Note: This is a custom firmware but it is DEFINITELY the best and should have been a company of its own! Damned it isn't. It even lets your mono bluetooth headset listen to music!!!!!
ROM OF THE YEAR!!!
Since HTC issued new IPL/SPL version 2.xx.0001, all tools that we use to cook the customize rom to be a single nk.nbf file can not be used because nk.nbf structure are different from the previous version. We were trying to hard to solve the problem. Futunately, we found the new method that save and convenince, because it will not touch with bootloader. Just active sync prophet with pc then run UPGRADE_ROM.bat.
This method can be used with any version of IPL/SPL of SPV M600, Qtek S200, i-mate JAMin, Dopod 818 Pro, XDA neo. Need not to unlock CID.
DAMobiz Customized Rom can be download from here:
http://files.pdamobiz.com/ROMs/XDA/...n_Upgrade_Rom_for_IPLSPL_2.15.0001_v.1.02.rar
Step by step to upgrade rom
1. Backup all data in Prophet, then hard reset it. You can also use the method of Clear Storage in menu, Start -- Settings -- Clear Storage.
2. After Hard Reset, tap at the screen 1 time, and stop at Align Screen.
3. Plug usb cable at Prophet to start ActiveSync, then click at Cancel.
4. Prophet will connect with PC as Guest.
5. Go back to folder that you unrar (www.rarlab.com) then click at UPGRADE_ROM.bat.
Wait....
Wait.... It's now finished with extended rom, then the next is OS rom.
6. After finish, you may hard reset by press and hold at Camera and Voice Dial, then depress at reset. Still hold camera and voice dail until you get the screen as below:
Press at send to format, then it reboots.
At the buttom left, it shows "PDAMobiz.com" that is pdamobiz customized rom. To get all program of pdamobiz customized rom, you have to let extended rom program install until it complete.
PDAMobiz customized rom has only 3 Thailand operators, you may add your own file before upgrade rom to "extrom" PC folder and autoconfig.txt to have your own country autoconfig.
Plenty of wonderful software, you may see the whole pictcure at: (sorry there is no translation)
http://www.pdamobiz.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=60019
If during upgrading you have some problem, and it stuck at bootloader 3 colors screen. Just download below files, run upgrade rom with that file, after you can boot normally, you can upgrade this customized rom again, becuase this customize rom need active sync only.

Thank you very much to itsme, the Administrator of http://www.spv-developers.com for his utilities, machinegod for enablerapi, buzz, the Admin of www.buzzdev.net for unlocker of prophet extended rom, RuChonburi for his customized rom.
By the way I make 3 very small utilities, those are sleep4 (wait 4 second), clattr.exe (clear file attribute of \extended_rom) and roattrib.exe (set read only attribute for files in extended rom), to automize the process to 1 click at UPGRADE_ROM.bat
Caution! There are some risks to upgrade rom, please use your own risk, we shall not responsible for any damage.
(TAKEN FROM A SITE CALLLED en.pdamobiz.com who created this ROM! They rock..forget about Imate roms and anything else! )
[Guys n' Gals - I've been asked to pin this. If you feel it doesn't need pinning, PM me. If you feel it's incorrect or misleading, let me know. If you are happy with it, comment below]
1. Anybody tried that on JAMin?
2. Any succes stories on DOWNGRADING back to JAMin Rom after this?
3. Is it FASTER(the overall working process) than latest I-mate's one?
4. Russian dialpad working with this one?
Not before i receive answers to that shall i try this out as if it's no satisfying on 3rd question there's no need in it for me, as i know how to install cabz myself, even though it may not be in 1 click, but since we're out of battery dead-data lost problem it's not a thing to worry anymore, and i cant say if i really need all that bunched into my tiny device.
1. Anybody tried that on JAMin? - YES!! ME!!!
2. Any succes stories on DOWNGRADING back to JAMin Rom after this? - You can never downgrade with Prophet after you hit the version 2.x systme without using 3rd party software roms.
3. Is it FASTER(the overall working process) than latest I-mate's one? - It autostarts with Omap clock at 240 speed and overall its about 3x faster than Imates latest 2.13 rom.
4. Russian dialpad working with this one?
- Yes
5. Note this - Battery Lasts longer (dont know how they did it. but it gave me 7 hours talk time compared to ImateJamins usual 4-5 NON STOP. weird...
More Notes - It has lots of nice software inside and basically makes you feel like its a fully loaded system and yet faster than ALL (Not just the last) Imate JamIn one. If you need my creditibility go to Imate jamin offiucial support forum (clubimate) and see my id shivam / shivamxp. Posted alot there before I dumped the Jamin Rom for this baby!
Not before i receive answers to that shall i try this out as if it's no satisfying on 3rd question there's no need in it for me, as i know how to install cabz myself, even though it may not be in 1 click, but since we're out of battery
ps - forgot to same . the exntended rom is also unlocked by default, a nice set of media players that play almost everything in video n music - mp4, divx ,etc. It has a great file manager. Bluetooth headset can grab any programs music or video whether it be media player or real media or some other program. basically all sound from ur device can get forwarded to ur MONO bluetooth (now even regular bts without stereo can get great sound n music).
Man, i DONT want device to start with omapclock and god, feels like u r so Xcited 'bout this that seems like YOU made this Rom. If there's no rollback, i pass it out.
http://en.pdamobiz.com/en/forum/PDAforum_posts.asp?TID=440&PN=1
are the guys who made it ...PDAMOBIZ...but i used it and was shocked to see it just so d*** good.
Ive used Prophet and seen it suck up as bad as an O2mini (no offence HTC Mag guys)...i used to have a o2mini ..moved to this and definitely both are sucky (speed n feature) just the compactness. Seeing this new rom, everything that made my views so negative are gone EXCEPT i still want a bigger screen the real vga..
anyways, dont install it if you dont wanna...just dont blame me if two weeks later theres a big hype and you say i didnt listen cuz i was too over occupied or wanted to wait...you can wait all you want...you sure wont lose anything..youll just be delaying your gain.
Look im comparing this rom against the current Roms of "Imate" and IMHO this rocks..sure wait as much as you want, but then again a guy who made similar posts earlier (check my post logs) about Imate Software and support on the forums there sucking...well your choice.
heyy shivam, looks promising, but can u possibly upload the rom somewhere? the link u supplied is ridiculously slow (1.3kb/s)
thx
lookin forward to trying this out as im not too impressed with my spv m600 after coming from the great jam
for the person who use XDA Neo, don't use this rom now as before using this rom, it is neccessary to unkock CID first, but the programmer of this rom said that he still haven't known how to unlock CID for device that has IPL 2.15.0001 and SPL 2.15.0001.Fortunately, he said that in a couple days, he will have a solution for this problem (to help you unlock CID) and then you will be able to use this rom on xda neo.
I have not much knowledge about this pda phone. However, I am Thai so that why I can understand all the topic in the original link of this rom. So I just want to translate this point to you guy to prevent you from wasting your time and any harm that might happen to your device.
Anyway, this rom is very good rom, have evreything you want, help your mobile much faster than before, and will help you a lot, so wait until programmer has solution for CID then upload it.
Has anyone with a Qtek S200 tried this?
I want to take the plunge and I have done lots and lots of ROM mods and upgrades to my former Himalaya and a friend's Blue Angel, but I would love to know if there is some way to backup my original ROM beforehand.
Thanks for the find tho!
P.S.- Can someone please upload this ROM to the XDADevs FTP????? the TX is really slooooooooow..... .4 kbps!!!
God bless!
Rayan
Ist it possible not to install some of the included programs ? (like vxutil, Regeditor, CallFilter, image maker, calculator,opera and Realplayer of course ...)
Like deleting them from the extrom before upgrading?
Reason is, that i already use some nice programs that i got used to, and i dont want to waste some extra memory on programs i will most likely not need.
Edit: any way to change the omap clock Startup MHz ?
Greetings
In order to avoid installing any unneeded software on the ExtROM, just Soft Reset just before they install after a Hard Reset.
Then you should go to the extended rom and manually install whatever apps you want by clicking on them.
Do you already downloaded this rom?
Can you please Upload it to the xda developers ftp?
That would be great...
Thanks!
Rayan
@Rayan - i know how to avoid installing the extrom - i was wondering if some of the programs are included in the normal rom.
Didn't download it yet - i will wait for some more experiences

Thanks for the upload matey.
Howdy Boys and Girls
Well I took the leap and installed the Rom described here, on a new Imate Jamin I bought last week down here in Australia.
The existing Rom on the Jamin was the latest from the Imate website.
"JAMin_WWE_213923_2139123_022021_ship"
First of all let me say that after upgrading to the Pdamobiz version, I was able to restore the Rom back to the original Imate version.
That should answer the questions of a few wondering if it's not all it's made out to be you can always go back to what you had.
Onto the new Rom.
The Jamin I have according to Omapclock runs at 180Mhz. With this Rom it was running at 240Mhz and I can tell you now this Rom is SLOW, very SLOW. With the original Imate Rom installed clocked to 240Mhz it screams along very nicely.
Some of the Apps installed with this Rom are also commercial versions requiring purchasing or "other ways around purchasing".
In fact come to think of it most of the apps were pretty ****ty and neither here nor there. Just my opinion expressed here.
Ultimately it's up to the individual preferences here and I'm certainly not taking anything away from the people who spent the time putting it together. It's a good effort.
In the end I installed it ... had a play with it for an hour or so ... dumped the Rom onto an SD card and restored the orginal Rom.
When I get around to it I'll install a few of the goodies like the A2DP stereo audio and the Extended Rom patch. They work
Thanks to original poster for making this Rom available in the first place and the guys who put it together.
Now it's up to you
Regards to all
Thanks for the info, Nudester. I was about to install this one on my XDA Neo (running JAMin on it now), but stopped after I read your post. Also, I do not like the application programs in that ROM, too, since I have purchased much better programs already. Your info is very helpful. thanks.

Thanks lvlx!
I'll DL tonite!
Peace!
ok, i installed this (thx lvlx for the upload, that link was just agrhhhhhhh ), and for the most part, i agree with nudester. speed is ok, althought i was getting better/more stable operation with the latest dopod rom on which it is based when overclocked with omap clock. a lot of the utilities are on the rom, and not the extended rom which means u cant remove them, and to be honest, most are overkill, like the are about 4 different sim utilities, nevertheless, some are pretty damn good. however i just dont like havin stuff that i dont need/use.
PROS:
decent rom (stable and quick)
loads of cool utilities
downgradeable
good with storage memory
pre-configured with most of the registry edits for speed, gps, etc....
CONS:
some utilities/programs are trials/unregestered
most utilities/programs are built into the rom
overkill, i mean why do u need all that stuff anyways?
---did i keep it? -----> NO
id rather have a clean oem rom that id play with myself and install what i want.
fair play to the guys at pdamobiz.com for creating it, coz it is good, and it gave me a lot of ideas, but it just wasnt my cup of tea 8)
Hello Every One,
I installed the ROM and agree with Nudester. Please Nudester tell me how to go back and load my original imate JAMIN ROM.
Hi There,
Ive been admiring the work of many here for a very long time.
I have owned a Blue Angel for about 18 months and a wizard since January.
The wizard has been flashed around 7 times in 4 weeks lol which is quite a bit for an HTC noob like me.
I have tried Orwells Rom (very stable for me) but then decided to upgrade to .mUn.'s rom as it was a newer version.
Unfortunately it wasnt quite as vanilla as I like.
Vanilla == No reg tweaks, No apps at all and no damned Cyberon!
Everytime I try to build myself a rom (tried Molski's kit and NotTooSmart's) I get a problem.
Dump decrypted NBA with Typhoon Tools
prepare_imgfs (with nosplit)
viewimgfs
hv > rgu
Added REGEDIT4 to the top line, saved as unicode, did everything correct as far as I know.
then back to hv's (yep right size, 750kb ish)
Then put it all back together. (incl the removal of bytes form initflashfiles.dat back to the first
1st Time with Molski's Kit = Booted fine, but would never load OS after a softreset
(few more attempts with the same kinda thing - failed )
Last time with NTS's kit = Stuck on the splash the IPL/SPL and would go no further.
Sorry for my ignorance, but what have I missed!
I hear about XIP sections and what have you, means very little to me!
I just want to build myself a rom on which I can mess around with :'(
Thanks Folks,
-Whiterat
When you remove the bytes from the front of the initfileflashes.dat file, what are you removing? It should just the FF, FE. Also, make sure you have English set in your regional and language options under the advanced tab.
If that fails, you may have a corrupt nk.nbf, since you've had BOTH kitchens fail. I would download a new ROM copy, dump and immediately rebuild and flash just to make sure you are properly going through that process. Then make one change at a time. It's time consuming I know, but you'll be wiser for the experience.
Peace,
JB

Thanks for taking the time to reply.
initflashfiles.dat should start with a ; (Since ; is used to remark lines) so I just remove back to that.
With regards to setting English, where abouts is the advanced tab? In what program even?
I did as you said with the nk.nbf and it goes on just fine without editting a thing
Its a pain testing these things, since I usually end up having to restore from SD which rewrites the extended rom, gsm, os, spash screen, htc screen,etc and then it takes ages for me to reflash my bits!
I can upload my rom if someone is willing to take a peek, see if I have missed something really obvious?
Too many files?
I had a similar issue (I think?) where everything seemed to work and the nk.nbf file was created OK. However there would be an error logged in the Windows Event Log about faulting an application. The resulting ROM image would install but I got a white screen following the reset (it made noises like it was working though). I followed the instructions for Molskis cooking tools to the letter and couldn't understand what the issue was I posted on here for some assistance but after I got no helpful replies I played around a bit more and realised the dump folder was slightly over 128MB (Size said less but I think it was over?). Anyway I removed some more files I didn't need and low and behold it all worked
I don't know what the absolute maximum size the dump folder can be, but I keep mine below 128,000,000 bytes....

Not talking about that...
You have to open up initfileflashes.dat with a hex editor and remove the first two bytes (FF, FE). Then you can put the file back into the dump folder and build it.

The dump folder of the last one I cooked said:
Size: 121 MB (127,089,811 bytes)
Size on disk 131 MB (137,654,272 bytes)
And this worked fine, it was a re-heat of Faria's Real Thing ROM where I re-added VoIP & Windows Update (VoIP works but Windows Update won't and I can't figure out why - the application fails to connect to the MS site and won't close, but that's another story.......).
Andy
Yep I get that, I am a reverse engineer by trade so naturally I get what the manual had to say.
The limitation of imgfs is IF there are more than 1500 files being added to nk.nbf, the file size limitation also applies.
I am not adding any files to the dump, simply removing the cyberon stuff (and removing the microsoft callbacks, and sqm stuff)
Tried buling without removing sqm stuff and same thing.
I guess its just not going to be my thing
Here's what to do.
Delete the current 84000000-os.nb file in the ROMDUMP folder, then remake it. That should solve your problem. I forgot that I had the same problem.
Ahh I will give that a go
I was hoping to pick up a half broken wizard from ebay (broken digitiser/blocked/missing case/etc) and just use it as a tester, since I get alot of people whining when I am uncontactable for 90 mins
(About the right time to fiddle, flash and reinstall stuff)
Hello,
I've updated my I-mate PPC to WM5, trying various different ROMS.
Everytime I reflash, all of my contacts, appointments, notes etc stay on the phone. Also the software I installed before flashing stays in the system. Is this normal? How do I get it to completely wipe everything and put on an entirely new system so it's like a brand new phone?
Also, the storage size stays at 14.57MB, which isn't enough. Why isn't it making it bigger to say 32MB or whatever the Rom is supposed to set it at??
Sorry if this is all just because I haven't read the instructions properly but I can't seem to find the solution to these problems.
Cheers,
Tim
you format diskinchip from the bootloader
any chance of getting some more info? doing a search for diskinchip gives me nothing... really all I want is more storage memory than 14.57 MB...
Cheers
HELMI SP2
Hi there
Use the ROM provided by moeya. Helmi SP2! Great rom.
Itll automatically give you 30mb storage, instead of 15mb.
All th details to format the chip is in th readme, provided with the download!!

i-mate PPC to WM5
Hello Tim,
please note that the upgrade from PPC to WM5 is not possible in some cases it can run and get installed but in most cases it might damage the device main board and in this case the device will no longer works and also note that the windows mobile 2005 is not easy to work on the 2003 operating system like what the PPC got. and also about the storage size on the PPC its not enought because of the programs that get installed with the operating system of the PPC and take from the size of the actual memory on the device i hope you take the advice in conisderation about upgrading to wm2005.
Brad
thanks guys I've installed the Helmi rom and am very happy with it...
one thing that I wish it had, that other WM5 ROMs have, is a memory icon on the bottom taskbar. Is it as simple as a registry edit?
Also, holding the on button down doesn't turn the backlight off anymore - is there a fix for this??
has anyone every cooked a custom ROM for the wizard for PDA use only? Most kitchens tend to include all the phone-related files, since obviously it would be used as a phone/pda.
I just recently upgraded to the Wing for $50, so I figured I can still get a LOT of life out of the ol' Wizard with WM6 on it. Was just wondering what would be a good ROM to maximize the inbuilt space for PDA-use only progs. (it does function well for simple portable gaming and mp3/video player) Of course auto-updating programs wouldn't be useful, since the phone wouldn't have a sim card to use to connect to gprs/edge...
[update] perhaps this is a very nonsensical thread...since rethinking the whole situation, the wizard isn't a phone that can free up space, because you dedicated less space to the rom...(i think the hermes was one that was referred to with that capability)...[/update]

do not be fooled by new touch releases, then...
it is waste of space and idea loss.
start from...xplore 1.1 then you will have...overall sight of wizard potential.
then, you will find kitchen...
then add tcpmp + plugins(0.81 + wise plugs),
then try gsplayer and DO NOT touch...touch.
golden era's dead,imo.
(you may kick me...but NOT in head)..plz.
yeah i figured touch would be a waste of space, but in general, have you or anyone ever built a custom rom, removing all the phone app related files? i think it took a few megs or so in the sys folder, if i remember correctly. Probably wouldn't hinder the use of the phone as a pda??
ahh, i figured out, what you need...
soft is not whole thing; if you want to get some space..., it may be good idea to remove:
- stk service,
- second one,
- radio/phone drivers,
- camera driver(~3 mb mem more, and >3-4.5 mb rom space more),
- wlive, if you aren't slave of the BIG one,
- optimise caches,
- do NOT try to use roms/kitchen roms with 8-10 pos kaiser ****(connmgr...)..
- if you do not need bt, wifi, you may want to remove its drivers too(drivers, files, and reg), you may try to kill whole connmgr in such case(deletion of whole thing in kitchen, hklm/init, files, etc),
- if you do not need java - remove midlet thing,
- remove mms,
- theres MUCH more to do...then(and i mean it).
you may take a look what potential have old roms for custom(i mean CUSTOM) build...
http://mobione.pl/forum/index.php/topic,663.0.html
despite using(rarely) phone module...
i can guarantee, that wizard will be MUCH better than you saw in that post with disabled phone module, just there's no possibility, that will be slower, than this.
i can say ,that wiz may have ~40-41 mb mem free, and whole storage free after such cuts.
then, you may use double_ofour's kitchen to make whatever you want to do....only thing is to find GOOD base rom, or good EDITABLE flash ROM(i mean RGU dumpable). xplore1.1 is good base for experiments, but mr.frazz's and double_ofour's roms are best for such things(i mean old ones, at last..). 1413 is most useful, imo.
----
sorry, masters of roms edit..it is just like i see weak wiz... it does not need new, 400mhz+ soft.
it is wizard.
sorry for bad english....
[update]
after your [update] i think it was not neccesary what i said.......
...
good luck, where is that new iphone skin, then...
lol...i think i'm gonna try to cook a rom without all those drivers anyway...perhaps keep the wifi aspect...just so that i can use it as a tablet-pc-like device around the house...surf the internet or im for free...well...assuming that it all works without the use of a simcard...since it's really not going to be dialing out anywhere. if so...cooking the roms without all that excess will supposedly free stuff up, since there'd be less files in /windows directory...it'll free up some ram, so that i could run the ol' gba/nes emulators...so...it might be worthwhile to cook something very bare...just for those needs...and removing the phone files...does free up a few files...and definitely that extra space...which could then be used to implement some basic files for definitely convenience...
just think why i am keeping >34 mb mem free possibility(yes, 32 mb gba translated to english mother 3 rom......).
simpliest thing is to use xplore 1.1, core kitchen(old one), remove camera drivers(hklm/drivers builtin /camera , cameradriver).
nothin more..
you may just remove poutlook, wifiinit, and other useless thing from /winodws/startup, and use wise(i mean wise) cache management( sd card =128 kb, cache mirror 128 kb, sound cache stripped to 256 kb,, glyphcache to 131072, and that's all....
you may get 36-38 mb mem free w that method w/o problem.
whatever you gonna do, good luck....
Just curious what peoples essentials are on this unit?
I have been having problems with my handset for some time now, and the memory card *appears* to be corrupt.
So doing a back up of all call logs, messages etc, and going to hard reset.
I will then attempt to update it to 6.1 *wasnt working before*
My Requirements?
Internet
Sat Nav
Games
Clean Theme (like a nice subtle black)
Alarm
Back Up Utility
So What would you guys recomend for the above and what cool features/tweaks can I do with this phone?
Just read my signature.
I think most members here would agree with my choice...
excuse my ignorance, but i see WWE is just the same as an HTC rom with the latest software, is this correct, no other changes?
Secondly, I currently run an 02 ROM, would i notice many differences and how would i go about getting my internet settings (Currently there is an application that retrieves these for me)
Hope you don't mind the silly question - I did read the info but couldn't be sure.
hello
i would say 2 apps i couldnt do without are no longer hosted on here but are g-alarm and g-profile found at www.ageye.de
Also if you want to 'risk' flash (read this) 3LIT3 as i was running the o2 6.1 rom since release till about a month ago and although it is better than the 6.0 rom it is much faster the 3LIT3 rom is superior to the official releases that have been made. Also on the settings front i was afraid of this and made sure i had them before i flashed but then they are installed automatically in customisation (with either officail or 3LIT3).
Sat nav i am guessing that you are using copilot in which case there is a releated piece on how to do this when you download the o2 rom from their site.
Back-up utility i would say either spb backup - but i have heard of problems going over from 6 -> 6.1 roms with using backup software so i say sync up before and copy any import docs that you have on their before you go to flash.
Hope that answers the questions
Well i managed to flash the unit with some interesting measures.
Long story short, I couldn't get into boot loader (Still can't) but when i ran 02 6.1 rom RUU it took it to the bootloader (just vista wouldn't work) so after some hunting i found a driver which worked, well sort of lol.
And then it worked, well for the 02 6.1 release any way.
Tried Co-pilot still having issues,
Tried memory card files, still problems - i think my memory card is knackered and some of copilot is configured there so will explain why this is failing!
Co-pilot was on the rom, presume that if it did load i would have to re-register but think i might opt for tomtom now, was never a fan of copilot.
Other than that i ran PPCPim backup which works really well for calls logs, messages etc. had no critical documents on there but did forget to back up my pictures - oh well no real loss!
Is there a way to format an SD from the device its self?
I have got to say i am NOT impressed with 6.1 from 02 its so slow! my ringtone doesn't even play properly.
Edit jesus this is rubbish, i mean seriuosly really buggy have i done something wrong because they couldnt have put this out as RTM surely?! please some one tell me i am wrong.
My ringtone stutters for goodness sake, i clicked data connection and the connection tab is now overlaying everything and won't go away!?

Hi there, Do a Hard Reset and start over again installing your PIM backup, GPS, any other things you normally use. Your GPS setup files are on the SD card in '2577' folder. Unless you have the CD media do not format your SD card, you will lose your GPS setup files.
The problem is I cannot transfer anything else to the memory card, I cannot install apps to the memory card.
Sometimes it looks like they have transferred but when i open storage card up on the device it's just the normal settings and nothing that I have transferred.
This is limiting me hugely, I cannot put mp3's, mp4's on my phone, I
cannot install games, I am left with just the basics.
Im going to buy an 4GB card today and see if that resolves things
