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

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, QTEK was working OK, now device is stuck in splash screen.
I NEED HELP! I can not download it from O2 due to my IMEI number being too new, so anyone w/ an older english O2 mini, please help me out!
Thanks!
I wish I could help you out, but
I wish I could help you out but, I have the same problem as you somewhat. check out this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=18238. Futhermore, now that I read that so many people are have major problems, I will stay with my original MDA compact ver.

Thanks for the attempt to help but this link seems to be dealing with the Dopod 818.
I don't read Chinese so what I need is for an early O2 customer to log onto the O2 website and download the original, English ROM package (the whole thing would be best) and upload it somewhere...
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.
Ro
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.
Not quite. sure I got your heart racing.
BUT i'm sure some genius could cook us a prophet ROM using it.

Already working on this in beta
Better to continue here indeed
I've downloaded the file and noticed that it's not an EXE like other updates. Believe you even have to install it from SD-Card.
If there is anything somebody can help with, just let us know

From the first look, it will be tricky, it's missing things in the OS
however, It might be possible to get drivers for the missing parts from other ROMs (AKU 3.2 or official 2.2)
I will post progress in this thread
jesterz, if you do cook us up a rom can you use the official qtek as the base rather than pdamobiz, all those roms you did based on that one have been rock solid.
is it support dopod 818pro?

I couldn't find info if there is a difference between the Dopod 818Pro and Dopod 818. If there even are two different types? But it seems to me that the Dopod 818 (pro?) is yust another Prophet, so the answer would be: Yes

that's right
i need flash my current rom

this is going to be a hard one people
the buildimage stops on certain dll files, so it's a one by one process
meaning it will take time ! (I have a full time job next to this....)
however i'm still trying
In the mean time, I'm also looking at farias ROM released for the wizard and hope to have a beta out soon for the prophet.
Thanks for the update Jesterz! We'll stay tuned
