Hi
I just installed my 1.72 Italian Rom and i see that there is a lot of stuff missing (videoMMS, the ClearView applications and much more...)
I would like to go back to the english rom but the phone now gives me the typical "Language ID" problem and, as i am not a genius with this things, i would like to know
1) is it possible to install just the missing applications, and if yes, can you redirectme on where to download .cab files for them ?
2) Is there an easier way to get rid of the Language problem ?
Thank you guys
Barabba
Could you tell me which English ROM you want to go to?
Is it a language problem or a country code problem.
If you have the other upgrades where you want the cabs from, you can extract them with ER2003Edit.
- I think DCS's solution http://wiki.xda-developers.com/wiki/HimalayaRomFlashing has helped most people with country codes.
- Haven't tried but according to the author of ER2003Edit, you can change the operator of the upgrade with ER2003Edit to the one you have now on your xdaII and it shouldn't give country code errors anymore.
- There is a HIMAUpgradeUT.exe around which doesn't verify the country code, but I haven't tried it. and it doesn't always work, or gives you problems with your next update. I don't know much of this, but i thought i should mention it.
Maybe read http://wiki.xda-developers.com/wiki/HimalayaRomkitchen about composing your own upgrade out of several upgrades.
Also O2UK has a kind of test in the setups of extra progs, to test if it's really an O2 1.72 . Again I don't know much about this but i thought i should mention it. Edsub is/was trying to get around this.
thank you for your help,
i solved the problem, for the moment, downloading the
Extended_ROM_1[1].72.184GER_One_AT.zip
from another post in this forum.. it was holding the cab files for the missing applications...
Damn... i really don't like this Italian Version (i am used to the english texts.... and the translation is poor)...

Thanks for the compliment but that article is not mine, it was written mainly by itsme. My procedures are here.
Hi everybody. I've got two Himalayas. One I sucessfully flashed with the WWE O2 rom at some point in the past, and another I just bought yesterday. That one is a dopod 696, and I'd like to fuse the two roms after a fashion. I want the machine to be english, but want to swipe the chinese language abilities of the dopod (it's chinese input rocks). I tried the grab_it method - which will grab the O2 rom, but it evidently doesn't like the chinese name of the sd card on the dopod.
Anyways, I've been looking around here, and lots of the tools seem to all be for the wallaby. What gives? Haven't any of the tools been upgraded for Himalaya? How do you guys cook your roms/extract the parts/combine/reflash? The info is all over the place in bits and pieces!
Thanks. Amazing what y'all do.
PS. I'd be more than happy to post the dopod rom on my own server space if someone can clue me in...
I upgrade my Dopod566 (Hurricane) with T-mobile SDA software, but I didn't like it, so I reflash the system to Dopod566. The problem is there's T-Mobile splash in the starting, and I didn't like it.
So would anyone tell me how to get rid of the T-mobile splash from my Smartphone? Many thanks!
I have the t-mobile sda2 and i also dislike the screens, but what i did manage was to find 'RJV RegTweaks UI', this is a real simple regtweaker only for a few settings. It did manage to change part of my shutdown screenS, but my startupscreen(s) remain the same. Since you're original is a different phone, maybe you can search the registry (be carefull not to erase anything, stay alert, hype on caffeine or something what works 4u) for t-mobile startup/shutdown screens. It should be easy to find?
But i've added the regtweaker, not a regeditor, i don't have it here at work.
Dopod566 you say?? Do you have any screenshots? And how stable is it? I haven't heard of this rom before... And maybe you've read my other post... I want another rom, more stable rom
Let us know if you succeeded in getting the screens to bugger off, it is valuable information
Dopod566 is the one version of Hurricane sold in Chinese. The stability can be accepted, but can only display Chinese and English can in this version. Actually, I'm finding 2005 version.

So, let me see if i understand you correctly...
This rom you have is standard in chinese and can be set to english? Or is it english and can be set to chinese? If the last is true, i'd like the rom, i think, because my chinese isn't so great :wink:
And have you found a wm2005 version? Or are you searching for one?
Because i definately need to update my rom, but can't find any suitable roms for my hurricane. Only the SDA 2 and a .nbf for an 'orange' c550, but i don't know how to flash my phone with a .nbf file yet...
Hey,
Newbie here. I own two smartflips bought from i-mate hq (Dubai). However, i'm now in Aus. WM6 looks nice and i must say, great work and appreciation for those who cook up these ROMs. However, i noticed that all these ROMs start off from either Cingular or QTEK or HTC. why leave i-mate ROMs behind guys? Anyways, before i try out any of these ROMs, i just don't want to end up killing my phone. I've searched high and low for i-mate stock ROMs (WM5). I saw one in a post but that was like WWE or something which i'm not sure what it means. I don't want to register on i-mate and do loads of form-filling and IMEI filling just to get some ROMs. Anyone have any idea of where i can acquire some 'stock' WM5 i-mate ROMs (not qtek or cingular or htc or wotever).
The other thing.. i haven't SuperCID-ed my smartflip. I tried to get to the bootloader (for no reason.. just experimenting) by pressing the keys n all but it doesn't show up. it goes to the i-mate screen.. then flashes an HTC logo and boots WM5. Once again my smartflip is Out-of-the box, hope that helps someone explaining the phenomena. i do have the i-mate CD that came with it. However didn't find and option to install Windows Mobile 5.0. I need a ROM to keep a backup in case i screw up. If anyone could help me obtain an i-mate WM5 ROM, it would be greatly appreciated.
Also, how would one find out the IPL and SPL of the smartflip? As i mentioned i wouldn't like to brick my phone. It is mentioned somewhere that the 3.06 or wotever IPL and SPL version are not capable of flashing through micro-sd card. Not sure but i think the 4.0 or wotever can flash through micro-sd card. Apart from the link(to files) posted in a thread, isn't there an 'official' way of getting to update the IPL and SPL?
Sorry for such a long post. One thing i must say, great work guys. I would like to suggest people to follow up on their threads. there was one 'bricked' post but the person said he found a solution but never posted what his solution was. It would be helpful if he could have posted the solution as it does help others. Apologies if i said anything wrong.
Thanks,
Dan.
You used to be able topick up Imate roms from ftp://ftp.clubimate.com
But they won't be nearly as good as the cooked Wm6 ones. Just follow the instruction and flash away.
(WWE means worldwide english)
Flash one of the cooked ones! I use Erofich's 6.1 and it's great.
WWE just means WorldWideEnglish as opposed to other languages.
Good luck
I have a SmartFlip upgraded with GnatGoSplat's WM6 ROM (Eurofich' WM6 is better but GPRS doesn't work): it works fast and without problems.

What's a problem? Use my WM6.1 where everything works
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=374397
just install a Cumulative Fix after flashing and have a fun
Btw, you can also use Jony_aa's WM6 AKU 0.5.1 ROMs with most useful software included, or clean version

Thank you all!
Hi,
Thank you all for your responses. i-mate roms at imate ftp site is confirmed. Thanks unwired. The thing is i take calculated risks and have most info before i do some thing. so if i end up somehow bricking my phone, i will know what to do before dad kills me . Now i just need to update the IPL/SPL and get into bootloader to see if it works. Then gonna flash with WM6 or WM6.1. I just needed a stock ROM to keep as backup because its mentioned somewhere that if your phone is bricked, u can try to flash it using micro-sd card flashing. but that only works with stock ROMs if WM6 flashing fails. Anyways, thanks once again. i will keep you guys updated on my progress.. Thanks!
Best Regards,
Dan.

SDA_ApplicationUnlock
Where can one get the SDA_ApplicationUnlock.exe? the superCID thread didn't mention where to get it or either i missed it... anyone out there to help me??
Thanks,

(If i succeed in doing this.. i'll make an Utimate WM6 for STRTRK guide)

Hi,
Sorry for multiple questions. I still haven't been able to get into the bootloader by pressing the voice notes and camera and power on key. I'm still not sure how it goes. Do you have to hold the keys, press the power button and let go immediately of all the three keys or do you have to hold the power button for long with holding the voice and camera keys? i need to check which version of the bootloader i have to make sure it supports flashing from micro-sd. Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Dan.
EDIT: I was also looking for some way to backup software from my current WM5 ROM. There are some apps that come in-built which i like. But since i don't have the .cab(s) i was wondering if there would be a way to backup software and later on install it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Out of a million tries, I only managed to get into the bootloader ONCE that way. Okay, I exaggerate, but I found it almost impossible to use RECORD, CAMERA, and POWER to get into bootloader. Instead, I've found with the phone OFF, press RECORD, CAMERA, and plug the USB connector into the PC while holding those buttons. It goes into Bootloader every single time that way.
You can back up the built-in apps, but it requires figuring out which files belong to which app, and also getting their registry entries. Then you can either manually copy all those files into the phone and manually import the registry entries, or make them into a cab file to automate it.
WOW.. thnx for that!
Yup! Worked like a charm! i have IPL/SPL 1.02 or wotever.. so i don't need to worry about micro-sd card flashing problems ( i hope i never need to use that in my life). So if it works this way.. i would recommend others who have bricked their phones and trying to flash it holding the record, and camera button while phone is off, plug it in the usb. As soon as i did that, Vista picked it up as a mobile device. the bootloader ( the screen sucks! what a dreadful combination of colors!) also shows a usb sign at the bottom. I hope this info helps those who bricked/killed their phone and were finding it hard to re-flash it. As it is mentioned in some thread... if wm6 flashing fails, u have to revert back to stock rom WM5 (cingular rom for cingular phone, i-mate rom for i-mate, etc) and then re-flash with WM6. I wonder if rom update utilities work when in bootloader connected to pc.
Once again, thanks for your reply GnatGoSplat. As for the apps, yea.. i know its bad. I did check over onto the i-mate site and found a file 'Arabic...' something. it didn't mention it as a rom so i'm hoping they are the software packages that come with the default middleast rom. You might have heard of 'Portableapps' on PCs. They are little beauties. Because the original windows and windows mobile are linked closely.. i might wonder if there could be a way to port those ( or even create your own) onto windows mobile. I know how to make portableapps so if you need any info, i think i could help unless someone knows better.
So where do i get the SDA_ApplicationUnlock file? Thanks.
Regards,
Dan.

Hi,
Thanks for the file Erofich. Unfortunately, I've just been caught up with studies and hence will not be able to work on modding my i-mate until i get some free time. however, i'm still going to try to work on an 'Ultimate WM6 for Startrek Guide'.
Its just that its better for end-users because some of the information is scattered around and 'some' of the instructions are a bit hard to follow (no offense to anyone). If anyone has any concerns or is against my actions, please let me know.

Dan

You can translate some menu (in the post of WM6 by Eurofich you find how) but not all of them.
You can get the xT9 with spanish language with a cab you can find looking in that ROOM.

Hi,
I know I am asking a weird question but I have a qtek 2020 with wm6 in english which is collecting dust in my office.
I am planning to use it again in my car for tomtom usage only. When installing it on my current version, the screen is turning black and I am not able to use it.
So I want to install on old version of the ROM (1.66.02FRA for example) but I am unable to find it. All the links I find are not in place any more.
Can anyone help me finding a way to make Tomtom works on my actual version (black screen is not really useful) or to provide me with an old ROM version (French language is prefered)?
Thx for your help
Marc
oups, forget my previous question.
i found the ROM images in the wi-ki.
there are days I should stay in bed...
