Dear Sirs,

I'm writing to seek your help in upgrading my Device (Imate) from Imate Rom to T-Mobile Rom My device info. is as follows.
Rom Version :1.66.00WWE
Rom Date :02/20/04
Radio Version :1.10.00
Protocol Version :1337.18
ExtRom Verision :1.66.167

I have the T-Mobile Softwere but everytime I tried it, I recieve a Msg. stating (Country Code Error).

If the ROM is for a different country based or network based device, it will fail a country check as you run the setup program.

The way around it is not for the faint hearted, as it involves running the update to unpack the files, using a command line tool you have to download to unlock the individual ROM's, then setting the country code for the ROMs using the same command line tool, then re-packing them again with the same tool, before continuing with the install.

Not an easy process for first time users, and also of course, if you do this and then decide you don't like the new ROM, you will need to go through all this all over again to get your old ROM back on, as it will then of course be set for the wrong country as it were...

Dear Sirs,

I highly appreciate your promt reply, yet again I think I have to do it as ever since I did the upgrade to the Latest I-Mate club posting & my problem started as every day I have to (Hard reset) the Device as everytime it goes Off, it does not switch On again & I end up re-installing all the Programs all over from scratch!
I would be greatfull if u could put down the process in steps so I can carry on.

Sincerly yours,
