I finally have the original ROMs to the iMate,

OS: 1.03.00
R: 1.05.12
Ext: 1.03.00

I’m trying to downgrade from RUU-1.52.113.

So I ran the HimaUpdate (RUU1.03), and it erases and writes the OS, and erases and writes the Ext_Rom, and erases the Radio, and gets to 12% of writing the radio and fails? After this the device will not boot anymore. So I go into Bootloader and am able to run one of the later update (like 1.52.113) to get the device back up and running.

When I asked ClubiMate about it, they said this was a security feature to not let you downgrade the radio stack. But I know other people here are upgrading/downgrading all the time. Is there some other way I can force the Radio downgrade to 1.05.12? I've seen the other posts about xdanbftools? and the batch files that automate changing from TMobile to Daangarrd etc, but nothing specifically about this.

I dont know if flashing the radio on the xda2 is as dangerous as the xda1 but be careful, a broken radio stack has rendered many a phone banjaxed.
