Is it possible to install WM6 on an I-Mate SP5 ?

hi all
anyone know how to install WM6 on an I-Mate SP5 ?
I've tried this but always run into problems.
1) SPV-Services errors with -2146893818
2) lokiwiz errors with "could not update itsutils.dll"
I have confirmed that i have an active connect to activesync and can sync if needed.
please help !

well, i have had the sp5 rom on my 2125, and i am now running the wm6 va alpha.
either way, i had a lot of slow down issues with the beta version. if you get past the CID unlocking, install the alpha version instead.
also, are you getting that error when you click the CID Tool option?

I-Mate WM6 Installation
Hi, I installed WM6 on my SP5 yesterday and so far all is working well. I followed the instructions as set out on the link below with the exception of item number 10.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=321408
Although i used the Perfect English version and not mobile 6 Beta, everything works as planned:
1. Flashed with WM6GSMUPDATE.zip
2. Used SPV-Sevices client and run the CID tool.
3. Disabled USB and entered bootload mode
4. Run TeraTermPro and edited as described in that post.
5. Flashed with Perfect English WM6 ROM
6. Downloaded the Short_AP1 ~ Short_AP4 and unzipped to /windows : http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=46839&d=1186790764
7. Soft Reset.
I had a problem with my contacts due to me not backing up correctly. DSF made a suggestion which has resolved the problem: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=323136
Regards,
Alex.

The problem is that the SPV-Sevices errors with -2146893818 so i can't superCID.
exactly what do i need to do with SPV-Sevices to SuperCID the phone ?
this is driving me nuts, i can't even update the ROM with WM6GSMUPDATE.zip, when i do, the ROM update utility goes through it's passes, the indicator progresses to 100% but when the phone reboots, it's still at ROM version 2.5.331.2.
nothing is working !

how does one app unlock the phone ?

With this
App unlock, Super CID, Format BINFS, then run the updates

Hotsync your phone to your computer and run SDAUnlock. I hope it works for you.
After you upgrade to WM6 you will need to run one of the button fix files associated with the rom. Otherwise your contact and messaging buttons wont work.
whoops too slow tx karhoe

I got the same error when i tried to unlock using the application. Had to use the registry editor and set to entries, after that I could run the st servies app to super cix, then all worked well on my sp5. Bin running wm6 english since last week thursday.
Only prob i have is when my screen goes black, sometimes it actually goes white like when you activate the flashlight application. Also had to disable the light sensor as during the day it was making the screen so light that i couldnt see my screen.

application unlock, then supercid. that -2364527465 problem is the application unlock problem.

it says "the phone in not unlockable"
i even tried re-flashing with the latest I-Mate ROM and tried app unlocking, no deal.
I can't even see the reg entries in HKLM\Security\Policies\Policies..
What gives ?

Weird. All I did to unlock my phone was to run the attached executable file and it was done. I also have an imate sp5 so I don't know why it is different for you. Just to make sure I am attaching my file. So you can try with it. By the way, I guess your activesync connection must be on when you run this tool. But I am no expert. Just try once more.

Did you reboot your phone anot ?

this is hopeless... still can't unlock.
do you think it's due to the fact that i'm running the latest i-mate rom, version 2.5.331.2 ?

Dont give up! try these apps. Run the cab from your phone. I think the exe runs from your computer and installs through activesync. Hope you have some luck soon.

Because the ROM comes with no T9 or xT9.
You should install one of these and then add your languages if you need.

may be that. before I upgraded to wm6, I never installed a new rom on my imate. So I don't remember what the rom version was, but it wasn't the latest.

Help.. three questions

1. Awhile ago I used Hard-SPL on my phone. If I hard reset my phone. Will I have to Hard-SPL again?
2. About ROM's I remember when I flashed a rom awhile back ago, I did it through MiniSD card. Can all ROM's be flashed through minisd? I've only flashed it once, so I wouldn't know.
3. Do I need to plug my phone onto my computer to flash the radio?

yes, you can flash through microsd, radio/os/splash screen it doesn't matter.

How do I flash radio through SD card? I tried downloading one and it is a exe file that I open on my PC..

I've tried downloading a few ROMs too and they are .exes
Anyone know which ROMs and Radios I can install through SD card?

there is a procedure on how to do it...please search. It's somewhere around. Maybe even a sticky.

Okay.. got it.

I would reccomend you just use a computer. Safer and secure. But good luck on your journey thou of flashing.

The safer part is debatable. It may be safer if you ise a UPS device. Otherwise a laptop or MicroSD may be "safer"

Have I Bricked My Phone???

I can not activesync. I am running windows vista 32bit on my pc. I installed ROM DK1 Final and activesync worked fine. To reset some setting i decided to hard reset my device. Since the hard reset I could not activesync again My pc says device unkonwn (a device attached has malfunctioned). I hard reset again and still not working.
I dont think it has anything to do with being on vista because ive synced with other dk roms including this one... However i just tried to use pocket mechanic to fat32 format my sd card and it says "error... a device attached to the system is not functioning" ... Have i bricked my phone????
I cant even SD flash the new ROM from bootloader with a clean fat32 formatted card

Lol, if you can use the phone, then you haven't bricked it. See if this works, go to start>settings>connections>usb to pc and disable that.

Have you rebooted your PC ???????

Please don't do things like this. You are already getting help in two other threads. You don't need to start a new thread for this issue. It's not even a Rom DEVELOPMENT issue. This isn't the "troubleshooting all kaiser issues" thread. You posted correctly the first time, and should have left it there

Hi, Had the same with this rom, just keep on trying to connect, did you also remove the battery and perform a soft reset? I flashed another rom and everything is perfect again. I could not find anything wrong but it took me some time to solve this....

I read something somewhere about something resetting

Updater stuck on 0%

As title says..
Can someone help? I tried running the Hard USPL Unlocker, if that's what it's called.
It didn't work
And for some reason, after I hard reset it, It doesn't go past the calibration screen..
Help?
Thanks in advance, cheers!

what was your method of flashing it? was it through the PC or SD Card?

If I have anymore problems I'll post it.
Is it possible for me to upgrade to 6.5 from 6.1 now?
Just wondering,
Again, Thanks!

u meant downgrade? if i were you id stick to 6.5 its very stable and fast
and no problem, just post if theres anything wrong with it

I think he meant to 6.5, anyways, if you got the HardSPL to flash, you're good to go with trying out the plentiful 6.5 roms. You don't need 6.1 to do it really.

RUU in windows 7

I just got a new computer, went to flash a new rom on my fuze and... not exactly sure how to explain... but i cant... anybody know any workarounds? i've tried one and it was a failure...

What type of errors do you get? Did you try again? we're really gonna need more info than that if you want help. there are no problems with flashing and windows 7.
if you want, you could always just flash via SD

Have you tried right-clicking then "Run as administrator"?

hope this helps

Moved as not ROM Development.

Or right click on RUU and Run as Administrator.
