pls help me with some of my questions
i just upgraded my xda2 mini with a qtek 1.11.00wwe rom then i restored my device after the upgrade.
now for the question: if i hard reset my device will i still have the o2 stuffs or qtek stuffs???
then, if i had qtek stuffs, will i be able to remove them and put the o2 apps back????
thanks for any reply
if you do a hard reset, you will still have qtek stuff.
To have O2 stuff, you need to have a copy of O2 extended rom (assuming you have backup before upgrading ur rom), and run the O2 CAB files accordingly. But you need to repeat this ritual after each hard reset, for reason mentioned above.
Unless, you have upgraded ur rom only, and not extended rom.

I dont think the qtek rom will install on the mini unless extract update file and perform a few modificatins, however once you have done the update the device will have the qtek apps, if you want to have th o2 customisation you will need to perform a hard reset with the o2 ROM and then do a soft reset just after you have done the screen alignment. Next in file explorer just go to the extended ROM and make a copy of these files on your SD / pc, and once the qtek update is installed you can then readd those customisation files from the extended rom

I have a
Dopod 818 Pro, and i would like to upgrade it using imate JAMIN's ROM.
does this void my orignal dopod warranty ? and if yes how do i overcome it ?
can someone please provide me with the steps needed to upgrade.
thanks
Don't know about the warranty but you could always resume back your original Dopod ROM if you have done a ROM backup before upgrading to a new ROM.
There is a Thai website that describes how to backup your original ROM and to upgrade to Imate JAMin ROM. Unfortunately, it's in Thai language but the pictures may help.
http://www.pdamobiz.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=52433&PN=1
The most important part is at the end of the post and this is in English:
Steps to Up Rom:
1. Unlock CID (follow this link)
2. Backup original 818Pro Rom (follow the link to backup ROM to SD)
3. Enter Boot Loader (follow this link)
4. Run file JAMin_WWE_1000925_10009114_11420_ship.exe then Next, and next until finish.
Hope this helps.
thanks it worked
i used awizard to backup my rom instead
then ran the exe file and it upgraded with no problems at all
but one concern, there are pre-installed apps there that cannot be run, i get an error message saying "can not run on this device", does this mean i need a genuine imate to run it on ? , anyone knows how to fix this ?
I didn't see that problem when I ran the ROM update last week.
i used the arabic rom version, it comes with 7 apps for arabic
maybe it only works for imate, not the dopod

@Khuanchai
I'm also trying to switch my Chinese system to English. So I tried the Jamin version but no success since i think i'm missing a lot of info for the right process.
I went to the Thai website you mention but I don't get a word of it...!
The short english version you give doesn't have active links so not enough information for me (its all pretty new for me...)
Any help welcome. Thanks !
Please try again:
1. Unlock CID: http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=33796&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0
2. Backup original 818Pro Rom: http://www.pdamobiz.com/show_news.asp?NewsID=47377
3. Enter Boot Loader: press Camera + Reset, hold camera button until you see 3-colors bands on the dopod screen
4. Run file JAMin_WWE_1000925_10009114_11420_ship.exe then Next, and next until finish.
Good luck!
Khuanchai,
I understand that flashing the Dopod 818 Pro with IMate's rom will overwrite the extended rom with IMate's version. Does following the procedures to backup the Dopod rom to sd card and then restoring from it restore Dopod's extended rom back into the unit as well?

Yes, but with the procedures described in that link, you will have the whole ROM backup. If you use that backup file to restore ROM, it will restore everything back not only the Extended_rom. However, you can backup each part of the ROM separately, for examples, use os option to backup OS ROM only, use gsm option to backup radio ROM only, or use extrom option to backup Extended_rom only. You will then have separate ROM backup files and you can restore back any part separately.
So how did it work?
What were your thoughts on performance, stability?
no that much speed difference
maybe this is a basic question.. sorry for my ignorance...
I am asking this because I have tried almost every extended ROM, but i.e. when I installed Jasjar extended rom, after hard reset, I didn't notice/found any difference, couldn't find an imate logo, for example.
So maybe I an not installing extended ROM correctly, and installing shipped ROM would be the solution. is this possible? , .. maybe it is the same thing..
The Shipping ROM updates 3 things:
1. OS ROM
2. Radio
3. Extended
The Extended ROM just updates , the extended rom
The Splash Screen (the logo on reset) is stored in the OS ROM
To detail, You could change you Splash Screen with any sevice Provider, Just install the .cab which you could find in this forum(Skin related sub-forums).
It is stored in the upper part of the BoodLoader.. Could not be loacted in you windows but with a special tool.
thanks
I've been asking this because until now I thought that in order to try a ROM -i.e Jasjar, O2, etc - I should just copy the extended rom files of the selected ROM in Univesal's extended ROM folder, then hard reset and you are done.
But I feel like doing this you are just installing a few mods -not sure -.
So a good conclusion would be.. if I want to try Jasjar ROM, I must install Jasjar Shipped ROM?? :?

Yes as I stated above, the Shipping ROM versions include RADIO, EXTROM, OS update.
So you can install JASJAR OS but have O2 extended ROM
OK, I understand how to do it with either the NoID updater or with HTC64 - that's not the problem...
What I want to know is this: if I change the Orange ROM to the latest i-Mate ROM, what happens to all the Orange network settings? Will I lose them or will the update only affect OS-type things?
Alternatively, which files in the Orange ROM will I need to replace in the i-Mate ROM (if I cook up a ROM of my own) in order to get the speed of the i-Mate ROM with all the Orange settings?

I guess it depends on which settings. If you are talking about mobile operator settings (like MMS, SMS, GPRS) then they are normally stored in a cab file in the extended ROM so all you have to do is copy the Orage extendedrom to your hard drive, flash the imate ROM, then install the appropriate cab file from the orange rom by copying it to the sd card and double clicking.
If you are talking about other settings (Wallpaper, splash screens, etc.) then this is ROM specific.
I may be wrong but I guess this is how it is.
It's just mobile operator settings I'm after.
I'm worried that once I install the i-Mate ROM I won't be able to use my phone. I know there's a long post that gives all the Orange settings but it just seems silly to have to enter them manually if there's a cab file that does it all for you, you know?
Thinking about it, could I install the i-Mate ROM then run the appropriate Orange cab file?
I believe that's what i said in my message :roll:
Hehe these settings are stored in your extendedROM. Do you know how to access ExtendedROM?
Give me a list of the files you have there.....I'm sure you can spot the operator settings. Or if you want, install Imate ROM then bypass it's extendedROM then install all orange CAB files that you transfered from ExtendedROM of orange to the PC.
Yes, I've already got the Extended ROM visible and writable.
This is the complete list of CAB files in the SPV M5000 Extended ROM:
CAB-Customization-OrangeUK-Universal-01-05-15Aug05.CAB
CAB-Shortcut-Orange-19Aug05.CAB
Enable_VT_RTPlugin_0727_2_signed.CAB
Signed_DiscoButton8.sa.CAB

How about this, try this:
1. Install Imate ROM
2. Unlock/Unhide ExtendedROM
3. Delete Imate ExtendedROM and copy everything from the Orange ExtendedROM
4. Hard Reset
This will install the orange extended ROM
Now if you get some trouble with security/signing, there is a cab file in the XDA DEV ftp site that can handle this.... Just make the extended rom run this first before everything else.
OR
Just hard reset, bypass extended rom install, unlock/unhide extended ROM and then click on the files one at a time

Hi Guys,
New here , so please forgive all stupidity....
I've got the new jasjar rom, about to flash my Orange SPV M5000, I'm currently running it without the orange customization, ie, i hard reset, reloaded the rom, then soft reset to avoid orange rubbish being, loaded, then manually reset the gprs etc,
If i flash the jasjar, will i get the same situation, but a quicker phone?
Any ideas?
Thanks,
James
Er....why did no-one mention that after installing the i-Mate ROM the phone then asks which operator you're with and then sets itself up accordingly?
:shock:
Im an M5000 owner too that was wondering about flashing to the imate rom...
Im after the microsoft direct push client thats on the new imate rom.
OK, plucked up the courage to upgrade to the jasjar rom, but I get a country ID error message,
Any ideas?
James.
Did you put the PPC in bootloader mode first?
Did you use MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe?
No, where do i get that from?
i just ran the jasjar rom exe....
Any ideas now?
J.
Extract all the files from the Jasjar .exe file to one folder with WinZip.
Replace "ROMUpgradeUt.exe" with "MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe" - you'll find it below.
Disconnect your phone from the USB cable.
Press and hold LIGHT + POWER + RESET until the screen goes white and it says "serial" at the top.
Plug in the USB cable. "Serial" will change to USB.
Double-click on "MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe" - the PC and phone will do the rest.
If you get a country error, just repeat the process.
download roms
where can I download the imate extended rom and the orange extended rom?
thanks for that, i've opened with Win Rar and got two folders OutputFile and RUU_Tools.
Sound right?
Then I drop the maupgrade app into RUU/Universal/WWE?
All good?
Thanks,
J.
Also, if i run the ma upgrade , nothing happens.....get the run dialog, then nothing.........
Ideas?
Ta,

Did you backup to your PC the Orange ExtendedROM? The Settings customizations were there.
If not try the XDA DEV FTP site. THey have extendedROM's there for download. Don't know if they have Orange ROM but just download it then put in SD card and run the appropriate CAB file.
Check the wiki of xda dev for instructions on how to connect to FTP site
Hey all, i just got a tmo mda... im rather newb but learning. i just installed to 2.26 rom and i want to backup the rom before flashing to new stuff. would it better to revert back to the 1.8 rom the mda came with and back that up (and how por favor), or just do a hard reset and back up the 2.26 rom.
thanks in advance yall 8)
newb needs help
If you've installed your 2.26 rom then you've got your backup already on your desktop (the RUU-file).
Your ppc will reboot with installed 2.26 rom after hard reset and there is no 1.8 anymore. If you want it back you've got to download it!
If you install new programs it won't be installed in the rom but in another part of your memory.
The rom is a closed part with i.e. wm5 embedded.
If you want to know what's in there, you've got to use i.e. "total commander" and watch for the IC-icons in windows.
Then there's also the extended rom. Herein you find the operater files i.e. T-mobile-plugins like background picture, sounds and several network settings. These you can find by fill-in the directory command line (in total commander) 'extended_rom'. These files also will be installed automatically after hard reset.
You can overrule these installation by pressing soft reset (after screen alignment) while installing after hard reset, but as a newbe better to stay off that path for now.

yes well, thats all well and good. im not that noobish lol
my question is whether its better to back up the tmo 1.8 ROM which came with the wizard, or to back up the 2.26 ROM which i upgraded to onto a 128mb minisd card?
or is this a moot point?
