Guys,
Can I upgrade my i-mate to 1.72 if at the moment I have only 1.52 rom version?
Do I have to upgrade to 1.66 first?
Can you point me to the files I need?
(all I have at the moment is 1.72 rom upd..)
Please advice,
TOmer Eisner
There is no reason to perform incremental upgrades since the entire ROM is replaced anyway. Go for the 1.72 - it is the most stable ROM anyway.
Hi all,
Can someone confirm that the bootloader isn't being upgraded after upgrading to a newer ROM.
For example my current ROM is 1.60.00WWE with bootloader V1.02
If I upgrade my XDA to a newer ROM let's say 1.72.00WWE does this upgrade alter my bootloader version to 1.06?
Thanks in advance.
Mark
- upgrading to 1.66 leaves bootloader as it is
- 1.72 will replace bootloader by v1.06 (and all that little side effects you can read about here)

Hi Peter,
Any idea to which ROM I've to upgrade to upgrade my bootloader to 1.03?
thanks
Mark
after playing around with several german and english rom-upgrades it seems to me that no rom-upgrade up to 1.66.xxx changes the bootloader. the first rom-upgrade changing the bootloader is 1.72.xxx so i think there is no rom-upgrade with a bootloader 1.01/1.02/1.03 in it.
originally i had v1.01 on my device. when i upgraded to 1.66.231ger i still had v1.01 but since i upgraded to 1.72.751ger i have v1.06 and now i cannot downgrade to rom-versions before 1.66. when i downgrade to 1.66 bootloader 1.06 still stays on the device.
what i am still missing is an official rom-ugrade to a german 1.72 because the one i did was a rom-dump of a brand new eplus qtek to sd-card. this work for exactly one time and replaced my bootloader by 1.06 then i downgraded to 1.66.231ger and everything was fine. but there is no way to perform the upgrade to 1.72 by sd-card again because now i get the message "update not allow". i think this is because of the wrong country-id of the rom-dump on sd-card (which was no problem for bootloader 1.01 but 1.06 cares about and denies).
so i hardly wait for an official 1.72.xxxger where i can change country-id by er2003edit.

Hello,
I am looking for the latest Rom update For my Qtec 2020.
I Currently have 1.66 WWE
I need 1.72 WWE
Etended Rom 1.72.800 (i think)
And radio version 1.17 or later.
Can someone help me to upgrade my Hymalaya ?
Where Can I get these Files ?
So it is without Provider !
Thanx in advance.
The provider specific bits are in the ExtRom.
So in fact you can use any 1.72.00 upgrade file and delete the ms_.nbf file before proceding.
Afterwards you can fill your Extended Rom with the applications you want using the Extended Rom Unlock tools.
BTW: This is always a better solution because using a 'wrong' ExtRom could get you into CountryID trouble with the next upgrade.
There are numerous posts with 1.72.00 rom upgrades in it, but I :lol: would recomend my RUU172902WWE upgrade. It is documented what the files in the ExtRom all do, so its simple to skip the operator specific ones.
1.72WWE
Hello,
I have trouble finding the Rom you describe.
Do you have a download link for me ?
Thanx

I have upgraded with http://www.qtek.nu/files/RUU172752WWE.zip and it works fine. However do not forget to first backup and then Hard reset the device before upgrading
According to the Wiki, the latest shipped WWE unbranded rom is 1.18.255.106, and my phone has the .108, so I just uploaded the upgrade package for that ROM (which I got from the support site (one of two here in Finland)) to the upload section of the ftp, in case someone wants it.
This version is for the "Finland and the Baltics" area, and the phone itself has the Scandinavian keyboard layout.
- Pud.0
Thanks for the shipped rom, it is exactly the same ROM version 1.18.255.3 and the same radio version 1.03.03.10, the only change is on the shipped Extended ROM version from 1.18.255.106 to 1.18.255.108.
I've updated the wiki and moved the file to safe heaven:

All roms are 'branded', also the HTC TyTN rom is branded by HTC.
Acording to the info *now* on the wiki (it will change on the future), the newest ROM is Cingular 1.34.502.1, which is dated 2006-09-21. This ROM has radio version 1.16.00.00, but the i-mate ROM dated 2006-09-08 has a newer radio version 1.20.31.10 which has been extracted so you can flash it separately if you want it on your device. The latest AKU build for the Hermes is on Cingular's ROM 1.31.502.1 which shows OS Build 14989.2.6.0, this means this is an AKU 2.6 while all the other available ROMs have AKU 2.3.
To remove the operator branding and have an 'unbranded' rom you just need to softreset before the ExtROM is installed after the device is hard-reseted.
You can install Cingular's 1.34 or 1.31 ROM (depending if you prefere AKU 2.3 or AKU 2.6) with I-mate 1.20 radio and HTC 1.18.255.106 ExtROM which will add HTC's tytn branding to your phone. This should be "the latest" rom now.

I successfully downgraded, CID unlocked and then upgraded to swap from Swedish to English, this worked like a CHARM!!
BUT!! The keyboard hacks does NOT seem to work,, heeeeeeeeeeeeeelp!!
@Pof's quote below
"To remove the operator branding and have an 'unbranded' rom you just need to softreset before the ExtROM is installed after the device is hard-reseted."
is this mean -
that i need to do first is perform the Soft reset after i have completed or successful flash a ROM from the WIKI shiped ROM list,
then make the unhide ExtRom, then remove the ExtRom operator brand, from the Extended Rom folder, then install the "unbranded" ExtRom (execute the unbrand CAB file), then the last step is do the Hard reset.
please advice.
Dear all,
I was upgraded my Prophet to WM6 b4 version,
and I want to downgrade my phone to WM5 Asia version now.
But the process is terminated at 95%.
I think that there maybe SPL version problem. The version number of SPL is 2.15.0000 before, and now is 2.20.0000
Is it possible to making a custom asia rom (nk.nbf) with SPL version 2.20.0000 by myself?
Anybody can tell me how to getting start and what's the tool I need to have?
Thank you very very much and sorry for pool english.
