Dear All,
I am not sure if this topic has been covered but is there a program to unlock the extended rom of my Imate PDA2k device? The 19.5k program which I remember was posted a while back does not unlock my extended rom. Has anyone found a solution?
Best regards,
Gilbert
Hi again,
Does anyone have aanswer to unlocking the extended rom of blue angel?
Best regards,
Gilbert
The attached zip holds the two files you need. Thanks to some members here at XDA-dev.com
Copy both to your Imate. Tap on the .cab file to install it. Then using a file explorer such as Resco, run unlockextrom with the arguement -unlock -xda3 Once that is done, do a soft reset and you should be go to go.
Dave
Nice.. Thank you!
One question from a wary user.... Will unlocking the rom cause problems with a rom upgrade down the road? That is, if IMate releases a new rom upgrade, will it upgrade fine? I would assume that if it upgrades fine, then I would need to unlock it again after the rom update?
Thanks!
I only unlock my ROM when I want to make a change. Otherwise, I leave it locked.

This also happens on the XDA II. I found that with dismissing the errors, eventually it says unlocked OK. And after a reset, I can see and write to the Extended ROM.
I agree with dcs, it should eventually work.
Unlocking the Extended ROM doesn't seem to have an effect on ROM updates that I have seen or heard of.

No!!
This tool gives you access to a hidden storage of the MDAIII.
But with the new /Storage you don't need to unlock the ROM unless you plan to modify the cab files used in hard resets, correct?

No, but, it does give you more usable storage, especially if you move the .cabs out of the folder till the next hard reset.

Rom version
Hi all,
i just bought my 9090 here in Portugal and it has
Rom version 1.12.00 WWE
Radio Prot 1.02.00
Protocol 1337.32
Extended Rom 1.12.120 WWE
i just saw the extended rom upgrade, but where can i find the Rom upgrade ?
anyone?
Remove Wifi logo
By the way, i just unlocked my extrom and found a "strange" .cab
BA_OEM_PA_Remove_Wifi_Logo.sa.cab
any comments on what this really is?
Hi guys,
Thanks for the tools but I couldn't unlock my Imate PDA2k. To unhide ExtROM but couldn't edit it is useless.
Could anybody give me a hint? Thanks many times!
Quote:[This tool gives you access to a hidden storage of the MDAIII]
How much MB of hidden storage we are talking about?
Thanks
Hi,
I want to know if:
1. Any are necessary, or useful to install.
2. If any of them slow the device down
Just got my MDA Pro on first charge now, and I am thinking of hard resetting and then doing a soft reset to bypass the customising, but don't know if I will miss out on anything worth having.
Thanks,
Joe

You can allways install the extrom later by downloaden the extended roms of the Imate and MDA-pro and choosing the cabfiles you want to install.
I did it that way.
Yes, it's simply knowing which files are which, eg: which one has MSN on it?
Is there any way of finding out which cab does what?
msn is nog in the extended rom
msn is nog in the extended rom because if you cancel the installation of the extended romfiles MSN is already installed

So, the ext rom on a MDA Pro actually removes MSN mobile? Is that what you are saying here?
No I'm saying that if you skip the install of the extended rom msn is already installed so its part of the normal rom update.
Thanks for the clarification. I am avoiding updates for a few days as I am in a trial period wiht the device and can't decide if 40mb/month is enough.
If I keep it, then the update seems to be the way forward.

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

You see, sometimes, with this ROM, some of my hardware buttons (including the D-pad) refuse to work. But, whenever it happens, a simple soft reset sorts it out. I suppose you already tried that, right?
The next step, prior to reflashing, would be to perform a hard reset. By doing a hard reset, you'll lose all your data, and the device will return to its factory defaults. If you don't want to loose your data and settings, back them up beforehand, to be restored afterwards. I know of two full backup applications: SpriteBackup (the one I use), and SpbBackup. Besides, there is a very useful (and free) application which backs all your PIM up: PPCPimBackUp. Just search for it here at xda-developers.
To perform it by software means, tap on Start > Settings > System tab > Master Clear. It can be done by a combination of hardware keys too: press and hold both the blue Fn and the green Call buttons, and, at the same time, press the reset pin with the stylus pen (some people here replace the reset pin by pressing the Power button at the same time as the other keys, and it seems to work). A white screen will come up asking for confirmation.
If you still happen to have problems after performing a hard reset, then try to reflash. One of the steps of the flashing process will require you to enter the ROM lock code. If you bought your device with its original box, the ROM lock code is printed on a stick in it. Otherwise, you'd have to contact i-mate's support. The links on the 1st post seem to be dead, but the mirror ones on the 2nd post are still working. Just download the zip file which has '9502' in its name, unpack it to anyware you want on your PC, connect your device to it through the USB cable, and make sure ActiveSync is running. Then, double-click on the unpacked EUM SFX exectutable file and follow the steps.
Good luck!

Dear Carlos,
Really appreciated for your kind guiding!
As what you guided, i am on the way to follow it, and some more stupid questions need to through more:
1. I am having SpriteBackup v6.0.2 Build 2065, is this the lasted ver up to now? And does it back up all PM registered as before?
2. What is Reflashing? of course i have Rom lockcode now
3. Run ActiveSync 4.5 from PC and also activate Sync function on 9502, right?
Thank you and best regards, waiting for you reply soon too!

1. Mine was 6.2.2 Build 2280. It was newer than yours, but, from your question, I've just gone to www.spritemobile.com and found version 6.5.4.16 there. I'm presently installing it,
2. Reflashing is the process of updating the ROM on your device. For all recent i-mate devices, the EUM SFX application running on your PC will require the ROM lock code to procceed.
3. You must have ActiveSync installed on your PC. Its mobile version will automatically run on your device when you connect it to your PC. They will comunicate with each other in order to synchronize your PIM, media and other files you'll specify the first time they are connected.
Cheers!

Hey there,
Just a quick question. I've been looking for the WM6.0 English since quite sometime now but no luck.
Could you guide me where I could find the WM6.0 for 9502? If there is a custom version also I don't mind trying it.
Also would like to know if there is a WM6.5 version released for imate Ultimate 9502?
Thanks.

The stock WM6.0 ROM was really buggy. No wonder why i-mate hasn't made it available at their website. However, if you really plan to downgrade your device, I don't see other option than learning italian beforehand.
Regarding WM6.5, I'd like to flash it too, but, unfortunately, I don't know any cooked WM6.5 buids for our devices.
Sorry for not being able to help you any further...

In theory, you should press and hold 3 keys: the blue Fn, the green Send, and the Power buttons at the same time. When you release them, a white screen should come up asking for confirmation. You should confirm with the left softkey.
Nevertheless, the last time I tried it didn't work for me as such. I had to replace the Power button by the reset pin, i.e. it worked only when I pressed and held both the blue Fn and the green Send buttons, and, at the same time, I pressed the reset pin with the stylus pen. At the moment I released the buttons, the screen confirmation came up.
Good luck!

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?

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!
