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

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.

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.

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.

Read the Threads ... without HardSPL you cant Flash a Cocked Rom. If you are sure, you have a HTC Niki and not a HTC Neon??? If you dont know this ... read wiki!
Hi,
it's a HTC TOUCH DUAL 5520 ITA. Should by Nike ?
How is USPL or Hard-SPL done ? From the link you postetd I could not understand.

So what's unclear? In this thread it's all desribed perfectly in my case!

Hi all,..
Can some one please advice me how to get back to the original T-Mobile rom after flashing Hard SPL?
Some time ago I flashed my Raphael to the Romeo Rom. This was because I could not get a normal GPS fix. Now when I look at the T-Mobile.nl website I can see a new downloadable official Rom. I want to try ths rom, but in order to try this Rom I need to remove the Hard-SPL.
I tried to flash my T-Mobile MDA IV to the original T-Mobile rom but the program gives an error. (need Soft SPL?)
So can some one advice me how to remove the hard-SPL so I can flash my raphael to the original T-Mobile Rom?
Hope that someone can help me..

Hi all,..
I know that this might not be the richt forum, but still I would like to ask if there is ANY rom on which the Raphael hasn't got GPS problems. It is driving me CRAZY! I need to go on holliday next weekend, and would like to use my Raphael i.c.w. Tomtom.
I'm using the .28 radio Rom, but every time I want to use tomtom I need to soft reset my device, run the HTC GPS tool (clear memory) to get a fix. and after that tomtom gets a fix after several minutes.
This means that when I want to use tomtom, I need to do the above steps, which takes about 10 minutes. VERY Anoying!
Please advice...
regards,
A.
I'm running ROMeOS2 v1.51, and have no issues with GPS at all, not even a lag. I guess a rom would not improve the GPS isues though.
What TomTom are you using?
Does Google maps work with gps?
How is TT installed (Card or internal)?
What are your GPS settings (built-in or NIMEA?)
Did you try the GPS improvement CAB from this forum?
If all is as it should be, you will probably have to send the phone back for warrantee, and then you need to undo the Hard SPL, and flash the rom on T-Mobiles site.
Undoing the Hard SPL is described in the SPL topic.
Hi,
I had several problems with the GPS in the past. So after try all kind of tweaks I give back the phone to be fix. In 2 week they returned the phone with a complet new board ( new IMEI and new MAC). Now the GPS is working normaly. I think some phones have some hardware failure from factury.
gps problem is solved !!
from the beginning i wasn't able to use gps / tomtom. even not with the original t-mobile rom.
now after flashing the Romeos 1.51 i'm getting a gps fix after 30 sec !! this for 2 day' now!
so im now a happy raphael user, working with a very stable Rom.
regards,
a.
