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.

Hi Paul
Looks like i did the same, I upgraded to the 1.60 and lost the o2 bits, so hopefully if we replace our extended roms with the files i pull off a new XDA2 later, and then hard reset we should have Ver 1.60 with the o2 settings

Any luck with the files?
10 mins, and they will be ready
Here we go, here are the extended rom files from a proper UK o2 XDA-2
all i have done is the T-mobile 1.6 upgrade, then made the extended rom vissible and deleted the files, then replaced with this set in the zip file, then hard reset, and all is fine
John
Cool stuff you are the man
thanks for your help
Paul there is one problem, let me try and explaine.
when i first instaled the T-Mobile Dutch rom, as per instruction on here i removed the radio part and installed the rom without radio (hopeing to keep the original uk o2 stuf) but the upgrade worked fine apart from the phone aerial indicator would not show any service just a "!" nest to it, but altho you could not make calls you could still make a GPRS connection, and after you ended that the signal would show and the you make calls as normal
but ater a soft rest you needed to do the connect gprs first to get it work for voice calls, so as this was poxy i just re did the full t-mobile complete rom upgrade after this the phone worked just as it should, but of corse i lost the UK o2 bits and connection details i needed
so maybe as we now have newer roms we may need some of the t-mobile radio parts and our UK o2 parts as well,
i will mess around with it and let you know
is there anyone else with any ideas
John
yes i now have the same problem
not able to make or receive calls
i have found a way round it, iam going to do it again and this time note what i have done, i will post instructions as soon as i finished
john

Ok will hang on before i kill my phone
ok here we go
first of all i cleared out all the files in the extended rom and left it empty
then i hard rest
and entered the regional stuff and got a basic xda running
then i put the files from the extended rom on a SD card
and from the file manager i ran the following cabs ONLY....
and in this order
CallerID_wwe.sa
Camera_wwe.sa
clearview_wwe.sa
Midi.sa
MMS_WWE.sa
msmsgs8
o2_AP_UK.sa
Version.sa
xmailinstaller2003bla bla bla
o2_activeUI (make sure its not the o2_activeUI_eng setup)
after this enter your preferance, it resets and your are done
I do know you can sdeit the config in the extended rom to run just the cabs you need but i will do that later.
at least this way UK people who have lost the perment GPRS after upgrading and the UK setting can have them all back
please let me know if this also works 100% fine for other people as well
(Oh by the way its the cab "OEM_WWE.sa" that makes the phone show no service) so what ever you do dont click this cab
John
Hi John
That was fine well done that man
My XDAII is now in full working order with 1.6 rom and my UK O2 setting and programs
Well Done
In the MMS software on the XDA II O2 UK can someone describe what the setting under Options are please?
I deleted by mistake the O2 server or whatever it is called and its setting up.
Can someone help and tell me what settings they have?
Thank you.

Hi Download this tool, unzip and run dump.bat
This will dump your original ROM. Make sure activesync is not running.
When done you should have four files. Maybe you can zip them and upload them.
