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
If you want to do something back, please donate to this forum to keep it up and running without advertisements or banners (just click Donate Money on top of this page).
This is how to upgrade:
Works only for upgrade from i-mate to T-Mobile 1.60.06 NL.

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?
-arebelspy
According to the page I linked:
Fixes
Improved Battery Life
Improved MMS client
Headset Bluetooth bonding imporvements
Bluetooth throughput improvements
Latest Service Pack 2 from Microsoft

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.

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.
On sourceO2 it says that you can download the latest O2 ROM. Now, I know this link isn't up and running yet, but it does give some interesting info.
The bit I'm interested in is the new applications that come with a new XDA2. It says on here you can download them, but then asks for a username/password.
Anyone have a SourceO2 account and could pull these off for us?
Thanks!

Extract the 1.72.187 ROM image
I was wondering has anyone try to extract the ms_.nbf in the 1.72.187 update from sourceO2 website? I have tried to extract it with xda2nbftool and er2003edit (password: 0x20040305) but failed. If anyone got it, please let me know how to do it. Thank you for all suggestions and advices.
Where did you get the 1.72.197 update from? SourceO2 are still linking to the 1.60.50 update at my-xda.com.
Sorry for the confusion. I don't have the 1.72.187 ROM. I messed up by my own "folder system" . The one that I thought it is the 1.72.187, well actually, is some kind of customization ROM and I named it as 1.72.187. Sorry for all confusions I have created!

What won't install? Where does your quoted "the ROM is updated" message come from?
The three new apps won't install.
The installer runs on the PC,
then on the XDA there is the same error each time.
Setup Error - Unable to install application, Please update your device ROM to the required version before trying again.
I've upgraded to v172187,
restored by backup,
synchronised
and everything works fine.
Except this.
It could be that the restore overwrote the ROM version in the registry. Check your device information to see what version it reports. If it is incorrect, change it by amending the registry value HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\OEM\3rdversion\MSYSTEM to the correct value then try the installs again.

try to backup first and after installation just restore it
NO! Do not restore over ROM upgrades. That is a sure way to ran into problems with your device. If you do not have time wait until you are free to upgrade. Otherwise you may ovewrite some new improvements with conflicting scripts.

Restoring files and contacts is different from restoring programs. You can select pim data and documents to restore, but that is chicken feed. Even for a noob like me :lol: No offence please. Just stiring up some brightness here :roll:

Yeap and this is the 2nd thread i posted seeking help but so far no reply , im also thinking to install Android and use duel boot as well, but without knowing these ROM and Flash update info i dont want to do anything
Your device x.XX.720.x is a Asia/India rom device.
If you don't have a branded device, than yes you can update to this rom Asia_India_3.14.720.3
If it is a branded device you need to wait till your rom is available.

nice to see you have updated your device
Okay, let get clarify some things before:
- You don't install Android on your device, but on your SD
- Better?? is a big word sir. I must say I'm a WM user fore about 8 years, and I'm now a Android user (follow the mode) fore 3 weeks.
But I must say both are different. Personally I prefer WM, but it depends on your needs, wishes, feeling, taste.
- No sir Android don't over-wright WM, you used it from your SD
- Two way's to launch Android, launching from WM; ore using duel boot (I test ons and I was't satisfy)
