Probably silly question... - JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General

installing an iMate ROM in my T Mobile MDA Pro isn't going to network unlock it, is it?

I have an O2 XDA Pro Version and would love to get updated ROMs.
But can`t sign-up to the Club iMate website with my IMEI details.
Seems to know that this isn`t an iMate model

If you look around this forum, you'll see people have kindly posted links to the various ROMS available. I installed the iMate WWE ROM yesterday - but don't happen to have another SIM to test it with.
I doubt it DOES remove the device's SIM lock though.

HI,
your guess is right .. software update does not remove the netlock.
- Superbowl

Did this myself and tried my old PAYG Orange sim in the MDA Pro. No joy I'm afraid - prompts for unlock code.

Check my post here. My guess is your previous upgrade set your operator in the device to a non-O2 value.
Yup
Followed your sintructions and update in progress, we'll see..
i used this and it let me update

First of all you would get a error code 101, a country error code.
If you get past that. All your gprs/mms settings wil be set for O2, your startup screen and today screen will change to O2.
your OS will be 1.72 and your radio will be 1.17. and you'll get those apps that o2 has put in this update.
I would recommend to take another 1.72 / 1.17 update with your existing extended ROM or an extended rom from Orange. Extract the extended rom from this O2 update and use whatever CAB you want to make your own extended rom.
For manipulating extended rom do a search here, also check for ER2003EDIT.

O2 has 1.11.170 available for downlod

Hi All,
Just to let you all know that O2 have the upgraded ROM (ver 1.11.170)with BB and radio 1.04 available now on their website.
See my Hmmmmm post above. I didn't spot this thread before I posted.
Hi!
I just went to O2 site but can not to see the new ROM for OIIi. Only v1.11.69
Snap. O2 IIi Downloads page.
If you know different, linkage please.
O2 have withdrawn the 170 rom as it had issues!!! (like the others don't!!) That is why it is not there any more. :lol:

			
				
on O2 site i found just 1.11.169
It was withdrawn because it was crap. Blackberry didn't work.
i just downloaded v 1.11.169 , hope this is the latest
I downloaded it one month and a half ago and i don't see the difference between v.1.11.169 and v 1.11.170 except Backberry v.2.0. If yours is good,I think you enjoy it.That's the best way.
i see the radio rom is still 1.00

just a quick question, does anyone ever risked or ever brick their PDA in trying to upgrade the PDA using the ROM ver 171 ?
is it safe to do upgrade ROM even via the website ?
I'm worried if it would broke down my PDA. :-(
here's what I've found in the website:
The latest XDA IIi System Software is available for you to download. New and changed in this version of software, v1.11.171 are:
* Updated BlackBerry Connect
* Improved Bluetooth Connectivity
Please click here to continue
This software is for Xda IIi in UK and Ireland.

Another question - on next page O2 asks for IMEI and phone number. Somehow I can find IMEI on my device but how can I obtain valid UK O2 tel. No??? It was bought on ebay... So is there any links where i can download this latest ROM ver. without tel number? Thanks.
I downloaded the rom with my imei and a romanian cell phone number from the official site. Didn't updated it yet...
There is now a v 1.11.171 available at the O2 website.
my emei doesn't work, can anyone give me a working link to the 171?
thank you.

Is it XDA neo or Dopod????

Hey guys
I picked up XDA Neo without thinking and cheking properly and i have adoubt that the device is not what the box says the bos says O2 neo and device dosen't say anything but O2 XDA and when I boot it, it says
HTC innovation
and next screen
IPL 2.15.0001
SPL 2.15.0001
GSM 02.19.21
OS 2.15.13.27
Dopod
Enjoy Mobility
I'm confused what it is???
I searched on net and read some where that XDA neo is for German market and for English Rom you update it with latest Rom for JAMin since they both have similar specs!
Now my question to gurus is whether is should try it or not?
If I loose it will anyone here be able to tell me how revive it?
I already paid 1200 for re-image once don’t want to pay again but that crash was due to some other software I was trying to install on the device.
Last but not the least where can i find LATEST ROM IMAGE FOR JAMin????
I will try and post the results here & I have no fear of loosing warranty since bought it from the gray market.
Please Advice.
Regards
Sainib
OK
so far I could find out that the ROM image that I'm using on my phone is "RUU_Prophet_2151327_21513121_021921_DOP_ASIA_WWE_Ship"
so can anyone suggest which version os imate JAMin rom will work on it?? and where I can find it?
Thanks in advance!
Regards
Sainib
It's simple.
Dopod 818pro, XDA Neo, Qtek s200, i-mate Jamin, Orange SPV M600 are all the exact same device manufactured by HTC under the name Prophet.
Obviously the device you have already had a ROM change.
Now first thing I recommend you do is make sure that the device you are holding looks like one of the names I listed above.
Any version of the Jamin ROM will do but you probably want the latest, with all the updates.
Then, you can go to www.clubimate.com and download the latest WWE (World Wide English) ROM from there. The only problem might be that you need to register your IMEI on the site to get access to the download area. I am not sure if they will except a device that wasn't originally branded i-mate.
Alternatively try looking on this site ftp (user xda, password xda all small letters).
One last thing. Search this forum. I read that some people think Dopod ROM is better than i-mate and some viceversa, but they all have their pluses and minuses.

Ah my mistake, the site is www.clubimate.com I fixed the message now. Anyway the ROM there is one of those you found, don't remember exactly which one so I guess it is useless to you.
The trouble is Dopod ROM version is higher then i-mate so the installer thinks you are trying to downgrade. I think there is a version of the updater on the FTP that will solve this but I am not sure.
At the top of the site there is a link to the WiKi, check there on how to downgrade.
As for FTP, I meant this site:
ftp://xda:[email protected]
Check out the Prophet directory.

3. I saw on the internet that someone succeed in installing a plugin simulating the Touchflo, as on HTC touch (!!!), where could i find it?

Hi PMUSA
all the answer to your questions are in the forums.
Just search the topics.
You need USPL to load a rom from here that is not designed firstly for your phone..
ok magpie2000K, thx, i already viewed this topic about USPL:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=311403
but nothing about SIM unlocking
moreover, i would like to know where i could find a WM6 for my SPV M650. I have the Shap's HTC Tytn ROM on my external hard disk drive, will it also work for the M650????
because in the topic it says:
"This means you can flash ANY ROM to your Artemis after flashing USPL on it"
thx for your precisions
pmusa
well that's because no one has been able to come up with a way to unlock it yet (atleast none for free). you'll find two ways to sim unlock your phone here, if you'll just browse through the forums in artemis upgrading topic. but you'll have to pay for it via paypal.
about the wm6 rom, you can find one in the topic artemis mobile 6. there's a thread there that's especially started for french spv m650 users. sorry i can't post the links though, but you'll find them easily enough.
pmusa
here is the link for the sim unlocking (not for free)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=314154
and for wm6 for spv
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=313713
i also have spv m650 but i couldn't get my gps to work with wm6, eventually i returned it to original spv orange rom.
i hope yours will be okay.
thx redski.
i'm installing, i'll leave a feedback.
so, currently, there isn't any other way to SIM unlock the SPV M650?
the only one is imei-check? 30€, omg...
maybe HERMES sim unlocker v3 should work, i'll pray and try. ^^

please let me know if it does, and also if your gps works after upgrading to wm6.

so, i upgraded to WM6 using Tom's BnB ROM, because i heared it supports GPS on SPV M650, but... i forgot to test it! (lol :S) I was'nt satisfied because it was too skinned, virtualkeyboard skinned too and QWERTY, so i "uninstalled" it and moved on Official HTC's ROM for the P3300. But the GPS currently doesn't work on HTC rom.
So now i am going to download Orange's latest ROM and flash it, i will also apply htc_default.tsk theme because Orange's theme sucks
...
Is someone working on how to unlock the Artemis with a software like lokiwiz????
...Once upon a time....

...Pof, Perjan and many other good men were working on a software to SIM unlock...perhaps possible CID Unlock the ARTEMIS, but other demands in life - exams, work around and very many things made the effort die a natural death....
I can only advise you not to wait up for it.
Go the previous ways advised - I would hassle tupisdin, if I wasn't given a free code to SIM Unlock mine - For SIM Unlock
...and the USPL developed by pof empowers me to flash..so I don't need to give imei-check.co.uk any more money.
sorry, i did'nt understand. do you mean that i should contact tupisdin so that he could give me a free simunlock code?
or do you mean that USPL also simunlock the artemis?

There is no free simunlocker for the Artemis. The Lokiwiz thingy does not work on this model. The USPL only cid-unlocks your device temporarily so that you are able to flash another ROM, but it does not unlock the sim.
ok now it's clear.
30€ is too expensive (imei-check)
who is tupisdin and how much a simunlocking costs?
thx

You need active sync from microsoft to sync with pc, or you can just plug it in with usb and use it as a removable drive, follow the tutorial on the rom section to debrand and unlock your o2 HD2 by upgrading to the new 1.48 roms...
thanks richie,
i will download active sync now, but i have a question,
im tryng to find the rom section but i have found quite a few posts, im really confused, what is SPL??
do i just install 1.48 and that should debrand and unlock my device??
and what is goldcard???
im coming from an n97, and have been using symbian for over 5 years, so i apologize in advance
o2 will now let you unlock it,maybe for free...more info on that here:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=5054228&postcount=2
The latest 1.48 ROM cannot be loaded without using goldcard, on an O2 HD2.
For Windows Vista and 7, you need Windows Mobile Device Center (activesync renamed).
It on the windows mobile site to download.

Follow this thread to the letter and you won`t go wrong....
Useful info!
Chaps,
Once this has the 1.48 installed on it will it then be able to be upgraded with ROM's from the HTC site in future without the use of a GoldCard?
Or will it need to be network unlocked too?
Is this GoldCard business needed because the O2 HD2 is network locked?

For now you will need to use the goldcard method for installing the roms from HTC as they have not yet gone official..I can`t see it affecting future upgrades from the HTC site but my experience tells me that when ever i`ve had an O2 branded HTC device the HTC website won`t allow downloads from there site when you have to enter your serial number. You have to wait for O2 to release there own version of the update which NEVER happens....
Hence why i ended up at this brilliant site.
thanks guys, im going to follow the goldcard method,
will there be such another method without goldcard in the near future? im not even sure what goldcard is to be honest
will debranding to 1.48 unlock the phone as well?? or not ??
i have submitted the unlock phone request form on o2's website but am just wondering if the new rom will unlock the phone?

Thanks Richie, that's a very comprehensive answer!
Hey, I've got an O2 branded phone which was unlocked using the unlocking website (€22 it cost). Using a 3 UK sim and I'm wanting to get rid of O2's branding.
I've downloaded "RUU_Leo_HTC_WWE_1.48.405.2_Radio_Signed_15.28.50.07U_2.05.51.05_2_Ship.exe"
My question is will this ROM remove the branding and do I need to use the goldcard with this or is this a shipped rom (that I can just update using the exe)?
Many thanks,
Ross.

Okay cool, card prepared and rom loaded on.
Is this the best rom to use at this moment? Just waiting for the battery to charge > 80%
Branding is cosmetic, I can live with that. Network locking prevents the use of another network's SIM cards and is the real problem. I recently bought an O2 branded HD2 on ebay, and I am not an O2 subscriber. Whilst I have read on other threads that O2 now offer unlock codes for free, it seems unlikely that they will do this for a non-subscriber. So I have been trying the commercial unlockers, of which there are many. Of the four tried so far, all have been unable to calculate an unlock code for my EMEI no. To be fair, three of them immediately refunded what I had paid them. So now I am stuck with O2. I would like to understand this situation better. Is my phone just too new, in which case I just need to be patient? Is it something worse? Any comment would be welcome.
BTW reflashing to a stock or cooked ROM does NOT remove network locking.
