Imate Jamin Rom

Hello all
I have just purchased an Imate Jamin , saying goodbye to my treo 600.
The rom details on my Imate Jamin are as follows :
Rom Version: 2.13.9.23 WWE
Rom date : 2/23/06
Radio Version: 1_02.20.21
Protocol Version : 4.1.13.9
Ext. Rom Ver : 2.13.9.123
IPL 2.13.0001
SPL 2.13.0001
GSM 2.20.21
Is there any rom update available for my device?
Also, there is a significant lag when I press click to take photo. Is there any way of improving/fixing this.
I would also like to know how to uninstall programs like Voice dialer and extended rom ?
Thanks
Mike Keller

Hi,
first of all I would like to recommend the WIKI - Most important thinks about your new PPC could be found there.
There are some newer Roms at the FTP-Server.
And finally: Use the search function of the forum, most questions are answered yet.
Have a lot of fun with your new prophet.
Ciao

Help to avoid problems in upgrade
I'm sorry , I know my question could be considered " another question made without a previous search .." but I spent some hours to try to understand without been able to summarize what is really the situation; so , please , take few second to read here:
a)I have a JAMin updated only one time from IMATE official site without any problem
b) actual rom is :
Rom Version: 2.13.9.23 WWE
Rom date : 2/23/06
Radio Version: 1_02.20.21
Protocol Version : 4.1.13.9
Ext. Rom Ver : 2.13.9.123
c) I consider my current configuration as "enough stable" and I use :
calender/contact/ IEexplorer/ilauncher/SBSH weather/pocket stocks/batterystatus(overclock to 286)/tomtom/spb backup/and a lot of other nice applications.
d)I do not want to spend a lot of time recovering critical configurations and/or soft/hard resetting the device many times ; I'm not so expert ( as this question confirm !) to manage rom problems on my device, I have to use also for work and I cannot have problems.
with this description , I would ask to the experts here what they suggest me to do in term of opportunity to upgrade and wich kind of risk could I take.
I'm ready to restart installation of described programs , but I would not manage it too many times...
last questions ; could I only obtain A2DP stereo bluetooth performance remaining with my current ROM situation ? are there other important improvement to take into account ??
As you can imagine , any comment / suggestion / etc is very aprreciated.
Thanks in advance

....thanks again for any answer...!!

As far as the ROM goes, I had the same ROM as you and I switched to the Dopod ROM (see on my signature). I think it works better and faster than the iMate ROM. There is a new "official" Qtek ROM available now. It is suppose to be a good one too. Check the ftp site.

thanks to matterhorn , but I need to know what I have to do to install a rom not " imate" ; do I need particular software to do it? must I unlock or "prepare" my jamin to accept the rom you use , for example?
thanks

please...any other answer ?
thanks a lot !!!!

Can not upgrade diamond 2 to WM 6.5

Hi , I need help to understand why I cant upgrade my diamond 2 to WM 6.5
Here is my current version ( I got my phone in Hong Kong )
rom 1.40.707.2(49069)wwe
rom date 06.15.09
radio 3.44.25.27
protocol 61.25t.25.19u
I tried to download a rom update from here :
http://www.htc.com/europe/SupportViewNews.aspx?dl_id=728&news_id=310
but I got a message that there is no upgrade available for my serial number.
Than I took a number (ht968l100038) from stock , from here :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=568330
I downloaded an update , it started to run but then I got a message :
Error 294 - invalid vendor ID
So my question is :
1. Why there is no update available from official HTC site ?
2. How in any case I can upgrade it ? what's wrong with my vendor ID ?
Thanks ! ! !
Hope some one could help me !

If you read previous posts about that message, someone said it was because the 6.5 upgrade is not for your region. Hong kong in europe?
You have to wait for the upgrade to be available for hong kong/asia.

Hong Kong belongs to asia.actually I live in another country,but got my phone in h.kong.
but version of my rom is an english one,is there some workaround to install it anyway?

win 6.5
htc has now actually realesed the official update
when i tried to upgrade mine from the htcpedia one it bricked my phone, i mananaged to recover it and install stock 6.1 onto it so hopefully now that im going from a stock 6.1 rom rather than a custom 6.5 it should work lol

Hi,
This has managed to brick mine as well - how did you recover?
It only goes to the touch diamon 2 loading screen and then freezes.
Please help

Mine S/N is "ht97xl......." .
Some one have an idea what to do ?
When HTC will release an update for this vendor ?

Figured it out:
They have only released European versions of the upgrade which does not work with those of us that have asian ones. The HTC huys don't have a release date for the Asian English Winmo 6.5 ROM release.
Not impressed really.

Hard spl and you can install whatever rom u want....

Official ROM sucks kinda hard anyway.

Hello, i tryed to update my TD2 from wm 6.1 to 6.5 from official htc site -- http://www.htc.com/de/SupportViewNews.aspx?dl_id=728&news_id=310 -- , but when i put my serial number of my phone, it says that for my region is not available wm 6.5 update , i bought my phone from O2 Germany ..
what's the problem ?
ty in advance

I sent an inquiry to HTC and what that they said :
Thank you for contacting HTC Corporation,
Dear HTC Customer
With regards to your inquiry, the WM6.5 upgrade for the HTC Touch Diamond2 is not available yet and should be available within the coming month. Kindly contact us later for more information regarding your WM6.5 upgrade inquiry.
so lets wait .... I don't want to break my phone with unofficial ROMs and loose my warranty. Cant they that their ROM will be perfect,but anyway ...

Today i have decided to upgrade my german device to the 6.5 stock rom (I selected german region). I've put in my serial number, selected the file and the location. And now, I thought I could download the official 6.5 rom. But the download link led me to this site: http://www.htc.com/www/support.aspx where i could not download any rom. Does anyone know what the problem is?

Branded TD2's got other serials, so you can only dl ROMs released by your vendor. Also you won't be able to flash the ROM if phone is not unlocked (you need hardspl 1.83).

@S-Line
I've bought my phone unbranded and unlocked, it is not a phone from my provider. The serial i've put in to the field for download ist valid, otherwise i wouldn't get so far to the select the rom file and the the region.
I wrote to the HTC support and they answered: "Wir moechten Sie bitten, den Download zu einem spaeteren Zeitpunkt noch einmal zu versuchen. "
But maybe its better to leave a running system at it is. I've read the thread "Issues with the official 6.5 build" and it does not fills me with confidence in 6.5. Maybe i should try a cooked rom. Will see.

The official HTC Rom is ok, but I really can recommend udK's Leo R6 (German version) or Dutty's Holy Grail R1 (a bit faster but WWE). Both are better than stock ROM.

Today I have flashed my TD2 with your recommended udK Leo R6 and I'm surprised, I have much more space left after the installation. Original, as I bought my device, there were only 180 mb free data space, with this cooked rom I have far over 200 mb left after flashing. Until now, after some hours of playing around i like it, it feels faster. And I'm very happy, that my first attempt of hardspl and rom flashing was successful.

SFR ROM (Vodafone) to HTC ROM ?

Hi everyone,
Initially, I'm French, so sorry for my English
I've bought my HTC Touch Diamond 2 with the official SFR ROM, it's a Windows Mobile 6.1 ROM.
Today, on the HTC website support page http://www.htc.com/fr/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=249&cat=2&dl_id=733 , I saw the official update. But when I'm trying to make my serial number in the box, I've a message who says that the download is not adapted for my device, I understand this, because I suppose to wait the official SFR ROM, but I'm fed up waiting...
So I've found a "magic" serial code to download the file , but I know if I want to install this ROM, I'm require to Hard-SPL my HTC TD2.
I'm ready for that, but I'm asking you a question : If I install this ROM, the configurations are they the same as the old SFR ROM ? I've to configure my phone ?
When I'm install a ROM, is it necessarily to install radio ROM ?
Thanx for your help !

Changing language - Help!!!!!

Hello ,,
I am getting HD2 next week from Germany ,,
& i want to know how to change its language to English ,
can i just download an official English Rom from HTC website & upgrade my phone without removing the protection ( i think flashing) ? & If i had to ,, How to flash it??? & please give me a link to download the official English Rom,,
Hope i'll find the answers in this website ,,
Thank you

If i remember correctly, when you attempt to download a ROM from HTC's webiste, in the support section, it requires the user to enter their serial number of their device to download a ROM which is specific to their region, otherwise it will not let you download another ROM from another region.
See this link, it lists official Leo (stock) ROM versions which you can flash to there is even an English ROM here (WWE = World Wide English), but in order to flash to a different ROM version in a different language, you will first need to unlock your phone. To unlock your phone, this requires you to hack your phone to unlock it's SPL version, which enables your device to be CID (Country ID) unlocked so therefore the need to hardspl to put other language on.
For more infomration on unlocking your phone, see this link.
After you unlock your phone you can flash to another stock ROM version.
Please note: If you decided that you wanted to flash to a custom ROM version instead of a Stock version, then make sure that you upgrade your Radio version first (link here), and then flash to a compatible custom ROM version.
Flashing order: Install HardSPL (to unlock your phone), then Radio version (if necessary), then ROM version.

Sorry ,, but i am new in these things ,, so i don't have much informaton about it

AFAIK you can't install a ROM of another language/region without HardSPLing first. Read the flashing tutorials in the ROM development section/Wiki, all the details are there, clearly explained.

No, the link I posted above for flashing to ROM versions does not include the links for the latest Radio versions, I posted a seperate link for you above which details the the various Radio versions available.
I am using Radio version 2.07.50.27_2 and it works great.
Most of the custom ROMs available require you to have Radio version 2.07 or 2.08 installed prior to flashing the ROM, so try either of those, unless it is stated on a custom ROM download page to install a specific Radio version.
the link that u gave me 4 unlocking the phone , says that the SPL mus be 1.42 , what's gonna happen if it wasn't 1.42??

It simply won't work
To check your SPL version, power off your phone and then hold the Volume Down button and the power button simultanesously for about 3-5 seconds. You will enter Bootloader mode and a tri-coloured screen will appear. Check what is shows for SPL (it will be something like 1.42.0000. When you unlock your phone, it should show 1.42.HSPL instead).
Note: to exit Bootloader, take back cover off phone and remove battery for 3 seconds, then re-insert.
It is possible to downgrade to this SPL (if above 1.42.0000), by just flashing to an Official ROM with this SPL version.

Don't worry, I was once in your shoes. You will figure it out, just read things carefully and ask questions before you attempt anything you are unsure of and you will be fine

I dont think it includes the Radio, just the ROM. That ROM shows it is compatible with Radio 2.06.51.07, so I think that may be your stock Radio version (resrart the phone and check waht it shows on the bootup screen in orange font)
To upgrade to a different Radio version other than Stock, yes you will need to unlock your phone.

HTC Hd2 from HK

Good morning,
I'm here in HK for a long period and I'd like to buy a HTC HD2 here that is cheaper than in Italy.
My only concern is that if I can flash it without problem in order to use a new cooked ROM in italian .
What does it mean WWE ? I read WWE in some ROM but I don't known what it means
Thanks

Hi friend, WWE stands for world wide English....I also bought my HD2 from Hongkong, and the original ROM installed is also the WWE version, means everything is in English, not in Hongkong's native language...Flashing to another ROM is not a problem, just make sure you follow the procedure correctly (HSPL, etc..etc...)

Thanks...but can you tell me about correct procedure to flash ? I want to avoid any kind of serious problem

all in the stickies at the top of this forum, with videos

OK thanks...but the right steps are : flash with new spl or hpsl and then fals new rom (if I want to use Artemis rom wich SPL/HSPL flash have I to use ?
Thanks

Soon, I would be in Uk too. Which is the carrier who offers the mobile at a lower price -and which is the lower price-??Many thanks!!
