Quick question before upgrading

Hi everyone,
I tried a search for this but couldn't get relevant information.
I am currently running a cooked ROM 4.05 and wanted to upgrade it to the latest official WM 2003 rom from ATT. I am not gonna upgrade my radio stack, and I know how to avoid this by unzipping the exe file and using the .nbf file in XDAtools to upgrade.
My question is, how do I save my sms's and then restore them back? In active sync, can I do a full backup and then a full restore after upgrade and will this save the sms's as well? I know it saves all my personal files and such, but what about the sms's? I tried using that "Sms export" program but it doesnt seem to work for me. (or maybe I'm not using it correctly, but there's no help)
A quick reply would be appreciated. Thank you all.

You need a program like Pocket Backup.

Total backup
I would like to upgrade my ROM on qtek 2020.
I need also a backup of all my programs and data on it, I mean that I don't have to reinstall nothing when I make a restore.
It is not enough to make a backup in Activesync (in tools)? It is written that it makes a complete beckup (also programs and settings).
Another question. Is it possible to have the original ROM (which I have now on my qtek 2020) somewhere, in case that the new one has bugs?
I have now:
ROM version: 1.03.00 USA
ROM date: 09/24/03
Radio version: 1.05.12
Protocol version: 1337.12
ExtROM version: 1.03.21
Please, I really need help.
Thanks in advance for the answer,
Uros

New I-mate JAM owner

Hi, this is my first time here. I just bought an I-mate JAM today.
The firmware on my device is as under;
ROM version: 1.1100 WWE
ROM dare: 03/14/05
Radio version: 1.11.00
Protocol version: 1337.42
ExtROM version: 1.11.183 WWE
I wanted to know if I could upgrade the ROM to a newer version?
If yes, how?
Sorry if this is n00bish but i've never had a pocket pc. All my life i've had a Symbian based phone.

Yes you can easily upgrade your device, make a backup of the ext-rom thought before you start. This part contains all kind of extra's like operator settings, backgrounds & applications. To do this you must make a link, via Act.Sync on the hidden file on your PPC: \windows\loadvdisk.exe. Put this link on your PPC in \windows\startup & start it with file explorer on the PPC. Now the ext-rom is shown & you can create a backup. After every soft-reset the loadvdisk.lnk is executed so it will remain visible almost for ever.
When you upgrade the rom, you will also have a new ext-rom content with provider settings, which might not be suitable for you. All you have to do is put the cabs containing the settings from your ori. ext-rom on your device & click on them to install.

Extended ROM not writeable.

I recently used a cab to unhide the extended rom on my o2 mini s. That worked with no problem. When I try ti install programs to the rom they keep failing. Any idea?
ROM version: 2.26.10.2 WWE
ROM date: 6/7/06
Radio version: 02.25.11
Protocol version: 4.1.13.12
Thanks

yes you can not write anything to the rom (Read only Memory). And if you search you can find some programmes that let you redo it, but if you dont know what you are doing i would not play!

Thanks...Would you know where I can find this info? Before I upgraded my ROM, I used the 10mb from the ext rom quite a bit.

On original shipping ROMs, the Extended ROM is only hidden, not protected in any other way. It can be accessed by using Total Commander and manually entering the directory "\Extended_ROM\" without the quotes. On the new AKU2 ROMs the Extended ROM is locked and a solution has not been found - you currently cannot delete or modify the contents.

Another way is to cook your own Extended Rom your computer and put it back to your Wizard Device. This way you could customise your won Extended Rom.

What happened to my MMS?

After deleting ExtROM and changing ROM & Radio into 1.13.00 WWE I noticed there is no MMS folder or abilty in my JAM.
What happened to it?

OOOps, found it
Simply added again from ExtROM backup the MMS composer.

Scandic (Finnish) FULL QWERTY, Phone pad and T9

If anybody has this CAB file I would be extremely happy if somebody could send it here.

Thanks you really saved my day
Ps.
I ran in a strange problem I copied CAB file to my device and tried to run it but as soon as installation starts I get unsuccessful installation error.
My Hd has these specs:
ROM: 1.14.405.3 (22273) WWE
ROM date: 10/24/08
Radio: 1.09.25.14
Protocol: 52.49a.25.26U
Is there something I've done wrong?
