I have a
Dopod 818 Pro, and i would like to upgrade it using imate JAMIN's ROM.
does this void my orignal dopod warranty ? and if yes how do i overcome it ?
can someone please provide me with the steps needed to upgrade.
thanks
Don't know about the warranty but you could always resume back your original Dopod ROM if you have done a ROM backup before upgrading to a new ROM.
There is a Thai website that describes how to backup your original ROM and to upgrade to Imate JAMin ROM. Unfortunately, it's in Thai language but the pictures may help.
http://www.pdamobiz.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=52433&PN=1
The most important part is at the end of the post and this is in English:
Steps to Up Rom:
1. Unlock CID (follow this link)
2. Backup original 818Pro Rom (follow the link to backup ROM to SD)
3. Enter Boot Loader (follow this link)
4. Run file JAMin_WWE_1000925_10009114_11420_ship.exe then Next, and next until finish.
Hope this helps.
thanks it worked
i used awizard to backup my rom instead
then ran the exe file and it upgraded with no problems at all
but one concern, there are pre-installed apps there that cannot be run, i get an error message saying "can not run on this device", does this mean i need a genuine imate to run it on ? , anyone knows how to fix this ?
I didn't see that problem when I ran the ROM update last week.
i used the arabic rom version, it comes with 7 apps for arabic
maybe it only works for imate, not the dopod

@Khuanchai
I'm also trying to switch my Chinese system to English. So I tried the Jamin version but no success since i think i'm missing a lot of info for the right process.
I went to the Thai website you mention but I don't get a word of it...!
The short english version you give doesn't have active links so not enough information for me (its all pretty new for me...)
Any help welcome. Thanks !
Please try again:
1. Unlock CID: http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=33796&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0
2. Backup original 818Pro Rom: http://www.pdamobiz.com/show_news.asp?NewsID=47377
3. Enter Boot Loader: press Camera + Reset, hold camera button until you see 3-colors bands on the dopod screen
4. Run file JAMin_WWE_1000925_10009114_11420_ship.exe then Next, and next until finish.
Good luck!
Khuanchai,
I understand that flashing the Dopod 818 Pro with IMate's rom will overwrite the extended rom with IMate's version. Does following the procedures to backup the Dopod rom to sd card and then restoring from it restore Dopod's extended rom back into the unit as well?

Yes, but with the procedures described in that link, you will have the whole ROM backup. If you use that backup file to restore ROM, it will restore everything back not only the Extended_rom. However, you can backup each part of the ROM separately, for examples, use os option to backup OS ROM only, use gsm option to backup radio ROM only, or use extrom option to backup Extended_rom only. You will then have separate ROM backup files and you can restore back any part separately.
So how did it work?
What were your thoughts on performance, stability?
no that much speed difference

Please help me!
I followed all the steps from others:
1) back up my German rom
2) fix English rom/copy header
3) transfer English rom to my SD card from my hard disk
And here comes the problem in step 4: flashing English rom to my MDA Compact.
After seeing the words "serial wait" I press power button, but, the MDA Compact does not do anything, cannot start flashing. I tried re-doing all these steps several and still cannot change German to English rom. Please help....
Can anyone send me the English rom you use in this process? maybe I have downloaded the wrong English rom...
just ensure you place the sd into the jam then go into bootldr menu, also have the usb connected, then the screen shod say... press power to flash, don't press power until prompted
hth

Re: Urgent! Cannot flash English rom to my German MDA Compac
For the English rom, should I use the T-Mobile UK Rom from the ftp site or other roms?
If I should use other rom, e.g. Riccardo's Rom, can anyone send me the correct Rom please!!!
Also, I replaced 220 bytes before and the flashing did not work, so should I replace 416 bytes instead?
Thanks a lot for your help..

I have sucessfully use Ricardo's ROM v1.11WWE modified by Anasky for 27Mb storage. The important thing to remember is to replace the first 416byte (if you are using HHD Hexeditor) instead of 220byte. Also remember to plug in your XDAII Mini (USB) and to put it in bootloader mode.
Happy Upgrading

Here is rom with new Radio ROM 1.04
http://extendedsystems.dk/download/qtek/2020i/WWE_Sonofon_11100_165_10400_Ship.exe
Enjoy
Thank for the new radio, but some how I got country erro on the processing upgrade.
Please Help.
is this for the xda 2i please ..only asking as i'm not sure
thanks
This rom is only for Alpine phones, thats the 2i, 2020i etc.
As soon as my broadband is working again (tomorrow hopefully) I'll post the O2 162 rom with the radio 1.04 update for the UK users and anyone else who wants it.
If you want to try this update on the 2i you will need to extract the files from the installer and locate a copy of maupgradeut_noid.exe and use that instead of the included installer. There are better instructions elsewhere on this site, just do a search for my name, I'll be in amongst it all somewhere.
cheers i'll give it a go but if you are doing it maybe i'll wait ,i've only just gone back to your old 1 tonight as i don't use blackberry & it seemed better than o2 update
I have just posted the ROM upgrade on the ftp site, the only change is the radio from 1.03 to 1.04. It seems to give a better signal strength than version 1.03 on my phone anyway.
Here's the link to download the O2 version I just combined
(Edited to working link
ftp://xda:[email protected] XDA_IIi_Upgrade_v1.11.162_Radio_1.04.rar
1: Backup your contacts/device to Storage, Storage Card or PC. If you are using Ext Rom 1.11.162 now you can use full device backup to restore at the end to save you re-installing all your programs later.
2: Extract the ROM using Winrar to a folder of your choice.
3: Run MaUpgradeUT_Noid.exe. The install will fail, don't worry, just run it again without touching the phone.
4: When the upgrade has finished, do a hard reset by pressing the power button and reset button at the same time.
5: Install any programs and any data you backed up during step 1.
Good luck.
Excellent stuff
Upgraded and now running 1.04 radio and i can also say it has improved my signal strength too
Big thanks Pug for your work on the ROM image too, very much appreciated.
Hear, Hear. Many thanks to Pug, great work!
many thanks to Pug,
its work perfectly.....no more lag of ringtones or lag after green button pushed!! thanks Pug.....
i want to know about backup, after upgrade ROM, i cant restore back by backup. When using Backup Sprite, i will go back to old ROM after restore complete. any ideas????
@ Clustered
When you say it goes back to the old rom do you mean that the Radio rom is regerted back to 1.03 or that your extended rom goes back to 192 or whichever you are using?
Sprite backup should not revert the radio rom back to 1.03 as it should only do the file system of your device.
As far as the extended ROM version, all it is there for is to indicate the "update" status of the extended ROM and what software is installed in it. An asian rom may have a higher rom version but may be no newer or better than the european 162 rom. You're talking about comparing hedgehogs to wibbles, completely arbitary. As soon as you cook the extended ROM like I have it is completely meaningless anyway as the version number is no longer valid.
If you wish to change the version number yourself, use a registry editor and go to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\OEM\3RDVERSION and change the MSYSTEM value to whatever you like.
If I have the wrong end of the stick, I apologise otherwise I hope this helps.
huh!? are u mad at me ??? anyway, i just wanna tell that you're the great! thanks very much....
I'm not mad at you, just woke up from a night shift....bloody binmen.
Was just trying to figure out which rom was reverting and so on. Hope it was of use to you anyway.
Once again, sorry.
HELP!
I Can't Upgrade the ROM.
step 1 is OK (radio)
Step 2 is OK (EXT):
Step 3 to 8 % PC show : Error 112: CE ROM UPDATE ERROR
WHY???
i run the MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe second Time , but frist Run MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe Need to STOP(use TASK Manager)??
PLEASE HELP ME
thanks for the update ..it's upgrading at the moment
thanks for the update, the only problem i'm having is that even though i've got the in call volume as low as it will go it is still too loud to be comfortable which is a big change from the previous rom. Also when using in the car on handsfree the other person can hear his voice echoing as they speak. Any ideas????
Successfully upgraded my XDAIIi.....
I'm now with the latest ROM from O2 UK (1.11.169 WWE) and the Radio version 1.04.00
Hi, I'm from Malaysia and will this rom be able to use on my device?
I'm using XDA IIi and device id is PH10C.
I'm affraid there will be a problem for my local operator "Maxis".
@ ramnkc
To be honest I can't see a problem with this ROM working with your current operator. I'm pretty sure that others from your neck of the woods are using the ROM with no problems. The biggest problem you would have is that it wouldn't load all your GPRS, WAP, MMS, etc settings as it is a UK rom.
Make sure you can get hold of these settings off your current provider before you perform the upgrade. Or as an alternative, extract your current ROM and reload it back onto your phone using SD card.
thanks for the reply !
Well i guess i gonna wait for the official release coz so far i'm happy with it. Apart of the constant SD Card data missing after playback mid, mp3 or what ever music files from SD Card.
And i finally found out that it cause by SBP pocketplus which had an option to close all application once you tab on X. Once i turn that option off in pocket plus so far problem free.
Guys/gals out there have this problem ?
ykyloveu - Does this mean you have BB Connect as well? The only modified rom from here I can download is based on cer .112 The new rom for o2 with BBConnect is ver .169
maybe this is a basic question.. sorry for my ignorance...
I am asking this because I have tried almost every extended ROM, but i.e. when I installed Jasjar extended rom, after hard reset, I didn't notice/found any difference, couldn't find an imate logo, for example.
So maybe I an not installing extended ROM correctly, and installing shipped ROM would be the solution. is this possible? , .. maybe it is the same thing..
The Shipping ROM updates 3 things:
1. OS ROM
2. Radio
3. Extended
The Extended ROM just updates , the extended rom
The Splash Screen (the logo on reset) is stored in the OS ROM
To detail, You could change you Splash Screen with any sevice Provider, Just install the .cab which you could find in this forum(Skin related sub-forums).
It is stored in the upper part of the BoodLoader.. Could not be loacted in you windows but with a special tool.
thanks
I've been asking this because until now I thought that in order to try a ROM -i.e Jasjar, O2, etc - I should just copy the extended rom files of the selected ROM in Univesal's extended ROM folder, then hard reset and you are done.
But I feel like doing this you are just installing a few mods -not sure -.
So a good conclusion would be.. if I want to try Jasjar ROM, I must install Jasjar Shipped ROM?? :?

Yes as I stated above, the Shipping ROM versions include RADIO, EXTROM, OS update.
So you can install JASJAR OS but have O2 extended ROM
I used aWizard to backup the ROM of my Wizard Model 100 (Vodafone VPA compact II). After playing around with another ROM, I now want to go back to the original Vodafone ROM. Using aWizard again, I was able to restore the main ROM into the device, but it seems like it did not restore the extended ROM. The main ROM is working normally, but the Vodafone customizations didn't start after hard reset. I unlocked the extended ROM and can now see that it contains no files. Unfortunately, it is also write protected, so I cannot copy the extended ROM files manually.
How can I get the extended ROM files back into the device? I know that I could simply copy the files somewhere else and run it manually, but I'd like to restore the original state.
From my research, it seems to be a specific problem about the VPA compact II that even if you can unlock (i.e. "make visible") the extended ROM, it will still remain write protected...
Just think.
Maybe you should firstly refresh your rom with an older version like 1.5.x.x or sth. that would make the ext-rom visable & rewritable. than after you copy all that .cab files as you need, use aWizard to just upload the newer rom (at this case should be 2.17.x.x).
Never try this, if succeed pls let me know... :wink:
yeah this works this is what i have done to change the splash screen several times...on several units as well.....
Hello,
how can I backup the original Rom of my I-mate jas jar ?
I am fairly new to this and I want to upgrade from WM 5 to WM 6.5.
Thanks
Regards,
Some one
Welcome to forums
Applications can be stored on your SD card with no problem, and as for your SMS and log calls search for PIM Backup.
WM6.5 is 100% working on Universal but its heavy to run unless you have a modified 128Mb RAM, if not I would recommend WM6.1 (Tomal 8.2, 8.5 and 8.9 ROM´s) as they will be fast and stable.
Instructions to upgrade on my signature link.
Good luck,
Thanks orb,
But I was asking if there was a way to backup my original Wm5 from my phone , I have already backed up the apps and contacts.Now (if there is such a way) I want to backup the actual WM which came with it.
Regards,
some one
If you mean to the ROM this will be wiped out but you can check on my signature link for WM5 ROM to have it.
Believe me once you test WM6 or above you won´t want to go back, unless video call is a must for you
Good luck,
Yes I saw the wm5 in the signature on your link but isn't there a way for me to backup wm5 from my own PPC??
Oh and from where can I get the java midlet manager for wm5 (till I have not flashed my phone ) , I want the cab file of the same one which comes pre-installed?
Backing up and reconstructing the ROM is hard work. There's usually no reason to do so unless you want to cook your own rom. If you can find the version of your rom (probably somewhere in start-settings-system, can't recall exactly where off-hand), you can download the same or a newer version if you want to return to it later. As orb3000 says though, you won't want to unless you really have to make video calls.
