Hello,
I recently acquired an i-mate and before doing anything, decided to perform a ROM upgrade. It started with ROM version 1.66.00WWE and Radio version 1.10.00. I followed all the instructions on the clubimate website. The ROM upgrade (Step 1) went well, until I started the English Language customization (step 2). That program froze on my computer and left the i-mate in bootloader mode, even before starting the Extended ROM upgrade for the customizations. When trying to upgrade the main 1.72 ROM again, it gets stuck at the Radio Stack Upgrade (to version 1.14) at 14%, then either exits with no message (Win XP), or gives a Radio Stack Upgrade error message (Win 98 ME). The phone meanwhile says that it is perfuming the radio stack upgrade and to please wait. Waiting for an hour yielded no change. The following is the log file entries of the part for the Radio Stack upgrade:
03:06:42 Connection with USB
03:07:52 Begin Stage 4
03:08:22 Radio Erase retry 1
03:08:59 Radio Erase retry 2
03:09:15 Stage 4 Complete
03:09:15 Begin Stage 5
03:09:15 Write block1
03:09:26 Write block2
03:09:32 Write block3
03:10:08 Radio Update data retry 1

03:10:24 Write block5
03:10:32 Write block6
03:10:40 Write block7
03:10:49 Write block8
03:11:25 Radio Update data retry 2
03:12:01 Radio Update data retry 3
I tried many times, but get the same result. I followed all advice on this forum and searched all over for solutions, from getting the device into bootloader mode (power button + action button + reset), making sure that my PC does not have any other USB device connected, that the only programs running are the upgrade utility and ActiveSync 3.7.1, etc.
I also notice it takes approx 1 hour from start of upgrade until the Radio Stack Upgrade, instead of the advertised 30 minutes. Someone mentioned that this Radio Stack Upgrade problem may be caused by a security feature on the Radio Stack ROM preventing the installation of older versions. However, I am installing the newest (ver 1.14), so this should not be a problem. With a hunch, I decided to try the English Language Customization (1.72.800) upgrade again, and the extended ROM upgrade worked, but still no Radio Stack. So now I ave everything upgraded, but a blank Radio Stack.
Now when performing a hard reset, I get the blue screen with "i-mate" written on it. In the bottom right only the version of the ROM "D 1.72.00 WWE" is shown, but it says "No GSM" right above it. It takes approx. 15 minutes to boot (with blue Bluetooth LED flashing), then goes through the screen alignment and intro procedure. After that, it installs customization and boots again. It takes another 15 minutes to boot and the phone functions only as a PDA. Even a soft reset takes 15 minutes (with Bluetooth LED flashing). I tried upgrading again after that, but no use. Going to "Device Information", I see the versions of ROM and Extended ROM, but the Radio and Protocol are blank.
I tried phased upgrading, where I would include the main ROM upgrade file into to the directory where the archive was extracted, then extended ROM, then radio stack. Everytime the radio stack upgrade failed (i.e. stuck at 14%), I would try to upgrade that part only, since all others upgraded successfully.
I am really out of options. Any help would be highly appreciated.
Thanks!
I asked Carrier Devices (clubimate) about this step 2 because on the official download page all I saw was the step 1, no step 2 and no link to download.
The answer I got was there is no english customization 800, only a beta. The customization or step2 would be presented for arabic or telstar etc based on your IMEI # not for english it is contained in the first .exe
So you MUST have got this 800 customization and maybe the main upgrade from on here because it was never on the offical download page. Only the BETA from the FTP which some hacked into on clubimate and posted on here.
Go to the official download page on clubimate (register if you havn't) and dowload the official .exe upgrade (one file) and see if it will run. Don't get it from here.
RUU172126WWE_imate.exe
Hard reset a couple times and that should be it. The upgrade does take a LONG time to do.
If that does not work, you might have to do a warranty repair, I would use the online chat support on clubimate, just watch for when they are online and ask. I don't think you can just flash the radio portion.
I find 1.72 VERY stable and fast. Good luck!
Hmm.. All files were downloaded from the official clubimate website (I had to register in order to download). Talking to customer support, they were aware of the Step 2 customization file on their site (they recommended it, too). I doubt I downloaded hacked ones.
Still a loss on what to do, other than take it to a service center, that is (anybody do that? was it expensive? took too long?).
I tried a suggestion where I extracted the Radio Stack ROM upgrade file from version 1.66 and installing it separately. Still stops at 14%. I also tried a full reflash back to 1.66, but also same result. Took it to an i-mate service center nearby, was surprised that they didn't even know how to put the i-mate into bootloader mode (I had to show them)! All they could do was try reflashing using the same utilities we use (still no luck). They said that anything more elaborate would require sending it to Dubai. So much for "service" center. So, no luck there, either.
Also tried to reflash to the orginal 1.00 ROM with 1.05 Radio: The upgrade utilitiy that came with that version won't go past the small "please wait...." screen. Just sits there.
Really sad. I didn't even use this phone (figured that the best start is to perform a ROM upgrade). I'm not that impressed with how fragile ROM upgrading is (and I am careful with using only official releases). I thought after the Wallaby, things would be more robust. Maybe I shold dump this thing and get an HP h6300 series.
Note that I managed to successfully upgrade to 1.72 at least once. It was only when trying the 1.72.800 customization did things start to go south.
Also, does it matter whether the SIM card is in the phone or not while upgrading? Instructions are not clear, although they did mention that the phone will behave as if it is out of area.
Another question (desperate and a long shot, maybe stupid), Do SIM cards from say T-Mobile have an effect on i-mate phone Radio Stack ROM (i.e. lock it, etc.?)
ANY help would be appreciated!
i-mate and bootloader
I just got to see the problem as I am going through the same search for answer. How to get to the stage of bootloader? Somehow I feel that the device has crashed: While I was trying to install the upgrade RUU172126WWE_imate, my laptop, and for some odd reason, shut itself down, then auto restarted. The i-mate from that point on did not respond and in fact all lights on the device went blackout. I tried soft and hard resets but to no avail. I even removed the battery for several hours and when I re-installed it, all what it gave me was the word i-mate (but no backlight). Any advise on how I can get the device functional again.
Thank you.
Put your device in bootloader (press the Jog button and the Power button at same time and press the reset switch). Place it in the cradle and re-run the upgrade. That should work OK.
Jog
Thanks for the quick reply.
Power and reset button I know, but I am not familiar with the Jog button on the i-mate (Pocket PC PE). Appreicate your help.
Its the multi-directional button in the middle at the bottom. Press it straight down.
I bought a Softbank X01HT after finding this site, and as a total WM5 newbie, decided I would switch the phone from Japanese to English. It took me 5 days of lurking around this site, but I finally did it. Here's a summary of my efforts for those of you who dare follow:
Unlock the phone
I went here to get it done: http://www.imei-check.co.uk
Download and Install English ActiveSync from Microsoft
Get it here:http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/activesync/default.mspx
I'm using v4.2
Disable Advanced USB Networking
If ActiveSync keeps disconnecting on USB, then go to Settings > Connections > Usb to PC, and disable advance network funtctionality.
Here's the thread that describes the problem: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=276783
Flash with an English ROM
Here's the post that I followed: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=280566&page=7
Here's the ROM for JASJAM_WWE_1.20.305.3_1.20.305.104_1.07.03.10_ship
Note: the ROMs and the ExtendedROMs are not the same. The Flash will take about 30 mins. It will reset when done, and then ask you to align the screen. I just did as I was told. when done, it automatically started to load the included ExtendedROMs.
Unhide Extended ROM folder
Install fit4cat Hermes Tweaker, I used v1.1a. Get it here: http://www.fit4cat.de/thread.php?threadid=56
From the earlier post, enable 'HSPDA settings' and check all the boxes on the 'security' tab (mount extROM, unlock extROM, allow non certified apps)
Install the Softbank Extended ROMs
Get the Softbank Extended ROMs from this page: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_ExtendedRoms
Move the contents of the folder to your /ExtendedROM folder then do a HARD reset
How to do a HARD Reset
The instructions for a HARD reset are located here: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_Resets
Make sure you see the menu with the press 'R' to reset. If you don't, you didn't do it right. Try it again.
Apparently, after a Hard reset, you will automatically start the 'autorun' script for the Softbank Extended ROMs, and this will add the settings for using data over the Softbank 3G network. If you still don't get a data connection to the Softbank Network, you can add it manually. Read this page for details (#17): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=280566&page=2
Install a Registry Editor
I chose the one included in the Resco Explorer. Even though your processor is by Samsung, make sure you download the CABs for the ARM/Xscale processor.
Get it here: http://www.resco.net/pocketpc/explorer/indepth.asp
Note: you have to install the Explorer and the Registry Editor plugin
Do the Japanese Keyboard Hack
The key thing to remember is that even though your Hermes speaks English, the keyboard uses a Japanese layout. The code for Japanese is 0x0411
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Keybd] "Locale"= 0411 (Hex, not String)
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Oem\Qwerty] "Layout"= 20411 (Hex)
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\keyboard layout\Preload] "Default"= e0010411 (Hex)
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\keyboard layout\Preload\1] "Default"= e0010411 (Hex)
Install Japanese Language Fonts
Now that your Hermes speaks English, you can't see Japanese Web pages. This CAB will fix it. Get it here: http://asukal.seesaa.net/article/6912738.html
Install BTaudio Hack
This hack lets you route the PDA audio to your Bluetooth headset. Without it, you can only use the headset for the phone. It worked fine with my Motorola HS850 set to the "Hands Free" BT profile. I used the version from this post (includes a link to the CAB): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=1044017#post1044017
and Voila! you are ready to go.
Of course, before you start you should read the following:

http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_UpgradeFAQ
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_UpgradeProblems
The above is a summary of what I did, and it worked for me. But, of course, nothing is warranted and proceed at your own risk. yada yada.
good job man. really appreciate your contribution

No need to unlock if you don't want to expend the 20GBP, you just need to donwgrade to bootloader 1.04.
1) Download M3100v3cUnlock.exe from imei-check, but do not pay ;-)
2) Turn phone on and connect to pc (green ActiveSync icon in system tray)
3) Start M3100v3Unlock.exe and close it when it asks for the .unl file with your imei, the device should stay in bootloader (tri-color) screen or a white screen.
4) disable USB connections on activesync
5) Run the extracted 1.04 bootloader-only upgrade, version will be shown as 9.99.999.9 just click next / update.
6) When upgrade ends device will softreset and you'll have bootloader 1.04 in your device which will allow you to flash any rom without CID checking
Then follow the rest of the language switching process with the good mixersoft explanation
4) disable USB connections on activesync
5) Run the extracted 1.04 bootloader-only upgrade, version will be shown as 9.99.999.9 just click next / update.

About this step, it means I have to unplug usb cable from pc before uses bootloader ?
thank you.
No, sorry if I was not clear, it means you have to right click on active sync icon, select "connection settings" and disable the checkbox for "Allow USB connections".
thank you. I will try.
Hello! pof;
3) Start M3100v3Unlock.exe and close it when it asks for the .unl file with your imei, the device should stay in bootloader (tri-color) screen or a white screen.

I use M3100v3Unlock.exe after it asked me for .unl file I close it and device automatically reset. Then I use 1.04 bootloader-only upgrade and try to upgrade
(with disable USB conection on activesync) it says error because can not find conection. How will I do?
Thank you.
Just tell the upgrade utility to continue without verifying... or do not disable usb connections in activesync, iit is not really that important, upgrade will go on equally
I tried to do for many times but failed. And this the message from upgrading.
Error 256 here is the image of it.

What happens if you follow my steps in post #3 but do not do "step 4"? (ie: do not disable usb connections in activesync).
The update should be fine after that, only that it starts from bootloader not from OS and the rom utility says it cannot find the "current" version, but should follow as normal.

Do not let the device reset, disconnect it from usb (don't worry, it is safe), and close the unlocker then. When unlocker is closed reconnect the device and follow with the extracted-bootloader-1.04 upgrade.
Works!! Thanks
It worked for me. Thank you for your time and energy... Its working on Softbank network in Kanto. I just need to install the .cabs for Japanese. I cant read Kanji very well but it just looks better than Obakemoji..
Thank you very much Pof.
I follow your last post and it work for me.
When my device was blank screen I dis connect usb cable and then
run bootloader upgrade( not tick Allow usb connection in Active sync).
From now, I will start to flash rom and then install Thai and Japanese SIP.
Actually, some Thai sip can use with WM5 Japanese OS can input(visual keyboard) Thai word
but can not read homepage or use handwriting.
thank you again Pop for your help.
HI
I have a question about this.
After language change to English the phone work 100% fine?
All applications, all softbank services and etc ?
I wish to change my phone to this X01HT, but i will do this only if I can use the phone 100% in english.
Thanks

Yes, it will be flashed with an english rom, you will be able to use it in english without problems
One more question for confirmation before flash.
Install the Softbank Extended ROMs
Get the Softbank Extended ROMs from this page: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index...s_ExtendedRoms
Move the contents of the folder to your /ExtendedROM folder then do a HARD reset
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
in this step, it means that after finish flash rom I have to put Softbank Extended Roms into Extended Roms? How about data in Extended Rom before I put Softbank Extended Roms into I have to delete them all? Or no data in Extended Roms after flash? If it is emtpy extended rom I see.
Wow this is amazing. I did a major Homer Simpson this week when I picked up my new X01HT and didn't think to ask the sales lady whether it could switch to English. My Japanese is REALLY basic, so THANK YOU so much for this thread and to all the guys contributing.
I agree with taicyber, my question is the same....are the Extended ROMs nessisary? Basically I don't care about "extra features" etc etc. I just want a working phone in English which doesn't kill my contract with Softbank in anyway (apart from the fact that doing this will void any warrantee).
Otherwise awesome post and I can't wait to get stuck into this....heres hoping I don't brick it....lol.
Thanks for answer me!
Another question.
You know if have any others language to install ?
English is just fine , but Brazilian Portuguese is my primary language. Any chance to change to Portuguese too ?
Or Spanish?
Thanks again

No, it is not necessary, you can skip the extended rom step if you want. And if you are not happy after this, you can install the cabs from the softbank extended rom (or any other) later.

The languages available are the ones on the shipped roms on the wiki:

You can flash whichever you like, it doesn't have to be JasJAM rom as pointed on the first post of this thread, this was just an example.

(Downloaded as recommandet here)
After doubleclick
Code:
HimaUpgradeUt.exe
the program start, but after a while it says, there is a error/problem, i should retry.
When I start to try something with the "bootloader" (on-switch, Action-button, reset) he explain me, i can´t install this version, cause the langua.
So pls. help a noob (first-timer of rom-modification), maybe u have a help-page in german too (Or step by step), cause all what i found at your wiki confuse me too much, cause i never heard somethin about this all - even how the extract a .nbf-file.
Thx for help

Note:

====================================================================
1. Start your device in bootloader mode by pressing and holding down:
DPad + PowerButton + ResetButton
After a second release ResetButton, then release the rest of them.
Your screen will show word "Serial" at the top.
You are in bootloader mode now.
2. Place your device in the cradle, ensuring that the cradle
is plugged directly into a USB port on your PC and not to a hub
and that the power supply is connected to the cradle.
It is also a good idea to disable any screensavers on your desktop PC.
Once your device is cradled, the text on the screen will change to "USB".
3. Run HimaUpgradeUt_noid.exe
4. Sit back and wait for the Congratulations screen to be displayed
on your PC. Your device will still be displaying 'Upgrading radio stack, please wait',
but as long as the PC says it is done, then its all OK.
5. Detach your device from the cradle.
6. Now you have to hardreset your device.
Press ResetButton and hold down CameraButton + RecordButton.
Hold them pressed until the "Boot Options" menu appears on the screen.
Select the options as follows:
(for selecting use RecordButton, change values with CameraButton)
Enable KITL -> NO
Clean Registry Hive -> YES
Format Storage -> YES
When done, press DPad and wait until OS starts.
wow - ma, thx; perfectly :d:
It worked, no i have a version of 7.04.c, i guess win 6.0
---
Just few problems left:
1.) fixed
2.) Is there a german version anywhere???
3.) edit: my mistake; fixed
4.) I read, there is no problem of downgrade it (no, i don´t want), but from where i should get the german version for downgrading)
5.) My mda was without simlock (I could use every phonecard), i hope i still can ))
Edit2
6.) I have the program PowerLOC Destinator (a Navigation Program); when i would start, he tell´s me: Invalid PocketWizard Setup package
I guess Navigator is not made for win 6, cause the programm is the original sd-card
7.) At settings i can "switch" wlan; I guess this is just from the OS, cause as i know, a standart mda2 doesn´t have wlan
Background: A guy from phonecompany told me, that t-mobile, switched off the wlan-function, so that i customers doesn´tt know, that his pda can wlan (Branding of t-mobile); but the hardware is inside the pda; They made it at vario 2 and mda pro
Edit3:
Next Problem:
When i connect now the craddle with the mda, i get following error msg.
-Generic RNDIS (PROTOTYPE--Remember to change idVendor-
And ActivSync is not connecting
I duno, how to fix
ActiveSync 4.5 doesn´t work on my w2k-pc, and my mda sais he needs 4.5
With 4.2 and down, i can´tt connect the mda
Anyway, thx, thxy, thx, this was really a good describtion

Could you post titan_radio_3.35.04.exe
Thanks
Also is this assuming you are running a stock Radio Rom and bootloader? or should I just flash Sprint rom first if im running 3.27.00 and olipro 2.40, Isnt their problems with 2.40 and this radio??
Thanks again
Ive got a "bricked" S200 G4 (I think)
Text in rainbow screen is
"ILP 2.20.0001
SLP 2.10.0001"
I dont know if the difference here matters.
Tried to upgrade with different ROMs, but no luck, upgrade stops in the process, different % every time.
But the latest Speedking 2 ROM I managed to install. Hopefully I softbooted and got the same rainbow screen.
Any advice?
Why didn't you hardspl your prophet ??
I did, but maybe wrong hardSPL? It is a jungle here, hard to find the right info I need because its so much.

1. not 100% of our Prophet can be hardspl done ( like mine )
2. if so, just go straight ahean with my lazt_tool, too easy though....
3. hardspl is just a flashing process but only spend a couple of minutes unlike rom flashing, (from 5 - 10 minute.)
all you have to read in the sticky post on the top pf this forum
I recommend youto read post 1 of this thread....

some hints ~~
if error persists while upgrading with this tool,
Please ask yourself...
I. did I softreset yet? did I make the Prophet recovery? (remove battery and sim card),
II. will the USB port of my PC currently too heavy loaded?
III. did I restart my PC yet?
IV. any connection related software other than activesync is running?
V. did I try the rear panel USB ports?
V.I is my PC currently too busy?
VI. did I try other USB cable yet?
VII. did I try the force bootloader manually before upgrade?
VIII. Did I hardreset my prophet after new flash(if everything had done but no help~~~~ ) ^_^

HARDspl
(OLD method is at the bottom of this post)
1: "DON'T PANIC",
2: 99.9999% CAN BE RECOVERED BY
DOWNGRADE TO WM5 WITH entering BOOT_LOADER MODE + flashing the PVtemp (old method step 1).
3: IF USB CONNECTION ERRORS, TRY REMOVE BATTERY FOR 1 MINUTE and try again.
4: FORCE BOOTLOADER MODE MANUALLY HOW TO = ....
4a. keep pressing the Commgr button and
4b. in the same time keep picking/sticking the bottom softreset button with stylus for one second,
4c. [size=+2][highlight] THEN ONLY ONLY RELEASE THE STYLUS[/highlight][/size] and wait for the screen
TO CHANGE to the three color screen (bootloader mode),
4d. then release all and go to step 10 below..... !!!

(remember to download and prepare all files you needed first, or you may have errors while in the upgrade process)

5. Execute the Rom Upgrade Utility (ROMUpdateUtility_NV_G3.exe ( or G4), in the
HardSPL folder that you had downloaded, all activities will only take 2-3 minutes to go and
nothing will be seen in the Prophet screen.
(P.S. if connection Error, NO PANIC, soft reset OR remove battery for half a minute and try again. )
6. after the flash completed, it will restart automatically.
7. done!! in your prophet, nothing will be changed VISIBLY EXCEPT the digits IN the reboot screen !!!!!
and while booting now YOU MUSTBE ABLE TO SEE information like: 2.G3.4PDA (FOR G3 PROPHET) or 2.G4.4PDA (FOR G4 PROPHET)
Prophet Hard SPL isn't yet completed until the SPL shows
"2.G3.4PDA" or "2.G4.4PDA". ^_^ !!!
Alternate way to Flashing / upgrading your Prophet to WM6,
a. ENTER BOOTLOADER (see how to at the upper part of this post) [size=+2]OR [/size]
b. DO THE JUMPSPL...(step 8-9 BELOW) [size=+2](you can force to bootloader mode instead of step 8 to 9)[/size]
8. copy the 3 files from the jumpspl.zip to the root directory of your Prophet and then unplug / disconnect Prophet,
9. Execute the SPL.lnk IN THE DEVICE (using the Total Commander is recommended), then you see Prophet in all bright or white screen,
10. Plug back to the USB port ( connect to rear USB panel of the computer - recommended) to the device,
11. Execute the Rom Upgrade Utility to upgrade to your chosen rom
(or put your NK.NBF to the unzipped WM6_Update_Utility folder), all activities will
only take 3-5 minutes, nothing will be seen in the Prophet screen.
12. Finally, after 100%, be patient, just wait, and Prophet will reboot automatically.
13. OF COURSE, after it auto-restart, [size=+2]better one more time HARD-RESET[/size],
ALL will be OKOKOK !!!
[size=+3]Tradition (OLD) method[/size].... (for ROM with OS.nb ),
1. Connect to PC, activesync now OK, Flash with [size=+2]PVtemp[/size] or NVID for prophet for step 1
WHEN FINISH,
2. TOUCH NOTHING, HANDS-UP !!! leave it alone, just don't touch your prophet...... ( WM5 wwe flashing now finished)
3. [size=+2]ACTIVE SYNC WILL POPS UP soon, JUST DON'T TOUCH IT (disregard it) [/size],
4. THEN RUN UPGRADE.BAT from PC to flash to WM6 (should be included in your old ROM package with OS.nb )
5. follow the on screen steps and YOU WILL GET WHAT YOU HAD EXPECTED THEN~~~~~
[size=+2]PLEASE REPLY IF YOU THINK HELPFUL ABOUT THIS MESSAGE !! ^_^ [/size]
