Problems with new I-Mate Jam 1.12 ROM Update - JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading

I have an I-Mate Jam which had 1.06 Rom installed..
I have updated the ROM to 1.12 (WWE version) and how i have two very ititating problems !!
1. The device intermittantly refuses to access my SD card (1Gb Fugifilm card) - it's as if there's no card inserted, but if i remove then reinsert the card it finds it ok and it will work again (for a while!!). I never had this problem with the old ROM.
2. The original reason that i decided to update the ROM was the number of times that the Jam would reset itself seamingly at random. But after the upgrade this problem seems to be considerably worse!! Now almost every time i switch on the device it will instantly reset, and during use it will reset every 10-15 minutes or so!!
Has anyone else experenced these problems?
Any ideas how to fix them?
If there is no simple fix for this problem then i would like to re-install the 1.06 ROM as with the constant rebooting the device is now close to usable!! - is this possible, and if so where can i download a copy of the 1.06 ROM for an I-Mate Jam?

I been running 1.12 for a awhile now (2+ months), and just went BIG on the weekend, and I can say with 100% confidence I have never had either of your problems with any rom...
SD card and Power button... any chance it could be hardware related? loose connection somewhere perhaps?
collection of shipped roms are here

O2 mini WWE 1.11 ROM - ID Country error

Hello,
I have just downloaded the official new rom v1.11.
When I want to upgrade it, I get an error regarding the ID country !
I don't understand why... I got the rom from the official website (Thailand section since I bought the mini in Thailand but the ROM is for Asian countries and it should not be the problem).
How to solve this problem?
Thanks a lot.
I upgrade my O2 mini completly by using offical O2 firmware.But i try two times. I think the meaning of "reset" is hard reset then let the O2 goes back the original setting before upgrade.
After upgrade, the storage still has 7Mb, not 27Mb. Who can give me a comment???
GPRS problem
Hi,
Oh finally I found a solution on this website...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=18550&start=25
Now the ROM updated.
But I got a new problem, with GPRS.
I can connect to GPRS but once I'm connected, I don't have anymore the possibility to disconnect like before with the previous ROM.
*** ROGER 123, what is exaclty the problem with the storage? You are talking about the RAM or the free space in the ROM?
I guess what you mean but not sure... After a hard reset .... additional softs will be intsalled (3 seconds and...). Just make a soft reset before the process and then you don't have these extra softwares so that you have 7 Mb more available in RAM.
Have a nice day.

Help! Upgrade Failed, "EXTROM ERROR"

I just tried to upgrade my MDA Compact from German ROM to English ROM. Downloaded the latest O2 Asia English ROM from FTP, then used NoID EXE to upgrade.
After step 1 of upgrading Radio was completed, error message 'EXTROM Upgrade Error' raised, then, the MDA only stayed in Bootloader. No matter matter how many times I re-tried, it failed before step 2 of upgrading the Extended ROM.
I tried SD Card Flashing method. But it was no way to read the ROM (with using Romupdate.exe) successfully.
Anybody could help? Really need your advice. Thanks!
Be sure your battery is fully loaded. I think, that was my problem when I tried to upgrade. During bootloader mode, your Magician will NOT charge through the USB Cable.

I used a fully charged battery (charged by another MDA) for upgrade. Problem still existed. Any further suggestion? Thanks!
Nope, maybe you can try another ROM?
BTW.Did you charge it between creating your ROM backup and your upgrade? Cause creating a backup also cost battery power, and if you don't charge between the failures, your battery will also be drained. I finally let my battery charge for about 1,5 hours on the normal adapter and after that mine did work. But like I said, maybe you should try a different ROM.
I tried several different ROMs, but failed again and again. Even using SD flashing method, error of 'Download Fail' occurred after pressing Power button to try to load the ROM image from the prepared SD card.
Any help there? Is my MDA totally dead?
I tried at least 5 different language ROMs, but failed all the time.
Seems there is no way out.
Hic ! I have the same error, so my XDA mini dead too ! hic
anybody can help me ??
Hmm. The one thing I can think of is that seems to happen if you try flashing a device *with the SIM card still inside*. Take out the sim card - heck, take out the memory card as well, unless you're using *that* to flash, and try again.
Funnily enough, I didn't run into this problem while I was on my old Mini, both original ROMs and BigStorage - but I see this quite often when trying to flash my Atom (message "Extended Rom Format Fail").
What I did was to ensure everything 'cept the battery was out, and to keep on trying until it goes right past flashing 6% of the extROM. >_>
(BTW: if you can find it, and don't mind having to go CAB hunting, go BigStorage. IIRC you'll skip the extROM bit. Eheh.)

Qtek 9000 strange network problem. 3G can't connect [SOLUTION]

Hello,
Don't know if this was covered as when I had the problem I can't find any solution here or on the internet.
As I am considering sending my Qtek 9000 to get the memory upgraded, I wanted to test and trial out a few WM6 upgrades but I stumbled upon a network problem where the 3G will not connect.
I removed the contents on the Extended ROM and applied Lt.Cmdr.Ivan's ROM as it suited what I needed. Once done I was not able to access 3G but can make phone calls and SMS.
I then reflashed to nncuong's ROM as it had the min stuff and max amount of space for my customisation. Still the network failed..
Then I flashed to Beasty & Laurentius' ROM, and the same thing happened. I applied both the radio and also extROM flashes as well. The radio went smoothly, but the extROM got locked and I was not able to open it... Overwritting now does not work and it will try to install the stuff from the extROM everytime I try a hard reset or reflash of the OS...
Lastly, I finally got it to work when I located the original extROM for the Qtek 9000. Reflashed the extROM to the device and loaded Ivan's ROM and the network came back Some MMS setting problems that was fixed with a registry hack but everything was back to normal and the Universal is now WM6 without any problems.
The extROM now can't be used as a storage at all and it must be kept with the Qtek 9000 original files so this problem does not occur when reflashing or doing a hard reset. using other extROMs will only make this problem come back again.
If anyone needs the original Qtek 9000 extROM let me know and I will load it here.
If it has been posted before or there is already a solution, please ignore the thread.
Thanks
--- EDITED ---
Posted is the attachement for the version 1.3 of the Qtek 9000. Extracting it will provide an EXE file.
1) Connect your Qtek 9000 to the PC and activate bootloader. ( hold light and power while pressing the reset )
2) Once its connected via USB, start the file and it will flash your device to the new ExtROM.
Note it will also replace your custom boot screen.
I have the same problem...
Can you post here the information or data about the extRom?
Thanks you in advance
Posted the attachment and instruction.
If you get the sddaemon can't start, delete it from the startup will resolve the issue.

Universal No GSM Problem

Hi All,
It had been a long time that i have been trying to solve the 'No GSM' problem.
My device is O2 xda Exec, but strangely it started to show no sim card and then showing No GSM on the boot screen.
I had tried various ROMS by our friends, but no one is able to sort out this problem. Now i am really tired of it.
If anyone can help, knows any method to sort this out, any clues, i will be very happy.
i have the same problem.....
i had flash several rom's, but i cant flash radio rom as i show in this topic
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=457873
Try flashing back to the original factory ROM pack, it comes with everything in one upgrade package, so it will flash your ROM, Radio and Extended ROM at once. Trying cooked ROMs will not solve it, simply because they don't come with Radio as a general rule, so if you are missing a Radio, flashing a developed ROM will not add one.
Alternatively, of course, it may indicate problems with your main board that simply no longer reads your SIM.
i don't know the original rom version of it.
i had tried 2 original Imate WWE roms and it stucks at 0% at flashing radio rom. i instead it, i flash the rom and extrom separately several times, with severak versions, and the only problem is flashing the radio rom.
the device works properly, except GSM. the wifi and BT turns on and off. (no other devices to have comunicate)
i tried also sim "unlock" (it is already unlocked from factory) and i have the "success" message, then tried to flash radio rom, but unsuccessful.
then i did a rom backup from other device (Orange SPVM500 brand) to sd card and then restore to Jasjam, but shows "error ID"
then, i tried to backup the entire rom from itself to SD and restore it again, but the commands seems to not work.
then a did a upgrade bootloader (because it stucked at bootloader) even using UNI_bootloader EXIT.exe
i have no more ideas, then have it a large hammer!

SIM is due for replacement?
i tried 2 sim card's from 2 different operators.
actually it is without sim card, but shows the "NO GSM" at start up.
on past Saturday, my other pda (old HTC BLUEANGEL) had a freeze on receiving a call (i must reset it 4 times) then i made a call and nothing happened after that.
very strange.
i tried also backup a rom from the device to sd card and shows me an error (error = FF) on mtty1[1].42
i do the operation successfully on my other htc.
i read that sometimes take out and plug in the batery several times, works...
mine dont.
Try this it worked for me.....
Most of the ROM you update only have the nk.nbf (OS ROM) but don't have ms_.nbf (Extended ROM), radio_.nbf (Radio ROM). so you should upgraded the radio_.nbf manually.. and the problem should me solved..... so simply download any new Radio version in my case 1.17.XX and copy the file radio_.nbf (Radio ROM) in to the ROM update folder . Enter boot screen and update... the problem should be solved.... have a look at following link as welll... might be helpful...

I too have the "NO GSM" issue, and have noticed that most cases are associated with the o2 Exec; as is mine. I'm also missing my IMEI in 'device information'. I think the issue may have something to do with the CID lock originally found in the o2 Exec. I too have tried almost anything and have heard the original ROM is the only way back (which I don't have). However, I believe that an SD upload/download of a radio ROM may be a possible solution. The trick is getting the 'header' of the "to be downloaded" radio ROM to match up with the device. This is where I'd left off on trying to fix my device...I don't know how to edit the ROM's header and save, so that I may download via SD card...any help would be much appreciated...
Its a HW problem...
what do you mean by sd upload/download of rom ????

You can find more information in the forum adout downloading by SD card. Tomal has an SD ROM tool; or you could try the service manual...Either way, I cannot seem to get an SD download to work because of a fixed CID lock; this was confirmed through MTTY. However, I believe if I clone the header (acceptable to the device) into the "new" radio ROM; my device should be able to update. If it doesn't, I feel I could then confidently believe that the issue is in the hardware...'til then...
Can anyone out there help me with this, PLEASE!!!
So try unlockind your device to make it SuperCID

[Q] HTC Desire fail after OTA update

Hi, I've been using my unbranded HTC Desire for a few months now, did the OTA update to Android 2.2 about a month ago. About 5 days ago I got a notification that there was an update available, I started the installation, got an error that it could not back up my data and acknowledged that but to my surprise it continued to perform the installation. Now the phone reboots about every 2 minutes, the status bar shows no connection even when I'm surfing the web, checking e-mail or answering a call. After kicking it back to factory defaults at the advice of HTC I had no change in conditions. ATT naturally said an HTC what? Flash a ROM, what’s a ROM (HTC recommended that move as well). So I figured well I'll flash the ROM myself, only problem with that idea is I can't create a gold card because the device does not recognize the SD card. I put the SD card in a Samsung GalaxyS and it reads it fine. I used several WWE bravo trying to flash it across the usb but it failed stating the ROM was not correct for my hardware.
Any help finding a ROM I can flash across a USB or any other ideas you may have would be of great help.
You could downgrade HBOOT 0.92 to 0.80 and maybe install an older update rom to see if it changes your situation, it might work!
