ext rom 1.18.257.9620
windows 5.1.195 (build 14955.2.30)
Not sym locked
Its in German , I would like to change the language to English and upgrade all of the above to the latest software (will be suing phone 98% of time in UK)
can anyone please help me. I have read the forums but the roms seem to be older than mine and I cant find an English one that is newer
Any help much appreciated..

I am already reg. with I-mate as owner of one of it products, I got informations from them say that new room will be avilable soon it is ver. 1.66 for XDA II maybe next few days, and the windows Ver. is Windows 2003 SE
at all when I got the link to download it I will publish the link for everyone, Thank you for everyone published that great support using XDA II and XDA. it was great help to me to came very expert in solving problems to my XDA and XDAII
as my profile say then
i have
RUU 1.66.00WWE
RSU 1.10
on my qtek2020 it came with that
as far as i can tell it's not 2003 SE
specs
ROM version: 1.66.00WWE
ROM date> 02/20/04
Radio version 1.10.00
protocol version 1337.18
extOM version 1.66.140
I published what I already read in I-mate forum, I didn't have it yet ...... by the way all new edditions of XDAII coming with v. 1.66
so Rudegar
as it is getting really stressy to have the latest release... ;-)
do you have any ideas about the improvements with your
1.66.00 ROM over the 1.60.00
Alex
hmm, can you post a copy of your rom?
you can copy the rom with pmemdump from itsutils.
well it had that rom when i got it so i cant really compare it with 1.60 since i went from a xda1
i'll look into drumping the rom
but it does seem to have some auto settings and such for
some phone company
usually the phone company specific stuff is in the extended rom.
itsme:
usually the build number is just the ExtROM right? example, the latest tmobile rom i saw in the other thread had 1.60.36, but the os was simply 1.60.00, and the radio was 1.10.00, and the extrom was 1.60.36
does that mean that IF we extract whatever newest rom that comes out in the future and see that it has the same osrom ver and radio stack, merely upgrading the ExtROM is the best way to go?
I mean i know people prefer to only flash the ExtROM, but that's because they want to cook something up. But what if you just want to upgrade and not waste time with the OS if you see they still have the same number, does it HAVE to come hand in hand to upgrade? Or could you just bypass the others and upgrade the ExtROM and expect it to perform like a real update?
yes, that is what I usually do.
I have read all the posts in regards to upgrading but I still need to make a clarification. Will the above upgrade which I have downloaded from http://buzzdev.net work for i-mate PE with the following specs:
ROM 1.72.00WWE
Radio: 1.14.00
ExtROM: 1.72.800
No impact on local telecom provider or with the fact that the device is i-mate and not xda?
Is [1].65b.96WWE the latest version?
yes , this will works fine , but , upgrade too your radio to 1.17 ...
1.65b is the latest u^grade , but some bugs are found ... if you wait few weeks ... maybe days , 1.70a will be released ...
Hi guys,

any idea how to flash the imate?
Thanks
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.
Has anyone upgraded to the O2 Trion Upgrade 1.25.207.1?
If so, any information on the upgrade would be appreciated.
dont make me weak, isnt it the same version as its out of now from O2???
Isnt it this thread? Here
I have 1.23.707.1 date 6/28/06
Did updated the radio to 1.16
Where is 1.25? and what are the differences with 1.23?
Thanks
Eric
It's available here or on o2online.de
I think it's more stable. Additionally my UMTS connection is much better than before I upgraded - but I think this is because of the RadioRom upgrade to 1.16
I am with i-mate, I don't want german windows
I do not think it is a german version
My O2 trion (from Germany with German keyboard) has an english software....
Eric
It's been running on my trion for 11 days by now. Less stability issues than in my 1.21 original ROM and no noticeable problems. Anything I should check for?
... ahm - and it definitely _is_ a German version of WM5.
Hello,
I have here an on Himalaya Phone (QTek, Vodaphone Germany branded)
any option to update/upgrade firmware to sth. new
ROM-Version 1.66.01GER
Radio 1.10.00
Protokoll 1337.18
ExtRom 1.66.221
I never upgraded a PocketPC, but I'm not a newbie to computers....
Thanks for your help
Bernhard
sure you can get 2003se. wm5, wm6, wm6.1 and wm6.5
the description in the readme in the rom packets include all the
info anybody could give
Also, this is very secure process, it is very low danger that you can brick your phone upgrading rom, but you must be very careful while updating Radio. Radio update takes 2~3 minutes, and it is as automatic as rom upgrade.
