I'm new to convergence devices and i just bought an imate jam "used", didn't come with anything, but I would like to upgrade to the latest ROM. I tried reading the sticky thread on top, but i got confused. I followed the steps, but I couldn't find the file that he stated on there. Then I just tried to upgrade it by clicking "next" on the "welcome to device software update utility" window, but that also failed, it said, "the ROM update you're trying to install is not for the device". Can anyone guide me through this?
Hi
Explain your problem better. Some specifics please.
Maybe you just need to use cracked baupgradeut.exe utility, because you try to upgrade with rom that's correct for your device but from other vendor.
Hello, thanks for replying !
I'm trying to upgrade the ram by using the ROMs stored here: ftp://xda-developers.com/Magician/Shipped_ROMS/
I've tried several of them, but whenever it reaches the end, it keeps saying wrong country code. I thought mine was a WWE, but that didn't work and I tried the UK, that also didn't work.
Dear Friend,
You should dawnload Maupgrade_noID.exe and extract all files from the ROMs in ftp shipped and than put this Maupgrade file in the same folder with the extracted files from the ftp ROM and then run Maupgrade_noID.exe. First time you will get again wrong ID code but you will need to run again Maupgrade_noID.exe and it will work. Attached Maupgrade_noID.exe.

Hi there,
My currently installed Rom was RUU-Prophet-G4-AKU2.2-2.20-2.47.21-Jester-r1.exe. (thank you jester for you good job)
Nevertheless, this ROM is in English and I wanted to downgrade to a French One before the selling of my device.
I have tried to install the downgrade kit detailed in this topic : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=267344
The first step went OK but while trying to make the secnd step, my qtek is blocked at the boot splash screen showing the Jesterz picture and red information about the SPL and so on on the upper left corner... without starting... The USB connexion is not detected so I can't do anything... While trying to install any ROM, the USB connection is not detected ang I get an error message...
Did I kill my phone ?
Please help ! Tell me that it's not dead....
Don't worry, its nowhere close to being dead. If you have superCid, then use the SD card image to restore in bootloader mode. However, if the Cid is locked, then you would need a utility that can unlock Cid without Activesync mode (coz in your case, you would not be able to get an Activesync connection). imei-check.co.uk has a utility ($38 i guess) that unlocks Cid in bootloader.--- else show it to a professional. (in my country, I would have to shell out around $20 to get such a problem fixed at a mobile repair shop)

Just take out the battery for about 10 minutes and re-insert. If it does not re-start, do a soft resert with the stylus and hopefully you should be fine
Hy,please help!
after downgrade, it doesnt work anymore.... i mean... i cant start the mobile!
after the downgrade i disable the USB data cable and now the mobile is dead... it doesnt starts from the ON/OFF Button and even if i connect the USB cable it makes nothing! No Led on... nothing! absolutly DEAD!!!
I have tried to put off the battery all night long with no result.. but I have achieved to reach the bootloader mode by pressing the camera button while soft reseting and keeping the camera button pushed...
OMG, I have been so scared ! ! !
Try this in order to reach the bootloader:
Hold down the camera button and reset the device. (Boot Loader Mode is: Press Camara + Soft Reset, then release soft reset and KEEP PRESSING camara button till appear the Boot Loader.)
it doesnt work
I seem to have a simular problem. this is my post in another topic. It seems to fit better here.
This is what I tired so far:....
I used the RUU_Prophet_2151327_21513121_021921_DOP_ASIA_WWE_S hip-NoVendorID and it often hangs and was slow with Push Email over GPRS.
I tried to find a way to downgrade but hadn't had time sofar. When I logged on XDA Developers Site I saw there was a new Image.
So I thought Great I dont need to find how to downgrade.
I don't know what G4 and G3 is so as everybody let's try the higest best one.
I uploaded the RUU-Prophet-G4-AKU3.3-Jester-b1
Wrong...
Now as previously stated I get to the multicolor screen with IPL 2.09 and the SPL 2.20..0001 on the screen and that's it.
I can get to the bootloader and load the same image again and get the same result.
I can load another image on and it loads to 80 Percent and says error [326] Invalid Command This NBF cannot be used with your PDA Phone. Please check your NBF file.
If I try an older Version it tells me upgrad only
And when I try to upload the G3 version it tells me error[300] invalid upgrade tool. This upgrade utility canot be used for your PDA Phone. Please get newer Upgrade utility.
Trying to use the nf.nbf or the G3 with the ROMUpdateUtility_NoID of the G4 doesn't work either.
If I would like to do the downgrade tool I need a Active Sync connection which I don't have.
I have no more thoughts. Please Help.
If you would have just read the forums better you would have known if your device is a G3 or a G4. (read this!).
Now it appears you have tried both for an update. Which may possibly have bricked your phone.
But... first things first. Can you get into the bootloader? (read wiki HERE on how to do that).
If you can still get into the bootloader then there is still a possibility for updating.
Try upgrading with the latest Qtek rom (note: this is an official rom, this one works for both G3 and G4! And since it's the latest you should be able to upgrade to this one).
Instructions quoted from another post of me:
You could try the 2.20 qtek rom which seems to be working well for quite some people (found here).
Although you have to make sure you read that thread good and use the ROMUpdateUtility_NoID.exe (found here ) to upgrade.
Update instructions:
1: With the qtek 2.20 rom you need to extract the zip and the exe file in the zip with WinRAR.
2: Then there is one folder called 'OutputFile' and a folder called 'RUU_TOOLS'.
Inside the RUU_TOOLS there is prophet and in that one WWE, when you go through them and in the WWE folder you see a bunch of files (readme.doc, enterbootloader.exe etc etc).
You need to copy ROMUpdateUtility_NoID.exe to the WWE folder with all the files. And you also need to copy the 'nk.nbf' file to the WWE folder (from the 'OutputFile' folder).
3: And then you need to put your phone in bootloader mode and run ROMUpdateUtility_NoID.exe to upgrade, which should work nicely then.

This should give you a good enough idea of what to do. This should work (new rom combined with no NoID updater).
However, if it's impossible to get yourself into the bootloader your options of upgrading your device are getting smaller.
Downgrading of a complete rom is only possible on a CID unlocked G3 (when it's CID unlocked you would know! because you would have done that yourself) and not on a G4 device.
Flasing a G3 device with a G4 rom or G4 device with a G3 rom might possibly turn your phone into a brick. This can easily be avoided by reading the forums properly and know what you are doing.
If anything (even if it's a small thing) is not completely clear to you about upgrading/downgrading your device I'd recommend not doing so.
edit: oh yeah... if you have a G4 device (which you should know by now) you cannot downgrade from this rom (well, only via a payed online service). And when you have a G3 device you could try and CID unlock it (read wiki + forums) before you want to downgrade, or don't downgrade at all.
But whatever you do, don't try to downgrade it without doing any of those things because you'll get into trouble. (to put it down bluntly)

If you have reached the bootloader screen, just run my installer (or any official ROM) to get your phone working again.
My Prophet Died
I need help, to restore my Prophet, i upgrade wrong rom, i need will try the SD Backup, where can i see this process ?
Sorry my Inglish is too bad.
I've merged a couple of threads under this one, as they are all about the same problem (mostly)
Opening a new thread for the same problem isnt very useful
Hi RaptorRVL
Thank you very much for your patience in resuming all this for me.
I do try to read the forum but it isn't like a manual where you find the procedure stepby step. Like the G3 and G4 version I have newer come across until now. Sorry.
I tried the image you metioned and I have the result that at 80% it tells me error [326] Invalid Command This NBF cannot be used with your PDA Phone. Please check your NBF file
Any more thoughts?
As you seem to be an expert Can you let me know more about goldcard solution.
Cheers
Mick
From a readme I once found inside an update:
* ERROR [320~328] : INVALID COMMAND
These errors seldom occur. However, if one of these errors occur, it could not be recovered and the device had to be sent back to the customer service center. In this case, you have to flash a new ROM code.

Doesn't sound too good really. Maybe someone else here on the forums know what to do with this error :/
You did use the ROMUpdateUtility_NoID.exe and not the normal updater right? Can remember someone getting a similar error when using the wrong updater, but I'm not sure about that though...
edit: try doing a search on the prophet forums for "INVALID COMMAND" maybe there is a helpful post in there somewhere...
THANKS!! I was worried b/c i had the same problem today. I've been looking for so many threads abt this problem. Thanks for ur help guys!
same problem
so i have the same problem. I want to downgrade and it break at 95% invalid file. But now XDA is still alive. I can`t go into the bootloader but i tried this file: RUU_Prophet_220734_2207114_024721_NVID.exe
and now my Prophet is still running again. Hope i can help you. Good luck.

P.S. sorry for my english, but its good to learn it again
First off, I have read every thread mentioning error 260, every wiki about upgrading, and have not been able to fix my problem.
I am trying to upgrade to Schap's newest 6.0 ROM, not the 6.1. I currently have the OEM 5.0 ROM that came on the device from AT&T. I can connect via activesync perfectly. No issues there at all. When I run the upgrade program, it gets all the way to the status bar showing 0% or 1%, then the phone and computer disconnect the activesync connection, the phone goes back to the today screen, and my computer shows error 260.
I have seen posts saying I need to install HardSPL. I tried that and get error 260 there also.
I have seen posts about installing JumpSPL, I tried that and it only locks the phone up. I must do a soft reset to bring it back to life.
I found the instructions on upgrading the ROM via the SD card. I followed those and renamed the .nbh file and copied it to the fat32 formatted sd card in the phone. Where do the rest of the files go??? The .nbh file cannot possibly contain the entire rom, right? The instructions leave that part out from what I can see.
Help!
u have the at&t OEM 5.0 rom?? are u sure u are in the right device forum?
and yes the nbh file contains the whole rom

Installing HardSPL is not optional...it is a requirement. This is what allows a non-factory ROM to be installed on the phone. If it's a Tilt, there have been all sorts of issues with HardSPL installing on different Tilt revisions (most of which have been fixed, I believe). Go directly to the stickies. Do not pass go. Do not collect $200.
Once you have HardSPL on your phone...DO NOT FLASH THE ROM YET. Go directly to the Wiki for the Tilt. Do not pass go. Do not collect $200.
Why? Because if you weren't aware that you absolutely positively MUST have HardSPL installed before trying to flash a ROM...you haven't read enough. Sorry if I sound like I'm being short with you...I'm really not. I'm just trying to keep you from bricking your phone.
Edit: oh...good catch XtreMe...didn't even register the 5.0 reference when I read that...perhaps a Hermes (or rather...Cingular 8525)?
ah ha! Wrong forum. I started in the Hermes thread, and through all my searching must have ended up in the Kaiser thread. Sorry! I will repost over there.
Happened to me a few times and some posts said to turn off the firewall.
After some testing I found a change which allowed a USB connection to my Kaiser.
Make sure your firewall allows the application "wcescomm.exe" to have full access via your firewall.
This applies to application based firewalls like McAfee. For port based firewalls you will need to find out the ports used for inbound and outbound comms.
That I cannot help with.
Hope that helps you.
Also you may need to run as either a superuser or administrator under Windows. I run my machine as a restricted user and I got the same error.
I cannot flash any rom. I've tried one of Dutty's and I tried the HyperDragon version. With each, I got to the step of running the KaiserCustomRUU, clicked through the screens and at about 18% complete, it freezes due to some communications error. Can someone help? I've seen these cool ROMS online and just can't get it to work. Here's what I did
1. Synched TILT with PC and moved JUMPSPL1.93-Kais.exe and JUMPSPL1.56-Kais.exe(I've tried both) to the sync folder.
2. Run the file from my TILT, following the unplugging steps mentioned in all the guides online.
3. Run the KaiserCustomRUU file from my sync folder on the pc...follow screenpops, then at 18% I get the error. I try the error recovery with no luck...
I'm completely stumped...I've been able to avoid a "brick" whatever that is, by downloading the ROM from the HTC site to save my phone, but unable to set up a new ROM....AHHHH!!!
So after running JUMPSPL1.93-Kais.exe, which hard SPL are you trying to install so you can flash a custom ROM? When you say you run the KaiserCustomRUU file on your PC, what else is in the "sync" folder?
I recommend you read the Wiki more thoroughly; make sure you know exactly what you're doing.
Completely Unable to Flash ROM
I downloaded a folder called Kaiser-HardSPL-3.29. In this folder I have KaiserCustomRUU.exe (which is what I ran). there is also a file called Kaiser-HardSPL-3.29.nbh. Only the .exe is the executable file so that's the only one I could click on.
I've tried navigating a few beginner guides on this website and they still seem designed for people who have somewhat of an idea of what they are doing. I don't
Read and follow the steps in the first post in the attached thread, it's the best one I've found yet.

That thread definitely lays out the steps for me, but the problem I'm having is when I flash the hardspl3.29. That's when I get the pops ups on my pc, which I click through, and when the progress bar gets to 18%, It says I've had some sort of communications error. it did this both times I attempted it.

Read the wiki and step by step instructions "how to install HardSPL".
READ IT.
Step.... by..... step.... its easy.
So you've installed HardSPL 3.29? Did the whole unplug/plug in thing? And THEN tried to install the ROM?

Do you have to do the unplug/plug thing?
I did it the first time when I flash to hardSPL 3.05... then when I hardSPL it to 3.29 again, I didn't have to do that. It just run by itself.
I'm not sure; I always did. I suppose not if you didn't and the procedure still worked.

Make sure you use,.
Win XP SP2 or higher
Active sync 4.5
and net framework installed on your pc
USB cable that came with kaiser box,.
Thats usually the main reason for cant upgrade ROM,.
SPL and CID thing is not related if you failed in upgrading process,.
Hope this help,.
