OK, i have finally taken the plunge and got a working ROM dump from my v1640. I have tested this rom, and it can be flashed back and it works (includeds the extended rom and version 1.09.00 radio).
If anyone wants this ROM, please post here and i will upload it to the FTP (I don't want to go wasting space on the FTP site, or my upload allowance if no-one is going to use it)
I know that this is an older ROM, but with all the new ROMs from other providers out, and the lack of one from Vodafone, i know that some people will be wanting to upgrade to a new ROM, but will be wary to do so without the option to go back to original. There may also be people who want to experiment and see how this rom performs compared to other ROMs.
I also have the ms_.nbf file for the extended rom if anyone wants it seperately.
Great,
I'm really interested. In fact I'mplanning to upgrade my v1640 ITalian version and I'd like to have a backup.
I assume your image is the English one.
Could you send to me an howto dump my Italian image?
Or maybe I can try with some product like sprite clone?
Thank you
Lupick
OK, basically i have outlined the procedure below (thanks to buzzdev and this site for all the great information)
First, you need a "host" rom upgrade to butcher. what you need to do is use winzip to unpack the exe into a file. you can delete the nk.nbf that is extracted.
http://buzzdev.net/component/option...view/id,8573/catid,33/limit,15/limitstart,30/
I used these instructions to dump the rom (its pdocread that you need, so the rapi enable cab)
http://buzzdev.net/content/view/65/115/
I used this to encode the ROM to nk.nbf
You will need to set version and operator code (Voda_001)
http://buzzdev.net/content/view/63/45/
I also unlocked the extended rom, and then decoded the extended rom (ms_.nbf) in the qtek flasher that i was butchering and replaced all the files in the qtek extended rom with all the files from the vodafone extended rom (ms_.nbf).
I also added the 1.09.00 radio image to my sollection of files, just so that the upgrade was in there.
Finally, to make it work, i used the MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe to allow me to flash it.
This should give you a working rom, and will also give you the extended rom as a file that you can inject into another operators upgrade utility to have all the nice vodafone settings
Hi
I've been trying to get Vodafone live working on my Jasjar
does the V1640 Rom allow for Vodafone live ?
In that case i would be interested else i'll just wait for the Official Vodafone Live Update
Has anyone else had some luck with VLive?
Unluckilly, i have not got LIve working fully. i have however got it working partially and you do not require the voda rom to do it.

For voda in UK (maybe same for other countries), there are 2 connections required - one for internet, and one for wap. You need the connection details for both (set wap as the default work connection and internet as ISP)
the url for live is wsp://live.vodafone.com

You will also need to setup the 2 connections as follows (the WAP one is NOT setup by the extended rom cab)
HelioFA said:
"ISP" connection
APN - internet
User and pass - web
"Work connection" (For vodafone live)
APN - wap.vodafone.co.uk

Hello,
Does the extended ROM file have settings for Vodafone SPAIN? for MMS, Vodafone, Live 3G Settings?
Hi
On the New Imate Rom the South Africa Settings for Vodacom Live called vlive! is on the rom but it seems incorrect.
You cannot even connect to 3G or Wap using those settings. We had to re-install the previous Vodacom CAB file to get 3G connectivity working
I took the South AFrican settings of a Nokia 6680 (which connects) and set it up on my Jasjar without success then it's the same I cannot connect
They may just have a setting if Phone=JasJar then access=NOHighWAY Option on their APN
We tried the same settings on a HSDPA card and the same happened but we saw that the vlive! exclamation mark gets lost
Personally i think it's a way to block "unwanted" machines and PC's to access their content as people may be able to copy it, using anything other than a Joda-phone ... :roll:
Yes please
I'd like access to the original ROM so if you could upload it that would be great.
OK, gonna zip it and upload it tonight. it will be in the XDA FTP and will be labeled
Pls send me the htp so I can use it too thk you. by the way it wont make my phone lock the signal back again right ? cause now it is unluck to use with any carrier
Dear Heliosfa,
could I have one copy of your V1640 Vodafone UK original ROM ?
I'm so desperated because my old V1640, at this moment, run only in the "bootloader mode" and, if I try to install any coocked ROM not original,the installation stopped at 7% (max 8%) .
Thanks for your help .
Excuse me for my english .
Michele Reale from Campobasso-Italy-
I have a Cingular 8125 (G4), but seem to have a corrupted version of MMS Composer. When viewing a MMS, I do not have access to the toolbar at the bottom that allows me view the objects of the MMS; only the sender, size, date, &c. It's using the default Cingular 2.25 ROM that shipped with it. Is there a way to update or install a new version of MMS Composer that works properly?
As an aside, I have SIM-unlocked the phone to use with my T-Mobile SIM, but there's no way to install the T-Mobile MDA 2.26 ROM on this device, is there? I know it's a G4 chip, so I'm assuming it's not yet possible to install a different ROM, correct?
TIA
Does MMS not work with Faria rom? Because mine won't send/recieve.

First question is which Faria ROM? AKU 3.3, WM6 "the real thing", WM6 Vanilla, or something else???
Second question is, did you run the GPRS and MMS cabs (or use your providers website for setup directions)? Most custom roms do not setup GPRS and MMS settings since every provider is different (the Faria AKU 3.3 actually sets up GPRS for most providers, so thats sort of unique, but MMS still isn't setup as I recall).
Tell us what provider you are on and someone may have the cabs for you... I've posted the Cingular setup cabs in my new rom (link is in my signature for Crossbow Reloaded), and I have a link to an entry by someone with T-Mobile US instructions (both of those are in the 3rd post of the Crossbow Reloaded thread).

Thanks for being a pal.
But um, I believe it's Faria ROM. I have a G4 Device, so I had to use shelltool to flash it. But anyway, GPRS seems to work, it connects and sends and stuff.. but when I try to send MMS it stays at 0% and just says unable to send. I am using Cingular, and If you could, could you find me the default MMS.cab or the MMS settings that I could set.
The same problem...
Is the same problem that affect to me.
Can see the mesages in the server but i cant downladed that.
The % is ever the same... 0%, for send and for download.
The soft in my PDA is Arcsoft.
Any idea?
The settings are correct, are the same set that others comons phones.
All O2 settings applied through the network wizard but does not send on this rom, everything was ok on PhamQuang's and Meschle's. Just wondering what might be wrong on this one.
I am under the assumption that you are using an Orbit. If so, the settings used by the ROMs for O2 will not work on this phone. You need to manually setup the GPRS settings and slightly alter the MMS settings.
Thanks anyway mate, put the new version of arcsoft on the orbit and MMS are working now, strange really
Hello!
I'm using Aether 0.5 rom and dsixda arcsoft mms cab, and once the connection setup is done, I have no problem sending and receiving MMS.
However, I wanted to test latest Onyx Rom (6.5 or 6.1 ultimate(where MMS app is already installed)) and I can't receive MMS. But I can send them. Error message shown in notification is 'OK: Error' and I get the same error if I try to download the message again.
I do the exact same thing to configure MMS: running connection setup after having checked MMS availability in the messaging window.
Same problem for other ROMS (touch of hd or touch essential), so it's not a rom related issue.
It seems MMS works perfectly using another french operator (tested on Bouygtel network)
Connection parameters seem to be the same on all roms.
My operator is ORANGE FR
Does connection setup/wizard version matter?
Does windows sys version matter?
Thank you for your help!
I am using ONYX as well.
No issues.
Try Onyx 4.6 Jr to see whether problem existed, alternatively, you can post support for that thread too .
Cheers.
