To all participants in these forums:
I want convey a HUGE THANK-YOU to all of the contributers to these forums.
A couple of months ago I decided it was time to replace my IPAQ 4150 for something with a bit more functionality. As I was researching what my next device would be, I stumbled across xda-developers.com and my decision was made. I decided on the i-mate pda2k specifically becuase all of the hard work done by the people here meant that I would no longer have to wait for the vendor to issue upgrades and I could customize my device to MY requirements!
After having read most of the Blue Angel Upgrading threads, and the wiki (about 20 times) I've managed to perform a number of upgrades and cook a half-decent extended rom. (naturally I screwed it up a couple of times, and had a brick for about a week but I managed to recover after having read many of the "help-me" threads)
A special thanks to MDAIIIUser, TheLastOne, HappyGoat and a few others (you know who you are) for contributing so much of their time hacking and converting roms, troubleshooting extended rom issues and also for being so incredibly patient and helpful when answering questions from newbie's like myself.
I look forward to being a contributer to this community and I hope that I can bring 1/10th of the value to the forum that many of you bring every day.
So, once again - Thank-you to all!
.... and you didn't have to ask one question????
Fortunately, the mistakes I made were similar to those made by many before me. Most of the information I needed to repair the brick I had created was available in the threads.
Now I see that i-mate has released the 1.40 rom so I hope all of my effort and frustration wasn't for nothing!

Can you point out where, or the link to, the 1.40 rom is???
Thanks,
Tom
I think I saw someone say they were uploading it to the ftp site.
Try here.
ftp://ftp.xda-developers.com/Uploads/Blueangel/
Please let me know how it works out. I'm curious to see what's in the extended rom.
you know, I am sorry to hijack the thread somewhat, but I need to say thanks also, I did ask one question, but "search" led me to may answers, I have given a few things back to this site, but I do plan to add more, so... Thanks everyone...
You are all very welcome...I do this as a hobby, and appreciate the positive feedback..!
Hey folks, great forum. I have searched the forum to no avail
Could someone please help me with the following PDA - it's a cotel Windows W1 PDA running WM5, probably unheard of by most. I bought it in Dubai recently. Is there anyway I can upgrade it to WM6, if so which rom & software should I use. All i know is its running on OMAP730/ARM926T chip. I have no idea of its ipl/spl version or if its G3 or G4, cannot find anything out about it. The following link might give you a little more insight, its the very top left one.

I really hope someone can help me out here, thank you much.
**BUMP**
No idea's anyone??
I'd like to know as well. The only thing I was able to figure out is that it runs on a custom WM5 for PocketPC ROM.

good bet to assume no one has played with this phone yet? Yes?
As I can see, there are quite a number of MWg Zinc II users over here and wish to run a cooked ROM on it. But do not know how to do so( including me). We need the help of ROM masters to help us in this. Let's do a vote. If most of us wants a cooked ROM for out MWg Zinc II, we can appeal for help from ROM masters. Let's make a vote.
help us please!
That's not going to happen here!
The Zinc II is not made by HTC, so, XDA DEV is just the wrong place for that! Trying to force a chef to 'get involved' with the Zinc II at XDA via poll won't change the rules but most likely this thread will be closed by a moderator soon ... !

i hope the rom masters are generous enough and willing to take the challenge...and not as negative as junner2003...no offense bro, but unfortunately for us LAY people, we are depending on the skills of the experts...i even got the cooked rom for my original zinc at this forum (Zinc / Mars II, by asus and not by HTC-even though many said that no one here at xda-dev would) , thanks to the many generous and talented guys here...
i agree with u, i think moderator can understand
Yah. I'm sure the moderators will be understanding. ROM masters, we really need your help. We are not forcing you, if you are unable to give us a hand due to some reasons, do let us here know. We won't blame you at all. We just want to have an answer towards our request.

It has nothing to do with me 'being negative'! That are forum rules which I did not set up myself but everyone agreed to when signing up for this forum.

thanx for ur notice
zinc ii rock solid ROM's
count me in. sun_dream perhaps? he's the best cooker!
So far, we are gathering votes slow and steady. We are not asking for a section for MWg. We just would like someone to lend us a helping hand in cooking a ROM.
I don't think anyone else is going to help...but we can collectively try to do this ourselves. I have dumped the imgfs but I cannot find out to reconstruct the directory structure. If anyone wants to know how to dump the ROM I can tell you how I did it

I'm not a technical person. I know nothing about cooking a ROM.
what are you guys talking about didnt you guys do a search, i dont have a zinc but i saw a few roms here and there, you can ask the people who made those to help you out.
and let me get this straight, the zinc is not by htc...well then who made it? i'd like to know cos some one is trying to sell me a used zinc, is it any good.
and i always say the more the merrier so i would vote for zinc development here, i don't see why we shouldn't allow allow all windows mobile devices to be supported here as long as the forums are maintained there shouldn't be any chaos.
I m using a zinc and recently flashed it to 6.1 ported by cruzz. I can say its darn good.

That's good. I used to own a O2 XDA Zinc. I ported it with cruzz's ROM and I find it very good too! But I changed to MWg Zinc II. Currently there's no way to cooked ROM for MWg Zinc II.

if u got the imgfs rom well it is a good start .... but then u have to find the way to flash back the rom & how to recompile it to the finish rom like .xxx (old zinc .abi)
what for cook since its already 6.1, dun think of 6.5 now as its not stable still
maybe you users can join with Eten M810 as its the same project from Arima
I have the Eten m800 and a Zinc ii, Plenty of roms available for the M800, none for the Zinc II
How can we get a cooked ROM for Zinc II?
Just another cat hoping we can get a 6.1 or 6.5 cooked ROM for the Zinc II. I hope the Chefs (Master Cookers) know how much they help us out here? We truly appreciate and donate as much as possible. Thank you.
i am a g1 user and i love it but i'm getting divorced and looking for a change. the touch pro 2 looks great minus it being a windows phone. i just want to see if anyone else can tell me whether its a good phone or not. and what are the odds of someone cooking android for it. any input would be appreciated. thanks
On this section almost everybody will tell you it is one of the best devices this days!
Go for it!
Search and read on this section and you´ll find your answers
sweet thanks if you everyone here likes it maybe i will
Hello, I've had my Samsung blackjack just sitting here due to the WM6 upgrade.
After upgraded to WM6 no more signal was received, and I want to downgrade because WM5 was faster.
Please and thank you, Ross
And also, if there is a WM6.5 upgrade then please let me know :]
Greatly appreciated.
