Upgrading MDA Compact Rom

Hi, sorry about the question even though it may sound n00bish but i only just got my MDA compact so im very scared bout doing things to it. I dont like all the t-mobile customisation so I have downloaded this rom from
ftp://ftp.clubimate.com/JAM_UK_11200_131_11210_ship.exe
Only thing is i dont know what to do with it now do i just open it up on my mda compact and it will install the imate rom and its done or what?
Thanks and once again sorry for the n00bish question.
(by the way is this rom ok for my mda compact?)

NemesisDE's post has some good instructions.
...and yes the ROM you specify is 'compatible'
Enjoy

T-mobile Vario (SIM unlocked) upgrade to i-mate ROM (orig)

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:

Noob wants help upgrading k-jam to wm6! pleassse

Hi guys, I've just got a k-jam and want to flash it to wm6 / wm6.1. i have read the guide to upgrading and it seems rather easy, just requires patience and strong nerves , however i'm still unsure where i can get the wm6 ROMs from? url? Also a friend downloaded a ROM and had to re-do it after a week because it had some timer on it? how do i avoid ROMs like this? Im in australia and my carrier is optus, do i need an optus ROM? if i use another carrier branded ROM will it work with optus? Thanks heaps in advance and sorry for my noobiness!!
