hello there, is it possible to install the standard OS software from de MDA compact/Magician on a MDA2/himalya?? a friend of mine has this software but i don´t know if it is suitable for a MDA2. when it is possible I would have a standard (checked!!) WM2003SE.
tnx already
Francis
when you get windows for your pc it have 1M different drivers and possible settings
with win CE it have to be 100% made for the device otherwise it would never boot
Bummer
so I have to search a bit more for a win 2003SE. how about the versions on this site? can I install them without problems? is there a version that you recommend foor my MDA2? is there a difference between de xda2, mda2, qtec2020? or are they all "the same", in other words, a OS for the qtec2020 is also suitable for the XDA2 and MDA2?
it´s a hole new world for me :? , so all the info you can give me, please teach me all the tricks.
Francis
yeah they are all the device called himalaya which htc makes
though the orange one have different buttons then my qtek2020
about the 2003SE then i havent made the switch myself because some people talk about bluetooth isseus with 2003SE as in not being able to sync with it
and also it's translated from chinese so it's not a purebred WWE rom
isn´t there a purebred wwe available?? or an english version? like I told before, it´s quit new for me.....
HTC for example doesn´t provide a update of the OS, in the form of a WM2003SE?? is this the only place where I can find OS for the MDA2 or are there more usefull places?
tnx Francis
as far as i know there is no official english version of 2003SE for himalaya
only the ones users have translated
htc never release any roms they release them to tmobile, o2, qtek and imate and who ever sell humalaya devices
Hi guys,
I'am a newbie here, especially with ROM upgrades... Recently, I have just upgraded my O2 XDAII from WM2003 t0 WM 5.0. After a few days of using WM 5.0, It's mass software incompatibility cools me off and I'm deciding to downgrade back to the ROM which I'm originally used.
So guys, is anyone of you has the original WM2003 ROM image from O2 for XDAII? If you have, please kindly provide me a link, so that I could download it.
Other than that, is anyone of you also have the original WM2003SE 2.20 CHS ROM image from O2 for XDAII, as well? If you have, please also kindly provide me the link, as well.
However, original WM2003 & WM2003SE ROMs from non O2 is also acceptable... But I think I would prefer the one originally for O2.
Thank you very much.
Caesar

Hi there all! I have found great info on this site.
I just upgraded (thanks to your help all of you) from 1.66 GER to 1.72 WWE.
My (possibly stupid) question is if there is possible to upgrade from 2020 to 2020i. ...???? :?: :?: :?: :?: ???
I am asking this because the greek seller of the brand (http://www.ace-hellas.gr/qtek or www.qtek.gr) is offering the upgrade software for 2020i and has some advantages when writing in greek (such as T9 or probably also handwriting recogniser.
Do you think there is going to function ok when installed at the 2020 ..?? only the camera and the wifi are diffierent aren't they?
i will highly appreciate any hint that is going to be even slighlty helpful!!
thanks a lot!!!
:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
Thanks for the information
Hi any one know if there's any New WWE Rom for the Qtek 2020 i
and if yes from where i can download it.
@ niemalsaufgeben
You can't use a 2020i rom on a 2020. They're made by the same company and look the same but that's where it ends. Behind the looks they are totally different.
@ streanger2000
ftp://xda:[email protected]_XDA_IIi_Upgrade_v1.11.162_Radio_1.3.rar
This is the most up to date rom that I'm aware of, although it doesn't have blackberry support.
thanks
thanks for the response.... that is what I have been afraid of...that they only look alike!!
thanks again....of course i will not try to upgrade to 2020i
Hello Guys!
I have a JAMin G4 that a marketing company gave me for a daily survey.
It's software branded by WIND (an italian mobile provider). I'd really love to flash it with a WM6 ROM but I didnt do that because I'm afraid I won't be able to restore it as it was when they gave it to me.
So...
Is there a way to back-up my original WM5 rom, flash the WM6 and, when it will come the time to give back the Jamin to the owner, flash back my original WM5?
I've tried to find the answer with the "Search" but nothing came up...
Can you help me?
Thanks in advance,
Bodhi3
Nobody can help me?
The wiki has the answer (as usual)
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Prophet_Rom_Dump
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.

Where can one get the SDA_ApplicationUnlock.exe? the superCID thread didn't mention where to get it or either i missed it... anyone out there to help me??
Thanks,

(If i succeed in doing this.. i'll make an Utimate WM6 for STRTRK guide)

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.
