Bought JAFWM yesterday and here is what I have found:

-Tried flashing New Jamin Rom
Result-Stuck in perpetual reset mode most of the time
When I did manage to get out of the automatic reset loop here is what I found:
1. Radio rom was not installed (=no phone, wifi, bluetooth functionality
2. device had incredibly poor response to any commands (severe lag issues)
3. Basic functionality (even without phone) was very bad

-Tried flashing Qtek Rom
Result-similar as imate (listed above)
1. No radio rom
2. device had better response than imate rom but still poor


Flashed back to shipped dopod 818 pro rom

-Thank God my device returned to normal (radio rom was installed this time)

Conclusion:

I don't think JAFWM can unlock CID (based on my exerience)
If their are any JAFWM experts out there please let me know if there is a way to get the radio rom installed with the new ROMS (ie. QTEK,IMATE)
If JAFWM can't unlock the CID than there is no advantage to using this device other than it's user friendly interface (which is quite easy for unexperienced rom flashers)

Still waiting for Dopod's new rom (that seems to be my only answer for AKU2)

I tried flash my Dopod 818 pro to any rom such as Jamin or Qtek S200 by JAFWM and all run well.

You should know when to keep the bootloader and when to skip it.
If you want to play ROM JAMIN in your Dopod 818 pro, do like I did:
1. Use JAFWM downgrade bootloader to 1.0 by flashing Dopod818pro_WWE_1001321_10013102_11320_Ship without skip bootloader.
2. Unlock CID by aWizard. JAFWM will have function unlock soon be sure.
3. If you want to play ROM JAMIN with OS 2.0 do: use JAFWM flash RUU_Prophet_2100728_21007109_020720_QtekDAN_Ship without skip bootloader. Then flash JAMin_WWE_2130923_21309112_020720_ship. Cos as I know, only Qtek Rom can upgrade both IPL and SPL. And Dopod Rom can downgrade both. JAMin can not.

And if you just need to upgrade your radio only, you have to dump it to nba file, then use aWizard burn it to you phone. Cos the package of Prophet ROM always exits with 1 file nk.nbf.
If you use JAFWM mobility with other software, it'll greatly help.
That's my experience, hope your PDA work well :D

Thanks for the feedback, in case JAFWM have some bug, your post will help me to debug it. It would help me also if you could post here your JAFWMLOG.txt , you can find it in same dir JAFWM.exe is located.

But I will check it also myself and will post result here, but sofar i know there are not any problems known until now. However, i have no NEO i will buy one at monday and play little bit. Maybe os not match bootloader or whatever, but let see after i have my NEO.

Today played little bit with my Qtek s200. I flashed it with with follow roms:

JAMin_WWE_ 2130923_21309112_020720_ship
RUU_Prophet_1001321_10013102_11320_DopodAsia_Ship

I did not unlock any CID before and all functions was normal. I did it with skipped and witout skipped bootloader flash. If any one have any problem with a secific rom, plz tell me and i will test it.

All this tests we has done with the new version (1.3beta) released today. You can download from http://forums.phone-tools.cn/showthread.php?t=9411 and try it.

If you want to play ROM JAMIN in your Dopod 818 pro, do like I did:
1. Use JAFWM downgrade bootloader to 1.0 by flashing Dopod818pro_WWE_1001321_10013102_11320_Ship without skip bootloader.
2. Unlock CID by aWizard. JAFWM will have function unlock soon be sure.
3. If you want to play ROM JAMIN with OS 2.0 do: use JAFWM flash RUU_Prophet_2100728_21007109_020720_QtekDAN_Ship without skip bootloader. Then flash JAMin_WWE_2130923_21309112_020720_ship. Cos as I know, only Qtek Rom can upgrade both IPL and SPL. And Dopod Rom can downgrade both. JAMin can not.

And if you just need to upgrade your radio only, you have to dump it to nba file, then use aWizard burn it to you phone. Cos the package of Prophet ROM always exits with 1 file nk.nbf.

Hello ta_mobile,
After flashing Dopod ROM into my Xda Neo using JAF without skip IPL/SPL, I got IPL=1.0 and SPL=2.09 and the device stucked at the bootloader mode with 3 colors and could not load the OS. I then flashed Neo with Qtek ROM 2.09 skiping IPL/SPL. My Neo works fine but now I have IPL 1.0 and SPL 2.09, I could not unlock CID using aWizard. Is there any way to get SPL 1.0 and do CID unlock????
Thanks

...I could not unlock CID using aWizard. Is there any way to get SPL 1.0 and do CID unlock????...

Hello,

i have an German O2 Neo and sometimes Problems with CID unlocking for Flashing. Start aWizard an use the option "e". Then show on youre XDA and start the enablerapi.cab on youre XDA. At next use aWizard with the option unlockCID and test flashing!

With this Method i can backup my Neo with aWizard and flash the new Jamin ROM, the Qtek ROM not. Rebackup to German ROM also OK but only the OS, the BootScreen (SplashScreen) not.

Sry for my miserable english!
