Hi guys, im new to the whole flashing scene and am not entirely sure whether it would be such a hot idea for me to do it. I know what i want, a touchflo rom with wm6. Problem being that i am in South Africa and im not sure if flashing etc will wipe/change my radio thus making it useless down here.
Can you guys advise me on whether i am likely to destroy my phone or not.
I have an imate kjam
ROM version: 2.16.9.1 WWE
ROM date: 2/6/06
Radio Version: 02.37.11
Protocol version: 4.1.13.19
ExtRom version: 2.16.9.111
IPL/SPL: 2.16.0001
I see alot of different service providers, does that effect the rom? I am on MTN. I am not sure if it is a G3 or G4 but from the tutorial i read it seems to be a G4 as the ipl has 0001 at the end.
It would help my step into the flashing arena greatly if you guys could show me the right direction to head in... unfortunately i cant make head or tail of the threads, as soon as i get inspired i notice that its actually 2 years old and then i start panicking about whether it will work on a south african pda
Please help an enthusiast...

Hi all,
got myself a 2s a couple of weeks ago, upgrading from a standard XDA. I'm mainly using it for contacts/calender syncing and TomTom, the wifi is handy too for msn when I'm in airports! When I had the XDA, I cooked a nice ROM from lumpistefan's site which was great and had loads of nice tools to mess around with. Is there anywhere where I can get a nice ROM for the 2s? Perhaps even the PDA2k one? Can that be put onto the 2s?
Anybody had any luck unlocking yet? I'm not desperate to do it as I have an O2 SIM, but it would be handy to pop my work SIM in when I need to.
I'd like to get the most out of the 2s, so any help greatly appreciated.

To be honest the answer to the above questions can be found in the 'Blue Angel Upgrading' section. Do a search on some keywords, nad you will find what ure after. PM me if you need any help on anything else. Yes you can unlock the extended rom, but no one has found away to remove the simlock as yet. :x
Okey dokes, I'll have a look around the other area. Many thanks for your reply.

hey guys
this is my first post here so i just wanna say how much information i have learned from this site and the forums. and i haved used the search function but after hours came up with nothing.
I have a MDA PRO Running the latest T-Mobile Rom, but its causing me so many problems.
It Takes forever to answer a call(around 10 secconds after ive pressed answer) it takes ages to open any applications. its just slow.
i was running the Imate rom before and was really happy with it. but there are some features that have come in the new t-moibile rom that i would like to keep such as the green battery icon and the "Soft Key" Application.
So i was thinking of only upgrading the extrom and the radio.
My current config is:
ROM VER : 1.30.114 WWE
Rom Date: 04/13/06
Radio : 1.10.03
Protocol Ver: 42.44.p8
EXT ROM VER : 1.30.232 WWE
I was looking to upgrade to either the QTEK or the IMATE rom b ut i wanted to know if ill still have the green abttery indicator and "soft Key" application as im not sure if they come with the rom or the OS. if not can anyone tell me where i can get them from plz.
Also alot of ppl are saying that radio 1.09 is the most stable, can anyone confirm this please.
Cheers guys
You will not get those features with the currently available Qtek or i-mate WWE.
I do however, have a suspicion (my spidey sense is tingling) that there will be new ROMs from within the next month and a half.
In the meantime, feel free to cook up your own. :lol:

Greetings! I am new here and I recently bought an xda exec here in china. Problem is, the exec was loaded with a chinese rom because it was intended for chinese users so i asked the seller to make it in english. It seemed they had a problem with changing the rom, Im not really sure coz i cant understand half of what theyre saying. After a long wait, I was given an exec with a dopod rom.
Now having a different rom from the supposed manufacturer's one, it seems my unit has a few errors, for example im frequently having a sddaemon (which i found out has something to do with the contacts list) and sddialer (which i think has something to do with voice dialing) errors. Another thing I have a problem with is, the boot screen, since it was loaded with a dopod rom, it says "dopod enjoy mobility" at the boot screen. I feel kinda uneasy with it, simply put, i dont like it.
Also, I think my problems would be solved by flashing a different rom, but im not sure what to use tho. Actually, I want to use a 'proper' o2 rom because i like to have the boot screen back to o2. Yet, it seems everyone is suggesting the JasJar rom, do you think i should use the JasJar rom? If so, How can i change the boot screen to the o2 one?
For anyone who can help, Advice on how to address my problems is very much appreciated. I tried searching the forums but i cant seem to get how the search function working. I humbly ask guidance and advice to my problems and a proper redirection is highly appreciated. thanks in advance!

Also, I'm also considering upgrading to WM6. Is it advisable to upgrade to WM6?
WM6 has a better looking than WM5, and most of the software are newer.
If you want stable, you can use WM5, most of the new ROM are all for the WM6, I am also a user in China, I am now using WM6 with a chinese language supporting package.
How unstable is wm6? Does wm6 have features or anything to offset the instability?
@XingYun: are you using an english rom with chinese text support or is your rom purely chinese? Im thinking of copying your setup, would you advise it?
BTW, my Device information says the ff:
ROM version: 1.30.111 WWE
ROM date: 04/06/06
Radio Version: 1.04.02
Protocol Version: 42.37.P8
ExtROM version: 1.13.188 WWE
Any more help and advice is very welcome
Later builds of WM6 for Universal isn't really unstable. It's actually better. There's only one problem. NO VIDEO CALL.
You can get the latest WM5 ROM here:

Use the Search facility... It really helps.
Ok, ive decided to upgrade to wm6. Since I want to have an o2 boot screen, should i use the o2 rom from the jwright link? Will it be compatible with my unit even tho I am running a dopod rom? All I need to do is follow the directions from the wiki :

Am I correct? Sorry for sounding like a n00b, but I'm quite scared of making a mistake, so I want to be extra sure and extra careful. Advice and help is appreciated. thx.
I am using a English ROM with Chinese language support, and YouYuan text format, my machine infomation is like this:

Radio version:1.15.00
This is the ROM I am using:

Finally upgraded with Jwright wm6 rom, works fine now, thx everyone.
Hi, HProvider
Could you tell me where did you find the chinese language support package?
Mine does not work well with the Jwright ROM.
Thanks!
T-Mobile UK Vario II HERM300
IPL - 1.04
SPL-2.10.Olipro
Rom Version: Black Satin
Rom Date: 07/10/07
Radio Version: 1.41.00.10
Protocol Version: 32.74.7020.18H
I have searched and as you can probably imagine any people have done neraly the same thing, but i cant seem to find one exactly the same.
I am in need to revert back to the original WM5, but to keep the phone unlocked with SPL 2.10.Olipro. I used the Hermunlocker.
Beleive it or not i have a backup rom.
Is there anyone that could help me step by step on what i need to load into the device and in what order.
My need to do this is to sell on and move onto the next Vario.
I see there being a problem if i sell it on, in the way that someone will probably get confused without the original O/S on.
Any help is very much appreciated.
Sorry if i have repeated myself over another post, but im being honest as i have been looking from work and home today.
Again thanks in advance.
In my current position can i install rom
RUU_Hermes_TMO_UK_3.60.110.4_6275_1.50.00.00_108_Ship.exe
Thanks again
If you've got the original ROM or a provider supplied upgrade then rolling back to that should not be a problem. Have a look at MrVanx's link in my Signature.
erm, this probalby isnt the place for this
you didn't hear from me, but there is an official t-mobile wm6 for hermes on the t-mobile.co.uk website.
a few small issues with it, windows live is not supported neither is blackberry connect. oter than that it seems ok.
you may need to change your voicemail number from +44 to 0044 prefix
it may not be up there for long tho
Ok, so I bought a Diamond yesterday, the P3700. Bought in Norway for £ 450, but the guy on the sales desk kinda messed up and gave me £ 210 discount
Anyway, I'm hoping to get an English language version of the ROM, but after downloading one I get the ERROR message that I've noticed a few other ppl have had that says something about the wrong vendor ID. The phone isn't locked and has the following details;
ROM-version: 1.37.409.3 NOR
ROM-date: 19th June 2008.
Radio Version: 1.00.25.03
Protocol Version: 52.26a.25.09H
Anyone any ideas? I would really appreciate any help on the matter.
Try this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=409425 to see if that helps. And www.modmydiamond.info by racerx is a great source of information.
Well, I'm trying to fix this Diamond, but it doesn't want to play ball. Is my version too new? The phone is brand new, and I was wondering if there was a thread that has a how to for dummies like me for the P3700 Diamond. Like which Hard SPL do I need and which ROM? I'm guessing a WWE ROM is the one for an English version. To be honest all the version numbers are a bit confusing. I thought that I was quite good with computers etc, but this flashing etc. has me dumbfounded. You guys (programmers) must be geniuses!
Your ROM version is certainly NOT too new. If you follow the instructions in the thread that I mentioned in the previous post, you should not have any problems. And check out www.modmydiamond.info for all the info on the HARD-SPLs. And you should flash a 1.93 ROM instead of 1.37 as it is much fater and more stable. I prefer Dutty's V1.4 (or soon to be released V1.5). And I use Developer version (unsigned) Hard-SPL. You should also flash the 1.00.25.05 radio, and it seems to be more reliable and produce better reception.
Well, I just upgraded my phone to 1.93.409.1 NOR and 1.00.25.05 Radio. It was released last week by HTC. But, I'd still like to have an English version. It's late here 02:00, so I'm off to catch some zzz's. Many thanks for your help! I'll see if I can sort out the Hard SPL and the Dutty v1.5 fix later.
