Goodmorning,
I have one MDA VARIO (UK), where can I find the I-mate K-jam ROM Freeware (English Version)?
And it’s very difficult to install this ROM in my MDA VARIO? (I will must first Back Up my old ROM), how becomes this?
I hope to help me...
Thanks
Hello molf48,
In the ftp there is the rom you want (K-JAM_WWE_1010903_106_10110_ship.exe).
For the other questions, i'm sorry i don't know the answer/s.
I hope some1 guru will help.
you don't need to backup your rom unless you plan to revert back to the original rom in the future. This might or might not be needed in case of a problem with your phone and asking for a repair during the warranty period.
The steps you need to take are:
a. READ THIS FORUM and also the WIZARD UPGRADE forum - take 1 hour of your time and read read read... many people have upgraded.
b. Unlock the Vario and also the CID - using the Lokiwiz utility - read before you unlock - read a lot until you understand what to do.
c. Donwload an I-Mate rom and simply install it by double clicking on it... however like always - READ READ READ
Thank you for your questions and for your time,
Where I can find this ROM? I will go to Google and put the FTP (K-JAM_WWE_1010903_106_10110_ship.exe)?
But can you tell after me with simple steps how flash the new K-JAM ROM in my MDA VARIO?
It’s my first PPC and I don’t know how?
Thanks you
I will answer you even though it is clear that you are not reading the forum.
Once you have unlocked your device using the lokiwiz - upgrading is very simple - you just activesync your device (connect it via usb to your computer - while microsoft active sync software is running - make sure you have the latest one), make sure you have enough battery in your device (it;s best to have 90% or more left) and then simply run the I-Mate upgrade file. And... wait ... and follow the instrucitons on screen.
If my explanation is not clear enough then I suggest you read. It's not fair to help people that just simply won't read. I can assure you that all of what I have said above is written in a much clearer way in the fourms.
Good luck and READ.
Hi all.
Sorry if this has already been mentioned, but I did a search and could not find any info on this.
I have a t-mobile vario (sim unlocked - using Lokiwiz02). Shop told it couldn't be done, but quite a few of you clever people had already done it, so I did too. All went well, it's now sim free!
However, I prefer the i-mate ROMs and have already got the original i-mate ROM installer ready to go.
Does anyone know if this is possible and if so, is it a straight forward procedure (regular way of upgrading a ROM), or is there anything specific I would have to do and what, if any, are the risks?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Too many late nights!!
So sorry guys!! Wrong Forum!! :lol: :lol:
Have moved this to the Wizard forum
finding it hard to get good answers....so in anybodies opinion
the 02 xda mini s
is there any updates from the origonal 1.5.4.2 WWE? if so where can i get em from?
If no updates, maybe the 02 rom isnt the most up-to-date?? and it would be better to change to i-mate? or a q-tec?...if so...which would people recommend? and where could i find them? also...would they effect my being on 02 at all or would evrything stay the same and just the device will work better?!?
what do people think?

Hello jamie,
I would think that you should at least upgrade to the qtek9100 rom if u worry that u might not turn back to the O2 provided ROM. Or if you want even better performance, you can use the latest imate ROM. But i read in posts that you cannot downgrade as the loki wizard does not work in this rom.
Anyhow, i'm using an xda mini S and using the imate rom though.
Cheers
I was wondering about this as well. I've got an O2 XDA Mini S and it all seems to be working fine (so far). I don't use it for anything spectacular though phone, diary, notebook and I have a few other apps on it. I also run spb pocket plus and spb diary, again with no particular problems.
I know the old adage, "if it ain't broke, don't fix it", but are there any benefits from moving to the latest imate ROM, say?
tzehming,
You said you couldn't downgrade. Do you mean that once you put the latest imate ROM on, you can't ever go back to the original O2? Also, what's the deal with LokiWizard - is there something that needs to be done before the ROM can be upgraded?
(apologies for the dumb questions, I'm starting to get to know my way around the device)
Thanks,
John

Hello jko,
Yup u're right about having to use loki to unlock the rom. Search it in the forum and u'll find it. Just type loki.
After unlocking using the software, you can then install any rom for wizards, i.e. O2 mini xda s rom, imate rom or qtek 9100 rom. The one i'm using now is the latest one, which is the imate rom. I heard it cant be downgraded and we'll have to wait for an updated loki software to fix that. But the qtek 9100 rom can be downgraded again. I suggest u try the qtek rom as it makes the pda much faster. The O2 rom is really a turtle when opening the slider and closing it.
Hope this helps
Having read the advice above I'm going to unlock my device and flash it with the qtek 9100 ROM.
Once I've done that, what CAB files do I need to install in order to get O2 MMS and O2 GPRS working again?
Thanks,

Thanks,
Can't answer your question, but just a request to post back your experience once you're done. It would be appreciated.
John
well, you could again search the forum for gprs settings. u may not get the automatic setup anymore, thereby may have to do it manually. search for O2 gprs in the forum. as for mms settings, someone made a cab file, I can't remember which forum , but again, it can be searched. Try O2 mms.
hope this helps
I've got the mini S too...
First thing I did when I got it was to get rid of all the o2 crap on it... couldn't believe how slow it was even in basic mode!
I did the whole hard reset then soft reset when it says "customizing..."
This basically leaves you with a bare o2 wm5 rom without any of the customiztion installed. MMS won't work and either will GPRS.
To get these working you need to install Total Commander on your mini S and browse to the /extended_rom/ directory.
The cab files in this directory are the files installed when it says "customizing..." on a hard reset.
You can then selectively install which ones you would like to install.
There is a brief outline of what each one is on the htc wizard page on the wiki but I've made a better one I'm gonna stick on there.
You also need to input the GPRS settings and MMS settings manually and install a cab from the extended rom that creates the MMS folder in the messaging application.
After you've done all this you'll notice a considerable improvement over the o2 rom with all the crapola installed.
I've also used lokiwizard to unlock it all.
Not tried the qtek rom or the new i-mate one... as I don't use push-email or the like and haven't found any considerable bugs yet I don't need to.
I have found naggaly features which after installing the RegistryWizard, NullKbd and a few others... they seemed to be solved!
I recently updated my O2 mini S 1.5.4.... rom to the new imate one and i must give my approval for upgrading to this rom. Its faster, more stable, is much better on battery life for some reason.

Where can I get this. It does not appear to be in the Rom download area (or is it under a different name?)
its in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=42638&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0
Well I successfully upgraded to the new i-mate ROM and it's MUCH faster. There's a lot less lag when sliding the keyboard in & out, and the general responsiveness of the device is considerably better.
I've managed to get GPRS working, and I've installed the MMS cab but I can't send or receive MMS's at the moment - it keeps telling me that it couldn't send the message. So I'm going to post elsewhere in this forum and check that I've got the correct MMS settings.
Overall though, I'd definately recommend upgrading to this ROM. Just remember to use Total Commander to take a backup of the O2 Extended ROM beforehand so that you've got the MMS cab-file available to install at a later date.
Excellent. Thanks for the feedback. I may well give it a go later today.
John
Code:

Is this the one from Ghisler.com?
I downloaded this but cannot find any instructions or reference to backing up the Rom. Any idea where I can get the instructions (if there are any).
Code:
browse to the /extended_rom/ directory
I cannot see this in the Total Commander Directory list.
Any suggestions appreciated.
Just got my o2 mini s a couple of days ago and I am loving it soo far!!
However, I already encountered a couple of bugs - the system laggss REALLLI bad, like when the slider is pushed out, even when closing/running certain programs the device hangs. Also, I have seen a couple of times where the "phone" application will not load up. In all these cases I have had to do a soft reset on the device.
I am thinking of upgrading the rom - but this is my first pda, and i know nothing at all about fidgeting with the software. I don't want to mess up such an expensive phone so is it pretty easy to do?
w_2k20a:
I too want to be careful.
I have 2 phones, and my O2 Mini S is slow compared to my MDA Vario.
So I am going to try and run an update to replace the ROM on the O2 with the newer one on the Vario, and also get rid of the O2 add-ins which are what slow it down apparently.
I will try this first because I have read about so many problems with the latest I-mate one, and it is not easy to return to the original ROM if it does give problems (although it is possible it seems tricky) - I may the Imate one later if I need to.
The ROM for the Vario (along with others) is here:
ftp://[email protected]/Wizard/Roms/Tmobile/ - use password xda
Its the UK one.
But first I backed up my Mini ROM. I used awizard to do this. Read this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=43399
I think that you will find that using the awizard (get it from this link)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=37386&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0
the backup part is easy. I have done that quite successfully.
Good Luck.
Hi there, new here.
Have had a search but couldn't find an answer so:
I have an o2 XDA IIi.
Is it possible at all to reset this device to just a generic device without all the o2 software mods?
If it is does it affect its ability to work on the o2 network (or other networks)- voice and data only.
Also, can this device be upgraded to WM2005 at all?
Thanks
Andrew
hi,
search at this forum about unlock sim tools, so that you can use other networks.
there's no WM2005 for this device.
thanks
Just search for Pug's modified ROM with all the o2 Stuff ripped off. Or install the i-mate or qtek ROMs for this device, as I have done. It works fine, and doesn t effect the operation on the o2 network. You will have to download a CAB file with all the o2 settings off either the i-mate website or on these forums, though.
Thanks
Simpler one is while doing a hard reset ..
when the PDA installing the customization stuff it will ask you to specifiy if your Pocket PC for Personal or Corporate just press cancel
then again press cancell if it tries to install any software then it will ask you are U sure you want to cancel installing 'O2 Mobile Solution SLR' just press Yes ..
thats all
Now your PDA out of O2 setting and customizations ..
NOTE : every hard reset you need to repeat the procedure as it stored in the ROM....
if you wana get rid of all these stuff permenantly used ( ripped-off modified rom ) from xda-developmers ftp site
cheers
Thank you for the replies.
I have tried the soft reset method for now - knowing me I would mess up the ROM upgrade!
Does the job and now looks a lot cleaner
Unlocked too and now running Vodafone...
Andrew
Just another quick question.
Getting confused as to exactly the make and model of my XDA IIi.
I had a look on the i-mate site as suggested above but when I register it does not like my EMEI number.
I also see the Himalaya/Andes and Alpine all look physically the same.
Which is mine and who actually makes it?
The model no of the device says PH10C.
Thanks
Andrew
The XDA IIi is an Alpine.
You can not register an o2 IMEI on i-mate's or Qtek's website, or vice versa. They are different distributors!!!
However, most of the Alpine ROMs can be found on this website or by Googling 'HTC ROM' or something alike.
For i-mate's ROMs, visit here:

I have just taken delivery of the TYTN ii and it was locked to Orange, I used Imei Checker and had the lock removed as I am on the 3 network and all is fine.
However can someone please do an idiots guide list on how to remove the Orange Rom as it is awful - Orange wreck their phones by installing their own Rom.
I have experience of flashing Nokia phones with no problem so am not a novice.
I have spent days reading the posts on here and still cannot get Hard Spl installed...
I hope someone can help - also what is best rom available at the moment....
I see some people state that you cannot update the Orange rom!!! is this correct???
The tytn ii is running WM6 and my pc is running vista.
So please an idiots guide from start to finish for the orange rom removal would be great.......
