How to upgrade with the latest I-mate Jam ROM --GUIDE--

Hi,
Firstly: HAPPY NEW YEAR !!
After some searching and trail by error testing I have sucesfuly upgrade my German T-Mobile MDA with the latest Jam rom from the I-mate website.
ROM version 1.03.00 WWE
Radio version 1.01.00
ExtROM version 1.03.141 WWE
I am not resposible for any damages !!! It should work perfectly !!
First Step:
You need to download the latest ROM (English version!!!).
http://www.clubimate.com/Support/ma_cdlsku2_arb_10300_141_10100_ship.exe
After download run it.
When you see a screen with "welcome to device software update utility", do nothing and go to your TEMP directory of windows. I you don't know where to look do a search for this file name: MaUpgradeUt.exe
When you have located the directory that hold this file copy the complete contents, 8 files. To a directory on your PC eg: c:\jam
Then cancel/close the "welcome to device software update utility"
Second step:
You need to find out the Operator code and language of you device.
If you have a MDA Compact from germany, the Operator code is: T-MOB101
If you have a German language ROM your code is: GER
If you have a UK ROM the Language code is: WWE
Third Step:
Download xda3nbftool.exe, and put it in the same directory as the 8 ROM files.
Fourth Step:
Build a batch file, name it change.bat or whatever you like in the directory where you put ROM files.
Paste the following in it:
------------------------------- paste the data below ------------------------
xda3nbftool -x ms_.nbf ms_.nba 0x20040522
xda3nbftool -x nk.nbf nk.nba 0x20040521
xda3nbftool -x radio_.nbf radio_.nba 0x20040523
xda3nbftool -so T-MOB101 -sl WWE ms_.nba
xda3nbftool -so T-MOB101 -sl WWE nk.nba
xda3nbftool -so T-MOB101 -sl WWE radio_.nba
xda3nbftool -c -u NK.nba
xda3nbftool -c -u ms_.nba
xda3nbftool -c -u Radio_.nba
xda3nbftool -x ms_.nba ms_.nbf 0x20040522
xda3nbftool -x nk.nba nk.nbf 0x20040521
xda3nbftool -x radio_.nba radio_.nbf 0x20040523
del *.nba
--------------------- paste the data above --------------------
This data is for a MDA Compact from T-mobile, with a UK language.
If you have a German Language change the WWE to GER in the file.
Fifth Step:
Go to a Command Promt and change to the directory you have places all the files in. Then run your batch file. It give's some errors maybe about a password but ignore those, it works !
Sixth step:
Run the MaUpgradeUt.exe program in the directory, it should start the UPGRADE. If not then you have not changed the language or operator code sucsesfully.
Last step:
If you have reset your device after the upgrade, be sure to skid the Extended ROM install. Install the apps you need manualy from the EXT-Rom. Or you will end up with some arabic nonsense.
Some tips:
If you want to find out your Operator Code and Language of you device:
In the directory you should have a file called: GetDeviceData.exe copy this file to your device. On the device run it, it looks like it does not work but that is fine! Now go with you PC to your windows directory on your device. You should find a file called DeviceData.txt there. Copy it to your PC and open it with notepad.
You should see something like this:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PM10A 0 A WWE E T-MOB101
1.01.00 0 0 1.03.141 1.00.10 WWE
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
The PM10A is the Device code
The WWE stands for English language, if you have a different language it hould say so. German would be GER.
The T-MOB101 is the Operator code.
If you have different info there use it for the batch file. Language an operator code.
Good luck everybody !!! And I will try to provide more info if needed !

thanks for the info mate.... but did you notice any change in the quality of the sound of the earphone after changing to imate jam's rom??

Hi,
I have ever used the earphone... So no idea if it changed...
I use a Bluetooth carkit and a Bluespoon AX...
Cheers

Thanks pinoo it worked for my compact! Now the question is will we be able to make our own extended ROM?

katsj
have you noticed any difference in sound quality moving from tmobile WWE to imate??
Thank you

The sound was a bit better with T-Mobile's ROM but I know that imate is about to release a new rom fixing the sound quality and even improving the compatibility of the sandisk WiFi+256MB RAM SD card.
More than that at a friend's JAM who had problems with high distortion of the sound and the sound was coming and go we manage to fix it by opening his JAM and bending the speaker's contact legs so the force of the contacts of the speaker against the motherboard solved the coming and go of the speaker and fixed the distorion! It is a hardware issue but not a serious one! I guess we will be able to fix it easily in the nearest service center!

katsj, could you please post picture and steps in how to do that........ we have no service centers over here....

I currently have a MDA with these ROM versions (and Imate ext ROM):
ROM 1.01.00 WWE
Radio 1.00.10
ExtROM 1.03.141 WWE
What would be de benefits in upgrading to this new Imate ROM?
My MDA works fine now, also I use a Sandisk 256MB+Wifi card without problems.

can't worked

Sorry but I would never do it again at least not before JAM 6 will be released! :lol:
It was a nightmare! Not so hard but if you don't know what to do and you are living to be scared of breaking a part of the case then you would never do it again! Next time that someone else shows up brave enough to hand me his JAM for that kind of surgery I will make sure that I take some pictures! :wink:

What are the improvements of this ROM compared to T-Mobile's WWE? I noticed that i-mate's is 1.01.00 while imate's is 1.03.00. Are the changes documented anywhere?

Please, prompt me where to copy a file - xda3nbftool
Hi Pinooo
Please, prompt me where to copy a file - xda3nbftool. The file which is at you, at copying is designated by a name - xda3nbftool_307.

Hi,
Just rename it... so delte the _307 part.... :wink:
Cheers

Same question here: I have extROM: 1.01.124: what would the 1.03 bring new?
Thanks a lot,
Belgo

so far, so good
Yeah! Thanks a lot!
I've just started to upgrade my MDA. No more Country problem. So far, so good. I got 50% to go. Waiting, smoking, waiting, smoking.
Upgrading radio... passed
upgrading Ext ROM... passed
upgrading CE ROM... passed
hard reset... YEAH! Lets go get a drink!!!
THANKS! THANKS! THANKS! THANKS! THANKS! THANKS! THANKS!

Hello,
i'm new here and this is my first pocket pc (the imate jam)
does anybody know how to unlock it?
greetings,
pim

Great!
Yeah! It worked for me too (from GER to WWE). Thanks!!!!
Will it work the same way when IMate releases the update? Please let us know in this forum.
Thanks again!

Hi,
Good to hear my work is apreciated...
My gues is that when I-mate relaeses a new update you can just run the file and it will work.... because ou already changed the info. But We will have to wait for a update to be sure....
I am waiting for the new update with the Sandisk Wifi fix...
Cheers,
Remco

Is this method working to turn a German MDA to English, or its an English upgrade?

Hey. I can't get this step to work.
Maupgradeut.exe is not recognisedas an internal or external command...
I have the German version and I have renamed the batch file.

I cant understand the DEVICEDATA.TXT

I tried to upgrade my rom 1.11 to 1.12 in french on my Qtek S100 but I cant because an error of country id appears. so I tried to use rom editor but it asks for a pssword, and the most important is that when I use the file GetDeviceData.exe I find different order than that you have mentioned here in the file DeviceData.txt
anyone knows the solutions please !!!
I attached the file here

Thanks to compumad.

Upgrading Imate-Jam Problem Please Help

Please help me to upgrade rom of my imate-jam. I have
Model No.: PM10A
Rom version: 1.03.00 wwe
Radio version: 1.01.00
Protocol version: 1337.38
ExtRom version: 1.03.141 wwe
I downloaded the rom file generic worldwide english from the support page.But when installation starts it says Country ID error N_12_12_12 something like that and says please download correct rom for your device. Which file I should download or how I can upgrade please help me...........................................

wiki
Pls read the magician wiki (top right link on the page) section about upgrading with the exe method & get maupgradeut_noid.exe to bypass this error.
Regards, M

please help
I tried the link you said but in my rom file there is no maupgrade file . instead it is Romupgrade file and ms_.nb not like ms.nb1 etc. please help me some one says that i need the country check by pass utility where is it???

Did you read yhe whole upgrade from shipped-rom section????
Maupgradeut_noid.exe replaces romupgrade.exe in this case.
Cheers

I tried it but no way. it says please download the correct version for your rom this is not the correct rom. PLease helpme to upgrade my jam.I am so worried. I replaced the romupgrade file with maupgrade but still wrong Rom.

Try the Dutch 1.13WWE it's English & will fit the description in the wiki. First update without patching. Just extract all files & put maupgradeut_noid in the same folder & execute that one twice!
If it's a succes, then patch for BS. Make a copy of your own ext-rom before updating, cause your operator settings for gprs etc. are in one of those cab-files.
Regards, M

Please tell me where is the patch bs I can dowload and the rom file?????????????????????????

Read this, I think it explains a lot http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=MagicianRomUpgrade

Thanks god and thanks all of you. No need to download the dutch. I just putt off the device use bootloader then connected the device following your and wikis previous instruction to maupgrade_noid.exe and replaces the romupgrade.exe and finally I got this:
Rom Version: 1.12.00 wwe
Radio version: 1.12.10
ExtRom version: 1.12.128 wwe
Is this the proper upgrade???

It looks pretty good, how's your storage folder? It may not be the latest rom, that's 1.13, but the differences are probably very small.

Downgrade Radio 1.13.00 to 1.12.00?

Hi Guys,
sorry for my english, it´s not the best!
After searching for hours, i have to post this Topic.
I have an xda mini from O2. I have flashed the Radio Version to
1.13.00. I´m unsatisfied with this Version. I think the audio quality
is not so good. Anyway.
How can i downgrade the Radio Version 1.13.00 to the Radio Version
1.12.00?
Please help me.
Greetz

You should be able to downgrade in the same as you upgraded. Only now supply the 1.12 radio, eg from a 1.13WWE rom.
Haven't tried it myself, but this must be the way to do it. Otherwise you need to reflash your whole rom with a shipped-rom or rom-image containing the 1.12 radio and your current (GER I think) CE & ext-rom.
Regards, M

1. Download a ROM for your Magician (O2) containing Radio 1.12.
2. Extract it to a folder using WinRar or whatever. Now you have a folder containing 3 big files and a lot of small files.
3. Keep the big file named Radio and delete the other two.
4. Run the .exe file and only your radio will be flashed.

ok it works. thank u guys. Puh

german rom from QTEK (Howto?! / Questions)

Hiho,
I have a Swisscom branded QTEK S200 atm running Dopod, but actually I'd like to install this:
GER_RUU_Prophet_215742_2157131_023021_QTEK.exe
But I get the Vendor ID Error and I didnt find a usefull way to trick it, should it be possible to install the ROM above?
Wheres the right Howto to remove that Vendor ID problem?
MY Qtek:
ROM: 2.15.13.27 WWE
ROM Date: 3/9/06
Radio: 02.19.21
Protocol: 4.1.23.09
ExtROM: 2.15.13.121
What is that with those G3 G4 chips, how do I find it out?
What else do you have to know to help me installing the ROM above?
How can I edit the registry, can I just connect with my regedit.exe on my computer to my qtek?
TIA!

Check the files on the ftp, i think there is a Update-Program that doesnt check the vendor ID.
And please upload the Rom
Edit:

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=273114&highlight=vendor

Acutally I think I understand something wrong :-\
I want to upgrade my Qtek to the version I posted in that thread. But I get the error with the Vendor ID, mhh, ok.
The links u gave point to another ROM.
Erm, isnt that easy to understand...
Of course I'll upload as soon I get permission in the upload folder :\

As far as i understand the previous threads:
-Download the mentioned Rom with the NoVendorID Update Utility.
- then take your Rom you want to flash on your unit
- Proceed as described in the threads
Check www.phm.lu for a Registry editor on your device
You could upload to www.rapidshare.de ,then i would also try to upload to the ftp

Uploading it to radpidshare right now, will post link when done.
Mhh, so I downloaded that noVendor ID.
do I have to replace that nk.nbf? (extract it somehow from the exe installer I have?) or do I have to flash it twice?
1) with the noVendor rom
2) with my Qtek rom
sorry, i'm confused )

I would say (though i haven't done that before as i was also searching for the right rom) Unzip the novendorid rom and replace the .nbf file with the german qtek file.
At least worth a try

Mhh, there is the ROM:
http://rapidshare.de/files/34895878/GER_RUU_Prophet_215742_2157131_023021_QTEK.exe.html
Mhh, I'm wondering how to extract the .exe to get the *.nbf
Mhh....
If you have/want addme to msn: [email protected]
=)

Open the File with Winrar. You should be able to extract the files.
I do not use msn, sorry
BTW: Thank you for the ROM !

rom
ftp://xda:[email protected]_RUU_Prophet_215742_2157131_023021_QTEK.exe
the rom was already uploaded.

I know
It is the Rom Purp uploaded to rapidshare before.
