hey all ..
I found an upgrade for the imate JAM radio stack, it suppose to enhance audio quality and signal strength, so i thought what the hell, let's give a try, so i upgraded my JAM from 1.01 to 1.05 and i didn't notice any major differences :
1- Audio quality during calls : maybe 10-20% better than b4, speakephone is gone though, i dunno why, it's not gone completely, actually it's so low that u have to put ur jam to ur ear to hear the other party.
2- I used to get full signal at my home, and 2-3 maximum at work: still the same no differences.
but that's just me and i don't know how to do real tests. so I think u all should try it and give ur opinions, i would have post a link, but i don't know if its legal to do that in this forum, if it's legal give me a good uploading site, it's a 2MB zip file.
the only thing confusing is this upgrade isn't avaliable on I'mate's site or any other site, and the forums i got this upgrade from has deleted all the threads regarding this upgrade :shock:
anyways, if anyone tried that, share here. it definitely worth a try.
Where have U found this update?! :shock:

if the speaker phone volume is too low with this 'update' then I guess I will wait for something else :? my speaker phone is doing ok now... wouldn't wan t to mess that up.
Strange, I have done the upgrade, and my radio works fine, even the speakerphone works flawlessly.
So ....
The Magician radiostack 1.05 is part of the Swiss Qtek s100 upgrade. Using it on an i-Mate JAM is simple.
First of all, make sure you have BOTH the i-Mate rom upgrade package and the qtek upgrade package available!!!!
Unpack the Qtek upgrade package manually to a directory and delete the rom and the extended rom files, and run the upgrade with only the radio file .... you will see that suddenly there's no country ID errors
After upgrading your radio stack, you will see that in the process, while upgrading the radio, the rom and extended rom have been erased. Now unpack your i-Mate Jam upgrade package, delete the radio file and run the upgrade. Now, the original rom and extended rom are being put back onto your i-Mate, while skipping the radio upgrade.
Of course, all of this is at your OWN RISK
Where do I get the Qtek Radio Upgrade? Can I install it over the JAM's Radio Ver or not (i.e. after hard-reset and 1st time setup I stop the Ext ROM from installing copy the Qtek 1.05 cab install that, run Ext ROM except imate Radio ver) ?
The Qtek rom:

The i-Mate ROM:

The steps to take are as I described in my previous list.

You meant sweden upgrade no ?
Yes, the Sweden update. The only thing you actually use is the radio upgrade. The rest you throw away

I`m a new JAM user and I have`t made an upgrade till now...can U pls tell me which is the files to delete from the Qtek rom?...Is it possible to integrate the 1.05 radio stack in the I-mate rom and then upgrade?
Regards,
Primoz
You have to keep both upgrade packs completely separated, they cannot be mixed due to separate checksums. The instllation program will immediately say the rom checksum is incorrect. So, you have to unpack both rompacks to separate directories, and use the individual files!
For the Qtek rom you need:
EnterBL.exe
GetDeviceData.exe
HTCRUU.conf
HTCRUU.dll
MaUpgradeUt.exe
radio_.nbf
and delete:
ms_.nbf
nk.nbf
For the i-Mate rom you need:
EnterBL.exe
GetDeviceData.exe
HTCRUU.conf
HTCRUU.dll
MaUpgradeUt.exe
RUU.conf
RUU.dll
ms_.nbf
nk.nbf
and delete:
radio_.nbf
Thanks for help man!...I`ll try it later....school is calling :wink: . Does it metter what do I install first?....radio stack or JAM rom?
Regards,
Primoz
My post says it all ... first the Qtek Radio, then the Jam rom and extended rom back onto the Jam.
Wiz, what ROM/extended versions did that process leave you with? My MDA Compact is still:
ROM: 1.01.00 WWE (21/Oct/04!)
Radio: 1.00.10
ExtRom: 1.01.128 WWE
Also, does upgrading the ROM include a camera update? Or do you then have to apply the 103 patch that's floating around?
Thanks
Did you notice any significant improvements with this radio upgrade? My yearning to have the latest and greatest is dampened by my need for stability and fear of no real gain or even some problems.

why to go through all this when we can upgrade it simply by just one click like i did (the whole upgrading took less than 20 min).
if anyone interested in this upgrade, tell me and i'll post a link to it.
sozon
so you will have to be cooking ROMs for this??? a very detailed step by step would be great (only if it is possible) as I'm sure alot of forum goers are not as adept with fiddling with ROMs.
@ Sozon...post it and we will try :wink:

Hi- i have tried to contact my local dealer in Denmark, but nobody seems to know whether there will be an upgrade or not. Any clues ?????
You don't have to wait since you can use O2's WM2003 rom.
Sounds good, but what happens with my qtek ??What about the radio upgrade, and can i go back to the previus version ???
Your qtek's rom will simply overwrited by O2's rom. It just like install a difference version of Windows to your computer (May be it's not a good example...). Except the boot up screen, there is no major different.
I think you should upgrade your qtek's radio to Qtek 3.23 or O2 4.21, because these two version were reported working great on the WM2003 rom.
You can go back to the previous version, but you should have a 64m+ SD Card and a XDArit compatible SD Reader (most stand-alone SD reader should work), because the windows flashing utility (program a) is not working under WM2003, you must use a SD card to downgrade the rom.

Hi everyone.
I had big troubles when I put the official TM rom on my Qtek 1010 as I could not change my rom again and I did not like the TM rom as it had so much crap that seemed stupid if you were not with TMobile, as I am with Vodafone Australia.
I tried everything to finally after every test got some luck, I will try to explain.
Grab the official TM2003 download which has the radio update as well and extract the file, Run the TMO2003.exe and it will install the program to your computer. Do Not install anything to your phone yet. Then go to C:\program files\RUU and grab the file "ENGLISH" and cut and paste to your "desk top". Now I had a cooked rom 4.00.10 from the kitchen that would not load. But if I extracted file and cut and pasted the "english" file from the cooked rom into the C:\program files\RUU where I removed the original file and put on desk top. Then run the Upgrade.exe file in C:\program files\RUU and it will install the cooked rom....as well as the TM radio. I then just installed the radio 4.21 to give me the radio I needed for Australian Vodafone.
Now the tricky part........... :idea: :shock:
To get the Upgrade.exe to run and find the device I had to put the phone in the cradle, wait till it synced with the pc, then turn off the phone and then turn it back on again as soon as you hear the sync noise then run the Upgrade.exe and then it seems to find the device.
This all seems very strange but it worked for me. As I only have an SD
card of 15MB so I can not do the SD card method.
I am downloading a cooked rom 4.00.05 and I will try to load that and will let you know if it works.....
Hope this is of some help to someone.....
I totally mislead you all...... :shock: :roll: :roll:
do not replace the file "english" replace the "NK.nbf" file.....
Sorry
Just tryed the same procedure with a cooked rom 4.00.05 and it fully worked.....Love it.
Note I got a warning that I was upgrading to the wrong version so I left the original TM2003 in tact untill it got to the verify your rom upgrade page then I swaped the "NK.nbf" file.....
Hi Ya Seal, fellow Aussie here.
Thanks for the tips.
Can you tell me what the original model of your qtek was before all your upgrades. IE. on the back of the unit should be a number like PW10a1 or PW10b1
I have a T-mobile PW10b1 (US model) and im not sure if i need to upgrade the radio stack for Australia.
I have read here in these forums that upgrading to the incorrect radio ver can permanently stuff the radio section.

You may use any ROM Updgrade, you may even want to cook your own ROM, but please do not think of performing a radio stack upgrade if your present radio is working well and giving you a trouble free service.
Hi guys,
I 'm in same situation but with higher versions, and can hardly wait to get a new 2003 ROM.
I can't just play with my XDA as I use it all the time for work and it's pretty stable so far. I just also can't tell that the ROM is 'totally' separate from the RUU in WM2003.
So the question is: is there any one here who has gone through a 2003 upgrade for Qtek 1010 to tell us his thoughts after the upgrade ?
I read a lot about the stability of 4.00.16 ENG, but all been written was for O2 R4.21 or T-Mobile R6.xx. Did any one in this region (Mid East) with R 3.2x went into this upgrade ? and what is the current status ?
Thanx all ....
Latest ...
I tried upgrading to 4.00.11 ENG from the kitchen ... no matter how many trys it just restarts and gives the same error message "Can't open USB/com port ..." ...
Do I miss anything ??
more update ...
Tried to cook the new ROM as .nb1 file and used Xdatools from the kitchen to flash my device .... same result :? :evil:
Is it possible that there is a ROM protection on my XDA ??? :shock:

Hi Biso007,
Look at the IDIOTS GUIDE at:
http://www.xda-developers.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=3171
and follow the instructions thoroughly one by one and you can't go wrong, it did work for me, I was in the same situation.
Samohile - Thanks. It is good advice to not mess with the radio if you can help it.
My only problem is that my device periodically shuts off. Then pressing the power button soft boots it. I cant tell for sure but it seems that this happens after an incoming or missed call. It seems that other friends using ROM 3.18.04 and Radio 3.25.01 (like our friend biso007 here) seem to have very stable systems.
I can try upgrading the ROM only and see what happens but the information at www.carrierdevices.com seems to imply that both ought to be upgraded at the same time. I notice it is an Australian site. Does that matter? Also, the version of the radio upgrade is a bit confusing, at least from its name. (Radio Upgrade File : RSUv1.15_(GPRS_T32500_ENG).exe] ). I wonder what this RSUv1.15 translates into since the name of the exe file for the ROM is nicely descriptive of the version (3.18.04).
Any advice in this would be very welcome..
Well i am using WM2003 4.00.11 and its working fine for me no problem i cooked in the kitchen you just need to read arround this great forum for a whgile on topics such as upgrades and ROM to know exactly what you are dealing with and then you will able to upgrade smoothly.
:wink:
Hi ARZLEB
I read lots and lots about upgrade lessons but none of them worked for me .... I got an advice to use SD card with bootloader as it's the only working way. Now I wonder why the EXE method was created!!
I see that u got the 4.00.11 working. Did u upgrade it using EXE or SD card. Any help would be so appreciated ... thnx
Well i used the EXE methode the file i cooked in the Kitchen but i didnt change the version i left as 3 at the bottom of the page it works fine i upgraded from 3.XX to 4.XX then i downgraded from 4.00.11 to 4.00.05 then upgraded again all using EXE format so far working great.
i will be honest with you i know about the SD methode very well but never tried it so u have to make more search on this issue.
If you need anything more plz message me anytime and i will be more then whilling to help you step by step...

Faisal sorry for very late reply.
I have flashed my Qtek (bought in Abu Dhabi) with several versions of roms cooked in kitchens (Jeff's and Stefans's), but I have finally settled with ATT release wm2003 Siemens SX56 upgrade. It comes with most of the bugs fixed (except multiple reset bug) and is quite stable. I almost never have to reset it. You can flash the ROM only by SD card method though. You can try it. It's always a good idea to flash using SD card method. USB method using ProgramA is not very safe. I guess the network in Pakistan is compatible with the one in the UAE, so you can safely use it, if you don't mess up with the Radio Stack. My Radio is 3.23.01 and I have no problems with that.
I just want WM2003 on my XDA. I tried installing 4.00.05 but got the white screen of death. Does anyone know if the Seimens SX56 ROM will work on my phone? I plan not to **** with the radio stack.
Just want a O/S that's newer and not as buggy as the original 3.21 that I had.
I miss my working XDA, it's been 2 long weeks and I finally get my MMC card back so I can flash.
Anyone in Australia got 4.00.05 working or WM2003? Which version you running if so?
Any info would be greatly appreciated.
you didn't tell what's your device type and how the 4.00.05 failed.
I'm not sure the MMC can be used instead of SD card, but if yes, then i may advice you to cook a new 4.00.05 ROM at yorch.net and select the .nbf file method. move the file to your MMC card using the XDAtools and flash your xda through the boot loader.
good luck.
My device type was a:
PW10A
3.20.06 ENG (ROM)
3.21 (Radio)
But after trying to install with an EXE self installer became:
G32S54
4.00.05 (ROM)
R4.21.00 (Radio)
One thing I have worked out about the EXE self installers is that they will extract a NBF file to a directory, in C:\Program Files\Programme A\English
so therefore, whichever version you download in a self extracting file contains the NBF file that's required.

The Radio part shouldn't be affected by this upgrade!.
4.00.05 works just fine. The 4.01.00 and AT&T release ROM are even better (except for the stupid noise attenuation everyone's working to try and defeat).
Never(!) use the .exe method for upgrade, you have a much greater chance of it screwing your XDA. Also, according to your post you weren't messing with the radio, but by using the .exe upgrade you have inadvertantly upgraded the radio. 4.21 is the same version as O2 released for Australia, but I'm not quite sure if you're running the T-Mobile version now? As far as I know you can screw up upgrading your ROM as much as you like using the SD method because you can always whack the SD back in and start again, the bootloader is intact and the radio is intact.
I guess if you use the .exe update method from your manufacturer's release, at least you'll have some recourse in that you were only following what they said to do for the upgrade and they will probably fix it.
Use the SD upgrade method to fix your current problem, and you may need to use the Wallaby patch to do that. Good luck.
Best ROM for a QTek 1010 connected to Vodafone Australia

Use A.30.09, it's the only release version out there. All other versions are beta and have their problems. The only headache with A.30.09 is volume attenuation, but either soon we'll have a fix, or soon another manfucturer will make a release public so we can switch over (hopefully) without that annoyance.
Howdy,

Another quick question. Which Radio Stack is the better one to use? The QTek 1010 Radio Stack v3.25.01 (32S54) or the O2 XDA Radio Stack v4.21 (32S54)?
Hi,
> Newbie: first post <
First, I want to apologize if that kind of topic had been already posted (sure it has been posted!)
I've bought an I-mate JAM in Dubai and upgraded it with the 1.06 WWE Rom proposed on the Club I-Mate site in March. I decided to change that rom in purpose to have my Jam totaly in french but I don't know how exactly because there's a lot of different roms.
Furthermore, I've tried several times to flash my "precious" with the first Fr rom proposed here but after having done the reset (after doing "d2s 80000000 04000000 in romupdate.exe"), ActiveSync do not recognize the device and I can't continue (must be guest partnership, right?).
Should I downgrade that 1.06WWE rom to an older WWE Rom first?
If not, what is the precise procedure?
Already asked? Just give me the link.
Thank you very much.
PS: 'search' function already done.
No Idea? Still waiting for an advice.
here try this file to upgrade... just place this file inside the extracted ROM of your choice and run it ...... you will get a country ID error... don't mind the error just click ok and run the file again (notice that your device will be in the bootloader mode and you should keep it that way).....
and you will find the ROM you want in the ftp...
hope that helps.....
Thanks Papa Docta,
I had this file but deleted it like a noob...thank you!
So I can download the last Qtek FR rom instead of my actual I-Mate WWE rom, fix the country id with the file, and upgrade...
Seems to be easy...TOO easy? :?
yep... download the ROM u like, doesn't have to be the imate wwe and enjoy......
