Rom Downgrade - 8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading

Hi all,
I own an I-mate Kjam with an official ROM 2.18.9.1 ITA. I would like to flash my kjam with a not official ROM, because they stopped to upgrade this device.
In order to flash the new ROM I should need to CID unlock my device and to do this I should downgrade to the ROM 1.xx.x.x.
I tried to do that but an error occurred and stopped the process. This error come out because it isn't possible to downgrade from this Rom version (this is the meaning of the error message). The same is written in the I-mate official site, "it is not possible to come back from this ROM version".
Is it possible to find out an alternative way the flash my device?
Thanks in advance.

Can't put I-Mate rom into unlocked QTEK9100 - Invalid Vender

Hello all, please help me...
I have a QTEK 9100 and it only takes a couple of the QTEK RUU updates and only a couple of the I-Mate K-JAM RUU updates. Most importantly it will NOT update to the latest QTEK 9100 RUU rom nor will it not update to the latest K-JAM RUU rom either. I prefer to have the latest K-JAM rom as that is what I have in my other MDA VARIO and it's great!
Now the error I receive is Invalid Vender (vendor?) ID... I HAVE unlocked the phone (both SIM unlock AND CID unlock)... I have CID unlocked it with both aWizard AND lokiwiz and I have also installed the EnableRAPI thing.
I have done everything I have found on these greate boards here at XDA-Developers and I have found nothing to fix this problem. I am able to use custom roms as well. But I can't use the K-JAM one. ALWAYS error 294 invalid vender id.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks in advance
The only thing I can suggest is that the CID unlock didn't work fully. It's worth checking the text as the lokiwiz runs to make sure the CID unlock actually goes through - see various posts under the lokiwiz thread on the general wizrd forum for information. dropping back to the QTEK Custom ROM and then running the lokiwiz has been a solution.
still no luck
At the moment I managed to put a different custom rom on there (button's custom) and even after doin the lokiwiz unlock and then attempting to put the latest imate rom still have no luck, still the same error: Invalid Vendor ID. Also i think i tried the same with the original qtek rom as suggested and had no luck... maybe someone could point me to the custom original qtek rom that would fix my problem? Maybe i used the wrong one?
Thanks in advance
I used this one CUSTOM__RUU_Wizard_1050412_WWE_101_11210_WWE.exe - it's in the FTP site area
tried it didnt work
Hello my friend,
I tried the custom rom you suggested and THEN unlocked the device again, also did enableRapi, then attempted the latest Imat K-Jam rom update and it failed with error 294 invalid vender (vendor?) id... with the red green blue screen on the QTEK 9100... For additional info it displays IPL 1.01 and SPL 1.0.1.0000
Please let me know if you have any more ideas on how to update my QTEK9100 to the latest I-Mate K-Jam rom successfully. Also, for some reason one of the older I-Mate roms updated successfully, but the latest one doesnt.
Let me know and many many thanks...
Hi,
I had the same trouble. Try this:
Load the custom rom that JoninLA suggests.
Then unlock the CID using aWizard.
Then load the original Imate KJAM ROM from the ftp site
Then load the AKU2 Imate KJAM ROM
That should work.
Should I CID unloack with aWizard in between all these updates? I would think so right?
Thanks again
I did as jasoncheesemanuk suggested... with the custom rom on there i UNLOCKED CID, then upgraded to original IMATE rom, then attempted to upgrade to latest IMATE rom (without unlocking again) and i got the same problem: error 294 Invalid Vender ID
Please help, is there a solution out there? Why is this QTEK 9100 so stupborn?
Many thanks in advance for anyone's help on this.

Hi, I've a Qtek9100 with ipl & spl 2.17.0001 WWE, so I guess it's a g4, and I'd like to upgrade to the latest spanish rom. I've read a lot of threads, including the one supposed to fix my problem when tryng to unlock the CID (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=263116), but keep getting errors when I try to downgrade using custom__ruu_wizard_1050412_wwe_101_11210_wwe. rom
The pda goes into bootloader mode and the the upgrade utility gives an "error 300: invalid update tool, this update utility cannot be used for your pda phone. Please get newer update utility" error message.
Can anyone help, please?
Thanks in advance

Just check your device if it is G3 or G4, then either Unlock or HardSPL/SoftSPL your device and flash one of the Wizard English WM5/WM6 ROMs available.

If you have downloaded official Rom from it's website and still can't upgrade then use the 'ROMUpdateUtility_Wizard_NoID' replace it with the ruu in the official rom,you can get this from the below link.:-
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=291215
or as starkwong has suggested,you can CID unlock the phone and upgrade to any latest custom build wm6 english roms.To unlock read and correctly follow the method as explained in the stickies for unlocking and upgrading in the 'wizard upgrading forum'.

plz today i must do this i need help!!!
XDA-developers plz help me!!!
Well,I'll suggest you go for the second option,unlock your phone and upgrade to any latest wm6 custom build Roms.Once you get your phone unlocked,it stays unlocked and gives you the opportunity to keep on upgrading to the latest Roms and features.Read the stickies on unlocking and upgrading and do it correctly,I'm sure you'll have much more benefits and enjoyment.
Cheers !

ok,grrrrrr8,if you have managed to downgrade to ipl/spl 1.xx,its time to SIM/CID unlock the phone,read the 'definitive guide for unlocking by Dr.Puttingham and download the lokiwiz-2b tool and do the method exactly as stated in the guide to Sim/CID unlock your phone,after successful unlock upgrade to ipl/spl 2.xx by downloading and flashing T-mobile 2.26 to the phone,only then you can upgrade to any latest wm6 rom,as its required to have CID unlocked phone and ipl/spl 2.xx for upgrade to wm6.
Good luck
& 1 question again.
if i uogarde my device with T-mobile ROM 2.26 and want to upgrade again to WM6 i must unlock CID again??? or i can upgrade ROM without it???

Upgrade question

Sorry for Offtopic but, i cant install official wm5 rom cause.
The ruu with wm5 doesnt work> connection error
The .nkb doesnt work with ruu mun> file read error
What to do???
LOLOLOLOL
Are you sure it is .nkb? Wizard doesn't use that kind of ROM...
What?? Of course he uses. I extracted the RUU and rom file from .exe instaler.
What could i do? I tried also flash it with softspl and i didnt work.
Well,which rom you are trying to flash and which rom is at present running on the phone,plz be specific ?This problem usually occurs when trying to flash a rom in a language different then already present on the phone.Are you running a Russian or some other language OS on the phone and trying to flash with a rom in some other language ?

I have T mobile mda vario g4 and i want to install official wizard wm5 rom in german language. And i cant.
No i am running wm6.1 with english language. I had never, after the hardspl, problem with flashing g4 roms. Everithing worked perfect with muunˇs RUU.
I have english rom( all instaled roms were anglish) and i want to downgrade to official wm5 german rom. And tzhen upgrade to another wm6 or wm6.1 rom.
Why i cant??
Sorry. U are right. The rom file is. nbf , and yeah the official rom is like that.
If i try to flash it with ruu in official pack - i cant cause wrong update tool ( no connection)
And if i want to flash this official rom with munn ruu - file read error( something wrong with .nbf file)
sry, double post
and thanks for helping me out
Ok,I got your point. You are at present on wm6.1 latest custom build rom in english and you want to go back to your phones official wm5 rom,ok ?
Right,well,as you have done 'HardSPL' your phone and its IPL/SPL is patched to IPl 2.21.0001 and SPL 2.21.olip,right ?
ok,now as you have patched to ipl 2.21.0001 & spl 2.21 olip through 'HardSPL',its not possible to revert back to official rom,untill you remove the 'HardSPL' from your phone and flash the original/official IPL/SPL of your phones carrier Rom bootloaders.After only removing HardSPL and getting the official ipl/spl,it'll will be possible to flash the official wm5 rom,ok
Now,how to remove 'HardSPL', read and follow the method as instructed in the 'Sticky' in the G4 forum by dharvey "How To: Remove HardSPL"
Well,then again,if you want to upgrade to another wm6 rom,you'll have to either again use 'HardSPL' or 'SoftSPL',but,if at all,you want to flash with another wm6 rom,then why first downgrade to wm5,why not straight away flash the rom while with HardSPL still on the phone ?
Cheers!
Yeah, everything is soo as u wrote.
you: why not straight away flash the rom while with HardSPL still on the phone ?
I have very strange problem with wm6.1 rom that i would like to use, until the new paradox rom will come out. i will try it for sure.
U can read about problem in wm6 subforum in windows Mobile 6.1 slim editon thread.
So do i have any option unless to remove hardspl?
u are the king , i wouldn come in weeks to the "please remove hardspl, " solution. hahahaha thanks again
Ok, thanks
well,if you got a problem with the wm 6.1 slim,then just flash another wm6.1 latest rom e.g by 'it's right' 'TNT 19199 series Professional Rom' as I have personally used it and found it to be an excellent rom,without removing HardSPL and reverting back to official wm5 rom.Just give it a try,I'm pretty sure you'll like it and may sove all your problem,as it'll replace all the rom files of the previous wm6.1 slim rom.
Cheers!
Tooo late. hehe
To remove the hardspl u need 2 minutes. I removed it and tried to instalruu_vario_aku3.3_3822_382120_026911_tmo_de_ger_ship
Again once again i get the message from ruu = error file read.
Could somebody open that rom and look for problems.
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Wizard_Upgrades
First one on the site.
Right now i want to flash another official rom( from remove hardspl thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=342744) and it say again file read.
What could that mean??
EDIT:
I just succesfully instaled ruu_vario_aku3.3_3822_ rom with ruu in the rom` folder. I tried also the T-Mobile MDA Official WM5 Rom (old) with his ruu and it didnt worked. Also softspl didnt work on both roms.
I need quick answer
now i flashed wm5 rom aku 3.3 and the ipl/spl changed to 3.08 . Before was 2.26 which i got with instaling ipl/spl pack.
Is that bad for g4 with ipl/spl 3.08 , is it safe to install wm6.1 roms?????

Download official stock rom of your carrier and flash it in bootloaders to recover back to its default working status,then if its a G3 phone, downgrade to ipl/spl 1.xx by flashing Button's Rom and SIM/CID unlock with lokiwiz02b,but if its a G4 ,it cannot be CID unlocked but can be upgraded to wm6 through 'SoftSPL' or 'HardSPL'.

You got to have a CID unlocked phone to upgrade to any wm6 Rom.Sometimes SPL do get stuck up at 2.xx while downgrading with Button's Rom,it takes a couple of tries to get it downgraded to 1.xx.Flash the button's rom a few times more till it gets downgraded.You can only CID unlock your phone,if it has IPL/SPL 1.xx.

Don't use those ROMs as they are for G4!!!
If flashing original ROM doesn't solve the case then you'll have to buy the unlock program from IMEI-check company.
Many thanks
Can you give me some advice what is the best version for qtek 9100 I can’t find any original qtek rom please give me a link
And if I buy IMEI Program after apply that my device starts normally?
I don’t want WM6 only back to normal
And serious problem is
I have FORMAT FAT FAIL for warm reset. In this case its possible hardware (disk on chip) has a hardware problem?
Thank you all

No. the problem is simply of messed up firmware. I believe that the SPL tries to load the OS but it must be at a different address and never starts to load.
The IMEI-check tool will simply CID unlock your device. You still have to do the "r2sd all" procedure...
good luck
