All I wanted to do was write to the write protected extended rom and that’s where my problems started!!!


I followed the procudure in the

http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=6470 forum

I down loaded a file from

http://www.c1au.com/iMatePDAROMS/ruu15283.zip

when unzipped it produced a file Ruu15283wwe_cdl which I ran.......(ok I know that it was a mistake.. yes I know I have made the classic newbie mistake)


It would appear to be an I-Mate updater and has updated my O2 Xda2 to an I-Mate. With the following

R 1.06.01
G 1337.16
D 1.52.00wwe

Now part of the reason I was able to install the new Radio Stack, New OS? and New Extended rom was because it was all in an .exe file which automatically did it.

What I would like to do now is return to the original O2 set up and forget trying to write to the extended rom.

I am a newbie and I have been silly, please can someone help me?

It seems that I can change the extended rom, which I have now back to my original Rom, which I made a back up of.

However the phone part doesn’t seem to be working....hum, I can install the down loaded (from this website) O2 version now and try that.

or I can role back to the imate software now as far as I knew the 2 parts of the phone were unconnected, so in theory what I have done should have effected the phone? Is this correct?
