Installing an OLD ROM onto an IMATE K-JAM - 8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General

Hello guys.
One of our customers has a K-Jam (wizard) and has the latest ROM installed on it.
We had major compatability issues with ClearView and the customers Emailed PDF files with this ROM (would not show any text). We installed acrobat and fixed the file associations so the PDF documents now work and open fine.
The old ROM 1.1.9.3 date: 9/16/05 radio: 01.01.10 protocol 4.0.13.16, extROM 1.1.9.104 does not have this issue at all.
The customer is a little against technology, and the problem we have is, if he needs to hard reset the device, he will loose the changes we have made.
We have downloaded the ROM we need to install but the ROM INSTALLER is to OLD and it wont install.
We have tried the Boot Log method to no avail.
Any Suggestions at all?

i am amazed by how quickly things turn around in here, not many weeks ago we were looking forward to XDA-Developers 1.2, now look where we are.
Because i'm such a cheap-skate i don't have internet access at home, but i do at work however for some paltry security reason 'ftp' is blocked. is there any way i could get 4.00.10 without radio.exe via http
many thanks
@jerome
I've installed it on my O2 XDA, I think it is a little more stable with a few less bugs. But if you install it there is TMobile software on it. You can remove it easilly, but you have to know what you do, which means removing the apps from the Startup folder and from the Today settings.
@david beckham
Well with which FTP program are you downloading? You can do it even with a web browser, it is pretty simple. Since there are now already 5 users downloading (which is the maximum) it is pretty clear you should download it without problems. Does it give an error?
I'm uploading the 3 files to my homepage now which is much quicker than my FTP. When it is there (about 45 min.) I will post it here.
Sorry the uploading to my homepage isn't quicker, but blame it on the guys who are downloading from my FTP which steal 45 KBps! :lol:
@Aurora13
Is your XDA Asian version ? Did you find any particular problem upgrading it to WM2003 T-Mobile version ?
Did you upgrade also the radio version ? My XDA comes from Asia and I'd like to wait for the radio upgrad that will be available this August...
Can you be more specific on how to remove T-Mobile software ? What do we have to do ?
Thank you !
As you can see I'm from The Netherlands so your first question should already be answered. But you can update your Asian XDA but without the radio update!
Your second question:
What to remove:
- Disable the TMobile Today plugin in Settings - Today
- Remove the TMobile shortcut from the Windows\Startup folder
- Remove Program Files\AIM if you don't use it and wants to save RAM space
- Remove Program Files\TMobile if you don't use it and wants to save RAM space
Reset the device and the TMobile stuff is all gone!
Sorry I can't host the files on my homepage. I've got to less space and my monthly bandwith can't allow it. So you guys are stuck with my FTP until someone else host it.
Aurora13
maybe I am new to this ftp thing, i just type this when i am in the ftp prompt
ftp>get 4.00.10 - exe-without-radio-update.zip
i still cant get the file, can you show me how should i get it?? I am using the ftp from the MS DOS prompt...
get "4.00.10 - exe-without-radio-update.zip"
should do the trick since DOS cannot use spaces without the "" around it
Good luck!
Hi!
When I click on your FTP Server I get the message:
403 Forbidden - The server denies the specified Uniform Resource Locator (URL). Contact the server administrator. (12202)
Internet Security and Acceleration Server
Any Idea?
Your solution:
Don't click on it!
Open it with a FTP program, or replace http://ftp.alain-net.net with ftp://ftp.alain-net.net
it is FTP and not a web site
can i restore my bata with 4.00.05 backup with 4.00.5 rom?

Is This Safe?
Hey, Im Currently Running The Kitchen Rom 4.00.05 with Radio Version A.20.10 :S Is it safe to install the new tmobile rom 4.00.10 exe with radio update or ?? Any help would be great
Thanks, Allen
My Device:
Tmobile Pocket PC Phone Edition USA
Microsoft Pocket PC Version 4.20.1081 (Build 13100)
Rom: Kitchen Rom 4.00.05 ENG (PPC2003)
ROM Date: 06/05/03
Radio Version: A.20.10
I updated my XDA from ROMkitchen 4.00.05 to T-Mobile 4.00.10 .exe.
Somehow, I could not roll back to my previous ROMkitchen 4.00.05. When I execute ROMkitchen 4.00.05, in the adaptrom window I got an error message below:
“error: GetConnectionType – An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host.
error getting connection”
My activesync is still on. I am using Radio Stack 4.21.00.
XDA Developer please help ………….. or can anyone help me please……..
Heres the deal....
All i did was do the regular upgrade to 4.00.10 and got to 13% on Radio Stack Upgrade when it errored so i took it out did a few Soft Reset's no luck so i flashed the 4.00.10 Rom through the wallaby bootloader got it up waited patiently for CE to load... loaded after about 15 minutes at that time it was running terribly slow and when i got it up i had no service because i had no Radio Stack so i then loaded up this old radio stack well not so old but it was version 4.21 i then soft reset the device started the 4.00.10 install it went through the Radio Stack then the Rom update with absolutley NO errors or conflicts so everything is working great..
Ill keep you posted on any error's i find or conflicts with stuff so far nothing wrong !
Heres something to keep in mind DONT Upgrade To Tmobile Rom 4.00.10 With the radio stack version A.20.10 Or you will be doing what i had to do!
i want to say thanks to all the great people out there posting
Thanks, Allen
Thanks to Aurora it was easy as pie to flash the w/o radio stack tmo pre-release 2003 -- and I did it over 4.00.05!!
I like this rom much better too -- interface, response, stabilty all are much better than 4.00.05. However, I've only been working with it a few hours now, and that could change ... but I don't expect it to.

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.

ROM upgrade in Australia

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
Howdy,

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,
Where can I get ROM A.30.09 from?

Which Radio Stack is the best to use in Australia?

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)?

xda2i rom help(andes)

hi i am new to this site i am having xda2i with following confg.
ROM version: 1.11.00 WWE
ROM date: 01/27/05
radio version: 1.00.00
Protocol version :1337.39
ExtRON version 1.11.171
model PH10c
now i have few question
1. i have read that xda2i cant be upgrated to windows 2005 is it true?
2.what is the latest version for xda2i and where i can downloaded it.
3. i have seen many people using radio verion 1.18,1.19 but i am using 1.00 can i upgrade my ROM version of my xda2i and which is the best radio version for xda2i keeping in mind signal reception,battery,voice clarity,bluetooth speed etc
hope i get all my answers
thanx in advance
regards majnnuu
no one to help me??????????????
Here ya go....
1) Correct. You can't upgrade your 2i to WM5.
2) I would recommend downloading one of pug's ROMs. You can find them here: ftp://xda:[email protected]/Alpine/O2_Roms_Camera_Fixed_Bug/
If you hate the o2 active stuff, then download the one marked "o2stripped" (I would recommend this one). If you like the o2 active stuff, then download the other.
3) The latest Radio ROM available for the 2i is version 1.04. If you upgrade your ROM using one of pug's rom, then your radio will automatically be updated to version 1.04.
Justin
BTW, I think your device is an Alpine, not an Andes.
Got a problem I'm hoping someone can help me with.
I was updating my rom and it all went wrong. When I turn my xda2i on now I get the normal setup then its goes to a black screen with serial written on it (or usb if it is in the cradle), and apart from that it does nothing.
My laptop no longer recorgnises the device so I can't restore the old rom or restart the process????
Can anyone help please?
tez,
You're in what is called "Bootloader". You're OK. You can do one of two things:
1) Simply re-attempt to "reflash your ROM" with one of the ROMs you downloaded.
2) Reflash your ROM with a ROM update provided your manufacturer. I couldn't get my device to update with one of pug's rom (it go stuck around 18%) so I had to reflash my Alpine with an original ROM released from a manufacturer.
Hope this helps.

Speed of BA w/WM2003?

By virtue of my 2 x XDAII's failing for whatever reasons (abuse, long-life, etc.), I had to shift to one of my XDAII's (BA) with base OS:
=======================================
WM2003 SE
Version 4.21.1088 (Build 15045.2.6.0)
Processor: Intel(R) PXA263
Memory: 125.77 MB
ROM v.: 1.40.00 WWE
ROM date: 03/10/05
Radio: 1.12.00
Protocol: 1337.42
ExtROM v: 1.40.923 WWE
Model No.: PH20B
=================================
I have found that this phone is WAY SLOWER than the XDAII - it's really incredibly slow! (And I had my XDAII with less RAM available!)
I have had problems connecting in Mumbai (India) with Vodafone (this happens with other units (EDGE modem/XDAII) too, but this is *extreme*!
I have to shut off the radio (put into flight mode) then back on, in order to connect to GPRS, or it simply will not connect!
I have tried flashing the ROM for the radio to 1.15, but I have to edit the file on the unit, else I get the error - it's really very time-consuming!
I'm afraid that all my time that I put into this unit will go to waste if I do not have a stable unit that I can rely on....
Any feedback on this?
Thanks!
Try the T-Mobile's rom or PDA2K's rom in Blue Angel Upgrading section.
The O2 rom bugs me too much.
Also install O2 Asia upgrade (I guess u r running a non asian one thats why BA isnt showing compatibility with ur network. Try upgrading to WM5/6 and see if u have luck on GSM/GPRS since majority of asian networks phail with BA WM5/6/6.1/6.5

well first of all if you want less bugs do not install the OEM crapware (the extrom software) you may even resize the extrom partition to 128 k to use the space as storage
http://alevri.atspace.com/ - updated Shipped roms list and mirrors which i will keep online
My advice is to flash the latest t-mobile 1.42 rom delete radio and extrom update files and flash rom only

Wow - thanks for the tips - wonderful to have the gurus of the BA helping us!
So, how does one delete the radio files?
I unzipped and extracted, then ran the .exe file, which started the RUU update.

Why can't you? Keep in mind that you can only do this only in 2003. So, from what I have read in your other posts you are either in 6.1 or in 6.5 (going back to 6.1). You have to use the Repart_doc and the ExtRom Unlocker tools in order to do so.
Aside from everything, I have been using xplode's version of 6.5 and I am pretty happy with it (both stability and usability)-wise.
If you are absolutely disgusted by it, you should try sun_dream's 20578. Best 6.1 that I have had...
Hope this helps.
