Hi !! everybody
I'm kinda new here. ...anyway, I'm waiting for my magician to be delivered next week. Can anyone tell me, which rom is the best rom for magician ? (compare for all brands - T-Mobile, iMate, O2 or what so ever) - which all aspects such as camera, bluetooth etc......
Thankz in advance.....
Ps...sorry for my terrible english
Your English is OK.
The T-Mobile ROM is supposed to be better than the Imate ROM because users of the Imate ROM complain about the speaker sound quality.
...but the T-mobile ROM is locked...or am I wrong... :roll:

The ROM doesn't dictate wether the phone is locked or unlocked.
The SIMLock does.
As far as I'm aware, the only locked Magicians are the T-Mobile ones from the Netherlands.
German T-Mobile MDA Compact is not locked.
I have bought my I-mate JAM from expnasys...and it is unlocked...so I can just update with the T-mobile ROM...and it will work as unlocked?....it is an English or German ROM?

Primoz
p.s. I`m a new JAM owner...sorry :roll:

The process of updating to the English or German T-Mobile ROM is not difficult but the guide is not very well written.
It's not a simple update either.
Ok thanks, i will flash my rom with the T-mobile rom then!
But wich one, I believe there are more then one englisch T-mobile roms flying over the net, or am I wrong?
Could you please post the link of the rom we need?
thanks for your help!
Oh and could you tell me how to change the extended rom?

I don't know how to change the extended ROM.
I used the English ROM fro the download on www.compactjam.com
One of the messy steps in the process is copying the old ROM's header to the new one.
After i read many topics in this forum.....I think each one have its goods and bad points.....so my question is "Is it possible to combine and flash different rom together?". I mean sth like main rom is from T-Mobile, extended Rom is from iMate, camara patch from O2.....sth like this
pS : Thank for all the answer,everyone.....

I don't get the ROM versioning
I have recently acquired a T-mobile MDA in the Netherlands (Yes, it's locked! Don't start 'bout it!)
I got rid of the T-Mobile skin and colours, so i have some experience at working with ext-ROM, but I don't get the versioning thing.
According to my system settings I have ROM version 1.01.00 WWE (ROM date 10/21/04)
Radio version 1.00.10
extROM version 1.01.124 WWE
Do I have a prehistoric ROM version or what?
Should I upgrade? (I hear that T-mobile rom's are good)
And if i upgrade to, say, an I-mate ROM should I use xda3nbftool to change provider settings. (what does that xda3nbftool do exactly?)
Thnx in advance.

First let me say I am sorry for the multiple posts. This same message is on the general Magician forum. I think I shoul dhave placed the message here.
Please help!
----------------
I bought my Magician on eBay and it is the best phone I have ever had. The phone is amazing. But of course 2 months have passed and I am dying to improve the phone. The Brand is a DOPOD 818, which is the HTC Magician or iMate JAM.
I see everyone here has the ROM 1.06, mine is 1.01.00WWE with a ROM Date of 10/21/04/ I am sure I should be upgrading my ROM for the enhancements but I am not sure how or where to go.
Everyone says to go to Club iMate but unfortunately my IMEI is registered through DOPOD and not iMate. The DOPOD site does not look like it has an updated ROM.
Can I use a generic ROM? Where can I get one? I am in the USA using T-Mobile, if that helps.
Please let me know what I should do.
Thanks,
John
you will need to do a lot of readings before upgrading... and if your device doesn't have any problems then don't upgrade... the latest version from imate is really bad.. i have tried it and went back the old one which 1.03.00 ... anyways go to this ftp ftp://xda:[email protected]/Magician/
and you will all the latest ROMs....
Thank you for the information.
I will look into upgrading from the 1.01 to the 1.03.
John
Sorry to bother again.
Anyone know the difference between the following?
Dopod 818 CHT 1.03 Extended Rom
Dopod 818 CHS 1.03 Extended Rom
John
Hy Guyz!!
Does anybody know (have the O2 german rom) where i can download the german (O2) rom for the Xda Neo.
Thanks in advance.
Next
Would be interested as well :lol:
I've a new O2 with german rom, I'm searching abot OS ENG ROM or I prefer the ITALIAN rom.
Before I delete my GER rom, If you want I can dump this for you. Do you have a O2 ENG or (the best) ITA rom (Qtek or i-mate)?.
I've a new NEO O2 with german rom, I'm searching abot OS ENG ROM or I prefer the ITALIAN rom.
Before I delete my GER rom, If you want I can dump this for you. Do you have a O2 ENG or (the best) ITA rom (Qtek or i-mate)?.
I've finally got mine backed up before i flashing it with i-jaming newest rom. But it is backed as dump. .. and as far as i know, to reflash it back later (i.e. if you/have want to), it has to be a .nba format. but i do not know how to convert it to that format.
If anybody knows how please let me know and i'll post the finished product here.
Thanks
Peace
ummm ... i would kindly appreciate if someone could backup its current ROM and upload it to xda ftp.
What ROM, OS, RADIO version is this? Currently i have the Qtek German ROM (see signature). Is the EXT ROM also available?
Regards,
Falk
I am also very interested in flashing mine to an english rom (qtek, etc), but I do also want the option of going back to the GErman Rom if need be...but, i have not seen the original German (Neo) rom posted. Does anyone know where this can be found? The O2 site has nothing....
thanks...
folks, the german (or whatever languaged roms) mostly pop up as soon as the carrier (o2, tmobile, orange, ...) or oem (qtek, imate) have a update rom available, so it is usually no problem to install your prefered rom now and then go back to the original as soon as you want to sell the device. also if you think that switching the rom may harm your warranty:
1) it's always possible to f*ck up the rom version you have on your device in case of a hardware issue (simply start any update and the unplug the usb), so your beloved device becomes a paperweight and noone can say what rom you've used; 2) would changing the os on your desktop pc harm any warranty? no. so there you go whenever someone asks.
you don't need to change the cid of your device, there's a modified upgrade_utility, so you can always go back to the original state of rom as soon as your carrier releases one.
go update now ...
cheers, lutz
aaaaaand by the way: the xda neo (prophet) german rom from o2 is now available officially here: http://www.o2-online.de/o2/kunden/technikundeinst/exclusive/xda/xdaneo/index.html?nidx=1 go get it and be happy

Thanx man.
Hi,
I am expecting my German XDA in the mail in the next few days.
I have been reading this forum for the past 2 weeks, and have tried to wade through all the great advice to educate myself on ROM upgrading issues. I would like to clarify that I understand this properly.
As I understand, in order to render my new XDA "O2-free" and customizable, not to mention english, I need to install a new ROM - probably the latest Imate ROM or maybe the PDAMobiz ROM.
Before I do this, should I Unlock the CID? From my reding, this will allow me to the install any ROM.
Is this an accurate understanding of everything involved?
Are there other better options to achieve my goal of a non-branded non-operator specific Jamin/Neo?
Is there a way to save my original German O2 ROM if it became necessary to return the unit for service?
I hope people do not object to thsi post. I know that it can be irritating when newbies post on topics which have already been discussed thoroughly. I have spent at least 2 weeks trying to educate myself on the procedures, and really would just like if some knowledgeable contributor could reassure me that I have not missed something obviuos.
Thanks,
Ronan

I'm still updating the page, but its working fine for my dutch s200 (now english dopod rom)
Hi,
I tried to follow the steps as outlined, but when I get to teh first soft reset, the device locks, and I can do nothing with it!
Please tell me how to fix it. Can I use bootloader?
How?
Thanks,
Ronan
Crisis averted!
Got into bootloader and installed the dopod rom.

Dear Ro,
have you upgrated your PDA?
Can you write your procedure?
Best regards
Daniele
please, read this topic and tell me what you think about it...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=54878
I entered bootloader then used the Dopod ROM with the modified romupdateutility.
I have not tried anything else.
Does anyone know of a solution for us SPL 2.15.0001 users? We seem to be very restricted in options.
Ro
Please, can you write the links where it is possible to download this rom and all the necessary files?

Thanks dears,
I have updated it with Dopod rom......but now....how can I update to I-mate JAMin (italian) rom?
Does someone have an Idea to how do it?
Thanks, thanks, thanks
Daniele
Yes, you have to go to ftp.clubimate.com there you can find the JAMin ROM's and also you can choose the language you want.
As you know, first, you must CID unlock, then you can download your favorite ROM. Tell us your opinon after install it.

das mooi!
I never thought it would come thanks for letting us know :x downloading it now.
Of course this new rom probably doesn't contain any new upgrades to the phone than already known/listed on this forum.. but you never know
EDIT: As I tought: this ROM (the ENG-version) already exists for a while; it's quite old actually..
> it's just translated to dutch and posted on smartmobility.nl, so that it's official.
So it's nothing new and certainly no WM6-update like some people thought!
grtz
jammer
perhaps just an updated ext rom?
Could you all stop downloading the rom? My d/l speed is down to 2Kb/s
Just kidding tho...
It's probably the same rom as the Swedish one only with radio rom 2.61.21...

I'll post it on a faster server once my downloads are done.....(ETA when i'm 85 at this speed....)

Hi Jesterz
could you explore the rom and post your experiences here? just in case there's any difference with the swedish 2.2 WWE-rom or the AKU2.2 you made
I also provided extra download links:
- here's the dutch version
- here's the english version
grtz
They look the same, however they have put the latest Radio ROM in there, I havent checked it fully yet, going over some small things and the ext rom

How can I update my O2 Xda(UK) to the new ROM? The update progress starts when opening the downloaded files, but whit in a minute, I get the error invalid vendor id[294]. current ROM is a 2.15.x
thanx in advance!
try one of the CID unlock things (search the forum)... It provides you with all the files necessary to upgrade, except the nb.nfk (or something like that), which is in the rom itself. This is a bypass to the vendor lock....
Qtek S200 Upgrade - English Ver.
Upgraded my phone with the latest ROM release. My phone works much, much better now and it’s more stable than before.
A Major improvement, I use to suffer from phone suddenly switching it self off. Or when on charge with USB cable it would not come alive after disconnecting the cable. Highly recommending this upgrade!

Hi,
I belive this rom is related with this topic
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=330119
should be nothing new, just a correction for this specific issue,

Joao
Yes, please someone upload it to megaupload / rapidshare...
Love to have a ROM for backup...
xD
is this a wwe rom upgrade or a french upgrade
I hope it is WWE, and I really hope I can have it for BAckup purposes...
It's only a French rom update.
But it's a full rom, not only Radio.
My ISP is really slow and I can't up it to rapidshare.
I'll try again later or Sunday (Tommoriw is Kippur )
