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
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=374397
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.
Regards,
Dan

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.

Hi there i'm from Cambodia!
I got the problem after finished upgrading rom. Everytime I've finished upgrading my prophet doesn't upgrade to the new rom. It's still the same rom as before(My old rom is wm5), and sometime it's appear only three colors.
Does anyone of you know why my prophet can't upgrade to wm6 anymore?
Thank inadvance
Hello,
here looking after these Rome.
-- Qtek 2.20.739 GER, NVID
flashe it easy and (should work)
search then you the following things
-- SoftSPL
-- HardSPL
when you now without the SPL change want another rom-tuned want (WM6.1) use SoftSPL
-- Root copy
-- SPL Play
-- White screen
now connect USB and the right Upgrade_RUU.exe start (G3 or G4)
then about 10 to 15 minutes and wait for the new rom is installed.
You do not want any flash before the SoftSPL you can run on the first white screen and flash HardSPL.
Then, only the need to update / upgrades.
Download HardSPL and SoftSPL:
SPL variants
Hi!
Try this rom http://files.mail.ru/HZUAH1
It is an original shipped rom. It TAKES A WHILE TO INSTALL,but it worked for me.
If you have not already upgraded your IPL to 2.20 than check your device type, G3 or G4 http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=prophet_g3g4_how
Next upgrade your IPL http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=315016
Now try some 6.1 roms.
It worked for me.
Hope this helps.

Hi,
I've upgraded my qtek 2020 from wm2003 to a wm6 rom ( several from the forum: efsane; shekhar; tofclock), and in all of them i got the same problem:
The phone doesn't make call's, the phone button doesn't work, the phisical one (the green one) and the software phone program.
When i reset it, it appears "no gsm", and the rom version (if this helps)
Probably it's a very simple thing, but i can't figure it out, some help please.
I would try another radiostack
Thanks Rudegar!!!
Thats it!!!
I've installed a differente radiostack, and now works great!!
Thanks

Hi
Im from spain, sorry because my english level is low. I can upgrade my Qtek to windows mobile 6.1, Windows mobile 5.0?
Thanks but if possible in spanish.
I have a imate WM 2002.
It is working great except that I need old version of activesync to sync. Can I upgrade it to WM5 or WM6 so that it syncs with latest activesync ?
If yes, how ?
regards
Jagat
Yes, upgrading to Windows 6 will ensure you can use the latest activesync. Before you upgrade you have to find out whether your Jamin is G3 or G4. You will get information here.
You can just follow the steps here. It is a neat tool by bikertibi that does the hard work for you. Just select the right options. You are flashing for the first time so you will have to select HardSPL. That is permanent and there is always some risk with flashing your PDA. Mine still works great after at least 25-30 flashings so if you're willing to take that risk select a ROM and flash.

WAIT WAIT WAIT.. Are you in the right place first? The HTC prophet never came with wm2002 installed.. it had wm5 installed as standard! Do not upgrade your phone until you are sure what device you have! You could damage your phone if you dont know what you doing! The HTC Prophet was released by imate under the name "JAMin".. is that what you have?
Edit: I think you most likely have an imate smartphone 2002.. which is unfortunately VERY OLD.. in which case there might be an upgrade to 2003 somewhere that might help.. good luck

yeah, so you mean to say this imate 2002 can at best be upgraded to wm 2003 ? If it is upgraded to 2003, can it be snced with the latest active sync ? Can you please point me to download link ?

Hi!
I have a Qtek S200 and having some trouble to update the ROM.. I did update it from 5 to 6.1 a couple of years ago...
Now I've done the HardSPL just to be sure again and when I run any roms it just says upgrade only.. Get a Newer nbf file...
I have a G4 model by the way.. If some of you guys could point me at the right direction so I can update my wm to 6.5 it would be great..
Tnx in Advance!
with this one it must be easy:

- If you done the HSPL...uncheck it in this application.
- Choose G4
