if I flash the rom of an O2 Exec with I-mate's,
and i have errors and then flash back to O2 rom.
Will they notice?
Will I auto. lose my warranty ?
Hi
As far as I know, they won't be able to see anything if you reflash to old rom.
I flashed my Blueangel with completely different vendor's update because my vendor is lame... and don't support devices well.
Good luck.
what is the difference between O2 Exec and I-mate's ?
Are you alowed to post which site can get the O2 and I-mates rom from?
which is better? JasJar or Exec
Gadi,
it appears that you know enough on the issue as to preffer to use the
i-mate rom (or at least that's what I gathered).
I am just about to buy one - and I am deliberating between the o2 Exec and the i-mate JasJar -- do you have any recommendations as to which is better to buy, and why.
:!: Also -- do you have any problem operating the device with an Israeli (or any non-UK Sim for that matter) SIM -- OR did you have to unlock it - and if you did, how did you do it.
-Also could you direct me to the i-mate rom.
I will appreciate your answer greatly.

Hold on, when you use the imate WWE rom program, which is felt by most to be better, doesn't it overwrite the ext-rom and the radio and the rest, so there is no way, unless you have the equivalent exe file for your original setup, to go back to where you were when you bought it?
An example being I am on t-mob, and they havent released an update to the mda pro yet, so if I use the iMate rom and don't like it, or it bricks my device, then I am stuck until they release one to return the device to life/get it how I want it.
I thought you were doing a proper clean and write to the whole device not just the ext-rom?

Dotan:
As for imate Vs. O2 - The only reason i'd prefer imate is coz
they release more frequent rom updates.
Other than that - the hardware specification is the same (HTC universal).
the software might have been modified to suit o2's requests.
(splash screen, company utils ect.)
So - if i'm buying the phone, it might as well be i-mate's so i dont get all tangeled with warranty B.S...
However - i want to check the claim that the rom flash can be "un-done".
if so - i'd much rather buy an o2 exec that costs bout 100 GBP less..

As for- where to d/l rom updates.. well, after u buy an imate register at www.imate.com and then goto members page.
or - try asking here in the forum, post a topic asking for the latest Jasjar rom!
Behazlacha,
And tell me what u decide to do !
Gadi.
1. Is the i-mate current ROM less buggy?
2. If I flash it to my Exec, will I lose all my current files & settings?

Thanx
G'Day,
I would like to know which device you own? XDA I or XDAII? Cause I think the 4.01.12WWE is only for XDA I. I don't think you can flash the ROM on the XDAII with this since the hardware is a bit different. If you own the XDAII and you wish to do a ROM upgrade, you can consider to upgrade with the 1.72WWE which should give you better battery life and BT option. However, you will void your manufacturer warranty if you are using different ROM to upgrade the device (pretty much what all manufacturers will say :? ).
Cheers!
AAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!! im going crazy, i cant decide wheter to upgrade my o21.66wwe to 1.72. i don't know wich ia better of this two version (1.66 and 1.72) What application will be remove i i upgarde my o2 1.66 to 1.72?
upgrade or not...., that's all depends on you!!.
back to 'CLASSIC WORD' :
if you happy & satisfy with your rom !!, why do you upgrade????.
you have the latest rom from O2, upgrade to 1.72 official rom (imate or qtek), you will loose 'auto config' program (gprs must be setup manually) and cannot installed 'O2 CONNECT' (afaik).
but if you decide to upgrade 1.72, try this :

(cooked 02 asia style)
or
wait untill official O2 ASIA 1.72 rom is available.
Can you please list completly the things will be delete in o2 1.66wwe if i installed imate 1.72, please.........

Hello,
I have just purchased an MDA compact. I want to replace the ROM on the phone with an imate rom which i have already downlaoded and I also want to unlock the phone using imei-check.
Please could you tell me what order to do all this, should I unlock it first or put the new ROM on first? I want to use it on o2.
Please could someone provide me with simple instructions on how to put the new i-mate rom onto the phone? Its a UK T-Mobile MDA Compact.
Thanks very much.
I unlocked mine first and then upgraded the ROM

Download the ROM http://www.imate.ru/downloads/JAM_WWE_128.exe. It is latest International English for I-Mate (no locks, no special customization, except for Club I-Mate e-mail soft - forget about it).
Then, connect the device to PC, and ActiveSync (GUEST MODE ONLY!) and run the ROM exe. It will patch the ROM.
Will this work for o2 xda ii mini too?..

Arrava- are you saying that if this ROM is used on on a SIM locked Magician it will unlock it??
Hi There,
I am buying a Wizard (MDA Vario) for an Australian friend of mine that's coming over for a visit and naturally she wants the Wizard in English.
However, I can easily (and very cheaply) get the Dutch version from T-Mobile in the Netherlands since I am renewing my partners contract.
So I guess I need to flash a new WWE rom onto the Dutch T-Mobile...
My questions:
I am aware of the WWE I-Mate Rom that you can download from the club I-Mate ftp site.
1. Is this a good rom - and will it work 100% problem free with the Dutch MDA Vario?
2. Are there any other or better alternatives? any links to other roms? maybe a T-Mobile UK rom or QTEK 9100? which WWE rom is considered the most stable and non sluggish?
I appreciate you kind help and effort.
Cheers,
Lisa
Someone here flashed his vario, so it seems to work:
http://www.modaco.com/Wireless_G_problems_with_Vario-t232451.html
That seems to be true...
However, I am wondering if all works correctly after the upgrade - or are there any loose ends - like an application not running? frequent crashes etc...
I can recommend flashing always. But you have to know what you are doing. Furthermore you void your warranty doing this, so you might want to consider that while you have the chance to make a brick out of the vario.
Things like sim unlocking are easy with it so that shouldn't give you a problem.
Hi, i have some question.
1. I have an unlocked O2 xda exec, can i ask anyone who tried to upgrade to the latest ROm version v1.13.188 from O2, after upgrading with that version does your exec still unlocked or have been lock? And if i ever to decide to change the rom of my exec for instance jasjar rom does the unit still be unlocked or not, im afraid for my exec to become locked because i live here in the phiippines and we dont have O2 here.
2. Does anybody here tried to install the autoconfig software from the extended rom of dopod 900 becasue thats the only universal that has a Autoconfig software where you can configure your phone settings to different operator particularly asian operator like smart. If yes what are the steps that you've done,did you install all of the extended rom from the dopod900.
3. Does anybody here experience bad things to their new xda exec or dopod 900 such as dead pixel on the screen or anything in its hardware. so far i dont experince any.
Thanks you so much in advance. This site really helps a lot of newbie.
1. Roms do not affect in any way lock status. so no worries.
2. in the extended rom you have many files. if you can find the one specific file, which is installing what you need, then it is enough to only get this. maybe somebody else here in this forum knows, which cab file is correct one for you
3. nothing what you ask for. but look in the threads about wonky screen and case marks.
Anyone who can answer my questions. Thank you so much.
Im going to be using an O2 simcard in it, and I have all the relevant unlock utils etc.
Now Ive downloaded the latest O2 ROM to flash with, but is this the best one to use?
I will be soft resetting before customisation, and opening up the EXT Rom anyway, so not fussed about it being O2 specifically.
Anyone got any suggestions?
Oh, Id like it to be similar to the O2 install, IE a single EXE. Dont really want to mess with memory addresses, umpteen utils and the like etc
THANKS
Got a O2 Exec with the latest O2 ROM on it till two days ago !
The only thing I can say is try Ivan or Helmi's ROMs. They can be set up really safely and easily. The great advantage as well is that your PDA will be a lot quicket to react and the new AKU has really been improved compared to the old one from O2. I mean old like really old, don't support ad2p for example.
None left Im afraid, all the ROMs have been downloaded already m8!
Where can I get the latest O2 ROM from then.
The version I downloaded was v1.13.188
Any other O2 ones newer than that?
Thanks
The rom I have is 1.30.162
Downloadable from http://www.my-xda.com/xdaExecSoftware.jsp
But it's from april 2006. So your probably better of updating to aku 3.x
Trying to update my exec to 3.5 soon.
