Reverting from New iMate ROM - Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking

Can someone help me please.
Like many I was anxiously waiting for the new ROM for my KJam because of A2DP. As soon as it was on the iMate site I flashed my device only to find out that it wasn't included.
Based on experience I figure it will be months before iMate do a new release, so I'm kinda stuck, or am I?
iMate say that I cannot go backwards after having loaded the new ROM, but I read in the forum that maybe it is possible. (I didn't have the foresight to backup my old ROM to SD though).
What I want to do now, if I can, is load up the test Qtek WWE Rom from the FTP site. The feedback there suggests it works well, so I am willing ot try it, if it means I will get A2DP.
Can anyone advise me how to do that (if I can).
Thanks all.

As far as I know you can reflash your rom with any rom. As long as it is divice compateable.
Im fairly new to this.
So find the one you want on this forum or the wiki and reflash the same way you did the last one.
I have run about 3 differnet ROMs on my UNI up to now. I find the latest imate rom very stable.
I have rolled back to the O2 rom currently as I want to play with the extended rom on the o2 rom and put it into the exetended rom on imate.
Again I forgot to back it up.

You can benefit from a ROM upgrade including upgrade of Radio ROM. There are a few available versions of WM6. Each of them is good but depending on your requirment you can choose. Full instructions on downloading and installing are given elsewhere in these forum.I am using the one below by Jwright:

Dumping ROM

One of my sales guys has just brought a spanking new XDA Exec he received from O2 as an upgrade. It's ROM, albeit still WM5, is definitely newer than the one available from O2 UK web site. E.g. ExtROM ends with .23x, and ROM itself is I think .16x.
I know there's a way to easily dump this ROM. I'd like to upgrade myself, and I'd gladly share it with you. In fact, he's quite keen to share it.
Only I found that I know how to flash a ROM into XDA, but I don't know how to strip it from an XDA...
Any tips as to where do I go for the tools? Am willing to do the search, only where?
The tool(s) must allow a nonexperienced person to dump his XDA's ROM into a file for me.
some rom upgrade programs will ask you if you want to save the current version in case you decide to downgrade later, I don't know if this is one of them, but if it is, you just might be able to start the upgrade process and save the old rom then cancel. Don't do it until someone with more knowledge weighs in on the issue. and please do post the rom if and when you get it, Thanks!!!!
Haven't done it in a long while. Have a look here:

Ideally use the mtty/d2s methods. Any rom dumper you run on the phone itself (as opposed to your pc) will not give an ideal virgin rom dump.

I wonder if it's worth a bother extracting this newer ROM.
On one side, everybody seem to be so much preoccupied with newer WM6 ROMs.
On the other side, many people decide to go back to WM5 after testing the Beta ROMs because one or more critical function(s) is missing in their world picture.
So I thought, may be for those who "repented" a newer official O2 XDA Exec ROM.
Am I the only one who has seen a production WM5 ROM newer than what's on O2 site?

Nope, I also have just got a new O2 Exec, with a ROM they don't have on their website (the obvious or the awkward to find place!)
I also would like to extract the ROM for exactly the same reason, ie decide to go back.
I assume you haven't hd any luck yet?

Dumping S620 rom, downgrade ?

Hello,
I really want to upgrate to WM6 as soon as possible. My phone operator offer me some services (emails, web, messenger) only if I use the prvided settings and applications.
If I upgrade to WM6 and things don't work, is going back to factory state as simple to flashing HTC WM5 + EXT ROM ?
Jean
I was wondering the same thing: I would like to upgrade to WM6, but not without having a backup of the WM5 rom supplied by the Wireless Network Operator.
I searched the forum on how to backup the rom, but was unable to find any usable information. Anybody would like to help us out?
you can't back it up in that way.
just download one of the wm5 roms posted here.
1. The original WM5 ROM for the s620 is available. It's out there online if you do a little searching. It used to be hosted here. I ran it on my Dash for months before going to WM6.
2. HTC is going to be releasing the WM6 update soon. This will be a MUCH better firmware than T-Mobile's. Also, if you wait for it, you won't have to worry about unlocking or anything.
-Mc
p.s. Smartphones don't have an Extended ROM.
alright thanks guys, I'll just wait till the official HTC release, I also found the wm5 roms, so I should be all set.
I was able to find an unbranded rom (not sure if it the latest... which is the latest French version ?) but if smart phones doesn't contain ext rom, where are the customizations ?
My french phone operator is Ten Mobile. I think it will be tricky to find that particular rom.
wm5 rom...
Can someone email me a link or email me the original wm5 rom for the htc s620 and not the t-mobile dash version?
TIA
s620 wm6 rom

ROM for imate JAQ

Hi,
Where i can find the latest ROM for my imate JAQ,
Pls don't ignore if u know something,
I m searching for this from a very long time.
Tanks in advance
I need it too..
Dude, I have been trying to find a ROM to reflash my JAQ for a while now too. I have three keys (Windows key, the : and the ?) and I figured a reflashing would fix it, but there are no official ROM releases on imate's website or ANYWHERE. Any info would be great.
I doubt you're going to find one unless you're willing to do the research and cook one up yourself. I-mate promised an upgrade to WM6 and even advertised it on some of their later packaging for the phone. So far, they have yet to deliver. As it's not an HTC phone, trying to get the ROMs here to work would be dangerous at best and pointless at worst.

QTEK 9000 WM6 Upgrade

Hi guys...
I like this forum, you can find so much stuff here, which leads me to my question for you, I have a QTEK 9000 (ripped a new and unused one from the internet) which I would like to upgrade to Windows Mobile 6.
I know where to find the ROM's and I read everything about how to upgrade, but, I am not so technical in the ROM know about, and before I mess up my beautiful QTEK.
I need some help with information about a good Windows Mobile 6 ROM i can use to upgrade, there are a lot of them, but I am unable to see which one is good and which is not.
I want to use a clean as possible ROM for that, non I-MATE or HTC stuff on it (if you get my drift), maybe I as to much, like i said before, I found the ROM's but can any one of you guys give me hand which one i can use, which is stable and works fine.
I don't use the QTEK as a phone, only as a mini-netbook with wifi :-D
Thanks to anyone responding to my thread here.
Regards, alexander-wolf
alexander-wolf, by stable I assume you mean that you don't want to see your phone freeze when doing important tasks/answering calls...etc? If this is the case, then I can only suggest to use the last WM5 rom from Swat4 found here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=409966
Or if you want WM6 rom, try Tomal's v8.2 and v7.7 - I've found them to be the most stable but at times, I had problems with phone freezing when new sms/mms/phone calls coming in.
I've switched back to Swat4's WM5 which has never let me down.
Thnx
@ Final5k
Thank you for your advice, I will give it a go (i allready made a copy of my original WM5 ROM just in case)...
Regards,
