Upgrade Dopod 838

Hi all,
I'm in the state of buying a Dopod 838.
But before I do I need to know if it can be flashed with an English (WWE) rom!?
I'm not an asian and I dont know the Chines language at all.
But the device looks so much cooler
Can I buy it and work with it here in Holland with an English Rom without problems?

Dopo 838 WWE
You should note that there's also a version with WWE (that is what I have)
Arnon

Yes I know that.
But I would like to flash the latest iMate rom into it.
Is that possible?
And besides (I think) it looks better what are the advantages or disadvantages of the dopod against the other models (vario, qtek 9100, k-jam)?
I heard the dopod is a wiza100 and the other models wiza200 .
Does that make any differences?
Thanks in advance.

I have a Dopod 838 and I have successfully flash it with the K-Jam ROM. No problem at all.

Thanks for your answer!
Makes me a feel a little more better
Are there any (dis)advantages between the devices?
Or are the really the same and is only the cover different?

But isn't that a software related issue?
I think when you flash it with another rom you can get G and B...

Just use the wizard unlock tool to unlock the CID, then to go clubimate ftp site to download the latest ROM update program and run it. That's all. Of coz you can backup you rom using some tools.
I don't have a 802.11g router so i can't confirm about the b and g thing. But i believe on the hardware side 838 and k-jam are the same.

DoPod 838 wwe rom will be release in few days. Please wait!! It's 58 MB.

Flash Dopod 838 with different ROM
Can you kindly advise more detail how to flash Dopod 838? procedures?
Where is the wizard unlock tool? Can you advise the link? Where is the backup tool? How to change to bootloader mode? Where is the ROM file located at? I need a Traditional Chinese ROM for Dopod 838.

Flash Dopod 838 CHT to WWE

Dear brother,
I want to flash my Dopod 838 from CHT to WWE (Eng). Can you tell me which provider ROM (RUU) is latest and fully support the 838 hardware such as Keyboard, WiFi and BT...? Thank you.
PDAMAN

The Qtek RUU (2.17) is what I use on my Cingular 8125 (same as Dopod 838) so I imagine you should be good to go.

Why change keyboard code? It's not for same keyboard layout support? Is KJam better support 838 than Qtek? thanks

I was in Shanghai last week and picked up a Qtek 9100 that had a CHS rom on it. I didn't need a CHS device anymore so I flashed the QTEK with the latest Wizard/Cingular WWE ROM and it works fine. You should be able to go to the ftp site and download the latest QTEK 9100 WWE ROM that is posted and you should be good to go.

Send me a PM, I can lead you step by step...

dopod rom gone from FTP??

There was a dopod 2.2x rom (wwe) available on the ftp a while back. now, it appears to be gone?!?!?
anyone know where it went :?: :?:
thanks in advance!

all Dopod roms are on the ftp under Wizard/Roms/Dopod
They cannot be deleted by ordinary users.
I might be that someone deleted the rom you want while it was in the upload area.

the rom definitely exists, see http://forum.mypdacafe.com/viewtopic.php?t=9669 for details.
could someone please upload it to the ftp?
thanks in advance!

uploaded to the ftp site now, enjoy (upload section)

And i couldn't find any Charmer radio on prophet forum. There were different versions of 2.69 GSM , what is the one for Charmer?
