Ok, there is a hell of allot of info on this site concerning updating the rom on the mds/qtek/imate etc.

all i wanna do is update my rom on my mda compact (unlocked, UK english) to the current best rom available, everything im reading here is from people allready half way through the process, trying to unlock the phone, trying to get round the country lock or freeing up the extended rom.. damn this is confusing...

when i do a soft reset the info i get is:

R:100.10
G:1337.36
D:1.01.00 WWE

what i need is an intro / idiots guide to this process, i wanna keep the extended rom.. just want the best rom at the moment...

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks

ive flashed pdas before and consider myself VERY technical, but this forum is so confusing that it reduced me to a total noob level.

anyway.. my mda compact UK is now a nice 1.06 imate jam :P

gravy.
