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...
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

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
Hello people.
Yesterday i tried to upgrade my i-mate JAMin to WM6 but i couldn't do it.
anyway, because i couldn't upgrade it to WM6, after i upgrade to 2.40 WWE when i arrived at home i've tryed to upgrade to 2.13_Portuguese_ROM...
Here was when the problem started.
When updrade started, at 1% the problem ocurred... message ERROR.
From what i've read I need a flash ROM, I'm desperate...
Can any one help to find the flash ROM and how to recover my PPC?
Best Regards
Thank's in advance.
(Faria, ajuda-me! sei que podes fazê-lo nem que seja orientando-me em português...)
where did you get 2.40 WWE
you need No Vindor ID to install the ROM
please give your IPL SPL (G3 or G4), what error message?
but your problem can be solve I'm sure, don't do anything you don't know what it is
ask before every step !!!!!!ok
Again, would people please read through the forum carefully before starting a new thread and ask the same questions over and over again. It is not that I am mean (just getting old), because any new thread will take time to read. Why not the person who need answer to read first and save other people's time. I found this forum contains so much information that most problems people generally ask are well covered one way or the other.
you may right, but human is talking here, we are not machines, human did mistakes and sometimes even if read it new people hard to get it, they need it step by step
if you don't want to help please don't reply, leave it a lone and it will go to the end with no replies
I've seen a lot of replies like yours witch they are not nice I think they have to be deleted
sorry for beeing rude, but we are human

Hello paradis, and everyone else.
Thank you for you quick reply and support.
Starting to answering your questions:
- My i-mate is G3
- ERROR [320~328] : INVALID COMMAND
These errors seldom occur. However, if one of these errors occur, it could not be recovered and the device had to be sent back to the customer service center. In this case, you have to flash a new ROM code.
About the ROM 2.40..., i'm confused and since i can't read my i-mate i don't know the correct version but it was downloaded here in this forum.
Regards
reinstall the 2.20.7.37 wwe using the NO VINDOR ID NVID
look for RUU_Prophet_220734_2207114_024721_NVID.exe you can find it here
then unlock CID see the WIKI how to
and then install any ROM you want

As I said before, the feedback for this rom is just... GREAT.
Better than this only if it was in Portuguese (for me, off Corse), because in these rom theres no Portuguese GPRS configurations.

I done several searches and I don't see this but is anyone working or have a rom for WM6.1 upgrade of an ATT Q9 Global (Q9h)?
Does anyone have any suggestions?

I am having the same problem. I've done several extensive google searches, and haven't been able to find any kind of download link to WM6.1 ROM, or a North American ROM, for that matter.
Anyone out there have any advice?
theres a forum called Q9forums or something, here u can get a new rom version
OR
use motorola software update. Where to find? Googlit
The web site you want is:
www.everythingq.com
The update is not available yet. Even at everythingq.com. AT&T is holding off on releasing it for some unknown reason. My guess is that AT&T has new phones coming out with WM 6.1 and they are affraid that releasing the update to WM 6.1 will hurt the sales of those new phones.
WM 6.1 for the AT&T Q Global has been completed since at least April 1st. Microsoft gave 50 AT&T branded Q9h's at a CTIA preview event on April 1st. Those 50 Q9h's had WM 6.1 on them with all the AT&T customizations already done.

AT&T hasn't given the go ahead to Moto to release it, so currently, using Motorola software update is useless and even if you try, it says there is no update for your phone.
Ok this rom is released i have it on my own motorola forum

I also had a perfectly unlocked Q9 and now locked to AT&T...
And none of the unlocking services I tried have codes for unlocking it since its not on the AT&T IMEI database.
Does anyone have an unbranded unlocked Q9 they can be so kind to dump the whole ROM and share it with us?
I think this should be the only way now of reverting our situation.
What are your thoughts?

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.

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
