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.
Andy
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

Just try it out. If it's not ok, you get country error when you try to upgrade.
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.
Note -> Please tell me of how can I be of any help to you in return for your support
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!
Hi
just want to re flash my rom with the original software from o2
do you know where i can get it from ?
genesis
O2 has the original software freely available on their site.
Can you give a link for that please, i can only find rom for XDA1.
Has someone backed up the original software for xda2
its just that my software has gone to pot so i wondered if anyone has got a backup for there xda2 software from o2 in the uk. so that i can download it. I would be very grateful
genesis
Just downloaded the new ROM update for Qtek2020/XDA-II from O2..
I doesnt work, it says "error 120, country id error" and that the ROM image doesnt work with my Pocket PC
And in the PDF file it says that the upgrade only works for O2 UK customers... what about me? I bought my Qtek here in Copenhagen denmark? How can I get this upgrade?
The distributer of Qtek here in DK is as good as invicibel, so is the information/support...
Can anyone help?
Regards
Peter
At this URL:
http://www.sourceo2.com/O2_Developers/Devices/O2_Xda_II/XdaIIRom.htm
you download the two ROM files (XDA II upgrade and XDA II launch ROM)
First, install the Launch ROM and your Qtek is flashing with the original O2 ROM. Then launch the XDA II upgrade and it's OK.
I done this opération with my Qtek (previously ROM 1.60WWE) and it works perfectly!
Hey!
Thank you very much for you reply!
i downloaded the Flash ROM, but the program seems to Quit after the little grey menu has been there saying that its checking my device?
Anyway nothing really happens after that... know what that could be?
Regards
It's strange, what is your ROM version?
Have you ever try a flash operation before?
No I havent.
My ROM version is 1.60.00WWE
and extRom version is 1.60.21
Damm!!
Now I got the ROM update intaller started... but unfortunatly it stopped after deleting my old ROM and showed an error message...And now the Qtek is completely dead... it just says "Serial v.1.02" in the dark display...
I tryied this one time before, also trying to update the ROM.... and the only thing to do is send it to the manufacturer and wait at least 2 weeks for them to reinstall everything.
Hm, well, I dont suppose anyone knows a trick to get it running again?
Regards
Peter
Ouch! I'm sorry for you.
Read this forum, but I believe that you can copy the ROM directly by the SD Card, but I do not know any more.
Try to change the title of the topic to ask an assistance.
I hope that all will be arranged

downgrades would work like upgrades just with an older nbf file
pretty sure the upgrade tool don't care that the nbf is an older then the current
How do i get a upgrade tool and how do i know where to get the 'nbf' file. Will it break my phone?
upgrade tool is called HimaUpgradeUt.exe
and is included in all zip and rar rom packets
the .nbf file is the rom also included in the rom packets
how you flash and what to be careful of

Hi thanks for all the help! I really want to downgrade but i'm scared it might go all wrong. I don't want to end up with a broken phone! Should i try and downgrade?
in theory all up and downgrades can result in a dead device
it's up to you
thanks very much for all the help and advice
