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,
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...

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.

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.
Hi all,
Just like to know if I could use any ROM with any HTC variant device such as using HTC Universal ROM for DOPOD 900 ?
Thank you and regards,
Techx.
Flame... Flame... Flame...
Universal is the product code of HTC, Dopod 900 is a brand use by Dopod. They are the same.
Please make an effort to read a little more before asking.
The HTC Universal is equivalent to:
O2 Xda Exec
Dopod 900
I-Mate JasJar
QTek 9000
T-Mobile Mda Pro
Orange SPV M5000
Vodafone v1640
For more info on HTC rebranders check out: http://www.gsmarena.com/htc_pocketpc_smartphone.php3
(And yes, they are all cross-compatible and use the same hardware)
one last question
OK guys,
sorry to trouble ya all again, I do read the posts but sometimes I guess my understanding of it all is not quite up there yet
Anyway, I have KPN's Qtek 9000 ROM. version is: UNI_QTEK_WWE_13077_130176_10900_WWE_Ship.exe
If I flash this ROM to my O2 Exec (ROM Version is 2.50.00 WWE) and Radio is (1.09.00), would it be any issues with it ?
Thanks again guys.
Techx
there wont be issues as long as you do it right. You need to extract the nbf files, put them along with ROMUpgradeUt.exe file (search the forums for it), put your device to bootloader mode and then run the exe to flash your device. Look around the universal wiki for more info!
Hi all,
Thanks for the info guys, I managed to get the ROM upgrade. But I guess I screwed during the process. I unlocked the Extended ROM and did hardreset after the ROM upgrade. But I guess I lost the original extended ROM, but I couldn't flash the Qtek's Extended ROM now. It's keep giving me the country error ID even though I used the NOID updating tool.
Any steps to follow guys?
TQ.
Techx
Hi i'm a newbie this is my first post I have a SPV M700 that has been unlocked, since the unlock i cannot use my tomtom6 as i cannot get a gps signal, i understand that i need to download and install a radio rom with gps but i am unsure of the procedure and where to download despite some searching. i understand that this is a common question and has probably been answered many times over but like i said i'm new to this game and i'm not very knowledgeable about radio roms and flashing, any help would be greatly appreciated

Hello,
I recently bought an o2 branded orbit 2 (touch cruise)
I bought the device for work but the software i need to install does not run on wm6.1, only 6.0
Can anyone tell me if it is possible to downgrade the phone? Any tips on how and where to get the required os version will be very much appreciated.
I look forward to nay replies.
I have searched the forums on Roms but cannot find anything specific to my problem.
Kind Regards
