OK, first post ..... treat me easy n slow!!

I have 15 years mobile experience, but not always technical. These days I am playing with my Samsung i600, Imate PDA2k, HTC K-Jam, N95 etc etc...

Anyway, here's my update on upgrading my K-Jam to Windows Mobile 6 - BTW (is WM6 Wizard Mobile or Windows Mobile)??

The story start with ipl 2.26 and spl 2.26 (and ends their)!!

When you restart the KJam check the ipl and spl - these are very very important (do not upgrade to 3.08 - this gave me real headaches).

Anyway, my device was probably already unlocked and CID unlocked, so after 2 days I think I could have upgraded in 20 mins ... :)

Moral is - try to upgrade first before following all the instructions on XDA-Developers. The file that worked for me was TNT.19199_professional_wizard

So, without trying the above which I bet would have worked first time, I downloaded many many ROMS and ran several - followed all the instructions and as per my i600 upgrade and got somewhere but didn't manage to complete - like for 2 days!!

Here's my issues list :)

1. Don't go IPL or SPL 3.08

SPL 3.08 is almost impossible to downgrade and you will keep getting to 98% or 99% without ever getting to 100%; that said I did manage to downgrade from IPL 1.05 / SPL 3.08 with LOKIWIZ / T-Mobile 2.26 (both posted several times)

1a. Lokiwiz - ISSUES

I ran this under XP and it wouldn't start. Trick was to login as admin user - then it did

Somewhere someone says copy enablerapi.cab to your HTC - I forgot after first time and it made a difference

Anyhow, I went 2.26,2.26 to 2.26, 1.01 to 3.08,3.08 to 3.08,1.01 to 3.08, 1.05 and then.... with enablerapi.cab loaded on HTC.... 2.26,2.26 by running the T-Mobile Rom.... then ran the TNT file above and now on Windows Mobile 6 .... Eiiiissssshhhhh (as they say in SA)....

Now,, does anyone know a nice WM6 interface??? my i600 looks very cute but the K-Jam is not so cool... anyone know where to view GUI pictures??

Hope the above helps for someone... truely I am not a geek, but not a dumbo either and it took me 2 days...

Great Forum BTW..

Cheers JA.

I have 2 TMobile mda's. Have tried the TNT rom, and on the first mda, the itouch software caused the phone to freak out and not load several cab files, clocknot.exe, calnot.exe, and replog.exe. I had to flash and re-install the rom each time and the phone would work perfectly until the itouch software was activated, and then all of the problems would return. This actually allows the phone to go to sleep, and not wake up..which causes missed phone calls, missed texts....etc. Have you had this problem also?
