Safety back-up of my JAMin original WM5 ROM... - Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking

Hello Guys!
I have a JAMin G4 that a marketing company gave me for a daily survey.
It's software branded by WIND (an italian mobile provider). I'd really love to flash it with a WM6 ROM but I didnt do that because I'm afraid I won't be able to restore it as it was when they gave it to me.
So...
Is there a way to back-up my original WM5 rom, flash the WM6 and, when it will come the time to give back the Jamin to the owner, flash back my original WM5?
I've tried to find the answer with the "Search" but nothing came up...
Can you help me?
Thanks in advance,
Bodhi3

wiki to the rescue

Just to be 100% sure... I CANNOT make mistakes...
Can you CONFIRM that...
1) I can back-up my original ROM
2) Upgrade to a WM6 Modded ROM
3) When I will have to give my JAMin back... Restore my original (Backed-up) WM5
Thanks,
Bodhi3

if i wanted confimation i would ask in the prohpet forum
where owners of the same device as you are more likely to read your post
and give you the confimation you seek

Thank you very much Rudegar but...I've posted the same thread on the proper section (Prophet) and still no answer... You were the only kind user that gave me a reply... That's why I asked you again...
Btw, just for my own information... do you know if this procedure is possible and reliable on (any) other model?
Thanks for your kindness and patience...

sorry never owned a prophet myself

German Qtek 9000 ROM available?

Hello!
The Qtek 9000 is sold in Germany with a ROM dated middle October 2005.
Is this ROM also available for download somewhere?
Unfortunately I couldn't find it yet...
I would like to try it on my MDA Pro! :lol:
Deal!
Hey,
I'm looging to change my Qtek german ROM to an English one.
I'm pretty sure we can find a deal in exchanging our ROMs!
But you need to tell me how to extract and how to reflash afterwards.
If interrested contact me.
The english ROM is here on xda-devs-FTP
But: please before flashing your OS upload the german ROM there!
This would be my very best xmas present
Cheers
Ok for your christmas present!
Hello Cendaryn,
I just need coaching or tutorial for extracting and then flashing the ROMs.
If someone tells me how to extract I will post for sure.
And I need also help to flash the english ROM.
Thank you
Well this is my biggest problem - I know how to flash the ROMs but not how to dump them. But I guess a little search in the forum here will help
Cheers
uni_cdl-me_11238_132_10301_ship.exe ) Is this the Qtek ROm? if its not please show me the direction.
Sorry
Sorry with no tutorial I can't help.
I'm really willing to post the german ROM. But haven't a clue where to start.
Does anybody know?
Thank you.
Dumping the ROM seems to be not easy
this is what I found: [Universal] How to d2s (dump) the ROM
I can't help you because I dont have a Universal (Qtek 9000) but I'm very interested in files of this ROM too!!!
Dumping the ROM seems to be not easy
Well, you say it.
If I look the post you mention I still have no idea where to start ???
I keep on seeking for complete tutorial.
By the way, does anybody know if changing the ROM is also changing the WM language? Or do I have to change separately?
Thank you.
A ROM also includes the WM language.
Maybe this topic helps:

Near to target ... but ...
Hi,
Thank you for the links, I feel I'm very close to dump the german ROM.
But not done so far.
And I'm becoming impatient because I found the ROM I want to put in place.
Keep on helping me end pray for I resist not to flash the original german ROM. :twisted: :twisted:
Arrgh!
I'm going mad to find how to backup original ROM.
Don't know if I will resist any longer to flash without backup.
Would You please try to run grab_it on your Universal?
This would give us a RAW-ROM-Image.
and i need a file dump (TestWM5) of a German ROM.
but you will need a Storage Card to do this.
German ROM needed ?
Hi all,
just reading through this thread here. I have an original VDA-IV with an unchanged ROM. I am trying to convince myself to upgrade to JasJar or O2, but did not do so yet. Any wish for a dump from me ?
(Have to leave now, but am able to do so tomorrow)
Ruud
yes, yes, yes...
@Ruud Westerhout: view your last Post
I am getting today my german qtek 9000.. But I will flash to wwe Qtek.. I will try to dump the german one first.. But maybe I need a little help..
Alex
Idea
Maybe, we can have it a little easier, because I think, ROM dumping is very difficult and could also be hard to flash on other devices. For MDA compact (HTC Magician) for example, you had to edit the dumped ROM with a binary editor before it worked on other devices. Also, there often were problems with some SD card readers/writers, etc.
The best way would be getting a ROM update from the vendor (e.g Qtek) as a complete EXE-File. This could be flashed on other devices with the maupgrade_noid-Tool from xda developers FTP server.
So, it would be nice of you Qtek users, if you could write an e-mail to Qtek.ch!
They offer updates for Qtek users, but you need to mail your IMEI number. So MDA Pro users are not able to get Qtek updates this way.
I'll do this.. No problem..
Any other requests??

Dumping S620 rom, downgrade ?

Hello,
I really want to upgrate to WM6 as soon as possible. My phone operator offer me some services (emails, web, messenger) only if I use the prvided settings and applications.
If I upgrade to WM6 and things don't work, is going back to factory state as simple to flashing HTC WM5 + EXT ROM ?
Jean
I was wondering the same thing: I would like to upgrade to WM6, but not without having a backup of the WM5 rom supplied by the Wireless Network Operator.
I searched the forum on how to backup the rom, but was unable to find any usable information. Anybody would like to help us out?
you can't back it up in that way.
just download one of the wm5 roms posted here.
1. The original WM5 ROM for the s620 is available. It's out there online if you do a little searching. It used to be hosted here. I ran it on my Dash for months before going to WM6.
2. HTC is going to be releasing the WM6 update soon. This will be a MUCH better firmware than T-Mobile's. Also, if you wait for it, you won't have to worry about unlocking or anything.
-Mc
p.s. Smartphones don't have an Extended ROM.
alright thanks guys, I'll just wait till the official HTC release, I also found the wm5 roms, so I should be all set.
I was able to find an unbranded rom (not sure if it the latest... which is the latest French version ?) but if smart phones doesn't contain ext rom, where are the customizations ?
My french phone operator is Ten Mobile. I think it will be tricky to find that particular rom.
wm5 rom...
Can someone email me a link or email me the original wm5 rom for the htc s620 and not the t-mobile dash version?
TIA
s620 wm6 rom

Thanks

rom flashing newbie need help!

hi, i posted this thread in the artemis thread ealier when i should have done so here instead.
sorry for my ignorance on this topic but here goes anyway.
i have an orbit that came with wm5 which i later flashed to the official wm6 via o2 upgrade website.
the only problem i have is that the new rom is taking up too much programme memory and has made the phone terribly slow.
i'd like to get it flashed with a rom that doesnt take up too much memory but the problem is that i cant find a step by step guide (for laymens like myself) of how i should do this.
what is the most stable rom available for the orbit and where can i find it from?
if i get my phone flashed via a 3rd party rom will it remove the microsoft office mobile apps from the phone? (i really need these for my uni studies)
thanks in advance.
sorry moderators for posting this thread in two forums.

Hi,
I need some Help with the Toshiba e830.
Well as I know there are no updates whatsoever, but maybe some of you guys can make one. I really want to have at least wm5 because the old wm2003 doesnt seem to work with most new programs (i need the new opera mobile 9.5)
The device is great hardwarewise. I mean it has all i need.
actually i read, that there was an update for the japanese e830 (japanese Rom)
http://forum.brighthand.com/showthread.php?t=214221
there is a link where you can download the rom....
so if anyone of you can do something with it, it would be great.
i have no experience at all with these things.
but i am willing to help with my device.
please guys i need your help....
Comeon guys, is there really nobody willing to help?
Im willing to pay if needed.
im telling you. its a great machine, and most of the newer programs are just made for wm5 or wm6. so is there no solution to this.
i mean there is a bootloader for the japanese rom, cant i backup my own, or write a new rom with wm6 on the pda?
are there any other e830 users?

You should do a wm5 or wm6 rom for such e830 users as me,and somebody maybe pay for it
LOL
thats what im asking others to do...
because i have absolutely no plan at all...
if there are tutorials on how to do it or someone would explain or help how it works im willing and will try it for sure...
and i guess there are still some e830 users out there.
as i understood, the problem is a bootloader to reach the data in the rom of the device...
hehe, im the one who needs help...
anyway, ive found a bootloader and the japanese rom update...
there are two files: eboot.bin and xip.bin ...
so maybe someone of you guys knows anything...
Yeah its me again, a thread with my posts only...
Does anybody know who could be contacted to help me?
i do have a xip.bin and a eboot.bin and the flash program itself...

Restore to Stock SPL from T-Mobile

Hi Guys!
First @ all. Thank you for this great Community, this great tutorials and all this help and stuff you can find here. It is realy great
But now ... I got a little prob here. I want to restore my MDA Compact IV from T-Mobile with it original Rom and SPL. I can find the ROM but the SPL is missing and I need it for warranty reasons. Does anybody has this SPL and can send or upload it for me? It is for the german version of my lovely Diamond. If it's another language I wouldn't really care about it. The most important thing is that this ugly T-Mobile Logo is back again
Thank you for your help.
I will take a look on this fred tomorrow morning after a looooong sleep

Use the search function.. There's a good site called "modmydiamond.." They have the answer there. I've pasted the page below:
http://modmydiamond.info/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=17&Itemid=27
I used that function. The problem is that this guide offers me only the htc spls. Not that from T-Mobile
Somewhere on this forum you can download the official tmobile ROM for the UK. That one contains a Tmobile SPL. It is a UK version, but they might be the same....
