Hi, this is my first time here. I just bought an I-mate JAM today.

The firmware on my device is as under;

ROM version: 1.1100 WWE
ROM dare: 03/14/05
Radio version: 1.11.00
Protocol version: 1337.42
ExtROM version: 1.11.183 WWE

I wanted to know if I could upgrade the ROM to a newer version?

If yes, how?

Sorry if this is n00bish but i've never had a pocket pc. All my life i've had a Symbian based phone.

Yes you can easily upgrade your device, make a backup of the ext-rom thought before you start. This part contains all kind of extra's like operator settings, backgrounds & applications. To do this you must make a link, via Act.Sync on the hidden file on your PPC: \windows\loadvdisk.exe. Put this link on your PPC in \windows\startup & start it with file explorer on the PPC. Now the ext-rom is shown & you can create a backup. After every soft-reset the loadvdisk.lnk is executed so it will remain visible almost for ever.

When you upgrade the rom, you will also have a new ext-rom content with provider settings, which might not be suitable for you. All you have to do is put the cabs containing the settings from your ori. ext-rom on your device & click on them to install.
