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.
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.

Just remember to use Total Commander to take a backup
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.
All I'm looking for is a quick WM6 look-a-like theme, rom, or skin to make my HTC wizard (att) look like it has a WM6 look with out ****ing it up. So if there's something out there that's simple but still can give the full effect, please send it to me or let me know where to get it from. Thank you.
EMAIL me at: [email protected]
just reflash it with one of the roms available and get the real wm6 instead why make it look like wm6 if its not?
as long as it is CID unlocked then it should flash fine.
install this one, just choose which file hosting site link that works, there are three to choose from

this rom is a lot better than wm5 and includes a lot of built in stuff that saves installing lots of apps
Up to you if you do try or not
if your device isnt cid unlocked it will just fail at 99%, but as it only takes 10 minutes to flash i wouldnt be bothered about it.
Make sure you backup the phone before you try as you will lose everything on the phone
Wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Anyways if you aren't lazy read the forums. Read the WIKI. If you have a Wiza-100 , Then if you can read and follow instructions. You should have no problem Upgrading your phone to wm6. Learn about Cid unlocking your phone. then you can download wm6 to your phone.
I was going to buy a new htc phone. Was tired of my old wizard. so i decided to try wm6 before i bought a new phone. And since upgrading i dont see any reason to buy a new phone.
Running Touch No Evil.
can someone provide me detailed information about xda o2 orbit rom upgradation from wm5 to wm6
thanks
What do you want to know about it?
You fill the details in on the website, download the rom and run it. It will wipe all the data on your phone as well

I think I'm either in the same boat as Chappad or at least on the sake river; I'd like to upgrade from WM5 to WM6 as I'd also like to flash Touch Flo 3.0. I've been banging around the WM site for a while now and can't locate the file to download WM6! Where is it or am I just not seeing what may obviously there?
The other thing I am really hoping for is for someone to bless the newbies with, oh, maybe a tutorial on how to flash a ROM like WM6 onto a device like, I don't know, like a Artemis/Orbit and then to install Touch Flo 3.0 on it.
That would be sweeeet.
Seriously.
Try this site for an "official" upgrade to WM6
http://www.my-xda.com/software_updates.jsp
or you can do a search on this website for other "cooked" ROM's

I just tried it and you need a password to log on, have you got one to use?
Otherwise you can use the link I gave previously which is an Official upgrade for o2 Orbit which is what he first poster in this thread wanted

OK tell ya what, pick a ROM that u want to put on your Orbit n I'll tell ya what to do. How's that sound?
This. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=371182
If this works out and, with your help and guidance it's stable; I will Paypal you a "Thank you". You have my word.
Why not do a "How to..." thread on the Artemis/Orbit forums here?!
Thanks,

So, Meschle...or any of the other Gurus around here; How about a "How to..." setting up a Artemis/Orbit to run WM6 and Meschle's Touch Flo? I just wish I had the know-how to do it myself!
Steve
Ok ya ready for it steve.... this is gonna blow your mind! (nah only messing, its so feckin easy ya'll shoot yerself).
1 - download the .zip file of your choice.
2 - extract the .zip file to a folder somewhere
3 - connect your Orbit to your PC and make sure it Activesyncs OK
4 - open up the folder you just extracted, run "STEP 1 - activesync then uspl cid unlocking.bat" - this will unlock the SPL and CID on our Orbit so you can flash a new ROM to it.
5 - Once thats done OK and your Orbit has reset, make sure to check that your SPL is now 1.11 (do this by resetting the Orbit and on the very first screen, in top left corner in red font it will display a few things, on being SPL)
6 - now reconnect your Orbit to the PC and activesync again
7 - and this time open the extracted folder and run "STEP 2 - activesync then flash artemis touch rom.bat" - this will bring up a screen asking to make sure battery is above 50% and things like that. Just follow the prompts and update the new ROM. Your Orbit screen will probably go white with a progress bar, thats fine.
8 - Once this is showing finished Ok, you should ow have a fancy new ROM.
BEAR IN MIND THIS WILL WIPE ALL OF YOUR PHONE DATA, MUCH LIKE FORMATTING A PC HARD DISK WITH A NEW OPERATING SYSTEM. SO MAKE SURE TO BACK-UP
Been running the Touch 3G (jade) for a month or so now...
Very impressed with it, running TomTom 7 etc without any problems...
I would like to get rid of the Orange UNIQUE service so I can run either Wifi or GPRS not the wierd Orange idea..
Is there a way I can backup my installed ROM in the phone should anything go wrong or I not like what I want to use in it's place... ???
Next question...
Having made sure I can get phone back to original should I need to, can anyone direct me to the location of a STANDARD HTC rom image to use on the phone. I have previously flashed a HTC TyTn (one) with a new schaps rom with great success but not sure what is available for the Jade..
Any help much appreciated...
