Thank you so much for the update, I have been looking at the Rogers website a while now looking for it.
Just completed the update. Went from HTC WM6 to this one. This version seems to have a lot more free memory and includes office mobile in the rom.
I am about to try switching from the HTC Generic WM6 ROM to the Rogers ROM as well hopefully it will fix the name display issue for me.
Woooo...maybe I should flash the "Offical" version from Rogers
Damn and I spent so much time flashing the HTC rom... any thoughts so far from this rom?

Just finished the upgrade from the Generic HTC WM6 ROM to the Rogers WM6 ROM. I have not yet bogged it down with all of my 3rd party apps but my general impression is that it seems much faster and responsive. I will update after all of my apps are re-loaded.
Definitely much faster and more memory available then the generic HTC ROM. My one wish is that I could have the Generic Comm Manager background back. The Rogers one is an ugly Blue with Yellow and Red Highlighting.
Hmm, this only work with Rogers?
Can someone post the Radio Version of this Rogers' WM6 update. TIA!

Note that when you upgrade to the Rogers rom the SDA ApplicationUnlock isn't working ! When you reinstall the original software you can unlock your phone again.
I flash this ROM
but I cannot change the register key. when I use the resco to edit the key, it cannot be saved. is it locked by the ROM?

You can try using SDA ApplicationUnlock by installing this Cab file from Rogers. After installing the Cab file run the app unlocker and reboot your phone. Your phone should now be fully application unlocked

I definately prefer the Rogers WM6 ROM to the Generic HTC WM6 ROM. IT is much faster and more responsive plus it has more memory available. The only thing I don't like is the rogers branded startup and shutdown other than that this ROM seems much less bloated.
The Rogers WM6 does perform much better. IE doesn't use/leak as much memory. Does anybody know how to make a custom CAB file with registry settings and other preferences? I enjoy flashing a new OS on my phone daily, but it's the post-configuration stuff that's slowing me down.

Hi,
I have got confused with the various bricked posts, misnamed WWE update posts etc.
What I would like to know is the following:
1. Does the imate update (english) work on the MDA Pro?
2. Does anyone have the original T-Mobile version for returning it to the release T-mob version?
3. Does doing an upgrade invalidate my warranty with T-Mob?
My issue with current roms is that the device crashes at least once a day, and I am getting fed up with reboots.
Thanks,
Joe
It works fine with the MDA Pro, I have mine running the JASJAR Rom.
ftp://xda:[email protected]/Uploads/MDA_PRO_JASJAR_ROM_UPGRADE_WWE_11353_137_10301.zip
Download that, it has the No Device ID exe.
hi, did the ROM change speed up your MDA pro in any way? also does the video calling feature still work.
This really interests me too.. Any answers out there please?
P :?:
Mine does seem a little quicker, especially after overwriting the iMate supplied .tsk files for the homescreens.
WiFi a *bit* more stable, but not perfect.
So... If I download that file, unpack it onto my UK T-Mobile MDA PRO and run it, I will have the latest software on the MDA PRO?
Are there any 'issues'?
Will I lose any data\ programs\settings etc.?

You run the install from a PC, having put the phone into "bootloader" mode. As far as I know, its a newer ROM version than is supplied with the MDA Pro, and also doesn't contain the T Mobile customisation. It DOES include MSN and Skype as standard, as well as a couple of other bits.
It will totally wipe your phone / settings, but if you select T Mobile UK after you install the new ROM, most of the T Mobile settings are reconfigured for you. You just have to do the 3G one yourself, but the details are in another thread (possibly in the main Universal area of this forum).
Imate produce regular ROM upgrades for their other phones, so it is likely they'll release a new ROM before Orange / O2 / T Mobile manage it.

Just got the MDA pro. How do i upgrade the Rom? I dun really understand how to go to the registry as well? Any help?? Really appreciate it. Thanks.
The link for the update i mate jasjar rom is not working??
Someone moved it :roll:
ftp://xda:[email protected]_JASJAR_ROM_UPGRADE_WWE_11353_137_10301.zip
Newbie in need of help.
Thanks for the ftp link. Regarding about getting into the registry? How do i do that? And how do i update the rom.
I got some problem with my mda pro sync with my laptop?
It say cant detect the device. I cant install the driver either. Anyone have the same problem with the mda pro or only me?
Do anybody know how can i unlock the mda pro?
Thanks.
Reply really appreciated.
unlocking mda pro
Hi, I think the only way to unlovk the MDA at present is via the subsidy code from T Mobile. In the UK you can only do this after you have completed a month on contract and t mobile will charge you 15 pounds for the priviledge. On 02 the devices come unlocked for any network.
with ref to the ROM update to WWE jasjar, this is an absolute must for ALL t mobile users. I can confirm things are stable all round, but don't expect you can get away from those periodic resets - M$ seem to have built in this feature in all pocket PC OS ! - yes I am calling this a feature of the OS now.
Look around on the forums here on how to flash there are some very good posts about.
Remember, most important if you want stability only install essential software.

Mda pro usb activesync problem
Hi thank for the reply. You mean i should change it to the jasjar rom which is the link above? I am new to pda phones and need some help.
I cant connect my device to my laptop using usb. It say device not detected.
I install the software and it should work rite. Is there something i didnt do? I read the manual saying install the software then have sync relationship with the pc and device. How do i sync the relationship? Do i just plug in the usb to my laptop then it will automatically detect my mda pro?
Help. Thanks.

I put this on the BA upload FTP today, MDA could you have a look at it?
Here is what came in the description
Instructions for upgrading your ROM
to WM 5 Build 14343
At this point, there is 1 BlueAngel WM5 English Roms available: Version
5.1.1700 Build 14343
This is a BA GSM rom and will only work on PH20B / PH20B1 devices.
And it cant be made, fixed, edited or reworked to work on any other device
You need Windows XP and SP2 to make ActiveSync 4 work! SP2 is available free
of charge at any PC World computer superstore or direct from Microsoft.com
Flashing your device can turn it into a Paper Weight, this is your own risk
Flashing a Rom which is not from your carrier will void the warranty
The Partion Tool resets your Exteneded rom Password and you Will not be able to
lock you EXT Rom if you revert back to CE2003
I have not tried it out yet. The way I put it in there is in sort of a package form, the file rarsave has the original rar files in it and the folders are the unpacked versions.
Any comments or results would be grately apreciated.
Ok, I upgraded to this ROM, from what I can tell it is the most straight up almost factory version of WM5 I have seen, It is fast and solid.
The only thing missing is the Blackberry software, Enterprise or web. If anyone knows where to get that I would be a happy camper. Can you get this software in a CAB form?
When you click on IE for the first time it even says OEM version!!!
No branding at all.
are you sure this isn't the one which we have tried before?
Where did you get this rom ?
I think it is the first WM5 rom for BA, PDA2k_2k5.rar but I will see after reflash
There is no point to upgade to this rom i am right and this is the first one the same as this one
There are far better roms in the ftp than this one

There is no branding in every WM5 rom fo BA, because it is not distributed by an operator

even for my 2003SE, it doesn't have any branding because I bypass auto config ... so don't think it is such a big discovery.

Has anyone with this unit on Rogers been able to apply new themes? I've tried a few, but can't get them to work.
Now it is possible i'm just doing this wrong, and if so, does anyone have a site with some themes they know will work?

I have the s621. I'm not sure about unlocking it. I'd like to avoid brickin' it.
copy this file to your phone, and then run it - got this from their website.
That link you posted is to install Root Certificates for self signed or wildcard Security Certs. I work for Rogers and have extensive knowledge of this device, and the problem is that Rogers application locks this device. The only way i could get around this stuff, in order to edit the registry, install unsigned applications (themes included) was to install the T-Mo release of WM6.
Uhm, I don't think that's true. I installed this cab, and used the SDA unlocker, and I can edit the registry, install software, change themes, etc. I don't have the tmobile ROM.

Same here. I just got a Rogers s621 and have been installing everything with no locking issues whatsoever. So Rogers did not application lock the device they sent me.
can anyone with the Rogers HTC s621 post the ROM. I'm trying to enable Name Display feature to work with all cooked roms.
My S621 seemed to have come application unlocked..
I got it just the other day, and installed Facade, and a few other programs.
But its weird, it seems like it was application unlocked for the first...5 programs or something
Got to PocketNester and Mobile Office and it gave me the insufficient permissions error.
I grabbed the SP_AllowCertificateInstall.cab file from this thread, ran it and was able to install Nester and MOffice.
I CID unlocked my T-Mobile Dash I got, Ran the rogers WM6 rom and installed fine.
I coudlent install any applications though and came across this post. Ran the Rogers Cert cab file and then sureal unlocker which auto edits the registry and installing applications perfectly.
This is a awsome find.
Name Display on an unlocked TyTN with Rogers...
. .
Guys,
I need your advise...
I got an unlocked TyTN ROM:3.54.255.3 and Radio: 1.48.00.10 (Non-Rogers); I could not get the Name Display to work on Rogers.
I came accross this thread and I'm wondering what to do?
I'm wondering is there like a cab file that we can run to set the registry for a TyTN?
Can anyone post the link to Rogers WM6 ROM for TyTN?
Thanks

imate site make many step to take it !
now i uploaded to mediafire , anyone get 8150 and lockcode from the box can upgrade OS without register
http://www.mediafire.com/?zdxtwnzyv2g
hope some one find the way to upgrade imate os over NBF and SD card because when i put reset while hold a softkey it said SD and MMC mode ==> we have a chance to do it
sorry ! wrong file ! i fix it now pls wait 30m
http://www.mediafire.com/?wmtdzhzn20m
done....
ive already DL from imate which required registering...indeed it was a long process...this is what ive noticed with the new official rom:
1. a little faster than the wm6
2. they changed power settings, it now indicates how many percentage left..
3. imate also changed the mms manager...and it sucks! ive tested it and as per preference, the Arcsoft mms is much better than the new one in wm 6.1..(mms wm6- separates SMS from MMS, indicates how many percentage left in receiving/sending multimedia messages////mms wm6.1- integrates SMS and MMS in one profile, does not show percentage/progress as to receiving and/or sending MMS)
4. added Task Manager
5. SMS threading Enabled
so far, thats what ive noticed...
ADVICE: since this is not a clean rom, and thus all of what imate want to add is pre-installed, just manage your Windows/Starup folder and remove unnecessary start files that consume PPC memory..add your favorite tools such as QuickMenu(to make x, and ok botton as CLOSE/END/Terminate) and Advance Config Tools for improvement on POWER, PERFORMACE, AND STABILITY...
is this ROM support SDHC?
sorry,can't download

hello,
there is no way to perform any ROM up/ downgrade with your I-mate device if you don't hand the Rom lockcode
The only thing you can do to solve this issue is to look back for the pre-owner of the device, ask for box or quick user guiding book
Good luck!

ms release it officially then the manufacturers then roll it out for their devices. htc is just one manufacturer of wm devices and you also get network branded devices i.e tmobile mda vario 5. in case of a network branded device you will need to wait for them to provide an update if they do it at all.
then there is xda where none of that matters! as soon as MS release officially there will be all the variants of it on here! once hard spl is out for this device mate watch out
as a new what is this hdspl i keep reading about
SPL's including HardSPL is explained here:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=SPL%20Questions%3F
The official ROM from HTC will be posted on their web site (reasonably soon after the release from MS):
http://www.htc.com
You'll find it under the Support (tab) on the web site. Just select the country/region of your phone (at the top right of the HTC's site) and select the phone.
The ROM update comes as a windows installer - just follow the instructions.
This is safer that blasting on custom ROMs for the squeamish like me

In case you mean "HSDPA" that is a cellular network connection that allows you to do voice and data at the same time. (i.e. surf the internet or send MMS while talking on the phone).
If you mean Hard SPL, read the link provided above.
when will ROM with wm6.5 will come out here?
I'm considering buying a new TP2 (I have a TP with wm6.5) but I want to change when wm6.5 is available for TP2.
I guess I won't be used to WM6.1 anymore... lol
