Official i-mate ROM release (1.40.176 & 1.12.00)

It's too good to believe:

I'm downloading now.

39.6MB (their server is really slow today)
From i-mate site:
The details of the new ROM image are:
For the Worldwide English Build:
ROM version: 1.40.00 WWE
ROM date: 03/10/05
Radio version: 1.12.00
Protocol version 1337.42
ExtROM version: 1.40.176 WWE
I think they waited until the pros on this site figured everything out first...then they just piggy-backed on their findings. Kudos to the real pros on XDA-devel!!!

How to install this rom in Spanish Qtek 9090, i'm new and y don't now very well to change the language.
Thank you!

imate update
I just got the update from the I-mate site and am working it with the XDA tools but I'm getting a checksum errors on the radio, NK, and MS filles. Should I be using a different tool? My device is a MDA III T-mobile german flashed to english. Any Ideas???

Downloaded, installed and running. No problems....yet. I can't find a config file in the extrom in order to make some changes, but there's a setup.exe file now. Not sure what that's about.
No idea how to change the language...I'm not good enough to know that.
More later.
Tom

So far so good. A couple issues. 1) the phone off (or flight mode on) is no longer activated by the Call End button. Shame...I loved that feature. 2) I have a problem turning the phone on (flight mode off) after a soft reset. I think it may be caused by the Contacts Button addin. The only way I can turn on the phone is to go into the keypad and then turn it on. All other methods cause the system to lockup.
Tom

Temporary copy...
Until someone puts it up on xda-developers / cooks it,
a MUCH faster loading copy is at

Great!!!!!
I'm downloading it right now!!
i-mate finally released it after 1000's of unkept promises!

FINALLY!!! Here's to hoping it will be better than the Qtek version!

Again, I would like to ask why there is no config file??? I take it setup.exe has the config file built in? If any of the pros can give me some feedback as to this, I would appreciate it. I'd like to drop in several cab files incase I fubar something down the road.
Thanks,
Tom
P.S. almost 6 hours and only the "turning on the phone" problem.

yes... config is missing...
will try out some combinations .
skype is taking 3.8 megs... i don't need it there.

Ture...true. Skype was fun the first couple times, but with VOIP at home, I really don't need it anymore. Still, kind of cool to show people...if you have someone that you can connect to.
Tom

Tried some combos, including, using the old config and setup files... nothing wrorks,
only thing is that any additional file found in ext rom is treated as a carrier customization file, and on selecting one file , that particular file will be installed..
also, i noticed that there is one config file in the windows directory.

Just take the Autorun.exe and config.txt from another rom, add in the cabs from the i-mate rom, and there you go.
Yeah, I will be removing Skype ASAP myself. I can understand how it could be useful, but for my purposes, it just takes up space.

The Setup.exe is way better then the config
Leave the setup the exe it is better then the config. with the config you have to site the and write a line for each cab file. the setup.exe automatically runs every cab file in the ext rom. whether you put it there or not. So when cookinh your extended rom no need to keep having to change the config.txt. The setup will run whatevers there.

You can find this new ROM at ftp upload folder hope MDAIIIUser can move to wiki , I will upload ext.ROM by tomorrow

Do I need to keep autorun.exe ? If yes, then which one old or new?

sunish, I can not imagine why it would not work. You must have made a mistake somewhere.
The WMP10 close problem still exists, which leads me to conclude that it is indeed a problem with the 1.40 CE Rom, and not something within the Extended rom muddling it up.
Has anyone seem any actual improvements with this rom over Qtek's? All of the same problems still to be in place. The extended rom has a few different (but unimportant) cabs, but that's about it.
MarcValme, I'm not so sure I agree. One of the good things about the config.txt file is that you can specify the order in which the cabs install, which does actually make a difference in a few circumstances. Food for thought.

TheLastOne,
Don't know / Can't figure out where is the problem.
No combination is working for me.
Maybe will try it again after a day or so.
Right now, after unhiding the Ext ROM, I'm installing all the programs needed by me manually.
One thing that I noticed is the increase in speed... The performance is somewhat better now...

Another test: Wizard ROM ported to BA

Edited 26 jan 2006
I've uploaded a second test version of HTC Wizard's rom port to ftp://[email protected]/Uploads/Blueangel/wm5_test/wizard2ba_v2a_test.rar
(this is a v2 rom with a fixed camera)
USE THIS ROM AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!
This version is a complete Wizard's ROM including:
1. Working MMS client
2. Midi/mp3 ringtone support
3. DirectX mobile/Direct3D mobile (xscale-optimized 3D driver)
4. Built-in cyberon voice-dial
5. Wizard's battery indicator, device lock on today
6. Some cosmetic changes
7. 32 Mb RAM disk
8. Bug fixes from the previous version (for example now you can add picture to contact).
There is no need to install any of the old CAB-files with fixes on this ROM. All needed fixes are included in "EXTROM" folder.
The "EXTROM" folder has changed from the previous ROM version. You need to do a hard reset before using this ROM!
Known problems:
1. Bluetooth disconnect bug is still there. I have an idea, but would check it later.
2. The device cannot be used as an IR/USB modem. This can be fixed, but I don't have enough time.
3. It seems that midlet manager is not working. Probably this is a bug in original wizard's ROM.
Installation instructions:
1. Modify the operator as needed and if needed:
xda3nbftool.exe nk.nbf nk.nba -x 0x20040521
...read wiki...
xda3nbftool.exe nk.nba nk.nbf -x 0x20040521
2. Create "EXTROM" foder on your storage card, copy there the contents of EXTROM
folder from this archive. The full name of this directory on your device should
be "\Storage Card\EXTROM".
2. Flush the ROM
3. Make the hard reset (press camera+record+reset buttons, select "format storage")
4. Boot. During the first boot the CAB-files from "EXTROM" folder would be
installed. They are unsigned, so you should press "yes" when asked, and
install them to the default folder. This process would be silent on newer
builds of this ROM.
Note for modifying the EXTROM folder:
All CAB-files should have read-only attribute set. Otherwise they would be deleted after installation. This would be fixed in the future releases. And
Config.txt is renamed to Cfg.txt.
CAB files:
Missing-Files.CAB - must be always installed. Wizard's ROM is larger than ours, so several files had to be removed and placed to this CAB.
Default_CAB-shortcut-CDL-08Sep05.CAB
Default_cdl_wwe_version.cab
Default_ie_view.sa.cab
Default_SmartDialing_enable_0915_signed.CAB - these 4 are from original Wizard's ROM.
Camera2K5.cab - camera app and drivers
Note regarding "RAM Disk32". I recommend to move temporary internet files and install unnecessary apps there. Its contents would survive soft reset, but would be cleaned if the battery is removed. The RAM Disk driver is taken from www.buzzdev.net

Okay, so I got the ROM even before you posted this topic (after an hour you've uploaded it...yes, i do check the WM5_test folder on a regular basis, hehe) First impressions is that this ROM is fast, really fast, even faster than the Hima2BA port... I can't really call WM5 "slow" anymore now, it works very well. Gonna test it a bit more later today. And THANK YOU, as usual

Just turned on cleartype and the fonts looks a bit...I don't know...weird. I'm not saying that it is worse than in the older ROMs, it just looks different somehow. Or it's just me. Edit: yes, they *do* look different. I'd say they are nicer though...

install Camera2k5_1 ,it is owrking for camera , this rom fast than others, Pocker msn can't login " sorry, We are unable to sign you in to this service because we could not detect a valid server certificate. this can occur if the date on your device is different from today date.please check the date on your device and change it if necessary.
also missing phone icon at person settingn't set ringtone

hi mwang,can you tell me where can download Camera2k5_1 ,thanks

Mamaich, what can i say, outstanding, as usual...Testing now

great man...
picture and video application isn't working though :?

working awesome, does anyone know how can i install BT Tray?
thanks mamaich

In Phone, Options doesn't work, smartdialing doesn't work...

2. "ok" hardware button is mapped to "record" and this cannot be changed. Would investigate this.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Strange. In my device it's mapped to the OK button as in 2003..

Bugs that I found:
1. MSN Messenger does not work
2. Phone Option does not work
3. Unable to assign picture from contacts
4. MP3 ringtone does not work
5. Voice Command BT Headset Dial (by renaming voicecmd.exe to sddialer.exe) does not work

MP3 ringtones work for me

Phone, Options isn't there. comfirm.
Hope to have a fix for that soon.

This ROM is a bit faster, but still no match for wm2003se speed..
Another problem is that I don't seem to be able to connect to the internet using AS, is it just me?
Guess it's back to 2003 for now..

I'll put together quickly a WiKi article with solution to the missing phone settings and such..stay tuned.

WiKi article with solutions and general info here (and also in my signature)

There are no notifications of current internet connection, i mean wifi bluetooth or gprs in the titlebar (like those in himalaya ported WM5)
There is still error when you press album icon in camera app, which can be fixed with installing album
The hardware button OK is mapped correctly , it works fine here
The record button is mapped as Voice Speed dial (the record app is there but doesnot work)
How can i get the tray icons of bluetooth and wifi ?
I like the new battery tray icon

Port to SX66
Great work Mamaich.
Installation was very smooth. The WIki solution to the missing phone icon was a big help. I prefer this version over the orginal WM5 or the himalaya version. I like the EXTROM installation. Not having a camera installed is a big help to SX66 owners, we don't have to deal with the sound issues. Finally got a midi ringtone to work with the wizard version, prior versions I had to convert the Midi to MP3. I have had it lock up on me a few times, but haven't figured out the cause yet.
Thanks again.

Cingular 8125 users: 217 ROM w/ Compact Framework 2 on ftp

I've uploaded a 2.17 ROM that has .NET Compact Framework 2 integrated. The files for CF2 are in the ROM, and the necessary registry entries are created via a cab file that is part of the extended ROM. If you bypass execution of the ext ROM customizations, you won't have the necessary registry keys for CF2 to function.
I should probably repeat that: If you bypass execution of the ext ROM customizations, you won't have the necessary registry keys for CF2 to function. (nor will you have the Cingular customizations including GPRS and MMS settings).
The ROM is based on the 2.17 version that has lots 'o extra ringers and themes, and OmapClock. Makes tatertots too.
If you don't know what CF2 is and have never installed software that requires it (not much does..the most popular is probably WiFiFoFum) then there's no need to flash to this ROM. However if you do use applications that require CF2, you'll benefit from the storage space savings by having CF2 in ROM.
For first-time upgraders from stock devices, I beg of you, please, no matter what you read about successful flashes without CID unlocking, do yourself (and my inbox) a favor and CID unlock anyway. =)
The ROM is available here:
ftp://xda:[email protected]_RUU_WIZARD_217_AKU2_WWE_RNGRS_OCLOCK_CF2.exe
I may create one based on 2.08 at some point down the road.
Thanks, and enjoy. and whatnot. and what have you. and stuff.
EDIT: fixed link since it's been moved. Not sure why it was put in a Cingular subdir of the main Cingular dir..

Sorry to be the total noob...
I installed the custom_ruu_wizard_217_aku2_cingular_wwe. (BTW, a great piece of work).
Do I need to downgrade to the stock Cingular rom before flashing this rom?

I for one would appreciate a 2.8 version of the same. Thanks for all your efforts.
Still no luck extracting the A2DP stuff and including it with the 2.17 version eh?

how to rerun customizations
is it possible to run the customization routines later (after the first reboot from RMO upgrade)? I wonder if this would work (to preserve prior settings/applications):
Backup using SPB
Install new 2.17 rom on top of old 2.17 rom
cancel customizations
install backup file (which will overwrite registry)
run new customization to add CF2 to registry
Or, can you upload the CAB with the CF2 reg entries so it can be run again later?
thanks,
jason

Summiter, I tried the 2.17 ROM with Cingular customizations, ringers, themes, and OmapClock last night. (I unlocked CID, and SIM as well just in case.) It worked great. Nice job and many thanks!

Summiter,
I removed CF2, backed up, then installed this ROM and then reloaded my back up. Did I lose my CF2 registry settings by reloading the back up of a non-CF2 system? My WiFiFoFum2 doesn't work now but I don't know how to tell if the CF2 is loaded properly.

That's what happened - you wrote over your registry with the one that no longer has the CF2 keys. When I get home in a couple hours I'll attach the cab file to my reply that will recreate them.

Cingular 8125 A2DP and DP with newest Summiter ROM
Went to Tornado Group downloaded Bluetooth files files installed them, tweaked the registry and I am running the newest ROM with A2DP. Thanks summiter for the ROM and the Tornado folks for the files.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=48491
Eureka.
PS Not the 2.8 but 2.17.

Ok,
I must be an idiot. I've downloaded the ROM and it doesn't have CF2, ringers, the extra themes, overclock, etc. I tried it earlier today - then just to make sure I pulled it down and flashed it again - no go.
Like I said, I'm probably doing something wrong, but...

is it the thing that installs as soon as you configure tapping the four corners? i didn't even know that was bypassable.

CF2 cab file
Attached is the cab file to create the registry entries for CF2.
It won't help you if your flash to the CF2 ROM was not fully successful. This file is for folks who's flash was successful but have restored their registry from a backup of a non-CF2 ROM.

hi summiter,
a couple questions sir for your GREAT GREAT ROM (MUCH FASTER).
do i just click on it and it just runs at that speed? so if i click on 252 it runs at that speed forever until i click back on 200?
also, how do i know if i didn't bypass the customization?
thanks a million for a job well done.

When you click one of the links, it will set the clock to that speed until you suspend the device by pressing the power button briefly or it times out.
What I've done is map my camera button to the 252 link, so when I need an extra boost I just hit the button. It will stay overclocked until I suspend the device.
If you want it overclocked always and forever, you'll have to call OmapClock with a notification event which requires a 3rd party app to set up. Read through the OmapClock threads to find out more.
I like the having it rest to stock speed on suspend since it conserves battery by only being overclocked when needed.

Yep - the customizations run after you get past the alignment stuff. It's the part where you are locked out of your device while a perdy progress bar takes its sweet ass time as it installs countless cab files.
If you were so inclined, you can bypass customization by pressing the soft reset button as soon as the poorly worded notification pops up saying "It will now customize....". I don't recommend that.

WiFiFoFum working?
Has anyone successfully run WiFiFoFum with this ROM? I had a seemingly successful flash (I had the long wait for installation after the alignment on the first boot). Everything seems to work except WiFiFoFum. I haven't tried anything else that requires CF2 yet, but WiFiFoFum gives me an error:
Code:
This application (WiFiFoFum.exe) requires a newer version of the Microsoft .NET Compact Framework than the version installed on this device.
When I click "Details" I get:
Code:
WiFiFoFum.exe
InvalidProgramException
I even installed the cab file provided above to make sure the registry was right.
Essentially I'd like to know if this is known to work okay so I'll know that I should try flashing it again.

P.S. Thanks for all of the work summiter - I don't think I could have done this myself...

Appears as though the flash didn't take. If you execute cgacutil.exe in the Windows directory, what CF versions are reported?
What ROM did you have prior to this one?

Need advice on cooking an extended rom based on Xelencin's T-Mobile 2.26 ROM

I really like Xelencin's 2.26 ROM. However, I don't like the T-Mobile_Network_Customizations.cab file. As it is not removable, and more importantly, won't let me set Wi-Fi as my default internet connection. I tried everything and finally concluded that the culprit is that cab file. So I decided to cook up an extended rom with only the files I want. Basically, here are the four Xelencin extended rom cab files that I would like to keep, as they seem essential:
Certification_Disable.cab - Disables certification requirement for CAB installers.
Smart_Dialing_Enable.cab - Enables Smart Dialing.
Missing_Shortcuts.cab - Adds MMS Inbox, Voice Tag control panel, Voice Dialing startup shortcut, ClearVue PDF shortcut, Voice Speed Dial shortcut.
Intent_MIDlet_manager.cab
Intent_MIDlet_manager.cab - Adds the missing Java MIDlet manager to the device.
According to Mr. PrestonMcafee's thread, MP_SmartDialing_enable_0915_signed.cab is the newer updated version of Xelencin's Smart_Dialing_Enable.cab. Can anyone confirm this? Also, it was stated that MP-Shorcut-MMS1-Voice-CV-TMUS-060404.cab is the newer version of Xelencin's Missing_Shortcuts.cab. However, it seems like there is a difference as Xelencin's Missing_Shortcuts.cab file is 96KB in size while the MP-Shorcut-MMS1-Voice-CV-TMUS-060404.cab file is only 72KB. It seems like Xelencin has added something else to his cab. Just confused about that.
I also plan on adding the following files in addition to the ones above, to the extended rom:
- TMOUS_Camera_Profile_reg_0414_signed.cab - Fix for the Camera
- PP_GPRSandEGDE_DTMF.cab - Fix for DTMF tone dialing problem?, sets EnableDTMFSupport and different edge, GPRS icons
- P_Edge_Icon.sa.cab - Replaces Antenna icon with G or E
- Enable_NTIZ_.cab - Network time enable
- MP_CVSDcpl_20060220.cab - voicetagcpl.cpl
- Molski.Biz_Performance Registry_Tweaks.cab
- Molski.Biz_Customizing_Tweaks.cab
Are there any newer versions of these files? And are any of these redundant with the 4 Xelencin cab files? Sorry for all the questions. Just anxious to cook up this extended rom. Thanks!

2.26
I think in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=273019
Xelencin provides a new ROM based on the updated versions. That of course doesn't solve your problem, but it provides a second check on what I did.
I would recommend, before you cook a ROM, to install the stock T-Mobile 2.26 ROM but prevent the installation of the extended ROM, install and use Total Commander to copy the extended ROM files to the SD card, run the ones you want and try living with it for a while, to insure you have what you need. I recently rebuilt mine without the MMS shortcut cab because I don't use MMS myself. This is very easy; if at some point you settle on a preferred configuration, then you can cook a ROM, but I figure, why bother? I copy the files I want to my SD card once and even if I do a hard reset and rebuild the system, I maintain copies of these files to install again.

Thanks for the reply Preston. What you're saying about manually installing the cabs I want from my SD card definitely makes a lot of sense. But part of me wants to try to create an Extended Rom, as a personal learning challenge to myself. Basically, to see if I can do it. It seems fairly easily, particulary in comparison to making a full fledged modified ROM. Faria's Tutorial on Cooking an Extended ROM, seems like a great guide.
Do you happen to know where I can find the official U.S. T-Mobile 2.26 Extended ROM? I couldn't find it through searching, and would prefer not to have to install the official T-Mobile rom, just to get the contents of the extended rom.

Here it is
http://www.t-mobileapps.com/downloadcenter/software_detail.cfm?id=80

I believe this is the entire ROM. I was just looking for the extended_rom download.

WM5 Comm Manager

Hey whats up guys, just a curious question I have regarding the comm manager in WM5. When using stock version of WM5 2.26 from T-Mobile on my MDA and using a program called Navizon with my GPS, I am able to calcualte a lot of Wi-Fi Access points and Cell Phone towers using the Comm Manager supplied with the stock. I am talking about, on my regular commute about 400-600 AP's and varied on towers. I have upgraded my Rom many of times with different variations of WM5 and WM6 and also reflashed my Radio rom with many different radio versions, with WM5 stock, customs, and WM6, and each came with a different comm manager than stock, and after doing so I am now only able to gain maybe 7 AP's on my normal commute but Cellphone Towers are good.
So my question is, is it possible to get the comm manager from stock WM5 and install it within any custom roms already to created to see if that really has something to do with why I am not gaining any data while using this program, and if that might not be the case, then what exactly could be the problem when trying to collect the data at all. Thanks in advance.

Man, over 75 views and not a single yest it can be done or no it cannot be done, come on guys somebody gots to know a simple yes or no answer!

Hi,
If you mean the "CommManager.exe" file, yes it can be done.
I'm building my own WM6 rom (orwel based).
As I liked better the CommManager.exe from the Tmobile 2.26 stockROM, I installed it.
Simply extract the file from the CommManager.exe T-Mobile ROM and copy it over to an already installed rom or integrate it in your new rom.
You also might want to tune the Software\HTC\CommManager registry key to make sure that you have 8 buttons on it, instead of the regular 7 of the other roms.

Hey eluth, thanks for the reply man. I didnt realize it was that simple, but a quick question, is their a tutorial you can point me to as far as extracting the .exe file, or do I have to flash rom with stock, transfer over to pc, reflash with custom rom, transfer back over. Basically Im looking for a simpler way of extracting than the above, thanks in advance.

Nice advice!
I've done it!
Great - I see my loving 8-buttons!!!

I would also love to have it again. Can somebody share old commanager.exe and reg. file here?

I changed the key to show 8 and it says "Comm Manager supports 7 functions at most!"
Any ideas?
I guess what I am asking is what is the 8th button for and how do I go about mapping it in (if that's even possible)?

It looks like you have a 7-button manager, you need an 8-button.
Try this: (attach)
(the 8th entry in the registry should contain one default value - "IR", similar to 7 others)
P.S.: do not pay attension on the file size - it's just compressed by upx

Thanks fellaz, hopes this fixes my issue with Navizon.

Thanks for this post! I have been looking for this for months!!!

It did not work for me. It had the same 7 buttons on top of 8 pieces of text. The file size was considerably smaller than my 7 button commmanager.exe as well.

Will that create the button as well? When Comm manager loaded it still had only 7 graphical buttons on top of 8 pieces of text.

I tried and it worked... thank you

cab file for easy install
I didn't test it 'cose I allready have it...

Did anybody tried to install the VOIP.cab too ?

Funny thing is that most users reports registry entry started from 1 but mine started from 0 (phone entry, in WM6 MB edition)? I suggest all not to use cab files, but manually perform registry changes. Adding VOIP button is OK, I don't have error in settings menu I used to have without it.
