Upgrading O2 firmware but different language - iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom ROM Development

Hi guys, it's been a looong while since I've visited here. Trying to sell my Atom Life here in Taiwan but my Atom Life is English OS.
I've tried downloading the CHT OS from seeo2.com but the CID is probably wrong so it won't let me restore to it. Back in the days of my Cingular 8125 (was that it? the dopod 838) I remember running some tools to unlock the CID but I'm not sure what to do now on the Atom life. I did some searching and reading and see some things about extracting eboot file but I really can't find any.
Can anyone point me in the right directions? Just want to restore this to O2's WM6 and sell this to my friend.
Thank you!

I also upgraded from club imate site, no issues so far looks good.
Hi, I make the upgrade.
It works fine.
The only problem is extended rom is locked.
Thanks Panja for uploading.
JoseF
the only difference with this version seems to be the removal of the text 'test only not for sale' in the bootsplash screen.

Hey,
Try to understand this page and you will get it to work:

A bit too much information for me I'm afraid.
I'm running the Imate version now and it's terrible: No gprs & monitor.
I've tried already to switch back to the original version from T-mobile, but I get the same country ID error as when I tried to install the Imate ROM.
To reverse this (as far as I understand) is not easily done I'm afraid!
The settings of the T-mobile ROM (RUU16036WWE_T-Mobile_NL.exe)
look correct if I vieuw the
ms_.nbf & NK.nbf & Radio_.nbf files with ER2003 EDIT
and there seems no reason to change them.
The terrible thing is that I can not install this original ROM !
Please help.. :wink:

Use ER2003edit to erase the phone ID and the county code. then apply your old update and you will be going. This worked for me to downgrade.

Phone is not ready
Does anyone come across such problem wtih this iMate 1.72.00WWE, that is when activate the phone program, select Tools --> Options..., a dialog comes up with message "The phone is not ready, Wait 15 seconds and try again." However, this never get away, every I select the same, it appears. Please Help.
So far, ive done 2 hardresets on 1.72.
Compared to 1 on 1.66 and 1 on 1.52.
Im really concerned about the stability of 1.72, doing the wrong thing with the wrong program can cause an instant hardreset!
I think I solve the problem now
umm... i cant upgrade.
ive tried about everything, and i always get country ID error.
Ive upgraded to 1.72 before (official), back then i erased the phone ID and
operator code.
So, i tought.. then it should be the same now.. but no, it aint.
I cant upgrade!!
Please help!
Just do it all over again, as you never upgrade the machine. I had do it, it works.
Yeah.. it worked with PH10, Qtek, and WWE.
thanx for the input!

Why not try copying the files from the WWE rom in Windows/Temp after extraction then paste those files into same directory when the CHT rom has extracted then continuing the flash procedure, just a thought and dont blame me if things go pear shaped.

I've try this solution 4 many times.But, the RUU doesn't allow to do this.
I try the CHT one(sp34075.exe), the hpRUU.exe pop up a fatal error message during the upgrade process and cause my 6828 dead thoroughly: no response to powerup & hard reset.
what a shock!!! Hardly imagine that HP even make this ****!!!!!!!!!!!!
hey can someone post the link for the hp rom update? I cant find it. Do I need to register on the HP site first?????

i-mate Smartflip

Hey,
Newbie here. I own two smartflips bought from i-mate hq (Dubai). However, i'm now in Aus. WM6 looks nice and i must say, great work and appreciation for those who cook up these ROMs. However, i noticed that all these ROMs start off from either Cingular or QTEK or HTC. why leave i-mate ROMs behind guys? Anyways, before i try out any of these ROMs, i just don't want to end up killing my phone. I've searched high and low for i-mate stock ROMs (WM5). I saw one in a post but that was like WWE or something which i'm not sure what it means. I don't want to register on i-mate and do loads of form-filling and IMEI filling just to get some ROMs. Anyone have any idea of where i can acquire some 'stock' WM5 i-mate ROMs (not qtek or cingular or htc or wotever).
The other thing.. i haven't SuperCID-ed my smartflip. I tried to get to the bootloader (for no reason.. just experimenting) by pressing the keys n all but it doesn't show up. it goes to the i-mate screen.. then flashes an HTC logo and boots WM5. Once again my smartflip is Out-of-the box, hope that helps someone explaining the phenomena. i do have the i-mate CD that came with it. However didn't find and option to install Windows Mobile 5.0. I need a ROM to keep a backup in case i screw up. If anyone could help me obtain an i-mate WM5 ROM, it would be greatly appreciated.
Also, how would one find out the IPL and SPL of the smartflip? As i mentioned i wouldn't like to brick my phone. It is mentioned somewhere that the 3.06 or wotever IPL and SPL version are not capable of flashing through micro-sd card. Not sure but i think the 4.0 or wotever can flash through micro-sd card. Apart from the link(to files) posted in a thread, isn't there an 'official' way of getting to update the IPL and SPL?
Sorry for such a long post. One thing i must say, great work guys. I would like to suggest people to follow up on their threads. there was one 'bricked' post but the person said he found a solution but never posted what his solution was. It would be helpful if he could have posted the solution as it does help others. Apologies if i said anything wrong.
Thanks,
Dan.
You used to be able topick up Imate roms from ftp://ftp.clubimate.com
But they won't be nearly as good as the cooked Wm6 ones. Just follow the instruction and flash away.
(WWE means worldwide english)
Flash one of the cooked ones! I use Erofich's 6.1 and it's great.
WWE just means WorldWideEnglish as opposed to other languages.
Good luck
I have a SmartFlip upgraded with GnatGoSplat's WM6 ROM (Eurofich' WM6 is better but GPRS doesn't work): it works fast and without problems.

Thank you all!
Hi,
Thank you all for your responses. i-mate roms at imate ftp site is confirmed. Thanks unwired. The thing is i take calculated risks and have most info before i do some thing. so if i end up somehow bricking my phone, i will know what to do before dad kills me . Now i just need to update the IPL/SPL and get into bootloader to see if it works. Then gonna flash with WM6 or WM6.1. I just needed a stock ROM to keep as backup because its mentioned somewhere that if your phone is bricked, u can try to flash it using micro-sd card flashing. but that only works with stock ROMs if WM6 flashing fails. Anyways, thanks once again. i will keep you guys updated on my progress.. Thanks!
Best Regards,
Dan.

SDA_ApplicationUnlock
Where can one get the SDA_ApplicationUnlock.exe? the superCID thread didn't mention where to get it or either i missed it... anyone out there to help me??
Thanks,
Dan.
(If i succeed in doing this.. i'll make an Utimate WM6 for STRTRK guide)
IPL/SPL
Hi,
Sorry for multiple questions. I still haven't been able to get into the bootloader by pressing the voice notes and camera and power on key. I'm still not sure how it goes. Do you have to hold the keys, press the power button and let go immediately of all the three keys or do you have to hold the power button for long with holding the voice and camera keys? i need to check which version of the bootloader i have to make sure it supports flashing from micro-sd. Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Dan.
EDIT: I was also looking for some way to backup software from my current WM5 ROM. There are some apps that come in-built which i like. But since i don't have the .cab(s) i was wondering if there would be a way to backup software and later on install it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Out of a million tries, I only managed to get into the bootloader ONCE that way. Okay, I exaggerate, but I found it almost impossible to use RECORD, CAMERA, and POWER to get into bootloader. Instead, I've found with the phone OFF, press RECORD, CAMERA, and plug the USB connector into the PC while holding those buttons. It goes into Bootloader every single time that way.
You can back up the built-in apps, but it requires figuring out which files belong to which app, and also getting their registry entries. Then you can either manually copy all those files into the phone and manually import the registry entries, or make them into a cab file to automate it.
WOW.. thnx for that!
Yup! Worked like a charm! i have IPL/SPL 1.02 or wotever.. so i don't need to worry about micro-sd card flashing problems ( i hope i never need to use that in my life). So if it works this way.. i would recommend others who have bricked their phones and trying to flash it holding the record, and camera button while phone is off, plug it in the usb. As soon as i did that, Vista picked it up as a mobile device. the bootloader ( the screen sucks! what a dreadful combination of colors!) also shows a usb sign at the bottom. I hope this info helps those who bricked/killed their phone and were finding it hard to re-flash it. As it is mentioned in some thread... if wm6 flashing fails, u have to revert back to stock rom WM5 (cingular rom for cingular phone, i-mate rom for i-mate, etc) and then re-flash with WM6. I wonder if rom update utilities work when in bootloader connected to pc.
Once again, thanks for your reply GnatGoSplat. As for the apps, yea.. i know its bad. I did check over onto the i-mate site and found a file 'Arabic...' something. it didn't mention it as a rom so i'm hoping they are the software packages that come with the default middleast rom. You might have heard of 'Portableapps' on PCs. They are little beauties. Because the original windows and windows mobile are linked closely.. i might wonder if there could be a way to port those ( or even create your own) onto windows mobile. I know how to make portableapps so if you need any info, i think i could help unless someone knows better.
So where do i get the SDA_ApplicationUnlock file? Thanks.
Regards,
Dan.

Hi,
Thanks for the file Erofich. Unfortunately, I've just been caught up with studies and hence will not be able to work on modding my i-mate until i get some free time. however, i'm still going to try to work on an 'Ultimate WM6 for Startrek Guide'.
Its just that its better for end-users because some of the information is scattered around and 'some' of the instructions are a bit hard to follow (no offense to anyone). If anyone has any concerns or is against my actions, please let me know.

I tried searching I swear. How to flash MWG's rom to o2's atom LIFE.

I recieved an o2 atom life, wm5. Which is unstable.
I want to use this: http://www.mwg.com/atom-life_wm6_pre.aspx
(MWG's WM6.1 upgrade - June 2008).
But it shows "Vendor ID error"... So I guess I need soft SPL...
I searched a while but found only things for Atom/atom Pure... but nothing for atom life...
If I searched using "life" I got many "not for atom life" posts.
Any one that can guide/help me?
regards.
download a O2 atom life official ROM
run it, and b4 u really flash ur device, backup "pass.32" (c:/windows/temp)
then run MWG atom life official ROM
replace the pass.32 right b4 the soft detect ur device
be honest....there are not much atom life resource on internet then HTC device, especially here. do more searching and u will know.
Actually, MWg has not yet released any WM6.1 ROM for Atom Life... And MWg might has no plan on it.

Not only the O2 official Rom but you have to find the original rom for your atom life (which is suitable for your device's default language) . And actually, you just need the file "pass.32" , this file is used for cheking your device's default language.
I'll give you may pass.32 to see if it works or not( mine is WWE). All you have to do is download MWG rom, run it, then replace this pass.32 to C:\Windows\ temp , after that connect your device to pc and flashing
To all using Atom liffe, please share your pass.32 please !!
Thanks a lot. Finally!

Hoi Hans, I'm gonna try to help you, but it's important for me to make sure which device you have, because there are a lot look a like's but it's just another phone, to make sure which device you own just take a look under your battery and tell me if you have a nike100 or another version.
The second thing I need to know, does your phone have a simlock.
Greetz,
It's a NIKI100 and is not simlocked

Hola hans, any news on your plans? I just "revived" my old nike today after beeing in a drawer for years, and I must say, it´s been a full success and it only took me less than an hour to do so. Now I even have WinMo 6.5.x and "sense-like" tabs
