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.

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.

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.
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.
Hello there.
I have a Dutch M600 (all the text is in Dutch) and it is quite, well, cumbersome. Is it possible to reflash it with some default (non-branded) let's say QTek S200 English ROM? I'm quite new to this and I do not know if the fact it was sold as custom-branded will make any problems.
If it is possible, give me some pointers (thread links, etc.) I searched but I didn't find this specific case to be touched. Thanks in advance.
Cheers

From what I understand the M600 is just a HTC Prophet, so yes you can flash a standard Qtek s200 WWE like this (the last official Qtek release) ftp://xda:[email protected]_S200_2.20.7.34_2.47.21_2.20.7.114_WWE.zip
As you're going from dutch to english you need to use the novendor romupdate utility ftp://ftp.xda-developers.com/Prophet/Tools/ROMUpdateUtility-NoVendorID.zip or another option is to CID unlock your M600 (for now only possible on G3 devices) It's all pretty simple, use search and read the forum and it will get you there.
In case of doubts, just ask, succes marl

Thank you , mate!
Your answer is exactly what I was hoping for. Until now I'm using M500 and because it has WWE F/W i wasn't interested in all these technical terms. Could you tell me what does it mean CID, AKU, and the other abbreviations that one can see here on the forum? How can I discover whether my Prophet is G3 or G4?
Cheers
one more thing. how can I make a backup so i can revert to the original ROM? just in case i need to get it repaired or i want to sell it. is it possible?
cheers

CID= Country ID (basicly it's prrotection so you can't use other firmware then the one your provider supplied) G3 device can be CID unlocked easly, G4 devices not. Check the last digits your bootscreen, if you see x.xx.000 it's G3, if you see x.xx.001 it's G4)
AKU= Adaption Kit Upgrade= Upgrades to the OS, provides fixes and new features (Like pushmail for example). Check out this URL http://www.mobile-review.com/pda/articles/wm-aku-en.shtml

CID unlocked devices you can backup to SD using terminal software over USB, use search on the forum. CID locked devices are a different story, but the XDA ftp contains most orginal vendor firmware. Most of the time restoring is not really an issue. Keep in mind that you can not downgrade IPL/SPL once you upgrade. You can downgrade the Extrom, OS and Radio without touching the IPL/SPL so this is normaly no issue.
Ayo, marl
Ok Folks
Got a bit of a problem here, need to send my Exec back to O2, but it's running WM6.
I'm searching the forum/web trying to find an original O2 rom, no luck so far, can anyone help me?
Tom
(I'm forced to post this on more than area of the forum because I'm really stuck here - sorry)
Does this help you?
I have the original O2 XDA Exec v1.30.162 ROM upgrade from September 2006. I believe this was the last iteration of official O2 ROMS for the Universal. Would that be any use to you?

I'd not found that page, but sadly because the XDA FTP is no more, they aren't available. (Unless I'm missing something?)
Thanks all the same.
As an aside, I have found a ROM 1.13.188 from BuzzDev, however when I stick in on the phone then perform the factory reset rather than getting the boot image I get a corrupted screen and it stops.
Any ideas? I was wondering if it was older than my bootloader or something (2.01).
Tom
I found the original O2 ROM on O2 page, will get you a link when I get to my office.
O2 XDA Exec Orignal ROM (WM5)
Hi enigma1nz,

Thanks in advance.

Hello to everybody,
anybody has got an official version of this rom or know a place to download it? I think a WWE version of that can be fine.
Thanks

Yep that's right. Not only that T-Mobile didn't yet release 6.1 for the Vario III, they don't even provide any kind of an update for the old 6.0
Acoording to their regulations of course, you wouldn't need this ROM since you're not supposed to replace it anyway...

T-Mobile vario 3 official rom
Can't use the reconstructed cause my hard-spl had a bad installation and my kaiser stucks in the boot mode , so only an original rom that doesn't check for country and vendor IDs can save me.
I don't need an update , but just any version installable on this device to let me install in the right way hard-spl.
In my Diamond the hard-spl installation was fine , I was unlucky with the kaiser , mtty commands can't help me , just proved.

The version you need doesn't exist...
edit: What's on the phone now? The normal SPL? But a cooked ROM??!!
Since that's impossible to my knowledge I assume that you are stuck in Bootloader with the normal SPL and the official ROM is still flashed but doesn't boot. If that's the case you might hypothetically (I'm not suggesting you do ;-) )try taking it to a T-Mobile store and tell them it just stopped working.
maybe you´ll find help in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=371154
or you can pm one of the masters...
Unfortunately I'm from Italy and there' re no T-mobile sellers in my country.
Normally I should not use that phone , taken from ebay at very cheap price.
I must be patient and wait for an update from tmo for the vario III ...
thanks to everybody
