On http://www.pocketpc-club.nl/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=23379&highlight=dangaard you can see that this user "basile" has gotten hold on a new 1.60.021 ROM Update from Dangaard Telecom, one of the distributors in Europe. It seems that they've seen in their logs that a lot of people were downloading it, and I didn't even get the chance to get a hold of it! So if someone has this version please upload it so everyone can experience the real 1.60 version
Send a e-mail to one of the moderators @ Xda-developers
The old version T-mobile 1.60.006 rom update can still be downloaded @ http://www.xda-developers.com/incoming/rom160wwe/.
Did we already mention that this board now takes up to 50 MB attachments?

(doesn't anyone have this version??)
I actually suspect that the new "Dangaard" Rom is not that interesting. The OS version offered in the package is 1.60.00, the Radio stack is 1.06.1, so both are the same as the T-Mobile upgrade. Only the extended Rom is different (1.60.21 instead of 1.60.06).
Aside from that, all non-qtek devices will encounter the Country ID error, thus preventing the upgrade.
Yes, but i have a Qtek 2020 DK ver. and i would really like that upgrade. I was thinking about writing to user "basile" in the other forum, but maybee some of you people speaking Dutch, could do that

I tried but "basile" isn't replying at all...
@ wiz : still, it's nice to have a version without all the t-mobile stuff in your extended rom.
@Roffa: I use the T-Mobile ROM without all the T-Mobile extensions. Simple, after a hard reset, soft reset it at the "3 seconds before customization" screen, customization will not take place anymore. After that, enable the Extended Rom and point and click only the cabs you wish to install .... In my XDA II the word T-Mobile can't even be found in the registry

So can you up the extended ROM for me to try?
Country error
Hello; for your info, not only non Qtek holders but also Qtek holders having upgraded before to the TmobileNL rom will encounter this error!!
Could someone looki into this and come up with something to get rid of the country error;
So far i tryed to flash two new rom versions on my simfree and not tied to any mobile network Qtek2020 (the new european one and the new imate one) and both had the device display the country error;
It seems that they only rom i could flash would be Tmobile's german rom because when i launch the installer the error message is not displayed and i'm offered to flash the Qtek2020.
As there is no support from Qtek at all, which is not the case for imate's owners, could someone help us definitely get rid of this annoying problem which will prove to be more and more annoying as to the lack of elementary support by Qtek for its customers.
Brgds, Arnaud
Hi Roffa and the rest:
Looks like the link to the 1.60 ROM version has been removed from the nl forum by the moderator (stripped down from basile user post).
Has anybody found that anywhere else? We the Qtek owners seem to be out of luck regarding support issues....
i found it
http://www.ace-hellas.gr/qtek/firmware/ruu16021wwe.exe
Is there really a difference between the 1.6 and the 1.6.xxx???
Are there any real significant changes???
Unable to upgrade
Sorry I tried, unable to upgrade get the country id error.
Currently running the 1.60 T-Mobile NL
But here is the content of the Extended ROM

Yes, it is possible, just try again just now, I am able to download. :wink:
Dangaard Rom
Yes, per specific request of Dangaard we have removed the link to the download from our forum. Our website, and with us undoubtedly many other websites, depends on good relations with manufacturers and distributors, and we see no use in harming these good relations by making available rom upgrades that are meant for a limited beta-testing group prior to publication.
We do agree, however, that when branding an OEM product, whether it ends up as an i-Mate, a Qtek 2020 or an O2 XDA II for that matter, it deserves good and proper end-user support. In this, I explicitly do see an obligation for Dangaard, as they seem to be the sole (or one of the few) European distributor for the Qtek 2020, to provide support for the machine, and provide the end-user community with updates as an when they become available.
This, however, does not implicate the right to an upgrade when it has not been made publicly available yet. There often is a reason behind this, and frankly, it would not be the first time that I see an upgrade "leaked" that actually does more harm than good. (For instance, there IS an upgrade out there that very radically and permanently nukes the bluetooth stack of an XDA II, never to be fixed again. Would YOU want to run the risk of having your manufacturer tell you that your warranty is void because you put an update on your machine that you are not supposed to have, let alone put on your machine for instance because it’s not device or provider specific?
That is why whenever there’s an upgrade out there, it is best to leave it to the appointed people that test these roms, or the ultimately manufacturer, to decide when and how it becomes available. Until then, it is at your *own* risk that you apply these type of upgrades, and don’t come crying for help when something happens. I actually DO foresee a lot of problems with non-T-Mobile machines that have the first T-Mobile upgrade applied, which most likely will prevent reverting to the proper operator or machine specific update once it becomes available (we have been seeing quite a few “Error 120: Country ID error” messages lately).
There’s a nice saying in Dutch, “Bezint, eer ge begint”, that roughly translates into “Think, before you leap”, and that nicely applies to this situation. Hence, I’d suggest, rather than hunting down an illegal upgrade, we all are better off joining forces in addressing the distributor, in this case Dangaard, and request regular updates, or at least regular status updates on when an where which upgrade will become available.
PS: I too have willingly put my O2 XDA’s warranty on the line by applying the first T-Mobile rom upgrade. ;-)

to Wiz:
I absolutly can admit (and understand) whatever YOUR policies are about YOUR web page posting, and your relationship with providers, but please, keep the moral speech for yourself.
We are supposed to know were we are, and be able to understand the implications of upgrades and misbehaved applications, so PLEASE, stop protecting us from ourselves. (or at least don't try to explain your censorship habits, just say you did because it's your policy, that is!)

Wrong forum buddy.
This is not The Dutch Pocket PC & Smartphone Club where the majority of visitors have no clue what they are doing and need Evangelists to guide them.
Is there any firm news on the likleyhood of a WM2003SE Upgrade for XDAII's (or any of the other versions of this hardware)? I have seen plenty of posts from people who seem to think it will come sometime but nothing official confirming this.
Given that HP have abandined any possibility of an upgrade for existing users I think it unlikley but I guess it only needs one ISP to offer the upgarde for Himalaya hardware and then we should be able to re-work it for the rest of us.
Yes, I'm looking for this too! I was hoping at least the new T-Mo USA iPaq phone edition would have SE! Is there a way to put that OS on my xdaII? -or is that a bad idea? -is it possible to get that ROM anywhere?

here is a qoute from http://www.clubimate.com/forums/tm.asp?m=2872 posted by pmanser:
I just talked with the "live support" on this site. This is a copy of the session
Welcome Paul, please wait while we get you in contact with one of our club advisors...
You're now talking to Ali
Ali> Welcome to club i-mate support. My name is Ali, how can I help you today?
Ali> hi
Paul> hi, i wanted to ask about if/when the Windows Mobile 2003 SE update will be available for the imate PPC
Ali> Microsoft have just released Windows Mobile 2003 SE, however we need to add our elements to the operating system to make it into the complete device package.
Paul> is there any guess on time frame, it as been release by microsoft for a couple of months now.
Ali> there is no exact day for that
Ali> this usualy take 2 mounths
Paul> I have a number of friends who are considering purchasing the imate, but not sure if they should wait a bit longer if it wont be getting the landscape support found in SE. Can I at least tell them that it will be supplied sometime (this year)
Ali> yes sure , The Windows Mobile 2003 SE is totally different from the new upgrade currently available on our www.clubimate.com website that updates the current version of Windows Mobile 2003.
Ali> it will have the ability to view the pages in landscape
Paul> I understand that, just wanted to make sure it will be provided. I know a number of manufactureres have said they would not.
Paul> thank-you for your time
Ali> any more quieries ?
Paul> I have noticed that there is a number of questions about this topic on the support message boards on the club imate site. Is it ok if I post this conversation there to the public to answer the question and lay fears at ease?
Ali> ok thats will be fine , as i told you we need to add our elements to the operating system to make it into the complete device package.
Paul> ok, thank alot, you have been very helpful
Paul> bye
Ali> you are most welcome
Ali> bye
So it indeed seems that it is being worked on. And a big thanks to imate for providing that. All we neeed to do is be patient.

that was the idea as wm6 was infront of you when you go in the athena forum you got
1.athena
2.athena upgrade
3.athena accessories
4.athena mobile 6
please read and search before you post, i intentionaly gave you the asian link as there was no way you should have miss wm6 for athena.
good luck upgrading
Cant use this if you have a Non HTC version
I just thought i would tell people who have a Ameo or any other operater supplied version of the HTC Athena that you cant use the HTC site for the WM6 upgrade. You have to give them the IMEI number and if it aint one from there company it wont accept.
Does anyone have a downloaded version of this that they could add to the site or could they send me a link to there HTC Authentic version of WM6.
Thank you

Is there any sim unlocking solution on my xda atom pure? i been asking everyone but, i think everybody likes to IGNORE a "NEWBIE" in this forum. or atleast can somebody tell me that someone is working on a unlocking tool... i dont tend to be mean of something its just that im so pissed that everyone is ignoring me!
Because you're asking for a sim unlocking solution. You must be from Turkey, but I'm afraid it isn't allowed here...
Also, bear in mind that most of us got our Atoms unadulterated. Even me. BE PATIENT. NOBODY HERE IS GOD, INCLUDING YOU.
why cant you just reflash the firmware?
how sir?! whatdo you mean by reflashing the frimware? i installed the custom firmware that is available in this forum but still no luck. my phone is still not unlocked.
Check whether below link helps.

It says "this model can't be unlocked" on the very first line. <_<
In any case, if they give you access to the bootloader, flashing your unit just MIGHT work. However, I have no garuntees. I've seen far too many people here with junked Atoms, and before Jiggs's ROM I lived with an unstable hacked Atom Exec ROM.
If you still want to try, tho, I heartily recommend Jigg's ROM. If it works, good for you. I don't like flashing locked devices because god knows what else is locked...

Hi guy
I don't thing this forum would like to ignore the question from newbie . For your problem I don't thing ATOM got any sim lock , the reason is your network provider they maybe lock your sim to prevent anybody who haven't buy the mobile from their supplier to protect the profit . It seems my friends who come from Egypt he brought a phone from HK (use the HK local sim is OK)however he can't be use after back to his country (due to use the eygpt locate sim ) .
Finally I think you better contact some local mobile company they may help you to solve.

Agreed with ericj
For my case in singapore you just hav to call the mobile company you are using and they will give u the code to unlock. More or less confirm its not an issue with your atom

Forum Untold Rule
I think it is normal for an unknown question to be ignored in any forum. It is not because you're newbie... it is simply because no one knows, or it has been answered before. When this happens, googling, and googling, and googling is all you can do.
I have been asking, and asking, and asking on different threads, too, and I also experience being ignored as well. BUT after thorough searching, you'll get to somewhere...
Besides, this section of the forum doesn't have a moderator; so, you should expect not to be answered immediately. I believe, most people who are present are here for one reason alone - ATOM UPGRADING.
Then you should realize that you can not expect someone else to do the searching for you because the members/viewers present are here for different reason.
so... in the bottom line there's no way that my cellphone will be unlocked?
so anyone working on a unlcoking solution? Iphone now a days can be unlcoked, and Atom has been in the market for 2 years now... and still no one has done a unlocking solution? GOD please help me!
one good question is, although we know that if the phone can be use with other sim is unlocked, we can just do this even if it's not with wm os, but, is there a software we can use to find out if our phone is unlocked or locked? don't mean to be stupid though, just wanted to make sure if there is one.......
meanwhile, i will try to search an answer to my question, but i will wait for your answers guys....
