PAYG) and it looks to be between O2 and Orange... the price of data on Vodafone is just too damned high...
I'l load this up and see how it goes first... thanks for your help

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 ?¿?

ok i live in malaga, do you have msn

mine is [email protected]

Can you please recommend a suitable ROM for me?

Hello all,
I just bought a Jasjar a few days ago.
I have past experience with WM devices in general and had a few HTC devices also.
The installed ROM in my JJ is:
R 1.09.00
D 1.30.76 WWE
P 42.42.P8
Bootloader 0.6
1. Is this what they call: JASJAR_WWE_13076_164_10900_wwe_ship ?
2. Where can I find the lateset guide how do flash a new ROM on my device?
3. I heard there was a tool developed by one of the members here who can help preventing the rom to get corrupted ( brick something ? ) during the update can you please link me ?
4. Can anyone who own a JJ ( or had one in teh past ) recommend me on a fast and stable WM5 ROM he is using ?
What I need to have in the ROM is:
- Voice dialing using BT headset
- Speed ( as fast as possible )
- Space ( the more the better )
- Stability ( must be stable cause I don't have much time to troubleshoot it all day )
- Video call - not a must but nice to have if possible
- Fully operational BT and WIFI
Thanks in advance to all helpers

WOW... One at a time please... not all at once...
If I asked too much in my previous post then I appologize.
I will appreciate it a lot if anyone can just recommend me on a fast and stable ROM for JJ.
Thanks for the helpers ( if there will be any )

Try KDS Kamal's WM5 ROM. You won't regret it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=319838
As for instructions, every file is included on the ZIP. It ONLY contains the CE ROM file, which is the only thing you need now. You can upgrade the Radio version later if you prefer. I suggest look for Radio 1.15 or 1.14.10.
Instructions:
1: Extract the folder.
2: Place your device on boot loader mode by pressing these 3 buttons ALL AT THE SAME TIME:
Backlight Button
Reset Pin
Power Button
DON'T BE ALARMED IF YOUR DEVICE WON'T TURN ON. LOOK AT THE SCREEN AND YOU WILL SEE THE BOOT LOADER VERSION.
3: Now you are ready for your very 1st upgrade. Connect your device via USB.
4: Double click the file Ma_upgrade_NO ID to run it and follow the on screen instructions.
Good Luck.
---

I also recommend that you look for the Ext ROM Unlocker prior to the upgrade and delete the contents of the Extended ROM as you don't need it. The EXT ROM contains customizations of the previous ROM so it will definitely mess up whatever ROM you will flash.
---

Thank you very much
I will get on it.
I have done some reading and searching about those procedure you mentioned, may I ask a few questions just to be sure ?

Sure. Just post it.

Ok here it goes:

Is it possible to get a link to it ?
2. Can you please confirm on the ROM flashing actions order ?
I was just about to run and flash the ROM's you guys suggested but then I noticed that "boot Loader" version should be changed and also EXT. ROM...
I have "boot loader" v0.60 do I need to upgrade it before ROM change ?
3. You mention that i should clear the Ext. ROM content, how can I know which files to delete in the Ext. ROM and which to keep? Will the new ROM write it's own files to the Ext. ROM ?
4. After I delete those unneeded files from Ext. ROM, can I use the space became available for daily use storage purposes ? if yes how ?
that's it for now
Thanks again for your time and effort

3rd: Extract the contents of the folder. If you need more explanation: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=269118
4th: Place your device on BOOT LOADER MODE:

The current contents of your ext rom is for the current CE ROM. Not deleting all of it will cause conflicts on the new ROM you are going to use. It is just like myself wearing someone else's dirty old clothes.

YES, you can use the 9.93MB EXT ROM just like a SD Card. It can NOT be merge as of yet. You can use the Ext ROM Unlocker. But beware, if you unlock the Ext ROM and configured your mail attachment to be stored in the SD card, it will use the EXT ROM as the default Storage Card. Causing your Storage Card to be renamed as Storage Card 2.

For my experiences you will get trouble if you have "boot loader" v0.60 and upgrade to WM6. You need min. V1.0

Thank you Bulldog, I'm not upgrading to WM06.
I want to flash another ROM but to stay with WM05.
Should I upgrade my "Boot Loader" to 1.2 anyway ?
what's the use of this "Boot loader"?
BR
Sam

You could compare bootloader with BIos of your PC.
I have personaly no experience with V1.2 but since I have read here,it suppose to be o.k.
good Luck and happy flashing

KAMAL Ultimat WM5 Edition is The Best
Thats just my Opionion,have not come across any problems from that Version than from the rest om wm5 & wm6,Ive been testing all roms for months,and can just say that this is the Best rom.Greets

Thanks for the tip M8,
I already download it and will get to it as soon as I have the time and a quiet enviroment...

OK ! I made it !!!
I flashed the bootloader from 0.60 to 1.01 according to bulldog's advise and then the ROM according to Christian's instruction and it went well! the device is faster, more pretty ( thanks to Kamal ) and have much more memory ( 70MB vs ~40MB )
The whole process took me less then 15 mins and it was a no brainer
Don't know why I was so afraid to do it up until now...
Many thanks to Christian and Bulldog for the showing me the way!
And of course to KAMAL for his good looking and fast ROM.
One issue tho': I couldn't install the Hebrew support and got a: "Couldn't recognize the platform" error.
I manage to overcome it by exctracting the cabs from the EXE file, copy it to the device and running the CABS from the device.
Other then that everything is looking good, Im installing the GPS software and all my apps and will update if any problems.
Thanks again

I need help too
Hey guys, Can't say i'm much different then SAMJJ. After seeing the excellent support he received from BULLDOG & CHRISTIAN i decided to ask the questions.
First of all, i've got a jasjar with WM% and following setup:
ROM Version: 1.30.82 WWE
ROM Date: 02/22/06
Radio Version: 1.09.00
Protocol Version: 42.42.P8
ExtRom Version: 1.30.171 WWE
Now here's the deal, i would like to upgrade to WM6. I need a link to the most stable, bug free version possible. Let me say that i am looking for speed without loosing any of the new features of WM6.
Furthermore, i want to continue using bluetooth & wifi without a problem.
also one more thing i want to setup my JASJAR to use the IPhone theme as it shows below:
The problem is currently the version of this theme is only available for QVGA devices, while JJ is a VGA screen. So i had to resize the icons and background for VGA size in WisBar & WAD, but it is too much work and the result is not that good.
I know OZANKILIC came up with a VGA version few days ago but i need something free and easy to setup. pls. advise also. Awaiting your wonderful feedback at the soonest.

Hello tuckeyfh,
You can take a look here:
http://218.93.115.138/d900/wm6
The site is a bit slow and sometimes fail to load but refreshing a few times and it's ok.
I didn't dig much into the WM6 issue so I don't know much about it but for now I prefer using a fast and stable WM5 since I heard there still quite a few apps and drivers issues with WM6.
From my browsinf in the net the most recommendations of WM6 ( AKA "Crossbow") I saw on the net were by JWRIGHTMCPS, Dark force & PDAviet but I'm sure there are others, you just need to download them all and try one by one.
Good luck
