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.

qtek 1.06 ROM Upgrade works!

i always tried to flash my rom using the new upgrade tool - when using old header and old tool, upgrade works perfectly.
You just have to edit the change.bat for your own demands. At the state you download it, it is configured to change header into T-Mobile WWE version.
click here
Code:
run change.bat first, then MaUpgradeUt.exe
André

I have the dutch T-mobile MDA Compact.
Will this patch work on it?
And with the upgrade do i get Swedish dialpad/keyboard?
Want to keep everything english if possible.

should work; guess you dont even have to edit the change.bat before excecuting.
you'll get a qtek dialer (which is only slightly different from the windows original since it uses a (nice looking) skin - the dialer itself is the same as the original)
if you dont want to have this stuff install you can skip installation via reset and install the things you wish manually.
André

Well the skin is no problem, i choose my own skins after instal.
But what worries me is that T9 is swedish after this upgrade?
Swedish words are useless for me, i want them english.

Did you tried it by yourself? Your change.bat is not complete, you forgot to convert nbf to nba. That's why change.bat do nothing.
Then, as I already wrote several days ago - I did the same what you are suggesting - old tool with new files. It crashed my device totally, I cannot do anything to repair. So, be careful

Thanks!!!!
I have edited change.bat with imate operator (CDL_404) and flashed successfully!!!! Work perfectly!
Thank you again!

@landau:
of course i tried it by myself. you may have noticed that the nba-files are already in the archive so they dont need to be decoded from any nbf files (actually that was the problem: xda3nbftool cant decrypt these new format nbf-files).
so just run change.bat and flash it!

@justifier:
t9 offers several languages, english, french, german, ... unfortunately no dutch. if you want dutch, just take the t9.cab out of your own ext rom and install it manually. after the upgrade you wont find any swedish things on your mda luckily.

Thanks quappo, it worked perfectly.
By the way, the UK version of the T-mob MDA Compact has id T-MOB005, not T-MOB101, so you have to alter that in change.bat to get it to work. For others here who're as clueless as me: to find your operator ID, all you have to do is:
1) copy getdevicedata.exe to your Magician and run it
2) look at \windows\devicedata.txt, it starts with something like: PM10A 0 A WWE E T-MOB005. Whatever you have instead of the T-MOB005 is your operator code, stick that in change.bat instead.
3) run change.bat
4) run the update!

archive is up now.
if new problems occur, please post here. we would have to secure the archive via password then :-(

See my above post.
U copy getdevicedata.exe to magician, doesn't mather wich map.
Click on this file with stylus.
Now browse to /windows/devicedata.txt ON YOUR DESKTOP PC and copy it to your DESKTOP.
Now you can open it with word or notepad and you will see that the code is much longer than what you see on your magician.
You gotta browse to the right in notepad to see the rest.
Good luck.

You can just do like for the upgrade...extract the update files in to a folder, then delet the other to files...leave just the radio.nfb (or sth like it...don`t know the exact name ) and run the update...thats it.

Hi PC78,
Thanks for your reply, however I don't understand...... here are the files that I have (from the 1.05 update package):
EnterBL.exe
GetDeviceData.exe
MaUpgradeUt.exe
radio_.nbf
RUU.conf
RUU.dll
which files I need to delete or keep? please advise

This files are just for radio upgrade!...as U can see there is only the radio_.nbf file...the other two files are missing and it`s OK for just radio update. U can do as jykk said...extract the ROM 1.01 version and delet other two nbf files and than put the file "MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe" and run it. That`s it!
Regards,
Primoz
p.s. I have just deleted the other two files and it worked for me without the "MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe". :roll:

I think now the problem is how I can get the 1.01 radio_.nbf ......... are you give me some ideas on how to extract the rom to three nbf files?

You can get the rom from the xda-ftp...look for shipped roms and find the oldest version. When U get it just click once on the file...and with the right click on the mouse chose to extract the rom in a directory of your choice. The first version of the rom is 1.03...When U have extracted the rom contents just delete the other two nbf files...and procede with upgrade as I described above.

Upgrading to Radio 1.13

I'm trying to upgrade my spv m500 to 1,13 radio that I danloaded from ftp and there is model ID error.
How can I upgrade and avoid Model ID error????
Thanks

Are you sure the 1.13 radio is for Magician? I thought it was for BlueAngel

Yes, it's for Magician. I installed my version months ago, works perfect! I got no errors at all, just installed.
Sure you got the right version? I used a WWE version.

Yes, I danloaded from Magician ftp only radio 1.13 and one with maupgrade as well and still model ID error

I have the same problem

Is there anyone to help and explain step by step how to upgrade with 1.13 radio in Magician.
Thanks

Does this v1.13 solve the known 'GPRS cannot re-connect' issue?

I need 2.

?? help neone?

does it work for O2 XDA Mini????
If it does, i would like to give it a try...been going after this thread for months to get the solution but no go....

Anyone can help how to update the radio without 'Model ID Error'?
I have upgraded mine to NL_11300_131_11200, but I cannot upgrade the radio as rilazi encountered.

If you have a problem with the ID error, use the attached file instead of MaUpgradeUt. The one you need to use is MaUpgradeUt_NoId, not the one included in the original zip file.

I'm afraid that the MaUpgradeUt_NoId only works for the OS-upgrade, not for the Radio-upgrade (or is it just me?)...
I get this message: MaUpgradeUt_NoId.exe: This application has failed to start because RUU.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem.
I also tried adding
[CHECKCEID_TYPE]=1
to the HTCRUU.conf file (like we do in the RUU.conf file during a OS-upgrade) but with no success.
Any suggestions?

It worked for me after I upgraded to T-Mob 1.13 ROM. Don't know why it's not working on yours. Did you download the Radio from ftp?

I have same problems.

Here is the way step by step:
1. Dawnload previous MaUpgradeUt_noID in this page
2. Dawnload MagicianRadio_1.13.00_maupgrade from ftp
3. Unzip MagicianRadio_1.13.00_maupgrade and paste there MaUpgradeUt_noID
4. When you unzip MagicianRadio_1.13.00_maupgrade you will get several files including HTCRUU.dll and rename this file to only RUU.dll
5. Run MaUpgradeUt_noID first and you will get Model ID error
6. Run for the second time you will Update Radio

This is what I used ...
