Radio info - 8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin

Hello guys. I´m kind of new to this forum and also to the hermes mobile device. I got a TyTn and i flashed it with the Shaps 3.60 ROM
My first question, witch might be stupind enough, is what does the radio do? i´ve seen some posts about upgrading the radio version and I would like to know what exactly this thing envolves and how do I chose the best radio version to fit my device. Does it depend on the network operator, or the services I´m using?
Second question is that after installing the new Shaps ROM my TyTn gives me a warning message saying that it wasn´t able to obtain an automatic IP and to check my Connection Settings. The IP asigned is from the same class as the one from my PC. Before installing the ROM it worked, now i can´t surf on the net through ActiveSync. Besides that, how can i use my PC as a wireless server for my TyTn? my device connects with the PC but the IP class is different.
Please help

Actually we aleardy tried it and its doesnt work, it wont connect and if connected the only way to stop it is to soft reset the device. This is only when using WM2003.
refer to WMODEM search in forum i have 2 topics that will reply in details to your questions
ok, check this out...
I am using a att tilt(TyTN II=Kaiser) and i have all the settings in my Viata PC to use it for a mobile modem and it keeps telling me that WModem.exe is erring...
Here's the specs of my device....
ROM version 3.57.502.2 WWE
ROM date 07/17/08
Radio version 1.65.21.18
Protocol version 25.88.40.05H
I did a ROM upgrade myself some time ago from 6.0pro to 6.1pro and would just re-flash and update again to recover lost or corrupted data on device but i cant even remember how the heck i did it in the first place...
Can you help me, ANYONE?

XDAUnlock Tool - Getting beyond a joke!

I've been trying for several months now to unlock my XDA1 Wallaby without success. I've loaded the Special Edition ROM 1.2 on my device and followed the Wiki instructions:
"To use XDAunlock.......tranfer XDAunlock.exe to any directory on your device using the 'Explore' funtion of ActiveSync. Run it and you will be prompted to ask if you really want to unlock, and then it's done".
I loaded the XDAunlock program into the Program Files directory of my device. However, when I click on XDAunlock.exe it gives me 'error getting unlock code'. It all sounds so simple but it just doesn't seem to work and nothing in the instructions relates to this error. Can anyone help. I'm even prepared to call anywhere in the world if someone has the solution.
Thanks
The special edition rom should unlock automatically, the xdaunlock is part of the rom so there is no need to transfer the xdaunlock program to your device. If it doesnt execute xdaunlock on first boot after buring the special edition rom you can run it from the programs list or explore for it. Have you tried a different sim to see if in fact it is unlocked?
Hey, thanks for the quick reply.
I'd already tried what you suggested and it's what I understood should happen but it didn't. It didn't automatically unlock on first boot and I was unable to find it in the Programs list so I loaded XDAunlock directly into my Programs Files directory. I then located it in File Explore and clicked on XDAunlock.exe, which is when I got the error. The reason I'm trying to unlock is that I was formerly a TMobile subscriber and recently got a cheap Motorola when I switched to Cingular. I've tried both SIM cards in the device with the same result. I'm at a loss but want to try everything I can to avoid forking out for a new device.
Which Radio Version do you have?
Stefan
Stefan,
I don't know which version I have but assumed it would be whatever loaded with the Special Edition ROM 1.2. How do I check?
David
Radio Version can be seen via Settings -> System -> Device Information
The Radio Version is independent of the ROM Version.
XDAunlock do only work with special radiostacks together. So there may the problem why it isn't working for you...
Stefan
I'm apparently using Radio version 6.25.02

Stefan, I don't know if you are a beer drinker but I owe you one. Your suggestions, once I changed the Radio version worked like a charm. Now I just have to find the best OS for Cingular here in the US.
Thanks again for your help and don't hesitate to let me know if you get to New York for that beer.
Glad to hear, that your device is well working....
In my opinion, on of the best ROM is the 4.01.12 Version. Its a WM2003 ROM including wmodem to use the Wallaby as modem.
Don´t know if you have already read anything of the ROMkitchen, but there you can include some applications diretcly in the ROM.
YOu can create your own ROM here:

PS: Don´t know if i will ever be in New York, but drinking beer sound great. ;-)
So many Things and hardly any experience LOL
tried downloading the special edition rom from The site but It must either be down or not there any more. any one know where I can get it elswhere?
I also have a SIEMENS SX56 with a Simcard from AT&T, bad thing about it is I switched to T-Mobile and now I get a sim Lock SID password box.
Have no clue where to start. Definately needs unlocking.. Now does it make a difference if the T mobile sim card or the AT&T sim are in the PDA?
So many Q's..
Thanks in advance for any assistance
RATTLER1
I tried both links referred to in the thread and they worked. I'm assuming you have a cable connection as the Special ROM is 15+MB and would be a problem to download if not. Other than that, don't know what to suggest other than going back to ATT/Cingular, which I find much better than Tmobile after four years of frustration.
Good luck

New ROM for JASJAM 1.31.305.2_106_6275_1.38.30.10 from Telstra

Hi Guys
I have just noticed that there is new ROM published on www.clubimate.com today.
As far as i understand it is the same OS version as installed on all JASJAMs sold by Telstra, but just with new radio and maybe new extROM ?
What i dont understand is why it says 1.38.30.10 instead of 1.38.00.10 ?
Maybe some additional customizations for their NextG network ?
Here is the link:
ftp://ftp.clubimate.com/i-mate_JASJAM_telstra_1.31.305.2_106_6275_1.38.30.10_108_ship.zip
Hey, good find!
Dunno if i have time for flashing ROMs today but will have a look at some stage. Lol, dunno what's with the standard OS but nomenclature of radio rom is intriguing.
PS just noticed you're in adelaide. Good form

Could you please upload extracted RadioROM to rapidshare or megaupload ?
am doing it now... stay tuned
I extracted the radio rom. It is 1.38.30.10, flashed it with the new Custom RUU works great. I'll test it today to see if there's any noticable difference between 1.38.00.10. Here it is if anyone wants it. When it doubt use Force Using SSPL.

well some parts of cingular runs 3g in 850 like here in jacksonville...so might help some of us here too
I have just flashed it, i havent had any problems with 1.38.00.10 on Telstras NextG network, so will see how this one goes. ;-)
Hi all, I've just installed the WM6 Black 1.2 and Hard SPL 1.10 Oli to my Jasjam, very nice. It took me all last weekend to reinstall the Applications and data.
My current ROM is 3.22.200.4 and Radio Rom is 1.20.31.10. I've just want to know:
1. Is it worth just install this Radio Rom only 1.33.30.10 to improve my GSM reception and WIFI.
2. Also if I install the Radio Rom only- do I still have to reinstall every Applications AGAIN.....
Cheers

About 1000x said there is NO improve in WIFI with radio ROM...this is part of the OS and not the Radio ROM...yes it is worth if you have any older version than 1.38.00.00

It depends on the way you do the install...cause the latest RUU (original one) make task 28 on the end of the install and this mean HARD RESET...I will do my update from SD card...

Well I've been using it for a day now and haven't noticed any huge improvement in the radio but I with more use it may prove to be better.
Noticed the new MS Packet Video player. Guess this is to solve the problems Telstra customers were having with no Foxtel sevices on the Jasjam. I believe it was an issue of Media Player not being compatible.
Also a few small changes to Telstra customizatons. No changes to WM5, still AKU 2.3.
Maybe my imagination, but I thought I used to be able to turn on Flight Mode (radio off) and still have WiFi on, but can't now. Also the tab in Phone options to Update Time has gone, and there seems to be one less tab in the WiFi settings. Guess you can get them back with reg hacks.
Funny how everyone raves about how fast WM6 feels when they first install it... this update made me realise how fast WM5 feels when it is a new/clean install.
I uploaded the Radio Only with the Olipro RUUWrapper so it wont HR after you install. Also NON rapidshare mirror.

A reference:
Last Updated: 27 March 2007
As a further enhancement to the Next G (TM) network, Telstra will carry out a platform upgrade which will affect i-mate JASJASM users and will require them to carry out a software upgrade for their handsets. This software upgrade will be available on a CD and on the www.imate.com/jasjamsupport website.
Customers who purchase an i-mate (TM) JASJAM must be informed prior to purchase that their i-mate JASJAM handset will require a software upgrade. Customers must be told that this software upgrade is available on the www.imate.com/jasjamsupport website. CDs with the software upgrade will be available on request from the website soon.
Post the network upgrade, the customer will need to have installed the new software on their device in order to maintain simultaneous voice and data connectivity.
Before the network upgrade, all Telstra i-mate (TM) JASJAM users will be sent an SMS, followed by a direct mail piece with instructions on how to facilitate the upgrade.
Note: the customer must download the upgrade to a PC then to the handset. There is no provision to download directly from the imate site to customers handsets.
Customers are advised to backup all personal data prior to downloading the software to their device.

From that link, the enhancements :
The essential service enhancements include:
• Network enhancement: this upgrade will even further optimize the performance of your i-mate™ JASJAM on the Telstra Next GTM network, taking full advantage of all the latest network enhancements and ensuring you can continue to make/receive calls during a data transmission eg. Direct Push Email.
• Time Zone fix: currently some of your appointments may appear to be shifted forward by one hour. This may have occurred when daylight savings commenced. The service upgrade will help stop this occurring.
• Unknown USB device driver fix: you may have seen an "Unknown USB device" error message appear on your screen. It is extremely intermittent, and only experienced by a small number of devices. The service upgrade will help stop this error occuring.
• Screen Backlight fix: you may have experienced your back light not turning on making it difficult to read the screen. It is extremely intermittent, and is only experienced by a small number of devices. The service upgrade will help stop this occurring.
• Freeze fix: you may have experienced your device freezing up. It is extremely intermittent, and is only experienced by a small number of devices. The service upgrade will help stop this occurring.
• Bluetooth® fix: this enhanced version of Bluetooth® is designed to improve the ability to connect your i-mate™ JASJAM to other Bluetooth® compatible accessories eg. Bluetooth® headset or car kit.

"extremely intermittent" device freezes? Some here would beg to differ.
Anyone extracted the cab files from EXTROM?
Hi
Are the new Windows Media streamer install file located in the EXT rom?
Can anyone extract those from the installation file and post them somewhere?
Thanks

While it's technically OK to use with the radio ROM you created, it's bad advice in general (particularly if you have Hard-SPL installed). The "Force SSPL" option should only be used to upgrade/downgrade Hard-SPL. The latest Custom RUU (V4) has SPL auto-detect. When it doubt, use that!

Recieving [Error 224]

Hello all,
I Eb'd an HTC wizard (cingular 8125) running Wizard Love/NBD WM 6.
On the load screen I get:
AKU 2.3;
IPL and SPL:2.25.0001;
radio:2.25.11;
rom: 6.0.0.0.
My carrier is Tmobile.​
Question 1: If my phone has this newer ROM and it takes calls on the Tmobile network it has been CID unlocked and SIM unlocked...right?
I wanna update my rom and think that I am competent enough to do so but there is alot to learn and this is not my full time gig...right.
Question 2: So, if I am correct in Q1 I should be able to flash roms right?
However when I attempt to do so the RUU gives me [error 224]. Active sync and or WMDC says its connected. (I installed the AS drivers in WMDC)
Question 3: Where do I go from here?
Question 4: The wi-fi is currently not working will a new rom potentially clear this up?
Thanks in advance for the time and advice..
grazie
hmmmm,
Well,did you updated to NBD wm6 yourself ? and how did you updated ? which method you adopted ? SoftSPL or HardSPL ?
You say its SIM unlocked as it takes calls on the Tmobile network .Did you SIM unlocked with lokiwiz03a ?
yes ! a G4 can be SIM unlocked but it can not be CID unlocked,however,it can be upgraded to wm6 rom,but with method either 'SoftSPL' or 'HardSPL'.With your present ipl/spl 2.25.0001 and you say its NBD wm6 running,then it must have been upgraded through 'SoftSPL' method,as it uses patched ipl/spl and Cid unlocks the phone temporarily,but it never permanently CID unlocks the phone.But with 'HardSPL' ,it changes the ipl/spl to a patched ipl 2.21.0001 and spl 2.21 olip.So everytime you want to upgrade,you'll have to upgrade using 'SoftSPL' method.
could you elaborate a little more about this.
Cheers!
Hey thanks for the correspondence zabardast_1, I have been getting frustrated and I have many times contemplated going for the brick or bust approach here.
So, I have done none of the updating on this rig. I rec'd it and I wanted it primarily for wifi however I can't get the wifi card/ (sdiowlan I believe) to even recognize an AP (... I posted in the networking forum but no response.) Thus my own reasoning leads me to believe I should start from scratch with a new rom unless you know of something else.
So, I am not the most savvy and thought that all of the info I had led to SIM and CID unlocked. I just read otherwise last night and in your reply. The info I have provided is accurate the IPL, SPL, radio, although I don't know which NBD release it is; just says 6.0.0.0 and release date: 2/2/07.
I am trying to get the new rom on the my device however and I would've probably already bricked it if I could get an RUU to communicate with my wiz. I always get [Error 224] when I run it and my phone is connected through active sync. I am running vista but have installed the AS drivers for WMDC. I also tried it at work the other day with XP same situ. I then tried flashing from the bootloader screen with an NBD, Wizard Love ( w/ Italian installer?), and T-mob (226102_22610105_022511). The only one that says it will update is the Tmob ROM, however I got cold feet at the update button and canceled.
Other funny stuff I have observed that may or may not be related to the problems I am having are:
Can't install cab files ie (enable rapi or Cert SPCS) and Wiz Sys Tools couldn't read my CID block and hard_SPL G4 gives me REXX error ( SPL_Version has no value).
So, any wizdom you or anybody can drop is much appreciated and needed at this point.
Whew...
Listen carefully. G4 Wizard cannot be CID-unlocked without paying money. (And yes, you are using a G4).
What you need now is to Flash your original stock carrier ROM (Or wizard love) to get your OS back. Then either use SoftSPL or install HardSPL and flash WM6 ROM.
Thanks Starkwong,
I will try installing wizard love tomorrow at work and if that don't work I will attempt a Cing ROM (will all of these work or do I need to mind my G3's and G4's for these???)
Grazie
So, It worked using Wizard Love at work and out of the bootloader window. Now I need to:
1.) Get wifi working.
2.) Get a newer ROM
I put a post up in the networking thread, I am a tool so far as these devices are concerned so be easy on me.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=372811
So do I get the wifi issue resolved before I reflash???
Thx again
I don't know what you mean by "wifi not working".
Maybe it is the wifi AP doesn't allow 11Mbps (802.11b) connections?
However, going to any of the WM6 ROMs should already set the registry to allow Wizard connects to G-Only APs. Just use HardSPL/SoftSPL and flash a WM6 and you will see.
OK so "wifi not working" may indeed be a general statement...
What I mean to say is that I am not able to connect to any wireless networks for internet not home (Linksys WRT 54G v5 with ddwrt firmware) or school (university wide) or my city's wifi network. It won't even detect them at least none that Ive seen since I've rec'd this phone. So, that is what I meant by the ambiguous statement.
So, being as your last post was a success I will try as you say and post the results tomorrow. Thanks again starkwong!!!
1 quick thing however, to be sure, I can now try the hard spl or soft spl method of tricking my phone to run an upgrade to WM6?
Still not able to get wifi APs????
OK although I have been successful at reinstalling the Mfg ROM and then Hard SPL'ing my wizard thanks to ya'll I still am unable to connect to a wireless network (see one even). I have the Olip on my SPL and I installed a TNT version of WM6 and I am still at work (drunk but still here). Anyway I can't see my wireless AP and I am beginning to think its a hardware issue if thats possible, i dunno the dynamics of this system maybe thats why it was for sale. In any event as usual I am willing to try what ever you guys throw at me as you're my only hope obi wan. Alright Im gonna go home for the night and try getting on to my home network.
Thanks again for all the help guys.
Is your device a original one from phone operator? I suspect your device is a China Dopod 838 with replaced casing, because the China version has the wifi hardware removed, so wifi can't be started even if an English ROM is used.
Looks to be authentic 8125
Starkwong, the Cingular logo and the 8125 model # are on the phone case where they have been when I've seen them before in pics. Therfore, I dunno I guess it looks like every other 8125 I've seen. Can I check the SN, IME or anything to be sure?
Thanks Again!!!
Starkwong,
I am getting all the options for wifi on my phone the LHS LED flashes green when I enable it and alternates blue green when BT is enabled. So, could it still be that its a dupod? I dunno but I am going home for the night... Thanks for your help. I will try connecting to my home network when I get there.

Tytn as a modem: big problem with Schap's 3.54..Help needed!!

Hi all!
I'm new on the forum but it is quite a long time I read it. I'm italian.
I followed the guides to Hrd Spl and I upgraded my vodafone 1605 to WM6 using the Schap's rom 3.54 ITA and everythying is working fine. I have only one problem: when I had the original WM5 vodafone rom I was able to connect to internet using my Tytn as a modem as follows: programs>wireless modem>start.
Now, with the new rom I'm not able to connect to internet using the tytn as a modem but just by itself. When I connect my Dash using the USB cable, select the Internet Sharing option under Settings, it creates this "Windows mobile Internet sharing device" but this not allows mr to surf with my Laptop.
What can I do to solve this problem? I have tio downgrade again to WM5 or there is a possibility to solve this problem? Please let me know! Thank you so much
Have you tried...
After flashing your phone were you able to browse the web using the phones internet browser. If not then you are probably missing the data connection settings for your phone, once they are in place then the phone as modem/internet sharing option should work again. If you don't have those settings for your cellular carrier then you could always flash their rom back to the phone, lookup the settings, and then flash Schaps ROM again and input the network settings.
Good luck,
Sam
