WM2003SE for iMate Pocket PC (asia)

[ketandp]

Hi Folks,
I'm using iMate pocket PC which i bought from India. Its awesome while sync with my exchange server and get me entire mailbox of mine to the device.
I also want to check whether i can enjoy the WM2003SE on this device. I have been reading quite a few posts on WM2003SE for XDA here (i'm not sure whether this is the right forum to talk bout the iMate; however, i tried coz i seen a category for HTC).
I know for sure that the vendor has not yet published WM2003SE for iMate PPC. however, Could anybody please let me know if i can upgrade my iMate to WM2003SE (i'm crezy about it and a couple of days back i just decided to use one of the upgrade from this site and somehow cud hold myself as i cud not predict what its going to do with my device :) ). If its possibel, from where shall I get the upgrade?
thanks in advance.
Ketan

Hi Columbus,

Wud this upgrade work with the iMate Pocket PC from India?
thats what is the concern for me. I have seen threads where we need to modify the .nbf files for the operator / country codes. Do i need to modify the .nbf file for this upgrade?

From Today screen, goto START/Settings/System/Device Information.
What's your ROM version/date, Radio version etc?

You can search and check out DCS posting on how to check the operator code on the .nbf files and your devices.

Alternatively, if you are not too worry about changing the operator code (since the upgrade to WM2003SE voids warranty anyway), you can run the upgrade only with HimaUpgradeUt.exe (remove the HimaGetDeviceData.exe and HimaClearJumpCode.exe).

There exists many tutorials/tips from people who have tried the upgrade, so have a good read and copy the important tips.

Some general tips from me:
(a) Backup all your important data (calendar schedule, docs, contacts etc)
(b) Be mentally prepared to spend quite awhile doing the upgrade. Smooth upgrade -> 1-2 hours, Error-prone upgrade -> 1-2 days.

Do not rush, or you will find that 99% of the time, the error happens because you are careless. Always clarify, clarify, clarify.

(c) If encounter errors, copy the sequence of events, EXACT error messages, search for similar errors reported here. If unable to find, post your errors to request for urgent help!

(d) Also, if you have the luxury of a spare phone, keep that handy in case your mobile phone connectivity is indispensable to you.

(e) If all else fails, be prepared for a downgrade back to the original ROM. Remember to download the original WM2003 ROM package as well.

good luck!

Hey,
I just ran the himalayut.exe and i'm sure there was no ms_nbf file in the directory
So, I beleive the ext ROM was not present and its not installed.
Can anyone give me a good ext ROM which i can use to with my iMate (asia)?
Thanks.
