Is it possible: Qtek 9100/k-JAM ROM on a dopod 838

Hi it seems that Qtek and i-mate are a bit faster in coming out with ROMs. I was wondering if I could update my dopod 838 [WIZA100] with a Qtek 9100 or k-JAM [WIZA200] ROM, if I recall correctly the difference between the 2 models are the dopod has WiFi 802.11b and the Qtek 9100 and k-JAM have 802.11g. Aside from this is the physical appearance. Has anyone with a dopod 838 updated his/her device with a ROM from Qtek or i-mate?
--
1) How do I do it? What tools do I need?
2) Does WiFi work with a Qtek/k-JAM ROM?
3) Is the device stable? Any noticeable performance boosts?

Thanks in Advance

Yep !! you can do that.
Actually I did try all ROMs and found out the the best (fast&stable) ROM is T-Mobile.
You can find out about flashing ROM in this thread

hi jarmsk,
may i ask if you are using a dopod 838 as well?

Yep!! right now I'm using Dopod 838
if you have any problem flashing you Dopod you can mail me at

I was able to flash it to T-Mobile but I lost the Mono BT streaming so I decided to revert back to the dopod ROM. Also I noticed that CVC on both ROMs are a bit different. On my dopod it says: "say a command" with the T-Mobile version it just chimes. I'll play around with my dopod ROM for a bit longer then maybe I will play with the other ROMs as well.

Can I use the file to upgrade my Dopod 818 Pro? Has anyone tried it?

Yes, you can do that but your 818Pro will have European/Australian GSM settings instead of Asian. You need to flash the DopodAsia Extended_rom if you want those Asian settings.

I am in Australia currently, and bought my Dopod in Singapore. I am currently facing the Sleep-To-Death (STD) problem on my Dopod so I am wondering if I should try the imate ROM...

Imate Jamin rom on Dopod 818-Pro (Hong-Kong)
I tried flashing my 818-pro with the Jamin Rom... stoped after 95% (assuming when validating the device ID) and informed that the rom is not for my device... left the 818-pro dead!. My only way to recover was, to flash with MDA compact rom to bring it live again and than load through awizard the 818-pro WWE version from this FTP.
Conclusions:
1. Imate decided to disable an incorrect device???? (perhaps un-intentially).. therefore avoid using the Imate RRU utility.
2. flash NBA through the Awizard utility.
Question how to separate the Extended Rom from the NK.NBA provided ???

I don't think so. I have successfully flashed my Dopod 818Pro with Imate JAMin. However, I flashed it back to DopodAsia ROM because it's not a newer ROM.

If you still can get your Dopod to the Bootloader mode, you may try to flash it with this Imate ROM. Better than STD I guess. Good luck!
(To get it to Bootloader, press Camera button and reset the unit. Holding the camera button until you see four color bars. Insert USB connector and run the ROM file.)

Thanks for the advice Khuanchai, I might want to try this out, but am worried about getting a failed flash like in Dubi's case. It will be difficult for me to send my 818Pro for repair as there are no Dopod service centres here in Australia.
Do I need to take special precautions before running the update, such as applying the unlock CID option using the aWizard tool?

Not sure you need to unlock CID in order to flash a new ROM only but it's a must if you want to backup your Dopod ROM. I have done this to backup my Dopod ROM that can be flashed back whenever I want.
I think Dubi has failed because of incomplete downloaded file.
There is a very good information for flashing Dopod 818Pro with Imate ROM at PDAMobiz.com:

Unfortunately, this is in Thai but it's easy to follow if you have some experience on flashing ROM.

Failed to flash Imate rom on Dopod 818
Thanks for the remarks.... however... My phone has been originally Chinese and I loaded the 818pro rom wwe avaiable here on the FTP> however by mistake I flashed it before with an MDA compac rom which installed a wierd Extended Rom which I can't get rid of, unleass I have a good "ship" version. Tried few time to flash the Imate Jamin rom and it quited after 95%. I am currently using the Imate version.. dated Jan 9th. which I was able to finalize with lot's of tricks such as complete the RRU by lading just a radio version.... I think (just feeling) that the Dopod818 pro wwe is better.... however in order to resolve my complete issues and to let you know if it fialed (95%) becuase of Imate or becasue of a strange Extendedrom that I have I need to have access to a "SHIP" WWE Asia version. Placed a request here on the Board but so far no one Uploaded it... Yet.
I can ensure you that My phone is CID unlocked etc. etc.... Tried some RRUs but None could identify the Imate nk.nba rom., while the original RRU of imate failes on 95%.. keep anouncing that the rom is not for me???!!!
Please if one of you have access to the Asia Dopod site please upload a complete "ship" version (English please).

I have backed up my Dopod 818Pro's original ROM (English version) to a BIN file that needs to write to an SD card before flashing the unit. If you want to try, please find a place that I could upload to.

Here is the original Dopod 818Pro ROM (WWE) with instructions. I had difficulty uploading file but finally finished. Let me know if you find the file incomplete.
Cannot attached file but here is the link:
ftp://xda:[email protected]/Uploads/DopodAsia.zip

818Pro bin file.... Corrupted...
Thanks for the efforts, however the zip file is corrupted.... I tried dnload it 3 times, the same file and zip is corrupted... I suggeste please verify that indeed your original file integrity is ok and upload it again. The best is just to attach the file to your message (if you have difficulties to use the ftp...).
Thank you..

Hope this helps.

I'm using a Dopod rom on my wizrd device, which used to be a Tmobile MDA vario... and it works fine.
If you have used Lockiwiz to unlock and CID unlock your device, then you can flash to any rom... no probs

PDAMobiz Prophet WM6 V1.00 is easy to turn dead?
In the first half day of using it, it is excellent! But after that, it is easy to be "dead" while running some program,say while searching for contacts! And even after soft reset, it can't be opened smoothly!
后来我发觉，开机很容易死机 [/quote]
我也发现存在这个问题！是不是与自己安装的一些软件冲突啊！我正在查找联系人时死机了！半天起 不来！:ma d:
