HELP...VERY URGENT!!

Guys i did a very stupid thing this evening. I flashed my Imate Jam using the MAupgrade_No ID and the Greek Qtek firmware.
The flashing was good but now my Jam cant go pass the first screen and continuously reboots. It says something about illegal rom used....and reboots
Any solution to bring back to the former situation?
Please respond...i am really desperate

OK i figured out how. On my panic i couldn't even think.
God Bless the "search" button!!
But how could i get past this problem with the greek version qtek rom? It is locked and although it lets me upgrade (using the No-ID) on the first reboot after flashing it rebbots all the time.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Yep proteus3000uk,
Get yourself a shipped rom from your own provider. Put your magician into bootloader (camera & power & softreset until it reads serial or usb, there will be no backlight) uncheck usb in the connection settings from activesync on your PC & connect usb. Now it will read usb. Start the shipped rom program.
Or download a dumped or Big Storage rom & follow sd-card
flash method including the copy of your id from (first 420 bytes or so from your own romdump).
Or send it back and pray/beg for warrenty.
First two options are preferred off course. I 'repaired' mine with the first option, while I only had a black screen. So no OS or whatever on the rom.
Goodluck, M

Well i think that the Greek Qtek ROM is the only ROM worldwide that is edited from its programmers to run a phone version check, even after it lets you install it on your phone.
If it finds a phone version other than Qtek (in my case Imate Jam) the phone cant get past the initial splash screen and keeps rebooting for ever!

Then put it into bootloader and flash it wit an i-mate rom. Dumped, shipped or BIG storage and get rid of this Qtek ... rom.
Have you tried anything else than this qtek rom and what were the results?

The original english tom (WWE) works just fine (as it should anyway). The thing is i was trying to install the qtek GREEK rom in order to have proper Greek on my phone.
Unfortunately the suckers have locked the greek qtek rom and they have compiled the actual lock into the rom itself.
Although the rom is installed just fine using the No_Id prog, at the first reboot the phone hungs and then reboots for ever!

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but I belief you can actually revert your magician back to the WWE rom and now you want help for unlocking of the Greek qtek rom.
This doesn't sound VERY URGENT to me, cause you can use your device only not in proper Greek, OK?
Can't help you with the unlocking though, maybe Buzz, Anansky or one of the other bright developers can.
Regards, M

WM5 Upgrade problem

Hello everybody!!!
I need help with my Himalaya... Tried to upgrade it to WM5, successful for a while but after a soft reset, it wont boot up properly. It stays stuck on the Windows Mobile boot screen, with both the bluetooth and power/signal light turning on/off alternately. Hard resetting it does not help, the same symptoms are still happening. I had to reinstall the WM5 ROM several times but the same problem now occurs everytime I have to soft reset the unit. I had to downgrade to wm2003, ROM 1.72.00WWE, Radio v1.17.00, extROM v1.72.181.
Can anybody help me on this? Thanks!

After upgrade, ensure you clear registry and format the storage. You may try to redo this by following the instructions in the last part of the installation document, as pasted below:
Press ResetButton and hold down CameraButton + RecordButton.
Hold them pressed until the "Boot Options" menu appears on the screen.
Select the options as follows:
(for selecting use RecordButton, change values with CameraButton)
Enable KITL -> NO
Clean Registry Hive -> YES
Format Storage -> YES
When done, press DPad and wait until OS starts.

Also be aware that many backup software can corrupt an installation after recovery, even those that have a "Upgrade or Migration" feature. It is best to use PPCBckpContacts to restore your contacts and to use SMS BackupSoftware for your sms's, both can be found on this forum and both use standard databases instead of proprietary formats that could corrupt the WM5 databases.

on topic: i will have to bookmark this page in case i get the same problem when i upgrade

WM6 install hang @ 71%

just seeing if anyone else experience the same issue....commence the upgrade and stalled on 71%. End result was a bricked fone
thanks !

what rom did you flashed ?

It's not bricked... you can still flash in bootloader mode... follow this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=298613

sorted
i know what went wrong. The cpu usage during the install was 100% which seems to indicate a conflict between the install and what was loaded on my machine. Recovered my phone by reflashing after turing off 'allow connection via usb' in active sync...and reflashing with the default imate image. Then I installed wm6 with no issues.
lesson learnt

if u have a front side usb connector and a back side (back of the pc) then use the front side. If u had used the front side then use the back side this can help and solve the problem !!! had the same problem but resolve it by doing that. So if u have used the back usb connectore of pc use the front side usb connectore of pc and vise-versa. Hoop that it helps just give it a shot !!!

Dude, I answered you on another thread. You have to read and learn this stuff. Go read the Wiki and read and learn the stickies in the top of the Wizard upgrading forum.

How to downgrade to WM5??

Hi All,
The rom's great, I installed it on my friend's sp5m but he started facing all the bugs pointed out earlier. I faced a different one: 'missed call' list is not being updated. The screen shows a missed call but no entry is found.
Anyways, now he's insisting to downgrade to the original rom. i downloaded it from ftp.clubimate.com but it's giving me a file write error (see attached image).
Please can u guys just walk me through the process like a newbie? Thanks in advance!

Just run the update as usual, without doing anything else

Not working

Yes, I flashed Phil's WM6 rom and after that went back to wm5 through imate rom. The key is to hard-reset before flashing back to wm5.

well phil's currently working on the beta II of his rom that'll remove a lot of bugs. memory issues etc. my phone got really slow and the 'missed calls' list not being updated was a real turn-off. Loved the rom and will definitely go back once the final version is released.

thanks for the info.. ill follow suit i think and wait for the next beta

Enter bootloader mode and reflash :
- switch off your phone, hold the camera button and connect the usb cable. If USPL was flashed you should have no problem flashing another ROM
Bye

I See the RED - GREEN - BLUE Screen..

Look at the Wiki article on SD-Card flashing, that should be the easiest way to flash the ROM again!

Flash ROM/Radio from SD-Card
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=vox_sdcardflashing
1) Once you have all the files you need, either from the kitchen or from prepackaged ROMs (they can be extracted with WinRAR),
What Files do they mean? + where do i get these files?
=(

That just means that you have to have the ROM, either from the forum or self made through the kitchen! In your ROM there is a *.nbh file. Just follow the steps from there. The nbh is the only file you will need!
