Database Info

hi all, pls help me

I just got an I-mate JAM with following info:
ROM version: 1010.00 WWE
ROM date: 08/18/05
Radio ver: 1013.00
Protocol: 1337.43
ExtROM ver: 1.12.550 WWE
RAM: 64MB
Flash: 64MB
Model No: PM10A
Platform: PocketPC
which ROM that i should use now?
and can I do it without USB cable? (copy ROM to MMC and install)
I'm living in Vietnam and use English

Welcome to XDA-developers!
Your ROM version is fine, however you may wish to upgrade to the latest 1.13 ROM + 1.13 Radio + BigStorage (by the way, BigStorage is just a way in which you can extend your measly 7MB of Storage to 27MB). However you will need a USB cable for the above method: I highly recommend to invest in one anyway, as you will find installing many programs onto your JAM difficult without one.
I think it is possible to upgrade with just a SD/MMC card and a SD/MMC reader for your computer, however it is considerably more complicated and you will not be able to back up your existing ROM, as you will need your computer to command your JAM during the backup process. You will probably need to merge two upgrading methods in order to get a USB cable-free process, something that no one else has done. Sorry I don't quite have the time for that yet, but maybe someone else can come to your aid!
Is there a technical reason you can't use a USB cable by the way?
EDIT: I forgot this: the reason why you cannot upgrade by just dumping a ROM onto the SD card and letting the JAM upgrade from that is that the ROM must be modified with some special, device unique data from your JAM first before your JAM will accept it. The normal ROM upgrade programs do this via USB by retrieving the device data from your JAM and then applying it to the ROM they are about to send to it. While there is a way to manually get this required data, that too requires a USB cable (see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=231410).

Please avoid cross-posting, especially since this is the wrong forum. I can't help you anyway - different models of PDA can have very different ways of doing things.

Thanks for your help, i'll try and tell u the result.

update utility crashes. Help!

Guys i'm having trouble upgrading, ive read all i can on this fab site and now i am out of ideas.
The upgrade utility crashes after clicking next when the universal image is shown or it will crash after the next step when the conversion from version and to version is shown. Then nothing!
Then i get stuck at the boot screen and have to use the mtty to re-boot.
Tried: 1. upgrading from bootloader (v1.01). 2.unchecking usb connnection from activesync. 3. direct usb to pc connection. 4. tried 3 different usb cables. 5. redownloading ROMs and different ROMs (none work!). 6. MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe method. 7. removing SD card and sim card.
(just before the crash activesync 4.5 closes... if that gives any clues)
Please help i'm dying to try wm6.
I have upgraded many times before to the different flavours of wm5.
Appologies for creating a new thread if this has been answered elswhere.

I agree - I think the fact that AS4.5 is closing is central point - AS has always been very stable for me.

AS should close before the update process... that's a good sign. I think double check your battery too... make sure it's full to the max. Did you have any issues with shutdowns before upgrading?

ActiveSync sync problems using USB

Hey all. Sorry if this is in the wrong forumsection, feel free to move it if so.
I am having problems syncronizing my TyTn II with my PC. I am using Activesync 4,5. I read somewhere that this can occur if you change the usb port from the one you were using the first time, and i think that is what i might have done.
Has anyone else had this problem? What can i do to fix it?

This (registry change) did the trick for me
http://www.aximsite.com/boards/activesync/120851-activesync-4-1-sygate-personal-firewall-pro.html

Thanks mate, that seems to be a solution to the problem. Only problem now is that as far as i know i dont have a regedit program on my phone. Which one should i use and how to i go about using it? How do i get the program onto my phone when i cant use Activesync?
Appreciate any help..

I just started a thread like this in the Hermes forum
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=361633
here's what i got, haven't tried it yet.

Try this procedure step-by-step
1. make sure your phone is not connected to the computer in any way
a. Bluetooth off
b. WIFI off
c. USB cable not connected
2. Run spybot S&D (I always do this when the computer misbehaves - and make no mistake your computer is misbehaving)
3. Terminate all other running programs
4. Hook your phone to the usb cable and the usb cable to the computer. (don't worry if it syncs or not)
5. Open Device Manager and select Network Adapters
6. Uninstall the Windows Mobile Device
7. Disconnect the Phone
8. Open the Control Panel "Add/Remove Programs" and uninstall Active Sync
9. Reboot the computer
10. Connect to the internet and get a fresh copy of Activesync 4.5 and install it.
At this point if you can back up your PIM to the storage card or something it would be great because I suggest you do a hard reset of the phone. go to the settings page and select System. Tap the clear storage icon and follows the instructions to reet the phone.
11. Reset phone as above
12. When phone reboots, connect it to the computer via the usb cable.
Phone should sync from now on.
Good Luck
PS.
MrVanx is right, that could help but it will limit your phones capability. However if my method fails that may be your only option short of reflashing the phone with some other ROM.

Thanks for the tip there, sook. I just tried it and it didnt work for me.
I did all the steps except for these:
5. Open Device Manager and select Network Adapters
6. Uninstall the Windows Mobile Device
The thing is i cant find my mobile device anywhere in the device manager or in the network adapters subcategory. Any ideas?
Is there any way to edit the registry on my phone without having to download and install something? Like a built-in program or something..

updating rom ATT tilt connection error

just tried several times to update without success. I have Vista. My problem is not one I have read about yet.
I USB connect the phone and start the ROM program, as soon as I hit run on my laptop, I get the rainbow on my phone... but, as I progress through the steps my phone some how is dumping the USB connection. The wizard gets up to a point and keeps saying no connection. I go back to the laptop and check with the sync and it shows disconnected???

Try a different USB cable, make sure you have firm connections, then touch nothing until flash is complete or error message shows - don't even breathe on it, let alone move it an inch! I think the connection port is fragile or unreliable.

My Tilt has the same issue with my real PC and my Virtual Machine on my Mac (via Parallels). It just won't flash reliably.
I now flash from the MicroSD card. No problems at all doing that. Much faster too.

HardSPL loaded prior to 'imaging'?

I finally did it. Alls I had to do was uninstall active sync then reinstall it. Now when I try to restore via my storage car and sprite backup it tells me that "this back up file was not made on this device or operating system. Restoring from this file may cause significant problems. Do you wish too continue?" Not sure what to do. Anyone?

Yeah . . . you don't want to restore a backup from one ROM onto a new different ROM - it will make a big mess.
If you didn't sync your data with your PC before you flashed this new ROM, I would flash back to the original ROM and then restore your backup, do a sync to your PC, also copy \My Documents to your storage card, and also run dotFred's PIMBackup - you can use that to restore data from one ROM to another.
All of this has been discussed on the forums here before, so I would also suggest you do a lot more reading before embarking on ambitious but potentially dangerous things like flashing a new ROM as you are doing.

TY, for the heads up. I did do the sync. So contacts and such will be ok. Just have to redo my tweaks. Thanks. again for the advice.

Noob Question Need Help

Please dont get mad i looked every where to see if this had already been posted. When i run Hard-SPL I keep geting to 260 error it starts just fine asks me if i will grant access to the application which i do and it starts to do its thing but then halts and i get the 260 error and it dose not go any farther any suggestions?

did you remove your sim and sd card?
In addition, if you have not removed them back up your data. Then do a hard reset. Then remove sim and sd card. It maybe an open port problem so restart your computer as well. Hope this helps.

tried
Gave that a try after it asks if it is alright to load the file on my phone it auto resets phone then 260 error happening again im on vista 64 bit and even tried what the main website said for vista users but half the guide dose not really apply so im not sure what to do or what im doing wrong. any more suggestions?

Need Help
Anyone that has been able to run HardSPL on a vista 64bit system please point me in the right direction I really want to set up my custom roms on my phone that I have found! Please help!!!!!!!!

sorry i couldn't help you i always thought a 260 error was due to open connections or ports.
When you downloaded the zip file for hardspl did you use vista's unzip?
If so you may get an error because vistas unzip program sucks ass and you need to use another application to unzip the hardspl software.

Did you go through the connection settings in the mobile device manager and disable usb connections?

Are you using vista..sometimes it doesnt look for a new set of drivers for the Phone when its in tri color mode..try rebooting and leaving the phone in tri color mode...once you do that, start from scratch after it gets all the drivers installed
This advice is thanks to tochill. Try this and see if it works. Vista often does not automatically load the drivers. I used Vista 64 to flash without a problem. It was a little tricky to get it to load the drivers at first but after they are loaded you should be fine. If it doesn't work let me know and I will see if I can find the drivers for it.

Also make sure you have the most updated version of Windows mobile device center.

not sure what to do
When am I suppose to disable usb connections of the phone in WMDC ? and also I used winrar to extract the folder. also the phone auto reboots after it is promted to allow the program to launch to install hardspl and then I get the same 260 error again any more suggestions? Im sorry for all the trouble here I just really want to get this to work. everyone said it was easier to mod tilts but it seems to be harder then my iphone lol

update ur drivers if ur using vista
for me vista was a pain to flash so i just use my desktop which is xp and its happy flashing for me all the way...piece of cake now after u do it a few times

Before you connect your phone.

You don't need to do any of that. What you need to do is DL the USB driver from A/S & associate it with you device in WMDC. There are several good threads on doing it. Start Here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=291723

Even tried xp
I have even tried using XP I still get the same outcome my phone auto restarts after I tell it to run the program. What am I doing wrong? I am suppose to run the main file off of my PC not the phone correct? and just go trough the setup?
Can some one tell me how they did it step by step because I have followed the instructions on the HARDSPL main thread and it dose not work. And so I am correct this will work with the new ATT Tilt right?

tried all of that still dose not work any other vista run arounds? God i wish i still had my xp discs

Please feel free to message me on aim username is kl3pto really could use some help.

Thanks that was a thread I was looking for to post to the OP as the next step. I have had to reinstall vista 5 times and each 5 times had to do something different to get it to work.

NP, I also suggest with Vista, you flash HardSPL via Jump. Don't flash ROM's or Radios with JumpSPL, but with the 1.93 SPL, I have tons more success using the Flash HardSPL method than the .exe
