i know it may sound weird but the clock on my imate jama has stopped working and since it got stuck, i cannot use the power button to turn the device on. However the power button does work while the device is turned on and i can turn it off as well. I have tried soft and hard reset. Please help me out this problem since its warranty expired last month. Does it have like a backup battery cell that needs to be replaced? or is it like a software problem...BTW im running windows mobile 6 on it which i got upgraded from the vendor while it was in warranty...................
Please help...
Wierd, is the clock stuck on a certain time? Are you sure your hard reset was sucussful?
If it definately did a hard reset, i would recomend flashing a cooked rom, or flashing an official wm6 rom.
Use the wiki or relevant forum to see what suits you best.
thanks for replying...yes the clock is stuck at whatever time i either manually change or the time of the last sync with the pc...I dont have any experience with flashing roms but i have found one rom, i guess the only one there is on the net for this device (http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-393307.html). i couldn't find wiki for imata jama. please help me find the wiki and let me know if there is another rom for this device that i can flash it with aswell...
if i flash the wm6 rom on my jama would it flash since i already have wm6 installed? and i also found a wm6.5 rom.. it has some issues and incase i wana go back to wm6 would it be possible as well? please help me out with this...........
hey the 6.5 rom was here as u probably know ; http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=492981&page=3 but seems buggy as you say. You'll have to look on imate website to see if you can download original wm6.0 for your phone as i cant see it on here.
I dont know if you can flash magician roms to ur fone, they are similar hardware and lots of threads asking about jama end up in magician? i dont know....
id stick with 6.0 if you cant find anything else.
Thanks so much marsh for ur help... imate has the worst customer support ive come across therefore i'm planning to switch to htc.. i have done some extensive research and found that the 6.5 rom on that chinese site is being constantly updated with new versions coming out every now and then..and the good news is that im downloading a stable version of WM6.1 for me imate as i type.. I will post it at here at xda after i successfully flash it...
fingers crossed
Well the 6.1 rom turned out to be in chinese so i had no choice but to flash the Wm 6.5..It looks very good but none of the buttons work and i cant view messages or send them. Also it does not connect to the pc using using active sync but shows that some storage device has been connected to pc and no proper drivers found for it. One good thing happended though, i came to know what the problem with the clock could be...Wm 6.5 showed on startup that my back up battery is very low and that i need to replace it..I'll get it replaced from the service center now....But im looking for a WM 6.1 english rom.... Can any body help me find it please?

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
off topic:thanx rudega, u dnt know how amazed i am...just signed up to the forum cus i wanted to get the WM6 theme for my xda, then it said i needed wm5 so i cried abit, the i saw this post and laughed ha u cant update O2 website havent said anything...then i looked around this whole forum and realised i could. this is amazing really pleased. no more old looking 2003.

you may want to elaborate a bit on that
sheesh
Just did a soft reset and the problem just happened again. something must be wrong with my hardware! i had to do a hard reset to get back up again. comments anyone?
wow i remember this post i made month ago. since then my phone broke, was stuck with an acient nokia, no camera, not even a colour screen. luckily im back with a new windows mobile phone. anyway no one is gonna read this, but i thought i should take a trip down memory lane
I download all the crossbow roms and they load fine but when i actually install them its just looks like WM6.
Both SPL and the other one are 2.26 any ideas ?
Did you flash to a carrier ROM? Always flash to a carrier ROM before flashing a custom ROM.
ok giving that a try with the RUU offical tmobile rom
doesnt look like that worked either
Exactly which ROMs are you trying to install? Are you certain the ROMs are custom WM5 ROMs? You are in the WM6 forum, so I expect any ROMs you get from here will be WM6 ROMs.
ive done just about all of them is there any other reason I cant get this to work ?
ive been at it for like 5 hours and its pisssssing me off (sorry).
You guys helped me unlock the phone now i just gotta get WM6.
thanks for the help so far!

So, it looks like WM6? That means you have WM6.
Of course, you've read and followed all of the instructions on how to unlock and flash a custom ROM, right?
does anyone have a mirror for the love rom? im going to start it from scratch
so im pretty sure ive screwed myself pretty good now im using the shell tool to flash the rom and it looked like it was working then it told me to hard reset my phone so i poped the battery out because nothing else was working now it wont boot paste the tmobile screen. Also the software tells me to hold down voice + wireless manager and then the reset button and wait for instructions but i never receive anything at all.
Can you guys please help me asap i need to at least get the phone working for tomorrow morning
- Eddy
well it looks like ive bricked the device because it cant boot to even WM5 its just stuck on the tmobile screen and therefore cant connect to activesync so i cant even flash it back to a working rom.
Any help would be so great at this point because im DOOMED without this phone ... i mean it even wakes me up in the morning hahaha
kind regards,

u have to put it into bootloader mode by pressing and holding the camera button and quickly pressing the reset button until the red, green, and blue screen appears. Then you should be able to flash back to an original rom
ok so i started all over again super cid unlocked many times and started with the base 2.26 and now i cant even get the WM6 roms on the phone they all freeze at 99% (vs loading the rom with the old wm5 look).
any ideas guys?
have you tried using shelltool? I've used it numerous times on my locked g4 without problems

easy, Wiki is the best answer http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=303558
and also here http://wiki.modaco.com/index.php/HTC_Vox
please read first.
Read the wiki for complete answers...but in short:
1.http://www.wordreference.com/definition/vox
2.radio version is like the part of the phone that has to manage the "communicating part" of the phone....like making calls, receiving the signal, calls quality.wi-fi, bluetooth...etc..Different radio versions do different performances of the phone...and some seems to improve battery life.
3. Classic is for Pda (touchscreen) without "Phone capability", Professional "is for PDA(touchscreen)-Phones", Standard is for smartphone (non touchscreen)
4. ROM is the "mass-memory" part of the phone...where you store the Operating System and programs..if you have enough space ( think of it like the Hard disc of the OS for a pc). WWE means standard english version.
5. Read the wiki....basically. Backup of your data (contacts, sms etc..)>backup of the rom (optional)> Unlock> Flash SPL> Flash rom. Easier and quicker than it seems.
6. NO soft reset is a normal reset of the phone.Like you do when you shut it off, and then you power it on. Data is still there. HARD RESET...Deletes all your data...it's like having a phone just flashed with a ROM...(or in a PC when you have just formatted your hard drive and then reinstalled your Operating System)
7. Is this a question????? BTW if your battery lasts some hours...maybe it's time to change it...it's not so unusual.
8. It should be 6.0
It's your choice to upgrade...FOR ME, IMHO, all the way...phone gets better.
When you do it one time...you will do it all the time...with the pleasure of testing new roms...so you'll have your personal opinion about the best the suit your needs.
regards
Thanks

thanks!!!!!! that link helped me
Where will i get latest official rom for my vox, i m not able to download it frm htc site. It says that the update is not for my device S/N.... Plz help, can any one give me a direct download link frm any other site like media fire, rapidshare etc..
look in the xda-wiki...also in the vOx page...there are a lot of roms, but i'm not sure You'll find the latest...(1.34) maybe.
I cannot upload it somewhere for you...no broadband connection here, where I live
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=vox_roms
1.34 is present!
Shipped ROM here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2153312&postcount=14
hope it helps
Thanks to both of u.......
U guys r great.......great....... Thanks, i m downloading.....wwe1.34. If i will face any problem while flashing...again i will come to u guys for help if u dont mind.
Then afterwards i will try cooked rom
thanks, thanks a lot...........................
With official roms you don't have to do the whole USPL thing...just plug it ot your USB cable (check that ActiveSync is connected) and start flashing.
BTW if you flash cooked roms...you have to do USPL,
Normally if you flash USPL than you can flash every cooked rom without worries, and without do the USPL thing every time...just the first
BTW if you flash a OFFICIAL rom after a cooked rom you restore again USPL.
So the next time you have tu USPL again.
Hope I've been clear.
thanks again for reply

If you execute the exe file, it will give you the ROM image file, a nbh file. That IS the ROM file actually, others are just tools to write that nbh to your device thru activesync.
Hope it helps
Thanks all of u...........
Thanks to all u guys, who suffered me. Sorry for the trouble tht i gave u. Finally i flashed my vox with fhm's win6.5 rom.

thanks i got it.
Hey all, I had TTN7 on my imate Ultimate 9502 before I hard reset it and it was running fine..
Now when I try to install it I get the waiting animation for a while then it says it was unsuccessful.. The first time I tried it asked if it was safe to install it but now it just goes straight to unsuccessful..
Anyone know why this is? GPS nav is sort of important for me..
Perhaps here you´ll find it easily

I don't think it's an i-mate specific problem.. It seems to be a WM problem..
