JAFWM-May not be the answer to flashing difficult prophets

Bought JAFWM yesterday and here is what I have found:
-Tried flashing New Jamin Rom
Result-Stuck in perpetual reset mode most of the time
When I did manage to get out of the automatic reset loop here is what I found:
1. Radio rom was not installed (=no phone, wifi, bluetooth functionality
2. device had incredibly poor response to any commands (severe lag issues)
3. Basic functionality (even without phone) was very bad
-Tried flashing Qtek Rom
Result-similar as imate (listed above)
1. No radio rom
2. device had better response than imate rom but still poor
Flashed back to shipped dopod 818 pro rom
-Thank God my device returned to normal (radio rom was installed this time)
Conclusion:
I don't think JAFWM can unlock CID (based on my exerience)
If their are any JAFWM experts out there please let me know if there is a way to get the radio rom installed with the new ROMS (ie. QTEK,IMATE)
If JAFWM can't unlock the CID than there is no advantage to using this device other than it's user friendly interface (which is quite easy for unexperienced rom flashers)
Still waiting for Dopod's new rom (that seems to be my only answer for AKU2)

I tried flash my Dopod 818 pro to any rom such as Jamin or Qtek S200 by JAFWM and all run well.
You should know when to keep the bootloader and when to skip it.
If you want to play ROM JAMIN in your Dopod 818 pro, do like I did:
1. Use JAFWM downgrade bootloader to 1.0 by flashing Dopod818pro_WWE_1001321_10013102_11320_Ship without skip bootloader.
2. Unlock CID by aWizard. JAFWM will have function unlock soon be sure.
3. If you want to play ROM JAMIN with OS 2.0 do: use JAFWM flash RUU_Prophet_2100728_21007109_020720_QtekDAN_Ship without skip bootloader. Then flash JAMin_WWE_2130923_21309112_020720_ship. Cos as I know, only Qtek Rom can upgrade both IPL and SPL. And Dopod Rom can downgrade both. JAMin can not.
And if you just need to upgrade your radio only, you have to dump it to nba file, then use aWizard burn it to you phone. Cos the package of Prophet ROM always exits with 1 file nk.nbf.
If you use JAFWM mobility with other software, it'll greatly help.
That's my experience, hope your PDA work well

Thanks for the feedback, in case JAFWM have some bug, your post will help me to debug it. It would help me also if you could post here your JAFWMLOG.txt , you can find it in same dir JAFWM.exe is located.
But I will check it also myself and will post result here, but sofar i know there are not any problems known until now. However, i have no NEO i will buy one at monday and play little bit. Maybe os not match bootloader or whatever, but let see after i have my NEO.

JAFWM-CAN FLASH DIFFICULT PROPHETS>>>IT REALLY WORK
Thanks TA_mobile
I did as you recommended and it worked!
JAFWM does what it is supposed to do...

Re: JAFWM-CAN FLASH DIFFICULT PROPHETS>>>IT REALLY
Today played little bit with my Qtek s200. I flashed it with with follow roms:
JAMin_WWE_ 2130923_21309112_020720_ship
RUU_Prophet_1001321_10013102_11320_DopodAsia_Ship
I did not unlock any CID before and all functions was normal. I did it with skipped and witout skipped bootloader flash. If any one have any problem with a secific rom, plz tell me and i will test it.
All this tests we has done with the new version (1.3beta) released today. You can download from http://forums.phone-tools.cn/showthread.php?t=9411 and try it.

Hello ta_mobile,
After flashing Dopod ROM into my Xda Neo using JAF without skip IPL/SPL, I got IPL=1.0 and SPL=2.09 and the device stucked at the bootloader mode with 3 colors and could not load the OS. I then flashed Neo with Qtek ROM 2.09 skiping IPL/SPL. My Neo works fine but now I have IPL 1.0 and SPL 2.09, I could not unlock CID using aWizard. Is there any way to get SPL 1.0 and do CID unlock????
Thanks

Hello,
i have an German O2 Neo and sometimes Problems with CID unlocking for Flashing. Start aWizard an use the option "e". Then show on youre XDA and start the enablerapi.cab on youre XDA. At next use aWizard with the option unlockCID and test flashing!
With this Method i can backup my Neo with aWizard and flash the new Jamin ROM, the Qtek ROM not. Rebackup to German ROM also OK but only the OS, the BootScreen (SplashScreen) not.
Sry for my miserable english!

Is my phone cid locked?

How can I tell if my phone is cid-locked, I would really like to change the ROM without the risk of bricking it. Has anyone one tried lokiwiz to cidunlock their phone? any advice would be appreciated. BTW I bought the phone from gray market in Hong Kong and is Vodafone branded, do you think it would be locked?
It came preloaded with Dopod Rom, but I don't like it that much. Also what is the best radio rom, the dopod radio rom is a bit weak.
IPL 2.15.0001
SPL 2.15.0001
Rom vs: 2.15.13.27 WWE
Radio: 02.19.21
Protocol version: 4.1.13.09
Ext ROM: 2.15.13.21
Thanks

you are on G4, so yes you are still CID locked.
Normally when you flash your rom you will know imediately when it try to update.

so should I try to flash a rom and see what happens? if it goes through without an error it is cid unlocked? if an error pops up it is locked? Should I try this or should I avoid the risks? Any ROM suggestions? Qtek maybe?

Since your phone is G4 chip, i'm pretty sure you are CID locked. Dont worry about the CID locking for now, GOOD ROMS outthere been using different programs to get around CID locking problem. I suggest you can start with PDAMobiz rom from the other thread. REMEMBER USE G4 program not G3 or other programs. or look for any rom that has NoVender CID in the name.

MDA VARIO II with Dopod WM6
I recently bought Tmobile MDA Vario ii with Dopod Wm6. When it boots it shows dopod sign so I think it is dopod. The ROM is 3.54.707.3.
I want to upgrade to Wm6.1 but Tmobile has only official 3.60.xx rom presently available for download. Can I directly flash any Hermis compatible ROM on MDA Vario II.?
Since it has Dopod WM6 the CID lock must have been diabled I suppose. Am I right? and should I directly flash any HERMIS official or extended ROM? what are your suggestions Thanks
Hemant

I don't know enough about the Hermes and flashing to be certain, but I think you'll need to HardSPL (which bypasses bootloader CID checks) before flashing a ROM.
Take a look at the Hermes sub fora before doing anything though...

Jamin WWE No Vendor ID

Hi there,
Since I installed the latest dopod 818 Pro WWE ROM on my Qtek S200, I have some trouble with the device now and then. It unexpectedly reboots while having conversations after which it can't find my service provider. Then when I disable and re-enable the phone in communications manager it finds the network again. Sometimes calls are not coming through either. I did not have any of these problems with the old Qtek S200 NL ROM.
I also tried different radio roms. 2.19.21, 2.20.21, 2.30.21, no luck.
I like to try the Jamin ROM. Is there anyone who know where I can find a NoVendorID version of the latest Jamin WWE ROM? I tried the regular one in combination with the ROMupdateUtility.exe of the Dopod NoVendorID ROM, but this gives an error at 80% while flashing. After that I was only able to enter the bootloader mode of my S200. So I flashed it once again with the Dopod 818 Pro ROM.
Thanks!
Kind regards,
Dennis

Yeh, I would like to have the No Vendor ID JAMin WWE Rom, too. Could some one please make that? I still do not like the dopod ROM for some reasons. JAMin ROM is still my best choice.

I didn't see the rom you mentioned, but if you CID unlosck your device first, you can go to: ftp://ftp.clubimate.com/ and choose the rom you like, I mean, the language you wish. Go for it and luck!
The tools for CID unlock your device is, on XDA-Wiki, just up!

I have a G4 prophet. Again, it is impossible to CID unlock a G4 prophet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Why people keep telling me to CID unlock my device? Of course we all know CID unlock first. If we could CID unlock our device, why should we ask for No Vendor ID upgrade?

no-vendor ID
Yes, I'm still looking for a No-Vendor ID Jamin ROM WWE, that would work on my S200... Anyone?
Thanks

The Wiki isn't clear enough for me! 2 way of upgrading to WM6 ???

hello!
first of all, plese let me say that i read the wiki 10 times.
i also read hundreds of pages in the custom WM6 threads, but i still don't understand something.
i as far as i can see, there are 2 ways of upgrading the ROM.
1. http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Uni_ROM_Upgrade
2. http://wiki.xda-developers.com/inde...tion On How To Upgrade with Bootloader method
the first way looks easyer.
anyway, the second one says at point "4..." that you need to download MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe and copy it to the custom ROM folder.
but where to download it from??? it sends me to a page with a link. but the
link refreshes the page and it doesn't download anything!!!
anyway, let's say that i somehow manage to download the exe file.
wich way of upgradeing to use??? the second one says that it is good for
any Universal model. i understand that this one is good for Dopod 900, SPV M5000, O2 Exec users. is it true????
then this means that the first way of upgradeing is suitable just for HTC Universal users????
i have a SPV M5000. wich one should i use?
where can i download the MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe file?
also, wich is the latest Bootloader version? in the wiki i see that 1.01 is the last one. but on the forum someone said that he uses a 2.xx version...
ialso want to unlock my device. there is a wiki section for this too.
the 15th step says:
"Flash your original Radio ROM. Do not upgrade the bootloader until you restored an original radio rom."
what does that mean???? do i have to get the last Original ROM from Orange
and to install it after i unlock my device????
i allready have an Original ROM. and i allready have bootloader 1.01.
if i now unlock my device, then do i have to reinstall an Original ROM, and after that i have to upgrade again to bootloader 1.01 ????
in wich order should i upgrade the bootloader, unlock the device and upgrade to WM6?
call me stupid or realy stupid, but i just can't understand those steps i mentioned.
thanks in advanced for your answers!!!!

can i take the MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe from the Radio 1.15.00 archive and copy it to the Custom ROM folder ???
is it the same MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe file???
i still cannot find any place to download it from.

If you're on the Orange M5000 ROM already, unlock it before you start messing around with anything else.
Once you have done that by following the wiki, you can play with other ROM images.
The MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe you found in the 1.15 archive will be the same yes.
And nearly all of the custom WM6 ROM images you find on this page will have it included too.
If you want to use the radio 1.15 when you flash the ROM, simply copy the file into the same folder as the other ROM files before you run MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe, and it will update your ROM and radio at the same time.

i unlocked my device.
it now shows Radio 0.00.00
as i understand from the wiki, i have to reflash the original Radio 1.09.00, onlyy then to upgrade the bootloader to 1.01, and after that to upgrade to a custom WM6 ROM.
but where to download the original 1.09.00 Orange Radio ROM from???
i couldn't find it on the ftp.
does it matter wich radio rom i install? can i now install Radio 1.15.00 and after that to upgrade the bootloader and the OS ???
and also, if i upgrade the OS ROM and the Radio ROM to the latest official Upgrade posted by Orange, will it lock my phone again? or from now on i will have it ulocked no matter wich ROM or Radio i use?
thanks in advanced for your answers!

could you please answer my questions.
i can't realy use my device untill i finalize the upgradeing process.
must i reflash the original Radio 1.09.00 after the Sim Unlock?
or is it safe to flash any different Radio version, say 1.15.00?
i would realy be thankfull to you.

1st method is the newest safest and easiest method
2nd is the old one, not recommended

i see that now the wiki has been updated.
with this method, is it necesarry to take out the SIM and Storage Card ?
the first sentance of the tutorial is:
"This works for when the Universal is in Bootloader and Windows Mobile"
i don't fully understand the meaning of the sentance.
does the sentance want to say that you need to be in Bootloader mode?
and what is it with the "...and Windows Mobile" at the end of the sentance???
as i understand, the main differences between the 2 methods (ex-methods) is that in the new one (available in the wiki) you don't have to use the MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe anymore.
instead you have to download this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=301662
both methods must be done in Bootloader mode.
but in the new one it isn't specified wether you need to
Unchek the "allow usb connections" in activesync.
so, do we still need to uncheck the "allow USB connections" in active sync?
does this new method require to be in bootloader mode when upgrading?
it isn't very clear.
thanks in advanced for your answers.

[Qtek 9100] Invalid Update Tool

I am fairly new at rom upgrading so i started to follow the tutorial written by vippie. My ppc aint sim locked but i think it is cid locked so i downloaded button's 1.05 rom. When i want to upgrade the rom the programm gives me the following error message - Error 300 invalid update tool.
Some info:
My device ipl and spl number is 2.18.0001
I searched the forum and google but cannot find any solution.

I think your Qtek is nog CID unlocked yet. But I'm not totally sure.

G4
You got a G4 phone, so follow the G4 Tutorials. Its recognizable as 2.xx.xxxx on IPL and SPL. If you have a G3, it doesn't shows the 2.xx.xxxx but it'l show something like 2.xx.
So follow G4 tutors, i thought that if you wanted to flash, it'l need to be CID Unlocked and you should use Shell Tool ( its a tool to flash ).

Hi, I have a QTEK A9100 too. I flashed it many times with the RUU.
My suggestion (at least it worked for me)
a) if u r going from WM5 to a WM6 ROM (upgrade), use SHELLTOOL instead of RUU.
b) If u have problems flashing a ROM and want to go back (downgrade) use the RUU.
I posted both RUU and SHELLTOOL and made a step-by-step guide (in spanish) in the following thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=322719
I can translate it to english if you want... just let me know.
