i-mate ROM over SAP ROM


Recommended Posts

I'm intending to install the i-mate ROM over my SAP and want to know if the i-mate ROM also has the same embedded apps such as IA Album and IA Camera because I seem to notice that from the i-mate website, it's written that it has no IA Camera (and I think same goes with PPCW.Net's i-mate, too).

The I-Mate and Qtek both have IA Album on the ROM

How 'bout IA Camera? Is it also embedded in the i-mate ROM?

Not sure off hand without reinstalling the ROM, but as it's normally

part of IA Album I would be surprised if it's not there.

Anyone know if the shortcut plugin is included on the Qtek ROM?

Dang! While installing the i-mate ROM over my SAP, I got this: ERROR 117: INVALID MODEL ID. Is there a work-around?

Dang! While updating my SAP with the i-mate ROM, I got the following message: ERROR 77: INVALID MODEL ID.

Is there a work-around?

Try running the imate update from the SPU canary screen.

Like awarner said... Qtek and I-Mate are both born with IA Album - which will allow you to take pictures thru "IA Camera" .. and watch them via "IA Photos" or whatnot...

Uh, what was the method again on how to get to that Canary screen?

Turn off your phone

Hold down the memo-button

Turn on your phone with the memo-button pushed in

You're phone will enter canary-mode (3 colored screen...)

Place your phone in the cradle, and try to run the update again...

Oops, it didn't work. The update doesn't show any activity. Just sez: "... waiting..." Meanwhile, my smartphone just displays a blank white screen.

I'm also upgrading it over my SAP ROM v1.5x

What's wrong, guys? Help, please...

Guest MoRFLeZ

Don't panic ... give it a lil time...

What does it say on your computer??

Guest gladel

It juz sez something like: "Checking Smartphone version... waiting... Don't remove the Smartphone from the cradle or power supply until update is finished..." Sort of like that and I've waited for almost an hour waiting.

Resulting to that, I've disconnected my smartphone and powered-up. Fortunately, everything is still ok. Unfortunately, it's still bearing the SAP 1.5 ROM.

What went wrong during the update process? Why did it seemed to have stopped..?

Is there another solution?

When I get the above problem, I leave the phone plugged into the

PC and re-boot the PC. I presume it's a small glitch with my firewall.

May I ask what ROM and bootloader you're using before then after the update?

I've seemed to read on another topic that they've been having problems with the SAP 1.5 ROM (which has the bootloader 1.04) updating it with other ROMs?

Did you counter that situation with your above claim? I wish to try it again with your advise.

As I have posted else where that I do not currently have the SAP bootloader to play with so I can not do a full test to verify the

latest SAP problem.

Can aynone provide with a proper link to the Imate ROM, and possibly the Eurotel or Qtek one.

Thank you

Simply said, is it OK to do this imate update on an SPV-E100 with Eurotel' rom?

Can we come back to official Orange' one (let's say in case of Warranty' prob)?

Guest awarner [MVP]

You can update to the Eurotel ROM but you will be invalidating your

warranty. The only Orange update you could go back to is the Swiss one.

Remember the official line here is to only use updates from your

own network operator, anything else you do is your own responsibility.

But this site will still be here to help you sort any mess out ;)

It´s not possible to write I-mate or any other rom over SAP1.5. Need to downgrade the bootloader... :roll: :roll: :roll:

But I had many problems downgrading. always errors with winhex procedure...

Any help?

Guest awarner [MVP]

Why are you downgrading using winhex?

Also with upgradingdowngrading the installation should always be

run from the Canary screen.

Then you should not have a problem, apart from the new SAP update.
