Earlier, I installed unofficial T-Mobile 1.6 rom on my i-mate. I just recenlty tried installing the official i-mate update and there is a country code. I don't have the old rom to revert to. Can anyone help. I know I would have to at the least get a copy of the old rom and then install it into the i-mate. Again, since I don't have a backup of the old one, I would need info on how to get one first.
The T-Mobile unofficial one works fine. I just wanted to go back to always on gprs etc. that the i-mate update has. If not, I guess I will have to wait until the rom kitchen is up and running for this unit. :lol:

I think you better try it using bootloader way, because t-mobile protect it's update, it happen in XDAI if you update your XDA to 4.16 and you want to go back to 4.11 then you have to update it using bootloader to be able to go back from the previous one 4.11 8) hope this help you...opps correction please there is no bootloader on XDA II, there is bootloader but in different way, I think if you copy your old nbf to sd using xdatools and go to bootloader by using power+anydirection+ reset it will ask to download the nbf to you device... hmmm if this doesn't work you have to look for another way.
T-Mobile 1.60 BUGGY Rom - Want to go back to iMate ROM
Folks,
I'm in the same position - Can someone please outline the success they've had going back from the T-Mobile 1.60 ROM to Imate ROM 1.5283??
Any thoughts would be great... (I'm guessing the boot loader using an SD card may work but would love to hear of any new tricks that people have learned on this
Cheers
Andy
I'll try to help.
Where can the ROM be downloaded, so I can have a look at it.

T-Mobile Back to iMate ROM
Thanks
I've uploaded the new iMate ROM image to:
http://www.c1au.com/iMatePDAROMS/ruu15283.zip
The somewhat flakey T-Mobile 1.6.006 ROM (which I'm trying to get away from is at
http://www.c1au.com/iMatePDAROMS/TMobile160.zip
Of course, with the different operator / country codes, it's not just a matter of running the .EXE - It'll need to involve the boot loader of a little hex editing of the header, I'm guessing (just guessing?!)
The new iMate ROM is meant to be the best bet around at the moment and my device is an iMate in the first place. The only reason why I installed the T-Mobile one was to get the Bluetooth GPS fix (which works well) - BUT so many other things aren't as stable!!
The new iMate ROM is meant to have the BT GPS fix as well.
Any help, much appreciated!
Cheers
Andy

That's correct, you need to mod it.
I'll make a procedure for it.
Jos
THANKS!
You're a champion!
Thanks very much..
It sounds like there's a few people that'll thank you!
The other posts on the subject aren't too clear at this point - So it'll be great to clear up the issue for the iMate / XDA II.
All the best - Have a great weekend.

OK, made some time to create a batch file to upgrade.
Works only for upgrade from T-Mobile 1.60.06 NL to I-mate 1.53.82.
1. Download the ROM image ruu15283.zip from the site in this posting
2. Unzip the file with Winzip
3. You now get a file called ruu15283wwwe_cdl.exe
3. Extract this file with Winzip to a new folder
4. Extract the attached file to the same folder
5. Start the conversion and upgrade by double-clicking convert.bat
Since I'm out till Sunday, I can't check my mail to respond to problems.
Enjoy!
Can the first person brave enough to try this please confirm success.
IT WORKS!!
Jes - You're a scholar and a gentleman!!
And a *(&(&( good programmer
IT WORKED!
Thanks a million!
Let me know how to send you virtual beers or whatever
(or if you need a hand with anything - Please let me know!)
Cheers
Andy
Nah, I'm not a good programmer, I just know how to write bachfiles and how to combine things to get the disered result.
Thanks has to go to Isme. He knows a lot about the internal working of the XDA II, the ROMS and the bootloader process.
He wrote the great tool used to change the file headers, so you can update your machine with a ROM of a different brand.
He's a good programmer!
If somebody needs a mod to upgrade from another ROM version, please let me know.
And if you want to do something back, please donate to the people who keep this nice forum up and running.
It worked. For those who want to get back onto the official path from unofficial t-mobile this is an automated way to do it. Thanks...Jon
Backing Up XDA2 ROM+CE
I'm a new XDA2 iMate user, want to back up my ROM+CE before I screw things up. I did this on my XDA1 (power + software reset, then press contact button I think). Anyway, I always had my ROM+CE backed up to a 64M SD card ... just in case.
I've searched these forums for such a procedure for XDA2 ... no luck.
What is the process, if any, to backup the XDA2's ROM+CE image to SD card?
Appreciate any help,
Craig
I think it's possible with the xda2dmp tool, but you better ask Itsme, he wrote it.
You can find it on this site: http://www.xs4all.nl/~itsme/projects/xda/xda-ii.html

Jos
Hi Jos ,
I tried it and it WORKS!!!!!!!!!! You are a brilliant guy !!!
I owe you one!!
My friend wants to install the T-Mobile Update because the windows CE version on the T-mobile ROM is newer than that of the imate. Any magic patches that can be done.

All the best

Difference between i-mate 1.52.00WWE ROM and i-mate 1.53.82
Can anybody outline the differences between the 1.52.00 and the 1.53.82 official i-mate ROMs?
I'm trying to ascertain whether I have sufficient incentive to upgrade (given the "If it ain't broke, don't fix it" mentality I subscribe to in my old age!).
Sufficient incentive might be;
:arrow: Faster GPRS
:arrow: Improved battery life
:arrow: Improved all-round performance.
Thanks guys.

Just upgraded to i-mate from much-loved XDA!
There is a beta rom on the club i-mate ftp site. It looks like it allows anonymous ftp so go get it if you feel adventurous. I have only looked at it briefly but one thing I did notice is that cleartype is still fooked.
ftp://ftp.clubimate.com/support/RUU120_172126_i-mate_WWE_R11400.exe
ce version 1.72.00
extended rom version 1.72.126
radio version 1.14.00
I wont be installing BETA version anymore... Had fun with the T-Mobile one... ;-)
Could you please check if this rom changes the DEVICE ID to an unknown device like the T-Mobile beta rom did...
What passwords can I use with Rom Editor ?
When you use er2003edit you have to use these passwords:
NK.nbf = 0x20040304
ms_.nbf = 0x20040305
radio_.nbf = 0x20040306
Dont forget when you open a rom file you have to unselect AUTO DETECT ROM.
So when you open the nk.nbf file make sure you selected OS ROM.
And for ms_.nbf you selected EXTENDED ROM
And for radio_.nbf you selected RADIO ROM
Also you can download it on our XDA FTP server.
I downloaded the rom and uploaded to our server.
Well, my device is working flawlessly now. So il stick to this rom until there is some significant changes. Like a release
Bad Cleartype. argh!
in a few day i will give my impressions.
I don't think it's beta anymore as it's listed on the Device Support page.
http://www.clubimate.com/index.asp?PageAction=DEVICE_PPC_UPD
Anyone have a list of changes?

According to the page I linked:
Fixes
Improved Battery Life
Improved MMS client
Headset Bluetooth bonding imporvements

Can you post the final version. I have just installed the "Beta" one, looks very good, stable with all the features listed as improvements. The extende ROM looks a bit thin compared to T-mobiles Beta. I hope it has bee pumped up in the final release.
I'm about to go out having finished the flash(es) sucessfully, I'll try to post later if noone else has.
NOTE: After the original flash my imate was as normal, but after the part 2 flash (even more updated extended rom image my bootup image said "Test Version only" (or similar) at first boot, but after customisations had installed, it seems to be normal. Wierd!
Tried to upload, but when I previewed the post it removed the file from the FTP site. I'll try again l8r, sorry.

As I said before there is the BETA that is on the first of this thread and the offical from the clubimate.com website. I just flashed mine and there is no beta screen anywhere in the official release
There is a "not for resale" message on the boot screen the first time (AND ONLY THE FIRST TIME) after installing RUU172800WWE_CDL_SKU1.exe, which is the english Extended ROM only image, not the RUU172126WWE_imate.exe file which contains all three, but a lower version of the Ext. ROM.
You install the ...SKU1.EXE file over the top of the Ext. ROM in the full image if you read the instructions on clubimate.
Hope this clarifies my meaning.

Hallo drj, can you upload your version please, unless you have a non-distribution agreement with i-mate! The BETA version looks very promising, ClearType very presentable on my device. I'd, like many others here, appcreciate it if the final release were made available.
Looks to be available to everyone now.

Is Cleartype still bad?
TMobile 1.72 VS iMate 1.72 and ClearType
Some people, ilvanni, have mentioned that the iMate 1.72 has the bad looking ClearType font... Does anyone know if the TMobile 1.72 has bad ClearType as well??

It says nothing about downloading this file on the official download page, there is no link for this anywhere. THe only way to download this is if you login to the ftp site which is not in the instructions. Can you post your versions of camera, mms etc. I think you just installed a beta over the official which is included in the offical release.
hi has anyone got a uk T Mobile Rom latest version or a rom i can use to upgrade my uk 1.60 T Mobile Rom to, as being fairley new to this i seem to be having trouble using any other roms. also could anyone tell me what is the latest and best rom available
Cheers Burgs 8)
Best ROM available is the 1.72.00WWE rom from Qtek or iMate.
To use it you will have to modify the country-id (which contains the provider name).
Just download one of those roms from this site (search for RUU172*)
Follow instructions on the wiki part of this site
Upgrade the Radio and the OS only!
Dont use the Extended ROM (ms_.nbf file) as supplied (ie delete it before the update) as it contains specific customisations from the supplying operators. You might wanna try my 1.72.901 Extended Rom archive (also search this forum) for that.
Hi Edsub,
what about RadioROM 1.17?
Worse or better than 1.14?
I have no experience with Radio 1.17, YET
Planned for next week
BTW Edsub,
see my post http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=11618
231 people read this one so far and no one is offering help.
Could you help the less gifted (me)?
Sorry, but on the following page is a description that does the trick:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/wiki/HimalayaRomFlashing
I just found that it sure is hard to find via the menu's. Fortunately I stored a shortcut to it myself.
Hi Edsub,
thanks! That was what i was looking for (for starters).
Lets see if i can make something of this......
To al the others:
thanks for helping me out!
Today one of my friend dump his radio from Dopod S600 (Niki Chinese version). Can any one help to rebuild the bins to radio.nb? Or can any one tell me how to do this? Thank you.
The Dumped radio is here.

i do this! need some days for tests! then i provide it for DL!
Thank you very much for your help~~/kiss...
Maybe if we flash this radio, we will never overwrite older version on it.
so be causion.
uhm ... i must look ... this type of files i havent use before!
this is realy a dump ... need time!
have you a dopod rom with this radio inside? can you look on the dopod home page for new roms?
yup, I have an os dump, it's a total chinese version.
lots of new drivers in it.
I have just cooked a chinese version rom using its driver.
It's faster than my old version roms.
I don't have official version of these roms.All are dump from s600.
Maybe Dopoda have not release official full rom yet.
Sorry I missed the qcn file in that package.
The updated package is here:

(the 2 roms are all of 0804 Chinese language)
the 1.58 radio's Niki can not use some of s600 drivers, or may cause camera and audio errors.
By the way: the Dopod s600 is without gps,wifi,fm radio.
Any news or updates?
I can't download the file.
you can install the grid service plugin to download from the site. I installed it, and i think it's safe and till now it does not post any advertisements when downloading.

Raysource is spyware, well at least everyone else thinks so. But anyways, I don't have to use Raysource in Firefox. Now it just gives me a "too many downloads - come back later" thing.
you may use GetFs2YouFile to download the images.

It doesn't work. All I get is "Too many downloads, please come back later. You may try the download software (Raysource) to download it with IE." when I click on the direct link.
Any chance you could upload it elsewhere?

hello,
does anybody have the stock ROM from the attachment?
Here or here if ur still cant search it.
I´ve seen the wiki but as I am new in this I cant tell which one I can use since there is no rom with all 3 parameters as mine...
ur screenshot shows WWE so looking for WWE (1) is a good start.
then see ur rom version (2)
then see download option (3)
so u will get 1 available download link (4)
then find for radio matching the version in screenshot here.
hope this helps.
and what does U, W, H mean in protocol? Is that relevant?
thanks for help
the protocol is related to radio so u can extract & use vodafone (uk) or o2 (uk) radio rom from its shipped rom or u can find somewhere here.
