Hi folks,
I have an i-mate with the following specs:
ROM : 1.72.00WWE
Radio : 1.14.00
Protocol : 1337.24
Ext ROM : 1.72.800
After going through the numerous posts here, I am thoroughly confused. Can someone please clarify the following:
1. Is is better to upgrade to the new O2 ROM? If so which one, since I understand there are 2 versions.
2. If I do upgrade, there seems to be something called O2 active. Would this or any other settings hamper the usage of my phone since I live in India?
3. Can I have the procedure to do this upgrade?
My humble apologies if some of these questions have been answered before, but frankly, I am completely lost! :? Thanks a ton in advance.
Cheers!
Lakshman
Lakshman,
Will try to help you out once by compiling everthing from other threads:
1) There are 2 versions: (thanks to Nighthawk)
- v1.72.187 does not have Blackberry software built in. If you need to use a permanent GPRS connection that will remain connected when phone is used, you should use 187 version.
- v1.72.181 features Blackberry, will disconnect any connection when phone rings, except the Blackberry, Mobile Web and WAP connections. But so far haven't heard of any non UK O2 users able to use the Blackberry.
2) About 02 Active, i find it pretty but useless to non UK 02 users; therefore, once you upgraded your ROM it will prompt you for O2 Active Settings like Country, GPRS or GSM, just hit 'Cancel' and it won't install the GRPS or other network settings. You can still use the O2 Active but a lot of function will not be available for use in India. I removed mine.
3) Not too sure if your unit is CDL or O2 (info from HimaGetDeviceData.exe) but my upgrade was no issue at all; i just download from http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=12515 and ran the upgrade. If you encounter country ID error, then you would have to refer to DCS's thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=12101
Hope this helps.

You mean I canot use my GPRS after cancelling and what other network settings are you referring to?
Can you elaborate? Thanks
:roll:

Hi Lazzy,
Thanks to your input, I went through the upgrade successfully. Many thanks to DCS for his excellent step-by-step guide to fix country id errors.
I am now facing a curious problem. I downloaded the Appsuite for XDA II provided in one of the forums here. When I try to install the utilities I get an error on my PPC saying could not install, "please upgrade your ROM and try again!" But I believe I have the latest ROM now. Could someone please advise. :?
Cheers!

We are trying to sort this one out Hopefully someone will come up with an answer soon.
Hi guys,
thanks for running an awsom website...
I just want some clarification on this thread.
So it is okay to upgrade an i-mate with an O2 Rom such as v1.72.181 and is this the best ROM for devices such as the I-mate currently?
Anyone? please answer my previous question as I really want to upgrade...
bump..
As for the os and radio you can use any 1.72 / 1.17 rom.
The differencen between al the roms is in the extended rom and thus just a matter of functionality you want : choose anyone you like and use dcs' guide to upgrade.
thanks man, I appreciate it.
Re: RE live in Dubai - UAE, can I upgrade with this ROM
I live in Dubai UAE, can I upgrade my Imate with this ROM
I have blackberry application installed on my Qtek2020, also I have the blackberry APN on my line and I'm subscribed to the service, but I don't know how to setup my Qtek to use the service. Anyone knows how? I will be thankful if anyone can give me a step by step configuration or a self executable CAB file, my carrier is vodafone egypt.
I am working for a belgium provider, and I am willing to help, but I first need to configure i myself. Where can I find the CAB file ?
I already seen a cab file in this forum but it is for Vodafone UK, do you think that the blackberry application is only designed to work with O2 network?

I believe that to get it to work, one must use ROM 1.72 WWE version. This is the only version that supports Blackberry for Himalaya. You can install the BB client on your PPC and BBConfig on your PC, but the RIM server won't connect you up (even you subscribe to BB service with your local carrier) unless your set is on 1.72 WWE.
OK, but where can I find the ROM 1.72WWE to download ?
HI
I am a french newbee and i want first of all thank to all the members for their wonderful work. It is a very helpful forum.
Thanks to you I upgraded successfully my rom to 1.72, months ago.
here is my questions:
- how to know if my device's windows version is 2003 OR 2003 SE?
- where to download the file himagetdevicedata?
-I want to upgrade my radio rom to 1.18.
For that i need, I suppose, the file himaupgrade_ut.exe in order to launch the upgrade.
But i dont know where to find this file : no results in my desktop pc nor in my himalaya. Where to download it? Or where to download another appropriate launcher?
Here is a try of first contribution:
members asked for a fax software . Only TRUE FAX was founded with great impediment : 49$
there is another one: MfaxCE 1.8.4 for 9$ !!! :lol:
Demo version download at : www.samtechnc.com
So happy to get your answers!
