hey goestoeleven, do you get the roaming triangle? I noticed you were on Cingular in your sig. I'm trying to diagnose/figure this one out and still can't determine why some Cingular users get it and some don't...

looks like if you are using the old AT&T towers, then you get the roaming icon. if you are in a place which has always been Cingular, then no roaming icon.

IMEI Installing Restrictions with New i-Mate ROM

I noticed that my TyTN was "locking up" on what I thought was the last thing it was installing during the customization phase right after the ROM flashed. The progress bar was basically 99% complete during the customization phase and it said it was installing "Default_TodayPlugin.CAB". So I had to soft-reset to get past this.

However I unlocked the Extended_ROM using the fit4cat tool and noticed there was quite a few CABS in the i-Mate Extended ROM that hadn't/didn't install on my TyTN. There are things like "Default_i-mate_Pool.CAB" (game) and other stuff. When I try to install them, it says my IMEI number is not in the correct range (i.e., that of a JASJAM) so it doesn't install. I tried to install the "Default_TodayPlugin.CAB" file that the customization was "stuck" on and it is also IMEI restricted, so that explained why I was hung on that one.

So just a note to those out there using the ROM that it has stuff in Extended_ROM that won't install on a non-JASJAM device.

May be some of us were not as honest as Sportwa72. When I got stuck, I just did a soft reset and everything seemed fine. I also did it the second time and the same thing happened. I do not seem to be missing anything as everything works.

Sportwa72,
What CABs are we missing?

I did not have this problem as I did not install the extended from apart from Default_MT_Shortcut-MMS-Hermes.CAB so far.

Yep, same happened to me and I also just did SR. It appears that i-mate guys decided to leave some of the goodies for their customers only. I wonder what are we missing.

What's Missing (from i-mate ROM) AFAIK

  • i-mate Blackjack
    i-mate Pool
    i-mate Today Plugin
    CA Anti-Virus

Due to the customization "lock-up" you get while installing the "Default_TodayPlugin.CAB" there are a few things that normally CAN install (not IMEI locked) but don't (since they install after that CAB) which are:


  • Default_i-mateSuite_PPC.CAB
    Default_XMSCab-0409_JSJM_ENG.CAB

The "XMSCab" file installs an extension to SMS messaging that allows you to compose XMS-based "SMS" messages that can include things like handwriting, animated emoticons, etc. But I'm guessing you have to have an XMS-based client installed on your phone to receive them as well (i.e., another JASJAM or TyTN with this CAB (XMS) installed).

My bad, i'm doing a restore using sprite, but I didn't think it was supposed back up anything in rom. I reflashed my device just to be sure and it showed the 1.20.305.3 rom, then after restoring again I'm back to 1.18 (in the device info screen). Still shows 1.20 on the boot screen.

a word of caution...

DO NOT apply a backup from an old ROM on top of a new one. You will see (at best) unpredictable results, and at worst, you may really mess something up.

If you're going to flash the ROM, be prepared to reinstall everything all over again (programs, unlock codes, configurations, etc).

That's the price you pay for always playing with the latest and greatest...

Your right, it doesn't pay to be lazy.

Thanks for advice.

I have the roaming icon in San Diego on Cingular

Although periodically I used to see the roaming triangle with my SX-66, I have not seen it at all with my TyTN. This is definitely a location-related issue...

At least with my Cingular 3G SIM card, I am unable to select GSM providers manually (or choose "preferred networks" as I used to be able to do). Fortunately, I'm very happy to be "locked" into the Cingular UMTS network... ;-)
