How to upgrade

Since a few weeks I've got a I-mate Jam and I'm a member on this forum.
Since the beginning I'm wondering how to do some thinks.
I've looked around the forum, tried the search function but could find awnsers for some questions.
The question I have is about updateting.
How can I see my current version on my I-mate?
What are the different roms?
ROM version?
radio version?
Protocol version?
ExtRom?
What are all these and what do they do?
Is there manual about how to update you I-mate jam?
What is the newest version for the I-mate jam?
Hopefully there isn't already a thread about this, if so, sorry for this thread.

can't anybody give a little explanation?

New too
KoBolD, I'm new too, and just got a I-Mate JAM about 2 weeks ago, and I've been reading these forums for the last 3-4 weeks. This is my first post. Most of the information you are requesting is in the FAQ on this site. I'm only responding to you because I hate to see someone new ignored, I like the enthusiasm on these forums, and maybe one day you'll be cooking ROMs for us.

WM6 Rom Upgrade Help!

i have my HTC 8125 mobile with WM5 OS.
i didnt unlock my CID yet but I will unlock it later right after if someone answers my important question that always twinkling in my mind.
Upgrading roms for WM5 to WM6 is just like installing a application? ( sorry coz this is my first time to do this.)
currently downloading Xplore1.1 and farias rom. is it alrady overclocked when i installed one of those? do i need to overclock my mobile?
thanks alot!

I would stick with Xlpore's Rom, since you didn't mention that you had a 4g or 3g, since it will work great on both. Just extract those files and run it, simple as that. If i were you i would read up a little on the whole process. nothing like having a $200 brick cause you didn't know what you were doin

Dude, you have a LOT of reading to do before I'd suggest you even start to do this (based on that question alone). No, its not like installing an application. You are installing an entire new OS (Installing, not Upgrading). So when you do this, its going to wipe out everything on your phone (not your SD card, but on your phone's internal memory).
I'd highly advise you to read and understand whats in the Wiki for the wizard. Then read and understand the stickies at the top of this forum and the ones at the top of the Wizard Upgrading forum.
For the sake of your phone, make sure you understand this stuff. Don't just run an executable because it sounds cool. I'm not trying to scare you off or anything, I just want you to understand what you are looking at doing and understand that flashing custom roms isn't the fix to everything.
Understand also that these custom roms are (for the most part) test things. There are bugs, there are quirks, and there are things that flat don't work. Sure, for the most part they give you more power, and a better functioning phone, but for some of the roms that requires tweaking to get it to that point, so you need to understand what is involved (people here will assist, but we won't spoon feed).
Here's an excellent post with TONS of pointers to information (yeah its buried in the XPLore thread. We need to pull this out into the Wiki or make a sticky with this):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1206964&postcount=894
Read and learn before you start flashing. You will save yourself a lot of grief, and may even save the life of your phone.

You definately need to read the Wiki before you do anything. It gives you step by step instruction and will most definately make flashing your device easier. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to PM me. Good luck.

Help>>> What"s Newest And The Lattest Rom.

Hi Everyone,
Thanks to everyone there's a lot of rom out there.. Can some please attached below the latest rom .. There's so many, I don't even know which one is the latest.. Thanks

try reading just a tiny bit.... I beleive there was one released today!
If you ready a little bit, you'd find it in a shorter time than it took you to post this useless thread.

Please read the ROM Upgrading section of the Kaiser wiki and make your choice from the Shipped or Cooked ROMs. If you find it to be outdated, perhaps you can contribute to all this free information by updating it with the some of the missing ROMs.

Suitable answers have been given.
To the OP I would also add that newest and latest does not necessarily mean best for your needs. Time to read up on what the features of each one are. Once you've done that you can follow _Alex_'s advice and knock us up a few to fill the gaps

WM6.1 or not?

I don't understand how to tell if the ROM i downloaded, for example: who can i tell that http://www.htc.com/us/FAQ_Detail.aspx?p_id=67&act=sd is a WM 6.1 OS without actually flashing it on my kaiser?

ROM versions are here
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Kaiser_ROMs

The linl is in the wiki of course; in the section for the kaiser under rom upgrading, there are links for both cooked and original roms

First of all, virtually every new rom that has come out in the last few months has been WM6.1. Some of the roms actually say that they are. You can also look the rom versions up in the wiki, and last but not least...you could just ask that question in the thread for the ROM you're looking at.
What you should not do is start a thread like this in the ROM developoment section. I know it's tempting to start threads here because it is the busiest of the Kaiser Forums, but it's very frustrating when new users don't follow the rules here. It's not that we don't understand that people just don't know where to put their question sometimes, it's just frustrating cause all these threads that have nothing to do with rom develoopment clutter this forum and push much more relevant topics back several pages sometimes.
So in the future, please observe the forum policies by reading, searching, and posting in EXISTING threads first. Hope your question is answered completely, and happy flashing!

Update To WM 6.1

Hi guys,
So I downloaded 2 Roms of 6.1 found in this forum (the one from Dr Martin and the one from fireburned)
Now before flashing I have a question about the USPL.
I bought my phone factory unlocked. Do I still need to run that procedure before changing the rom?
Secondly, how do I backup my current ROM? (in case of it going bad)?
Thanks

mystical thing called search function
my recommendation, YES! but if you had used the search, you would had found out the answer yourself.... well, we all where new to this too, but a little bit of interest on the matter is really helpfull if you want to learn about it. asking "already-hunderts-of-time-anwsered" questions is just too lazy.
sorry, if i'm a little rude at you, but in the last time such question where asked just too much... folks, this is a forum, not a hotline!!
for your second question, do a search, and you'll found out why you don't need to backup the rom. if you still want to backup after this, if think, you'll find the answer on how to do it in the wiki...

If there is a SHIP ROM for your carrier, no real reason to backup since you can revert to this.
You will most likely need to use uSPL to temporarily SuperCID your device to allow it to flash any ROM as they are CID-locked. Unlocked simply means it does not have a network/SP lock on it.

I understand, but if it's something that comes up often, maybe the mods should make a static post about it? Thats usually to avoid ppl asking the same questions all the time..
Thanks for your input though

good point about the sticky. or we could add it to the wiki, i'll see what i can do in the next few days, but anyone is invited to contribute too (now i'm gettin' lazy, hihi)

Same situation here and I had to run the USPL proc to get the new ROM onto my device.

Thanks for all the input
I actually followed Dr Matin Gonzo's guide to update to his rom and it worked perfectly,
I even got to backup my old rom (using the wiki + the SDA Unlock tool)
