Flashing T-Mobile MDA Compact with iMate JAM ROM??? [Archive]

I managed to get an iMate JAM on my hands this morning! I dumped the ROM with the d2s command in my SD card then I copied it with my card reader and NTRW to my pc as JAM.nb1. I thought that if I was changing the first 416bytes of JAM's ROM with the header of my MDA Compact's that it would be flashable as we did with the German and the English ROM upgrade. BUT didn't work it probably has a different country code. So could anybody help in making this JAM's ROM flashable to the MDA Compact. It happens to be a newer version than the MDA Compact's version.

I FIXED IT!!!!!!!!! :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:
The only thing you have to do is just replace the first 416bytes with the header of your GERMAN ROM backup!!!! I will be uploading it later tonight!

I downloaded first file for 15MB but it seems very strange to me. Can anyone explain what the difference between these two files is? :(

Hmmm… the second 25MB file is also strange. When they are unzipped first is 32 MB second 60MB when I open them with HEX editor first 416b are all zero, so I see no header from I-mate like it was in German ROM from T-mobile. Can anyone confirm the successful flashing with these files? I am a bit afraid to flash it because the better is an enemy of a good! :?

if i would flash this rom into a t-mobile locked mda compact will it remove the simlock?

it's verry possible that this is a verry stupid question but it's gonna be my first MDA

Ok! Jam ROM is working, but I see no dramatic changes from T-mobile. More of that, customization failed because it tried to load some Arabic settings. Was it worth it? :( May be somebody would post original Jam ROM from England?

eltinio I suppose flashing would not help you to unlock your MDA. Look in a forum for solution, it should be there.

Hi, anyone can dump the full rom (with radio and header).
I tried many times to copy the header into, but it is failed.

Thanks!

I up(?)-graded my MDAc German ( t-mobile) to iMate JAM wwe ROM.
hasslefree...but a little bit anxious ...
Since than i am not able to send MMS Messages.
GPRS Settings also not work :-(

I also tried to load parts of the german ext.ROM ... boys ...tell you : a mess- hardreset is the best way out of that.
I compared the cabs of the ROMS to find out settings : nothing new.

Anybody helpful hints??
I need help so bad

greetings , marco
mails would help me also

nospam.pgo39@hotmail.com.nospam tnx a lot in advance

I upgraded my MDAc German ( t-mobile) to iMate JAM wwe ROM.

Is this a universal problem guys? A T-Mobile/Jam witout GPRS and MMS is useless to me.

Or is it just a case of enabling these services with the provider and entering the relevant settings?

Seems to be a setting problem...nothing to worry about but it s*x a little bit.
Although most of problem are solved with the WWE.

Anybody helpful hints with my WWE/T-Mobile problem??
